Lin Zhen's current tactic was very clear. He absolutely did not want to continue fighting. Anyway, it was impossible for even an advanced warlord to break Lin Zhen's defense in two or three moves. He fought and retreated, starting from the third floor and going all the way up. By the time he reached the seventh floor, all the other party's warrior-level martial artists had left.
By the time he reached the tenth floor, more than half of the other party's beginner warlords were gone. There were only 20 people left in the team of nearly 40 people.
By the time he reached the thirteenth floor, all the other party's beginner warlords could not hold on any longer. They voluntarily withdrew from the fight and left the Zhaodong Building.
There were only six people left in the other party's team. Two were advanced warlords and four were intermediate warlords.
The battle had stopped. Everyone, including Lin Zhen, had lost their ability to fight. They shivered as they climbed up. The temperature seemed to drop a little with every floor they climbed.
Everyone's clothes were extremely stiff from the cold wind, and cracking sounds could be heard when they raised their hands and legs. Their eyebrows, beards, hair, and eyelashes were covered in a thick layer of frost, and their lips were as pale as paper.
Lin Zhen had put away his Black Dragon Spear. He could no longer use it at this time. He did not destroy the stairs and only walked up mechanically.
On the fifteenth floor, some intermediate warlords could not help but withdraw.
On the eighteenth floor, all the intermediate warlords had withdrawn. Only two advanced warlords had not given up.
At the bottom of the building, Su Na's camera was still filming.
"Dear netizens, will there really be a miracle? Lin Zhen is still persevering. Although I can't go out now, according to the situation at the scene, Lin Zhen seems to be climbing up the Zhaodong Building. Many martial artists can't stand the cold and have withdrawn. I have been counting the number of people chasing after Lin Zhen. It seems that only two people are still up there. "
"Cheer for Lin Zhen. Pray for Lin Zhen. He will definitely survive!"
Many people commented on the Internet.
"I have tested the temperature. Currently, the temperature outside of Ice City is about -40 degrees Celsius. But Ice City has walls, buildings, cars, heating, and a lot of people. The average temperature here is about 5 degrees Celsius higher than in the wilderness. This means that Zhaodong's current temperature is -45 degrees Celsius. This temperature is challenging the limits of human survival. Even a martial artist will not be able to last long."
"Previous poster, you've overlooked something. You're talking about the surface temperature. Lin Zhen's current location is in Zhaodong Building. Do you know how strong the wind is? I went to the rooftop of our house just now to test the temperature. I was almost blown down by the wind. The temperature there was minus 48 degrees Celsius. The height there is about the same as the fifteenth floor of Zhaodong Building. Who do you think can withstand such a temperature? Even if he is a martial artist, how long can he last? "
"I wonder which floor Lin Zhen is on right now? But I estimate that the temperature must be more than minus 50 degrees Celsius. This winter is too cold, colder than any other year. "
"Those martial artists are also idiots. Why are they chasing him in such a temperature? They can just surround Lin Zhen downstairs. He will soon freeze to death upstairs. That will save them a lot of trouble."
"Haha! It's easy for you to say. When the time comes, who will get the huge reward of three billion yuan? "
Just as the netizens were discussing this, another report from Zhaodong came.
The two advanced warlords who had been chasing Lin Zhen in the end had also retreated. They had persisted to the 22nd floor and could no longer go up. This news was from the video. The netizens had deduced this based on the mouths of the martial artists.
At first, there were still netizens cheering for Lin Zhen. But soon, two more advanced warlords appeared.
These two people were Lang Tianxiao and Yang Lie. They had only appeared after all the martial artists had retreated.
The two of them were wearing thick cotton clothes and dog fur hats. They resolutely started climbing the Zhaodong Building.
These two people were indeed stronger than the others, but the final result was the same.
Yang Lie persisted to the 27th floor and retreated, while Lang Tianxiao reached the 29th floor. Finally, he could no longer withstand the cold wind and retreated.
After they came down, their hands and feet were almost stiff. It took them a long time to recover. They then started cursing at the Zhaodong Building.
"Lin Zhen, that little bastard, is crazy. He would rather die than drag others down with him. If I had known this would happen, I would have rushed upstairs and killed him from the start."
"But this kid is dead for sure. The temperature above this building is definitely below -55 degrees Celsius. I want to see how long he can last there before he turns into an ice sculpture!"
