In the gray sky, snowflakes were dancing, the wind was howling, and the entire valley was shrouded in white.

I looked again carefully and found that it was not snowing. The reason why snowflakes were falling was that the wind was too strong, causing the tiny ice flowers on the ground to return to the sky.

He turned back to Zhou Shuwan and said, "It seems the weather is not very good today."

Zhou Shuwan also sat up, put on his coat, and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

"it is good!"

The two men put on their equipment, unfastened the buckles connected to the fixed ropes, connected themselves front and back, then held hands, unzipped the tent, and walked out.

The biting cold wind mixed with light snowflakes blew in Zhou Shuwan's face, and he couldn't help but shiver. Even though he was wearing thick winter clothes, he seemed to feel the biting cold.

The valley was quiet, with only the sound of wind and snow echoing.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu walked around the valley and confirmed that there was no danger nearby. It must have snowed last night. Although it wasn't heavy, the snow that hadn't yet frozen was very thick, almost reaching above their knees. Every step was very strenuous.

"There is a lake over here." Qi Mingyu said, pointing to a place not far away.

The two walked over and found that the lake had already been frozen over with thick ice, and the ice was covered with a thick layer of snow, which looked like a white plain.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhou Shuwan said.

Qi Mingyu nodded, took her hand, and the two of them supported each other to the lake.

Qi Mingyu asked Zhou Shuwan to take out the ice pick from the space and chisel a hole in the ice. After examining it, he shook his head and said, "This lake won't do. There's no water at the bottom, and there are no fish."

Probably because the lake is very small, only about 300 square meters, about half an acre, so the lake bottom is very shallow and the water temperature is extremely low.

Zhou Shuwan nodded and said, "This lake is not deep enough, and the underwater temperature is too low to be suitable for fish to survive."

Qi Mingyu looked around and said, "However, this place is open and accessible from all directions, making it a good place to station."

Zhou Shuwan also agreed: "Well, besides where we are stationed, this place is also good. If..."

She paused and swallowed the rest of her words.

Qi Mingyu looked at her and knew that she was talking about her second uncle and third aunt, but so many years had passed and there was no news from them. They all knew in their hearts that they must be in great danger.

When they first learned about their second uncle's family, they immediately asked Xiao Xiao for help. The latter did ask the convoy sent out to keep an eye on the gang, but soon the extreme cold weather came and all the convoys returned, and the matter came to nothing.

Qi Mingyu patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

Zhou Shuwan glanced back at him, smiled, and said cheerfully, "I know, Brother Xiaoyu, no matter what time it is, as long as our family is together, it's fine. Even in peacetime, not every household can stay together, let alone in this apocalyptic world where people die every day!"

Looking at the sky, it was already past seven o'clock. Guessing that Zhou Jianghai would be waking up soon, the two of them returned to the valley hand in hand.

As expected, Zhou Jianghai got up, dressed neatly, and sat by the white flame stove, roasting three potatoes. Those were some food that Zhou Shuwan had placed in the corner of the tent last night.

Although food is best kept fresh in her space without worrying about spoilage, some of it must be placed outside in case of special circumstances where she is not here and others have no food to eat.

Even at home, she always took advantage of the fact that Grandma Pang and Mu Mu were not around to fill the refrigerator, freezer and storage cabinets.

After Zhou Jianghai got up, he rinsed his mouth with water from the thermos, washed briefly, and then took a few potatoes and roasted them on the white flame stove using the grill.

Seeing them come back, his originally anxious expression calmed down and he complained, "You left without a word. I was startled when I woke up and didn't see you."
