After Leader Lan Yan said that, Chen Chu knew that he probably wouldn't be able to find the "snow disaster" by himself, but he still didn't give up and searched twice before returning to the headquarters.
The atmosphere in Guan Zeyang's office was very solemn. Just now, problems began to appear in Hai Province's living facilities. Cables and wires in some areas were frozen, cracked, and broken, resulting in large-scale power outages. Although power workers were already repairing them, the speed of repairs could not keep up with the speed of damage. This was just the beginning. There was even a thin layer of ice on the sea surface in Hai Province. If even the sea could freeze, what about the water pipes in the city? Once the water pipes were frozen and could not flow out, drinking water would become a problem. Citizens have not yet realized that once the first water pipe freezes, citizens will definitely go out to the supermarket to buy water, and then there will be chaos.
"We must find the 'snowstorm' as soon as possible." Guan Zeyang could not tolerate the appearance of panic. He looked directly at Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, go and find it."
Chen Chu was stunned when he heard this. After he came back, he reported his meeting with the leader of Lan Yan and the fact that he had not found the "Snow Disaster" props, but he did not say that Lin Xi could find the props.
How did Guan Chuzai know this? Did Lin Xi tell him herself
Just as Lin Yan was about to agree, Chen Chuxian rejected her request: "No."
"Why not?" Guan Zeyang looked at Chen Chu seriously.
"I think the leader of Blue Flame deliberately placed the 'snow disaster' in Hai Province for Lin Yan." Chen Chu said quickly, "Lin Yan is the key to opening the Heavenly Realm. The people of Blue Flame have always wanted to capture her. When we were in Chishui, we were besieged by Blue Flame once."
"We have also considered this, but besides letting Lin Yan go, do you have any other way to find the 'Snow Disaster'?" Guan Zeyang asked.
Chen Chu certainly had no solution. If there was, he would have already found the snow disaster: "But the goal of the Blue Flame leader is to completely activate the catastrophic props. This is just one of them. Once Lin Yan is taken away by him, the next one may be two or three."
Guan Zeyang knew all that Chen Chu said. In fact, after Lin Xi said that Lan Yan's purpose of this trip might be against her, he had already thought about all of this.
Guan Zeyang: "But if we leave it alone, Hai Province will be in complete chaos. Moreover, if Lan Yan's purpose is to find Lin Yan, then even if we don't let Lin Yan go this time, Lan Yan will not give up. You also said that this is just one of the catastrophic props. Are we going to allow them to continue to place catastrophic props in China?"
If Lan Yan really placed all the catastrophic props in China, he didn't know whether the earth would collapse at that time, but China would definitely collapse. Therefore, catastrophic props could no longer appear in China.
Chen Chu understood what Director Guan meant. As long as Lin Yan was not in China, the next catastrophic props, Blue Flame, would not target China. He knew that after losing Lin Yan, the Earth would become more dangerous, but at this moment, he had to save China first. They still had time to deal with the rest.
Chen Chu felt extremely uncomfortable because he found that this matter had almost no solution. Lin Yan had to fall into this trap no matter what.
"I'll go." Lin Xi spoke, breaking the silence in the office. In fact, as early as when she guessed that Leader Lan Yan came for the system, she knew she couldn't hide.
Seeing that everyone in the office was looking at her, Lin Yan tried to be optimistic and said, "I am the key to opening the Heavenly Realm. Leader Blue Flame will not kill me."
"That's right. At least you are safe from this point of view." Guan Zeyang also said, "And I will let the Kunlun team protect you. The people from Lanyan may not be able to take you away."
"Have you forgotten my prediction just now?" Xiao Wen, who had not spoken since Chen Chu came back, suddenly spoke.
Guan Zeyang: “…” I’m mobilizing my subordinates, why are you talking about prophecy at this time
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mr. Hua coughed and expressed his concerns: "In fact, there is still one thing that needs to be resolved. If this matter cannot be resolved, even if we find the 'snow disaster', it will not be of much significance."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Mr. Hua.
"How to deal with the catastrophic props that have been activated? Can they be sent into the subspace smoothly like the geomagnetic map?" Old Hua expressed his doubts.
