Chapter 994: Chapter 994 Ice Queen 5
The three people quickened their pace, and after covering a certain distance, they indeed felt the snowstorm lessening.Although it was still very cold, this gave them hope, and their steps became faster and faster, pushing forward without stopping! After they had walked two to three hundred meters, the blizzard turned into a heavy snowfall typical of winter.
Continuing another two to three hundred meters, the wind weakened, the snow lessened, and the snowflakes gently drifted down, revealing the city streetscape ahead.
"Great, we’ve finally made it out!" Chang Weicai’s spirits lifted.
Brian and Ed also breathed sighs of relief in unison.
Once they escaped the terrifying snowstorm zone, their steps became lighter, and they hurried into the urban streets, successfully finding supplies.
The only difficult thing to find was soil.
Because the flowerbeds were covered in snow and ice, the soil had frozen solid, and it took the strenuous effort of all three to finally dig up a large bag.
If they were to plant flowers properly, this soil might still not be enough, but it was surely more than sufficient for sowing seeds, and they couldn’t carry any more soil anyway, because they also had to bring various pots and containers, wooden furniture for fuel, cotton mats, and in addition, Chang Weicai also carried more than a dozen bricks.
The return journey was equally tough.
The closer they got to the castle, the more the snowstorm raged, just like in a fairy tale where the Ice Queen resides, the blizzard never ends.
...
By the time they arrived at the castle, Brian specifically checked the time; two hours had passed.
That is to say, if they needed to go outside to find supplies next time, they would have to allocate two hours in advance.
Ed forcefully closed the castle’s main gate.
The gate could keep out the snowstorm, but not the biting cold. Ed’s hands were red from the cold, his toes felt numb, and his entire being seemed as though he had been soaked in an ice cave.
Brian unloaded a pile of items from his back and called out to a nearby comrade, "Eric, come help."
The cold made his teeth chatter slightly as he spoke.
Hearing the call, Eric slowly stood up, struggling to unzip his warm sleeping bag and shivering as he walked over.
Seeing his blue-tinged face, Brian couldn’t help but say, "You need to at least keep moving; this place is like a freezer, lying still without moving makes it easier to freeze to death."
Eric rubbed his arms and said, "Hurry... light the fire... it’s too cold..."
Chang Weicai was also extremely cold; he and Brian quickly unloaded their backpacks, and the bricks inside all tumbled out.
The ground was all ice, unsuitable for lighting a fire directly.
Chang Weicai laid out a layer of bricks on the ice, then placed a large stainless steel basin on top of them, put some shredded cotton fabric and thin twigs inside, and finally clicked a lighter to ignite it.
His fingers were so stiff from the cold that it took several tries to light the fire.
The tiny flame consumed the cotton, the twigs, and eventually caught on the legs of tables, chair backs, and drawer dividers, growing bigger and bigger.
The four people gathered around the fire, all eyes gleaming as they watched the flames, wishing they could dive into the fire and roll around a few times.
Finally, they felt warmth.
"The seeds..." Brian reminded them, "Let’s plant them now."
Everyone took out their flower seeds.
They were so small, it seemed like a deep breath could blow them straight into the fire.
Chang Weicai scooped out some soil from what they had brought back, carefully picking out large stones and trash mixed with the dirt, then filled his water cup lid with the soil.
The palm-sized cup lid seemed just about right for seed germination.
Seeing this, the others did the same, unscrewing their cup lids to fill them with soil, then used their fingertips to dig small holes, buried the seeds, and carefully watered them a little to maintain moisture—
Chang Weicai placed his cup lid near the fire basin, took a long breath, and said, "As long as we maintain this temperature, they should be able to germinate..."
He silently prayed in his heart.
As long as the seeds germinated and grew successfully, he would be able to bring back a sword for Weiwei...
