Frost ghosts hover in the center of the network, blocking people from moving forward.
Such a thing would have been absolutely nonsense these days. However, the invisible cold air was in the hall, killing people and killing all those who were close to it, forcing them to start considering the possibility of ghosts.
Only then did they see more frost-covered ice sculptures, many of them professional security personnel. Presumably, the armed forces had tried to recover the Internet Center before, but were frozen to death by invisible forces.
"There are invisible enemies!"
"Take him back!"
"Come back quickly, Weito!" The soldiers stretched out their hands to drag the soldier in front back.
His body was as stiff as an ice sculpture, and he needed multiple hands to hold him steady. His companions dragged Eto backward with force, and the leather heels of his military boots dragged on the ground, making a sharp sound, like a ghost roaring.
Xu Yang asked them to move back to the exit.
I originally wanted to withdraw the shuttle, but it was very difficult to climb the stairs back to the rooftop.
It was frosty and snowy outside, and the winter wind blew up thousands of boulders, which hurt people when they hit them. The air was so cold that it felt like sharp knives everywhere, and moving your fingers was like rubbing against a mountain of knives.
Although there are deadly ghosts harvesting human lives in front of them, the cruel low temperature outside is also despairing. They would rather stay here and place their hope in this shelter surrounded by walls.
Eto, who had been hit, lay motionless on the ground. He was also a veteran of Nisto Company. Although he refused to join the army because he was afraid of training and physiological transformation, he was very qualified. He joined the army from Aizu City just to make a living.
, then went into battle for the company and did not miss the battle.
Now he just wanted to be brave once in a while, so he stepped forward to clear the way for his comrades, but he was injured by the ghost. At this moment, his face was bruised, his eyes were white, and his body temperature was extremely low.
Others quickly lifted Weito up and stuffed him into a high-temperature electric sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag is woven with aramid fiber, and the interlayer is filled with heating elements. When working, the inside emits a bright orange light, as if a small sun has been installed.
Everyone put his body into it, and the information soldiers turned on the medical drone to continuously monitor various physiological indicators of Eto to prevent him from freezing to death.
Rei Ise couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when she saw how the soldiers were injured by invisible ghosts and then received various medical treatments.
Her witch armor was sizzling, and the power supply was working at full strength, providing her with a source of close-fitting heat, but she knew that if she was hit by a ghost, the cold would still penetrate her body and mind, causing her to die quickly.
It is impossible to say that I am not nervous.
Ise Karei opened the mask and turned to Xu Yang with a bitter expression.
Xu Yang's eyes fell on Ise Hana's face. Her fluffy and soft pink hair hung down on both sides of her cheeks. She was used to putting on a pitiful look to avoid trouble, and it was the same now.
With the nano-armor activated, she couldn't see Xu Yang's face clearly. The armor Xu Yang used had been re-adjusted and comprehensively modified, and now it looked even more profound. Especially the facial armor, which was completely black and void, undetectable and difficult to distinguish.
True appearance.
When Ise Karei saw Xu Yang's face, she felt that her soul was about to be sucked in.
Xu Yang turned to look at the other ordinary soldiers. They were just mortal bodies carrying technical equipment and could not restrain the invisible ghosts lingering in the hall.
If I go in person, can I seduce the ghost to show up?
Now that conditions are limited, Xu Yang can only take risky measures to break through. After all, going down to the bottom to repair the Sea of Hillis is the top priority. Only by repairing network services can they have a chance of winning.
"Having passed the test of the new council, do you have confidence in your own skills?" Xu Yang asked.
"They think very well of me."
"Turn on the magic, release the magic blade, and then prepare for the assault." Xu Yang looked forward.
"Me?" Isehana was stunned, "What do you want to do?"
If she moves forward and enters the attack range of the Frost Ghost, she will also be instantly frozen.
At this moment, she was filled with a sense of distrust towards Xu Yang.
If he wasted the blood of his soldiers like this, that would be too selfish...
Ise Karei bit her lips. At this moment, she felt that Xu Yang was very strange.
Xu Yang did not respond, but took action.
To her surprise, she saw Xu Yang's figure walking through the center of the field.
As he moved swiftly, a white shield quickly lit up around him, and the light flashed, illuminating a tall phantom on the right side of the shield!
The phantom's body was tall and twisted, and it swung its claws from top to bottom and slammed into the shield, making a loud noise like glass breaking.
Ise Hana Rei stepped forward and followed in an instant.
Before the phantom dissipated, she violently picked up the giant sword. A black magic sword energy was fired from the blade, expanding the attack range of the sword and hitting the ghost instantly!
Under the chopping of the magic blade, its body quickly dispersed.
"Killed!" Ise Hana Rei was overjoyed and seemed particularly excited. She even felt ashamed of her previous reverie about Xu Yang.
After resolving the crisis, she turned to look at Xu Yang and saw him beckoning the people behind to follow him and continue the action.
"I almost missed it - that's the moment I saw it."
"We have to catch it off guard... The ghost is just another configuration of the deceased." Xu Yang moved forward and explored the front personally.
