Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After all, Fang Rui hadn't prepared any corresponding measures at the beginning, but even without Fang Rui's countermeasures, some people still failed.

The ice in an iceberg becomes harder the closer it gets to the core.

When the tunnel reaches a depth of over two hundred meters, the ice becomes as hard as diamond...

Therefore, some people did not persist, gave up the idea of ​​finding a shortcut, and continued to challenge the "monster fragments" blocking their way.

As for the new "monster," Fang Rui thought about it for a while. Staying in one place wasn't particularly interesting; wandering around in the iceberg would be much more fun.

After all, the cold air from an iceberg emanates from its core. Even if some areas melt, new ice will condense under the continuous erosion of the cold air...

Considering that the intensity of battles inside the iceberg will increase significantly in the future, Fang Rui plans to add some special features to the iceberg, such as a rule for maintaining cold.

The closer you get to the core of an iceberg, the lower the temperature becomes, and the harder the ice becomes.

“So…” Fang Rui looked at the changed iceberg, “how can I let certain people know that the iceberg has changed? Enough to attract a group of people to explore the changes in the iceberg.”

Before heading to other worlds, Fang Rui planned to watch the show, to see how some people "work hard and struggle," which would be quite interesting.

With this in mind, Fang Rui decided to expand the iceberg area a bit. If the iceberg area changed, those who were interested in this place would definitely send people to investigate.

"Wait, there's no need to wait until tomorrow, it's the same now."

As he spoke, Fang Rui manipulated the ice to spread into the distance. Sitting on "Benares," Fang Rui manifested several screens, observing the area beyond the ice maze and the iceberg.

The iceberg area has always been monitored. The Guard Bureau has assigned someone there, who doesn't need to do anything but report daily on any abnormalities in the iceberg area.

People from Yan Kingdom all have the job of guarding icebergs, which is of utmost importance as it involves giant beasts.

Other factions also established supply depots near the iceberg area to facilitate rest and resupply for those exploring the iceberg.

Therefore, within just a few minutes, all factions had become aware of the unusual occurrence on the iceberg.

Incidentally, all factions adopted the same response: sending out exploration teams to investigate.

The regulators from Yan Country tried to stop these people from entering the iceberg, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful...

Although Yan is very strong, it doesn't mean that all forces will give it any face.

The supervisors didn't say anything, but simply reported the information to their superiors, hoping that a Taoist master could be sent.

To be fair, the supervisors at Longmen have strong opinions about allowing other forces to explore the iceberg. How can such a thing be allowed when it involves a giant beast?

Even if it cannot be sealed, it should at least prevent others from getting close, or at least prevent other fragments of gods from getting close.

However, Wei Yanwu, the governor of Lungmen, did not stop this, but instead welcomed it. As a result, a bunch of giant beast fragments are now frozen in the ice field. Subsequent giant beast fragments that arrive here are not so arrogant and do not rashly venture into the ice mountain.

Some factions are researching fragments of giant beasts in the icy plains. The overseers have been trying to expel them, but Wei Yanwu has not agreed.

The power of behemoths is not so easy to control, and directly expelling top forces from various places without a legitimate reason would cause quite serious problems.

Besides, even though the fragments of the giant beast are frozen, those guys actually have the ability to interfere with the outside world.

Those researchers have already paid a heavy price...

Anyway, those people can't figure anything out, so let them try.

This will save him some effort!

Wei Yanwu said this, after all, the relationship between the upper and lower city areas had eased somewhat, and he was seriously dealing with this matter...

It would be a real shame to miss such a great opportunity.

"...There are so many people here! And I don't recognize a single one of them!"

"The people from Rhodes Island didn't even come to join the fun?!"

"To be honest, I don't know many people in Terra. There's even a chance I might mistake one for another."

As Fang Rui watched a group of people gather in the icy plains, he felt a strange sense of tension, as if he were a demon king being defeated by heroes, and the people in the icy plains were teams of heroes.

"Let me see where the first team to launch the attack came from."

A while later, either due to their lack of patience or their desire to gain the advantage of being the first to enter the iceberg, Rhine Lab's exploration team entered the iceberg's interior.

"Captain, the temperature at the entrance is six degrees Celsius lower than when we entered last time."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, the captain of the exploration team didn't say anything. The temperature inside the iceberg was very strange; sometimes, a difference of just one meter could result in a dramatic temperature difference.

It's as if some kind of force is maintaining the temperature inside the iceberg.

"Everyone be careful. The temperature of the iceberg is changing, the area of ​​the ice sheet is expanding, and there are definitely other changes inside."

"Okay, Captain!"

Everyone looked wary and moved forward at a relatively slow pace. In the center of the group was someone wearing a special helmet with a high-definition camera in the upper left corner, which allowed some people at the supply station to see the inside of the iceberg.

"Compared with previous footage, there has been no change. Considering the expansion of the ice sheet, it is normal for the interior of the iceberg to cool down."

One researcher explained the current situation, "As for the reason for the temperature drop, it could be due to some giant beast..."

