Immortal in The Apocalypse

Hearing what Zhu Lin said, Ji Yang said, "We must do something. Otherwise, they will all die."

After he said that, Zhu Lin took out the red cloak and put it on, and said, "I’m going out for a while. Open the gate for them."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiu Wu stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said, "Lin’er–"

Before Xiu Wu could stop her, Zhu Lin activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique and ran toward the military trucks in the distance. Clenching his outstretched hand tightly, Xiu Wu really hated himself for being a mortal at this moment. Ji Yang stood beside him, glanced at his clenched hands and cold face, and then said, "Don’t worry, Xiao Lin will be fine."

After hearing what he said, Xiu Wu was silent for a moment and then said, "I know. But I hate that I can only see her walking into danger alone."

Ji Yang looked at his expression and patted his shoulder without saying anything. Meanwhile, Zhu Lin had already run past the military trucks. The guards were shocked when they saw her running towards the cold wave without hesitation.

Seeing that she stopped running and stood motionless there staring at the incoming white fog, the captain shouted anxiously: "Miss Zhu, come back!"

Hearing his words, Zhu Lin glanced at him and then looked at the oncoming cold wave. Seeing that everything turned into ice in front of her, Zhu Lin calmly took out a piece of fire element talisman. When she got her spiritual palace back, the first thing she did was to check her warehouse. She was delighted when she saw everything was intact.

Facing the incoming white fog, Zhu Lin held the fire element talisman between her index and middle fingers, injected divine energy into the talisman, and activated the fire formation written on the talisman. The next second, a huge red formation appeared in the air above her head.

When the red formation shone brightly, Zhu Lin said calmly: "Come forth, Zhu Que."

As soon as she finished speaking, the red formation spun rapidly, and a huge scarlet bird suddenly flew out of the red formation.

The vermilion bird opened its huge and beautiful red wings covered with fire and let out a high-pitched scream: "Kii~!"

When high-pitched screams sounded around, the vermilion bird flew into the sky. Hovering in the sky, the vermilion bird flapped its huge wings. The next second, a huge fire broke out from the vermilion bird’s wings.

The moment the vermilion fire meets the cold wave, the fire turns the ice particles in the air into water vapor and creates a thick layer of mist. Seeing that vermilion fire could block the cold wave, Zhu Lin threw the fire element talisman into the air and formed a hand seal. When she completed the hand seal, the fire talisman soared higher into the sky and hovered above the vermilion bird.

After that, she looked back and saw that the military trucks were already approaching the base. Feeling that the temperature was getting lower and lower, Zhu Lin knew that the fire element talisman would not last long. Making a quick decision, she activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique and ran back to the base.

The moment the last military truck passed the fence, she stepped into the barrier. Before she could take off her red cloak, she felt someone pull her. As she fell into the warm embrace, a pair of strong arms hugged her tightly.

She patted Xiu Wu on the back and said gently: "Can you let me take off my cloak first? It’s very hot in the base wearing this phoenix feather cloak."

After a long silence, Xiu Wu let her go and looked at her quietly. Seeing his gloomy expression, Zhu Lin lowered her eyes in guilt and whispered: "I’m sorry."

After hearing her sincere apology, Xiu Wu sighed and said, "There is no next time."

Zhu Lin nodded to him and said with a smile: "Mhm."

After Xiu Wu confirmed that she was fine, he looked at Ji Yang and said, "From today on, the base will be closed and no one will be allowed to go out."

"What if someone wants to come in?" Tan Wei asked.

Xiu Wu looked at him and said, "After careful inspection, let them in."

Ji Yang nodded and said, "All right. I will arrange the new policies immediately."

Seeing the guards and medical staff were busy taking care of the injured people, Zhu Lin said, "Ji Yang, I think we need to prepare enough food and water in case of emergency."

Following her gaze, Ji Yang thought for a while and said, "Mhm, you are right. Since the base is going to be closed, the supernatural beings couldn’t go out to collect supplies. As for ordinary people, they can’t go out in this extremely cold weather. It looks like we need to increase our food production as soon as possible."

Xiu Wu knew that Ji Yang could handle everything, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Yang, thank you for your hard work. I will leave the base matters to you."

Ji Yang smiled and said, "There is no need to say these polite words between us. You can leave the paperwork to me and focus on increasing your strength."

After chatting with Ji Yang and Tan Wei for a while, Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin went to check the formation plates around Sector E. Standing at the first location of the formation plate, Zhu Lin picked up the broken formation plate from the ground.

Xiu Wu looked at the broken formation plate on her hand and said, "It seems that the formation plate was broken due to the sudden temperature drop."

Zhu Lin sighed and said, "When I was refining this formation plate, I could only find some leftover metal plates as materials. Now that the formation plate has been broken, I must set up a new defensive formation around the base. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous if we were attacked later."