"What kind of power was that just now?" Isehana Rei was extremely curious.
"An emergency defensive shield."
"What if that force penetrates the shield...and kills you?"
My wife will resurrect me. Xu Yang secretly thought.
If something like that happens, Farosha will definitely help him. He will lie in Farosha's warm embrace and gaze into her deep eyes and snow-white skin.
I really want to go back to her now.
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Yang found that his emotions were very contradictory.
The more I leave Farosha, the more I want to go back. If I stay with Farosha for too long, I will want to run away.
How to describe this relationship in words?
Getting along with Falosa is a very complicated thing. She is very cunning, untrustworthy, gentle and evil, beautiful and dangerous. She implies riddles in her words and sets traps in her actions.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Xu Yang and her were each other's prisoners.
Since they first met, they have been by each other's side, showing love and resentment to each other, like a pair of mirrors standing on the ice. They are very different, and their relationship is so subtle that others cannot understand it.
Especially since Falosa woke up, a series of troubles caused by the severe winter disaster have been superimposed, and there are now more complex interactions that need Xu Yang to deal with.
"I'm not afraid of death." Xu Yang replied briefly to Ise Karei.
Ise Hana Rei nodded secretly.
Shields that can keep up with the user in time are often extremely rare, and most can only use stance generators to protect fixed areas.
"That ghost... is quite tall and very strange. It doesn't look like a human ghost at all. It might be a more terrifying creature." Rei Ise reminded.
She used the recording function of the armor to take a picture of the ghost's moment, and now she quickly sent it to Xu Yang.
In fact, Xu Yang had already used his digital mind to record the images he captured, and the clarity was much better than Rei Ise's.
The ghost was at least three to four meters tall, with a twisted body and slender limbs. Each part showed different states of frost blue, pale and transparent. It was extremely strange. If it were not reflected by the moonlight of Xu Yang's shield, it would not be visible to the naked eye.
It is hard to imagine that it was formed after death, but Xu Yang currently has insufficient information and can only keep a close eye on this natural disaster.
After killing the ghosts in the hall, Xu Yang went straight down, followed by other soldiers, checking the conditions in other areas of the building along the way and looking for other potential enemies through temperature monitoring.
Fortunately, it seems that there is no second ghost. It would be troublesome if there were.
"This is..." Xu Yang opened the door and came to the core computer room of Sea of Hillis.
This vast basement stores the terminal site of the Sea of Hillis. It not only has the highest authority network database, but also an integrated physical disaster recovery and backup system for the entire Yibei City archives until the day before it was completely shut down.
Still insisting on updating.
Looking around, there are more than 50 rows of cold network cabinets in the room. They are sturdy, tall, and have the same appearance as each other. They are placed extremely neatly like some kind of art.
Cables, hard boxes, switches, servers and monitoring terminals are all carefully stacked in the cabinet, shining coldly in the silence, and the fans are humming, providing them with a cooling function that is no longer needed.
Xu Yang came to the data monitoring room. There were 12 staff members frozen to death in their seats next to the 8 large terminals in the room. They seemed to have been suddenly killed by some invisible force and there was no room for fighting back.
"We have to take over their work." Xu Yang checked the working environment. "A lot of hardware is still there. They are intact. It's just that all the personnel died and the self-protection mechanism was triggered, so they are all locked... It must be repaired quickly, otherwise they will
More content will be automatically blocked."
The ghost killed everyone and froze the entire site, but its power did not affect the operation of the hardware very much, so there was still room for repair.
Soon they were involved in the intense repair work, and other soldiers who followed also came to help, carrying supplies from the shuttle.
"We should be in touch with all the other sites soon."
"Once facilities are reopened, the city will be safe."
"You can provide them with supplies and organize defense!"
Even so, they were still very nervous when they removed the frozen corpses one after another on the seats. Then it was their turn to replace the remains and work. If they made the same mistake again, they would have to concentrate on their work.
What should you do if you are killed by invisible frost?
With this in mind, when they looked at the seats in front of the terminals, what they saw was a very dangerous trap.
At this time, Xu Yang was already sitting in front of the main unit. He used the backup supplies he brought to replace important components in the system to prevent them from aging and being damaged in the extremely cold conditions.
Then he debugged the machine, tested the environment, and prepared to restart the system. The subnet unit in Yibei City was built by Xu Yang himself. It is not difficult to reconstruct an emergency system on site.
Xu Yang is dedicated to his work, has a completely professional attitude, and has rich experience. His presence is admired by others.
They temporarily put aside the fear of death and quickly followed up.
"You are very... calm and composed." Ise Hana Rei stood aside and looked sideways.
"I often think that people like us feel powerless in natural disasters, but what about other ordinary people? Aren't those people who lack the ability to protect themselves in a worse situation?" Xu Yang held up the cold cables.
Take it out from the main unit and insert it into the interface behind his ear.
The real world became extraordinarily far away. He sank into the fragmented Sea of Silis, restarted the network unit, and recovered this isolated island that was shaking in the blizzard.
