62: Chapter 62 Extreme Cold

[Survival Mission]

[Mission Requirement 1: Survive on the Highway for 23 hours, and the vehicle must not be destroyed!]

[Difficulty: ★☆]

[Accepted]

[Survival mission has started!]

[Please complete the mission as required!]

At the same time, a translucent light screen rose on both sides of the Highway!

A translucent light screen isolating the Highway from the wilderness?

Qin Yun opened the regional communication channel with a thought and searched for the images and videos posted by Betray the Whole World after accepting the mission.

No light screen!

After the other party accepted the mission, there was no such translucent light screen on both sides of the Highway!

Why did it appear when he accepted it?

Could it be because of the different missions?

It was a pity that even though that bastard asked everyone for help, he refused to disclose the mission type and mission requirements.

The information transmitted by the Eye of Insight entry was also very simple.

It is almost indestructible, can be entered but not exited, and other changes may occur at any time!

Just then, Qin Xiaoqi's voice rang out inside the entire tricycle: "Master, the temperature on the Highway is dropping rapidly. It is already 3 degrees lower than before the mission started, and it is still dropping rapidly!"

Qin Yun closed the survivor panel and looked at the screen on the center console.

The screen showed that the temperature before the mission started was 26 degrees Celsius, and now it was 22 degrees—no, it had dropped another degree!

Was it because of the extreme weather that a translucent light screen rose on both sides of the Highway to isolate it?

There was still too little information known to serve as a reference for now.

"Xiao Qi, turn on all the lights on the tricycle, set the primary fog disperser and the primary scanning detector to maximum, and have a drone fly into the air to see how high the light screen is. If it is the same at an altitude of three thousand meters, then have the drone return."

"Xiao Qi received!"

Qin Yun took a steel nail out of his space ring, and the car window opened slightly at the right time. With telekinesis attached, the steel nail shot toward the light screen by the side of the Highway!

The light screen showed no change at all; the sharp end of the steel nail flattened and bent!

Then, he looked at a small stone outside the Highway, wanting to pick it up with telekinesis, but the telekinesis could not pass through the light screen to attach to the small stone!

Besides this, the tricycle's headlights, primary fog disperser, and primary scanning detector could not affect the area outside the Highway!

Even so, the fog disperser was not turned off but kept at the lowest setting!

It was unknown what it would look like from outside the Highway.

Before accepting a survival mission next time, he could set the drone parameters to fly outside first and then automatically penetrate the light screen to fly back to the Highway afterward.

This way, there would be no need to worry about the connection being cut off and the drone crashing after the light screen rose.

"The translucent light screen on both sides of the Highway is... possibly related to the extreme weather, it cannot be determined at the moment!"

"Master, the temperature has dropped to minus 1 degree, and it is still dropping rapidly!"

"Hmm, I see. Can the tricycle, drones, and such maintain normal operation in an environment of how many degrees below zero?"

"Master, even if the temperature drops to minus one hundred degrees, the tricycle can still maintain normal operation. The drones might have some small problems in an environment of minus seventy degrees."

Qin Yun nodded. It seemed that after consuming energy for fusion, the drones had undergone some changes.

Then, he took out the car air conditioner he had exchanged for through the trading market not long ago.

"Xiao Qi, fuse this air conditioner and keep the comfort level inside the tricycle at all times."

"Received, Xiao Qi will pay attention!"

The car air conditioner fusion was completed, and the temperature inside the tricycle gradually increased.

The temperature outside had dropped to minus fifteen degrees by this time, and it had started to snow heavily!

Goose-feather-like heavy snow!

"Master, rest assured, the tricycle has strong power, and the front of the car has special anti-collision steel plates. Even if the snow accumulation reaches one meter, it will not have much impact!"

"I think monsters might appear after the heavy snow, stay vigilant!"

