Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Lin Xiao glanced at the description of the sacrificial lantern again.

[Sacrifice Lantern: Tier 2, hung at the entrance, it can dispel the fog within a 5-meter radius centered on the thatched hut at night, and also inflict minor sacrifice damage on hostile creatures within a 2-meter radius of the thatched hut.]

[Minor Burn: Reduces the opponent's stamina and mental energy by one point per minute, with a one in ten thousand chance of igniting the opponent from within (the stronger the opponent, the lower the chance)]

[Note: It spontaneously combusted!!!]

[Projection consumes 20 stamina points]

"20 points of stamina?"

"If two lights are projected, my stamina will drop from 135 to 95..."

"You don't need to project too many. Projecting two should be enough to combine them to +2 level."

"Projection... Begin!"

Stamina: 95/100

After a flash of light, the two sacrificial lanterns landed on the table in front of Lin Xiao.

Including the sacrificial lantern that was taken down at the beginning, there were a total of three sacrificial lanterns, which were placed on the wooden table in Lin Xiao's room.

But then, Lin Xiao held a bottle of +10 mineral water in his hand, repeatedly raising it to his lips, then lowering it, repeatedly raising it and lowering it...

Stamina: 85/100

Finally, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and gulped down the bottle of mineral water.

"belch……"

The bread, which swelled up when it got wet, along with three bottles of mineral water, made Lin Xiao burp.

"This won't do, this really won't do. It looks like we can't keep doing this today..."

Lin Xiao was too exhausted to eat or drink anything right now. While bread and water could restore his physical and mental strength, the feeling of fullness was also real.

Conversely, the decrease in physical and mental strength did not reduce Lin Xiao's feeling of fullness...

[Mental Strength: 250/100]

"synthesis!"

After sitting in the chair for a while to recover, Lin Xiao began the synthesis process.

[Mental Strength: 210/100]

[Sacrifice Lantern +2: Tier 2. Hang it at the entrance to dispel fog within a 15-meter radius centered on the thatched hut at night, and deal minor sacrifice damage to hostile creatures within a 6-meter radius of the thatched hut.]

[Minor Burn: Reduces the opponent's stamina and mental strength by 3 points per minute, with a 0.03% chance of igniting the opponent from within (the stronger the opponent, the lower the chance)]

[Warmth: Hanging it at the door can help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.]

After the synthesized light disappeared, Lin Xiao quickly used the system to check the effect of the synthesis.

"The damage and other stats have increased as usual, hmm? And there's also a new warmth effect?"

"Warm? Will the temperature inside the cabin drop when night falls?"

This discovery sent a cold sweat down Lin Xiao's forehead.

Fortunately, he chose to sacrifice the lantern; if he had chosen the Shadow Mask, he probably would have had to stuff a piece of bread into it as well.

Moreover, Lin Xiao currently does not know how much the temperature will drop when night falls.

These are not the buildings that were all made of reinforced concrete before; in fact, some of the buildings now have insulation panels on the outside.

The north has central heating, and the south has air conditioning.

This is a small wooden cabin with drafts coming from almost every side, a thatched hut. Under such conditions, even if the temperature doesn't drop below zero, it's still very cold for many people if it's below ten degrees Celsius.

Moreover, Lin Xiao had already searched the cabin thoroughly but hadn't found anything resembling a quilt, which further fueled his suspicions.

In this situation, if one catches a cold or becomes unwell the next day, it is very dangerous in this foggy world.

But Lin Xiao browsed through the regional chat channels and found that no one mentioned that the temperature would drop. It was possible that they hadn't discovered it yet, or it was possible that some people already knew, but those who knew hadn't revealed it.

【114514 Regional Chat Channel (9990/10000)】

Suddenly, Lin Xiao noticed that the number of people on the regional channel had decreased by 7.

"When did this person die? Did they fail to escape back to the safe house while collecting timber?"

Although Lin Xiao felt sorry for them, she also had to survive, so she only felt sorry for them briefly.

Lin Xiao lay on the bed, constantly refreshing the local chat channel. He didn't really like speaking, but he was just used to surfing the internet.

Three hours passed quickly, and if you convert it to time, it should be 6 p.m. now.

"Achoo..."

Suddenly a chill ran through her, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but sneeze.

"Sure enough, the temperature is starting to drop..."

Lin Xiao's guess came true, and sure enough, the regional chat channel started talking about the temperature drop.

Chung Chi: "It's so cold! Can you all feel it? The temperature seems to have suddenly dropped!"

Liu Ruyan: "That's right. It looks like the temperature will gradually drop as night falls."

Cao Shu: "Sigh, everyone should collect more straw first. Covering yourselves with straw should keep you warm."

Juneng: "I've estimated that the temperature outside the fog has already dropped below zero. Even the temperature in our safe house is only around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius right now. When night officially comes, the temperature will probably drop even further."

Kong Wen: "What should we do? It's so cold..."

It's clear that people in the regional chat channel are worried about how to get through the night.

Feng Ao: "Hahahaha, you bunch of trash, I happened to be wearing a sweater when I got here, so the cold has no effect on me. Hahahaha, you're all going to die!"

Feng Ao, who had previously provoked public outrage, once again launched into sarcastic remarks in the regional chat channel.

However, no one is responding to Feng Ao's provocations anymore; everyone is following Cao Shu's advice to collect as much straw as possible, hoping it will have some effect.

Soon it was 8 o'clock, and night fell.

Lin Xiao got out of bed and went to the window to look outside.

The light mist in the forest suddenly thickened and spread towards Lin Xiao's cabin.

As the fog spread, along with it came rustling sounds from its depths.

However, the fog around Lin Xiao stopped spreading when it reached a distance of 15 meters from the cabin, and could no longer advance.

As soon as Lin Xiao noticed the cold, he had already hung the sacrificial lantern on the door of the cabin.

Within a 15-meter radius, not a wisp of mist could penetrate, and Lin Xiao, taking advantage of this buffer distance, noticed what was coming from the rustling sound.
