Chapter 228 Cold, Hungry, Desperate

This is a double torture, both physically and mentally.

The black rain disaster lasted for three months.

When the black rain gradually stopped, the survivors finally walked out of the shelters, either numbly or ecstatic, grateful for having survived the disaster.

Zhang Wei and Xuelin were also feeling lucky that the damn voice of the evil god had finally disappeared and they could finally take a good rest.

However, before they could be happy for too long, Zhang Wei, who was resting, suddenly felt a chill. Xue Lin, who was sleeping next to him, was woken up by the cold and began to shiver all over.

"what happened?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then feeling the increasingly lower temperature and the extremely high concentration of foul air in the air, his face gradually became ugly.

"Could it be..."

Just when Zhang Wei thought of a possibility, bursts of terrified shouts came from outside. Zhang Wei could vaguely hear words like "the spiritual vein is polluted" and "the hot spring is destroyed".

The spiritual veins have been polluted, the hot springs have been destroyed...

Are the geothermal resources here finished?

Zhang Wei was shocked, and then quickly took Xuelin to the center of their city.

Cities in the Snow Country are often built around geothermal resources that can provide heat energy, and the size of the city depends on the amount of these geothermal resources.

Once the geothermal resources are destroyed, the people of the Snow Country will have no way to survive in this extremely cold world without sufficient heat.

Even a monk!

After all, only those in the Jindan realm can ignore the temperature of more than one hundred degrees below zero and still live normally, and most cultivators do not have that level of cultivation.

When Zhang Wei and Xue Lin arrived at the city center, they were horrified to find that the spiritual spring, which they regarded as the fountain of life, had been polluted by a large amount of black rain and dirty stones and could no longer be used!
"how so……"

A woman wearing a leather coat that had turned black due to the black rain said in horror: "We managed to survive the disaster with great difficulty, but now we are going to freeze to death here again?"

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion!"

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "There is a formation in the City Lord's Mansion. I saw it. When the black rain fell, their formation was completely blocked. They should have other spiritual springs there!"

"Yes, go to the City Lord's Mansion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became indignant and immediately headed towards the City Lord's Mansion in a mighty stream.

But Zhang Wei took Xuelin and silently left the team, then ran towards his home without looking back.

"Xiao Fan, why don't you go..."

Xuelin hesitated to speak.

"Going there would be seeking death..."

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "There is a Jindan in the City Lord's Mansion. Do you think they will give up their resources to us, the "troublemakers"?"

It seemed to verify Zhang Wei's statement.

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar and countless screams of terror came from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Wei and Xue Lin looked back and saw earth dragons dozens of feet high exploding in the distance, and countless flesh and blood debris turned into scales.

Then, another drop of sticky water fell.

A red lotus bloomed on Zhang Wei and Xuelin's faces.

Then, more and more red lotuses bloomed, and the whole world was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, in addition to the disgusting smell brought by the black rain.

It was black rain before, this time it was blood rain.

Zhang Wei brought Xuelin back to his home which was smashed by the dirty stones, and there were some human tissues scattered outside.

"vomit……"

Xuelin couldn't help but retching.

Fortunately, there was nothing in his stomach, so he didn't vomit all over the floor, and Zhang Wei didn't have to clean up.

The family is running out of food...

Moreover, the land outside had been soaked in dirty stones and black rain for three months, and all the plants had been contaminated.

However, given the physical condition of the Snow Spirits, these contaminated plants can still be eaten, but the taste will be disgusting.

Similar to Ollie Gei.

But compared to being hungry, nausea is just nausea.

But compared to running out of food, Zhang Wei was more worried about the cold...

They could still survive three days without food, but if they didn't find some heat source tonight, he and Xuelin would freeze to death that night!
But Zhang Wei has one bad news and three good news.

The good news was that he knew that the filthy stones could be burned to produce very long-lasting heat, and that there were a lot of them, all over the ground.

