Chapter 690: Freezing

"Isn't it very hot today? Why turn on the air conditioner? And hit the temperature so low? Yi Li's voice appeared behind Lu Chao.

"The temperature is ......" Lu Chao was a little flustered.

It took him a moment to come to his senses.

Ellie was obviously in a daze, thinking that the air conditioner in the house was blowing cold air, causing the temperature in the room to be very low.

"Look outside, it's snowing." Lu Chao walked to the window, opened the curtains, pointed outside and let Yili take a look.

"Ah......h

"Here's the thing......" Lu Chao knew that he couldn't hide it from Yili, so he had to tell Yili about his and Yaya's previous experiences.

"You're saying we've been kidnapped here? That...... Where can I buy groceries? "Ellie had a very real question in mind.

Ellie usually goes out to buy groceries once every two to three days.

Yesterday she just emptied the refrigerator, and this morning she got up early in the morning to go out to buy groceries, but she didn't expect it to become like this outside.

"How much food is left at home?" Lu Chao asked Yi Li an important question.

On weekdays, Yili is in charge of all the food and other purchases at home, and Lu Chao doesn't pay much attention to it.

"At home...... There is only half a bag of rice left, and a small half bag of flour, and there is probably a bag of ribs and a bag of meat in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Ellie walked over and checked.

The situation is dire.

The food at home is only enough for a family of three for two days at most.

Once the half bag of rice, the small half bag of flour, and the ribs and meat were eaten, the family of three was going to starve.

The most important thing is that Yaya's milk powder is only half a can left!

"Could it be that I have to play this survival game all the time?" Lu Chao couldn't laugh or cry.

After going through so much, I didn't expect everything to go back to square one.

Or rather, worse than the origin.

You can't just watch Eli and Yaya starve to death, right?

……

When Yi Li was busy with breakfast, Lu Chao rummaged through all his winter clothes and put them on his body.

Hats and masks were also worn.

"What are you going to do?" Yili found that Lu Chao was about to go out, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed him.

"I'll go out and take a look outside, and maybe I'll find something to eat." Lu Chao replied to Yili.

"No! What if you freeze to death outside? What should I do if I get lost outside? "Yili didn't allow Lu Chao to go out.

"If I don't go out, our family of three will starve to death." Lu Chao replied to Yi Li helplessly.

"Even if a family of three starves to death, they will die together, and I can't let you go out and risk alone." Ellie was persistent.

Lu Chao had no choice but to give up his plan to go out for the time being.

……

At noon, the snow stopped in the air.

Yaya was about to take a nap, and Lu Chao and Yili changed her diapers and put her back on the bed.

Back in the hall outside, Lu Chao once again proposed to Yili that he wanted to go out to explore.

"I only move around within two meters of the house to see if I can dig up some food or something under the snow. If you feel very cold and can't hold on, go home immediately. Lu Chao assured Yili.

Yi Li finally agreed, but asked Lu Chao not to leave the door two meters away.

She will look at Lu Chao in the cat's eyes and open the door for Lu Chao at any time.

After everything was ready, Lu Chao wore thick clothes, a hat, a mask and gloves, and went out with a shovel.

After going out, Lu Chao looked around.

There was snow everywhere.

It was snow-white as far as the eye could see, and there was no other color at all.

In order to find out how low the temperature outside was, Lu Chao brought a bottle of hot water with him when he went out of the door.

In less than ten seconds, the hot water was all frozen.

Lu Chao felt that it was indeed cold.

He didn't dare to waste time, so he quickly picked up a shovel and shoveled it on the ground.

There wasn't much floating snow on the ground, and it was quickly shoveled into the solid ice below.

The ice can't be shoveled at all.

It looks like it's impossible to shovel out a piece of ground.

Perhaps this wilderness is located on a huge stretch of ice.

Before he was about to be frozen, Lu Chao returned to the house.

Yili didn't ask anything, she saw everything Lu Chao did in the cat's eyes, and knew that he had found nothing.

……

Snow began to fall again in the afternoon.

Lu Chao didn't go out.

The next day, Lu Chao went out twice more, and even climbed to the roof of the house to look around, but still found nothing.

It was too cold outside to dare to go too far.

Otherwise, you will soon be frozen in the snow.

"The wilderness can't be unsolvable, it can't just starve us to death, there must be some way."

"Something must have been overlooked."

Lu Chao thought about it repeatedly.

By the way, when the Frost Queen finally disappeared, she said that she had left him a gift.

What gift?

This snowy field?

Or maybe it's a gift that will help him survive in the snow?

The question is, where is the gift?

On the third day, Lu Chao walked a little farther.

Still nothing.

On the sixth day, the family ran out of food.

"If I freeze to death outside, you cut off my flesh and feed it to the maid, so that she can't starve." Before Lu Chao went out, he whispered a few words to Yili.

"What nonsense? You can't do that if you starve to death as a family! Yili cried, she was worried that Lu Chao would mess around and really freeze to death outside, and after listening to Lu Chao say these few words, she said nothing and didn't let him go out.

Lu Chao wasn't just joking, these days he and Yi Li only ate a little bit of food every day, and they were already so hungry that they had no strength, and if they went out again, he suspected that he would faint in the snow outside, and he didn't have the strength to walk back at all.

Is it really all the family can do here and wait for death?

Yili didn't let Lu Chao go out, and in desperation, Lu Chao turned on the computer.

Maybe the codeword can calm him down.

There's nothing to write about, just record the last few days.

Just as I was about to open the writing software, a treasure chest suddenly popped up on the computer screen.

Lu Chao subconsciously clicked on the treasure chest with his mouse.

"You've got a piece of food."

A line of prompts pops up on the computer screen.

At the same time, the treasure chest in the computer screen is opened.

A pot of hot chicken soup with potatoes and radishes in addition to chicken.

There were also several large bowls of hot rice, which appeared on the computer screen together.

"Is this a gift from the Frost Queen? The question is...... How do I get it out of my computer? ”

Lu Chao swallowed his saliva and kept clicking on the food inside with his mouse.

The food inside did not appear in the room.

But another line of prompts popped up on the computer screen.

"Want to get these foods? You'll have to complete the next tasks first. ”

"This mission will be life-threatening, are you willing to take it?"
