Chapter 277: Reduction of Personnel, Logging Hut

Inside the tent, the temperature gradually dropped.

This tent has pretty good insulation.

However, in the event of a loss of heat source, there is still no way to avoid temperature loss.

Everyone gathered around the mysterious egg, using its weak temperature to keep warm.

This weak temperature is far from enough for players.

Their faces turned pale and their lips turned blue, looking like they were about to freeze to death.

Su Ming himself was not feeling well either. His whole body was cold, and it seemed as if his blood was about to solidify.

However, he has a solid foundation and can hold on for the time being.

It's really uncomfortable to be freezing like this.

It took more than ten hours before the fog completely dissipated.

Zhan Shen’s lips turned pale and his voice was trembling: “Finally…Finally the fog is gone…”

Su Ming stood up and stretched his muscles: "Let's go."

The players who were sleeping in the tent were woken up by those who were still awake.

However, there were two players who did not respond no matter how they were called.

When we walked in to check, we found that he had been frozen to death in his sleep.

For the first time, the twelve players from Lucheng who entered the dungeon suffered casualties.

Moreover, this death meant two deaths.

Looking at the bodies of their two companions, the remaining players couldn't help but feel sad.

In this endless snowfield, the next person to fall might be me.

Su Ming said, "Dig a hole in the snow and bury the person."

"We have life-saving items. The person is not completely dead. We can see him again after we leave the dungeon."

There was nothing he could do about this situation.

He could only try his best to lead them forward and try his best to take them to the end.

If someone in the middle couldn't hold on, there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Tieshu: "Indeed, the person is not dead yet."

Zhan Shen: "Lao Wang and Gou Zi also got two horror props each, so it's not too bad to leave now."

"Let's bury them quickly and then continue on our way."

The surviving players began to get busy.

Dragging their stiff bodies, they each did their job.

Some were packing up their tents, while others were digging holes in the snow to bury the bodies.

They were very efficient and got everything done in just ten minutes.

A grave was erected in the snow.

There are a few big words written in front - Lucheng players Lao Wang and Gou Zi are hibernating here.

This small grave mound may soon be buried by the heavy snow behind.

Also, they weren't really dead.

But the sense of ritual should still be maintained.

Then, he took a brief look around.

I found that from time to time there were places with one or two pieces of equipment scattered on the snow.

There is a long sword with a cold glow.

[Northern Ice Empire Ice Front Standard Longsword (Perfect Grade): A longsword used by the elite warriors of the Northern Ice Empire, which is both sturdy and sharp and has good conductivity for some special energies.]

[South Ice Empire SSS-grade standard longsword (perfect grade): A longsword carefully crafted by the South Ice Empire's sword-making department. Each sword has gone through eighteen quality inspection processes and has good conductivity for some special energies.]

After all, they are weapons of extraordinary people, and the quality of these swords is quite good.

In horror copies, various precious weapons are not uncommon.

However, it is very rare to be able to be taken out as a horror prop.

Zhan Shen held a long sword of the Northern Ice Empire in his hand, observed it for a while, and said with emotion: "This sword is no worse than my black knife!"

His black knife was a treasure that he bought from an item merchant at a huge price in a certain dungeon.

Later, I found an opportunity to strengthen the black knife.

Even so, it seems not as good as the long sword in front of him.

These swords were divided among Su Ming and his group.

Everyone gets one or two.

Among them, Su Ming took a long sword from the Northern Ice Empire and a long sword from the Southern Ice Empire.

Who knows, it might come in handy someday!
Even if you can't use it, it's nice to keep it as a souvenir.

Zhang Tieshu felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that I only have a long sword. It would be better if I had a set of armor like those warriors."

This was another rich harvest, which made the sadness of losing two companions lessened.

Su Ming looked at the sun in the sky from time to time, constantly adjusting his direction.

Finally, a hint of black appeared in the world full of white.

This discovery made all the players extremely excited.

"what is that??"

"Oh my god! Finally a different color appeared!!"

"Quick! Let's go there quickly!"

"This white world is almost making me vomit!"

"That looks like... a forest?"

"Great! We can replenish our firewood here!"

……

After having a goal, everyone's pace suddenly quickened a lot.

As they approached, the appearance of the black area became apparent.

It was a dark pine forest.

In front of the pine forest, there is a small wooden house, and next to the cabin, there is a fenced yard.

In the yard, whole logs of black wood were stacked.

Zhang Tieshu: "Is this a small logging site?"

"It doesn't look abandoned yet. Could it be that there are still people living here?"

Su Ming: "Let's go and visit the owner of this place."

He walked to the front, toward the cabin.

dong dong dong-

Come to the door and knock gently.

After a while, the wooden door was opened.

The person who opened the door was an old man with a pipe in his mouth.

The players could tell at a glance that this was the old man Zhang who had sponsored them with supplies before.

The old man looked at them and said, "Wow~ So many people?"

"This is really a rare thing. There haven't been tourists here for a long time."

"Come on, come on, everyone, please come in."

Seeing that the other party acted as if they had never seen them before.

The players all felt a little confused.

Could it be that the person in front of me is the twin brother of the old man Zhang?

That's why they look so similar.

After seeing Su Ming follow in, they also followed him into the cabin.

Feeling the temperature in the room, his pale skin soon turned rosy.

He added two black logs to the stove in the middle of the cabin.

Then, place an iron kettle filled with water on the stove.

Then, he said, "Welcome all the brave climbers to my cabin. I'm the lumberjack here, you can just call me Lao Zhang."

His last name is also Zhang?

Su Ming said, "Hello, Lao Zhang! We are members of the Snow Mountaineering Team. Our goal this time is to conquer this snowy mountain!"

"I've heard of your logging hut for a long time. It's a key supply station for many mountaineering teams!"

Old man Zhang chuckled and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"I didn't expect that my little house would become so famous!"

Su Ming: "Of course not!"

"Any team that comes here to climb the snow-capped mountains must pass by here, right?"

Old Man Zhang sighed: "Well, come to think of it, it's been a while since a mountaineering team came here."

“I don’t know if this snow mountain is out of date or what.”

"I remember there were quite a lot of people climbing here before..."

The players just watched as Su Ming and Old Man Zhang started chatting.

They had a very pleasant chat, as if they had met each other too late.

There was no mention at all that the old man Zhang in front of him looked exactly like the old man Zhang before.

Since Su Ming didn't ask, they didn't dare to ask.

Afraid of breaking a taboo and ruining Su Ming's business.
