Of course, considering Seahorse's physical condition, such a death was not exactly surprising. Once Seahorse died, Zhang Heng immediately took a kerosene lamp from the backpack on his back.

This seemingly ordinary kerosene lamp had a remarkably magical effect. Within the range its light could reach, it maintained a constant temperature.
