Chapter 2028: Chapter 677: Unexpected Gain, Black-maned Wild Boar King Cadaver

After handing over all the materials to the Dwarf Blacksmith, he left.

During the storm, although the territory’s gathering efforts ground to a halt.

Places like the brewery, sewing shop, and blacksmith shop continued working as usual.

Moreover, Cao Xing specifically instructed that these working members be supplied with food as usual to ensure they have enough strength to work.

After finishing these tasks, Cao Xing returned to the Lord Castle.

Soon, the night passed quickly.

...

The next day... The snow and wind persisted.

Everyone huddled in their respective territories, unable to go out.

The whole world seemed to be ruled by snow and wind.

In the area hundreds of kilometers around the Gale Snow Plain, some powerful figures were braving the frenzied snowstorm as they traversed mountain forests, rivers, plains, and other terrains.

These were the core combat personnel of Cao Xing’s territory. They were searching for prey.

The entire day passed quickly.

These core combat personnel occasionally returned to the territory, bringing back some prey from the wild.

There were Snow Wolves, Bomb Rabbits, and some frozen wild boars.

Cao Xing accepted them all, breaking them down into meat.

Although it’s not much, accumulated over time, it represents a considerable quantity.

It would allow the territory to persist for two more days.

...

In this way, three days passed in a flash...

At six in the morning, the system prompt appeared on time.

[All survivors, please note that you have passed the 18th day of the turbulent period.]

[Weather Forecast: The storm will continue, with minimum temperatures from -63℃ to -74℃.]

...

As Cao Xing predicted, the storm intermittently raged for four days.

It seemed to show no signs of stopping.

Survivors in the chat channel also sensed something amiss.

They began to discuss fervently.

"Guys, something’s wrong! It’s been almost four days, and this terrifying snowstorm hasn’t abated. It looks like it could continue for several more days."

"Indeed... Luckily, I learned from the last fog disaster and stockpiled a heap of coal and wood, enough to last me two or three months!"

"Wow! You stockpiled so much coal, but how much food did you store?"

"I didn’t store much food though. The population in the territory keeps increasing, plus ongoing development, so there’s no way to store a lot of food."

"Same here... I even recruited hundreds of refugees this time, planning for them to help me farm. Then this heavenly calamity struck and now there’s no way to develop!"

At this moment, a well-respected Legion Commander spoke up: "Everyone, let me remind you."

"We don’t know how long this snow disaster will last, but I suggest that everyone start rationing and try to reduce expenses."

"If it lasts half a month like the last fog disaster, then we’ll have big trouble."

Survivors felt a surge of crisis upon hearing this.

At the current stage, except for a few territories, none could store a lot of food within their territories.

If it turns out like the fog disaster, their territory resources would surely face collapse!

At once, all Lords initiated emergency actions.

They issued various policies within their territories.

Including reducing daily food supplies, shutting down the Lighthouse and other energy devices, reducing resource consumption, etc.

Similar to Cao Xing’s current territorial status.

However, them trying to send many people out to find food in such severe weather like Cao Xing is clearly impossible.

Even Master-level strong people would lose their way in the snowstorm.

...

Meanwhile, Cao Xing was overseeing the territory.

Suddenly, a system prompt appeared before him.

[Your territory construction: Dream Library’s dreaming time has ended; the building is now open.]

...

"Oh? Dreaming time is over?"

"Does this mean Sarah is awake too?"

A smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face immediately.

The effects of this Legendary Level building were so magical, allowing an entity in the dream to bring something out of the dream.

This made Cao Xing eager to see what Sarah could bring back from the dream!

Thinking of this, he quickly pushed open the Lord Castle’s doors and headed to the Second Ring Area of the territory.

There stood an ancient and majestic library.

Nearby, a slender figure stood silently.

Her eyes were closed, seemingly like a shadow having no presence, subconsciously being ignored by others.

This figure was Sarah.

She seemed to know that Cao Xing would come to find her, hence was already waiting here.

Upon sensing Cao Xing’s presence, the Dark Elf suddenly opened her eyes.

An icy and sharply lethal aura emanated from her.

"Sarah, you’re awake." Cao Xing stepped forward with a hint of concern in his voice.

The Dark Elf quickly concealed her aura and solemnly replied, "Yes, my esteemed Lord."

"I feel... like I haven’t seen you in so long..."

Saying this, her voice turned slightly choked, and her eyes reddened slightly, tears almost spilling forth.

Seeing Sarah like this, Cao Xing froze for a moment.

Then, he extended his hands and held the Dark Elf in his arms.

"Ugh..."

Feeling the warmth of the Lord’s embrace suddenly, the Legendary Assassin’s body stiffened slightly and then relaxed.

Her cheek pressed against Cao Xing’s chest, as if finding comfort she had long missed.

"It’s all right now, Sarah." Cao Xing gently comforted, his tone full of tenderness.

Sarah clung tightly to Cao Xing, as if fearing she’d never see him again.

No longer displaying the cold demeanor of a Legendary Assassin, she seemed more like an ordinary girl in need of reliance.

A moment later, Sarah held back the tears from longing, and her aura returned to tranquility.

She softly spoke: "Thank you, Lord."

Cao Xing smiled slightly, asking gently: "Now, tell me, what did you experience in the dream?"