Lang Tianxiao cursed for a while. These martial artists had to face a realistic problem.
That meant that Lin Zhen had been left behind in the building. Who killed him?
In the end, everyone reached a tacit understanding. They would surround Lin Zhen there and not give him a chance to leave the Zhaodong Building. They couldn't leave Zhaodong anyway, so they might as well stay.
When the wind and snow stopped, they would go to the top of the Zhaodong Building to search for Lin Zhen's corpse. They would then decide how to distribute it.
Although Lang Tianxiao was unwilling, looking at the forty martial artists present, he finally chose to remain silent. There was no better way at the moment.
These martial artists all chose to enter the nearby houses. There were people at every angle to ensure that Lin Zhen had no possibility of leaving.
The situation became a stalemate, which was something no one had expected.
Strong Wind Dojo, Dongfang Jun also let out a sigh of relief. Although the situation didn't look good, it was still better than Lin Zhen being killed immediately. Perhaps there really was a chance to reverse the situation.
As for Li Wanfeng and the other wargods, they didn't expect it either. They could only continue to stay at Dongfang Jun's place and wait for the situation to come to a conclusion.
The netizens on the Internet were all analyzing how long Lin Zhen could survive in that kind of environment.
Even if Lin Zhen had clothes and heating tools, he couldn't last too long in that kind of situation. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he would automatically come down. At that time, the martial artists below would wait for him to be exhausted. Lin Zhen still couldn't escape death.
Whether it was the martial artists besieging Lin Zhen, Su Na at the scene, Dongfang Jun and the others in the dojo, or the many netizens on the Internet, everyone was waiting, waiting for the Zhaodong incident to come to a conclusion.
*****
Lin Zhen himself was still climbing at this time. In fact, when he reached the twentieth floor, no one was following behind him.
In the wind and snow, Lin Zhen's body appeared with a layer of faint gold and silver light shield.
This was Lin Zhen's spiritual force light shield. He had comprehended it when he was in Yilan. At that time, he had even scared Zhao Liang.
Needless to say, spiritual force was tough. It could even resist knives, guns, and bullets, let alone this biting cold northwest wind. Although the strong wind cut like a knife, it couldn't shake Lin Zhen's spiritual force light shield at all.
It was also because of this reason that Lin Zhen dared to come to the Zhaodong Building. Even high-level warlords couldn't resist the cold here, but Lin Zhen could. In the entire Zhaodong, there was no safer place to break through than here, because no one would disturb him.
In this way, Lin Zhen climbed all the way to the top floor of the Zhaodong Building, the 36th floor.
When he reached the 36th floor, Lin Zhen found a pillar and sat down. This place could slightly resist the cold wind, so he didn't have to use too much of his spiritual force.
"I'm afraid that this place is almost -60 degrees Celsius. I'm afraid that the temperature in Antarctica is about this low. Coupled with this cold wind, ordinary people will definitely freeze to death within a minute. This should be an absolutely safe place."
Some bird feathers and feces could be seen here. This used to be the nest of mutant birds, but after the blizzard, the mutant birds had all fled. This place was definitely a forbidden area for humans.
"I came all the way to the Zhaodong Building because I knew that no one would disturb me due to the low temperature here. I have a spiritual force light shield to protect my body, so I'm not afraid of the cold. This period of time is the best opportunity for me to break through."
In order to break through to the warlord realm, Lin Zhen had been preparing for a long time. Now, everything was ready.
He had already reached the peak of the warrior level and was just one step away from being promoted to a warlord. Now, this opportunity had finally arrived.
He raised his hand, and a piece of dark energy stone appeared in his hand.
"This is the largest dark energy stone that has appeared on Earth. It can greatly improve my mental strength and allow me to be promoted to a warlord with strength that exceeds the limit of a warrior. This is the first step of my breakthrough!
"Li Tianhao and the others haven't appeared yet. They must have been observing my situation in the dark. However, it will be too late by the time they appear. Wait for me to come back."
On the top floor, the wind was howling, and the sky and earth were vast. Large snowflakes roared and rushed through the building. On the smooth floor, Lin Zhen's spiritual force light shield flickered.
As he held the dark energy stone with both hands, traces of obscure power began to be injected into Lin Zhen's body!