The bad news is that the burning of the filthy stone will produce the sound of the filthy god.

But fortunately, Zhang Wei's electromagnetic divine consciousness can break these dirty divine sounds.

"But don't let other people know."

Zhang Wei thought to himself as he looked at the survivors outside who were running back with fear on their faces.

If these people knew that I could break the sound of the evil god.

His fate would be to be imprisoned and exploited to death by these people on the verge of collapse or by the rulers of this city.

If your luck is even worse and you are bewitched by someone with ulterior motives, you might be treated as a demon and be hanged and burned to death on the spot.

"Is this also a test? What exactly is this secret trial about?"

Zhang Wei thought to himself.

At this time, some people in the Snow Country could not bear the cold anymore and began to take the initiative to light up the things around them that they could use.

Relying on magic, they successfully overcame the low temperature environment of the Snow Country, and then struggled to survive the first night after the black rain disaster.

Then the second one...

The third……

When there was nothing left to burn, someone finally tried to burn the dirty stones, and then found that the burning time and heat provided by the dirty stones were much greater than those of their furniture.

Often a small piece can keep a whole room warm for a whole day.

But during this period, a lot of foul air and polluted sounds will be produced, making people feel as if they have returned to the dark March.

But they have to use it.

Compared to the devilish sound that pierced their ears, they could not bear the cold even more.

Then the devil's sound soon resounded throughout the world again.

The price of more and more people going crazy is in exchange for more warm days.

But soon, they had to face a new problem.

food.

When the food ran out, someone finally couldn't help but look at the plants that were polluted by the black rain.

Or... the bodies of other people who froze to death.

During this period, there were people who went to the City Lord's Mansion to beg the bigwigs in the Mansion for disaster relief, but the gate of the City Lord's Mansion remained closed.

In response, they were met with a barrage of icy ice arrows.

Soft tactics didn’t work, and hard tactics were even less effective. The desperate people of the Snow Country had no choice but to place their hopes on other cities.

I hope the conditions in other cities will be better so that I can have a chance to make a living.

Then a fleeing team consisting of some monks took the lead in leaving here.

Because only they have the ability to walk safely to another city in this vast snowy land.

Soon, only some weak low-level monks and ordinary people from the Snow Country were left on the spot.

Without the suppression from the City Lord's Mansion, the evil of some people began to be released. Some low-level monks, who had some military power, gathered a group of desperate lower-class people.

Then they take them to attack the weak, use the flesh and blood of the weak to fill their own stomachs, and use other people's survival supplies to keep themselves warm, so as to increase their own survival rate as much as possible.

And speaking of their favorite "food".

None other than the Snow Spirit Tribe.

This race can reproduce offspring by consuming its own essence and can also purify itself from foul air. For many starving people in the Snow Country, it can be said to be the most perfect source of food.

After all, not all races have the powerful self-purification ability of the Snow Spirits.

Once they eat too much contaminated food or the flesh and blood of other people, they will still be contaminated by the foul air contained in them and go crazy.

So most people are still drinking poison to quench their thirst.

Only the Snow Spirits survived because of their special physical conditions.

But this brought them new disasters.

That is the malice that comes from other people.

Even though the Snow Spirit people are quite powerful, some of them were still captured and turned into "livestock".

In fact, many of those who took action were their compatriots.

At this moment, the so-called racial and class differences no longer exist, and there is only the law of the jungle.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Wei and Xuelin felt a chill all over their bodies and knew that they could not stay here any longer.

Otherwise, sooner or later, both he and Xuelin would be caught and live a life worse than death!
So one night, Zhang Wei took Xuelin and some supplies and left the city, stepping into the vast snowfield.

Three months of black rain had dyed the original snowy scenery into gray and black. Walking on the road, they could feel the stickiness under their feet, making Zhang Wei and Xuelin feel like they were trekking in a swamp.

Just like that, three days later, when the food they brought was about to run out, they finally found a cave where they could stay temporarily.