Yes, the reason why the geomagnetic map was able to be recovered before was because it was in an inactivated state at that time, but the current "snow disaster" has obviously been activated.
If we find the "snowstorm" but cannot seal it, what's the point of looking for it
"That..." Just when everyone was frustrated and annoyed because the "snowstorm" could not be sealed, Lin Yan raised her hand slightly. She had just graduated, so she still had the habit of raising her hand to speak in class.
After everyone's eyes turned to her, she whispered, "I think it should be able to be sealed."
"Do you have a solution?" Mr. Hua asked anxiously.
"No, it should have been sealed, just like 'drought'." Lin Xi reminded.
As in “drought”
It had only been an afternoon since Chen Chu submitted the "drought" report in the conference room, and Director Guan still remembered what he said at the meeting. After a moment's recollection, he understood what Lin Yan meant.
Guan Zeyang: "You mean, 'Snowstorm' is the same as 'Drought', there are seals left by the 28 constellations in the props."
Elder Hua also understood and continued, "That's right, Lan Yan's 'Snow Disaster' was also obtained from the subspace. The spirit that sealed this item must have also set a seal on the item like the Lord of Redwater City to facilitate Earth's recycling."
Chen Chu glanced at Lin Yan with a complicated expression. Lin Yan took the initiative to bring up this matter that everyone else had ignored, which meant that she was really willing to go. Chen Chu didn't want Lin Yan to take risks, but he also respected her choice.
Finally, Director Guan decided to let Lin Yan go to Hai Province to look for the "snow disaster". He sent eight members of the Kunlun team to accompany her for protection. The leader of the team was Guihuo, the captain of the Kunlun team who was guarding outside his office.
"Ghost Fire, protect Lin Xi. Even if you all die in battle, you must protect her." Before leaving, Guan Zeyang said to the captain of the Kunlun team.
Regarding protecting an unknown person, Will-O-Ghost did not raise any questions, but saluted Director Guan firmly: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
Lin Xi felt a lot of pressure listening to the conversation between the two. She really wanted to say that it was not necessary, but because of the atmosphere at the scene, she did not dare to speak.
At this time, the space channel had been opened. In order to ensure that Chen Chu's combat effectiveness would not be affected, the official specially found another S-level psychic to build the space channel for shuttle.
"Let's go." Chen Chu had been standing beside Lin Yan. At this moment, he suddenly reached out and held Lin Yan's hand.
Lin Xi nodded, and walked towards the space channel with Chen Chu.
Because there were many people to be transported this time and the distance was far, the space channel was a bit long, about a hundred meters. A distance of a hundred meters was a bit long for a space channel, but it only took a few minutes to walk. Before stepping out of the space channel, Chen Chu suddenly held Lin Yan's hand tightly.
Lin Yan looked up in surprise, and heard Chen Chu's words as if to promise: "I will protect you, don't be afraid."
The strong sense of security transmitted through the tightly clenched hands made Lin Xi's heartbeat begin to become uncontrollable.
"It's colder than before." Chen Chu also felt the change in temperature. He had been here before, and it was just an hour ago. But with just an hour's time difference, Hai Province has become colder.
"It's at least minus 15 degrees Celsius." Feishuang said, "And the temperature is still dropping."
She is an ice-type mutant and she didn't suffer any serious injuries in Chishui, so she also came to the Hai Province mission this time.
"How bad will this 'snowstorm' get?" A member of the Kunlun team couldn't help but ask.
"Frozen." Lin Xi said.
"What?" Seeing that Lin Yan seemed to know, the members of Kunlun team all looked over curiously.
Lin Xi did not hide it and told everyone what she had learned from the system about the "snow disaster". The system told her: "The 'snow disaster' is different from the 'geophysical map'. After the geophysical map forms an earthquake, it will enter a dormant period. During the dormant period, the geophysical map will absorb the energy it has gained from the disaster, and then expand its territory. Although the casualties caused by the 'snow disaster' are not as rapid as those caused by the 'geophysical map', they are more numerous. The 'snow disaster' will not actively go into dormancy. It will absorb energy while expanding its coverage. The area covered by the 'snow disaster' will not stop snowing until everything is frozen."
