Chapter 435: Ice City 6
Chapter 435: Ice City 6
Lin Zhi stood on the streets of the Ice City, her breath instantly turning to white mist. The city seemed frozen in an eternal winter, its facades covered in icicles, gleaming with a chilling light.
Yan Jun rubbed his hands and said, "This damn place is really cold. We came here to look for refrigeration machinery. Can we find it?"
Zhang Ying wrapped himself tightly in his thick cotton coat, his teeth chattering as he spoke, "We'll definitely find it. If the Zerg can build a city like this, they must have their own unique cooling technology."
The three of them walked cautiously on the street, their soles rubbing against the ice making a "crunching" sound. Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of them. They were the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai.
Wang Jun saw them and grinned, "Hey, why are humans here?"
Lin Zhi stepped forward and said, "We are here to look for refrigeration machinery and hope to get your help."
Wang Kai snorted: "Why should I help you?"
Yan Jun frowned and said, "We are all trying to survive in this apocalypse. Helping each other is beneficial to all."
Wang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you're a little sincere, come with us."
Everyone followed the Zerg brothers to a large, factory-like building. Wang Jun pointed at the gate and said, "What you want is inside."
Lin Zhi opened the door and a cold breath hit her in the face. Various huge and complex mechanical devices were placed inside.
Zhang Ying said excitedly: "Wow, these must be refrigeration machinery, so spectacular!"
They were studying it carefully inside when four figures walked in. They were the four Zerg siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li.
Li asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Zhi explained, and Li Hua said, "These refrigeration machines are key to our Zerg's ability to maintain the low temperature of the Ice City, but they are very complicated to operate."
Yan Jun scratched his head and said, "Can you teach us?"
Li Li curled her lips and said, "I can teach you, but what's the benefit?"
Zhang Ying quickly said, "We can share some of humanity's survival skills and supplies. It will be mutually beneficial for everyone."
After some bargaining, the Zerg brothers and sisters began to explain to them how to operate the refrigeration machinery.
Li pointed to a large instrument panel and said, "This is the key to temperature control. We need to adjust the parameters based on the outside temperature and the city's internal demand."
Li Ming added: "These pipes must ensure the normal circulation of the coolant, otherwise the cooling effect will be greatly reduced."
Linzhi and the others listened attentively, occasionally asking questions. Just when they were almost done learning, the entire factory suddenly shook violently.
Wang Kai shouted, "Oh no! Something seems to be attacking the Ice City!"
Everyone ran to the window and saw a group of strange-looking creatures outside rushing towards the Ice City.
Yan Jun said nervously, "What is this? I've never seen it before."
Wang Jun's face was solemn. "These are mutant beasts. They have been eyeing the Ice City covetously, wanting to steal our resources."
The Zerg brothers and sisters immediately prepared to go out to fight, and Linzhi and his friends were not willing to be outdone.
Zhang Ying said: "We can't just watch, we have to fight together!"
They picked up their makeshift weapons and rushed towards the mutant beasts.
Lin Zhi brandished a long knife, slashing at a charging mutant beast and shouting, "Everyone be careful, these guys are very powerful!"
Li Ze shot out ice blades, stabbing the mutant beast accurately.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the streets of Ice City were filled with shouts and cries of killing. Suddenly, a huge mutant beast rushed towards Lin Zhi, and was about to pounce on him.
At the critical moment, Yan Jun rushed over, blocked the mutant beast's attack with his body, and shouted: "Lin Zhi, go!"
Lin Zhi was extremely anxious. He turned around and joined forces with other Zerg to fight against the huge mutant beast. After a hard fight, they finally repelled it.
However, more mutant beasts came and the situation became increasingly critical.
At this moment, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan came to support with a group of humans.
Hua Yuan yelled, "We're here to help you!"
Everyone's morale was boosted, and they fought the final battle with the mutant beasts together.
After a fierce battle, the mutant beasts were finally repelled and the Ice City temporarily returned to peace.
Lin Zhi panted heavily, looked at the tired but excited crowd, and said, "Thanks to everyone this time, otherwise the Ice City would be in danger."
Wang Jun patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, we will be allies from now on."
