Chapter 694 The Real Ice City

After parking the submarine and opening the hatch, the three of them stood on land again, gazing at the ice city ahead, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

...

In just four months, during the time they were away, the ice city had undergone a dramatic transformation.

If it was originally just a simple encampment surrounded by walls, then now it can truly be considered a city!

Its walls are no longer just three or four meters high; they seem to rise from the ground as if they were alive!

Now, these walls are over 40 meters high. Although they are still a little short of the 50-meter height that Qingyu requested, they are almost there.

It was noon, and the sunlight shone on the ice city, making it sparkle.

It's hard to imagine that such a magnificent and vast city was built mostly by human labor!

The three of them had observed this place via satellite when they were still at the headquarters of the bio-engineered humans, but only by standing in front of it in person and experiencing it up close could they feel the majestic grandeur of this ice city!

...

The fat man was completely stunned and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow! Brother Qingyu is really something! This kind of building is much more impressive than the pyramids!"

"Well……"

Han Shuo also came to his senses and unconsciously compared the two in his mind.

"It's still a bit short... After all, the pyramids were much more difficult to build, and their height is incomparable to that of the current Ice City."

After he finished speaking, he immediately added a sentence.

"However, I believe that with the passage of time, as long as we are willing to put in the effort, this ice city will one day surpass the pyramids!"

The fat man was incredibly excited and quickly joined in the shouting.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"Hahaha! I feel that this ice city might become a historical relic some years from now!"

"This is where we're about to fight the zombie king, and I played a part in it! I'm going to carve my name on the most prominent wall later!"

After hearing these words, Han Shuo chuckled and made a joke.

"What does it have to do with you? You didn't even build it!"

"Hmph! I helped them dig ice, okay..."

...

Just as the two were happily discussing the ice city, the gate below the city wall opened, and a large group of people rushed over.

At the same time, the wind disappeared without saying a word...

Looking in the direction where the wind had disappeared, Han Shuo sighed helplessly.

Sigh~

He knew that the wind ultimately refused to enter the Ice City...

...

The two quickly snapped out of their reverie, looked at the approaching crowd ahead, and smiled again.

In the crowd, who else could be standing at the very front but Qingyu?

His temples had turned grayer, but his eyes were full of energy!

Seeing Han Shuo and Fatty return safely, he finally felt at ease.

"Hahaha! You brats, you've finally come back!"

Qingyu laughed heartily, and after a brief greeting, without saying much, gave Han Shuo and Fatty a bear hug each!

...

The hug ended quickly, and Han Shuo's face showed an extremely excited smile. He stepped forward, nodded to his older brother, and said something.

"They're back! They're back!"

The words had barely faded, and before the two could even catch up, several more figures ran over from the crowd.

Li Shurou, Chen Hai, Xiao Zhao, and Lao Wu were all among them.

These were Han Shuo's closest friends. His smile grew even brighter as he opened his arms again, silently wishing himself well.

"Come on, everyone, come on, and feel the warmth of your captain's embrace!"

...

To everyone's surprise... no one paid him any attention...

Li Shurou was the first to rush into the fat man's arms, her eyes bloodshot as she buried her head in his chest.

"You, you, you... you're finally back."

Then, Xiao Zhao and Lao Wu's group surrounded the fat man.

"Haha, Fatty, have you guys encountered anything interesting on your journey? Tell me about it."

"You fatso, did you hold the two big shots back? By the way, did you take the photos I asked for? Give them to me now!"

"..."

...

A cacophony of voices rose around the fat man, creating a lively atmosphere, while Han Shuo stood frozen in place, like a stone statue.

His two arms were suspended in mid-air, neither raised nor lowered...

With a strange look on his face, Han Shuo glanced at the fat man, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Well……"

"I'm at least level 9.5 now, how can I be so shameless?"

"This captain's connections are... not even as good as Fatty's..."

Fortunately, his wounded heart was soothed in the next moment.

Chen Hai finally managed to squeeze through the crowd, ran over with a kind expression, and hugged him.

This made Han Shuo extremely satisfied, and he kept silently chanting to himself.

"Uncle Hai is the best, Uncle Hai is the best..."

...

After everyone finished catching up briefly, Qingyu waved his hand, quieting the atmosphere down.

"Alright, alright, you'll have plenty of time to talk when you get back."

"Don't stand here, it's freezing. Let's go, let's go into the city!"

"good!"

Han Shuo nodded and, accompanied by the others, entered the Ice City.

...

After entering the ice city, he and the fat man inevitably began to look around.

Sure enough, the city had become much more bustling, with people coming and going to work.

It is clear that in the past four months, the teams that Qingyu sent out have rescued many more survivors.

Besides these, Han Shuo also saw that many small igloos that were only half-built before were now completed. At this moment, everyone in the ice city had a suitable place to live.

...

The group chatted as they walked.

Survivors who passed by along the way, whether they recognized Han Shuo or not, would greet him in a friendly manner when they saw him.

Because they all knew that these two people had recently brought over a powerful allied force from the other side of the distant ocean for their side!

They all want to express their deepest respect to those who have made contributions!

Han Shuo and the fat man waved back with smiles on their faces...

...

Soon, Qingyu brought the two of them back to the ice villa where they lived.

Although he had so many questions he wanted to ask the two of them, he chose to leave this reunion to Li Shurou and the others.

He waved his hand and said with a smile.

"You two should get some rest for a day. We brothers can talk again tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left with his men, leaving behind a final sentence.

"Oh, by the way, there's a surprise waiting for you, come on in and take a look!"

...
