The snowstorm that seemed to never stop covered the entire sky and the entire world.
The howling wind kept blowing the snow like waves, sweeping it into the air and scattering it on the ground.
Almost all the shelters were covered by snow, and the nearly three-meter-tall snow harvested all life.
Although it was already daytime, there was no difference between night and day in this snowstorm.
Lin Yue's shelter was still the same.
In the steel plate fireplace, the firewood was burning brightly, maintaining a high temperature in the entire shelter.
After Lin Yue woke up from the wooden bed in the basement, he touched a stick-like object in a daze, instantly waking him up.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when the thing let out a puji sound.
"Xiaobai, why are you here?"
"Puji." Xiaobai replied lazily. Lin Yue grabbed it and placed it on his shoulder as he climbed up the stairs.
He had burned too much firewood last night. After waking up from the heat in the middle of the night, he ran to the basement to cool down.
This basement was originally used as a warehouse. It was usually extremely cool, and the temperature was several degrees lower than above.
In order to have a good rest, he made a new wooden bed and put the sleeping mat on it. It was indeed much more comfortable and cool.
He woke up naturally, and without a torch to mark time like before, he did not know what time it was.
"It's dawn?" Lin Yue took out the wooden ladder and wiped the window on the roof. It was indeed daytime.
The snow was still falling. It was no different from yesterday. The only difference was the snow wall that was more than two meters away from the shelter.
The snow wall was already higher than the roof and was continuing to accumulate.
He put on his flight pants and wooden armor and went to the roof with the iron spear.
There was still no snow on the roof, and the falling snow quickly turned into water droplets.
Lin Yue looked down from the roof and realized that there were no more mutated creatures around the shelter like yesterday.
Did they… freeze to death?
After circling the roof and finding nothing, Lin Yue returned to the room and pushed open the stone door.
Other than the angry roar of the wind, there was nothing else.
It was as if he was the only one in this world.
He lowered his head as much as possible to prevent the snow from falling on his face. He first resolved his private matter, and made eight traps. After placing them around the shelter, he returned inside.
There was nothing to explore outside. Moreover, in the snowstorm, vision and hearing were greatly restricted. As an ordinary person, he did not have the spirit to clear the snow with a shovel to search for mutated creatures.
Of course, that secret realm was a good place, but because of this disaster, it was closed for 48 hours.
Although it was to prevent the survivors from cheating and hiding inside, it was one less opportunity for Lin Yue to plunder.
"How long do I have to wait?"
Lin Yue yawned as he took off his clothes other than his underwear. He opened the group chat.
It was safe outside for the time being, and he did not feel much pressure. He might as well take a look at the group chat for now and prepare breakfast later.
He checked the announcement panel first which told him that eleven hours had passed since the disaster began!
Good lord, he had really woken up naturally.
He had slept too late last night. In addition, he had studied the things Du Ping wanted to trade for a long time.
After using 5kg of mutated mutton and 1L of water, Lin Yue had exchanged for several good things.
Rotor, cover, and power controller.
Among these three, two were necessary for the generator, and the power controller was required by the elementary exoskeleton.
Although the price was higher than before, Lin Yue was slowly gathering what he wanted.
After connecting the rotor and cover to the previous stator and bearing, the only thing he needed to find was the terminal block that was one of the most important components of the generator.
As for the mountain bike blueprint that Du Ping wanted to exchange for 3L water, after some bargaining, Lin Yue finally bought it for 2L water.
After doing all these yesterday, he fell asleep at some point in time and even forgot about the snowstorm.
After all, the snowstorm was not a problem for him.
He yawned and looked at the group chat.
"Oh, I'm not dead yet, but is it an illusion? I don't think I can feel my legs anymore?"
"I suddenly realized that it's not that cold anymore. Thank you, Lin Yue, for selling the torches! However, at the same time, I look down on those profiteers who got the torches then resold them at a profit! Are you still human?!"
"Fortunately, Lin Yue sold a lot of water and food. Otherwise, many of us would have died! Lin Yue, you have obtained my approval."
"Does the boss need your approval? Who do you think you are? Speaking of which, God Lin, are you still selling mutton? It's too delicious."
"What was Lin Yue's profession? Special forces? That score is too exaggerated!"
"Yes, his score is actually the highest! Is there a mistake? I always thought that Du Ping would be first, but he was fourth."
"If I had water, I could do it too! If Lin Yue did not have water, he would not be much better off than us!"
"Ah, right, right."
"I saw myself in the 1,985th place. Is the difference that big? No, what's the evaluation standard?"
"Lin Yue's score is three times that of the second place, fifteen times higher than mine! He must be cheating!"
...
Lin Yue suddenly realized that the entire group was discussing him, not the snowstorm.
Although there was this trend before, it was not as concentrated as now.
The reason why they were like this was also because of the so-called points.
He opened the points ranking panel.
1. Lin Yue 1095 points
2. Cork Brown 338 points
3. Berg 299 points
4. Du Ping 297 points
...
Ah…
Why is my score so high? How did the system evaluate me?
However, being able to reach first place in this group was worth celebrating.
Just as he was about to click on the detailed composition of the points in the ranking, Lin Yue's stomach rumbled.
Even Xiaobai kept looking at his stomach.
Alright, it seemed like he had to resolve this problem first.
As for the points, let's look at it later.
He took out the stone stove and started a fire. He put the wok on it and boiled water. He took out the bacon that he had not eaten yet and cut it into eight slices with the dagger. After putting the instant noodles into the wok, he made a cup of coffee and took out the remaining apple.
Splitting the apple with his bare hands, he handed half of it to the dazed Xiaobai. He then prepared the cutlery and poured the instant noodles into the bowl.
A perfect breakfast.
