…
After the undead were wiped out, a Water Mage and Light Mage from a high school volunteered to clean up the Skyscraper Fortress. They were cleaning up the filth left behind by the undead.
The undead at the bottom of the sea were completely wiped out. They turned into a huge black and red tide that surged into the city's dam without any warning. They broke into the Alliance of Mages' headquarters on the other side of the river, but quickly retreated after the death of the Vengeful Demon Empress.
It was like waking up from a nightmare, leaving behind a lingering fear.
"Speaking of which, is the tide still receding?" Mofan suddenly pointed at the exposed eastern area of the seabed and asked in confusion.
"It seems like the receding tide has nothing to do with Ding Yumian's revenge," said Dean Xiao.
"The people of the Shoreline Alliance are already investigating. I believe we'll have a result soon," Professor Shi said.
"We'll probably see that guy's true face soon." Dean Xiao seemed to know something, but he didn't elaborate.
The undead at the bottom of the sea had calmed down, and the sea monster army had been wiped out as they wished. However, everyone knew that there was more than one Ocean God, and the Ocean God that Ding Yumian had transformed into was definitely not the one with the highest level.
In the Pacific Ocean, the scale of the Sea Demon Tribe was dozens of times larger than on land. There were still many races that could pose a huge threat to the survival of humans. However, at this moment, there was a temporary peace.
…
It seemed that due to the receding tide, the earth became colder and colder. The places where there was still a lot of stagnant water began to freeze. The entire coast seemed to be facing the Arctic Ocean. Some floating ice could even be seen floating on the surface of the sea.
No matter how dazzling and enchanting the lights in the city were, they seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness. Every door and window was tightly shut. Without northern heating facilities in Shanghai, if one stepped on the floor barefoot, it would be like stepping on a needle tip …
Many shops began to lock their doors, which was what Mofan was most unwilling to see, because it would cause all kinds of delicacies to disappear. People's lives began to become monotonous and boring, no longer like living, but purely seeking survival in this cold season, hoping to get through it as soon as possible.
"A lot of people are sick. Their bodies are kept at a low temperature, so they are unable to generate heat. Some of the elderly and children have already died in their sleep," Xinxia said with a troubled expression.
The coastal area was already damp to begin with. Coupled with the prolonged cold, many people's bodies were unable to adapt.
In the five base cities, many people were suffering from this "hypothermia" disease. Even if they were placed in a high temperature environment, their bodies would not be able to warm up.
These people, on the whole, appeared to be drowsy. Often, they would curl up and lose consciousness, never to wake up again.
Xinxia had been trying to find a solution to this problem, because this kind of hypothermia would happen to many people as the cold season continued.
Even if only one-tenth of the people would die in a cold sleep, the population of the five base cities would be greatly reduced!
"Is it caused by some kind of virus or demon parasite?" Mofan asked seriously.
Xinxia shook her head. Parthenon had a lot of experience dealing with plague germs. As the Saintess of Parthenon, how could she not find the source?
But this time, the situation was too special.
People have low temperatures only because of the weather.
It was only because their bodies were unable to endure the continuous cold. Even if they purposely brought the disease to a warm place, their body temperature would never return to normal.
Even if a person's body temperature dropped by just one degree, it was still very scary, let alone a few weeks or a month.
"Mages are no exception," Xinxia said.
"What about Fire Mages?" Mofan asked.
"They're suffering from the same disease."
It was Mofan's first time hearing that Fire Mages were suffering from hypothermia.
It was indeed a troublesome disease. On second thought, it was reasonable. If it was a normal disease, it would not spread across a large area with Xinxia around.
"I've asked Ling Ling to help me collect the data of the patients. I'm trying to find someone who is resistant to the disease, or is susceptible to it, so I can tell them how to prevent it." Xinxia was so worried that she had lost her appetite. The dishes on her plate had already gone cold, yet she did not eat much.
"Then let's go together, I'll help you," Mofan said.
"Mm," Xinxia nodded.
Even though it was the middle of the month, Xinxia still had to work. The five base cities were already in a desperate situation, so Xinxia did not plan to rest well.
…
On their way to the Clearsky Hunter Agency. The alleys of Jing 'an District, which were originally filled with the flavor of old Shanghai, were extremely quiet due to the endless cold. Most of the old men who liked to smoke were now curled up under their blankets. They did not even have the freedom to leave their beds.
After all, the hypothermia disease had already spread across the five base cities.
No one wanted to be the one who could not warm up, and leave under their blankets.
The Clearsky Hunter Agency was still open for business. The more dangerous the situation was, the more popular the hunters who had the courage to survive outside the safe zone were.
The resources of the city were constantly being depleted. Those who were able to leave the safe zone and come back alive were always better off than the others.
"We're eating hotpot. We haven't eaten anything yet."
After pushing open the door, Mofan found the Clearsky Hunter Agency to be quite lively. There was a large pan on top of an induction cooker, and the aroma of the hot food filled the entire room.
"Mofan and Xinxia, come and sit. You came at the right time!" Old Man Bao said with a smile.
Ling Ling and Leng Qing sat together. The two sisters were becoming more and more alike. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell them apart.
Leng Qing smiled politely, maintaining her quiet style. Ling Ling saw that Xinxia was very happy, and immediately changed a chair for her.
Mofan awkwardly found that there was no place for him to sit. The three seniors of the Clearsky Hunter Agency were also there, so Mofan could only squeeze with Old Man Bao.
"Sister Xinxia, eat more. I'll tell you my new discovery after you're done." Ling Ling seemed very happy. It was probably because of the results of her research in the past few days. After saying that, Ling Ling also winked at Mofan and said, "Mofan, we also have new discoveries."
There were not many things that could make Ling Ling so excited.
Mo Fan could vaguely guess what was going on. However, he decided to first finish off the food in front of him. Sure enough, having two people eating alone would lower one's appetite. Eating hotpot together with everyone was simply too fragrant, especially in this kind of cold season.
First, he set a small goal. For example, one second. Remember: Book Guest House Mobile Edition Website:
