Chapter 221 Great Cooling Down

It's urgent, it's really urgent.

Hearing the sound of the star gate's queue-free privilege being activated, Chen Fan had already guessed Lin's current mental state.

Thirty thousand credits were like a shot of adrenaline, sending Lin into a frenzy.

but……

The distance between the EL6173 star gate and the EL13697101 star gate can be seen just from the number - one is a star gate built near a four-digit universe, and the other is a star near an eight-digit universe. Door, the distance between the two is probably an extremely terrifying astronomical figure.

Chen Fan subconsciously turned to look at Machi in another cross-universe communication interface.

If he heard correctly just now, the EL6173 transit star gate that Lin went to was the star gate that Machi had previously managed.

So, he directly asked Mochi: "Mochi, how long does it take for the EL6173 star gate to reach us?"

Mochi frowned and pondered for a moment: "If I remember correctly, there should be three transit star gates in the middle, right?"

"I'll open a wormhole near you first."

In the darkness, little bits of light emerged in the lush forest.

The originally empty underground space was now crowded with people - before the storm came, everyone in Varela City entered the core energy area of ​​Varela City under the command of Xu Huai.

the other side.

……

Mochi's sharp voice continued: "In order to reduce the gravitational influence of the large cosmic bubble, we will carry out dimensionality operations from near the star gate."

In the small universe, Varela.

Huge potholes were smashed into the concrete buildings, and deep cracks appeared on the cement-paved ground. As for the street lights and monitoring equipment installed on both sides of the street, they were subjected to unprecedented damage at this time. of blow.

Varela City.

Fist-sized hailstones fell rapidly from the dark sky and hit the ground directly. The sound of branches and trunks being broken could be heard one after another in the darkness.

The heavy church door was closed tightly, blocking out the biting cold wind howling outside.

The inner hall of the north church was empty.

But under the blow of a large amount of hail, the surface of the metal pyramid also became pitted.

"Twenty-five degrees below zero."

Four huge pyramid-shaped churches stand on the ground. They are almost the only buildings in the entire city of Varela that still retain their original appearance.

Suddenly, a silver-white spherical drone slowly passed through the dense hail, and those hard ice balls had no effect on it at all.

The sky was pitch black, all the original light of the sun, moon and stars had disappeared, and thick clouds were rapidly surging under the influence of the storm.

"Conservative estimate..."

"Fortunately, the energy of the antimatter battery is quite abundant, enough to support our consumption."

During this time of evacuation, the immigrants from Kukan Underground City were of great help - not only did they move various living supplies into the underground of the North Church in an orderly manner, but they also temporarily manufactured a large number of electric heating equipment.

……

"When the sun comes out, this storm should stop." Jiang Haichuan, who was following Hong Chengdong, responded in a low voice, "It's just a pity for the newly built houses in Varela City, let alone anything else. , just cleaning up the debris is a big project.”

The entire city of Varela was extremely quiet, and apart from the constant collision of falling hailstones, there was almost no other sound to be heard.

As he spoke, he quickly operated on the holographic panel in front of him: "EL6173, EL15671 and EL769361 star gates."

Although the appearance is a bit ugly, at this time, these electric heating equipment can almost be said to be the hope of the entire city of Varela!
"I don't know how long this storm will last..."

Xu Huai turned his head and looked at the various electric heating equipment directly connected to the thick wires, with a look of joy in his eyes.

"We'll arrive within thirty minutes."

But after all, the plasma barrier is not as good as real shield technology, and its protective effect is quite limited.

Under the erosion of endless hail and storms, the city of Varela, which was about to enter the industrial age, was already in a mess.

The drone quickly rose up, and after patrolling the entire city of Varela, it flew straight towards the center of Varela city.

Layers of white water vapor rise near the Wall of Sighs, which are hail and rain evaporated directly by high-temperature plasma.

"The sun?" Hong Chengdong's eyes became more and more worried, "Can the sun really still come out?"

The underground space of the North Main Church.

When it reached the top of the North Church, the flying height of the drone began to drop rapidly. Finally, it got into an inconspicuous small hole on the side of the North Church.

The lights are bright, and rows of server arrays are struggling to operate in the cold and humid air.

Talking to himself, Xu Huai raised his head and looked at the cylindrical metal object hanging high on the dome, and the worry in his heart was slightly reduced.

Xu Huai looked at the combined display made up of several simple screens in front of him with an ugly face, on which the high-precision detection images returned by the spherical drone were quietly played: "The weather is getting colder..."

