Chapter 226 The coming blizzard and business opportunities! (5600)
As soon as everyone walked out of the forest, they saw snowflakes all over the sky.
The amount of snowfall is no less than the last "moderate snow".
But Cao Xing knew that this was just the beginning.
The next snowfall will continue to get heavier.
So, Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Let's go back, let's hurry back."
After saying that, he controlled Baymax to move forward at high speed.
"Moo——"
The mammoth began to run wildly.
Like a high-speed train, it smashes everything along the way!
Wally next to him ran at an equally amazing speed.
Its thick claws would leave a big hole in the snow every time, leaving a huge paw print.
Even excellent hunters would not dare to track such a powerful beast.
Soon, the group braved the wind and snow and gradually moved away from the Witch Forest.
Cao Xing found that as time went by, the scale of snowfall continued to increase.
And it was accompanied by an erratic cold wind.
"Huh-huh-"
A strong cold wind swept through.
Sitting on Dabai's back, Cao Xing not only felt that his body heat was losing rapidly, but his whole body was about to be blown away!
He quickly grabbed the hair on Dabai's back.
In the team, the few new archers following behind struggled to resist the wind and snow while moving forward with difficulty.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing frowned, and then ordered: "Everyone, slow down, Bronn, you go to the left side of the team and try to help our team members block the strong wind."
"Assam, you go to the right side of the team."
After hearing this, Bronn patted his chest and said, "Okay, Lord, let the strong Bronn protect you!"
Everyone started to take action.
"Huh-huh-"
The strong cold wind continued to howl.
Cao Xing glanced at the two little girls on Wally's back and reminded: "Elisa, little Chuchu, lie on Wally's back and remember to hold on to his hair firmly."
After hearing this, the two girls immediately followed the instructions without hesitation.
They lay on Wally's broad back like two little wombats.
Cao Xing also quickly dialed Ilena's communication channel.
"Zizzi...zizi..."
The sound of electric current sounded, and the signal was also interfered with due to the snowstorm.
However, we can barely communicate.
Cao Xing said quickly: "Ilena, inform all the territorial residents who are working outside to return to the territory as soon as possible."
"Everyone else, prepare to weather the storm."
Hearing the vague voice coming from the earphones, Ilena quickly replied: "As you command, Lord."
"Please be careful outside."
After saying that, Ilena informed her immediately.
All arrangements are in place.
Next, Cao Xing began to resist the snowstorm with all his strength while immersing himself in the road.
Originally, according to the system's countdown, there were still 2 hours until dark.
But because of the weather, even darkness seemed to come earlier.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the visibility is getting lower and lower, and the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier!
Snowflakes as big as fists splashed down from the sky as if they were free.
Not far yet.
A thick layer of snow has accumulated on everyone's heads.
Cao Xing patted the snow off Dabai's body.
However, snowflakes are not the scariest thing.
The scariest thing is that the wind is getting stronger and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
"Huh-huh-"
As time passed, Cao Xing felt a pair of invisible big hands constantly beating his body.
Cao Xing didn't know how strong the wind was now, but it must have reached an extremely terrifying level!
He had already seen the snowflakes all over the sky, mixed with various gravels and broken branches.
I even heard a loud "rumbling" sound.
It was the sound of several snow-capped mountains collapsing in the distance.
Liu Muxue looked at the scene in front of her and said in Cao Xing's ear: "Oh my god... the weather in this world is too bad..."
Cao Xing also nodded and grabbed Dabai's hair hard to prevent himself from being blown away.
At this time, the system prompt appears.
[Because the impact of this blizzard is too large, the power of Ice Nest has been interfered with. While the blizzard continues, Ice Nest will not continue to come...]
See system prompts.
At this moment, a burst of cheers came from the chat channel.
Cheng Qingsong: "Great. Fortunately, the Ice Nest has been disturbed. Otherwise, in such a big blizzard, we would have to resist the weather and the Ice Nest monster, and we would have no way to survive!"
Ling Tingzhang: "You're right. Fortunately, the system didn't treat us too harshly. Otherwise, our whole family would have finished playing tonight!"
Bi Xishan: "Fuck! Isn't this snowstorm too outrageous? It blew my sentry tower down and almost killed me!"
Wei Sui: "The vegetable greenhouse I finally built was blown away by me, my seeds!!!"
