Chapter 196: Temperature Drop

After Zheng Jinnan put on the red cloak, Zhu Lin handed him a fire fruit and said, "Go in and take care of your mother. Make sure to give her hot water every hour. If her body temperature drops, she may die again, and I can’t save her anymore."

Hearing what she said, Zheng Jinnan nodded quickly and said, "This disciple will follow Shifu’s instruction. Thank you, Shifu, for saving my mother."

Zhu Lin rubbed his head gently, nodded, and asked, "Where are Miss Meng and Miss Wen?"

Zheng Jinnan shook his head and said, "I didn’t see them when I came out."

"All right. You can go in now." Zhu Lin said after a moment of silence.

Walking downstairs, Zhu Lin looked around and found Meng Zhelan and Wen Na boiling water in the kitchen. Meng Zhelan saw her coming and asked, "Elder Sister, are you alright?"

Zhu Lin nodded to her and said, "I’m fine. Do you feel better now?"

"Mhm. We just feel a little stiff now." Wen Na replied with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Lin said: "Right now, the situation outside is very chaotic. You two should stay home and not go out."

Wen Na and Meng Zhelan nodded and sent her out. After leaving the villa, Zhu Lin came to Sector E, where most ordinary people lived. Before leaving the barrier, Zhu Lin wore the red cloak made of phoenix feathers.

When the guards saw her, they rushed to greet her and asked, "Miss Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Lin looked at the chaotic situation in Sector E and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"More than half of the people have suffered from frostbite, and more than thirty people have died due to the sudden drop in temperature. Currently, the mission center is distributing winter clothes and some heat packs as emergency measures, but I am afraid the situation will get worse." The guard replied with a worried look on his face.

"Why?" Zhu Lin asked with a slight frown.

The guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "Just now, we received information from a traveling merchant. He said that when he was selling things at the military base, he heard a warning issued by the military base, saying that the temperature would drop to minus twenty in the next few days."

Listening to the guard, Zhu Lin said, "Humans can still survive at a temperature of minus twenty degrees. We should be able to survive this winter."

The guard hesitated and said, "But the traveling merchant also said that the military base said that there will be three major cooling events in the future, and the lowest temperature is expected to be minus seventy-six degrees. To make matters worse, winter will last for at least a year."

Before Zhu Lin had time to ask further, a fight broke out near the mission center. The guard looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Miss Zhu, you’d better go back. This Sector E is not safe now."

After saying that, the guards hurried to catch those who made trouble. Looking at the busy guards, Zhu Lin thought for a while and then walked towards the mission center. Before she reached the mission center, someone grabbed her arm from behind. When she turned around, she saw Xiu Wu looking at her with a frown.

"Xiao Lin, why are you here? You should go back now." He said while pulling her to the side.

Zhu Lin looked at his expression and asked, "Is there something going on here?"

Xiu Wu lowered his voice and said, "Due to the sudden drop in temperature, we discovered that there are several groups of spies in Sector E, and their target is you. I think there are still many spies hiding around here, so you’d better go back."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Lin was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you caught some of them?"

Xiu Wu shook his head and said, "They are all supernatural beings, so they are more resistant to the cold. By the time we found their trail, they were gone. Moreover, they were well prepared and successfully caused panic among the people and took the opportunity to escape."

After listening to his words, Zhu Lin asked, "Are these people sent by Lei Tiliang?"

"We don’t know the answer yet, but he is the biggest suspect at the moment." Xiu Wu replied with a frown.

Seeing Zhu Lin deep in thought, Xiu Wu held her hands and said worriedly: "Xiao Lin, I know you are strong and can protect yourself. But now, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is difficult for us to defend against them. Additionally, we don’t know why they targeted you. I hope you will remember that if anything happens to you, I will destroy the world and let them all be buried with you."

Zhu Lin was a little bit surprised when she heard what he said. She stared at him for a long time before nodding and said, "Mhm. I will be more careful."

Seeing that she understood, Xiu Wu smiled and asked gently: "Why are you here?"

She pointed at the mission center and said, "I heard from the guards that the mission center is distributing free winter clothes and heat packs, so I thought maybe the formation plates I made in the past could come in handy."

After speaking, she took out a palm-sized formation plate and said, "This is a fire element formation plate. Although it is not as effective as a real fire element formation, it does not require spiritual energy to activate it and can be used by ordinary people. To activate this formation plate, all we have to do is arrange the star formation in the middle of the formation plate."

Xiu Wu watched her demonstrate how to arrange the fire element star formation, and thought to himself: ’After I left, her understanding of the formation has improved a lot.’
