Chapter 311: Tonight
"Can somebody please tell me what we’re supposed to do?" Lu Yi cried out in desperation, squatting on the ground. He truly couldn’t move another step.
Gu Fan surveyed their surroundings. Several of the windows were shattered, and the door seemed ready to collapse. A large hole had gaped open in the roof. The situation looked grave.
Darkness fell, and the blizzard intensified. Their situation worsened by the minute, causing everyone to worry. Even if they took refuge inside, the small wooden house might get blown over.
Old man Tian checked the wooden house, then remarked, "It’ll barely hold up. We can live in it. Let’s put up tents for the night."
This was a solution with no other options. Everyone knew they had no choice but to act quickly. In this snowy weather, they couldn’t light a fire, so they had to put on as many clothes as possible.
Lu Yi couldn’t help but complain, "The desert in the outer regions was so hot we nearly died, now this icy, snow-covered place is so cold we’re about to freeze. Can’t we pick a spot with better natural conditions for our explorations?"
"Quit bitching. Where’s your shield? I need to fill in the hole in the roof." Gu Fan stretched out his hand asking for it as soon as he said it.
"Fine then. For everyone’s sake of a good night’s sleep, I’m willing to sacrifice a bit." Lu Yi handed his shield over to Gu Fan as he said those words, an unwilling expression on his face, "Remember to give it back to me when we set off tomorrow. This shield is really important to me, it once saved my life."
Gu Fan nodded, "I understand, even if I lose you, I won’t lose your shield."
