Chapter 151 Preparing Supplies
The next day, Ruan Mianmian was awakened by a commotion.
She rubbed her slightly sore eyes, got dressed, and walked out of the tent.
Today, Sen is out on patrol with his team and isn't outside.
Daman and his family had what was probably the most comfortable sleep they'd had all fall last night.
So early in the morning, after discovering that the tribe would regularly send out orcs to patrol, she also sent out orcs from the Elephant Clan to go with them.
She's already been eating, drinking, and staying for free, which is already quite generous. If she doesn't contribute anything, she really won't have the face to stay any longer.
The noise Ruan Mianmian heard was the sound of the patrol team returning. They were marveling at the thickness of the snow outside, indicating that this year had truly been an extremely harsh winter.
When Daman heard his people's descriptions of the outside world, he marveled at their good fortune.
If they hadn't met Yong, in such extreme cold, not only would the baby elephants have perished, but the entire herd would probably have frozen to death outside.
When Ruan Mianmian came out, she heard them discussing the blizzard from the previous day.
"When will this snow finally stop...?" one of the orcs complained.
Ruan Mianmian had the same question in her mind. She looked up at the sky, which was gray and seemed to be going to continue for a while.
Just then, Sen walked over, his clothes still covered in snowflakes, clearly having just returned from outside.
"It seems this blizzard will last a long time, and we must be fully prepared," Mori said seriously.
Ruan Mianmian nodded; she knew that survival would be even more difficult in such weather.
"We need more food and warm clothing."
She thought to herself, "Also, we need to make sure the cave can withstand blizzards."
Sen agreed and then turned to instruct the other orcs to prepare supplies.
Looking at the busy crowd, Ruan Mianmian pondered how she should take a break.
Looking at the gray sky outside, Zhi walked towards Ruan Mianmian with a somewhat heavy expression and said, "This winter will be very cold. I'm afraid some of the orcs in the tribes won't be able to withstand it and will have to come out. Let's arrange for the tribesmen to patrol twice a day from now on."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian said that Zhi could arrange these things, and she only needed to ensure logistics.
They were pulled out again, and those that needed to be reinforced were reinforced, and those that needed to be filled with clay were filled with more clay.
“Ruan Ruan, the snow above the cave is quite thick, could you…” Sen walked over, looking at Ruan Mianmian with some hesitation.
He didn't finish his sentence, but Ruan Mianmian knew what he was going to say.
"It's alright, I still have a market for ice and snow products. Let me change my clothes and we'll go out and handle it," Ruan Mianmian said with a smile, trying to comfort her.
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian went back into the tent to change into a very thick down jacket, and then walked out of the cave with Sen.
The moment they stepped out of the cave, the outside world filled them with immense awe.
At the entrance to the cave, a narrow path had been carved out, just wide enough for a human to walk on, and the snow piled up on both sides was as high as several people.
If Ruan Mianmian were on her own, she would have no way to get out of this place.
Wearing a mask, Ruan Mianmian asked indistinctly, "Sen, it snowed so heavily yesterday and lasted for a whole day and night. Will it get even worse in the future?"
After transforming into his original form, Sen carried Ruan Mianmian on his giant snake head and replied, "Such extreme cold weather will only increase, and the snow will only fall heavier!"
Looking at the endless expanse of white in the distance, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but gasp, a strong sense of unease welling up inside her. Just as they were chatting, the snow began to fall heavily again.
Ruan Mianmian gestured for Sen to stand up. Her hand touched the snow on the cave ceiling, and instantly a large area above the cave was cleared.
Snow kept falling from above, and Ruan Mianmian kept storing it into her spatial storage while observing her surroundings.
After clearing for about twenty minutes, Ruan Mianmian had collected all the snow above the cave.
Sen glanced at the prompts and, seeing that they were almost done, led the nearly frozen Ruan Mianmian back to the cave.
Back in the cave, Ruan Mianmian saw everyone preparing for the upcoming blizzard, so while changing clothes, she contacted the desert merchant and the volcano tribe merchant she had traded with before on the exchange platform.
"I have a lot of snow here, and I can also take ice if needed. Discounts available for bulk orders."
Shortly after the message was sent, Ruan Mianmian received messages from both parties.
They said they needed everything, and Ruan Mianmian could decide the quantity; similarly, the exchange of supplies would be based on mutual agreement.
So the snow that Ruan Mianmian had just cleared was instantly turned into a treasure.
At the same time, she also received a large amount of camel meat, cactus fruit, and other unidentified fruits.
There are also many palm leaves from the volcano tribe, which are on Ruan Mianmian's exchange list this time.
So, unknowingly, they stockpiled another batch of food for the elephant herd.
