Chapter 105 Ice Cold

Lin Zhen’s tactics now were very clear, that is, he would never fight to the end. Anyway, even if it was a high-level warrior, it would be impossible to break Lin Zhen’s defense within two or three moves. He fought and retreated, starting from the third floor and going up all the way. When he reached the seventh floor, all the opponent’s warrior-level warriors had retreated.

By the time they reached the tenth floor, more than half of the opponent's junior generals had been killed, and only twenty people were left in the team of nearly forty people.

By the thirteenth floor, all of the opponent's junior generals could no longer hold on and voluntarily withdrew from the fight and left Zhaodong Building.

There were only six people left in the opposing team, two senior generals and four mid-level generals.

The fighting has stopped. Everyone, including Lin Zhen, has lost the ability to fight. They climb up tremblingly. The temperature seems to drop a little with every level they climb.

Everyone's clothes were blown extremely stiff by the cold wind, and there was a crackling sound when they raised their hands and legs. Their eyebrows, beards, hair and eyelashes were all covered with a thick layer of frost, and their lips were as pale as paper.

Lin Zhen had already put away the Black Dragon Spear; it was no longer of any use at this moment. He also stopped trying to destroy the stairs, and only stepped upwards mechanically.

It was the fifteenth floor, and some mid-level warriors couldn't help but retreat.

On the eighteenth floor, all the intermediate warriors had withdrawn, leaving only two advanced warriors who had not given up.

At the bottom of the building, Suna's camera was still filming.

"Dear netizens, could there really be a miracle? Lin Zhen is still holding on. Although I can't go out at the moment, according to the situation at the scene, Lin Zhen seems to be climbing to the heights of Zhaodong Building. Many warriors can't stand the cold anymore and have come down. I have been counting the number of people chasing Lin Zhen, and now it seems that only two people are still there."

"Cheer for Lin Zhen, pray for Lin Zhen, he will definitely survive!"

Many people have also made comments online.

"I tested the temperature. The outdoor temperature in Ice City is currently around minus 40 degrees Celsius. However, Ice City has walls, buildings, cars, heating, and is very popular. The temperature is generally about five degrees higher than that in the wilderness. This means that the temperature in Zhaodong is now minus 45 degrees Celsius. This temperature challenges the limits of human survival. Even warriors can't hold on for long."

"You have overlooked one thing, haven't you? You are talking about the surface temperature. Lin Zhen is currently in Zhaodong Building. Do you know how strong the wind is there? I just went to the rooftop of our house to test the temperature and was almost blown down by the wind. The temperature there reached minus 48 degrees Celsius. The height there is about the 15th floor of Zhaodong Building. Who do you think can withstand this temperature? Even a warrior, how long can he withstand it?"

"I don't know what floor Lin Zhen is on right now, but I estimate the temperature must be over minus fifty degrees Celsius. This winter is too cold, colder than any other year."

"Those warriors are idiots. Why are they chasing him in such a cold weather? They can just trap Lin Zhenyi downstairs. He will soon freeze to death upstairs. It would be much easier that way."

"Haha! It's easy for you to say, but who will get the huge bonus of 3 billion?"

Just as netizens were discussing this, reports from Zhaodong came again.

Finally, the two high-level warriors who were chasing Lin Zhen also retreated. They persisted to the 22nd floor, but they could not go any higher. This news was judged by netizens based on the lip movements of those warriors in the video.

Originally, some netizens were cheering for Lin Zhen, but soon two senior warriors appeared.

These two people are Lang Tianxiao and Yang Lie. They appeared only after all the warriors had withdrawn.

The two men, wearing thick cotton clothes and dog-skin hats that they got from somewhere, resolutely began to climb Zhaodong Building.

The strength of these two people is indeed stronger than others, but the final result is still the same.

Yang Lie persisted to the 27th floor and then retreated, while Lang Tianxiao walked to the 29th floor, but finally retreated as he could not resist the cold wind.

After coming down, both of them had their hands and feet almost stiff. It took them a long time to recover and they started cursing at Zhaodong Building.

"Lin Zhen, that little bastard, is crazy. He would rather die than drag others down with him. If I had known this would happen, I would have rushed upstairs and killed him right from the start."

