Snow, does it have a burning sensation?
Lin Yue thought it was just his imagination and caught another snowflake.
The feeling like a gentle prickling came from his palm again!
Lin Yue quickly checked and found a slightly red mark there, and it felt a bit itchy.
No doubt, this snow is abnormal!
He hurried back into the house and finally understood why Xiao Bai didn't like this snow.
Moreover, it seemed like the temperature had dropped quite significantly. It used to feel like midsummer, but now, even wearing a long-sleeved tracksuit, he felt a bit cold.
Wait, is everyone else experiencing the same thing?
He opened the group chat, which he hadn't opened in a long time, and found that almost everyone there was discussing the snow!
"No, wasn't the snowstorm supposed to be the day after tomorrow, and it's already snowing today?"
"We only have winters here, this little bit of snow is nothing, but it's so cold."
"Haha, didn't expect the snow to come so soon, I already got my basin ready to catch it. Where are the unscrupulous vendors selling water now? You Lin, hold your head up, I'm talking about you!"
"There's water now, we're saved!"
"I've been drinking urine for two days, I have to say, I'm starting to wonder if I have diabetes."
"It's the season of the white album again."
"First time seeing snow as an equatorial resident, geez, does snow make your whole body itch?"
"It's too damn cold, I can't stand it! Gotta chop wood and burn it for warmth!"
"Indeed, the thermometer I got in the Secret Realm showed 12 degrees just now, and now it's 6 degrees."
"Damn, how much colder will it get, who has a heater blueprint? I'll trade my entire fortune!"
...
After reading for a while, Lin Yue also felt the house getting colder and closed the group chat.
Rubbing his hands continuously, he looked at the embedded steel plate fireplace in his inventory.
Luckily I found this thing, otherwise, I'd really have to consider how to keep the house ventilated while keeping it sealed.
Feeling increasingly cold, Lin Yue first placed four wooden decorative walls, then immediately placed four sheepskins in the four corners of the house.
With the continuous burning of the torches inside the house, it quickly became warm.
However, this also created a nearly heated and sealed effect, relying solely on that little gap in the stone door, he would definitely suffocate if the flames burned for a certain period.
Next...
[Please place the embedded steel plate fireplace, note that it requires some stone support]
This is not a problem.
With a flash of light, Lin Yue discovered that his embedded fireplace was now completely integrated with his wall, wrapped in stone.
And a very long sealed smokepipe directly pierced through the stone roof, completely enabling ventilation.
As long as it's installed properly, there's no need to worry about carbon monoxide with this type of fireplace.
Lin Yue now carefully observed and found that the combustion chamber of this fireplace was of a fully enclosed type, with a label indicating secondary combustion technology, smokeless and dust-free, efficient burning.
During a previous interview with a home company, they had a similar product, and he had specifically researched it to ensure a successful interview.
He knew that high-end fireplaces would have things like air pressure, blower control, and installed smoke alarm systems, although the alarm system was completely unusable now, the other two seemed fine.
So the remaining task is to find firewood.
Lin Yue grabbed an iron axe, took out a unit of wood, and started chopping.
It didn't take long before the system notification sounded.
[You have obtained a firewood blueprint]
hhhhc, even firewood has a blueprint, huh.
But this does save a lot of effort.
One block of wood can produce twenty pieces of firewood. Lin Yue threw plenty into the fireplace, used dry grass as tinder, and after lighting a match, it didn't take long for the flames to start burning inside the fireplace.
And the burning became more and more intense.
Lin Yue closed the fireplace's combustion chamber door, felt the indoor temperature gradually rising, and not feeling any sense of suffocation, he sighed with relief.
He was ahead of almost everyone by a day and a half, and his shelter was already sufficient for him to survive the upcoming snowstorm!
And then...
"So hot, how can it be this hot." To cool off, Lin Yue opened the stone door.
The snow outside was still falling as it had before, the ground was wet, and the temperature dropped all of a sudden, making him feel a bit cold again.
Geez, a fiery furnace inside, icy snow outside.
It seemed he already stood out vividly compared to others?
Lin Yue stood at the door with his arms crossed, Xiao Bai lazily lay on his shoulder, this little guy wasn't too fond of the heat.
The back is so hot...
Lin Yue was troubled, should he wear shorts and a vest in the shelter?
He looked at everyone in the group chat who was shouting cold with envy.
Seeing the light outside gradually dimming, Lin Yue knew there was nothing more he could do, so he closed the stone door again and enjoyed the spring-like warmth inside.
For Xiao Bai's sake, Lin Yue moved a wooden bucket he had made earlier over, and directly poked a big hole in it with his iron spear.
The barrel was fairly well-sealed, and Lin Yue thought for a moment before pouring in about two liters of water, then putting the heat-averse little guy into the barrel.
Upon inspection, it seemed like the barrel was quite good, it hadn't leaked a drop of water all this time.
Xiao Bai swam continuously in the shallow water, appearing to quite like the environment inside.
Looks like the little guy won't need to monopolize that bowl anymore.
Looking at the fireplace, the firewood inside kept burning, the amount of firewood he put in earlier was indeed too much, looks like it would burn well into the night.
Will it burn until the latter half of the night?
He threw a piece of firewood into the wooden barrel, so when Xiao Bai got tired of swimming, he could lie down and rest on it. Lin Yue began his primitive life in the shelter.
After all, it was too hot, there was no other way.
He stared at the burning firewood in the fireplace for a while and suddenly thought of something.
Lin Yue lay on the wooden bed in a "Nai" position and opened the group chat again.
Meanwhile, he searched the chat logs for the words "mutant meat."
Very quickly, a large amount of chat information appeared.
After reading for more than ten minutes, he also browsed the trading market.
Soon, he came to a conclusion.
Mutant meat is edible!
The prerequisite is that it's regular red or white meat, not the green or purple stuff.
Lin Yue looked at the more than fifty kilograms of mutant mutton lying quietly in his inventory and swallowed hard.
"Xiao Bai, do you want some lamb skewers?"
"Puchi?" Xiao Bai popped its little head out of the wooden barrel, puzzled, while also hearing a strange "gurgle" sound coming from Lin Yue, its owner.
