Chapter 449 Blizzard

Just as they were about to move forward, the weather suddenly changed and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

The sky, which was originally clear, was suddenly covered by thick dark clouds, and the temperature dropped sharply, as if it had jumped directly from the humid heat of the tropical rainforest to the cold winter.

The wind began to whistle, mixed with a cold breath, and became more and more violent.

Alice looked up at the sky, frowning: "Not good, it seems that a blizzard is coming."

Before the voice fell, snowflakes fell from the sky like sharp arrows, hitting their faces and bodies densely. At first, there were only a few snowflakes, but soon they became as heavy as goose feathers, sweeping over the sky and the ground.

The cold wind whistled, blowing the leaves to make a rustling sound, and the snow on the ground quickly covered the path they were walking.

The wind became stronger and stronger, the snow became heavier, and the sky became extremely dark, as if the night had fallen early. The surrounding trees swayed in the wind and snow, making bursts of whimpering sounds, and the entire rainforest was swallowed by the blizzard and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

The coldness attacked their bodies mercilessly, and the originally humid and sultry air was instantly replaced by a biting cold wind. Alice tightened her coat, but still felt the cold wind cutting her face like a knife.

She looked back at Su Ming. Although he looked calm on the surface, Alice knew that this extreme weather was very unfavorable for their journey.

"The blizzard is coming too fast, we have to find a place to hide!" Alice shouted, but her voice was almost blown away by the wind.

The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and every step became extremely difficult. The feet stepped into the snow, as if they were sucked tightly by the cold.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, constantly hitting their faces and bodies, blocking their vision. The surrounding plants were quickly covered with ice and snow, and the ground became muddy.

Every time they took a step, there would be a cold creaking sound under their feet, as if they were stepping into an increasingly deep ice cave.

Su Ming squinted his eyes, and he could hardly see the direction in front of him. The snowflakes hitting his face made him almost unable to open his eyes. He looked back at Alice and the tiger following them. The tiger was no exception. The snow had covered its back. The cold wind made it shiver from time to time, as if trying to dispel the cold.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. It was almost impossible to see the road ahead. The sky became darker and darker, as if the whole world was blocked in this blizzard.

Alice was anxious. If they did not find shelter in time and continued to move forward in such weather, they would most likely be frostbitten or even lost their way.

"We have to find a shelter quickly. The wind and snow are too strong. If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for long." Alice shouted while struggling to move forward in the blizzard, silently praying in her heart that she could find a safe shelter.

As the blizzard continued to rage, the originally rich forest resources began to decrease sharply. Due to the influence of the bad weather, all the wild animals seemed to disappear without a trace. They either hid or migrated to warmer places, completely avoiding the invasion of wind and snow. This made the surrounding environment unusually quiet, as if the entire mountain range was trapped in an icy silence.

After a few days, Su Ming and Alice have felt the pressure of shortage of supplies. Although their team had made certain preparations before departure, the continuous blizzards made it difficult to implement all plans.

Food and water sources gradually decreased, especially water sources. Due to the blizzard, the surface water sources have been blocked by ice and snow and are difficult to obtain. The rich second generation who have long been accustomed to luxurious life began to feel uncomfortable. They were unprepared for such extreme situations.

"It has been several days. When will it stop!" Zhao Yihan complained, and her body kept shivering because of the cold.

Her face was pale and looked particularly weak. She had never thought that she would suffer from the cold in such a place before. She wrapped her coat tightly, but she couldn't stop the invasion of the cold wind.

"We have to eat something! I'm so hungry that I can't hold on." Han Mingxuan couldn't help complaining at this time. He originally thought that he could cope with any outdoor adventure with wisdom and equipment, but in the face of this harsh environment, his high-tech equipment was completely useless.

There is no power supply, no heating, and even a hot meal is difficult to guarantee.

Although Zhou Zihao remained calm on the surface, he gradually felt the weakness of his body. After all, the life of a rich man's son made him never experience such a difficult test. His face was tired, and his body began to feel the double pressure of hunger and cold.

"There is nothing here, and we can't even drink water." Li Junyu's voice was anxious. He was originally the most stable, but now the situation is getting worse and worse, and even he began to lose confidence.

"Is there any food? Where is the water?" Zhao Yihan's voice was sharp and extremely anxious.

"Don't argue, I'm also trying to find a way." Zhou Zihao responded impatiently, but there was obvious helplessness in his eyes.