Qiao Jialong: "It's really outrageous. I feel that this time, all the territories that have not built city walls will definitely be seriously damaged."
Zhu Xin: "Yeah, even if we can survive this time, the various buildings we finally built will be damaged, and the progress will be slowed down a lot."
"Brothers, after this blizzard, I must try my best to build the wall!"
…
Liu Muxue also saw the discussion on the chat channel and couldn't help but admire Cao Xing's precautions again.
You know, they not only built the city walls early, but also upgraded them all to the intermediate level!
A city wall of this level can definitely withstand severe weather such as a blizzard.
Thinking of this, Liu Muxue sat behind Cao Xing and hugged his waist tightly.
Half an hour later...
Braving the wind and snow, the group finally returned to the territory.
now.
Four or five [Lighthouses] stood firm in the wind and snow, just to guide the outgoing citizens.
Looking at the light in front of them, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
This feeling is indescribable, it's like finally coming home after a day of running around outside.
For everyone, this territory is their safe haven.
Bron danced excitedly, but because of the strong wind, Cao Xing couldn't hear what he said.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the city wall.
The city gate opened wide and everyone filed in.
Returned to the territory smoothly.
The moment they returned to the territory, everyone felt that the howling cold wind suddenly decreased a lot.
The snowflakes falling all over the sky fell in the territory and were quickly melted by the heat emitted by the [Level 15 Furnace].
This seems to be a world independent of the wind and snow.
Bronn smiled and said: "Haha, our territory is still as magical as ever. This way, we don't have to worry about the threat of snowstorms!"
Everyone also nodded.
However, there is no one outside the territory now.
Because they had all hid inside the building according to Cao Xing's instructions.
Cao Xing also quickly ordered: "Elisa, take these new members and arrange a place for them to rest."
"Chuchu, go find your mother quickly, and then hide in the room and don't come out."
"Everyone else, please go back to your own room."
After hearing the order, everyone followed it and quickly dispersed.
Cao Xing also took Liu Muxue directly to the door of the lord's cabin.
"call--"
As soon as the door of the hut opened, the heat inside hit my face.
The two of them got in immediately.
Then, Cao Xing suddenly pulled the door of the lord's cabin and closed it with a bang.
In an instant, the wind and snow outside were cut off.
Cao Xing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Huh...good guy, he's finally back!"
Liu Muxue next to her also whispered: "Yes, the weather is too scary..."
I was driving in a snowstorm just now. The feeling of being confused and unable to see the way forward was almost despairing.
Coupled with the terrifying wind force, if it is blown away, the consequences will be unimaginable, making people feel insignificant in front of nature.
Even if Cao Xing is already a fourth-level expert, he has no confidence to survive in such a snowstorm.
Now, the moment I returned to the room, I felt a strong sense of security in my heart.
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
Cao Xing saw that Liu Muxue's head was covered with thick snow and looked like a hat.
And his own shoulders and head were also covered with snow.
Liu Muxue first patted the snow off her head, then stood on tiptoes and patted the snow off Cao Xing's body.
At this moment, the temperature in the room is only 8℃.
There was no way, the cold wind howling outside took away a lot of heat, and the temperature was too low.
Even if Cao Xing's lord's cabin was equipped with a stove and heating pipes, it could only barely maintain the temperature at a comfortable level.
But it's okay, after all, the temperature on his side is positive.
The other survivors were sad, as they probably had to experience the terrifying cold when they first came to this world.
Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing's cold-red hands and cheeks, and said softly: "Axing, I'm going to put in the hot water first. Can you come over and take a hot bath later?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
Liu Muxue smiled gently, then turned and entered the shower room.
"Crash..."
The sound of water kept coming.
After a while, the beauty stuck her head out and said, "Axing... the water is ready..."
"You can come here."
"good."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he walked over.
In the bath room, the steam is steaming, and there is a big wooden barrel in the middle.
This guy Da Zhuang was very considerate and even made a wooden bucket for them to use for bathing.
At this moment, the big wooden barrel was half filled with hot water, and there were a few pink petals floating on the water.
Cao Xing laughed, "Muxue, where did these petals come from?" Liu Muxue lowered her head slightly and said sheepishly: "I saw these wild flowers in the forest today. I thought these wild flowers were quite beautiful, so I picked a few. "
"Axing...let me take a bath for you..."
