Lu Ning squatted in the tent wrapped in the quilt and glanced at the sky worriedly.

The clouds are sinking more and more. Although there has been no snow in the past few days, the increasingly strong cold wind swept across the mountains, blowing up the snow everywhere like haze, and it was impossible to see anything from ten meters away.

However, even in this weather, Lu Ning had to brave the strong wind and snow haze to get out of the camp.

The sudden drop in temperature and the stronger winds caused the firewood to be consumed much faster than expected, and Lu Ning had to continue to go out to chop wood.

It's been a tough journey. Not only did the wind and snow obscure his vision, but the flying ice and dead leaves made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

If it weren't for Lu Ning's unusually familiar with this road, I'm afraid that he would get lost directly if he didn't walk halfway.

This time, Lu Ning did not have a moment of rest from morning to night, and walked back and forth from the camp to the giant forest five times, harvesting more than twice as much as usual, but the physical energy consumed also more than quadrupled.

"And that's just the beginning......"

Lu Ning knew that he was far from the time when he could rest.

Winter has been going on for so long, and I don't know when this snowstorm will end, and the days that follow will be more and more difficult with each passing day.

Therefore, he had to prepare as best he could at the very beginning, before all the calamities had completely struck.

"If the wind and snow are going to be bigger in the future, I'm afraid this small tent won't be able to stop it...... Gotta find a way to fortify it, even...... Maybe you can use the method of pottery to build a fence out, maybe it can play a role in blocking the wind.

"And campfires. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the flint and steel have run out again, so we must not let the fire go out, and we must also prepare for it. ”

Lu Ning turned his brain, sorting out what he needed to do one by one.

"I have learned almost the methods of finding and firing clay recorded in the book, but I have not practiced it yet, and I don't have much time to accumulate experience now, so I can only hope that after staying in this place for so long, my hands-on ability has improved significantly enough.

"Finally, the food. Well, don't worry too much about this, these days hunting and farming have accumulated a lot of food, especially the green potatoes harvested from farming, it shouldn't be a problem to survive for more than half a month. I'll go and collect another wave in two days, and it's estimated that it's enough to eat next. ”

Lu Ning wrote down his goals one by one on the snow with a tree branch, and his originally somewhat depressed and worried mood was reinvigorated.

There's a lot more that can be done.

This is followed by the usual distribution time.

When the arrival of the blizzard was announced yesterday, the ghost clearly mentioned the change of the manufacturing list, so Lu Ning was very much looking forward to it.

"Data restructuring is in progress.

"Special aid has been issued to the captain: drawings of the charcoal (black) manufacturing process, please check it.

"The next aid is being manufactured in an accelerated manner, and the estimated completion time: 24 hours, please be patient." ”

"Charcoal?"

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, extremely surprised.

Taking the drawings from the pillar of light, Lu Ning read the drawings and words recorded on the drawings hungrily.

Charcoal is also a fuel with a long history.

Charcoal has many advantages over ordinary firewood.

Due to its loose and porous structure, as well as the removal of water and impurities during the firing process, charcoal will be easier to ignite, and burn more fully, with less choking soot and safer.

In addition to being used for burning, charcoal has many other uses. As long as it is used properly, even ordinary charcoal can do many tasks such as antiseptic, deodorization, and water purification.

Of course, charcoal is also divided into many categories and grades, but those high-grade charcoal have higher requirements for raw materials and manufacturing processes, and this drawing in Lu Ning's hand only records the method of making the lowest grade "black charcoal".

"First of all, you need a clay kiln that can burn charcoal, huh...... I'm afraid it's too late to make one, but you can simply dig a stone kiln out of the cliff in the southwest.

"And the clay can be mined over there, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Lu Ning looked at the drawings and quickly had an idea.

Anyway, now that it's dark, I can't go out, so it's better to start working now - Lu Ning immediately slapped his thigh and got up, carrying a stone shovel and various tools.

The cold wave comes from the north, and the wind direction is also mostly northerly. The southwest of this mountain peak is relatively gentle, staggered, and there are cliffs in the north, which can be said to be a natural haven.

As mentioned before, Lu Ning's new cultivated field was opened up here—and now he planned to carve out another place for people to live on the cliff one layer below the cultivated field.

The first thing is to dig a large enough gap into the interior of the cliff wall.

The soil here is soft and rich in moisture, but it is also very solid due to the low temperatures.

Lu Ning set up a new campfire here, and let the flames roast the cliff and thaw, and soon loosened to the point that it could be pryed by a stone shovel and a stone pickaxe.

Lu Ning waved his shovel and stone pickaxe and immediately started work, and the excavated dirt and rocks were thrown directly backwards and thrown down the cliff.

He worked almost non-stop for half the night, until the ghost told him it was 5 o'clock in the morning, and he returned to the tent in a groggy state.

Before he went to bed, there was only one sentence left in his head:

Have you ever seen the sun at 5 o'clock in the morning in another world?

Oh, I haven't seen it either—because it's as cloudy as the bottom of the pot, and you can't see the sun.

I didn't sleep long. Lu Ning woke up at half past eight in the morning, got up, and took a handful of snow paste on his face to refresh himself.

"Hiss......"

Lu Ning was thrilled by the snow in his hand, and then he realized-

The cold wave is coming.

Although the campfire not far away was raging, and Lu Ning was wearing thick fur clothes, he clearly felt the cold air around him seeping into his clothes, making him shiver.

Normally birds would have flown in the sky, but today there was a dead silence in the whole world, and there was no life except for the howling cold wind and the sound of its whimpering as it blew through the mountains.

"Ghost, how hot is it now?"

"Twenty-seven degrees below zero, Captain."

The ghost's answer confirms this.

In just one night, the temperature plummeted by a full seven degrees, and it was no wonder that it was so noticeable.

The cold spell has officially arrived in the area, and according to the ghost's prediction, there will be further cooling in the future.

Forget it, don't think about those annoying things for a while, just follow the plan.

I had been doing physical work until 5 o'clock last night before going to bed, and Lu Ning was very hungry now, so he put his worries behind him and wanted to take something to roast and eat.

And when Lu Ning came to the place where the food was stored next to the firewood stack, he was stunned to find that the green potatoes, spicy grass fruits and various vegetables piled up on the ground were all over the surface at this time, and the skin was a gray color, and the large pieces of the parts had been blackened and rotted.

Lu Ning didn't have time to think about anything else, and hurriedly rushed to his small vegetable garden to check the situation.

And here, too, it's a mess.
