Strange Cards

Chapter 429 Extreme Cold Disaster

At this moment, everyone noticed that the temperature reading was dropping rapidly, quickly falling from over 20 degrees to around zero degrees.

Upon seeing this, the hunters quickly put on their protective suits, and Feng Chuan immediately realized something was wrong and made a call to the logistics department.

"Gather all the residents of Linhai City and take them to the shelter."

"Don't let any village escape; use a specially made rescue vehicle."

"The temperature has dropped too quickly. It's still summer temperature now. Many people will freeze to death."

And just as Fengchuan said, the temperature did not stop after dropping to zero degrees, but immediately dropped to a terrifying sub-zero temperature.

Many people were still wearing short sleeves and shorts, and some who were playing in the water at the beach were frozen solid.

At that moment, in a large picture, everyone saw an iceberg drifting in from afar in the ocean.

As the dark iceberg approached from afar, the temperature of the thermometer's mercury bar dropped by at least ten degrees Celsius for every hundred meters it got closer.

By the time the iceberg approached the coast of Linhai City, the temperature had already dropped to around minus 100 degrees Celsius.

The vast majority of those who did not have time to evacuate were frozen to death, and only a very few lucky ones were rescued and taken refuge in bunkers.

What made the hunters even more terrified was that the temperature near the iceberg had reached around minus 250 degrees Celsius, and its core temperature was approaching minus 270 degrees Celsius.

Furthermore, the iceberg at the center of the outbreak triggered a global temperature drop.

Although Linhai City was one of the places most severely affected by the iceberg, temperatures also dropped on the other half of the planet.

Although not as severe as in Linhai City, the temperature still dropped by three to five degrees.

And this is the terror of natural disasters.

With a mere gesture, they can bring about the most terrifying disasters, even triggering global catastrophes.

Countless people died because of them, and as far as natural disasters go...

The number of people who die because of them is more common than eating and drinking.

The battle between Shigure and Joker was only spared because Shigure deliberately controlled the battlefield before losing his way, shifting it to the deep sea.

Even so, the aftershocks of Shigure and Joker's battle caused a terrifying disaster, with the strongest tsunami generated by the aftershocks reaching level twelve.

Earthquakes are even more common, but because the battlefield is in the deep sea, most of them are underwater earthquakes.

If Shigure and Joker were to fight in Nankai City, then at least the entire South would be breached by their battle.

The battle between the two giants was so terrifying that the whales, weighing hundreds of tons, were like weapons that could be used and discarded at will, picked up and used as needed, and then blown up as they were used.

The water in that deep sea area is still scarlet red, and no marine life dares to approach within hundreds of miles.

At that moment, the iceberg suddenly underwent a strange change.

The pitch-black iceberg suddenly cracked open, and then a giant arm that looked like it could touch the sky stretched out from the iceberg and slammed into it.

"roar!!!"

A roar came from within the iceberg, and then the pitch-black iceberg finally revealed its true form.

It was a giant black ape standing on an iceberg, its terrifying size reaching the size of a small mountain.

The ape's extremely long limbs allow its forearms to rest on the ground, but as the ape moves forward, its arms and feet resting on the sea surface instantly freeze into a very thick layer of ice, allowing it to stand on it and move.

Behind the iceberg, countless terrifying ghosts clash, their target the coastal city covered in ice and snow.

"What the hell..."

Feng Chuan felt a chill run down his spine looking at these things, and then he saw a section of door frame frozen inside the iceberg.

"Damn it! Where's the Gate of Hell?"

"Is this what a true natural disaster looks like?"

But Fengchuan only swore a couple of times before starting to arrange his troops.

"All hunters, except for the mech pilots, prepare for battle."

"Thanks to God's blessing, our research on the Remnant Fire Mech is advanced enough that it can withstand the severe cold without any problem."

"The remaining research hunters are to prepare to deploy satellite weapons."

"Guan Yun, you take control of the collapse pulse firing button."

"If things become unmanageable, launch immediately."

"Don't worry about our lives."

"Do you understand?"

As Feng Chuan spoke, he handed a metal briefcase to Guan Yun and opened it right in front of Guan Yun.

Looking at the small alloy briefcase, Guan Yun suddenly felt an immense pressure on his shoulders, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

But none of them gave Guan Yun a chance to adapt, and they all left one after another.

Before Qi Wu left, he patted Guan Yun on the shoulder and said...

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

"When it's time to act, act without worrying about us."

"I trust your judgment."

After Qi Wu finished speaking, he left. Guan Yun looked at the alloy case in front of him and felt lost and helpless for the first time in all his years as a Hunter.

Just like when I was a child, my parents weren't around, and I had to learn to walk all by myself.

……

Sitting in the tree, Chun watched the numerous charred mechs fly away and sneezed.

"Achoo!"

"Damn it, that bastard managed to lower the temperature so much."

"This thing should be put in the refrigerator as part of the cooling duct."

Shiyu looked at Chun, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and skirt, opened the black hole, took out a thick robe, and threw it to Chun.

"You're just relying on your own strength to act recklessly."

"Those guys can only move freely because of their late-stage Earthly Calamity level strength. If you weren't relying on your half-step Calamity level strength, a normal person wearing this outfit in such an extremely low temperature would be in a very cold environment."

"They were frozen solid long ago."

After taking the robe, Chun patted the snow off her body and shook it off before speaking.

"What? You're looking at me wearing so little."

"You feel sorry for me?"

Shi Yu didn't say anything. Just as she was about to light a cigarette, she discovered that the gasoline inside the lighter had frozen solid at such a low temperature, making it unusable.

As Chun watched Shigure struggle to light the cigarette, she put on her robe and used the hem to cover her beautiful legs.

"Okay, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as you feeling sorry for me."

Chun looked at the mechs fighting in the snow, then glanced at the otherworldly beings who were finishing off the attackers from the shadows.

"Speaking of which, these hunters are really awful."

"After you left, technological progress slowed down. So many years have passed, and in theory, technology should have made another breakthrough."

"In the end, the equipment we rely on to face natural disasters is still the remnant mechs and mech giants you left behind."

"Miscellaneous..."

Shigure followed Tsubaki's gaze, then reached out and patted her head, shaking off the falling snow before pulling up the hood of her cloak.
