In the evening, everyone returned with smiles on their faces, but Guan Xinxin couldn't calm down. Damn it, was that woman Tan Ruoruo really not lying to her? Was there really going to be a cold snap tonight?
She couldn't help but look across at the delicate and beautiful woman leaning against the tall man with a look of dependence on her face.
Guan Xinxin secretly gritted her teeth, she really believed her lies!
Unfortunately, she and the other party are now on the same page, so she dare not reveal this matter to anyone. If Tan Ruoruo reveals her affairs as well, she will be finished as well.
Guan Xinxin regretted it again. Why was she so stupid as to provoke this woman?
Damn it, it was all Ji Qing's fault! She had deliberately misled her.
When she gets back to City Z, she's going to give them a good beating! And now... Guan Xinxin looked out the window and wrapped herself tightly in her quilt. She had given all the spiritual stones she'd earned from completing missions to Tan Ruoruo. She'd built this large formation to avoid being around people. It should at least be able to stave off some of the cold, right?
But after tonight's cooperation, she finally understood what a bullshit reborn person was.
Tan Ruoruo was clearly a tasker with a system, just like her! And her dog, Dahei, might just be a pet she brought with her.
After all, who would believe that a dog that can survive in such a harsh environment and is so powerful is just an ordinary local dog?
Damn it, why are they both tasked with the same mission, but the other party is so awesome, while she is so useless?
And I have to be used by the other party... How hateful!
No one was aware of what was about to happen, except Zhou Yan and Lian Li, one of them curious about why his wife had suddenly become so close to Guan Xinxin. They even gathered together to whisper.
Lian Lizhe found that Guan Xinxin was rarely bothering him tonight, so he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed minute by minute, everyone fell into a deep sleep, the base was silent, Guan Xinxin waited and waited, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep... The cold air came, the temperature around was getting lower and lower, Xihe suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan asked in a low voice.
Before Xihe could say anything, Lian Li on the opposite side said, "The temperature is a bit abnormal." He had also woken up.
The two of them hurried to the window and opened the curtains. Their pupils suddenly widened. The ground and walls outside the house were covered with layers of ice. The sound of "crackling" was very clear. A glowing cover enveloped the city, but it seemed as if it was attacked by a behemoth and began to crumble.
"It's a barrier! The same barrier as the one in City Z!" Guan Xinxin said excitedly.
She also ran to the window at this moment, and did not forget to glance at Xihe secretly after she finished speaking. This woman is really capable.
Lian Li and Zhou Yan looked at each other, and both of them had an idea. It seems that they don’t need to take the person to City Z.
Zhou Yan had more on his mind. In the afternoon, he followed Lian Li to the base to answer some questions without Ruo Ruo accompanying him. He guessed that she was the one who set up the formation during this period. Considering Guan Xinxin's unexpected behavior tonight, it was not difficult to imagine who Ruo Ruo was working with.
This is really... He wanted to cover his face. What should he do if his wife is too gullible?
Guan Xinxin had been enemies with them before!
Guan Xinxin was concerned at the moment: "The barrier keeps shaking, will it be broken?"
Although Tan Ruoruo looks very powerful, this is the power of nature and it may be destroyed at any time.
Xihe looked up at the barrier that was crumbling but still firmly protecting the base and said, "I don't know. Let's get everyone up and set up the environment first. If it really breaks, it will give us some time to recover."
She really didn't want to expose her abilities, because she couldn't explain them clearly and it would only cause trouble.
Fortunately, this time she used spirit stones. Even if the cold wave was severe, she still had an hour to prepare. As for City Z, she and Zhou Yan had already exchanged for a new batch of jade stones before leaving, so there shouldn't be any big problem.
As for the cities outside, she was powerless to redeem them.
She can only wait for the opportunity in the future to set up the formation.
Lian Li nodded, and he and Zhou Yan woke up everyone who was sleeping, then hurried out to report the situation to their superiors and make arrangements.
Soon, a level A alarm sounded at the base. Everyone was startled and quickly ran to the air-raid shelter according to the emergency response. Fuel was poured in and burned. The cave soon became hot, and smiles appeared on the faces of hundreds of thousands of people.
On the ground, all cotton-padded clothes, food, military vehicles and other supplies were also being urgently transferred.
In just one hour, at the last second before the cold current broke through the barrier, the heavy iron door slammed shut.
They finally heard the sound of something suddenly shattering, followed by a "boom" sound. The cold wave swept across the entire base with overwhelming force, and many buildings collapsed and crashed to the ground.
It lasted for several hours, and bursts of sobbing could be heard from every corner of the air-raid shelter.
They put in so much effort to build the base into its current state, but when the cold wave came, all their efforts were wasted. They couldn't help but feel sad.
"Fortunately, everyone is still alive!"
"Yes, yes, as long as you are alive, there is hope."
"Did you see that barrier in the sky? I heard it's the same barrier as the one in City Z. It bought us time to escape. I believe that once the cold wave passes, we'll be like City Z and won't have to worry about snow anymore!"
"Maybe we can even grow crops! We'll have land again in the future..."
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, putting aside the sadness in their hearts. No matter what, being alive is the best.
As long as they are alive, they can recover everything they have lost, so no matter how hard or difficult it is, they are not afraid!
Guan Xinxin couldn't help but feel scared at this time. My goodness, the cold wave was still so fierce even after setting up the formation. This cold wave was even more severe than the last time!
For a moment, her feelings towards Xihe were extremely complicated. If it weren't for her, they might have frozen to death in their sleep. Let alone completing the mission, it would be difficult for her to walk out of this world alive.
I couldn’t help but look over… She was lying in her husband’s arms, soundly asleep.
Zhou Yan hugged Xihe tightly, feeling both happy and worried. Fortunately, he had Ruoruo.
Everyone was extremely tired and sad. Some stayed awake until dawn, while others fell asleep exhausted.
It took five days for the soldiers to tentatively open the iron gate. The moment the door was opened, extreme cold rushed in. If Zhou Yan had not pulled him in time, he would have become an ice sculpture... He quickly closed the door.
"Open the door in ten days at the latest!"
Everyone was still frightened and nodded.
The soldier thanked Zhou Yan again and again, his heart pounding and a sense of fear building up inside him.
So, everyone waited for a few more days. On the afternoon of the fifteenth day, Zhou Yan and Lian Li took the lead and opened the heavy door that was frozen by snow and ice. After an unpleasant "creaking" sound, a gust of cold air blew in their faces, and it was freezing and snowy outside.