"But this kid is doomed. The temperature above this building is definitely below minus 55 degrees Celsius. I'll see how long he can hold out there. He might just turn into an ice sculpture!"

Lang Tianxiao cursed for a while, and these warriors had to face a realistic problem.

That means Lin Zhen stayed in the building. Who killed him?

In the end, everyone reached a tacit agreement to surround Lin Zhen here and never give him the chance to leave Zhaodong Building. Anyway, they couldn't leave Zhaodong now, so they just stayed.

After the wind and snow stopped, people went to search on top of Zhaodong Building. After finding Lin Zhen’s body, they would decide how to distribute it.

Although Lang Tianxiao was unwilling, he finally chose to remain silent when he looked at the forty warriors present. There was no better way at the moment.

These warriors chose some nearby houses and went inside. There were people at every angle to ensure that Lin Zhen had no possibility of leaving from anywhere.

The situation thus formed a stalemate, which was unexpected by no one.

At Liefeng Martial Arts School, Dongfang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation did not look good, it was better than Lin Zhen being killed immediately. Maybe there might even be a chance for a reversal.

As for Li Wanfeng and other war gods, they didn't expect that they could only continue to stay with Dongfang Jun and wait for the outcome of the matter.

Netizens online have been analyzing how long Lin Zhen can survive in that environment.

Even if Lin Zhen had clothes and tools to keep warm, he would not be able to hold on for too long in that situation. He would probably fall down automatically soon. By then, the warriors below would be well-rested and Lin Zhen would still not be able to escape death.

Whether it was the warriors who besieged Lin Zhen, Su Na at the scene, Dongfang Jun and others in the martial arts gym, or many netizens on the Internet, people were all waiting for a result of the Zhaodong incident.

******** Lin Zhen was still climbing at this time. In fact, when he reached the 20th floor, no one was following him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the snow and wind, a faint layer of golden and silver light appeared on Lin Zhen's body.

This is Lin Zhen’s mental power shield, which he comprehended when he was in Yilan. It once scared Zhao Liang.

Needless to say, the mental strength is so strong that it can even withstand knives, guns and bullets, not to mention the biting northwest wind. Although the strong wind cuts like a knife, it cannot shake Lin Zhen's mental power shield in the slightest.

It is for this reason that Lin Zhen dared to come to Zhaodong Building. Even high-level generals could not withstand the cold here, but he, Lin Zhen, could. In the whole Zhaodong, there is no safer place to break through than here because no one will come to disturb him.

In this way, Lin Zhen climbed all the way to the top floor of Zhaodong Building, above the 36th floor.

When he reached the thirty-sixth floor, Lin Zhen found a pillar and sat down. This place could block out the cold wind a little, so he didn't have to work too hard to drive his mental power.

"This place is probably as low as -60 degrees Celsius. I'm afraid the temperature in Antarctica is about the same. Add in the cold wind, and an average person's blood will freeze to death within a minute. This should be an absolutely safe place."

You can still see some bird feathers and feces here. This used to be the nest of mutant birds, but after the snowstorm came, the mutant birds all fled. This place is definitely a restricted area for humans.

"I came all the way to Zhaodong Building because I saw the low temperature here. No one will come to disturb me, and I have a spiritual power shield to protect my body, so I am not afraid of the wind and cold. This period of time is my best opportunity to break through."

In order to break through to the rank of general, Lin Zhen has been preparing for a long time, and now everything is ready.

He has already reached the peak of the warrior level and is just one step away from being promoted to a general. Now he has finally waited for this opportunity.

He raised his hand and a dark energy stone appeared in his hand.

"The largest dark energy stone that has appeared on Earth can greatly enhance my physical strength, allowing me to advance to a general with strength that exceeds the limits of a warrior. This is the first step in my breakthrough!"

"Li Tianhao and his men haven't shown up yet. I guess they are observing me from the dark. But by the time you show up, it will be too late. Just wait for me to come back."

On the top floor, the wind was howling, the sky and the earth were vast, and large groups of snow were roaring through the building. On the bare floor, Lin Zhen's protective mental power shield flickered.

Holding the Dark Energy Stone in both hands, a trace of obscure power began to be injected into Lin Zhen's body! Since his rebirth, he has carefully planned and prepared for a long time, and Lin Zhen has finally reached the moment of breakthrough.
