Ma Miaodan fluttered her beautiful eyes and mustered the courage to say sothing daring: "I think uncle and auntie wouldn't mind us dating."
Zhou Furu felt a blank in his mind.
This year I'm sixteen, and my girlfriend is already asking to et my parents, what should I do?
*
Dongli Kingdom.
The extre cold cyclone still shrouded Guangren City.
The terrifying disaster in Dongli Kingdom's third-largest city had now alard the entire Canglan Star, with several satellites in space aid at Guangren City.
Compared to the initial outbreak, the cyclone's range had expanded by a full double.
It initially covered only half of Guangren City, but now it completely blanketed the entire city.
Even the airport on the southern outskirts of the city was entirely swallowed by the cyclone.
Airliners that failed to take off were parked motionlessly on the tarmac, their surfaces covered in thick frost.
The waiting hall was deathly silent, with no lights visible from outside.
Due to the dreadful cold and the cyclone-driven winds, a nearby substation was destroyed, leading to a massive blackout at the airport.
This was a typical disaster caused by flawed infrastructure.
Before the Age of Calamity, it was, of course, not a flaw.
After the Age of Calamity, the environnt on Canglan Star beca so harsh that the lack of adequate protection for substations was a serious flaw.
In contrast, look at Great Xia.
After the Red Lightning incident happened years ago, Great Xia spent a large sum to renovate the national substations, deliberately erecting protective shelters and even constructing nurous underground substations.
Thus, facing the fierce frost disaster, Great Xia was rather calm.
The Dongli Kingdom's unwillingness to invest heavily in renovating its power grid led to today's disaster.
At this mont.
The airport entrance suddenly flickered.
A shadow appeared out of nowhere.
It was Yang Fan.
He used the Shuttle Boat to leap here from the Great Xia Capital in one step.
He walked unhurriedly to the frost-covered glass door, observed it carefully, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Poor quality."
The thick tempered glass under the frost had already burst from the cold, though it hadn't shattered into fragnts all over the ground.
This too was an "inferior" product of the Age of Calamity.
In today's Great Xia, withstanding temperatures as low as minus one hundred degrees was the minimum standard.
Theoretically, the greenhouse within the extre cold cyclone should be minus ninety degrees, and tempered glass shouldn't crack at this temperature.
Yet the glass door at Guangren City Airport cracked, indicating the quality of the glass was substandard.
The Dongli People particularly loved to boast online, "We are a developed country," but a country developed enough that it couldn't even make a proper glass made people speechless.
Yang Fan's figure blurred for a mont, passing through the glass door like a ghost.
The scene he saw inside the hall made him shake his head once more.
The place had turned into a white world of frost.
He saw figures covered in frost, passengers who had been frozen to death, curled up, scattered in the waiting hall.
This was just the entrance; considering the terminal's scale, there must be quite a few frozen to death in the airport.
Yang Fan watched a large and two small bodies, sighing inwardly, "The managent capability of Dongli People is really poor."
When the frost disaster first began, the airport wasn't within the disaster area; logically, they should have evacuated the surrounding areas, including the airport, as soon as possible.
But the Dongli People did nothing, rely watching as the extre cold cyclone gradually expanded until the airport was engulfed, eventually turned into a lifeless land.
Strictly speaking, so many people freezing to death at the airport was largely a man-made disaster.
Yang Fan walked leisurely, though the ground was covered in a layer of white frost, leaving not even the slightest trace of a footprint wherever he went.
Even a superpower user adept at tracking couldn't find the slightest clue upon careful inspection here.
Just then.
"Buzz～"
A string of beads hanging from his wrist gently vibrated.
Upon close inspection, one of the beads was clearly a Level 4 Exotic Material—Moon Rock.
Yang Fan suddenly uttered an "Oh?", raising his head to look ahead: "What a coincidence?"
Five hundred ters away.
A figure dressed in an enhanced cold-resistant suit was shivering and walking on the second floor of the terminal.
"Why is it so cold?!"
This person muttered in the Dongli language.
Amidst the dead silence, though the sentence was not loud, it sounded particularly clear, prompting this person to quickly shut their mouth.
At this point, the temperature inside the terminal had dropped close to minus eighty degrees.
Coupled with the terrible extre cold Qi saturated here, an ordinary person, even dressed in a cold-resistant suit, wouldn't last even a minute without heating.
This guy managed to walk while shaking, seemingly unscathed.
This person's identity was thus obvious—a superpower user.
He walked dozens of ters, then suddenly stopped, his eyeballs turning into an eerie blue, looking quite special.
This was most likely a phenonon associated with exercising his superpower.
After a second.
The blue color faded.
The eyeballs returned to their original state.
His face imdiately lit up with joy: "Just up ahead!"
The individual quickened his pace and entered a shop.
With everything covered in white frost, it was impossible to discern the shop sign, only tables, chairs, and a bar were visible inside, the staff nowhere to be seen.
He walked straight to a door in the shop's corner, grabbed the handle, and forcefully turned it.
"Snap!"
The handle broke off.
Extre cold made the tal brittle, causing it to snap with slight force.
He hesitated for a mont, bewildered by the broken handle in his hand.
He grit his teeth, took two steps back, then ran a few steps and lashed out at the door with a flying kick.
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed clearly.
The dented tal door remained unmoved.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The echo returned from afar.
Realizing he couldn't continue this way, he felt discouraged.
He had co here to act discreetly and was unwilling to cause a commotion.
What if another superpower user entered and was drawn by the continuous noise?
At this mont.
A voice suddenly resounded in his head: "You can control the power to break the lock's latch by shaking it."
He was profoundly startled, abruptly looking back.
Seeing nothing behind him.
The individual displayed a ghostly aghast expression, his heart pounding wildly.
The voice continued: "Though your power level is not great, and your control is poor, try a few tis, and you should be able to open the door."
His body shuddered a few more tis, querying in a trembling voice: "Who... who are you?"
The voice didn't answer, instead posed a question: "Lu Yunhao, what kind of superpower is that?"
Lu Yunhao showed alarm once more: "How do you know my na?"
The voice offered no reply.
Lu Yunhao swallowed hard, his instincts warned him that this other was very dangerous.
Thus he answered truthfully: "My superpower is called 'Treasure Hunting Eye,' I live in a small town near the airport. I noticed a treasure light radiating from here, so I ca to try my luck."
The voice clicked its tongue: "The world is truly full of wonders, never imagined Canglan Star would produce such a gem."
The voice carried a hint of delight: "Though Treasure Hunting Eye is a low-grade superpower, in certain aspects, it is no less than a top-grade superpower."
Hearing words like "top-grade superpower," Lu Yunhao felt even more uneasy.
Because an ordinary superpower user hadn't even encountered middle-grade superpowers, how could they possibly comnt on top-grade ones in re conversation?
Therefore, the other party was definitely not simple.
Lu Yunhao imdiately raised both hands, respectfully saying: "Honorable sir, there's a treasure inside this door, and now it's yours, it's too cold here, please allow to leave first."
No sooner had he finished speaking.
The voice took on a chilling tone: "Sorry, your superpower is quite good, I'll take it first, as I'll need the Treasure Hunting Eye shortly for an exploration of a ruin."
Lu Yunhao was terrified.
What did "take it" an?
Superpowers were mutations of the soul, wasn't it said they couldn't be deprived?
He vaguely sensed that he seed to have stumbled upon a colossal secret.
