The group of people stood outside the city for only a dozen seconds before they felt something was wrong. No wonder, the strongest trio decided to return to the city after staying there for two minutes.

The people who hurried back through the protective shield rubbed their faces: “Damn! This is not an environment for people to stay in.”

“I won’t go out. I feel uncomfortable staying for a few more seconds.”

Seeing that people gave up leaving the city one after another, the other teams hesitated.

At this time, someone finally mentioned this in the dialogue channel, and it was from Qiuyu City.

[Xu Zheng (same province channel): Don’t go out, it’s not just cold today, there’s also an evil wind that can freeze people into human-shaped statues. One of our teammates was blown, and we’re in the pharmacy to see if we can save him.]

[Ruan Fanyao (same province channel): We have a few lucky ones here. They were frozen at the city gate and were quickly pulled back. If they were in the wild, it would be hard to say.]

Ruan Fanyao’s teammate didn’t know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky. They were still hesitating when they left the city, and they felt a piercing cold wind blowing.

At that time, they didn’t feel anything, but after a gust of wind, those who hadn’t left the protective shield saw several people frozen there. Ruan Fanyao reacted quickly and dragged them back immediately.

Lu Jiu saw the words on the dialogue channel and was glad that she didn’t go out.

[Xu Zheng (same province channel): How can you save them? What medicine can you take? Our NPC said there is no medicine.]

[Ruan Fanyao (same province channel): Because they are frozen, they need to warm themselves by the fire, and wait until their mouths can open before feeding them oral medicine to thaw frostbite.]

Their city-state was okay. The pharmacy NPC has high-level talents and can make more kinds of potions than low-level ones, and the efficacy was better.

The last two people traded via email.

Lu Jiu and the other three have returned to the residential area. After seeing the dialogue channel, they said they were lucky not to go out.

Shen Jufeng read the conversation and said: “That wind can be called a cold current. It can freeze people in an instant, but it will not kill them immediately, and it’s not in a fixed position.”

Lu Jiu said: “Some people were frozen when they went out, and some were frozen at the city gate. It seems that this wind is running around outside, just like a refreshed wild monster.”

In this situation, they definitely can’t go out. The low temperature has already made their movements less flexible than before. If they were frozen, they may be able to be rescued if they have a good relationship with their teammates.

If the relationship was average, or even just a temporary teammate, then if they were frozen in the wild, who knows what will happen to them?

Zhuang Yun listened to the understanding of the two teammates and didn’t have any special feelings: “Anyway, I won’t leave the city until the temperature is normal.”

Lu Jiu glanced at him: “Okay, the most diligent people in our team don’t want to go out, so let’s take a vacation. There’s not much time left in winter.”

In the past, Zhuang Yun didn’t back down even if they wanted to go out in the early winter, but now he decided not to go out.

Shen Jufeng adjusted his sitting position: “I also think it’s best not to go out, and although there is a protective cover to adjust the temperature, if the temperature drops further, it may be difficult to go out of the house.”

Lu Jiu has learned a little about the nature of the game world this winter: “The temperature may indeed drop further, wasn’t it before?”

She thought it was the coldest time, but the system refreshed it to a lower temperature.

Lu Jiu said: “I will ask the manager of the tailor shop recently to see if I can make clothes with better warmth properties so that I can at least go out.”

It was boring to stay at home.

Then all the residents of Xuantian City received an email, which roughly meant that professional residents should not go out, and there was a cold current outside the city that would appear somewhere unknown, which was dangerous, and ordinary residents had better stay at home and don’t go far from home.

However, the patrol NPCs seemed to be unaffected by the climate, and they wore winter clothes symbolically, so it was okay to go out of the city and come back.
She now realized that she had been worrying too much before.

So everyone stayed at home. If they wanted to go out, they would just walk around downstairs. After fifteen minutes, the NPC who was staying at the hotel would remind them to go back.

Other city-states knew from the dialogue channel that it was dangerous outside now, so they chose not to go out. The city-states had protective shields with temperature adjustment functions, which was fine. In those second-level city-states, the residents were too cold to go out.

The temperature inside and outside the city was the same, and it was not known whether the cold current would appear in the city, so they chose not to go out.

However, in this situation, many residents still had negative symptoms of typhoid fever, and the city lords of these city-states were racking their brains for a while.

Qiuyu City was a third-level city-state. After the cold current appeared, the city lord adjusted the temperature of the protective shield to the highest, but unexpectedly, people began to get sick in the city the next day.

Originally, it was children, but later more and more adults became sick.

Ruan Fanyao knew that several members of his team were sick, and he was very shocked.

She was already an official resident of this city-state, living in the residential area, and was talking to her friends about this.

[Ruan Fanyao: Can professional players also be infected with this negative state? I thought only ordinary residents would be like this.]

The other side quickly replied: [But it’s true that they are sick. Fortunately, they recovered quickly after taking the potion, but there were too many people. The city lord said that at this rate, the potion may not be enough.]

[Ruan Fanyao: How can it be insufficient? Didn’t we accumulate a lot of potions before?]

[The city lord didn’t expect that professional players would also get sick, and some people would be infected again after they recovered, so they had to drink the potion again. It was not enough under this consumption.]

Ruan Fanyao finally understood why it was not enough. If there are too many people who are sick, they will be infected with negative states again.

[Ruan Fanyao: What can the city lord do? He has to save people.]

[The city lord means to contact the city-states with sufficient potions to see if they can share some, and he wants to open another branch. More pharmacies can also relieve some pressure.]

Ruan Fanyao felt that this was the only way to deal with it now. The demand for medicine was originally great, so it would not be bad to open more branches. After this crisis, the pharmacy would be able to use it in the future.

Fortunately, she had several bottles of peach vitality agent, which could remove any negative state. Unfortunately, the number of bottles was not enough, otherwise she could sell it to the city lord.

Looking at the dialogue channel again, she found that many people were asking for medicine on it. The demand for medicine was greater than ever before.

She remembered the people who were frozen before. She didn’t go out recently, so she didn’t know the situation of those people.

[Ruan Fanyao: By the way, are those people who were frozen at the city gate okay now?]

[It’s okay, they are fine now, but they forgot that they were frozen at the time and just felt that they had slept.]

It was good that they were fine, but with this cold wave, they couldn’t go out. Who knows when this damn weather will return to normal?

At this time, the mayor of the city-state was in a great headache. Among the more than 4,000 residents in the city, more than 1,000 were infected with the negative state of typhoid fever, and this number continued to increase.

Hundreds of them were cured at the beginning with the medicine they prepared, but they were infected again within two days.

Thinking that his pharmacy could not bear it, he began to speak to the provincial channel again. This time he went to Xuantian City in Yangshan City.
