Xiao Jin glanced at the group of people.
"If we want to kill the Snow Beast King, there are only so many people who can participate. So we need to find a way to kick out a group of low-level snow beasts first."
Gao Ya: "Whether the snow beasts can swim or not is another matter. As long as we break the ice big enough, the fewer snow beasts will be able to successfully reach the island in the end."
This is indeed a feasible solution.
"fry!"
At this moment, Jian Yiqiu suddenly looked up, his eyes shooting out a dazzling gaze.
"I support you. I'll arrange for some people to accompany you to blow up the bridge, and the rest will go to break the ice."
Shao Jing tapped his head thoughtfully: "I remember when we searched the prison warehouse, we did find a lot of stored explosives."
I remember where I put it.
He pointed at Shao Jing: "You'll have to ask Lao Cheng to blow up the bridge. He's the best at it. Back when we were overseas, his demolition skills were absolutely top-notch."
Seeing this, Xiao Jin looked at Cheng Ce and nodded to him: "Then I'll leave the rest to you!"
Cheng Ce sat up straight and said, "You're too kind."
Then Xiao Jin turned to Jian Yiqiu and said, "Don't push yourself too hard with the ice-breaking. Do as much as you can, and wait for me to come back for the rest."
Immediately afterwards, everyone left the monitoring room.
Such a big thing couldn't be kept secret, so Jian Yiqiu told everyone what Xiao Jin had discovered.
When they learned that their home was in ruins and could never be the same again, everyone fell silent.
But then one by one, everyone picked up their tools, glanced at their families, and left without looking back.
The mission was still arduous, but Jian Yiqiu had also considered the situation outside and put a lot of effort into selecting personnel.
Those required to go to the ground this time, apart from the players, must be physically strong and fully equipped with cold-weather gear.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the low temperatures outside.
Jian Yiqiu even divided everyone into groups, so that they could take turns chiseling ice.
Before long, the group arrived at the outer edge of the island in a grand procession.
The good news is that the snow outside has finally stopped, and the long-awaited warm sun has reappeared in the sky. The bad news is that the howling cold wind is still quite strong.
If it weren't for the goggles, none of them could open their eyes.
After passing through layers of thick snowdrifts, thankfully the strong wind blew away much of the snow, otherwise everyone would have almost lost their way to the edge of the island.
Once the location was determined, the group first pushed away the snow on the ice.
Jian Yiqiu squatted on the ice, gazing down.
Normally, there are many ways to break through the ice on the sea surface.
The first is to use icebreakers.
Icebreakers are vessels specifically designed to navigate in ice-covered waters. They typically possess sufficient strength and stability to crush and cut ice using their own weight and a unique bow shape.
Icebreakers come in various shapes, such as knife-shaped, round, and sloping.
Some icebreakers are also equipped with vibration devices, as well as auxiliary tools such as icebreaker hammers or rotating blades.
However, it's clear that there are no icebreakers inside the shelter, so this method is not feasible.
The second method is to use ice-breaking agents, also known as chemical ice-breaking.
This requires some low-toxicity or non-toxic chemical materials.
Fortunately, there were people in the shelter who were familiar with this, and they managed to cobble together some materials and actually made a few. However, considering the issue of materials, the icebreaker was somewhat toxic.
Extra care is required when using it.
However, this doesn't matter to the players; as long as the toxicity isn't too severe, they don't care.
Some people even secretly asked the person who prepared the medicine if they would die within two days if they were poisoned.
The question caught me completely off guard.
As expected, the task of using the ice-breaking agent was left to a select group of players.
There's only so much icebreaker; it's far from enough to break through the ice surrounding the island.
Therefore, the others chose another method—breaking the ice with explosives.
Those with bombs should use them, and those without should use their skills. Remember how Xiao Jin stored ice during the extreme heat? Players are doing something similar to Xiao Jin back then.
With a single strike, a hole was punched into the ice.
If the ice is thick, it doesn't matter; they can just smash it a few more times. The indigenous people, whose strength is limited, are responsible for gradually expanding the area of the seawater.
On the other side, Xiao Jin did not choose to bring many people, but only went to the bridge with Cheng Ce. She stored the explosives and other items in her spatial storage.
Upon arriving at the destination, Cheng Ce did not approach it but stood at a distance, scribbling and drawing on a piece of paper while looking at the bridge.
He quickly determined the location to plant the explosives.
Cheng Ce waved the toilet paper at Xiao Jin, who was standing on the top of the overpass. Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin jumped off the bridge.
She appeared in front of Cheng Ce in a flash, taking the draft paper from his hand: "Are you sure?"
“It’s confirmed, there are two locations, but…” Cheng Ce pointed to two points on the bridge, his voice seemingly tinged with concern.
"Speak," Xiao Jin asked without looking up.
"Because of the snow, I was afraid my calculations weren't accurate enough, so we brought all the explosives with us this time."
"If we use them all, and we still haven't destroyed the bridge..."
Xiao Jin handed the toilet paper back to Cheng Ce: "Don't worry, go ahead and fry it, I'm still here!"
Thinking of Xiao Jin's endless tricks, Cheng Ce, this die-hard fan, decisively replied, "Okay, I'll go plant the explosives right now."
Xiao Jin wasn't completely clueless about planting explosives, so with her help, Cheng Ce quickly completed the setup for the blast.
Then, the two slowly moved back, with Cheng Ce holding a device switch in his hand.
As Cheng Ce's fingers, clad in black leather gloves, gently pressed the button on the remote control, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar shattered the silence, like the roar of a giant beast awakening, shaking every inch of the land.
"boom!!!"
The heatwave, like a wild horse, surged forth, clashing fiercely with the cold air and whipping up a flurry of snowflakes.
Cheng Ce reacted with lightning speed. Almost instinctively, he stretched out a hand and placed it above Xiao Jin's head, standing in front of her to shield her from the snowflakes whipped up by the heatwave.
As the echoes of the explosion gradually faded, the two turned around, their gazes piercing through the thinning snow and toward the bridge.
The bridge spanning the sea now resembled a fragile piece of porcelain, the cracks slowly widening in their eyes.
The bridge's steel and concrete structure began to groan under the strain. Then, as if gently pressed down by an invisible hand, the entire bridge deck slowly and irresistibly sank downwards, creating a series of dull echoes.
