Just as Liu Kai was pondering this, he heard a "crack" sound that was several times louder than before.

The once smooth, mirror-like ice surface began to slowly and visibly sink in.

As the ground deformed, many ice and snow blocks at the edges were blown up.

Once the deformation begins, it will accelerate.

In the blink of an eye, the sound changed from a "click" to a loud "whoosh".

Large blocks of ice were torn apart by gravity and rolled back into the large hole below.

The entrance to the cave has collapsed!

Liu Kai kept scanning his surroundings.

A few days before the military launched the missile, it had already organized the evacuation of nearby survivors.

Therefore, there were no living people in the tall buildings around the cave entrance, and such a big commotion did not attract any onlookers.

The man and woman who caused the collapse had already moved far away before the ice collapsed.

It was not affected.

Furthermore, the ice that fell into the cave formed a slope, allowing the two people to walk out.

But as the cold wind blew in, the two huddled in a sheltered corner, shivering from the cold.

After a short while, having adjusted to the extremely cold outside temperature, he mustered up his courage and walked toward the cave entrance.

A while later.

The two finally helped each other up and stumbled their way out of the cave and onto the ground.

Fortunately, the outside world was also shrouded in clouds, so the sunlight was not strong during the day.

Having spent a long time underground, the two quickly adapted to daytime.

I looked up at the sky.

The woman seemed to have finally found an outlet, and suddenly screamed "Ah!" Her sharp voice soared into the sky.

I don't know whether I'm sad or happy.

Even after shouting and venting his emotions, he was still agitated and collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.

The hot tears had just welled up in my eyes when the cold wind blew them into ice crystals that stung my skin.

In contrast, men tend to be more composed.

He first cautiously observed his surroundings before quickly crouching down and putting his arm around the woman's shoulder.

With a look of pity, he said softly to the woman, "Xiaoya, please don't cry. Let's find a place to warm up!"

Hearing the man's comforting words, the woman slowly stopped crying.

But he didn't say anything.

As I stood up, the cold wind made me shiver again.

She instinctively leaned into the man's arms.

This intimate gesture seemed to make the man very happy, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

The missile explosion shattered the surrounding glass.

The two helped each other and quickly slipped through the window into the nearest abandoned house.

After settling the woman down on the sofa, the man began rummaging through drawers and cupboards, looking for something to start a fire for warmth.

What a coincidence.

The abandoned house where the two were hiding was next to the alley where Liu Kai was hiding.

But he has not shown up.

Because they were not interested in the two people's plight, and had no intention of helping them.

And Liu Kai is currently feeling extremely frustrated.

Because of the collapse.

The opening above the ice is much larger than the excavation underground, and it has covered the entire street.

So this road is now closed.

This means he still has to take a detour of several kilometers to reach his destination.

"Oh well, whatever, we're not in a rush..."

Liu Kai sighed.

They prepared to back the snowmobile out of the alley and then turn around and leave.

But just then, his keen hearing picked up the conversation from the next house again!

"Xiaoya, are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I feel much better. Thank you, Senior Brother An."

The young girl's voice was clear and melodious, but sounded somewhat weak.

Seeing Xiaoya's weak appearance, "Senior Brother An" felt quite sorry for her.

He took out a thick coat that he had found in the house and draped it over her.

"Let's set off once you've warmed up a bit. Once we find that underground fortress in the Lishiquyuan residential area, we'll never go hungry or cold again."

Upon hearing Senior Brother An's words, Liu Kai paused in his departing steps.

His eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with horror!

What did he say?

The underground fortress of Lishiquyuan residential community?

How did this person know?!

Aside from his spatial abilities, that bunker was the foundation of his survival during the apocalyptic cold wave.

Now there are actually other people eyeing it?

Besides these two, how many other people know this?

Countless questions suddenly flooded Liu Kai's mind.

His mind was in complete disarray, and he no longer cared about going to any settlement.

He quickly pressed himself against the wall and continued to eavesdrop on the two's conversation.

Upon hearing "Senior Brother An's" words, Xiaoya, a girl, also showed a rare smile.

He quickly stood up from the sofa: "Yes, Senior Brother An, there's no time to lose, let's hurry down into the underground cave to inform Teacher Chen and the classmates, and we'll all go to that underground fortress together!"

"What?!"

Senior Brother An's voice instantly rose several octaves.

He seemed so angry that his chest heaved as he stared in disbelief at the cute girl in front of him.

"Xiaoya, you?...Phew...Let's not go back. Just you and me. Let's find the bunker ourselves, okay?"

"No, Senior Brother An, how can you do this? Teacher Chen and the students are still down there. We can't just stand by and watch them die!"

"Shut up!"

Senior Brother An could no longer contain his anger.

He suddenly shouted, causing the girl to shrink her neck.

But seeing her pitiful appearance, my heart softened again.

"Xiaoya, why are you still thinking about that old bastard Chen Bin? He deserves to die! He deserves to die, do you know that?"

"No! Teacher Chen is a good person, I won't allow you to say that about him! Besides, he's your teacher, isn't he?"
