Just like when I first met him, he was cold and indifferent.
Unlike before, Liu Changqing seems to have completely suppressed the zombie-related part of his personality.
Those sitting here at this moment are clearly rational beings.
Given this, Xu Xing gradually lowered his guard on the surface, but secretly he remained highly focused, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
These days, no one is trustworthy except for a few close confidants, especially dangerous individuals like these.
If it weren't for the ice core Liu Changqing threw to him, he would never have come over.
Keep in mind that this is the Arctic, his home turf.
What surprised Xu Xing even more was that he had not been able to scan Liu Changqing's accurate information since his arrival.
It was as if the person sitting in front of him was a cold corpse, radiating no energy and exuding no power.
This makes it difficult to ascertain Liu Changqing's current strength.
However, those who can survive here for a long time, regardless of their level, must be quite powerful.
When Xu Xing came to the Arctic again, he never thought he would run into Liu Changqing. Today is quite a coincidence.
"I came here to handle some matters, but it was a failure. Now I'm just about to head back."
Xu Xing answered truthfully.
After all, he wasn't exactly a competitor of Liu Changqing, so there was no harm in telling him some things.
"I see. I really have to thank Brother Xu back then. Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to suppress the other personality so quickly."
Back then, I rushed to the Arctic. The cold here actually became nourishment for suppressing my second personality, so I have been able to survive here ever since.
I don't have much here, just that crystal, which might be of some help to you.
Liu Changqing invited Xu Xing to sit on the ice sofa next to him.
As soon as Xu Xing sat down, he felt a piercing chill coming from under his buttocks. He quickly activated all his supernatural abilities and channeled them downwards.
"Brother Liu, it would be best if you could suppress it. At least you have a place to call home here."
Xu Xing took out a small bottle of baijiu from his pocket, which he had put there during his journey to ward off the cold.
The moment it was taken out, it had already turned into a lump of ice, and even the surrounding glass bottles looked like they were about to shatter from the cold.
Xu Xing quickly and forcibly transformed it, using whatever materials he could find to make an ice wine glass. He poured a little wine into it and controlled it to prevent it from melting.
"I've seen you've been staying here a long time, so you probably haven't been eating anything good. How about trying some wine? It might warm you up."
"Haha, yes, back then as a college student, I had never actually drunk baijiu before. I never thought my first time would be this opportunity."
Liu Changqing accepted it without hesitation, drank it down in one gulp, and appeared extremely satisfied.
"It's good, delicious."
Brother Liu, I owe you a huge favor. You don't need to keep me in suspense; just tell me what's coming next.
What do you want to do here?
I, Liu Changqing, dare not guarantee anything else, but in this small corner of the Arctic, I do possess considerable abilities, and perhaps I can lend a hand.”
Liu Changqing said sincerely.
Since he suppressed his second personality, his primary personality has also begun to grow cold and indifferent, perhaps due to some unknown influence. Being alone for too long is not a good thing, so meeting Xu Xing this time was a completely unexpected surprise.
Xu Xing was quite surprised to hear his words.
Unexpectedly, this person had some sentimentality. Perhaps it was because he hadn't been in contact with many people since the apocalypse, and his mind was like that of a college student back then.
That's fine too; perhaps I can gain something else in return.
Xu Xing finally said:
"Actually, my original goal was to go to the North Pole and explore it. Unfortunately, the weather was too cold halfway there, and even I found it difficult to keep going."
Xu Xing did not tell Liu Changqing the specific situation inside the North Pole.
Of course, Xu Xing didn't really understand either, he only knew that the strange celestial phenomena of that year originated from the North Pole.
"North Pole?"
Liu Changqing was clearly surprised when he heard this.
He frowned and thought for a few minutes.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"The North Pole is not actually that far from here, and I have been there many times. It's just a pity that even I can't stay there for long, as the temperature there is already very close to absolute zero."
Xu Xing became excited and quickly asked, "So, what's the state of the North Pole?"
"To put it simply, the overall area is the same as the surrounding area. However, at the very center of the North Pole is a bottomless pit, and strangely, there is no seawater in it."
It was like a giant whirlpool; I could sense the danger inside, so I didn't dare go down.
Actually, the crystal I gave you was found around it. I've already advanced to a higher level, so it's useless to me now.
"No wonder," Xu Xing exclaimed.
Liu Changqing's strength was indeed unfathomable. Fortunately, I didn't use any tricks on him at the beginning.
To Xu Xing's even greater surprise, Liu Changqing said that there was nothing special about the North Pole, only a bottomless pit...
So, the crux of the problem lies in that big pit...
"Brother Liu, I still want to go and see. I wonder if you have any special methods to help me resist the cold."
Xu Xing thought for a while and decided to go. Although he had already been confirmed to advance to the seventh level, the extremely precious thing in his hand was only found on the outer edge of the pit. It must be a different world inside.
Liu Changqing's expression turned somewhat troubled for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally said:
"Alright, I can go with you. I can continuously condense an ice armor on you to resist most of the cold. However, once a critical point is reached, I will be helpless."
"Okay, I'll try to be careful, and I'll evacuate immediately if I sense any danger."
Having said that, Liu Changqing nodded, then stood up and clasped his hands together.
Suddenly, a mysterious force gathered in the surrounding air and began to condense, causing the temperature to drop another level.
Fortunately, it came and went quickly. By the time Xu Xing could no longer withstand it, a transparent ice armor had already formed on his body.
After the condensation was complete, Xu Xing suddenly realized that all the cold air around him seemed to be directly isolated from him, and his body temperature was even maintained at a normal level.
It has to be said that Liu Changqing's method was really impressive.
"Okay, let's go."
With this assurance, Xu Xing was no longer afraid, and with Liu Changqing following behind, he could also ensure that no accidents would occur.
