Chapter 640 Sea Mall

"In such a cold weather, you are so far away from me..."

Nan Feng carried a hoe on his shoulder, humming a little tune, and walked in the heavy snow.

The world in front of me was dark.

But the south wind could still vaguely see the outline of the city ahead.

"That should be Hai Shang City, right?"

Nanfeng opened the panel and took a look to confirm that the direction was correct before continuing to walk forward.

His pace was slow, like an old man taking a walk.

But every step he takes can span a distance of tens or hundreds of meters, like a ghost on a snowy night.

A few minutes later, Nanfeng noticed a little fire ahead.

"With this extreme weather, are there still people in the wild?"

The south wind slowed down and approached slowly.

I saw two middle-aged men wearing thick clothes and holding big axes in their hands, cutting down trees.

Beside them, there were two lanterns. The faint fire that Nanfeng saw just now came from here.

"Brothers, you are still out cutting trees in such a cold weather." Nanfeng appeared behind the two of them like a ghost and said suddenly.

"Damn it, you scared me."

One of them was so frightened that he almost swung his ax at Nan Feng.

Another person picked up the lantern, looked Nanfeng up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Bago, don't panic, this is a young man, not a ferocious beast."

Ba Ge took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then he said: "Young man, do you know that if you are scary, you will scare them to death?"

Nan Feng spread his hands and said, "I'm not scaring you. I'm just curious as to why you are cutting down trees here in such a cold weather."

"Nonsense, it's just because the weather is too cold that we have to cut down the trees. Otherwise, how can we keep warm without firewood?" Myna looked at Nanfeng speechlessly.

This young man looks respectable, but why would he ask such a stupid question?

Could he be a fool?

Nanfeng was puzzled: "But the tree has been soaked with snow and water, so it won't burn."

With an expression of resentment, Bago shook his head, raised his ax and continued to chop down trees: "Lao Liu, please explain to him, I have to continue working."

On the side, Lao Liu, who was holding a lantern, patiently answered Nanfeng's question: "We still have some firewood at home, which can be burned for a few more days. We just need to put these soaked trees next to the fire to roast for a while. Time can be used.”

Hearing this, Nanfeng nodded clearly.

Lao Liu asked back: "What about you, young man? It's snowing like this. If you don't stay at home, why are you running out?"

Nanfeng pondered for a moment and then said, "Obviously, I am here to farm."

As he spoke, he patted the rusty hoe on his shoulder.

With such heavy snow, why do you go out to farm?

What a fool.

Lao Liu looked at Nanfeng with some pity: "Young man, where do you live? It's too cold outside, you'd better go back quickly."

Nanfeng shook his head: "I don't know where home is."

The myna who was cutting down the tree glanced back and said helplessly: "Hey, your young man's clothes are thin and he is probably freezing to death. Come back with us later and stay at my house for two days first. Damn this weather. , I don’t know when the sun will come out..."

Nanfeng asked: "Are you living in Haishang City?"

Ba Ge nodded and said: "Yes, you kid, you know Hai Shang City but don't know where your home is? What a strange guy..."

Myna was thinking to himself while he was working hard to chop down the tree.

His hands were red from the cold, and they were covered with large and small chilblains, which hurt just looking at them.

Half an hour later, Lao Liu and Ba Ge finally chopped down two giant trees.

They cut off the extra branches and walked back carrying a round trunk.

Lao Liu held a lantern and said, "Young man, follow me. It will take more than an hour to get back here. If you freeze to death on the road, we can't save you."

Nan Feng followed the two of them silently.

He originally wanted to go up and help, but thinking about what happened in Tangcun before, he hesitated.

Could it be that these two people were arranged here by Xiao Luo to wait for me?

Probably not...

After walking forward for more than 20 minutes, Lao Liu and Ba Ge were so tired that they could only put down the tree trunk and rest on the spot.

"Hoo, ho, this job really isn't done by humans."

"It's so cold, Brother Myna, my ears are almost falling off from the cold."

"If you keep at it, you'll be home soon."

The two chatted for a few words and then stopped talking. Instead, they calmed down their breathing and regained their strength.

A rustling sound sounded in the jungle not far away.

Nanfeng turned around and saw a [Prairie Wolf] there, staring at the three of them with red eyes.

Seeing that Nan Feng had discovered it, [Prairie Wolf] roared angrily and pounced on it!

"Ho ho ho!"

This dull roar scared Lao Liu and Ba Ge so much that they almost jumped.

They turned around and saw the sharp-toothed [Steppenwolf], and they shivered all over.

It's really unlucky to ride a horse and encounter a vicious beast!

"Myna, run!" Lao Liu didn't even want the lantern anymore, he yelled and ran away.

"You idiot, you didn't wait for me..."

Bage cursed secretly and hurriedly followed. He did not forget to remind Nanfeng: "Young man, don't be in a daze, run!"

Upon seeing this, [Steppe Wolf] decisively set its first target on Nan Feng, who was 'scared'.

It leaped high and pounced on Nanfeng, its bloody mouth emitting a foul odor.

Nanfeng calmly swung the hoe and smashed the head of the [Grassland Wolf].

Ha, a level 11 beast?

You are not as powerful as the [Four-legged Chicken] in the first two chapters.

The Bage and Lao Liu were so scared that they ran away without looking back, not realizing that the danger had been resolved by Nanfeng.

Nanfeng shrugged, put the body of the [Grassland Wolf] into his backpack, and then carried the hoe on his left shoulder and the tree trunk on his right shoulder, preparing to sneak into the Haimao City in this appearance.

Swish!

Nanfeng passed by the running Bage and Lao Liu like the wind and ran straight to the Haimao City.

Myna said in a horrified tone: "Old Six, did you see something just now, something passed by in a flash?"

Old Six swallowed his saliva: "It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly."

Myna: "Never mind, run quickly. Alas, it's a pity for that stupid boy, he fed the beast for us."

At this time, Nanfeng had already arrived outside the gate of Haishang City before them.

He saw many people, all carrying bundles of firewood, walking back from the woods outside the city.

Their hands and feet were red from the cold, and they were exhausted.

In this extreme weather, if these civilians want to survive, they must go to the woods to chop firewood in the heavy snow and risk being preyed upon by beasts.

Fire is their hope of survival.

"Auntie Zhao, why are you alone? Where is Uncle Zhao?"

Hearing the conversation behind him, Nanfeng subconsciously glanced back.

Behind him, there was a woman with lifeless eyes, walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There were two lines of ice crystals on her face, obviously she had just cried, but the tears were frozen on her face before they fell to the ground.

When she heard someone calling her, Aunt Zhao turned her head stiffly and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Uncle Zhao, he, he was eaten by a beast just now to protect me."

"Alas, I didn't want to run away. I thought that dying with him would be enough in this life."

"But there is still a little granddaughter at home. I can't be so selfish. I have to send back the firewood he has collected with all his efforts..."

While speaking, Aunt Zhao hugged a bundle of firewood tightly and walked past Nanfeng.

Nanfeng looked at her for a moment.

For the first time, he understood the meaning of despair.
