The Incident Ends!

More than an hour later.

White, low-temperature clouds arrived as expected.

Like a silent ice tide, they spread slowly from the horizon.

Frost quickly condensed on the surfaces of distant buildings, and windows were covered with icy fog, as if they were being gradually frozen in silence.

The entire city seemed to be falling into a frozen slumber, gradually falling silent.

Shen Heng silently watched the scene before him, then suddenly asked:

What impact will this cold cloud have on Linhai?

"If it's just a short-term covering, exposed plants will freeze to death, water bodies will freeze, some metals and building materials will become brittle due to the low temperature, and electronic devices may malfunction. Apart from that, if the duration is short, the structural damage will be relatively limited," Nie Xingping was still standing on the side, replied.

"What about repairs?" Shen Heng then asked.

"If enough funds and manpower are invested in de-icing, equipment maintenance, and replacing the frozen vegetation, basic functions can be restored within a few days," Nie Xingping replied.

A few days?... Shen Heng nodded slightly and didn't speak again.

The low-temperature cloud clusters were gradually approaching in everyone's eyes.

The icy chill below spread over the buildings and streets, eventually enveloping everyone on the rooftop.

The already dim sky sank completely into a chilling gray-white due to the biting cold brought by the clouds and the Distortion and refraction of light.

Shen Heng gazed at the rolling white cold wave a hundred meters away and slowly stood up.

"It's time to go, let's go downstairs."

Everyone nodded and turned to follow Shen Heng.

The footsteps headed towards the stairwell.

However, before he even reached the top of the stairs, Shen Heng abruptly stopped again.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards one side of the rooftop.

Suddenly, a figure appeared there, seemingly out of nowhere.

He was a man in his thirties, dressed in a neat suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with a stern face.

In his hand, he was also holding a black leather notebook.

The Origin Power fluctuations are off; were they suppressed?... But the notebook in his hand... Judging from the perception, it's a notebook made of extraordinary materials, that is, from animal or plant-based Calamity Beast... Shen Heng's gaze swept over the man in front of him.

Seemingly surprised that Shen Heng had noticed his situation so quickly, he glanced at Shen Heng again, but that was all; his face remained expressionless.

His gaze swept over Shen Heng and the others before finally settling on Shen Heng.

Are you the current head of the Linhai Supervision Bureau?

"Yes, Linhai Supervision Bureau, Shen Heng." Shen Heng nodded.

"Shenzhen, Lu Zhaoming," the middle-aged man introduced himself.

Is he Lu Zhaoming?... Shen Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was dressed in a neat suit.

Lu Zhaoming.

Director of the Shenzhen Supervision Bureau.

Dean of the Southern Martial Arts Academy.

One of only six S-Class ability users currently in the Great Xia Supervision Bureau.

Because headquarters doesn't know why they started concealing member information, they are unclear about their abilities.

The order of rank is also unclear for this reason.

However, considering the resources invested by an S-Class ability user, and the fact that I was told I was at the Fifth Tier when I joined two years ago, the other party should have already reached... the Sixth Tier!

but...

Shen Heng stared intently at Lu Zhaoming.

How did they suddenly appear?

The moment I heard the wind whistling and it seemed to be taking a detour, I turned to look, but...

He suddenly appeared in the center of the rooftop, as if he had always been there.

Ability?

"Are you sent by headquarters to handle this incident?" Fan Hong asked, equally puzzled by the man's appearance.

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoming responded calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Hearing that the person in front of him was indeed sent by headquarters, Fan Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You've finally arrived!"

"When headquarters notified me, I was on my way to another city to deal with a Fourth Tier Calamity Beast incident," Lu Zhaoming said simply.

He didn't seem to be a talkative person; he simply explained why he was only arriving now and then didn't say anything more.

Shen Heng glanced at Lu Zhaoming, but didn't pay much attention to it.

He walked to Lu Zhaoming's side, then looked up at the low-temperature cloud cluster that had quickly approached within a hundred meters.

Do you have a way to handle this?

Lu Zhaoming also turned his head to look at the cloud formation that was gradually spreading in.

"The rat swarm has been completely wiped out, right?"

"Yes, with the concerted efforts of the entire city, the rat swarm was completely wiped out at the front lines, and the Sharp-Horned Rat that led the swarm was also..."

Shen Heng paused for a moment, then said:

He was also killed in the explosion.

Seemingly sensing the gravity in Shen Heng's words, Lu Zhaoming glanced at Shen Heng, then turned his gaze back to the slowly approaching cloud.

Where do you plan to store these things?

Clouds? Where are they stored?... Shen Heng was taken aback.

He had initially thought the other side would use a strong wind or something to blow the clouds away, but now it sounded... that didn't seem to be the case.

Ability?

Without thinking too much, he immediately turned to look at Le Gu Nan.

In what form can these cryogenic clouds be preserved?

"It can be gaseous, liquid, or solid, but the denser the density, the more difficult it is to preserve for a long time," Le Gu Nan explained.

Upon hearing this, Shen Heng looked at Lu Zhaoming.

Seemingly understanding Shen Heng's meaning, Lu Zhaoming spoke up:

"Solid state, 3 days; liquid state, 5 days; gaseous state..."

He paused for a moment, then said:

"While I can restrain them, it's too dangerous. It would be difficult for you to collect them safely, so I don't recommend this method."

Shen Heng nodded slightly. He glanced at the map, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Please solidify these cloud-like materials and temporarily seal them in the abandoned mine pit number seven in the west of the city." Shen Heng spoke quickly but clearly.

He pointed to an area in the upper left corner of the map.

There, there is a former abandoned mine located by the Linhai.

"Three days is enough." He looked at Lu Zhaoming and added solemnly:

"We'll have someone dispose of these things again within three days."

Lu Zhaoming nodded slightly, offering no objection. He turned his head to look at the approaching white, low-temperature cloud.

As you get closer, you can already smell a faint, pungent ammonia odor and a biting chill.

Shen Heng turned to look at Lu Zhaoming, intending to see how the other party would handle the cloud formation.

He gently picked up the black leather notebook and opened it.

Because of his position, Shen Heng couldn't see what he was writing; he could only hear the pen tip lightly touching the paper.

A moment later, with a "rip" sound, a page was torn off and dispersed like smoke right before Shen Heng and the others' eyes.

Then...

Shen Heng suddenly felt a momentary lapse in his mind.

He seemed to realize something and turned to look at the low-temperature cloud that had been spreading in their direction.

The cloud seemed to be fixed in place by something, suspended in mid-air.

It remained there, frozen in its windswept posture.

Then...

Shen Heng felt as if the world before him was breaking down into frames.

In each frame, the cloud mass shrinks back to several kilometers away.

In just a few frames, the clouds that had covered the sky and pressed down on the surroundings with an icy chill vanished before their eyes.

Sunlight streamed down, its warm rays dispelling the last vestiges of chill, Linhai returned to its tranquility once more...