“Gu—”

A gurgling sound was heard, and Xuelin pulled Zhang Wei's sleeve pitifully and said, "Xiao Fan, do you have any food?"

Zhang Wei dug into his storage bag and pulled out a handful of gray-black corn. Xuelin's eyes lit up, and he quickly gobbled it up, completely ignoring the black rain tainted on it.

After all, the feeling of being hungry is really unpleasant, and He has long been accustomed to it.

“Gu—”

At this time, Zhang Wei's stomach growled, causing Xuelin, who was eating, to pause and then stare blankly at Zhang Wei beside him.

He suddenly remembered that Zhang Wei's meal intervals were longer than his.

Xuelin pushed the corn to Zhang Wei and said, "Xiaofan, you eat it..."

Zhang Wei did not refuse, but said: "Each of us should take half. We don't have much food left, so we should eat sparingly."

Zhang Wei ate slowly and chewed each bite carefully, as if he wanted to absorb as much nutrition as possible in this way.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Today I finally understand the meaning of hard work in every grain of rice on the plate. It is true that only when you have really experienced hunger can you understand the value of food."

At this time, Zhang Wei felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Xuelin's head on his shoulder. Under the fatigue and pressure of long-term travel and hunger, his spirit was already very weak.

Not long after leaning on Zhang Wei's shoulder, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Wei took out a piece of dirty stone, lit it with flint, used electromagnetic thoughts to remove the evil sound inside, and then watched the dirty stone burn quietly.

There is not enough food.

Should I learn from those bastards...

Zhang Wei looked at Xuelin beside him, then shook his head violently.

No, no!

I am a human being, not an animal!

And this is a trial, God knows what the criteria for the trial are.

If I fall, will I be directly judged as a failure and eliminated?
Just keep going...

And even if it was a trial, he didn't want to lose his bottom line.

But how long can this cognition last in the face of hunger?
In this way, time passed day by day, and as the food brought by Zhang Wei and Xuelin was consumed, the two of them had to leave the cave and search for daily necessities in the nearby snow-capped mountains.

But how many things can there be in this snowy mountain?

Moreover, as time went by, Zhang Wei could feel more and more traces of human activities around him. He thought that the survivors in the city could no longer bear the increasingly crazy purgatory life and went out to find a way to survive.

Although Zhang Wei and Xue Lin walked for three days, they were in the Qi Refining Stage and could not walk too far, so they were still quite close to the city they were in before. Standing on the top of the mountain, they could still hear the faint sound of the evil god coming from afar.

Until one day, when Zhang Wei was lying on the hillside looking around for prey, he suddenly found a figure moving towards him at the foot of the mountain, so he subconsciously drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the other party.

But at this moment, he heard a baby crying.

“Ugh—”

The cry made Zhang Wei pause for a moment, and he did not immediately let go of the bowstring in his hand.

But if he didn't let go, the man opposite him would not let him go.

Zhang Wei only felt a murderous intent coming at him and subconsciously turned his body sideways, but was still pierced through the shoulder by a sharp arrow.

"Well……"

Zhang Wei felt pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured the pain of the sharp arrow piercing his shoulder. He aimed the arrow at the man again, and then released the bowstring!

Whoosh————

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the figure holding the crossbow fell to the ground, with a small figure rolling out from his arms.

Zhang Wei walked over and saw that it was a woman with a haggard face, and the small figure was a baby.

At this moment, he has been frozen to death by the low temperature of the snowy land.

Zhang Wei's grip became tighter and tighter, but it eventually turned into a helpless and painful sigh.

This damn world.

After taking away all the belongings from the two men and burying them, Zhang Wei returned to the cave with an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

Zhang Wei still felt a little dizzy on the way.

I immediately cursed in my heart.

Damn, this arrow is poisonous!

Just at this time Xuelin just happened to come back with some firewood. When he saw Zhang Wei walking towards him with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, he was immediately shocked.

