Chapter 1996 Snowfield
Li Chengxi mentioned that Alyssa and the others could rest for a while, and also mentioned that it was not a virus or toxin that killed all the people in the village.

But Alyssa really didn't want to stay here for long. Undead creatures might be born in the village, and the light from the artificial sun had no effect in dispersing the undead creatures. Moreover, the lion dragon beast she met before might be nearby. The life detector discovered a huge fuzzy signal in the dense jungle outside the village.

So Alyssa and the others did not stop at all. After leaving the pyramid-shaped building in the center of the village, they headed straight in their intended direction.

"So basically, you got a new ability, right?"

“You can say that, but you can’t generalize.”

“That sounds complicated.”

Alyssa shrugged:

“I don’t really want to know.”

Li Chengxi's previous operations were just for fun. He seemed to be very comfortable with it.

And recently he has actually started to become reliable, which in itself shows that he is involved in something particularly troublesome.

Alyssa didn't really want to get involved in something that even God would find troublesome.

"Are we still moving toward the goal of high-energy response?"

"This is all we can do for now."

Alyssa opened the map and saw that Central Park could be connected to many work areas. This place itself was a place for people to relax after work.

This is good news.

But the bad news is that they are still quite a distance away from the nearest high-energy reaction area, and not all the portals in the fortress are still usable.

Considering the current speed of advancement, we would be lucky to reach the vicinity of the nearest high-energy reaction area before today.

Alyssa and her companions brought enough instant food to last for a week. The oxygen they relied on the most was enough for continuous use for at least four hours, and there were also more than enough weapons and ammunition.

But they also need to consider the issue of the return trip. If they can't find a portal that can quickly lead to the outer shell of the planet fortress, they will have to return the same way in three days.

While thinking about the future plan of action in their heads, the team had already walked up the slope on the other side and soon saw a big door.

According to the instructions on the map, after passing through this gate, you need to pass through a living area and a research area, and then go forward to the energy distribution area.

Everything else is easy to say. This energy distribution area is actually equivalent to a distribution room. There are many such areas in the fortress, which help distribute the energy provided by the reactor to various functions.

The high-energy reaction area is next to the energy distribution cabin, but it is not clear what it is because the map in Alyssa's hand is incomplete.

Considering that many fast-moving facilities may no longer be available, the next section of the journey should be simply longer.

But when everyone approached the door, Alyssa was startled.

The door is in very good condition, neither rusted nor fallen to the ground.

But the problem was that everyone saw a layer of frost on the thick door panels.

The temperature in Central Park always remains between 15 and 20 degrees, which is not a temperature that will cause frost. If there is frost on the door, it must be because it is very cold behind the door.

When people approached this door, they could clearly feel the cold air blowing on their faces, a bit like approaching an extra-large refrigerator.

Simply being cold is not a problem. Protective clothing can protect people from normal activities in the ultra-low temperature environment of the void. Its ability to isolate the outside temperature is quite good. What I am afraid of is that there are other troubles besides being cold. Sophia fiddled with the door and found a small stone tablet that should have been erected by someone who once lived in the village below. On it was engraved "Do not open" in the common language.

But this is the shortest way. If we don’t take this route, we will have to take a big detour and may not reach our destination in three days.

Alyssa nodded and asked Sophia to do it. The hydraulic and gear mechanisms of the door were not damaged by the low temperature, but the reaction seemed a little slow.

As the frost on the door was shaken off, the door slowly opened to the left and right, and the cold wind like a knife blew on everyone's face.

The first thing that catches your eye is a white cold mist, which is caused by the cooling of the surrounding water vapor, but the cold mist dissipates immediately.

All that was shown before everyone's eyes was a vast expanse of white, as if they had walked into a vast snowfield in an instant...

What Alyssa worried about still happened.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

It doesn’t matter what area this was originally, it is now made of ice and snow, comparable to the polar environment.

No one has passed by here for a long time, and the frost is like snow, layer upon layer, and very slippery.

Everyone was moving forward in the vast expanse of white, one step deep and one step shallow. In order to save oxygen, no one closed their masks to keep warm, which caused their faces to turn red from the cold.

The external thermometer on the protective suit showed that the temperature was already below minus 15 degrees Celsius, but because there was a lot of water vapor floating in the air, the perceived temperature might be even lower.

The protective clothing worn by everyone played a great role in keeping warm. Otherwise, if everyone was moving around in this big refrigerator, they would be frozen to death in no time.

Alyssa was puzzled as to how this damn place was formed.

The air conditioning in the living cabin cannot possibly set the temperature so low. Logically speaking, unless it is an ice storage in a planetary fortress, there would not be a need to set up a special low-temperature area.

But as I said just now, the map shows that this is a living area and research area. Even if the people of the Glow Ion Yin Society completely transform themselves into machines, it will be difficult for them to survive in this environment.

Could it be that the outer shell was broken, causing this part of the cabin to come into direct contact with the void, and the ultra-low temperature of the void affected the temperature of this cabin?

It's possible, but the likelihood is low.

Now, as long as Alyssa and the others look to the left, they can see a large ice lake that is not completely frozen but flows like running water.

The appearance of a lake must have been caused by the accumulation of water in the water circulation pipes inside the fortress. The lights in the distance above the head did not disappear, indicating that the energy supply was also normal.

If the outer shell had ruptured and the extremely low temperature of the void had affected this cabin, the channels for water circulation, air circulation and energy supply should have been disconnected long ago.

What's more, Alyssa didn't find any air-conditioning outlets along the way. Besides, such a large area has to rely entirely on air conditioning for cooling. How big would the air conditioner be and how much energy would it consume?
This extremely low temperature area seemed to have appeared out of thin air, which puzzled Alyssa.

The huge crystals that I saw when I first entered the fortress also appeared here, but they were buried under the ice and snow, so they were not very clear.

Since Li Chengxi mentioned that this thing might have "radiation", everyone tried to avoid it carefully and reduced their speed again.

"Boss, there is no road ahead."

Lieutenant Dui's voice came from the communication channel, and a "big rift valley" across the group's route blocked their way forward.
