Extreme Cold Apocalypse: My Shelter is Full of Beautiful Women

Chapter 31: Selling.

"I already said, these wolves were killed by my arrow towers."

Ye Yan stood at the entrance of the stairwell, his voice not loud, but every word pierced the ears of everyone present like nails: "The corpse is mine, and the flint is mine too."

He glanced at everyone present, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Anyone who wants to take them can. Take one, and you'll leave a hand behind. Take two, and you'll save your life."

No one spoke. No one moved.

Those who had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos quietly retreated into the shadows.

The fat guy was the first to jump out.

"Brother Ye! I'll collect them for you! I guarantee not a single one will be missing!"

Before Ye Yan could answer, he rushed into the pile of wolf carcasses, bent down, rummaged through the wolves, picked them up, and put them away, his movements as swift as if he were pulling radishes from his own vegetable garden.

Soon, the cloth bag in his hand was half full.

His gloves were covered in blood, but he didn't care.

His face was blue from the cold, but he didn't care.

Shen Xinyi glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

The tall, thin guy followed.

Ah Jie stood still, his feet seemingly nailed to the snow, completely motionless.

Looking at the fat man's fawning face, he felt a wave of nausea.

After the battlefield was cleared, Ye Yan's number of flints increased from five hundred to six hundred and eighty.

enough.

"Go upstairs."

At Ye Yan's command, the fat man and his men, carrying sacks full of flint, followed him eagerly.

Qi Rushuang held his left arm, and Le Wuyou draped her arm over his right arm. The group entered the building in a grand procession.

For buildings without arrow towers, several people had to be left to patrol downstairs.

Those people huddled at the entrance of the building, wrapped in thick cotton-padded coats, shivering from the cold.

Looking at the brightly lit and warmly decorated Building 4, they didn't know what to feel.

Room 404.

As soon as the door closed, Le Wuyou kicked off her boots, stepping barefoot onto the carpet, and let out a satisfied sigh: "It's so much more comfortable inside—"

Qi Rushuang took off her blood-stained coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door. Her movements were very light and slow, as if she was delaying something.

Because she knew what would happen next.

"come over."

Ye Yan sat on the sofa and waved to her.

Qi Rushuang bit her lip and walked over.

As soon as she reached the sofa, Ye Yan reached out and pulled her, causing her to fall into his arms.

"ah"

Her scream was silenced by Ye Yan's lips.

Le Wuyou rolled her eyes, picked up the doll, and sat down with her back to the sofa: "Can't you guys be a little more mindful of the occasion? There are innocent female college students here!"

Nobody paid any attention to her.

Upon seeing this, Yue Wuyou was about to say something when she vaguely recalled the cruel scene of Ye Yan decisively killing people below, and immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Hmm"

Qi Rushuang was breathless from the kiss, and tried to push Ye Yan's chest away with her hands, but she couldn't push him away no matter what she did.

She wanted to be angry, wanted to curse, and wanted to maintain the last bit of dignity she had as a teacher.

But Ye Yan's lips were very hot.

His hands were very hot.

He was like a ball of fire, melting her heart, which had been cold for so long, little by little.

"Bullying the teacher—"

Ye Yan released her, looked into her hazy eyes, and smiled slightly.

"I'll continue after I finish upgrading."

Qi Rushuang's face turned as red as if it were burning, and she turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Ye Yan stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Six hundred and eighty flints were piled up in front of me, like a small, dark red mountain.

He took a deep breath, and the sacred flame appeared in his palm.

Should we upgrade the Order Flame?

Current Level: LV1

[Level after upgrade: LV2]

[Required flints: 500]

[Upgrade Effects: Range increased to 50 meters, energy limit increased, new blueprints unlocked]

"upgrade."

Five hundred flints ignited simultaneously.

Golden flames engulfed the entire room.

But the temperature wasn't scorching.

It was a warm, soft light, like sunlight.

Le Wuyou and Qi Rushuang involuntarily closed their eyes, bathing in the light, as if they had returned to that warm afternoon before the apocalypse.

Five minutes later.

The flames died down.

Ye Yan opened his eyes, and in his pupils, a golden flame was burning.

Then it slowly faded away, returning to its normal black color.

But the changes are real.

He could sense it.

The area covered by the Olympic flame has been expanded from five meters to fifty meters.

The entire Building 4, plus the surrounding open space, and if he wanted, the other buildings, including Buildings 2, 3, and 5, would all be under his protection.

If someone were below, they could see that the flames of those arrow towers were noticeably brighter than before.

The energy cap has been increased, and all connected creations have been strengthened.

The panel has been refreshed:

[Sequence: Shelter]

[Core: Holy Flame of Order (LV2)]

[Range: 50 meters]

【解锁新图纸：圣光塔（LV2）、供暖管道（LV1）、温室大棚（LV1）、火把（LV1）、捕兽夹（LV1）————】

"Holy Light Tower?" Ye Yan clicked on it and took a look.

[Holy Light Tower (LV2): Requires 50 flint, 30 refined iron, and 30 wood. Effect: Deals continuous holy light burn damage to enemies within a 50-meter radius; damage is doubled against undead/insect/corrupted units.]

Ye Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

Damage to corrupted units is doubled.

He had never seen a corrupted unit.

"Ye Yan, what are you daydreaming about?"

Le Wuyou came closer and his eyes lit up when he saw the new blueprints.

"Heating pipes? Greenhouses? You can grow vegetables now?"

"more than."

Ye Yan got out of bed and walked to the table.

He casually picked up a wooden stick, and the sacred flame danced at his fingertips, turning the stick into a torch.

【火把（LV1）：需要材料木条×1，火石×1。效果：提供1米範围的温暖，持续1小时。】

He then picked up a piece of iron and a flint, and the sacred fire fused with the animal trap.

【Bear Trap (LV1): Requires 1 Iron and 1 Flint. Effect: Inflicts binding and burning damage on small prey.】

"What are you going to do?" Le Wuyou asked, puzzled, looking at the pile of torches and animal traps on the table.

Ye Yan smiled and took out his phone.

"Sell."

Ye Yan posted a message in the community group:

【叶言：出售火把。1火石/根。买10送1。效果：点燃后提供1米範围的温暖，持续1

Hours. Door-to-door delivery available.

The news caused an uproar in the group chat.

[Really? Can torches really keep you warm?]

[Ye Yan, you have something like this? Why didn't you say so sooner!]

【I want it! I want ten!】

But some people caused trouble.

One flint? Why don't you just rob someone?

[Exactly! It's so cold outside, you're profiting from the national crisis!]

[Don't buy it, let him keep it!]

Ye Yan glanced at the messages, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and was about to type—

[Xu Qiang: I've already bought 20. Don't worry, the torches really work; I've used them myself.]

The moment this message was posted, the sentiment in the group changed immediately.
