Chapter 249 Storm and Rose

The laughter of the young men and women still echoed in their ears, but snow suddenly floated in the silent night sky.

That snow is huge.

Like a goose feather, it came without warning. The flying snow fell from the silent deep sky and enveloped the entire city. The Eiffel Tower, which was lit up by the whole ceremony, was like a lady in a shining haze, Stand proudly in this ice world.

At first, the people under the tower were only surprised, but not very surprised.



After all, it is winter, and the young men and women even showed unusually happy emotions. On Valentine’s Day, holding a loved one and hugging a red rose in the snow is a pretty good thing.

“Look, it’s snowing.”

“very nice.”

“so beautiful.”

The lovers held hands tightly, leaning against each other, looking at the cold wind blowing with happiness and snow all over the flowers.

Only a few people couldn’t help but shrink their necks, and said in a joke: “How come it suddenly gets so cold this day.”

Cheng Lin stood outside the crowd, staring at the sky quietly.

In the well-known physical experience, the temperature is not very low when it snows, however, it is not the same if there is a cold wind.

“got windy.”

Cheng Lin murmured.

He was keenly aware that a cold wind was approaching, and soon he could really feel that an extremely cold wind from nowhere was blowing along the city’s extensive streets.

The cold wind was extremely cold, blowing heavy snow with goose feathers, and it became a blizzard. The wind whimpered, rose abruptly, and got bigger and bigger, and the temperature was falling rapidly at a clearly perceptible speed.

Finally, the lovers who pursued romance felt something was wrong.

“It’s cold…”

“Honey, hug me, how come this horrible weather has become so cold.”

“Let’s go back to the hotel, the room has been opened long ago, well, it’s too cold outside, I can’t… OK…”

As people said, gradually, the lovers began to lean more and more tightly, not because of intimacy, but because of the cold. They began to tremble, and their faces full of laughter were blown by the biting cold wind and turned into a light blue color.

People huddled together, the thick down jackets seemed to have become furnishings, and the cold was like a pervasive devil, licking their bodies.

“Go! Leaving…Leaving…this…here.”

People dispersed one after another. At first they were quite orderly, but gradually, they began to lose their etiquette and push them. There are too many people here. Like a barbed whip lashing behind people.

After a while, the crowd under the iron tower turned out to be a mess. Some fell, some screamed, some scolded, some cried…

“Get out of the way! Don’t stand in the way!”

“Ah, it hurts! Asshole, go to hell!”

“That’s my car! Get out! Get out of me!”

“Help…help me…”

The voices of men and women are no longer gentle, but sharp, irritable, and filthy, unbelievable. Just a few minutes ago, here was another scene.

Stampede? Or something else?

Cheng Lin didn’t know it well, and didn’t care. When people fled quickly and wanted to return to the warm room, he remained motionless, standing still, looking up, staring at the dazzling Eiffel Tower.

“Kacha Kacha…”

His beyond ordinary hearing made him perceive the delicate sound.

That is the iron tower freezing!

Yes, freeze!

Starting from the highest point, in the blizzard, the metal frame of the Eiffel Tower was covered with a layer of crystal frost. From top to bottom, the extreme cold caused the metal to distort and shrink, and the lights covering the surface of the tower were also due to Cold and broken, extinguished.

Click, click…

Cheng Lin witnessed the metal iron tower freeze from top to bottom, and went out. In just ten minutes, all the dazzling lights disappeared, the tower fell into the embrace of the snowstorm, the people at the bottom of the tower were gone, and the noisy beatings were gone. Submerged in the wind and snow.

Cheng Lin retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and saw that his whole body was also covered with snow. The snow covered his shoes under his feet. The biting cold penetrated through the black windbreaker, through the pores, and penetrated into his body. The Spiritual Qi has been automatically activated, wandering among the Meridians, resisting the chill.

The Cultivation Base of the second rank makes him strong enough to withstand the ordinary cold, but at this moment, what he is facing is not “ordinary”.

He was hesitating whether to return to the safe house to escape the severe cold, and another message came from his mind:

[Obtaining the temporary attribute “fighting the cold”: Assembling this attribute can greatly resist the cold, whether to assemble it? 】

There is no hesitation.

“Yes.”

