Chapter 22 Walk into Glacier Night

Due to the freezing flood, only the refuge where Jack lived was not affected.

Liquid water would occasionally appear beside the area.

This was the effect of the heating materials on the refuge wall.

Of course, this was also completely inseparable from the function of the water circulation.

Even so, the temperature in the refuge also reached more than -10.

Jack, Tom, and Jera wrapped themselves in the thick quilt, still feeling warm.

Iron Man couldn't go out to investigate today.

The extremely low temperature would make his body completely stiff.

If he was not careful enough, he might die.

In all the intelligent lives, only the Frozen Man could resist such a degree of coldness.

So Jack sent him out.

Jack saw that everything in the outside world was covered with thick ice.

Then he suddenly remembered one thing.

"What about the people who planned to escape from Los Angeles now?"

Jack was curious about it.

"Frozen Man, help me investigate the condition of the refugees in the southwest suburb shelter."

Jack still remembered the refugees' actions in that area yesterday.

Both Frozen Man and Jack thought of the same thing.

He knew where the place was at once.

Five minutes later, Frozen Man came to the place Jack was thinking about.

The terrain here was much flat than that of Chicago.

Under the flat terrain, everything under the ice could be seen clearly.

The huge steamship which gave off steam and mechanical sound yesterday was now completely frozen.

Frozen Man stood on the ice.

The refugees on the ship were all frozen together, becoming real living fossils.

Their bodies were completely frozen. Although there was no change in their bodies, they died.

Jack sighed.

The army had warned them, but they didn't listen.

So now the consequence was irreversible.

"Warning! Warning! We have to face the freezing ice next month!"

The army in expensive thermal fiber clothes drove the tank directly to the ice surface and raised a loudspeaker to inform the progress of the disaster.

The day before yesterday, they also provided false news that the rainstorm would continue.

Then all the floods today turned into ice as hard as stones.

The refugees who were lucky enough to survive in the shelter now didn't believe what the official said at all.

After the arrival of the glacier age, the sun almost completely disappeared.

There was only a little light left on the ground.

But Jack still had a sense of time.

After eight o'clock in the evening, the temperature in the refuge would suddenly drop.

After the temperature dropped, Jack picked out two microwave furnaces from the materials he prepared.

With the continuous power provided by the small diesel power plant, the electric furnace could play the most important role and release the most heat.

Jack, Tom, and Jera curled up in a narrow room, very close to each other.

At the critical moment of life and death, they couldn't care too much about other problems. They could only gather together to warm themselves and grasp any heat that could be used.

For the time being, their bodies were warm and they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

The cold wave was usually the most violent at first, and it had the greatest impact on human survival.

According to the detectives of the Frozen Man, 99% of the survivors died in this extremely bad environment in one day.

In the evening, Chicago almost became a dead city.

There was nothing but thick ice.

Jack, Tom, and Jera hugged each other, covered their bodies with layers of cotton, and then fell asleep.

They had finally survived.

Before they fell asleep, no one had caught a cold or a fever.

That's good.

The second morning.

Jack was woken up by the sound of the system in the early morning.

"Congratulations, master. You have successfully resisted the first round of the cold wave disaster. Now the underground refuge will automatically upgrade for once!"

Current Level of the Refuge: Lv. 7

"New Function Unlocked: Temperature control system."

"Temperature control system: Keep the temperature in the refuge above 10 forever."

After receiving the message from the system, the refuge completed the upgrade by itself.

Then the temperature in the room suddenly rosed.

Tom and Jera were awakened by the hot sweat on their bodies.

"Do I have a fever? Why am I so hot?"

The woman woke up from a painful nightmare and touched her forehead for the first time.

She was checking to see if she had an illusion because of a high fever.

"It's normal."

Jera said to herself. The temperature on her forehead was not too hot, which meant that she did not have a fever.

"Why does the temperature suddenly rise so much?"

Since she didn't have a fever, then the temperature must rise.

"We don't need to worry about the temperature because I have upgraded the refuge."

Jack told her the truth.

"Great! We won't worry about being frozen to death!" Jera laughed loudly.

She felt like a survivor of a disaster.

"That's great. Now I can continue to exercise. I haven't exercised for a long time. I feel a little uncomfortable all over my body."

Tom was also overjoyed to hear the news. He took his arm out of the quilt and showed the muscles on his arm.

At this time, Jera found that her plump chest was leaning against Tom's strong body, and the two people's bodies were almost tightly attached.

Jera blushed instantly.

Instinctively, she kicked Tom and pushed Tom against the wall.

"Masher! You are so annoying!" Jera blushed and walked away.

Only Jack and Tom were left in the room in embarrassment.

"Women are all lions." Two men exclaimed at the same time.
