Chapter 149 148. Strange Movement on the Icefield
Su Hong was startled. The voice was definitely that of Li Dian, but it was a little older than ten years ago. It was as if his throat was infected with the cold and his voice was hoarse.
The communication key can establish a one-to-one communication channel, or a many-to-one communication channel. If Li Dian had not given the communication key to others, he should have recognized his identity as the fire transmitter.
After all, no one should know this communication key except him and Li Dian.
Then why did Li Dian hang up the communication so simply.
Su Hong guessed that there might be Dawn cultists around him, or that he was in a location that was inconvenient to receive communications.
Li Dian was sent to the Dawn Order by himself. This guess is quite reasonable. He should be performing some tasks for the Dawn Order now.
Su Hong walked out of the room and said thoughtfully: "Isn't this guy chasing the rebels?"
After not seeing each other for ten years, he was not sure whether Li Dian had abandoned the original agreement with him.
If he wanted to maintain his identity as a fire bearer, he and Li Dian had better chat on the terminal communication. Once they met, his strength would be exposed.
If Li Dian rebels, wouldn't he be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap?
"10 o'clock the day after tomorrow..."
The terminal time bound to his wrist is still in 2025, and he needs to adjust the clock on the terminal to know the accurate time.
I missed the communication time with Li Dian, and I don’t know when the next time will be.
"The terminal cannot connect to the Internet and its own time is wrong, so we can only find other survivors and borrow clocks to adjust the time."
There are two ways now.
Either kill Hanfeng and his party who are rushing to Shengshi, and search for the clock to adjust the time.
Either go to the Fire Sanctuary immediately to get in touch with the resistance, and connect the terminal to the Fire Sanctuary.
Hanfeng and his group have Melanie's Amber Eye mark on their bodies, and once they are killed, they will attract Melanie's attention.
This was how he was found by Melanie in the last simulation.
"It's a pity. If you obtain the Hand of Wind and Frost again, this talent should be upgraded to rare quality."
Hanfeng couldn't move, so he could only go to the Fire Shelter first, and then find a way to deal with Melanie, and deal with Hanfeng at the same time.
Su Hong stood on a tall building and looked down out the window. The dark sky enveloped the earth, the vast ice fields were lifeless and empty, and the blizzard blew tirelessly.
The coldness passed through the gaps in the armor and penetrated into the thick fur, freezing the blood and frosting the bone marrow.
Feeling a little stiff, Su Hong turned around and took a step. The blood in his body began to flow rapidly, and the heat emitted even evaporated the frost on the metal surface of the armor.
"Philip, you go ahead and explore first, and alert me if anything happens."
The black shadow formed a vortex, and Philip, who was like a ball, emerged from it.
"Okay, Master."
Su Hong jumped directly from the seventh floor and fell into the snow silently.
"wind."
He pushed his hand, and the storm changed its direction for him. At this moment, he was like a king in the snowstorm, surrounded by ice and snow, moving forward in the direction of Qinghai City.
Soon after, the abandoned buildings in downtown Shengshi continued to shrink behind him, until they were submerged by the hazy snow, leaving endless ice fields around him.
Su Hong continued to fly forward for an hour. If Philip hadn't come back to remind him, he would have almost met the Dawn Order who went to Qinghai City to explore the traces of the resistance.
What’s even more terrifying is that Melanie’s pet giant eagle has been wandering over the ice sheet, looking for possible signs of life.
Fortunately, he hid in the ice cave in time, otherwise he might have been discovered.
After realizing that there was an advance team that went deeper into the ice field than Hanfeng and his party, Su Hong slowed down his flight speed in order not to be discovered, and it took him five hours to reach the outskirts of Qinghai City. The snowstorm has stopped for a while, and the sky is clear, leaving only pure black. Looking at Qinghai City from a distance, the originally hazy and turbid picture becomes clear and clean, like a myopic patient who puts on glasses and feels that the world suddenly becomes clear and broad.
As Su Hong walked on the street, the cold wind whistled and piled up the snow. The ice surface shone like a lake, and the layers of waves were pushed into the distance.
"This city seems to be much more lively than Shengshi." Su Hong whispered to himself.
There seemed to be many active creatures hiding in the shadows he could sense.
The buildings in human ruins can protect against wind and snow and have thermal insulation effects, making them home to many creatures.
But the strange thing is that Su Hong can feel that the eyes of several creatures have been staying on him. Unlike other creatures that are shivering to avoid the cold wind, they don't seem to be afraid of the wind and snow, and they just keep hiding in the shadows to spy on him.
"Someone is watching me?"
It doesn't look like he's from the Dawn Order.
"Is it the resistance from the Fire Sanctuary?"
Su Hong's face was hidden under his helmet, making it difficult for people to see his true face.
He continued to walk forward, and the closer he got to the Fire Shelter, the more prying eyes he saw around him.
This probing behavior seemed to offend the snoopers hidden in the city. Before Su Hong could move forward, the building in front of him shook, the accumulated snow fell, and a humanoid monster with a skinny, charred body covered in ice and snow crystals climbed up. Climb the railing and swing towards him.
It was as flexible as a gecko, its stinging claws dug deeply into the wall, its back was like a blade that made people shudder, and its thick and powerful tail slapped the ice shell, cutting it in half like a sawtooth.
Su Hong stood there, his eyes focused, and the monster information appeared on the game interface.
[Ghoul Predator of the Ghoul Nest]
[Disaster Level: Ancient]
[Disaster Level: Level 30]
[Disaster Skills: Ghoul Blade (Exquisite +), pawl, back blade, tail blade...an absolute sharp blade born from the blood of bones, growing through wear and tear, always staying sharp, and can easily cut through walls and cut off Steel. 】
[Disaster Skill: Devil Muscle (Exquisite +), sinews, bones, muscles and all body structures have reached the physical limit, and the strong and beautiful body can explode with amazing power. 】
"This skill..."
Su Hong's eyes narrowed. He felt that this ghoul was terrifyingly powerful. If he was just an ordinary level three undead like Hanfeng, he might be frightened into a cold sweat the moment he saw the ghoul predator.
But unfortunately, the power he controls is far more terrifying than this ghoul predator.
The Wight Predator lingered on the ruined wall, seemingly in no hurry to take action, just sizing him up.
Su Hong raised his head and said: "Mr. Corpse Ghost, please take me to the Fire Sanctuary."
As soon as this was said, the corpse predator's movements paused. It stared at Su Hong with its dark eyes, as if to say that it looked like a fool.
However, Su Hong could see some hidden surprise in its eyes. It remained still, thinking about how the human in front of it knew about the Fire Sanctuary.
Have wisdom?
Before Su Hong could continue to speak, he suddenly felt an invisible wave coming from an unknown part of the city.
Although he didn't feel any pain, the wave was more like some kind of barrier, cutting him off from all contact with the outside world.
"This barrier should be used to shield the Amber Eye."
"Wait a minute, they won't think of me as a Dawn cultist."