Qin Yun looked at the several screens on the center console that were divided by Qin Xiaoqi.

drone no. 1 was scouting the way ahead for the tricycle, and drone no. 2 flew to a height of three thousand meters. After discovering that the light screen still existed, it began to return.

...

Time came to 7:30.

Half an hour had passed since the survival mission started, but apart from the temperature dropping rapidly and maintaining at minus thirty degrees, and the heavy snow falling continuously, nothing else was discovered.

The tricycle still maintained a slow speed, driving on the Highway.

Just when Qin Yun couldn't help but want to cultivate, Qin Xiaoqi's voice rang out: "Master, drone no. 1 has discovered a silver treasure chest 1,777 meters ahead!"

Qin Yun perked up and looked at the screen on the center console.

In the image, only a silver treasure chest was lying quietly in the snow, and no other creatures were found around it.

"Xiao Qi, while ensuring there is no skidding, increase the speed of the tricycle and stop when it is thirty meters away from the treasure chest. There might be something hidden in the snow!"

"Okay, Master."

Regardless of whether there was something hidden in the snow, Qin Yun already considered that silver treasure chest his own!

Not only him, but Filia and the others in the carriage, after learning that a silver treasure chest had been found, smiled and already regarded the treasure chest as their harvest!

Discovering a silver treasure chest only half an hour into the mission was undoubtedly a good omen!

They were looking forward to the final harvest after the mission was completed!

At this moment, Qin Yun discovered another important thing.

The countdown on the survivor panel was increasing faster!

"Xiao Qi, during the mission, the faster the vehicle moves forward, the faster the countdown increases!"

All these arrangements were to encourage Survivors to keep moving forward; the faster they moved forward, the more benefits they would get!

Thinking of this, Qin Yun continued: "We cannot take our time anymore. I have a premonition that during the survival mission, the distance the vehicle moves forward will affect the mission point calculation after completing the mission!"

"Master is right, Xiao Qi has also calculated such a result!"

"Meow!"

Cat Xiaoxiao meowed, indicating that she, who was becoming smarter and smarter, had also thought of this point!

Filia and the others in the carriage nodded in agreement and also expressed one after another that they supported any decision of Master Vehicle Owner!

Soon, the tricycle drove to a place two hundred meters away from the silver treasure chest.

To prevent skidding and being unable to brake the car, Qin Xiaoqi began to reduce the speed.

"Xiao Qi, open the window a little."

The window opened, and a small box of steel nails with non-marking double-sided tape flew to the front cover of the tricycle and fixed itself.

The tricycle also stopped at this moment.

Qin Yun did not use the steel nails immediately.

He planned to try first to see if his telekinesis could lift the silver treasure chest!

If it could be lifted, then the wooden treasure chests harvested could...

Telekinesis attached.

The next moment, the silver treasure chest was lifted by telekinesis!

The surrounding snow also bulged into several small bumps at this moment!

With a surprised expression on his face, Qin Yun directly controlled the silver treasure chest and smashed it fiercely toward the bulging small bumps.

"Pop, pop, pop!"

Items appeared out of thin air!

The things hidden in the snow hadn't even appeared yet before they were smashed to pieces by the silver treasure chest!

Immediately, Qin Yun used telekinesis to control the silver treasure chest and plowed the surrounding snow again and again!

The items that burst out flew toward the tricycle one after another!

Qin Yun also concentrated and observed at this time, triggering the Eye of Insight entry on the fat worm corpses in the snow.

Snow Cold-Poison Insect!

As the name suggests, it is a kind of insect with cold poison, thicker than an adult man's fist, but only about twenty centimeters long!

It looked very fat, and it was indeed very fat.

The silver treasure chest even smashed them into pulp directly...

"That kind of insect is called Snow Cold-Poison Insect, a kind of..."

While Qin Yun was speaking, he was also controlling the silver treasure chest to fly toward the tricycle.

The silver treasure chest was different from the wooden treasure chest; it definitely had to be opened, and opened immediately!

Hopefully, it could open a common vehicle blueprint...
