The base in front of Nie Lu, called Winter Home, is located in a huge deep pit. This deep pit can effectively help keep warm and block some of the cold currents. This terrain is the prerequisite for the development of Winter Home.
Right in the middle of the giant pit stands the most important equipment of Winter House, an energy tower, which is the source of heat for the entire base.
The edge closest to the base is something like a lighthouse. When night falls, the huge balloon rising from the top of the lighthouse will emit white light, guiding all those who leave back home.
At the edge of the base, several guards wearing cotton jackets and holding swords or crossbows stood at the door of the outpost dispatch station.
Although the name of this dispatching station sounds impressive, it is actually a large elevator that is used to pick up and drop off people leaving and returning. There are two dispatching stations, located symmetrically on both sides of the base.
When Nie Lu and his team arrived, the hunters from Winter House were coming up from the base via the dispatch station. Each hunter was fully armed. They were ready to go to the ice field to check their traps and bring the captured food back to the base.
These foods account for 70 percent of the base's food supply, and the remaining food comes from several greenhouses within the base.
Everyone who passed by Nie Lu along the way looked at him strangely, because Nie Lu was now like a mobile heater, and the warmth moved with him.
Although this warmth is very attractive, strict discipline and firm belief make most people stick to their posts.
Only such a survivor base will have the spare capacity to search for the remaining survivors on the vast ice field.
Nie Lu quickened his pace and walked towards the energy tower. The leader's office was around the energy tower.
The leader of Winter House was the most far-sighted person Nie Lu had ever met. When the base was first built, he ignored the opposition of most people and spent a lot of effort to send people to some nearby cities to collect mechanical cores.
These collected mechanical cores were later transformed into giant robots in the factory, and the subsequent snowstorms also confirmed that the leader's choice was indeed correct.
Without these robots during those snowy days, they might have to sacrifice the lives of countless companions to dig coal to keep the energy tower running.
Not long after moving forward, Nie Lu saw the leader, who was conducting a routine inspection of the energy tower with some engineers next to it.
As soon as the range of fifty meters was reached, the leader instantly felt the change in the surrounding temperature.
"Nie Lu?!" The leader turned around and looked at the source of the heat in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Ten minutes later, in the chief's office, two people were having a conversation.
"I understand what you mean. If there really is such a spell, it will definitely be good news for the base." The leader looked at Nie Lu and said.
The heater in the room has been turned off, but thanks to the magic, it is still as warm as spring.
"Yes, I hurried back because I was afraid that I couldn't learn this spell." Nie Lu explained as he took out the post from his arms and placed it on the table.
"You...what are you doing?"
The leader blinked and asked in confusion. From his perspective, Nie Lu seemed to be carefully holding an invisible object and then putting it on the table.
"Take the post." Nie Lu explained, and then looking at the leader's puzzled face, he also understood something, "Can't you see it?"
The leader shook his head, "I didn't see anything."
"How could this happen?!" Nie Lu was stunned, "How is this possible?!"
"Don't worry." The leader stood up, his brain working quickly, "Didn't you say that the magician wanted to give you a chance? Maybe only you can see this thing. So, let me call some people in to confirm the situation."
Nie Lu nodded, keeping his hand on the post, as if afraid that it would suddenly disappear.
A few minutes later, after more than a dozen engineers took turns entering the office, Nie Lu sighed. The leader was right. Only he could see this post.
"It seems that this heavy responsibility will finally fall on you." After the last engineer left, the leader patted Nie Lu on the shoulder and said.
Nie Lu wiped his face. He felt the pressure on him suddenly increase. "I will try my best. Should I open it now?"
"Don't worry, I'll prepare something for you. I think learning magic won't be that easy. You might encounter danger." The leader said as he opened the drawer, took out a pistol and placed it in front of Nie Lu.
"I've had this gun for more than ten years. I've always taken good care of it, so it's still usable. Now I'm handing it over to you. Please use it well."
Nie Lu took a deep breath, picked up the only pistol in the base, turned it twice, and then scratched his head, "But I don't know how to use it."
"It's a small problem. There are still a few hours left. I have called the police captain over. He will give you assault training later. Just master the basic skills of shooting before leaving. After all, this thing is more useful than a shovel or something." The leader explained.
A few hours later, the spell only lasted half an hour. Nie Lu sat in the room specially prepared for him and solemnly opened the post.
A flash of light passed by, and Nie Lu left this place along the world channel.
In the main god space, Qi Yun, who was busy analyzing the Destroyer, raised his head. He felt that the post he sent out had been opened by someone.
"Qi Qi, come here, I need you to do something." Qi Yun shouted.
Then, a portal opened next to Qi Yun and Qi Qi jumped out of the portal.
"The people from the Ice World have arrived. You just need to arrange a suitable task for him that is not too difficult." Qi Yun ordered.
"I understand." Qi Qi nodded, "Sir, don't you need to give him some preferential treatment? The mortality rate in the novice world is not low."
"No need to take special care of him. You can help him once but not a second time. Only those who save themselves can truly save themselves." Qi Yun continued.
"I understand." Qi Qi said and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Qi Yun suddenly stopped Qi Qi, thought for a while, looked up at Qi Qi and said, "Well, you go and adjust the internal system and give him the opportunity to ask three questions, so that he won't be like a headless fly."
"OK."
These three questions will be Qi Yun’s last help to Nie Lu. If Nie Lu dies in the mission world, we can only feel regret for him.
The situation in the Ice World is too bad. The Main God Space, which has just awakened, can't help much, because if it helps with all its strength, this burden will be enough to cause the development speed of the Main God Space to plummet.