Li Yu smiled and said, "That's right, let's protect the Ice City together and share resources!"
Everyone returned to the factory to continue to improve the operation and maintenance of the refrigeration machinery. After this battle, the relationship between them became closer, and they worked together to survive in this cruel Zerg world.
In the days that followed, they continued to improve refrigeration technology to make the low-temperature environment of the Ice City more stable. At the same time, they also strengthened defenses to prevent the mutant beasts from attacking again.
Lin Zhi stood on the wall of the Ice City, gazing into the distance, his heart filled with hope. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to carve out a way to survive in this strange and dangerous world.
Over time, thanks to their efforts, the Ice City gradually prospered. The refrigeration machinery not only maintained a low-temperature environment in the city but also supported some of the Zerg's industrial production. Linzhi and his fellow Zerg brothers and sisters also developed a deeper understanding of cooperation, forging a deep friendship.
One day, Linzhi saw a group of children playing in the city square. There were Zerg children and human children among them, all laughing and talking happily, free of the fear and alienation they once had. Linzhi watched this scene with a gratified smile on his face.
Yan Jun came over and said, "I never thought we could create such a life here."
Zhang Ying also nodded: "Yes, all this is hard-earned."
At this time, Wang Jun and Wang Kai came over. Wang Jun said, "Ice City is getting better and better now. We must continue to work hard to make it stronger."
Lin Zhi, Yan Jun and Zhang Ying sat in the cabin of the spaceship, feeling both excited and nervous. They were about to arrive in the mysterious Zerg world, a place full of unknowns and dangers.
"I don't know what the Zerg world is like." Lin Zhi said with a frown.
Yan Jun patted his shoulder and said, "Who cares? We're here now, so let's explore."
Zhang Ying looked expectant, "Maybe we can discover some shocking secrets."
The spaceship slowly landed on a plain in the Zerg world. Surrounded by desolate ground, the wind howled. The three of them cautiously stepped out of the spaceship. In the distance, they could vaguely see the outlines of some buildings.
As they walked towards the buildings, they suddenly heard a low roar. Lin Zhi nervously clenched his weapon. "What's that sound?"
Before they could react, a group of strange-looking Zergs emerged from all directions. These Zergs had hard shells, sharp claws, and eyes that flashed with strange light.
"Everyone be careful!" Yan Jun shouted, and started a fierce battle with the Zerg. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying were not to be outdone, and they all used their own skills.
During the battle, Lin Zhi discovered that these Zergs seemed to have different levels, some with stronger attacks, while others were more agile. They struggled to resist the Zerg's attacks, and gradually some scars appeared on their bodies.
Just when they were about to collapse, a figure suddenly rushed out, the weapon in his hand flashing with cold light, instantly killing several Zergs. The three of them looked closely and found that it was Wang Jun and Wang Kai, a pair of Zerg brothers.
"Why are you here?" Lin Zhi asked in surprise.
Wang Jun panted, "We sensed a battle here, so we came to take a look."
With the addition of the Zerg brothers, the situation was immediately reversed. Together they wiped out all the surrounding Zerg.
After a short rest, the group continued on their way, heading towards the buildings. As they approached, they discovered that it was a huge ice city, emitting a cold atmosphere.
"This ice city looks so spectacular." Zhang Ying exclaimed.
They walked into the Ice City. The streets were deserted, and the houses were all built of ice. Suddenly, a voice came from the alley next to them: "Who are you?"
When everyone looked over, they saw four siblings, Li Yan, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, standing there, looking at them warily.
"We came from outside and accidentally broke in here." Yan Jun explained.
Li frowned and said, "This is not a safe place. You'd better leave quickly."
Wang Jun stepped forward and said, "We are here to look for some clues about the Zerg world. Can you help us?"
Li Li looked at them and said, "Then come with us. The situation here is very complicated."
The four siblings brought everyone to an ice house where an old man was sitting, and Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan were also there.
The old man spoke slowly, "What is your purpose in coming to the Zerg world, you outsiders?"
Lin Zhi said: "We want to know everything about the Zerg world and hope to get some help."
