In this more than minus forty degrees winter night, the military tent does not keep warm.
The current logistics support is not even comparable to before the mutation, and even then, Great Xia Country was far behind the ard to the teeth riches like the United States. These officers naturally understand the situation; in fact, within just two days, many people have already suffered frostbite.
Half an hour later, most of the soldiers began to retreat, but about a hundred thousand soldiers remained stationed to prevent the barbarians from coming down the mountains and breaking through the encirclent to escape everywhere.
The night was getting deeper.
Chen Shouyi floated quietly in the sky at a kiloter altitude, snowflakes dancing all around, as he overlooked below like a sculpture.
The Faith Value was burning rapidly, astronomical amounts of information flowed into his mind through his eyes and ears and were processed quickly.
He frowned slightly.
Below in the mountainous snowy land, footprints were everywhere.
Chaotic and disordered, like a tangled ball of yarn, and the worst part is, as it snows, these footprints are gradually getting covered, and even after watching for a long ti, he couldn't find the location of the spatial passage.
He found a few suspicious places, went to check, but still didn't discover anything.
On the other hand, he did eliminate quite a few barbarians.
Half an hour later, seeing the snow getting heavier, he finally gave up helplessly. He initially thought to follow the spatial passage and resolve the mastermind once and for all, then go ho to sleep that night, but now it seems like he can only wait for the other side to reveal themselves.
This is not arrogance.
Confidence is built from repeated successes in battles. He has resisted the powerful divine power of the God of Lightning, killed two barbarian gods of dium divine power, and several other barbarian gods of varying strength.
His hands are stained with divine blood.
As long as it isn't a barbarian god of powerful divine power, it's a matter of normalcy for him, just a difference between one punch and a few punches.
Moreover, barbarian gods of powerful divine power aren't easily encountered; even in other worlds, they are as rare as hen's teeth, each a top-level powerhouse and at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Many barbarians have co to Earth (including the dead and the living), but in terms of powerful divine power, there's only the God of Lightning, not counting that mysterious person, of course.
...
The snow continued to fall heavily, and Chen Shouyi descended.
The soldiers on duty in the camp had turned into snown. Tonight is bound to be a difficult night for these soldiers. He withdrew his gaze, returned to the tent arranged for him by the military, and lit the gasoline lamp.
Since the two little ones have been rather sleepy and listless lately, he left them at ho, as this task is relatively dangerous. Coming out this ti, Chen Shouyi felt a bit lonely, missing them quite dearly.
"Leader, I've co to change the new hot water for you!" Shortly after returning, a voice ca from outside the door.
Chen Shouyi unzipped the military tent, and a young female service soldier with a red, frost-bitten face and covered in snow seized the chance to secretly glance at him.
"I don't need anything, it's so cold, go to sleep early!"
"Thank you for the concern, Leader. Let
change the hot water for you; by now, it must have cooled!" The female service soldier entered with a smile, bringing with her the warmth and straightforwardness of Heijiang Province. She swiftly placed the two new bottles of hot water on the table, and took the old ones, then rembered President Chen was from the south and asked, "By the way, General Manager Chen, would you like a bath?"
"No need." Chen Shouyi replied helplessly.
After the female service soldier left, he zipped up, turned off the gasoline lamp, and began to sleep.
Today is not the ti to act as the surrounding civilians have not been completely evacuated yet. If a fight breaks out, it could easily involve them. There's no rush,
...
Tam World.
In the ice cave atop the snow mountain in the Divine Country of the God of Cold Winter, a hideous and terrifying monster was coiled, its icy-blue scales emitting a cold enchanting divine light.
Like most barbarian gods, it too accidentally discovered the spatial passage and couldn't resist the temptation, beginning to stir, yet it knew nothing of the current situation on Earth.
Apart from the territories already occupied by the barbarian gods, the rest were either major powerful countries or within their sphere of influence.
None of which are easy to conquer.
Information in Tam World is isolated and circulates poorly.
On one hand, Tam World is vast, on the other hand, gods are competitors with each other, no social order has been ford, still in the barbaric bloody period of big fish eating small fishes and small fishes eating shrimps.
Like a food chain, but at a higher level.
In Tam World, to survive and live well, there's only one way, that is to be powerful enough.
Gods with weak divine power are like at the bottom of the food chain, most miserable.
They need to hide themselves while developing secretly, with many hiding spots, seldom wandering around apart from their own territory.
Losing an avatar is nothing major, could always recuperate, still a hero afterwards. But if a powerful enemy finds the Divine Country through the avatar, there's truly no turning back.
As for demigods and divine creatures, they go without ntion, totally the prey of prey, shrimp level.
Only by becoming a deity of weak divine power can one slightly catch a breath. At this level, within the top 20%, even as mighty as gods of dium divine power, they wouldn't dare attack their Divine Country recklessly. Small, yet able to form a small stronghold.
Advance when it's favorable, retreat when it's strategic, as long as one is cautious, doesn't act recklessly, opening a few sub-bases, survival ability greatly enhances. Many can survive to grow into dium divine power,
The God of Cold Winter is at this level, otherwise wouldn't be so bold, not much probing or intelligence gathering before betting heavily upfront.
Once reaching dium divine power, one is already a regional overlord, apart from needing to be wary of a few powerful divine presences, there's virtually no threat. In fact, even those with powerful divine power seldom provoke deities of such might, afraid of either mutual destruction, massacring their worldly territories.
The ice cave was silent, with only occasional cracking sounds from the ice walls.
Its eyes half-closed as if asleep. Suddenly, it opened them, revealing a pair of entirely black eyes, like two black holes: "Useless!"
...
Before dawn the next day, Chen Shouyi washed his face and opened the tent.
He found the snow outside had piled up to waist height.
He glanced at the sky, which was dark with leaden clouds blanketing the sky, and large goose feather snowflakes were pouring down from above. Since last night, the snow hasn't stopped and seems to be getting heavier.
A squad of soldiers carrying bundles of entrenching tools jogged past. In the distance, the road was bustling with activity, as a large number of soldiers were clearing snow and working on traffic removal.
He felt quite heavy in his heart. He didn't know how many barbarians starved or froze to death overnight, certainly not a small number, but continuing like this would make the encirclent difficult.
With such heavy snow, the army simply couldn't enter the mountains.
ps: See the second chapter tomorrow morning, self-sworn, must endure with tears.
