Chapter 285
…
"Extremely low temperature cold wave?! The entire planet! Then we should all end our field training and evacuate immediately, otherwise everyone's lives will be in danger. You are the rescue team, and you have received orders to take us away, right?"
After hearing what the first man from the rescue vehicle said, the students' faces turned pale. Zhao Tang managed to calm himself and looked at the rescuers and asked.
Although he had a very bad feeling when he saw the rescue vehicle emitting black smoke, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Extreme cold snaps can plunge the Earth's surface temperature to absolute zero (-200 degrees Celsius), instantly freezing all ordinary surface life into ice sculptures. Even the most robust interstellar humans, wearing the most advanced cold-weather suits, can only withstand temperatures as low as -100 degrees Celsius.
"Sorry, our rescue vehicle has been frozen. The planet has experienced a sudden, massive cold snap, and all communication equipment is unable to contact headquarters."
The last person to get off the rescue vehicle was the light therapist who had just saved the lives of the people. He directly told the students the real situation they were facing.
"This is an extremely low temperature cold wave, we can't hold on for long! Team leader, what should we do? I don't want to die... Woo~" A girl from the School of Light was the first to sob in fear when she heard the words of the light therapist.
But at this moment, there is not much time left for a group of people to feel sad.
"Oh no! Everyone, look! North! North!" Someone shouted, and everyone immediately looked north. In the darkness, they saw a huge gray-white vortex connecting the sky and the ground. This was the extremely low temperature cold current!
The vortex was visibly getting bigger, which meant that this huge, extremely cold current was approaching their direction!
The wind was howling fiercely, and the snow could no longer be called snow. It had long since turned into pieces of transparent ice spikes with a diameter of at least five centimeters, which were quite heavy when hitting people.
The temperature dropped suddenly and continued to drop.
"There's no time left, everyone, hide in the cave first. Quick!!" Bowen's face turned pale. Now was a critical moment and they couldn't care less. As long as they held the cave, they still had a chance of survival and could wait for rescue.
"Earth-type talents, build a snow wall! Water-type talents, help pour some ice! Seal the entrance except for the vents. The thicker the wall, the better! Don't stop."
Led by Bowen, a group of people entered the cave and quickly began to seal the cave, but this was far from enough to withstand the large-scale extremely low temperature cold wave that was about to hit.
The rescue team parked their rescue vehicle sideways outside the cave entrance as a primary defense. A thick wall of ice had formed at the entrance. Inside, Mu Jiao and Fang Jia continuously added wood to the campfire to ensure the temperature remained elevated. The students from the Light Academy also diligently provided energy to several Earth and Water-based talents.
When it comes to survival, everyone is busy and dares not slack off at all.
"Shangguan Yu, Zhao Tang, and Captain Xu, time is critical. The tent area is behind our cave. However, the front of the cave is too small to set up tents. The back, while spacious, can only accommodate eighteen mid-level tents at most. So, we'll divide the area into three groups, five areas each, and the remaining areas will be for the rescue team. We must take shelter in the tents before this cold front arrives."
Naturally, no one objected to Bowen's arrangement, and the tents of each group were quickly set up behind the cave. Meanwhile, the howling of the wind outside grew increasingly frightening. By the time Mu Jiao entered the tent, she could even feel the ground trembling twice.
