Chapter 862: Blizzard
The process of advancing from the third to the fourth tier is extremely complicated, requiring the inscription of a bone armor rune obtained from the mutated body within the body.
Chen Futu's inscription was based on the bone fragment given to him by the system, and he was transformed with the help of others. Therefore, the secret to entering the fourth stage could not be passed on, rather than it being that he was unwilling to share it.
"The system has already recorded the process of true essence conversion. The host can optimize it by spending 10,000 points."
"Okay, you help me optimize it, so that Lulu'er and Xiaoman can advance."
For several days, Chen Futu's attention was focused on the bone fragments rewarded by the system, and he did not pursue further studies.
The marks on the bone fragments vaguely form a star pattern, the level of which is unknown and indistinct.
The experts within the academy couldn't discern anything amiss; they called it junk, saying even the patterns were blurry.
According to them, the clearer the bone fragment pattern and the more intersections of the patterns, the better.
Because the junction points can be lit up, and once the patterns are engraved into an individual, lighting up one point can greatly increase the individual's combat power. They hoped that Chen Futu would buy the armor plates in the academy at a high price, but Chen Futu refused.
The academy's resources are good, but they're nothing compared to the system's rewards.
Next, the star map shone on Chen Futu's eight extraordinary meridians and various acupoints, like countless dim stars, which required crystal cores to activate.
As Jiang Yi said, once you reach the fourth tier, you will gain special abilities.
Chen Futu spent 10,000 points to light up the first star on his right hand, instantly increasing the strength of his right hand by at least 100%.
"Good guy!"
Chen Futu almost burst out laughing.
Other people's bone fragments have either a few points or dozens of points, but his bone fragments are densely packed, corresponding to all the meridians and acupoints. Although it only targets the improvement of certain parts, it is still very good. As long as there are enough crystal cores to light up the starlight in his whole body and strengthen everything, the final combat power and physical strength will be unimaginable.
Chen Futu was overjoyed, unaware that while he hadn't left the house for several days, the outside world was in complete chaos.
Because a natural disaster has struck!
Chen Futu awoke from his cultivation and sensed a chill entering the room. He instinctively opened the window and was immediately startled to see a vast, white world. An extreme blizzard had covered the entire city, with snow at least three or four meters high.
"not good!"
Chen Futu quickly opened the regional chat channel.
Before long, countless people poured in, creating complete chaos.
Then Chen Futu saw Lu Lu'er's message: "Why has this channel been closed for so long? Old Chen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I've been cultivating recently and haven't been paying attention to the outside world. What happened?"
"Who knew? It suddenly started snowing, and this snow was unusual. The temperature was extremely low, and it came very abruptly. Luckily, you left us a lot of supplies in advance, and there's a fireplace at home. Otherwise, Xiaoman and I would have either frozen to death or starved to death."
"What did the Azure Guard say?"
"What else can we say? They are human too. It is said that the Azure Guard suffered heavy losses and many people died. Do you think it is possible that it was caused by the mutants? If the Azure Guard's combat power is wiped out, the mutants can then attack the city."
"That's possible, but you shouldn't go out. Stay home and I'll see if I can get there."
After Chen Futu finished talking with Lu Lu'er, he also chatted with Qin Xiaoman. She was alright, just a little flustered. Fortunately, there were enough supplies, and as long as she didn't go out, she would be fine.
Chen Futu glanced at the channel's backend and saw that the snow disaster was indeed heading towards Tianqing City, covering an area of more than 500 miles centered on Tianqing City, with temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius.
Even the most resilient high-level experts cannot withstand a blizzard of this scale for an extended period.
The regional channels were filled with cries and calls for help. Many people were trapped outside and hiding in public buildings, lacking food and clothing, and huddling together for warmth.
With the storm exceeding level 10 and the snow depth, the Azure Guard is helpless and is now using group chat to calm everyone down.
"Azure Guard, you son of a bitch! Are you even capable of anything?"
"Exactly, if someone doesn't work, we should find another one!"
People are so well protected that when disaster strikes, they all start cursing.
The powerful members of the Azure Guard were enraged by the insults, and the two sides began a passionate exchange of insults in the channel.
This is human nature.
Life was fine before, and anything went smoothly. But once those in power couldn't control things, chaos ensued.
Meanwhile, at Zhulu Academy, the girls were crying and wailing, lamenting their misery.
Some men wanted to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress, comforting the girls they liked.
The academy has its own living area, such as a canteen with supplies and a shopping center similar to a supermarket, but it's impossible to get through.
The snow is getting thicker and thicker.
On the fourth floor where Chen Futu was located, there was nothing but white when looking out the window. The academy gate had been swallowed up in half, and most absurdly, the blizzard was still raging.
The system information was constantly flashing red in the consultation channel, all of which were news about the disaster caused by this massive snowstorm and the death toll.
In short, the Azure Guard is powerless to do anything.
They said they could only find a way to survive on their own, and that they would organize a rescue operation as soon as the blizzard stopped.
The academy then issued its own notice regarding its survival.
Downstairs, some male students were laughing and clearing a path, trying to carve out a road to the shopping center by sheer manpower.
The situation was similar at the female students' dormitory. They organized themselves to clear a path, and some male students even volunteered to help them. Unfortunately, clearing a path wasn't so easy.
Chen Futu stayed in his room the whole time and didn't go anywhere, since he didn't lack supplies anyway.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the situation gradually worsened as people began to disappear one after another. Everyone sensed the danger and began to organize more people to continue digging the road to the purchasing center. Some people also became very irritable and kept shouting and cursing in the regional channel.
The female trainees cried out for help, saying that their friends had gone missing and might have frozen to death somewhere, and they hoped that the male trainees could help dig a road.
And so the male trainees set off in a grand procession, with no other choice but to fight desperately to survive.
Within the regional channel, Chen Futu created a special section for the Zhulu Academy.
The number of posts from female students skyrocketed, with some even posting suggestive photos of themselves lying in bed, hoping a man would bring them some food.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this level of explicitness, anyone else would have banned you, only I, as an administrator, am kind-hearted..."
Chen Futu discovered what kind of heavenly world this was. When disaster struck, everyone was no different from the people of Earth. Those who needed to humble themselves did so, and those who needed to perform tea ceremonies performed tea ceremonies. In short, everyone was just trying to survive.
Surprisingly, some people actually replied below, saying things like "Goddess, don't worry, there will be food once you dig through."