Her voice was soft and her cheeks were slightly red.
Cao Xing nodded, then opened his arms and allowed Liu Muxue to remove his armor.
Then, he entered the water first and instantly felt the warm water temperature, dispelling the coldness from his body.
"call……"
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Not to mention, it's so comfortable to take a hot bath on such a snowstorm day."
Hearing this, Liu Muxue next to him also had a smile on his face.
Then, she gently took off the [Ice Dragon Armor] on her body, revealing her fair skin.
And that perfect body proportion.
"Crash..."
Liu Muxue also entered the tub. She walked behind Cao Xing, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed against him tightly.
At this moment, Cao Xing only felt the warmth of hot water and the softness on his back.
"Axing...is the water temperature OK?"
"Yeah, pretty good."
"That's good……"
Then, Liu Muxue gently rubbed Cao Xing's back, caressing his chest with a pair of soft little hands.
The movements seemed a bit unfamiliar.
Liu Muxue had no experience in giving baths to others, but she was trying her best to make Cao Xing feel comfortable.
After a while.
Unconsciously or not, when Liu Muxue was giving Cao Xing a bath, her little hands gradually came to his legs.
Liu Muxue seemed to have touched something, her fair shoulders trembled slightly, and there were waves of shame in her brows.
Then, Cao Xing turned around and looked at Liu Muxue.
He found that the beauty in front of him had half of her hair wet, her head lowered, and she was embarrassed to look at Cao Xing.
Like a hibiscus emerging from water, people can't help but stare and admire it.
And Cao Xing can not only appreciate it, but also pick it...
"Muxue, let's go up there and rest."
Liu Muxue's cheeks were slightly red, and she knew what was going to happen next.
While I felt shy, I also had expectations.
He responded softly: "Well...it's all up to you..."
…
In a warm cabin.
The sound of a woman's rapid breathing kept coming.
"A Xing...A Xing..."
"Um……"
At this moment, it is snowy and windy outside.
The room was filled with the sweetness of the clouds and rain.
After a brief moment of calm, the beauty suddenly closed her eyes.
Then, like a swan raising its neck, it raised its head.
After a long and ethereal charming voice, Liu Muxue collapsed directly into Cao Xing's arms.
She said softly and feebly in a babble-like voice: "Axing... you seem to be getting more and more powerful..."
His tone was filled with unconcealable affection.
Cao Xing stroked her hair gently, and then said, "You're tired, Mu Xue, take a good rest."
The beauty's face was rosy at this time and she was obedient to Cao Xing.
"Um……"
After saying that, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
Cao Xing stared at the howling wind and snow outside the window and did not sleep immediately.
Instead, he was thinking about his next plan.
…
At night...
Just as the weather forecast said, the temperature at night reached -79°C!
This is the cruelest day that all survivors have experienced since entering this world, no less than the first day they came to this world.
Even though most people have built houses and improved their physical fitness.
But this low temperature is still unbearable.
The chat channel was filled with howls.
Zhou Yifeng: "It's cold! It's so cold! The wind is so strong that even the stove in the room has no effect!"
Shen Ying: "Yes, I burned wood directly in the room, but it's still too cold."
Shen Shiqian: "Brothers, let me teach you a way to gather all the people in the territory together and stay in one room to stay warm. This way the temperature will rise a lot. We don't have to worry so much at this time. It's important to save our lives!"
Yue Yi: "Who can give me a few quilts, or a few cotton-padded clothes? I'll spend 600 Ice Dragon Seal to buy a cotton coat, and 1,000 Ice Dragon Seal to buy a quilt. I'm going to freeze to death!"
"And me, I want to buy some quilts too!"
"Those people upstairs, don't even think about it. Who would sell such warm clothes? Besides, in this snowy day, it is difficult to even leave the lord's hut and go to the market to sell things on consignment!"
I have to say, what this person said makes sense.
The price of warm clothes remains high even in normal times.
It is normal to sell a cotton-padded jacket for 50 Ice Dragon Marks and a quilt for 100 Ice Dragon Marks.
It may not seem like much, but you must know that 100g of purple animal meat can only be sold for 100 Ice Dragon Mark.
These cotton clothes and quilts are just ordinary items of white quality. The price they can sell for is outrageous!
In this windy and snowy day, the price of these warm clothes has been increased by more than 10 times.
This makes many survivors want to take advantage of this to make a fortune.