The blizzard continued to rage, and the rich second generation was already starving, completely without the scenery of the past. They were used to a luxurious life, but now in order to survive, they could only look for grass roots in the snow.

Zhao Yihan's hands were red from the cold. She trembled as she pulled out a withered grass root from the snow. Her eyes were full of despair and disgust. She was a famous rich lady in Kyoto. Normally, she would lose her temper if the food she ate was not to her taste. But now, she had to eat this tasteless grass root. It was like being in a nightmare.

"This is really the worst day of my life." Zhao Yihan muttered, trying to stuff the grass roots into her mouth while making disgusted sounds. The grass roots were hard and astringent, and had no nutrition at all. She couldn't swallow it after two bites.

Han Mingxuan was not much better. He tried to dig out some edible things from the surrounding plants, but most of the grass roots were either frozen or had no edible value at all. He picked up a slightly fresher grass root and took a bite, but he almost broke his teeth because it was too hard. In the end, he could only throw it away in frustration: "This thing is inedible!"

Zhou Zihao's face was heavy, and he resisted the hunger in his heart and leaned against the tree trunk beside him. He had been trying to maintain his demeanor as a leader, but even he couldn't keep calm in such a harsh environment.

"We can't go on like this..." Li Junyu whispered, holding a handful of frozen grass roots in his hand, his eyes full of despair, "If we can't find food again, we won't be able to survive for a few days."

Just as the rich second generation dug grass roots and ate them in a miserable state, Su Ming and Alice on the other side were enjoying a delicious feast in sharp contrast.

The tiger seemed to have become accustomed to being their "supplier". Every once in a while, it would bring back fresh prey from the depths of the rainforest. This time, the tiger dragged back a fat hare, with a bit of flattering in its eyes, as if it was showing its courtesy to Su Ming and Alice.

Alice looked at the prey brought by the tiger and smiled: "This tiger is so considerate. It delivers food to us every day, which is even more punctual than takeout."

Su Ming nodded, took out the tools he carried with him, and began to handle the hare skillfully. Although he was young, he was very hands-on. He handled the prey in a short time and slowly roasted it on the campfire. As the hare sizzled on the fire, the aroma gradually spread, and the tender rabbit meat was roasted golden and crispy, making people salivate.

Alice couldn't help licking her lips, took out her knife and fork, and couldn't wait to enjoy this delicious meal. She took a bite of the rabbit meat, the meat was tender and delicious, completely beyond her expectations: "It's delicious! You are really good at it."

Su Ming smiled slightly, and he also began to enjoy this sumptuous barbecue meal. Compared with the embarrassment of the rich second generation, they seemed relaxed and comfortable.

The rich second generation not far away smelled the meat aroma in the air, raised their heads, and their faces were full of astonishment and envy. Zhao Yihan looked at the bonfire next to Su Ming and Alice, and the fragrant roasted rabbit, and almost cried: "They actually have meat to eat! This is so unfair!"

"We can only chew grass roots, but they are eating barbecue?!" Han Mingxuan's face was livid, and he was almost dizzy with hunger. Looking at the fragrant bonfire, his heart was full of helplessness and jealousy.

Several rich second-generations chewed their dissatisfaction in the bitterness of grass roots, and their stomachs growled more and more. Zhao Yihan was the first one who couldn't help it. She glanced at the tent of Su Ming and Alice in the distance, and secretly calculated in her heart that she felt that she couldn't continue to support herself.

"I really can't stand it anymore!" She stood up suddenly and kicked the grass roots on the ground, with a sly light in her eyes, "Don't they have meat? Let's go ask them for some!"

"Are you crazy? Why should they give us good things?" Han Mingxuan frowned. Although he was hungry, he was still uneasy about Zhao Yihan's proposal.

Zhou Zihao pinched his chin, thinking: "We can go and ask for some first and see the situation. They must not have much in their hands. If they are unwilling to give... we can think of other ways."

"Yes, there are so many of us anyway, we can't be rejected, right?" Li Junyu also nodded in agreement. He also felt the torture of hunger and felt that there was no point in waiting.

After a few people conspired, they decided to ask Su Ming for food with a soft attitude. As soon as it got dark, the rich second generation couldn't hold back, and walked towards Su Ming and Alice with fake smiles on their faces.

"Um...Su Ming, Alice, can you give us some food?" Zhao Yihan spoke first, with a hint of pity in her tone, "We are all starving, and we can't even find anything decent. We really can't hold on any longer."

