The cold water made Lu Yuan's hands and feet feel numb. Lu Yuan knew in his heart that if he stayed underwater in such cold water for a long time, there would definitely be serious problems.
So, Lu Yuan opened his eyes and looked in the distance. Although the underwater environment was very murky, he could still see some things clearly.
There seemed to be some flashes of light in the distance, and people shouting overhead.
Lu Yuan listened carefully and realized that Shi Quan and the others were trying to retrieve him.
So, Lu Yuan reached out and slammed his hand down hard on the ice above his head.
With a "crash," the ice layer shattered, and the ice fragments began to surge outwards in all directions.
"call!"
Lu Yuan surfaced instantly, removed his oxygen mask, and began to breathe heavily.
The cold underwater made it hard for him to breathe, but now that he was finally out of the water, he felt much better.
However, the comfortable temperature from before was gone. Lu Yuan felt that after emerging from the water, all he could breathe in was icy cold air.
Then, the light of a flashlight came from afar.
Although the light from above was quite glaring, the artificial lake was protected by a steel structure.
So when they arrived at Lu Yuan's location, it was rather dark.
Lu Yuan waved in the direction of Shi Quan and the others, and one of the team members immediately spotted Lu Yuan.
"Brother Shi, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu is over there!"
After saying that, the other person waved loudly at Lu Yuan: "Mr. Lu, we're coming to save you now!"
So everyone rushed over, and then they found some wooden planks nearby and placed them one by one, and then led the people closer and closer to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's legs were now barely perceptible underwater; he only felt cramps in them. If this continued, Lu Yuan had no doubt that he might freeze to death in this place.
After all, the wetsuit is only a thin layer. It can withstand water pressure, but it can't keep out the cold.
Not long after, a team member, with the help of the other team members, slid the plank to Lu Yuan's side.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here to save you! Give me your arm!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. He had already made preparations. If he really couldn't keep up with the situation, he would just enter the dimensional space and come out from underwater later.
Then, with the help of his teammates, Lu Yuan arrived at the edge of the concrete ground by the river.
Shi Quan found some towels and blankets and covered Lu Yuan with them.
"Mr. Lu, are you feeling better?"
Lu Yuan nodded gently, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and slowly drinking it, his body temperature gradually rising.
What's the temperature now?
Shi Quan raised his hand and looked at his multi-functional tactical watch: "The temperature has already reached minus ten degrees Celsius!"
"Minus ten degrees... Phew, I can't take it anymore! How's the evacuation plan going?"
"The evacuation is still ongoing! In about half an hour, more than a thousand people have been evacuated!"
"More than a thousand people... that's too slow!"
Shi Quan shook his head helplessly: "There's no other way, we have to go this fast! The tunnel is only high enough for one person to pass through at a time, we can't move everyone in large numbers!"
Lu Yuan nodded helplessly: "Alright! I'll go to my space later to get some clothes and equipment! Then we should take some people and figure out how to leave this fortress! By the way, do we have any drones? Can we check what's going on up there?"
"Yes! We're working on it with a team. The wind overhead is just too strong! The drones are easily blown away after they take off, making them difficult to control! We're trying to find a solution!"
"Yes! Let's do it as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
"Alright! I've almost recovered! You guys settle these people in first, I'll go back and see if the factory can process a batch of clothes as soon as possible, otherwise this place will eventually become an ice cave, and everyone will freeze to death here!"
Lu Yuan was also very helpless. He wanted to close the protective panel above his head for a while until he had prepared everything before opening it. However, Lu Yuan was worried that it would be troublesome if the protective panel above his head could not be opened by then.
After all, there isn't even any electrical control equipment in this place right now, and if the power goes out, they might be trapped here forever.
The highest protective barrier is more than a thousand meters away from their current position. It would be extremely difficult to leave such a height. If the power were to go out, working at height would also be very difficult.
Therefore, Lu Yuan could only ask everyone to endure it for a while.
Then, Lu Yuan returned to the dimensional space.
Lu Yuan summoned the management team of the new city and convened a meeting to specifically discuss how to deal with the cold weather outside.
Lu Yuan first briefly explained the situation outside to everyone, then he looked at everyone and said, "We are facing two main problems now. First, how to deal with this frigid weather, and second, how to escape from the underground fortress!"
Everyone fell into deep thought, and Lu Yuan continued.
"First of all, the outside temperature has dropped to below minus ten degrees Celsius. Humans simply cannot survive in this environment. In addition, we have been living in the underground fortress for so long that our current physical condition is not adapted to this cold. If this were before the apocalypse, we could withstand temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius for a while! But now it seems that we must solve this problem as soon as possible!"