"Xiao Fan, what are you doing..."

Zhang Wei sat on the ground, cutting the clothes near the arrow with his Gengjin sword finger and said, "I wanted to go out hunting, but I didn't expect to be hunted by someone. But it's okay, I have already dealt with that person."

Zhang Wei cut open his clothes, revealing his shoulder that had been pierced by an arrow and had turned black. His face looked a little ugly.

The injury is quite serious...

Damn it, if it weren’t for the Snow Spirit Clan’s bodies being unsuitable for practicing Shaoyang Gong, I could have directly used Shaoyang Fire to cleanse this poison!
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Wei simply cut off his arm at the root, and then burned the area around the wound with something burning.

"Well……"

"Xiao Fan, what are you doing..."

The Xuelin people standing by were all stunned.

Zhang Wei said with cold sweat on his forehead: "I can't save this arm anymore. Keeping it will endanger my life. I might as well just cut it off and save my life!"

"I never thought that I would become a one-armed hero one day. Unfortunately, now I don't have an aunt or a big eagle." Zhang Wei picked up his arm and said with a wry smile.

Then Zhang Wei felt dizzy and leaned to the side involuntarily, and the broken arm in his hand fell to the ground again.

"Xiao Fan." Xuelin called out anxiously when he saw this.

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'll be fine after a short rest. Xuelin, I'll trouble you to keep watch for me from now on."

"Um……"

Xuelin responded, then stared at Zhang Wei as he gradually fell asleep, his eyes looking at Zhang Wei's arm that fell to the ground.

She and Zhang Wei hadn't eaten for several days. Even with the physical fitness of Qi-refining cultivators, they would feel hungry.

At this time, Zhang Wei's shoulders still gave off a faint meaty aroma due to the high temperature.

Xuelin couldn't help swallowing.

A voice seemed to ring in my ears.

Eat it.

Eat it.

Only by eating it can you survive!

Looking at the arm at his feet, Xuelin's gaze gradually became lost, and then he picked up Zhang Wei's arm as if possessed by a ghost.

With the help of the entry-level Shaoyang Gong and the Snow Spirit Clan's own powerful detoxification ability, Zhang Wei quickly woke up.

After all, the main reason for his coma was the poison in the crossbow arrow and the psychological pressure after his arm was broken.

However, as soon as he woke up, he heard bursts of chewing sounds.

Chewing sound?

Zhang Wei was shocked and quickly got up.

After seeing what happened in front of him, Zhang Wei froze in place.

"Xue Lin."

Hearing Zhang Wei's voice, Xuelin paused, and then his lost eyes gradually regained clarity.

However, after seeing clearly what he was doing, he suddenly collapsed.

"what!!!!!"

The body parts fell to the ground, and Xuelin covered his head and screamed wildly.

"No, no, no... I didn't, I didn't..."

Xuelin cried out in pain. He wanted to vomit out the blood and flesh in his mouth, but his hungry stomach would not allow him to do so.

"me……"

Xuelin cried in pain and curled up into a ball.

But Zhang Wei was very calm.

Or rather, he had anticipated it.

In such an environment, no matter how strong one's will is, one will eventually collapse. The only difference is who between him and Xuelin can't bear it first.

However, when this scene really happened before his eyes, Zhang Wei only felt endless peace in his heart.

"If this is also part of the trial, then it's really disgusting."

Zhang Wei sneered in his heart, then stood up and picked up his own limbs. He released fire magic in his hands to reheat the originally frozen flesh and blood.

Then Zhang Wei took a bite.

“I didn’t expect I smelled pretty good.”

Zhang Wei laughed at himself, then handed his hand to Xuelin and said, "Eat."

"Do not……"

Xuelin refused subconsciously, but Zhang Wei kicked him over, then rode on him and forced the roasted flesh into his mouth.

"Give it to me!"

"Well---"

While force-feeding him, Zhang Wei said, "Stay alive! Leave here alive!"
