Chapter 364 Jiang Yue's Ripples
The old man was relieved, and he was no longer aloof. The others in the base also learned what Chen Mingzhang had said from him, and instantly the people who were originally uneasy regained their composure.
"Good, good, good, enough to last for several years, that puts my mind at ease. I've been worried lately that there won't be enough food at the base, so I've been saving my food every day and even went to the base's shop to buy an ice energy box to freeze a lot of food."
"Who isn't? I heard that the ice energy boxes in the base store are almost sold out recently. I guess everyone is worried about not having enough food. I've noticed that everyone doesn't seem to be in good spirits lately. I guess they're hungry."
"Now that I have Captain Chen's words, I feel much more at ease. Besides, the warehouse was specially opened today, and many people saw the food in the base warehouse. I feel that saying it will last for several years is an understatement."
"Sigh, I was worrying for nothing. Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I want to go back and have a good meal. I've been so scared these past few days that I haven't had any appetite."
Lu Yize used his mental energy to monitor the situation of the entire base. Only after confirming that the anxiety of the people in the base had decreased did he withdraw his mental energy.
Chen Mingzhang certainly wouldn't do something meaningless without a reason. He didn't want the people in the base to panic and fall into chaos while they were busy with base matters.
Now that the situation at the base has stabilized, Lu Yize, Chen Mingzhang, and the others can finally focus their attention on important matters. Chen Mingzhang recently broke through to the fifth rank, and after his abilities stabilized, Lu Yize planned to go out for a trip.
"According to monitoring, the sudden tremors of the black crystal meteorite have not stopped, and there is even a high possibility of a second or third wave of aftershocks. The energy monitoring of the black crystal meteorite is currently in an extremely abnormal state, which has directly led to the deaths of dozens of aliens."
As Chen Ping spoke, the image floating in the air changed with each word he uttered.
They have been paying close attention to the black crystal meteorite, which is why they were able to respond to the extreme weather so quickly.
Lu Yize stared at the active black crystal meteorite. "Morse, Xie Hongyang, Chen Mingzhang, Chen Si, Chen Ping, and Yuan Bing, get ready. We'll depart for the location of the black crystal meteorite in an hour."
No one else had any objections, but they looked at the strong woman next to them, who was at least two meters tall, or more accurately, a female beast, with a slight awkwardness.
This strange beast is specifically responsible for protecting their king, who is also the cub of that giant beast with human speech.
The hierarchy among beasts is more clearly defined than that among plants. Although the little deer was just a cub, it did not diminish her status as the beast queen.
Moreover, the naming of the mythical beasts is very simple and straightforward. They usually take their original form as their surname and their special ability as their given name, like Xiong Bing, who is actually a bear-shaped mythical beast whose special ability is ice.
When she entered the fifth tier and could switch forms, Xiong Bing chose the most popular form among bears. Sure enough, the other bear-shaped beasts couldn't take their eyes off her; she must be a beautiful bear.
She was brought along on this mission because of her high level of superpower, and her superpower is applicable to extreme weather like this. Not only was she unaffected by the extreme cold, but she was even helped by it.
On the contrary, Morse's ability was somewhat suppressed in this kind of weather. Originally, it would have been better to bring Fan Jian along, since he also has ice-type abilities.
However, because he had just adapted to his body and his mental state and physical control were not yet fully aligned, Lu Yize did not take him with him for the time being.
All of them possessed strong superpowers, all above the fifth rank. Leaving the base and facing these raging storms and snowstorms was not a difficult task for them; they could simply use their superpowers to create a protective barrier around themselves.
Moreover, the bear ice forms a thin film of ice around them, a very thin layer, but enough to block out all the wind and snow.
Lu Yize and the others adapted to the temperature outside the base, and Chen Ping provided a floor plan, explaining, "The closer you get to the meteorite, the lower the temperature; the center is probably below minus 500 degrees Celsius."
"And the temperature is still dropping."
The temperature at their base location started at 30 degrees Celsius, then dropped rapidly, falling to minus 120 degrees Celsius in just one hour. Now the temperature drop is gradually slowing down, but it hasn't stopped.
Therefore, Lu Yize decided to take advantage of this time to dig for black crystal meteorites. This was the first day of the extreme cold, and the temperature would continue to drop afterward.
People from the previous generation called these first three days the "golden three days." During this time, corpses on the verge of death were resurrected by the large amount of supernatural energy in the air, turning into rotting corpses, similar to zombies, but without the crystal core that zombies possess and function normally.
These corpses will die directly, but the large number of viruses they contain will spread, and the deadly viruses will revive. However, it won't be long before the black crystal meteorite trembles again, and the extreme temperature rise will cause these corpses to die directly.
These superhumans could clearly sense the immense supernatural power in the air. No wonder those rotting bodies could walk again; the immense supernatural power mobilized the flesh and blood in their bodies that had not yet been completely exhausted, driving them to move.
In my past life, many people died under these circumstances, where the extreme cold weather turned into extreme heat, and torrential rains and floods followed one after another.
Therefore, many people in their past lives regretted not seizing the opportunity to go out and gather food and store grain during the first three days.
Now that he knew about it earlier, Lu Yize would never let such an opportunity slip by. "Morse and Chen Ping will go to the seabed to collect the sea beasts that have just frozen to death, while the rest of you will come with me to dig for black crystals."
Lu Yize wasn't worried about Morse's fighting ability, and with Chen Ping, who was intelligent, assisting him, they could take advantage of the extreme cold to kill the sea beasts that had just frozen to death.
Firstly, it reduces the appearance of rotting corpses; secondly, it's a bargain, so why not take advantage of it? We can eat these freshly frozen sea monsters as soon as we get back, and who would complain about having too much food!
While they were discussing the division of labor, Jiang Yue's eyes glazed over and she started to drift off. Jiang Yue was the kind of person who didn't pay attention in class.
Jiang Yue's attention was drawn to the thin, glassy ice layer surrounding them, and she reached out her finger to touch the transparent ice.
The moment she touched it, the transparent ice layer gradually hardened, cracking like glass and spreading outwards as a layer of white snowflakes.
It wouldn't shatter, but it was emitting a chilling aura. Lu Yize, who was still assigning tasks to Chen Mingzhang and the others, noticed Jiang Yue's movements with his mental power and subconsciously and quietly grasped Jiang Yue's hand, which had become cold from touching the ice.
Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yize, who was still frowning and discussing, and then looked down at her hand being held tightly, feeling a little happy.
