Chapter 182 In the Snow
Ye Jinghong’s words caused Zhou Xuru to be struck by lightning on the spot. He had not had a good rest that night, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
For them at this time, the granary is undoubtedly the top priority.
The roof of the granary was overturned, and all the dry food stored inside was exposed to the wind and snow. This was not a good thing for them.
At this stage, because Zhou Xu has introduced currency, before winter, with his reminder, each tribe member has already stocked up a certain amount of food in advance.
Based on this premise, their granary still has enough food for the whole village to eat for a month.
According to Zhou Xu's expectation, even if there was any accident, it would be enough for them to survive.
Who would have thought that this was just the beginning of winter, and a snowstorm would come as a blow to him and overturn his granary!
"When was the roof of the granary blown off?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu calmed down and quickly confirmed the situation with Ye Jinghong.
Faced with this problem, Ye Jinghong bravely gave the answer...
"I don't know, when we found out in the morning, the roof had been blown off and the granary was already filled with snow. , I’m afraid it was removed last night. The wind and snow outside were so heavy that we couldn’t hear any movement.”
At this point, Ye Jinghong paused.
"As for the two people responsible for guarding the granary..."
Zhou Xu must have sent someone to guard an important place like the granary. One person was not safe enough, so he assigned them directly at the time. The two look out for each other.
But now, looking at Ye Jinghong's expression, one could tell that the two of them were probably in danger.
“We are searching with all our strength!”
In such blizzard weather, the roof of the granary was lifted, the inside was filled with snow, and the whereabouts of the two people were unknown...
In all likelihood, they were buried alive.
As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu's eyes quickly fell on Ye Jinghong.
"Jinghong, go arrange a new place to store the food, and then organize the villagers to clear the snow on the ground to provide a relatively safe environment for the subsequent work. At the same time, launch a search and rescue for the two missing people!"
< br>"Yes!"
"Chongshan, Li Ce, you two call the soldiers to clear the snow on the roofs to see if they can be reinforced. As for those roofs that have been crushed or blown off , and try to make repairs as much as possible."
Regarding this arrangement, Li Ce opened his mouth twice, as if he wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.
On the way here, he had already experienced it firsthand. In this wind and snow, they were struggling to even walk. In this case, they had to go up to the house to clean the snow from the roof and even reinforce it. , How easy is it to repair the roof?
But he soon realized that this was not something that could or could not be done, but that they had no choice at all!
Whether it is clearing the snow from the roof or reinforcing the roof, it is to prevent the roof from being crushed or blown off during this snowstorm.
They don’t know when the snow will stop, but what they can confirm is that if they lose the shelter of their houses in this snowstorm, their lives will be threatened!
What was before them at this time was not a multiple-choice question at all!
“But chief, we went to clear the snow and search and rescue, who will deal with the food buried in the snow?”
"I'll go."
Zhou Xu said these two words decisively.
While saying these two words, a string of ancient tones came directly from Zhou Xu's mouth.
【Skeleton Soldier Summoned! 】
Seeing their leader activate the mantra, the three of them did not doubt that he was there, and they all followed the order and left. In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared into the wind and snow.
The spread of the power of the mantra will not be affected by the snowstorm. Under the pull of the power of the mantra, skeleton soldiers broke through the soil and snow one after another, and climbed out with great effort.
If Zhou Xu were here, he would definitely notice that compared to usual, the skeleton soldiers had to climb more strenuously, which was undoubtedly caused by environmental factors. On the one hand, the weather was too cold and the land was frozen solid; on the other hand, it was because the land was covered with a thick layer of snow.
In this case, the skeleton soldiers who finally climbed out were blown away by the howling wind and snow before they could start their movements.
Facing this blizzard, even people are about to be blown away, how can those skeleton soldiers withstand it? Just give it to me for free!
But there are exceptions, and those are the fifteen hyena skeletons!
Coming in compliance with the summons, looking at the fifteen hyena skeletons outside the door, Zhou Xu could roughly guess what happened.
Just as he was about to leave, Chitose ran over.
Looking at Chitose, Zhou Xu frowned...
"Good boy, stay in the house."
But Chitose didn't care about this. He jumped out of the house and ran freely in the wind and snow, as if he was not affected at all.
This situation can’t help but be a bit beyond Zhou Xu’s expectation.
Although Chitose is already quite big, but counting the time, it is only about half a year old. Zhou Xu subconsciously thought that Chitose was still a child, but he never thought that he already had such abilities!
"Okay, you come with me."
After receiving the permission, Chitose jumped up and down excitedly.
Zhou Xu ignored him and his eyes fell directly on the fifteen hyena skeletons in front of him.
【Skeleton soldier control! 】
Limited by the abilities of the skeleton soldiers, although they cannot do things that are too complicated, they can still do simple physical work.
Controlling the hyena skeletons to protect him in the middle, and taking Chitose with him, Zhou Xu quickly left his residence and headed to the granary.
Although the wind and snow were so strong that they obscured their vision, their leader's battle was huge after all, and it quickly attracted the attention of the villagers.
"It's me! Don't be nervous!!"
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhou Xu quickly explained loudly.
The villagers were already familiar with the skeleton soldiers, and when they heard the voice of their leader, all of them naturally felt relieved.
During this period, Zhou Xu did not hesitate and directly commanded the hyena skeletons to start digging through the snow in search of buried food.
At the same time, Chitose kept walking around and sniffing, sniffing something.
Zhou Xu paid attention to it for a few times at first, but then ignored him.
After all, this little guy is very smart. After getting familiar with him, he basically walks in the village or even around the village every day, or patrols the territory. He is already quite familiar with the surrounding area, Zhou Xu No worries at all about it getting lost.
During this process, Chitose, who was sniffing on the snow all the way, seemed to have discovered something.
He raised his head and shouted ‘Ouch~’, as if he was calling Zhou Xu to come over.
But before I knew it, it had already run far away. Coupled with the cover of the wind and snow, where could I see Zhou Xu's figure within the field of vision?
Its cry was drowned out by the howling wind in an instant, and could not reach Zhou Xu at all.
Chitose, who said "Ouch~" in vain again, was obviously a little annoyed later on.
Just listen to the next second, and a roar comes directly from its mouth.
At that moment, in the air filled with flying snow, there seemed to be circles of sound waves visible to the naked eye spreading from its mouth, instantly blowing away all the surrounding snowflakes!
