After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

Just as Ling Yichen was about to use his strange power, Chen Zhuo's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Control the eerie energy to condense it into a thread, wrap it around the eerie artifact, and pull it back! At the same time, sense the eerie energy on the ice spike; you'll see its trajectory in advance!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yichen paused, then immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He then calmed himself down and gathered the eerie energy towards his fingertips.

But when the eerie energy condensed into threads, it broke uncontrollably!

Chen Zhuo's voice came at just the right moment: "Be gentle before the silk is formed."

"Is that so?" Ling Yichen murmured softly.

The next instant, the strange artifact stuck in the snowman's shoulder suddenly flew back into Ling Yichen's hand.

At the same time, he sensed the eerie energy emanating from the ice spikes and saw their trajectory!

Ling Yichen pushed his speed to the limit, dodging while shattering the unavoidable ice spikes.

"He understands so quickly? Is this child that quick to grasp things?"

The White Team looked at Ling Yichen in surprise, who was almost unharmed, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chen Zhuo nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction: "The only drawback is that he's too reckless."

After dodging the snowman's attack, Ling Yichen suddenly flashed around to the snowman's back and plunged the treacherous weapon deep into its heart.

The snowman let out a piercing scream, and its body began to melt rapidly, leaving only a corpse with its legs curled up and its arms outstretched.

Ling Yichen, panting heavily, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and turned to look in Chen Zhuo's direction, like a child waiting for praise.

"We still need to guard against arrogance and impatience!"

Chen Zhuo walked past him and reminded him again of the areas that needed improvement.

The white team patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hurry up and go inside."

The three of them stepped across the remaining snowmelt on the ground and successfully entered the mall.

If the entrance felt slightly cool, the inside of the mall was bone-chillingly cold.

The situation inside the mall was much worse than they had imagined.

On the pristine white snow, there was a pool of blood every few steps.

Ling Yichen frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the empty hall, a puzzled expression on his face.

"With so much blood lost, how come we can't even see a single corpse?"

The white team turned to look at the wall, where there were dense, bloody scratch marks, revealing their undisguised reluctance.

"They have no way to leave here; they can only wait quietly for death. It's despairing to even think about it."

"Everyone has their own destiny. Instead of feeling sorry for them here, we should deal with the strange occurrences as soon as possible and avenge them."

After hearing Chen Zhuo's words, the White Team managed to compose themselves.

He took out a thermal imager from his pocket, preparing to search for survivors on the first floor.

But just then, the snow beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble, and countless mounds of varying sizes suddenly appeared on the snow around the three of them.

Boom boom boom!

The next second, all the mounds exploded at the same time, sending snowflakes flying everywhere.

One by one, snowmen popped out of the snow and surrounded the three of them in the blink of an eye!

Ling Yichen's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly realized that the corpse had not disappeared, but had been buried under the snow.

As the snowmen drew ever closer, Ling Yichen immediately activated the artifact, preparing to join forces with Team White to deal with them.

But just as the two were about to make their move, Chen Zhuo struck first.

"There are too many snowmen, I'll handle them. I'll leave a few for you to practice on."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhuo made a sudden move. As his strange energy erupted, the surrounding snowmen seemed to be crushed by a huge force, exploding one after another.

They were so fast that they didn't give them a chance to fight back or dodge.

Snowflakes drifted down slowly, and of the countless snowmen who had once gathered, only three remained standing in place.

With a slight flick of his wrist, Chen Zhuo sent them flying directly in front of Ling Yichen and the other man.

Seeing Chen Zhuo's actions, the two of them did not change their expressions at all, and even thought it was a matter of course.

Before the two could react, the snowman quickly closed in on them.

However, having learned from their previous experience, both of them moved much more nimbly.

In less than a minute, the two of them cleanly and efficiently dealt with the three snowmen in front of them.

The White Team picked up the thermal imaging camera again and carefully scanned the entire first floor.

Looking at the cold blue screen, he shook his head with a heavy expression.

"There is no one alive on the first floor anymore."

"I have determined the approximate location of the Ghost Gate; it is in an area above the fourth floor of the shopping mall."

As for its exact location, you'll need to go a bit further up to find it.

After saying that, Chen Zhuo turned around first and walked towards the escalator leading to the second floor.

Seeing this, the white team followed closely behind, but just as Ling Yichen was about to take a step, his phone slipped out of his pocket.

He subconsciously stopped and prepared to bend down to pick up the phone. In those few seconds, he fell a few steps behind the two of them.

Just as he stood up, preparing to speed up and catch up, all the corpses scattered on the ground because the snowman had been destroyed suddenly sat up!

The moment they stood up, the surrounding snow seemed to come alive and rushed towards them wildly.

The scattered eyeballs and teeth, carried by the snow, gathered together and eventually formed snowmen!

The moment they regenerated, they pounced towards Chen Zhuo and his two companions.

Ling Yichen subconsciously stepped aside, and this step separated him from Chen Zhuo.

"then!"

The moment Chen Zhuo's voice came, the chest of the snowman in front of Ling Yichen exploded, and a strange weapon flew out from behind the snowman, heading towards Ling Yichen.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yichen quickly reached out, and the moment he touched the strange artifact, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This artifact is of extremely high quality!"

"These snowmen have regenerative abilities and are likely assimilated by the Snow Demons of Winter after they grew up."

"It's a waste of time to get entangled with them here. Once we kill the Winter Snow Demon, everything will be over!"

Chen Zhuo's voice, through the snowman, reached Ling Yichen's ears once again.

He understood Chen Zhuo's meaning, immediately killed the snowman at the front, turned around without hesitation and left, disappearing into the safe passage behind him.

Noticing Ling Yichen's departure, Chen Zhuo did not linger in the fight. He immediately forced back the surrounding snowmen and headed towards the second floor.

"Are we really not going to look for that kid?"

Team White looked in the direction where Ling Yichen had disappeared and spoke with some concern.

Chen Zhuo did not turn around, and spoke after a moment of silence.

"The artifact I gave him is of high quality, enough to save his life. He will benefit greatly from this experience."

"In that case, let's go up as soon as possible."

The worry on Bai's face vanished, and he and Chen Zhuo quickly arrived at the second floor.

The snow on the second floor was much thicker, reaching about mid-thigh, making it nearly impossible for an ordinary person to move.

However, Chen Zhuo and his companion were not ordinary people, so their speed did not decrease at all.

The white team immediately took out a thermal imager and began searching for survivors on the second floor.

When the thermal imager inadvertently swept across their legs, the white team stopped in their tracks.

"Advisor Chen, something's not right!"
