As Lin Zhen drove forward, the snow on the ground was already nearly a foot thick when they were getting close to Zhaodong.

In just one hour, such a thick snowfall is almost unprecedented.

The car's windshield wipers swung back and forth, and Lin Zhen exhaled a puff of white breath.

"It's really cold. The temperature must be almost minus forty degrees Celsius."

Martial artists are physically strong and have vigorous blood and energy, so they don't care about temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius. However, temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius are very difficult for them to endure, especially in the Wilderness Area.

Today's temperature is clearly more than minus thirty degrees Celsius, and it is estimated that the temperature will continue to drop.

When the vehicle reached the edge of Zhaodong with great difficulty, it could no longer proceed.

Lin Zhen got out of the car and, using his immense strength, pushed it forward until he found a secluded corner and parked it.

At this time, Zhaodong was completely shrouded in white, and even the Mutated Beast seemed to have disappeared. The extremely cold weather made many Mutated Beast unwilling to come out.

In a short while, Lin Zhen's tire tracks disappeared. At this point, if Lin Zhen didn't use flying, it would be impossible for him to go back. No one could leave Zhaodong before the Blizzard ended.

In this kind of icy and snowy weather, you can't walk very fast at all, and you'll only become a target for Mutated Beast in the wild. After all, there's no cover in the desolate wilderness, and you'll definitely be spotted by Mutated Beast. On the contrary, it's relatively safer in the city.

Lin Zhen was wearing a white cotton-padded coat, and the clothes underneath were also warm, so she didn't look bulky.

Looking up at Zhaodong in the wind and snow, Lin Zhen began to walk forward, wanting to find a place to stay first.

Lin Zhen didn't walk fast, entering from the edge of the city and proceeding slowly.

Before they even entered the city, a hissing sound came from overhead, and a huge black shadow descended from the sky!

Golden-Eyed Eagle, B-Rank Mutated Beast!

Lin Zhen did not expect to encounter such a fierce bird as the Golden-Eyed Eagle as soon as he entered Zhaodong. This was also the first time he had encountered a Mutated Beast eagle since his rebirth.

The Golden-Eyed Eagle is the former goshawk, which has mutated to the size of a small airplane. Its huge wingspan is five meters wide, and it can bring a blizzard even before it lands.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Black Dragon Spear appeared in his hand.

However, the Golden-Eyed Eagle came too fast. Seeing its huge claws coming at him, Lin Zhen had no time to fight back. He suddenly dodged to the side and avoided the attack with his excellent Neural Reaction.

The Golden-Eyed Eagle missed its first attack, circled in the air, and swooped down again in the blink of an eye.

"You beast, take this!"

Lin Zhen's Long Spear trembled, and Rainstorm!

A large burst of gunfire erupted from the snow, whipping up a blizzard as it rushed towards the Golden-Eyed Eagle.

The Golden-Eyed Eagle's massive claws were as hard as metal, clashing with Lin Zhen's Long Spear and producing a series of metallic clanging sounds. Its feathers seemed to cover its body like a layer of iron plates. Although it could not dodge Lin Zhen's Rainstorm spear light, this level of attack was not fatal to it.

After a series of clanging sounds, Lin Zhen raised his gun to withstand a claw strike from the Golden-Eyed Eagle.

The immense impact caused Lin Zhen's body to lean backward, but he was prepared. He performed a backflip in mid-air to dissipate the impact, and before the Golden-Eyed Eagle could take off, he fired another shot.

Waterfall!

After comprehending the Lightning Ions, Lin Zhen's Waterfall roared down like a golden torrent!

Golden-Eyed Eagle knew that this shot was hard to block, and it was about to glide to the outside in the air to avoid it, but unexpectedly, a flash of silver light appeared in front of its eyes, and Lin Zhen's three Flying Knife cut into its head in succession!

The angle of the three slashes was subtle, heading straight for its left eye, causing it to instinctively stop dodging to the left. As soon as its body paused, Waterfall of flashing Electric Light descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

Amidst the swirling snow, the Golden-Eyed Eagle's massive body was sent flying backward by Lin Zhen's single blow, letting out a mournful cry as its body carved a long chasm into the ground.

A huge wound appeared on the Golden-Eyed Eagle's chest, and half of its wing was severely injured. It was still trying to flap its wings, but Lin Zhen glided in front of it, raised his hand, and the Liquid Metal at his waist turned into a sword. He slashed the Golden-Eyed Eagle's throat with the sword!

Blood splattered everywhere. The Golden-Eyed Eagle flapped its wings for a while, but finally failed to take off again and died.

Lin Zhen broke open the Golden-Eyed Eagle's brain, dug out the crystal, and put it into his Space Ring.