"This is too much, can it freeze the entire Earth?" Someone didn't believe it, "I haven't seen the subspace covered with ice and snow."
That's because the subspace we see may only be a very small part of the universe.
Lin Xi complained in her heart but did not speak out her guess.
"No matter what harm it does, the purpose of our trip is to seal it." Will-o'-the-wisp interrupted everyone's discussion, then looked at Lin Yan, "Can you sense the 'snow disaster'?"
Lin Yan called the system in her heart: "System."
Just with a call, Lin Xi felt a pain in her eyes. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw a beam of light between heaven and earth.
"There." Lin Xi raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the light column.
Everyone looked up, but saw nothing. Chen Chu quickly determined the direction: "That's the bay."
Is the “snow disaster” in the sea
With a clear direction, everyone headed for the bay together. Chen Chu took Lin Yan and flew straight all the way. The members of the Kunlun team all had flying props, so they flew straight from the sky. Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the Sea King, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way.
Chen Chu looked at the beach that had completely turned into snow and asked, "Where is it?"
"There." Lin pointed to a protrusion in the snow. Although the protrusion was covered with ice and snow, the outline of a castle could be vaguely seen. There must be a sand castle built by a child.
Did the Blue Flame leader just casually throw the catastrophic prop on the beach
The progress was too smooth, and Chen Chu always felt uneasy.
"Feishhuang, come with me and take a look." Guihuo said to Chen Chu who was looking over, "Protect Lin Yan, let's go check it out first."
Chen Chu thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed the safest way, so he nodded and said, "Be careful."
Will-O'-the-Wisp led Feishuang towards the sand castle. The two were on high alert, but nothing happened when they got closer. Finally, Will-O'-the-Wisp crouched down and used his weapon to dig open the sand castle. But the moment he reached out to touch the sand castle, an extremely cold force came through and instantly froze him into an ice sculpture.
“Don’t…” When Guihuo saw Feishuang trying to reach out and touch him, he tried desperately to stop her, but after he said just one word, his body was completely frozen.
Feishuang, who tried to rescue the Will-O-Ghost, turned his hand into an ice sculpture the moment it touched the Will-O-Ghost's arm.
"Captain, Feishuang!" The members of Kunlun team screamed in surprise. Two of them even wanted to run over, but were knocked to the ground by Chen Chu's gust of wind.
"Oh no, it's a frost cage, let's go." In Lin Xi's mind, the system suddenly issued a warning, and the tone was more urgent than ever before.
"Hurry up and go!" Lin Yan didn't even bother to ask what the frost cage was, and hurriedly reminded Chen Chu.
Chen Chu also reacted quickly, holding Lin Yan's waist with one hand, and jumped up to fly away. But at the moment he flew up, the ice and snow in the world seemed to come alive. The snowflakes on the ground and the snowflakes in the sky were connected together, and each snowflake seemed to be connected by an invisible line, instantly blocking the world. Then those lines became tighter and tighter, and finally formed a snowball without a single gap, trapping everyone inside. At the same time, the power of extreme cold emerged, and in just a few breaths, except for Chen Chu and Lin Yan who was protected by him, everyone else turned into ice sculptures.
Chen Chu stared at the huge snowball in shock. It was such a powerful supernatural item, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
The moment Lin Xi turned around, she inadvertently touched the ice chair behind her, and a familiar system introduction appeared in front of her eyes.
[Name: Frost Cage.]
[Guide to use: A certain icy warrior has a crush on a powerful astrologer, but he cannot get her. He spent three hundred years making a frost cage that can block the secrets of heaven, trying to imprison the astrologer first and then fall in love with him. This item can be placed in the wind and snow to block the secrets of heaven, and no one can detect it.]
[Hint: The frost cage can only be broken by the tears of the astrologer. A certain icy warrior once said that he could not bear to see you sad, so he had to let you go. It was really touching.]
"Fuck you, this is the prop you gave to the Blue Flame leader." Lin Yan was almost mad, "You gave me the prop, but you didn't find it in advance."
"This is a prop that can block the secrets of heaven." The system explained.
"You still think you're right!" Lin Xi yelled.
The system was as quiet as a chicken and dared not refute.
