Chapter 69

Lin Chen had just opened his eyes when a system prompt sounded in his ear: 【Detected that the current outside temperature is -87℃, snow depth has reached 1.2 meters, it is recommended to wear anti-extreme cold gear when going out.】

He sat up and touched the anti-extreme cold cotton jacket by the bedside—this was supplies rewarded by the system previously,

and the fabric could withstand temperatures as low as -150℃. Putting on the cotton jacket and snow boots, he pushed open the door; in the living room, A Kai was fiddling with the Purple Lightning Purification Gun, and Xia Nuan was organizing medicines.

"Awake? Do you want some breakfast? I took bread and hot milk from the space.

" Xia Nuan looked up and said with a smile. Lin Chen had just nodded when he remembered He Ximan in the guest room and said to the system: 【Check He Ximan's current status.】 【Detected that He Ximan is still sleeping, vital signs are normal, no abnormal movements.】 "Let's see if she's awake,

we still need to confirm the follow-up on the trade." Lin Chen said, walking toward the guest room,

but pushing open the door, he found the bed empty, with only the laptop still on the nightstand.

His heart tightened, and just as he was about to call the system to investigate, he heard the sound of snow breaking with a "crack" outside the villa.

"Could she have gone out?

" Lin Chen walked quickly to the door and pushed open the main gate; the snow outside had indeed reached his thighs,

and the cold wind carrying snow foam hit his face, stinging like needles. He walked forward, stepping deep and shallow, when the system suddenly prompted: 【Detected an abnormal electric current signal 50 meters ahead, it is recommended to stay away.】

Before Lin Chen could retreat, a sharp pain suddenly came from under his feet,

and a strong electric current surged into his body through his snow boots; his vision went black, and he collapsed directly into the snow.

Before losing consciousness, he only heard the system's anxious prompt: 【Host has suffered a high-voltage electric shock, vital signs are declining, emergency protection mechanism has been automatically triggered.】

A Kai and Xia Nuan in the villa heard the strange noise outside and ran out,

seeing Lin Chen collapsed in the snow, Xia Nuan screamed in terror: "Lin Chen!" The two hurriedly rushed over and struggled to drag Lin Chen back into the house.

A Kai closed the villa gate, and Xia Nuan touched Lin Chen's forehead,

which was ice-cold; she was so anxious that tears fell: "What do we do? He's ice-cold all over, and he's not breathing!"

【Detected that the host is in a state of shock, it is recommended to perform CPR immediately and use the Ability Energy Recovery Agent.】 The system prompt popped up before the two of them,

and A Kai hurriedly found the recovery agent from the space, pried open Lin Chen's mouth, and poured it in,

while Xia Nuan followed first-aid steps to perform CPR on Lin Chen. After struggling for more than ten minutes,

Lin Chen's fingers finally moved, and his chest began to heave.

"He's awake! He's awake!"

Xia Nuan shouted with joy. Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, his brain still dizzy; just as he wanted to sit up,

his hand accidentally touched A Kai beside him—a chill instantly erupted from his fingertips,

and before A Kai could react, he was wrapped in a thick shell of ice, leaving only his eyes exposed, unable to move.

"A Kai!" Xia Nuan and Lin Chen were both panicked, and Xia Nuan hurriedly brought a basin of hot water,

using a towel dipped in hot water to apply to the ice shell, shouting while applying it: "Lin Chen,

you hurry and think of a way!" Lin Chen stared at his own hand,

suddenly realizing that when he was electrocuted just now, something seemed to have exploded inside his body.

He hurriedly asked the system: 【What happened to me just now? Why did I freeze A Kai?】

【Congratulations to the host! After being stimulated by high-voltage electricity, the Absolute Zero ability has broken through the bottleneck and fully awakened! The current ability can be freely controlled, the freezing range has expanded to 10 meters, and the freezing temperature can reach as low as -500℃.】 The system prompt carried obvious "excitement." 【Additional reward: "Flight" skill (unlimited use), can be controlled by thought to fly, maximum flight altitude 1000 meters.】

While they were talking, the ice shell on A Kai gradually melted under the effect of the hot water,

and he moved his arms, saying with lingering fear: "Brother Lin Chen, your ability is too scary,

you almost froze me into an ice sculpture!" Lin Chen scratched his head in embarrassment,

but his heart was filled with excitement—the fully awakened Absolute Zero, plus the flight skill, meant his strength had reached a new level.

"I'm going out to test my ability!" Lin Chen couldn't wait to push open the main gate, and with a thought,

his body instantly floated up, getting higher and higher from the ground. He looked down at the snow below,

silently chanting "Freeze" in his heart, and waved his fingertips toward the ground—a chill spread out,

and the snow within a 10-meter radius instantly froze, even cracking the ground. "Too powerful!" Lin Chen couldn't help but shout out loud.

Just then, the system prompt suddenly popped up: 【Detected that a Shadow Organization convoy is approaching, totaling 10 vehicles, carrying heavy weapons, expected to arrive in 5 minutes.】

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold, and he flew above the villa, waiting for the Shadow Organization people to come. Soon, the convoy appeared in his field of vision,

and Lin Chen thought, flying above the convoy, and waved cold air toward the vehicles. "Crack" sounds rang out one after another,

the wheels of the 10 vehicles were instantly frozen, and the car bodies were wrapped in a layer of ice shell; the people inside wanted to shoot, but found the gun barrels were all frozen shut.

【Detected that Shadow Organization members have all been frozen, completing the "Active Defense" mission. Reward: Ability Control Manual ×1.】 The system prompt popped up, and Lin Chen landed on the ground,

looking at the convoy frozen into ice blocks,

his heart feeling extremely satisfied. At this time, the system prompted again: 【The host's current strength has met the "Revenge Prerequisites," and you can go find the relatives and friends who betrayed you in your past life to carry out revenge actions.】

Lin Chen's eyes lit up,

and he questioned the system: 【Then what about my ex-girlfriend Su Qing? Why can't I seek revenge on her?】 The system was silent for a few seconds, only popping up: 【The target does not currently meet the revenge conditions, specific reasons are temporarily unavailable.】 Lin Chen frowned,

although confused, he didn't ask further. Being able to settle scores with those relatives and friends who kicked him while he was down was already satisfying enough.

He clenched his fists, the chill at his fingertips growing stronger: "Just wait,

how you treated me in my past life, this time I will make you pay back double! First beat to death,

then freeze into ice sculptures with Absolute Zero, and finally throw them to feed the zombies!" He turned back to look at the villa and said to the system: 【Locate the relatives and friends who betrayed me in my past life, and plan the revenge route.】 【3 targets have been located, respectively located at the abandoned hospital in the east of the city, the warehouse in the west of the city, and the survivor base in the south of the city, the route has been planned.】

Lin Chen took a deep breath, preparing to return to the villa to tell Xia Nuan and A Kai before setting off.

But he didn't notice that behind a window on the second floor of the villa, a black shadow was watching his back,

the communicator in its hand lit up, and the screen displayed "Target revenge plan initiated, can execute next step."