"This body shouldn't be wasted either; B-Class Mutated Beast is extremely rare."

Lin Zhen didn't have time to dissect it, so he simply put the entire Golden-Eyed Eagle into his Space Ring, which immediately took up one-seventh or one-eighth of the space.

"Mind Power Master have the greatest advantage in dealing with avian Mutated Beast because they can manipulate Flying Knife with their Mental Power. Once a bird falls, it will be difficult for it to take off again if it is controlled skillfully."

Lin Zhen was in high spirits after dealing with a B-Rank Mutated Beast. This Mutated Beast was worth about 30 to 40 million, so today was a great start.

"With Raptor like the Golden-Eyed Eagle around here, there probably aren't many other high-level Mutated Beast. I can find a place to roost around here."

The wind and snow were getting heavier, and the visibility around them was less than 30 meters. Lin Zhen walked through the snow and came to a small building.

There were still writings on the wall in front of the small building, which seemed to have been a bar before. There were also two cars that had crashed together outside the building, but they were buried by the heavy snow, so Lin Zhen didn't pay any attention to them.

"This door looks fairly sturdy, and it seems like someone used to live here. I should be able to rest here for a while."

Lin Zhen arrived at the door, brushed the snow off her body, and pushed the door open forcefully.

Lin Zhen pushed the door open, but as soon as he did, a dark figure descended from the sky!

Lin Zhen reacted incredibly quickly, unleashing a single shot with his Black Dragon Spear. With a clang, a Great Jin box was deflected by Lin Zhen and fell to the ground.

"This is a trap set by humans."

Lin Zhen was secretly on guard. It seemed there were people inside this small building. Encountering other martial artists in the wild might not be a good thing, as many fights often occurred this way.

Sure enough, after Lin Zhen knocked down the metal box, two people ran out of the room.

Both of them were martial artists, but Lin Zhen had never seen such a low-level martial artist in the wild.

The boy looked to be only a junior soldier. He was holding a gun and when he saw Lin Zhen, he raised the gun with trembling hands. However, in his panic, he didn't even take off the safety. It was obvious that he had no combat experience.

The other martial artist was even worse, appearing to be only at the amateur level, and she was a woman.

The woman was around twenty years old, with a beautiful face, wearing a pink down jacket. She looked nervous when she saw Lin Zhen, wondering how two people like her could end up in Martial Artist Graveyard like Zhaodong.

Lin Zhen, who had been somewhat wary, relaxed and said to the two Human Path, "You two don't need to be too nervous. I mean no harm. I just arrived in Zhaodong and was looking for a place to stay. I didn't expect someone to barge in here. If it's inconvenient, I'll find another place."

The man with the gun said to Lin Zhen, "Then you'd better leave quickly, you're not welcome here."

Lin Zhen shrugged. He didn't blame the two for setting a trap. It was one of the ways to protect oneself in the wild. Since the other party didn't welcome outsiders, it was better for him to leave. The county town was so big that he could find a place to stay anywhere.

Just as Lin Zhen was about to leave, the woman finally spoke.

"If you're alone, I think you can stay here. The snow and wind outside are so strong, it's not easy to find a place to stay. Besides, there are a lot of Mutated Bird around here, and if you run into one, you're doomed."

"Su Na, how can you just take in a stranger like that? What if this guy has bad intentions? We'll all be in danger." The man with the gun was very unhappy.

The woman in Red Dress Su Na, rolled her eyes at him. "What do you mean by outsider? We're in the middle of nowhere, everyone has a hard time. Our common enemy is the Mutated Beast. Don't treat everyone like an enemy, okay?"

Su Na approached Lin Zhen and extended a small, fair hand. "Hello, my name is Su Na, and I'm a news anchor from the Ice City Base City News Bureau. Welcome!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen realized why he had encountered these two people. It turned out they were news anchors. No wonder Su Na looked somewhat familiar to him.

The Base City's News Bureau is a very independent unit, directly under the jurisdiction of the Base City, but it has the freedom to report and interview. These people are also called war correspondents by martial artists, and they often run around to collect materials.

However, they are usually protected by someone, so it is rare to see two rookies like this.

Su Na seemed to notice Lin Zhen's confusion and said, "This is the cameraman Gao Feng. We originally had a bodyguard, but not long ago we encountered a giant eagle, and our bodyguard was killed by the eagle. Only the two of us escaped in our car. We wanted to go back, but we encountered heavy snow and couldn't leave, so we can only stay here for the time being."

Lin Zhen then remembered the car outside the door; it turned out to be their Interview Vehicle.

Lin Zhen also reached out and gently shook Su Na's hand. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Lin Zhen."