The next moment, a warm current poured into his body. Cheng Lin only felt that his numb and tingling hands and feet warmed up instantly. He stretched out his hand and grasped it in the cold wind. The chill he felt was about the same as in ordinary winter. The temperature is enough for him.

The procedure is still so intimate.

He thought to himself.

[Just as no one knows what will happen at The next moment. Regarding the world, no one knows when it will suffer an unknown blow. At a certain moment, since the emergence of human civilization, an unprecedented cold wave has come to this world.][The blizzard instantly covered the city, and countless people immersed in joy were troubled by this unexpected cold. The blizzard became bigger and the temperature dropped. Finally, the river began to freeze and the buildings were covered with frost. People almost flee for their lives and ran into the warm buildings in fear, trying to avoid the blizzard. This led to many fights. The blizzard blocked traffic, and countless people were trapped on the road, facing the bitter, deadly cold and panic. Lost][You stand quietly in the wind and snow, like a spectator, without any fluctuations in your heart]

The information emerged in my mind, as calm as always, as if I was telling a story on paper, or recite a newsletter, calmly, surely, and indifferently.

Cheng Lin fell silent and began to walk slowly in the face of the blizzard.

The wind and snow were so great that he had to turn on “body control” to successfully stabilize his figure and move forward smoothly. The ground nearby was completely covered with a thick layer of snow, which is unbelievable. Formed within minutes.

The lights of the city buildings in the distance are dim and faint, like faded old oil paintings, across the sky with snow, revealing an unreal feeling.

Cheng Lin took a few steps, and suddenly felt vaguely, raising his head to look forward.

Far away, in the blizzard, there was a faint fire rising up, like a candle in the wind, obscure and inexplicable, illuminating the cold world.

[You look far and see a fire. You guessed what it was. After a while, you realized that it was the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. The world-famous building with a long history begins to burn in the dark, just like a blooming rose, blooming in the wind and snow]

Cheng Lin was silent.

After watching quietly for a while, he continued on. When he came to the parking lot near the iron tower, he found that there were a few cars crowded here. Perhaps due to the wind, the snow here was extraordinarily thick, and half of the tires were already submerged. In the snow.

The glass windows of the car are also covered with thick frost. Through it, you can faintly see the frozen humans inside.

Cheng Lin had some accidents, he had frozen to death? Is it so cold?

He tried to take a closer look, and walked a few steps forward, suddenly as if he had kicked something hard.

The snow here has gone to the position of his calf, completely submerging his shoes.

“What did I kick?”

He squatted down curiously and pulled away the snow in front of him. Gradually, a stiff body in a white cotton-padded jacket appeared from the snow.

She was wearing a pink hat, her chestnut hair was scattered, and her face with a few freckles turned blue and purple. Her eyes widened. Perhaps it was freezing too fast. There was no time to show pain in her eyes, but full of panic.

Next to him, was a squashed flower basket, held tightly in her arms. In the flower basket, roses wrapped in cellophane fell into the snow, making it very beautiful.

Cheng Lin was silent for a few seconds, looked at the flower girl who was completely dead, stretched out his hand to help her close her eyes, and then picked up a bright red rose, stuck it to her chest, got up, and continued to move forward.

Along the way, more and more cars were paralyzed on the road, and more and more people died in the car.

Cheng Lin was alone, wearing a black windbreaker, holding a rose, walking on the deserted, snowstorm-filled street, this bustling and fashionable city has become a dead silence.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was only a few minutes. He suddenly felt that the night had passed and the blizzard had begun to decrease. When it came the next morning, the snow and wind had ceased to be so violent, and the temperature had risen to a barely acceptable level.

[Dawn is coming, the blizzard is temporarily extinguished, and human society has a short respite]

The narrator in his head said in a non-emotional tone.

“Rumble…”

As the sky lit up, Cheng Lin stood in the city in the early morning and heard a voice coming from behind.

He turned around and saw a huge, ferocious snow removal vehicle raising its motor, pushing away the snow, and driving towards him.

Behind the snow removal truck, there are municipal staff wrapped up like brown bears.



“In front, who are you?”

Someone shouted at him.

Cheng Lin glanced at each other silently, and said in “pure French”:

“I’m… a traveler.”
