After a good night's sleep, Xia He dressed up and went out early the next morning. This time, she took the two little ones with her. After all, the two little ones are lively and active, and since there aren't many people outside, she wanted to take them out to play.
As for Little Flower, of course we sent it back to our space.
Moreover, if danger arises, Xia He can immediately send the two little ones back to her space.
Xia He's city doesn't have large-scale stone quarries, so she can only look for stones in shopping malls and antique markets. Shopping malls are too big a target right now, because there are probably many people buying things for free at this time.
So Xia He headed straight to the antique market.
It's called an antique market, but it's actually an ancient town. However, it's currently facing a problem: the ancient town is frozen!
To gain access to the store and loot, you have to break the ice...
Although Xia He has a lot of weapons in her space, ice at -70 degrees Celsius is not so easy to break!
But she could only deal with things as they came. Xia He still took the two little ones to the antique market. When they arrived at the ancient town, she realized that Xia He had oversimplified everything! Because the ancient town was not on high ground and was located by the river, there was no such thing as an ancient town anymore!
Standing atop the frozen ancient town, Xia He could clearly see the structural details of the houses: the glazed tiles on the eaves, the wood carvings on the courtyard walls, and the carvings on the window lattices—every detail was clearly visible, like a sculpture carved on crystal glass.
There is no life in the frozen ancient town; time seems to stand still, and everything is frozen in the ice crystals.
While Xia He was captivated by the beautiful scenery, she wondered what to do.
At this moment, Xiao Hua floated out and asked, "I can sense that there are many spirit stones here, but how do you open the ice layer?"
Xia He took out the ice-melting agent she had scavenged from the technology factory and sprinkled some on the ice surface. The ice surface split open at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was just a drop in the ocean!
The ice had just thawed a little when it froze again, and the ice layer looked to be more than 10 meters or even 20 meters thick. Xia He didn't know what to do.
Xiao Hua then said smugly, "Go somewhere else. As long as you find the spirit stone, I'll have a way to help you break through these ice layers."
He then slipped into the space.
Helpless, Xia He could only drive the snowmobile with the two little ones and head to the mall.
Many small shopping malls have jade and emerald shops on the first floor, and they are probably all frozen now. But there is one place where there should still be jade shops, and that is the largest shopping mall in southwestern China, Planet Center!
However, the center of the planet is located north of the Shu region...
Xiahe was originally in the south, and now it's even in the southern suburbs. Before the apocalypse, it would take two hours to drive there on the highway.
However, snowmobiles are inherently faster than cars. Xia He's snowmobile can reach a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour, far surpassing the speed of cars. Moreover, there are few people on the ice now.
Xia He sat on the snowmobile seat, her hands gripping the handlebars. Her eyes, peering through her goggles, shone with a resolute gaze, and her clothes fluttered in the wind.
The snowmobile's engine roared, transmitting powerful energy to the ice. Beneath her feet, the snow and ice slashed past at high speed, splashing up waves of snowflakes. The snowmobile's tires gripped the ice's texture firmly, propelling it steadily forward.