However, they don't have enough warm clothes on their own, so they don't have any extra to sell on consignment.
Seeing the chat channel, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
He glanced at his backpack.
I still have quite a lot of various cotton clothes and fur reserves.
The last time we were in that village, more than 300 sets of cotton-padded clothes were looted. When killing the hunters, we could occasionally pick off the cotton-padded clothes from their bodies.
Plus the batch of rabbit fur processed by Xia Yanni.
There are 672 sets of cotton clothes in total.
Moreover, he also has 7 sets of cloud yak clothes that can store heat. In this world environment, they are comparable to artifacts.
Obviously, this is an extremely amazing wealth!
Cao Xing thought to himself for a moment, "Due to the snowstorm, this kind of warm clothing has been sold at a very high price, which has completely exceeded the price of purple-quality animal meat."
"The Yuncai yak clothes in my hand cannot be sold, but... those ordinary cotton clothes can be sold for about 500 sets, and I will keep the rest for my own use."
"500 sets. Even if it is sold at the price of 600 Ice Dragon Marks per set, it is estimated that many people will buy it."
"In other words, if I can sell all these cotton clothes, I can earn at least 300,000 Ice Dragon Marks!"
Cao Xing was shocked for a moment and couldn't help but be shocked by the number he calculated!
“I’ll go, this is really scary, I can exchange it for 3 gold treasure chests!”
Although these 500 sets of cotton-padded clothes sound like a lot.
But compared with a gold treasure chest, it is nothing worth mentioning.
After all, these are just some basic supplies. If converted into kroner, they would only cost a few dozen kroner at most.
However, most survivors do not have Cao Xing's opportunities and strength.
So this gives him a chance to make a fortune!
"Okay, okay, I have to take advantage of this moment to take out the cotton clothes in my hands!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the sleeping Liu Muxue and gently pulled back his arm.
Then he put his clothes back on.
At this moment, Cao Xing opened the door of the lord's cabin.
In an instant, a terrifying cold wind hit, mixed with falling snow all over the sky.
"call--"
Cao Xing noticed that there was a thick layer of snow even in his own territory.
His eyes were pale.
There was no way around it. Although the heat emitted by the [Level 15 Stove] was powerful, the amount of snowfall in the blizzard was beyond imagination.
As those people said in the chat channel.
In this kind of weather, it is difficult to walk from [Lord's Lodge] to [Market].
Cao Xing shook his head.
"But, it's just for making money, so that's okay."
So, he wrapped his Yuncai Yak coat tightly and quickly walked to the [market].
When you open the interface, a large amount of transaction information appears.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, directly clicked on the [Consignment] function.
After setting the price and consignment quantity, click Confirm directly.
The next moment, there was an additional consignment message on the market.
[Consignment items: linen and cotton clothing]
[Inventory reserve: 500]
[Items needed: A set of 600 ice dragon marks, or if you have special items, you can chat with me privately]
[Consignor: Cao Xing]
[Seller’s Note: Survivors in Area 174 can be traded first, while those from Wangjiang Pavilion are refused trade. 】
…
With most of the survivors now huddled in their lord's huts, sheltering from the howling wind and snow outside, few paid attention to the market.
So, Cao Xing mentioned in the chat channel, "Everyone, I have put a batch of cotton clothes on the shelves. If you need them, you can go to the market and check them out."
The busy late night chat channel fell into a moment of silence.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Cao Xing has spoken in the chat channel since the merger.
The survivors immediately exclaimed: "Fuck! Boss Cao Xing! Boss Cao Xing is alive!"
"Haha, I finally saw Boss Cao Xing talking. Your skills are unpredictable and you never talk in the chat channel. We thought you were an aborigine of this world."
"Yes, yes, now it seems that Boss Cao Xing is also a Blue Star survivor like us."
"Brothers, have you seen it? The boss said that a batch of cotton-padded clothes have been put on the shelves. If you need them, hurry up and grab them!"
Hearing this person's reminder, other survivors realized something.
Late at night, a large group of people rushed out of the lord's hut despite the violent wind and snow.
Then click on the market directly.
"Let me go, and there are actually 500 sets of cotton-padded clothes. As expected of Cao Xing, he can even produce so much of this kind of material at once."
"Yeah, it's just that the price is a bit expensive, it's more than ten times the usual price."
