Xiao Yi nodded: "I discovered this place a long time ago, but I never moved. Now, it's time."

He entered the password, and the heavy iron door slowly opened. Inside was a pile of various supplies: food, medicine, weapons, and even several sets of specially made winter clothing.

"How do you know this place?" Lin Yuxuan asked in disbelief.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "I used to be the security director here. I was on duty before this cold wave hit."

The little girl suddenly pointed to a box in the corner and asked, "What's that?"

Xiao Yi walked over and opened the box. Inside was a strange device, like some kind of signal transmitter.

"Is this... equipment from the weather station?" Lin Yuxuan recognized the logo on it.

"That's right," Xiao Yi's expression turned serious, "This may be the goal of the Icemen. They have been looking for ways to control the weather."

Suddenly, there was a tremor on the ground. Xiao Yi quickly ran to the monitoring screen, his face changed drastically.

"They're dropping 'purifying agent,'" he said, pointing to the canisters being dropped from helicopters on the screen. "It's a chemical that instantly lowers the temperature locally, freezing people into ice sculptures in minutes."

Lin Yuxuan gasped: "We must stop them!"

Xiao Yi shook his head: "With our current strength, it is impossible. But..." His eyes fell on the meteorological equipment, "If we can interfere with their signal..."

"How?"

Xiao Yi quickly operated the equipment: "This weather station equipment can emit electromagnetic waves of a special frequency, which can theoretically interfere with their control system. But..."

"But what?"

"Someone needs to go to the ground to adjust the direction of the antenna," Xiao Yi looked at the two sisters, "which means being exposed to the range of the purifier."

Lin Yuxuan and her sister looked at each other and said at the same time: "I'll go!"

"No!" Xiao Yi flatly refused, "It's too dangerous."

"But we're the only ones familiar with the ground conditions," Lin Yuxuan insisted, "and my sister can help me."

Xiao Yi wanted to say something, but the ground shook even more violently. On the surveillance screen, some buildings had already begun to freeze.

"There's no time to argue," Lin Yuxuan said, grabbing a winter jacket. "Tell us what to do."

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and quickly explained the steps: "Remember, you only have five minutes. After five minutes, whether you succeed or not, you must withdraw."

The two sisters nodded and quickly put on their winter clothes. Xiao Yi handed them a small communicator: "Keep in touch."

Watching the two sisters disappear at the end of the passage, Xiao Yi clenched his fists. He knew that this might be their last chance.

Lin Yuxuan's voice came from the communicator: "We've reached the surface. Oh my god... This place is like an ice sculpture exhibition..."

Xiao Yi quickly operated the equipment: "Have you found the antenna?"

"We found it, but..." Lin Yuxuan's voice suddenly turned horrified, "They found us!"

Gunshots and screams were heard from the communicator. Xiao Yi's heart was in his throat.

"Lin Yuxuan! Answer me!"

After a burst of noise, the little girl's cry was heard: "My sister was shot! She's bleeding!"

Xiao Yi stood up suddenly and was about to rush out. But at this moment, the device suddenly made a "beep" sound.

The jamming program was activated.

Xiao Yi forced himself to calm down and quickly adjusted the parameters. He knew that the most important thing now was to complete the interference program, otherwise Lin Yuxuan's sacrifice would be in vain.

Suddenly, Lin Yuxuan's weak voice came from the communicator: "Xiao Yi...we succeeded...the antenna has been adjusted..."

Xiao Yi's fingers moved quickly on the keyboard: "Hold on, I'll come to rescue you soon!"

"No..." Lin Yuxuan's voice became weaker and weaker, "Take good care of my sister... and... thank you..."

There was a sharp noise coming from the communicator, and then it was completely quiet.

Xiao Yi slammed his fist on the console, tears flashing in his eyes. But he knew that now was not the time to be sad.

He quickly gathered the necessary supplies and picked up the crying girl. "Let's go. Your sister risked her life to buy us time. We can't waste it."

The little girl hugged Xiao Yi's neck tightly, her tears soaking his collar.

As they climbed out of the underground tunnel, the sight before them was shocking. The Iceman's helicopter was falling, and the release of decontamination agents had stopped. But the entire area was frozen, like a giant ice sculpture exhibition.

In the distance, Lin Yuxuan's figure was forever frozen in the posture of adjusting the antenna, like an eternal monument.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and took the little girl's hand: "Let's go. There are still many survivors who need help, and there are still many Frozen ones who need to be fought. This war has just begun..."

Xiao Yi led Lin Xue through the frozen ruins, taking every step carefully. Although the purifier's range of influence had stopped spreading, the air was still filled with a biting chill.

"Brother Xiao Yi," Lin Xue suddenly stopped, "look over there!"

Xiao Yi looked in the direction she pointed and saw a faint flicker of fire in a half-collapsed building. That was a sign of human activity.

"Be careful," Xiao Yi whispered, "it might be a patrol of the Frozen Ones."

The two approached quietly and found that it was actually a small shelter. Through the broken window, they saw that there were more than a dozen people gathered inside, including the elderly, children, and a few people who looked like soldiers.