The old man nodded and said, "This world hides many secrets, and it's not easy to understand them. However, you can go to the central square of Ice City. There may be some clues there."
After thanking the old man, everyone headed towards the central square. Along the way, they saw the Zerg busy doing various things, some carrying ice, and some building houses.
Arriving at the central square, it was crowded with people and a dazzling array of stalls. Linzhi and his friends searched for clues everywhere, and suddenly, some strange cards placed on a stall caught their attention.
"What is this?" Yan Jun picked up a card that said "Ice City Refrigeration Ticket".
The stall owner was a short Zerg, his eyes rolling. "This is a good thing. With this ticket, you can go to the core area of Ice City, where there are many precious items."
Lin Zhi was a little skeptical. "Is this ticket real? Is it a scam?"
The stall owner patted his chest and assured me, "It's absolutely genuine. I never lie. If you don't believe me, buy one and try it. If it's not worth it, return it to me."
Yan Jun thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy one. Maybe we can find something useful here."
Everyone pooled their money to buy a plane ticket, and then followed the stall owner's instructions to a huge ice cave.
"This is the entrance. Be careful when you go in, it's very dangerous inside," said the stall owner.
Linzhi took a deep breath and led the way into the ice cave. It was freezing cold inside, and strange lights flickered on the walls. As they moved forward cautiously, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
"Everyone be careful, something seems to be coming." Zhang Ying said in a low voice.
A group of transparent Zerg figures slowly emerged. These Zergs moved extremely quickly and had strong attack power. Everyone immediately took up combat stances and engaged in a fierce battle with these transparent Zergs.
During the battle, Li suddenly discovered that these transparent Zerg seemed to be afraid of a certain light. He shouted, "Attack them with strong light weapons!"
Everyone took out their powerful light weapons and shone them at the transparent Zerg. Sure enough, the Zerg dodged under the strong light, and some even dissipated directly.
After a hard fight, they finally managed to repel the Transparent Zerg. Continuing forward, they finally arrived at a vast ice chamber. In the center of the chamber sat a massive crystal ball, emanating a mysterious aura.
"Maybe there is a secret hidden in this crystal ball." Lin Zhi said excitedly.
They were about to approach the crystal ball when a powerful wave of energy suddenly hit them, knocking them to the ground.
"Who is stopping us?" Yan Jun roared.
At this time, a figure slowly appeared. It turned out to be a powerful guardian of the Zerg world.
"You outsiders, how dare you break in here without permission and try to spy on the core secrets of this world? You are simply courting death!" the guardian shouted.
Everyone hurriedly explained, "We just want to understand the Zerg world. We have no ill intentions."
The guardian snorted coldly, "Hmph, you understand? It's not that simple. However, since you are still quite brave, I can give you a chance. If you can solve the mystery in this ice room within three days, I will allow you to continue exploring."
With that, the guardian vanished. Everyone gazed at the intricate runes and patterns surrounding the crystal ball, lost in thought.
"This puzzle is really difficult. How can it be solved in three days?" Li Ming was a little frustrated.
Li Hua did not give up. "If we work together, maybe we can find a clue."
For the next three days, everyone worked on the puzzle day and night. They carefully observed the runes and patterns, constantly trying various methods. Finally, on the evening of the last day, Lin Zhi suddenly thought of a key clue, and after some reasoning, they successfully solved the puzzle.
The crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, and within it emerged images that revealed the origin, development, and hidden secrets of the Zerg world. Everyone was stunned, yet at the same time, they understood the complexity and mystery of the Zerg world.
The Guardian reappeared, "You are quite capable. Now that you have solved the mystery, continue your exploration. But remember, do not attempt to change the rules of this world."
With that, the Guardian departed. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination. They knew that there were still many more unknowns waiting to be uncovered, and they would continue to embark on thrilling adventures in this mysterious Zerg world.
In their subsequent adventures, they relied on the clues and knowledge they gained in Ice City to gradually delve into every corner of the Zerg world. They met more diverse Zerg and other races, and encountered various dangers and challenges. Sometimes, disagreements led to disagreements, but they ultimately came to mutual understanding and overcame difficulties together.