Su Ming glanced at these embarrassed rich second-generations, and felt a little funny in his heart, but out of kindness, he nodded and gave them some dried meat and fruits from the food reserves in the camp: "Okay, I'll give you some, but remember not to waste it."

The rich second-generations took the food and thanked them on the surface, but they were not satisfied in their hearts. The greed in Zhao Yihan's eyes flashed, how could this little dried meat and fruit be enough for them? She made up her mind to wait until night to steal some real good things from their tents.

After returning to their camp, Zhao Yihan whispered to the others: "How can this be enough for us? Su Ming and Alice must have hidden some good things. Let's steal some more at night."

Zhou Zihao's eyes flashed with hesitation, but hunger eventually overcame reason: "Okay, anyway, they shouldn't notice it after dark."

Although Han Mingxuan was a little worried, he nodded helplessly: "Let's do it, anyway, it's better not to steal."

Li Junyu was even more silent. Although he was uneasy in his heart, he did not object.

After they discussed the plan, they decided to take action in the dead of night. Zhao Yihan was responsible for keeping watch, while Zhou Zihao and Li Junyu were responsible for sneaking into Su Ming and Alice's tent. They planned not to alarm Su Ming, but just to quietly take some food.

The night gradually became darker, and the wind and snow weakened a little. The rich second generation waited until Su Ming and Alice rested, and then sneaked up to their camp. Zhao Yihan stared at the surroundings nervously to make sure there was no other movement, while Zhou Zihao and Li Junyu tiptoed to the tent, full of expectations.

"Be gentle and don't make any noise." Zhou Zihao reminded Li Junyu softly, and the two tried to slow down their movements, carefully uncovered a corner of the tent, and secretly looked inside.

When Zhou Zihao, Li Junyu and Zhao Yihan took a lot of supplies secretly taken from Su Ming and Alice's tent and were about to sneak away, they had no idea that the tiger that had been silently guarding Su Ming in the dark was staring at them.

The tiger was hidden in the dark, and its eyes with dim light were firmly locked on these thieves. It felt threatened and uneasy, and immediately got out of the grass, roared softly, and slowly approached the few people.

Zhao Yihan was the first to notice the abnormality. She turned her head suddenly, and her pupils suddenly shrank: "Oh my God! That's... that tiger!"

Zhou Zihao also turned his head suddenly, and his face turned pale instantly. He saw the huge tiger slowly approaching them, and its sharp claws scratched deep marks on the snow, as if it would pounce on them and tear them apart at any time.

"Run!" Zhou Zihao shouted almost before his brain reacted. He threw down the supplies in his hand, turned around and ran away.

Li Junyu and Zhao Yihan were also frightened by the sudden fear and lost their minds. They followed Zhou Zihao and fled quickly, not caring about taking any supplies.

When the tiger saw them running away, it let out a deafening roar and quickly chased after them. Its huge body moved very flexibly in the snow, and its rapid steps soon approached several people.

Zhao Yihan ran the fastest, but her high heels were completely unsuitable for running wildly in the snow. She slipped and fell heavily to the ground. She screamed and climbed up, and the snow mud on her legs made her move even slower. The tiger's breathing was getting closer and closer. Zhao Yihan was so scared that her face turned pale and her heartbeat seemed to jump out of her chest.

"Help!" She cried, tears flowing down uncontrollably.

Zhou Zihao and Li Junyu didn't care about Zhao Yihan at this moment. They just ran for their lives, but their steps were flustered, and the snow and wind and snow around them made their vision blurred. The tiger's roar echoed in their ears, and the huge figure seemed to pounce on them at any time.

"We are in big trouble!" Li Junyu ran and panted, full of regret, feeling that he should not have participated in this theft.

The more they ran, the more embarrassed they became. They fell to the ground from time to time, and struggled to get up and continue to flee with their hands and feet. The tiger followed closely behind them, and from time to time it made threatening growls, as if waiting for the opportunity to pounce on them in one fell swoop.

In the end, the few people ran out of the camp in a panic, stumbled back to their tents, and were scared out of their wits. Zhao Yihan's face was full of tears, Zhou Zihao and Li Junyu were also out of breath, their clothes and shoes were soaked by snow water, and they were in a mess.

"Damn tiger!" Zhao Yihan's voice trembled, and he hid behind Zhou Zihao with a terrified face, "I won't dare to do it again!"