The fully powered plasma barrier emits dazzling light in the endless darkness, like a towering protective shield that blocks all the hailstorms coming from the side outside the city.

Hong Chengdong's worried voice came from beside him: "Our daily necessities can only sustain consumption for about half a month, and we still have too little time to escape."

The moment the words fell, the warning sound of abnormal fluctuations in time and space sounded in the cockpit of [Varilla].

It was an antimatter battery from the People's Federation, and it was one of the "legacies" Chen Fan left for Varela City before he left.

"Why not?" Jiang Haichuan was stunned, and there was a trace of confusion on his expressionless face. "After the weather change ends, won't the sun appear again?"

Hong Chengdong did not speak, but silently turned his gaze to the simple display in front of Xu Huai.

He could see clearly just now that the world outside Varela City had fallen into endless darkness.

This is by no means an ordinary natural disaster!

Thinking of the starship that suddenly disappeared into the sky not long ago, Hong Chengdong's uneasiness gradually increased. Does this sudden change have something to do with Chen Fan?

Like Hong Chengdong, Xu Huai's face was also full of solemnity.

As the pope, she naturally knows more information as she has the authority to control Varela City:

Chen Fan and the invincible starship have disappeared.

To be precise, it disappeared in this universe.

Just before the sky change occurred, the moment the dazzling star point transformed from the starship disappeared, the spherical detection drone Chen Fan left in Varela City sounded an alarm of signal loss.

Xu Huai remembered what Chen Fan once said: As long as he is still in this universe, this spherical detection drone can contact him.

Tens of minutes after the drone issued a signal loss alarm, something unexpected happened.

To say that there is no relationship between the two...

At least Xu Huai didn't believe it.

"drop!"

A crisp beep came from the display screen in front of him, and a large number of dense parameters and charts appeared on it.

Bright red warning signs also flashed on it.

Xu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the data processed by Varela City's main control computer.

With just one glance, her face turned completely ugly - the temperature was gradually dropping at a faster rate, and if this trend continued, Varela's surface would soon become a truly extremely cold hell!

She took a deep breath to calm down the anxiety and panic in her heart.

"Uncle Dong."

Xu Huai turned to look at Hong Chengdong beside him: "The calculation results show that this storm will stop soon."

"After the storm slows down a little, you take all the young adults and move all the living supplies in Varela City to the North Church."

The smile that had just appeared on Hong Chengdong's face gradually dissipated, and his expression became solemn again.

"What happened outside?"

Xu Huai shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but the simulation results of the main control computer show that if the sun does not appear, there will be a continuous major cooling after the storm disappears."

"In a few dozen hours, the surface temperature will drop to minus one hundred degrees."

"After a few days, the air at the surface may even turn solid at extremely low temperatures."

As he spoke, Xu Huai turned to look at the simple screen beside him.

In the picture, the storm's momentum has begun to weaken, and the dense hail has begun to become sparse.

But the sky did not clear.

Snowflakes as dense as goose feathers replaced the original hail, rolling down from the sky and quickly falling on the ground covered with a thick layer of ice.

"That……"

Hong Chengdong listened to Xu Huai's description of the doomsday scene and froze in confusion: "Then what should we do?"

"……Wait."

Xu Huai raised his head again and looked at the dome above.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the thick cables and thick rock formations above the dome, extending straight to the sky shrouded in endless darkness.

"Wait for Chen Fan to show up."

"Only he can resolve this situation."

Xu Huai murmured softly.

……

Udar Mountains.

No, perhaps it should be called the Udal Plateau now - the Kuroshio has eaten away at a large number of mountains, and the majestic mountains have turned into patches of bare flat land.

The storm and hail had completely ceased.

In the endless darkness, a faint light appeared at the bottom of the only peak on the Udal Plateau.

Several tiny figures struggled to get out of a tunnel.

High-power searchlights shone directly around, but they were unable to dispel the extremely dense darkness.

Meng Zhixin, who was wearing a heavy cotton coat, frowned tightly as he looked at the heavy snow under the searchlight.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with the weather."

"The temperature dropped too fast!"

Meng Zhixin thought for a moment and issued an order in a deep voice: "Notify all the resistance forces to return to the headquarters at all costs."

"Tell everyone that from now on, no one is allowed to leave the dungeon without permission."

After saying that, Meng Zhixin raised his head and looked at the deep sky, and a figure that had disappeared for a long time subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Chen Fan..."

He murmured in a low voice, feeling a little confused deep in his eyes.

In the face of a natural disaster of this level, as the commander-in-chief of the resistance army, he felt powerless for the first time.