As he spoke, he recalled the video he had watched before, in which a blue and white dragon soared through the air, and he felt a little excited.

Seeing such a powerful creature again is a very pleasant surprise for some people.

"Is it awakening? Or..." Another person looked thoughtful. He had also seen the video of the dragon's rampage and knew that the dragon could not be dealt with by ordinary means.

They never expected to defeat the dragon or study the secrets of the behemoth.

The idea was simply to collect some of the dragon's saliva, hair, and dander for research.

However, the exploration team sent by the company and the mercenaries they hired failed to find the place where the dragon slumbered. They were blocked by the monsters in the ice mountain and made no progress.

“I suggest…we should make some preparations. If the dragon awakens, we will be the first to be affected and in the most danger,” someone warned.

If the aftershocks before awakening cause the ice sheet to expand, then the temperature will definitely drop even lower after the ice sheet fully awakens.

Supply stations are also susceptible to the cold.

“You’re right, should we move further away?” another person agreed with this person’s opinion.

"The supply station is too close to the iceberg. If something unexpected happens, it will be very troublesome, and there will be no chance to escape."

"Move the equipment into the RV, then move it..." the leader announced.

One person stayed in front of the screen to monitor it, while the rest began packing up the equipment and moving on...

Meanwhile, more teams entered the iceberg, including the Guardians and Penguin Logistics.

The reason the Guard Bureau entered the iceberg was to understand the changes inside the iceberg. Obtaining first-hand information is very important. Of course, the Guard Bureau will retreat immediately if danger is encountered.

Penguin Logistics is just here to join the fun. The letter delivery commission has already been agreed upon, and the three people besides Kong will participate in the mission.

"Hiss! It's so cold..." Exusiai rubbed her arms, exhaling white mist.

"I told you to wear more clothes, now you know it's cold?" Texas said.

"No, I feel it's even colder inside the iceberg!" Exusiai, who often plays in the iceberg, explained, indicating that it wasn't her problem.

As for why she came to the iceberg, it was to see something unusual and pick up some equipment along the way.

Exploring inside icebergs is extremely dangerous. Mercenaries who try to get rich quick never actually receive payment after accepting a commission; the common outcome is being killed by fragments of giant beasts inside the iceberg.

Weapons dropped by mercenaries can be recycled.

Some infected individuals specialize in scavenging, earning a considerable amount of money each time they find something, since weapons are very expensive...

As for the reason why Exusiai was "scavenging," it was simply because she wanted to experience the feeling of shooting real guns.

The guns copied by other factions, although inferior to those of Laterano, are still considered guns and feel better than rubber bullets.

Even after the bullets are used up, the gun can still be sold to other people.

"That's not the point. The point is, are you leaving?" Texas complained. "I feel like you'll catch a cold!"

"No, my gut tells me there must be something fun inside the iceberg."

Exusiai is holding a gun, not a rubber bullet, but a real bullet.

"Fine!" Texas didn't try to persuade her further; she refused to go to a dangerous place.

However, icebergs have always been dangerous, and now that things have changed, it's reassuring to investigate them.

Croissant, holding a shield and hammer, examined the ice wall. "Do you think I could sell some ice I broke off and take out?"

Texas, Exusiai: "…………" This is a difficult question to answer.

At a beverage shop, you need to pay for ice.

But if you just sell ice cubes, I doubt anyone will buy them.

Seeing the conflicted looks in their eyes, Croissant understood. "Okay, I understand. You don't need to tell me!"

As they talked, the four continued forward, their footsteps echoing through the passage...

"I think I heard...footsteps?" Kong suddenly said.

Texas nodded slightly, signaling Kong not to be nervous: "...There were indeed footsteps besides ours, but they were quite far away."

“The response inside the iceberg is very strong; even footsteps from a hundred meters away can be heard.”

Texas explained, leading the group to turn left and into a straight passage. At the end of the passage stood a figure resembling an ancient person.

"Are those... other exploration teams?" Kong asked in a low voice.

“Possibly, but…” Texas’s body tensed suddenly; her instincts warned her that the other person was dangerous.

"Be ready for battle."

Upon receiving Texas's warning, the other three immediately gripped their weapons. After all, Texas was trustworthy, and listening to her wouldn't be a mistake.

"Hoo—" The dragon-man, who resembled an ancient person, exhaled a breath of hot air, his panting unusually loud, and his originally dull eyes gradually lit up with a red glow.

The four people being stared at suddenly felt like they were being watched by predators; it was very dangerous...

“The hostility is very high!” Texas frowned. Logically speaking, everyone is here to explore, and since they haven’t seen anything yet, there is no need to fight.

The other party must have known, so why did they show hostility?!

Chapter 641 Conversation with Kal'tsit

Without explanation, the dragonman charged towards Texas and the others like a whirlwind.

Her role in the team is that of a heavy-armored Croissant, who arrives in front of everyone with her shield raised the moment the enemy disappears.

The next second, Croissant felt an irresistible impact from the shield, and she instantly lost her balance, being thrown away by the force.
