The weird game of the ancient gods

The snow came without warning, reminding Xia Yu of the nuclear winter described in scientific hypotheses.

The two hurriedly lit up the fire. Without enough warm clothes or good shelter, they could only rely on the fire to keep warm.

However, a biting cold wind blew in from the floor-to-ceiling windows without glass, and the fire suddenly swayed, as if it would go out at any time, and the little warm air that had accumulated was blown away in a flash.

"It's so cold! No, we can't stay here anymore! We have to move the fire inside." Longqi pointed to the private room where the two of them rested at night.

Xia Yu also trembled, but he was still somewhat rational, "No, there is no smoke exhaust passage in the private room. If we light a fire in it, we will choke to death - go to the kitchen downstairs!"

The kitchen in this hotel has the best wind protection, and there is a smoke exhaust channel, which can light a fire and protect it from the wind. The only drawback is that it is a bit messy and has a strange smell, but at this time, I can't care about that much. , the two moved most of the materials into the private room, blocked the door, and then moved a large amount of wood to the kitchen downstairs, clearing an open space for the vent, and the two lit a fire under the vent He lit the fire, then gathered around the fire and stretched out his hands to keep warm, shivering uncontrollably.

All the windows on the first floor were gone, and it was also snowing in the hall outside. From time to time, snowflakes were blown from the hall into the kitchen door by the strong wind. Fortunately, the kitchen was located at the deepest part of the first floor, which was better than the one on the second floor. The open environment is much better.

After lighting the fire, his body regained some consciousness. Xia Yu listened to the whistling wind hovering over the roof, like a ghost trumpet. This sound made Xia Yu deeply feel the atmosphere of doomsday.

The two of them kept throwing wood into the fire, trying to stay warm by the flames. The wet windbreaker exuded a wet and smelly smell in the firelight. Fortunately, the windbreaker was waterproof, but the surface was wet. It will be dried soon.

However, it was still cold. The side facing the flame was warmed, and the other side was immediately frozen. The two kept coming and turning. In the end, the two of them couldn't bear the cold anymore, so they simply huddled together, with the The cushions of an old sofa were used as backrests, and old blankets, torn tablecloths, and old clothes that had been collected were used to cover the body.

This makes it feel better.

This night the two of them endured an extremely torturous night, listening to the howling wind and smelling the unpleasant smell in the kitchen, relying on each other to survive the entire night.

After finally surviving until the next morning, Xia Yu opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the sunlight reflected outside the door and the few snowflakes that blew in from time to time, and thought that he finally got over it.

He felt that he had never been through such a difficult time in his life. After pushing the dragon knight beside him, Xia Yu stood up with difficulty, moved his somewhat stiff body, and walked towards the door. Except for the door to the meal, Xia Yu suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning (literally air-conditioning) as soon as he walked out.

All he saw was a vast gray space between the sky and the earth. The entire city was covered in gray-white snow, bleak and dead. The sun in the sky emitted vague light through the clouds, which dazzled Xia Yu. A gust of wind blew, and the biting cold... The wind was like a knife. It hurt people's faces and made their bodies feel cold instantly.

The two stayed together for only a few minutes before they had to retreat to the fire.

Both of them were hungry. Xia Yu took out a few pieces of potatoes and roasted them on the fire. Eating something must make the body warmer. This kind of tuber food is rich in starch and should be able to provide a lot of calories. In this cold weather, Just right to eat.

While roasting potatoes, the two discussed their next plan.

The dragon knight complained, "How can this blind man find food? I don't know whether the lake is frozen or not. Even if it is not frozen, I don't dare to go there. The mice probably won't show up anymore. How about we just wait for two days?" Are you going out when the weather gets warmer?"

Xia Yu shook his head, "It can't be warm. Have you heard of the nuclear winter theory?"

Longqi said: "Of course I have heard of it. Are you saying that we are encountering a nuclear winter now? It can't be such a coincidence."

The Nuclear Winter Hypothesis is a theory about global climate change that predicts the climate catastrophe that would result from a large-scale nuclear war.

The nuclear winter theory holds that when a large number of nuclear weapons are used, especially against flammable targets such as cities, a large amount of smoke and soot will enter the earth's atmosphere, which may lead to very cold weather.

Xia Yu nodded, "Yes, although there may be differences, what we are encountering now may be nuclear winter. Even if it is not nuclear winter, it is an environmental change caused by the impact of nuclear war. Have you noticed the sun? Since entering the game, there has never been a particularly bright and sunny weather. Even after it snowed, the sky is still gray, indicating that there are a large number of dust particles suspended in the atmosphere above the clouds, so the climate will only get colder. .”

"Even from a game perspective, it won't get warmer. In general, the difficulty in survival games will only get higher and higher. It will never go up and then suddenly drop down, so it probably won't get warmer in the future. , will continue to remain cold, and there may even be more severe weather changes."

Longqi felt dizzy after hearing this, "It sounds really disappointing. Fortunately, this is not our world, we are just here for tourism," but he immediately comforted himself, "But it doesn't matter, it's hard for others here. It must be difficult, at least we still have some food reserves, and those with less food will not be able to survive. Maybe someone will be unable to hold on and quit the game in a day or two."

Xia Yuxin said that's enough. After all, starving and freezing in the game are just suffering. As long as you are careful, you won't lose your life. However, if you lose the game, you will have to draw the hell card, which makes no one want to be the first to leave.

If there is the first person to quit, then things will be simpler. As long as it is not a hell card, many people should still be able to accept it, and they may quit because they can't bear it.

Bai Ye said before that Xuanniiao had quit the game. If it was true, it would really give everyone a step down.

But Xia Yu didn't believe this was true. Although they hadn't known each other for too long, Xuanniao didn't strike him as the kind of person who would give up easily for fear of hardship. He was more inclined to Bai Ye's second statement later. Bird might actually have gone outside the map and gone on an adventure alone.

At this time, a smell came, but the potatoes were roasted.

The two of them took two potatoes each, and Xia Yu conjured up two bowls of clam soup. The two of them ate the potatoes with the soup.

This thing is obviously not a real potato. At least it tastes very different from the potatoes Xia Yu has eaten. It has a dry and bitter taste. Fortunately, it comes with clam soup, otherwise it would be really painful to eat.

As soon as the food was in my stomach, my body immediately warmed up, and with something in my stomach, I felt like my body was alive again.

"Let's take care of the heating problem first, get some more clothes, and then get some wood back."

Longqi nodded, but the two of them did not dare to go out rashly, as it was indeed too cold outside.

Secondly, now that the weather has suddenly become so cold, the lake surface will probably freeze over, and the mice will probably not show their heads easily.

That means that everyone will face food shortages in the future. The two of them still have a little advantage because they just changed the food and can last for a few days. Overlord is also okay, and the meat at home is Some are, but others may not be so happy.

Originally, everyone still had some food, but after being deceived by the two of them, there was probably not much left. If there was no income, they would probably have the idea of ​​taking risks.

Therefore, Xia Yu had another layer of worry. Since he had considered stealing other people's food when he had nothing to eat, other people must have similar thoughts.

Xia Yu said, "These foods will be the key to us winning the game, so we must not leave them alone. From now on, either we take turns guarding them, or we simply carry them with us and never leave them."
