Chapter 71 Run! There's an avalanche!

"You just watch!"

Feng Xiran was feeling tired and decided to stop arguing with the system, closing her eyes for a rest.

The blanket covering her slipped off, and the cold woke her up. The carriage curtain was too thin, allowing the wind to seep in from time to time. She rubbed her arms and pulled the blanket tighter around her.

She glanced at Yao Xiang and Mu Xin, who were leaning against each other. If Feng Xiran had a phone, she would've wanted to capture this touching moment of sisterly affection.

She thought about lifting the curtain to look outside but gave up, knowing the wind would rush in. Instead, she peeked through a small gap.

The sky outside was pitch-black, but the ground was blanketed in white snow, reflecting light. It was a desolate, barren landscape. Tree branches were broken under the weight of the snow, some snapped in half, and the snow was knee-deep.

The sound of footsteps crunching in the snow echoed. Legs sank deep with each step, and it took a moment to pull them out.

Feng Tianhuang thought to herself that her daughter had finally shown some promise. Coincidentally, Xue Rong City had experienced extreme weather this year, with early snow and even an avalanche. This was an opportunity for her to witness it firsthand.

The wind was so cold it made her eyebrows ache. The soldiers outside were trembling, gripping their cold weapons tightly, rubbing their hands as they marched forward.

With the sudden departure, Ling Xin had given everything she had to Feng Xiran, but it still wasn't enough. There weren't enough items to keep them all warm. Only half the people had proper winter clothing, and Feng Xiran had sent the rest back to the capital to wait.

It wasn't feasible to give every soldier a fur coat. Additionally, Yangming City had suffered a drought this year, and many crops had died. Reed plants from the water had also perished. Ling Xin had hastily gathered some cotton and stuffed them with local reeds to make jackets.

Despite this, the wind still found its way into the carriage. Yao Xiang and the others woke up from the cold, rubbing their hands and muttering, "It's so cold."

The snow was so bright it was like daylight. Feng Xiran instructed the soldiers to change into more colorful clothing and avoid staring straight ahead for too long to prevent snow blindness, which would blur their vision. The soldiers at the front and back rotated regularly to lead the way.

The armor worn by the soldiers had a layer of frost on top. Everyone rubbed their hands and ears, their faces twisted in pain from the cold.

Feng Xiran frowned. If this continued, the soldiers, already poorly dressed, would have frostbite before they reached their destination. She had no idea what the situation was like ahead.

She called for Ling Shuang to stop for a break, mainly to set up a shelter for everyone to warm themselves by the fire. If they continued to rest in the open air, they would freeze to death.

Before leaving, Feng Xiran had arranged for some emergency tents to be brought along, and now was the perfect time to use them.

These so-called "tents" were actually some old, patched-up bedsheets, which offered little protection against the wind. Feng Xiran's previous company specialized in camping gear, and she had spent a lot of time developing wind-resistant fabrics with her team.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any resin or plastic products in this world. Feng Xiran frowned but quickly thought of a substitute. The resin from tree bark could be dried and used in small amounts, but there wasn't enough time to prepare it.
