Chapter 33: Winter is Coming
After all, the power of magic could hardly compete with natural disasters of this magnitude, and the missing fragments still fell into the forest, smashing into dense small pits, and many demonic beasts were killed and injured as a result.
The village where the two men were fortunate not to be affected, and could only hear the faint sound of a thump in the forest.
After the threat of the meteorite was eliminated, the compound circle in the direction of De'er City gradually disappeared, becoming a brief memory for the two of them.
In the face of the meteorite, it didn't die, which made the two people who escaped death a little trance, which is really weird!
Is the end only of this degree?
……
The meteorite had washed away the clouds, and the sky higher up was still gray, and the two of them took their cloaks and the clothes they had left in the corner while washing their bodies.
After the clothes dried, the corrosive damage caused by the black rain disappeared.
The two got dressed and walked to the hut where they had been staying, retrieving the supplies they hadn't had time to take with them.
Taking a trap totem that he had made before and not taking it away, Xiang En walked to the entrance of the village.
The trap totem that originally stood at the entrance of the village had been standing for more than 12 hours, and the totem that had lost its magic power was like a fragile item that had lost its luster, and it shattered when touched, and he threw it aside and replaced it with a new trap totem.
After inserting the new trap totem, Xiang En looked at the vegetable garden at the entrance of the village, where the corpses of the villagers were buried. Now that I think about it, what should the village chief and the villagers know about it, and they know that the end is coming, so they commit suicide by poisoning in despair, right?
The wind was blowing fiercely, and Xiang En remembered the deceased, and then raised his head to look at the sky that was not getting better.
The current calm made him more and more uneasy, but maybe it was just because the scene did not meet psychological expectations, and he always felt that there were severe tests waiting for the two of them.
Whew?
There was a whistling sound behind his head, and Xiang En turned to look, and saw that the sky in the distance was dyed red by firelight, and a meteorite smaller than the one just now fell from the sky, and then was shattered by several arcane attacks rising from the direction of Graystone City.
That's really ...... There's a tall guy in front of you!
Shaking his head, Xiang En turned around and returned to the interior of the village, and then met Andrea, who was frowning, and got a not-so-good news.
"The well water has turned black......
"Well, it's okay, I can fix it."
Xiang En had long expected that the well water would be polluted, but fortunately every household in the village had a water tank, and the water in it should be clean enough for them to drink for a while.
After that, you can leave it to time to precipitate, and if you can't purify it naturally, you can try other purification methods.
For example, distillation, or tinkering with some simple filtration devices to purify the water source, there are always more ways than difficulties.
In short, there is no need to worry about the problem of water sources, even the problem of food, Xiang En is not too worried, the man who can produce and sell himself is so confident, it is just more difficult.
Hearing Xiang En say this, Andrea felt relieved, and then remembered the contact just now, and blushed.
Are you blushing with a hammer?
Xiang En said no more, and took Andrea to the alchemist's hut, which was the room with a basement.
That room had a lot of drains because it had a basement, the floor was drier than the other houses, and the moisture was not as heavy.
At night, apart from the sporadic giant meteorites that were intercepted by magic, the end seemed to be just a rain that was not simple.
In a place where there are no people, there may be a meteorite hitting the earth, but in the province of Deair, the city of De'air and the city of Graystone, which are located in the two central points, will be intercepted by the meteorite that fell on the province of Deair.
When the planet turned in one direction, there was no major movement in the province of De'er at night.
In the kitchen, Xiang En and Andrea sat facing each other on chairs, quietly eating the bread and dried meat soup in their hands.
Thanks to Xiang En, who is a native of China, has a habit of stockpiling goods rooted in his soul, and in the month of improving his strength, the prey that he can't eat is basically smoked into jerky by him, and by the way, he also harvests a round of potatoes from the villagers, which keeps them from starving now.
Chewing on the bread that tasted neither salty nor light in her mouth, the slightest sweetness made Andrea glad to meet Xiang En again, this kind of precautionary thinking is really not for everyone, even she has developed a bad habit of spending all the money after leaving the academy.
Xiang Eun ate the food, his eyes staring at the wooden bowl, his mind thinking about how to evacuate, how to keep himself and Andrea alive.
Thinking back to that vague memory of surfing the web, he wondered how to build shelters and survive in the apocalypse, and how to do soilless irrigation......
Just think of a reference, there is no engineering technology here, but there is alchemy technology, some ideas from previous lives cannot be made in this world, but some ideas can be realized through magic.
Filling her stomach while thinking, Xiang En frowned the whole time, which also made Andrea dare not disturb rashly.
Using bread as a rag to wipe off food debris from bowls and pans and stuffing it into your stomach is considered a day.
Leaning back in his chair, Xiang En finally stopped frowning, but the worry was still fermenting.
Seeing him like this, Andrea extinguished the idea of looking for him to cultivate feelings, and even felt that she was a little selfish and useless.
But she was really not very good at thinking about overly complicated issues, so she could only silently take away the empty bowls on the table that were somewhat eye-catching.
After coming back, Xiang En had already stood by the window, looking at the sky outside the window, silent.
The cold wind poured into the house, and Andrea couldn't help but squeeze her hand, walked to Xiang En's side, and looked at his side face in a daze.
"The weather ......" Xiang En took a deep breath of the slightly sour air outside the house, and said heavily: "The weather is about to turn cold, and it's almost winter, right?" ”
Yes, winter is coming.
It was the summer of this world when he left De'er City, and he had just left the academy for two months, and when Xiang En found Andrea, it was already autumn.
Xiang En remembers that the farmers harvested the wheat in advance, and soon after, the clean-up operation was ushered in, followed by two months of travel and living in the village, and after all the events, it was already approaching winter.
Although he didn't know much about issues such as climate change, Xiang En knew that there must be places that the mages couldn't take care of would be hit by meteorites, and the chain reaction caused by meteorite falls would definitely affect this winter.
What the future will be like, Xiang En shuddered just thinking about it, but right now he was more afraid of the demonic beasts in the forest that needed to hibernate, and they would continue to hunt for food and raise themselves to be fat and fat.
And those animals that drink polluted water should go crazy, right?
He had also been preparing to leave the province of De El in the last month of autumn and spend the winter in Andrea's hometown.
Anyway, the two are also lifelong friends, and it should be no problem to come to Andrea for a soft meal.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes......
Now that they are back in the village, they must seriously think about how to survive this winter.
Winter!
Before winter, Xiang En felt a significant drop in temperature.
The food is easy to solve, but the water can't last up to the winter.
In his expectations, the leaky wooden house would most likely not be able to withstand this winter, and besides, he was a southerner, and without the constant temperature magic in De'er City, he was estimated to be shivering with cold.
