Chapter 40
"Absolute Zero Wave" is about to erupt
Chen Yu's lips twitched: "The second prototype might not be that hard to get. This tower we're in is probably the most obvious, but also the most difficult one to obtain."
Li Mengyao took two steps back, somewhat cautiously.
She really didn't want to experience that fear of death again.
There wasn't a single person around.
There were only countless insects.
She feels that she's been dreaming about them every time she sleeps lately, and she doesn't dare to think about it, she really doesn't dare to think about it...
Chen Yu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If you want to stay here, then stay by yourself."
With that, he walked ahead into the darkness.
Deng Yuxin and Zhang Wanyue quickly followed.
Wang Mengmeng tugged at Li Mengyao: "Hurry up and let's go! If we don't follow Chen Yu, who can we two little Karamis beat? I don't want to die here!"
Li Mengyao followed with a long face, but had no choice but to follow.
We bypassed the tower and went deep into the outpost...
The view ahead was once again dominated by a cluster of low-rise buildings.
The sturdy, square two-story stone building stands silently in the icy mist, its color tinged with leaden gray.
The constant "boom boom boom" sound gradually became a habit.
The white-haired monster has poor eyesight; as long as you don't take out the geothermal fern in front of it, you shouldn't be attacked.
About half an hour later...
They walked along the street, occasionally taking out geothermal ferns to cool themselves down.
Suddenly, suppressed voices came from in front of a small building ahead.
"Push harder! Aim at one spot! Damn, I'm speechless! How can the ice be so hard?!"
"Save your energy, let's take turns!"
"If there's a prototype inside, we'll be set for life!"
Eight students were gathered in front of a door that was sealed with thick ice, taking turns pounding on it.
Four men and four women, they had exerted all their strength, and their faces were all pale.
However, the ice on the door was only chipped away at, leaving white marks, and progress was slow.
Seeing this, the women immediately recalled how Chen Yu, alone with just a hammer, had chiseled a hole in seconds when they first arrived at the outpost...
The difference is just too big?
Just then.
One of the girls noticed what was happening behind them, where Chen Yu and his group were.
She paused for a moment, then nudged her companion with her elbow: "Huh? Another team has arrived?"
Upon hearing this, the others also stopped what they were doing and looked over.
But when they realized that Chen Yu's team only had five members, and four of them were girls...
A hint of disdain flashed in many people's eyes.
"Why are they all girls...?"
"I guess it was a broken team, there was only one boy."
"Damn it, don't ever ask them to join! I don't want to be involved in poverty alleviation!"
"Of course we won't shout; let them fend for themselves."
Chen Yu had no intention of stopping and walked straight past the group of students.
But at that moment—
A clear female voice rang out: "Hey, are you going in this direction to find Director Yu?"
"Director Yu?"
Chen Yu paused slightly. "Are they up ahead?"
Turn around.
The speaker was a tall girl, and although she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, you could tell that she had a well-proportioned figure.
She wore a neat ponytail, her cheeks were red from the cold, but she exuded vitality.
She pointed ahead: "Director Yu and his group, along with several other teams that joined them later, are all gathered there. I heard they've discovered something."
She paused, then added, "However... I advise you not to go there. It's a chaotic area, and a fight might break out again. You might get caught up in it..."
A boy nearby, who was breaking ice, couldn't help but chime in, "Yang Kexin, why are you telling them so much? Let them go if they want, what does it have to do with us?"
The boy stepped forward, his face unfriendly: "You all get out of here right now, we don't intend to cooperate!"
Chen Yu's lips twitched, but he hadn't had a chance to say anything yet.
Wang Mengmeng was the first to stand up: "Bullshit! Who wants to cooperate with you? You can't even get through the door, and you dare to talk about cooperation? Who cares? Tch!"
The boy was taken aback by the retort: "You..."
Wang Mengmeng snorted coldly: "What do you mean, 'you'? You're ugly, incompetent, and have a terrible temper. You really think you're so special!"
"???"
Yang Kexin quickly explained, "Student, Sun Tao meant no harm. He's just a little wary of strangers. Are you really going to Director Yu's place?"
Chen Yu nodded: "More or less."
Yang Kexin leaned closer to him and whispered, "It's quite dangerous over there. I don't want you to die. We're still waiting for the next deal..."
The boy didn't hear what she said.
But Deng Yuxin and the others who were closest to Chen Yu heard it clearly.
Deng Yuxin took a half step forward, raised her head, and moved closer to Chen Yu's side, as if to assert her dominance.
Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, he turned around.
He continued forward with the women.
Before leaving, he left with the words: "There's no way there could be a prototype there where you smashed it."
It's worth noting that the heat emitted by the prototype was incredibly high.
The small building they smashed only had a few clumps of geothermal ferns at most.
This suggestion can be seen as a response to Yang Kexin, repaying the favor for the information she had just provided.
As for whether they believe it or not?
This is no longer Chen Yu's responsibility.
Watching the departing figures of one man and four women.
Sun Tao snorted coldly: "They really overestimate themselves. If you ask me... Yang Kexin, you really shouldn't have reminded them. What good would it do us?"
Yang Kexin scoffed, "What do you know? This is a long-term investment!"
Suddenly, in my ear!
A sound came out—
[WARNING: An ultra-high intensity "absolute zero wave" is about to erupt]
[Source location: Deep within a glacial rift valley, currently experiencing upwelling]
【预计抵达地面时间：300…299…298…297…296】
All passengers are urged to seek shelter immediately or evacuate the outpost as quickly as possible.
Broadcast complete!
The countdown began flashing wildly in the corner of everyone's retinas!
Yang Kexin's expression changed: "Oh no!"
Sun Tao's face darkened as well: "Absolute zero wave? We've only been at the outpost for a few hours! How come it's appearing so early! We only have five minutes to prepare..."
Behind the two.
Those who were already chiseling at the door worked even harder.
"Damn it, it's too late!"
"Hurry up and dig! We need cover!"
"If we can't break through, we're all finished!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sounds of violent breakthroughs came one after another!
But there has been no progress!
The countdown relentlessly ticked away: 280…279…278…
