Chapter 79

Lin Chen looked at the wreckage of the Shadow Organization outside the villa,

and hadn't recovered from the shock when he saw the Ice Sickle General suddenly turn around, holding its scythe and rushing toward the villa.

His heart tightened, and just as he wanted to mobilize his Absolute Zero ability for defense, a pale blue light shield suddenly lit up on the perimeter wall of the villa—with a "bang,"

the Ice Sickle General hit the light shield and was instantly bounced away, falling heavily into the snow.

"What is this?"

Lin Chen was stunned, he had never installed this kind of defense for the villa.

The system immediately popped up a prompt: 【Detected that the light shield is a hidden defense that comes with the Sky Dome Villa, activated only when the host encounters a fatal threat, lasting 10 minutes.】 The Ice Sickle General climbed up from the ground, staring coldly at the villa,

and shouted hoarsely: "I will be back, you guys remember, just wait!" After speaking, it turned and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was full of confusion: the Ice Sickle General could clearly kill them easily,

why did it suddenly retreat? And saying "will be back," what was its purpose? Just as he was pondering,

Xia Nuan suddenly ran over, grabbing his arm and saying anxiously,

"Lin Chen!

We haven't fed the hamster we raised! It's been left alone since last month, don't know how it is!"

Lin Chen then remembered the little hamster he had picked up at the convenience store, which had been kept in the guest room of the villa.

His heart panicked, and he followed Xia Nuan and ran quickly to the guest room—the hamster in the cage was curled up in the corner,

its body already stiff, clearly frozen to death. Xia Nuan saw this scene, tears instantly falling,

squatting by the cage, crying softly and saying,

"Little Cang, why did you die... it's all my fault, forgot to keep you warm..."

Lin Chen looked at Xia Nuan's sad appearance,

and didn't feel good in his heart either, asking the system: 【System, can you save this hamster? No matter what method, I am willing to trade.】 【Detected that the hamster has been dead for less than 1 hour, can consume 10 units of ability energy to resurrect it, after resurrection it can be attached with the "Extreme Cold Immunity" attribute, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as 1 million degrees below zero, do you wish to execute?】

"Execute!

Resurrect it immediately!"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation. The next second, a beam of white light fell on the hamster,

and the little hamster that had been stiff suddenly moved, slowly opening its eyes, crawling out from the corner,

and even squeaking twice at Xia Nuan. 【Hamster resurrected, Extreme Cold Immunity attribute activated; additionally issued 10kg of hamster food, 1 constant temperature hamster cage, already placed next to the cage.】 The system prompt popped up, and the hamster immediately ran to the food bowl,

eating the hamster food in large mouthfuls, and occasionally standing up and turning around twice, like dancing.

Xia Nuan broke into a smile through tears, reaching out to stroke the hamster's head: "Great,

Little Cang, you didn't die!" Lin Chen looked at her happy appearance, and felt much more relaxed.

Xia Nuan suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Chen: "We haven't eaten properly since yesterday, I'll cook you guys something delicious? You ask the system,

if it can provide a hen and nine mushrooms, I'll stew chicken soup with mushrooms!"

"No problem!" Lin Chen smiled and said to the system: 【Exchange a fresh hen, nine shiitake mushrooms, and a set of kitchenware and seasonings.】 【Exchange completed, items have been placed in the villa kitchen.】 As soon as the system prompt fell, Xia

Nuan pulled A Kai and ran toward the kitchen: "A Kai, you help me burn the fire, I'll handle the chicken!"

A Kai nodded with a smile: "No problem, I guarantee to keep the fire burning brightly!"

Lin Chen stayed in the guest room, watching the hamster moving happily in the cage, and thought of He Shao's Ice Seal Plan again,

the worry in his heart surging again. He said to the system: 【Check the situation in the core control room, how is He Shao's global ice seal program progressing?】 【Detected that the global ice seal program has been completed by 60%, expected to reach 80% in 30 minutes, once it reaches 100%, the world will enter a permanent ice seal.】 The system prompt made Lin Chen's face change drastically,

he must find He Shao and stop him before the program is completed.

Just then, Xia Nuan's voice came from the kitchen: "Lin Chen! Zhao Qiang and the others haven't eaten yet either, you call them over to wait for the chicken soup together!" Lin Chen responded,

walked out of the guest room, and said to the Dawn Squad members resting in the living room: "Everyone come over,

Xia Nuan is stewing chicken soup, let's eat something together in a while to replenish our strength." Everyone stood up one after another, their faces showing anticipation—in the apocalypse, being able to drink a bowl of hot chicken soup was already a luxury.

Half an hour later, Xia Nuan walked out of the kitchen carrying a large pot of chicken soup, the rich aroma instantly filling the entire living room.

She served the chicken soup into bowls, first handing them to Lin Chen and A Kai: "You guys taste it first, see how it tastes." Lin Chen took the bowl, blew on the heat,

and took a sip—the chicken soup was delicious, and the mushrooms were also full of soup, tasting even better than before the apocalypse. A Kai also hurriedly took a sip, nodding repeatedly:

"Delicious!

Sister Xia Nuan,

your craftsmanship is too amazing!"

Lin Chen just wanted to call Zhao Qiang and the others over to drink, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, his whole body weak,

the bowl in his hand falling to the ground with a "clatter," the soup splashing all over the floor. He looked at his hands,

finding his fingertips going numb, his face also turning pale. A Kai also suddenly covered his stomach,

collapsing to the ground, groaning in pain: "What's going on... my stomach hurts so much..."

Xia Nuan was terrified, hurriedly squatting down to support Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, what's wrong with you?

Is there something wrong with the chicken soup?" Lin Chen wanted to speak, but found he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth, only able to watch his vision getting blurrier and blurrier,

finally losing consciousness completely. Before he fainted, the system suddenly popped up a red prompt: 【Detected that the host and A Kai have poison in their bodies, poison source: mushrooms in the chicken soup...】
