"Marian, how many times have I told you that there is no living person in our area except our family." The middle-aged man with whiskers reprimanded the young girl.

"However, I did hear someone knocking on the door just now, and I also saw a living person standing outside the door."

"Such a snowstorm, and so late, how could anyone survive outside?" The middle-aged man said angrily, "Go back to your room!"

Seeing her father getting angry, the girl didn't dare to say anything, and left with red eyes.

Lin Bei listened in confusion.

This girl just opened a door, why reprimand her so severely?

"Zangwill, don't be so strict, you're scaring the child." After the girl returned to the room, the middle-aged woman couldn't bear it, and persuaded her.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Zangwill sighed softly and sat down on the wooden chair.

"Edith, you should know, I can't help it. If we are not careful, we will not be able to survive. The place where we live is very close to the area where the demons are active. If we are not careful, we may die here .”

"Living so cautiously, how is it different from dying?" Edith covered her face and cried bitterly.

Zangwill took out a dry cigarette, lit it with firewood, smashed his mouth, and breathed out the cloud of smoke.

Lin Bei watched the scene silently from the side, and after a while, he pushed the door out and walked into the wind and snow.

"It seems that the life of the residents of this star is very bad. A hundred years ago, the alien race that invaded this continent has not completely left." Lin Bei speculated in his heart.

Just now, from the conversation between Zangwill and Edith, Lin Bei heard their fear. They were very afraid of that demon and everything unknown.

"If I contact them in a normal way, they will definitely reject me and think that I am a dangerous person. I have to find a way to reduce their vigilance against me." Lin Bei said to himself.

……

It snowed heavily, and it didn't stop all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that the snow gradually became smaller and sporadic.

Zangwill's family of three came out for activities one after another.

Zangwill took the icebreaker and set to work with Edith.

They first used tools similar to electric drills to break through the thick black ice, and then used iron tongs to pinch a square ice cube from under the ice layer.Through the crystal clear ice, you can vaguely see the frozen fish inside.

This is their only means of earning a living.

Twenty years ago, the weather changed suddenly, and after the entire Xinglan Continent was hit by a cold current, more than 20% of the living things on the continent died, and all the crops were frozen to death.

Thousands of miles are frozen, and thousands of miles are snow drifting.

The Xinglan Continent, which was originally thriving and full of vitality, instantly turned into a dead space.Those who were not frozen to death by the cold snap also starved to death for lack of food and provisions.

If you want to survive, you can only find food from under the ice.

Fortunately, Zangwill was a glacier archaeologist before, and he has a very good understanding of the glacier area. He invented special ice-breaking tools, dug the ice surface, and accurately searched for fish food from under the ice surface.

It is precisely because of his carefulness and rich knowledge that he was able to survive for so long on this desolate and nearly dead planet.

Whenever Zangwill and Edith go to work, it is also the only time their daughter Marianne goes out every day.Normally, she can only stay in the house and never go out.

Trotting on the ice, or jumping directly into the snowdrifts, her way of entertainment is roughly the same as that of children on the earth.Simple activities made her very excited and exhilarated.

At this moment, it seemed that something tripped her, causing her to fall, and her whole body fell into the snowdrift.

"Ouch~" Marianne rubbed her sore shoulder, sat up, and saw a person, buried in a snowdrift, covered in frost from head to toe, and his cheeks were frozen Purple.

"what!"

Marianne sat up suddenly, calling out to her parents in the distance.

Zangwill and Edith, who were working, heard their daughter's voice, and immediately dropped their work and rushed over.

"What's the matter, Marianne?"

"Dad, look!" Marianne pointed to the person buried in the snowdrift on the ground.

"Where did this come from?" Zangwill frowned.

"Dad, save him quickly! Otherwise he will die!" After all, Marianne was still a child, warm-hearted, and wanted to help others when she saw others in distress.

Edith was a woman, and although she didn't want to be troublesome, she couldn't bear to see this person being frozen to death by the wind and snow.

She looked at Zangwill inquiringly.

"We don't have any extra food to take him in." After all, Zangwill is a man, the head of the family, not as soft-hearted as Edith and Marianne.

The first thing he thought of was his own home.

Moreover, he was very puzzled, there was only their family in this area of ​​tens of miles.

How did this person get here on foot?

Braving the wind and snow to come here, then he is too lucky, right?
"But, if we don't help him, he will die!" Hearing Zangwill's words, Marian's eyes turned red.

She didn't know when she lived with her parents, and she had never seen anyone else except her parents.

But now, after finally seeing a person in need of help, she let her die and watched him die.This was a big shock to her heart.

"Zangwill, let's help him. Even if we wake him up, let him go." Edith couldn't help but persuade.

Zangwill was silent. He walked up to the man and looked him up and down.

Judging from the man's complexion and the degree of frost covering his face, he was indeed knocked unconscious by the cold snap.

In this way, he should also be an ordinary person, not those demons with extraordinary means.

Although Xinglan Continent does not have ancient poems like "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda", the residents here are also warm-hearted and helpful.

Although Zangwill didn't let go of his mouth, but if he really wanted to die, he couldn't bear it.

"Forget it, carry him in and make some soup for him. When he wakes up, send him away!" Zangwill said.

"Thank you dad!"

Seeing her father let go, Marianne cheered.

After all, a child will be sad because of other people's misfortune, and will feel joy when others are rescued.

With the joint efforts of the three, the man was carried into the wooden house.

Although the wooden house is poorly decorated, it is very warm and well-heated.

"This man is dressed so thinly, and he has not been frozen to death until now, he is really lucky!" Zangwill took off the man's wet clothes, and couldn't help muttering.

"Let him lie down for a while, Edith, go and make a bowl of fish soup," Zangwill ordered.

"I'll help too." Marianne accompanied them to cook the soup.

As for Zangwill, after he settled the man, he left the cabin to dig into the ice to find food.

The biggest cold snap of this year is coming soon, and by then, they will not be able to go out to find food.He had to store enough food before the cold snap came.

When all three members of Zangwill's family left and only the rescued person was left lying on the bed alone, his eyes slowly opened at this moment.

"It seems that this is a good family, and my luck is not too bad."
