Chapter 167: The Gate to Heaven (2)

Chu Zihang nodded slightly. If they came in winter, they might be able to gain something. But if they came now, the gain might not be much.

"How is the investigation into the prince's case going?" he asked Xia Mi.

"I can't find it. Although I'm smart, I basically can't do anything that Kassel Academy can't do." Xia Mi shook her head.

"What about the recruitment of subordinates?"

"I have already won over a few people with potential, but it is still a long way to go before I can make any progress under my command."

"..."

The two chatted idly until night fell.

The stars in the night sky are very bright, and any photo you take with your mobile phone will be very beautiful.

Everyone else went back to sleep, but Lu Mingfei couldn't sleep. He seemed to have endless energy. He was excited and not sleepy at all, so he ran to the deck to look at the moon.

Looking at the brilliant Milky Way in the sky, Lu Mingfei felt empty inside. Sometimes when he was alone at night, he would feel this way, inexplicably sad.

"What are you doing here instead of sleeping?" A non-commissioned officer on the warship came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Can't sleep."

"Oh, are you just thinking about something?" The sergeant seemed to be very experienced in this and looked like a veteran.

In fact, it is normal to have experience. Mixed-bloods will have blood sorrow. Their navy often wanders on the sea for 10 days or half a month. Apart from the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, they may never see other people. Naturally, they will feel lonely.

Lu Mingfei said: "Maybe. Sometimes I do have random thoughts."

"You are still young. How old are you?" the sergeant asked him.

"18 years old." Lu Mingfei replied.

"So you just entered college? It seems that your tutor thinks highly of you and takes you as a student to do scientific research." The sergeant took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said that he didn't smoke.

“It is indeed more important.”

Lu Mingfei is an S-level student at Kassel Academy, enjoying various student privileges. Of course, he has to be on the front line when something happens.

"College life is pretty good, and the external pressure is not that great. But when people have free time, they have more thoughts in their minds." The sergeant exhaled a long cigarette from his mouth. For this temporary loneliness, it would be nice to chat with the other party more to relieve the boredom.

Anyway, he is idle when he is idle.

As the two chatted, Lu Mingfei learned the name of the petty officer, Sam Joyce, who was also a college student and graduated from the Royal Naval College of the United Kingdom.

The two of them got along very well. Sam was a typical optimist, and Lu Mingfei was good at talking nonsense. They chatted until dawn.

Sam completed his night duty and prepared to go back to sleep. Lu Mingfei also felt a little sleepy.

The two men walked towards the hatch, but at this moment a soldier suddenly ran over to report to Sam: "All communications are cut off, the compass and theodolite are out of service, and we can't even determine our current location!"

"what?"

Sam was a little surprised and took out his cell phone to take a look.

Sure enough, all satellite signals were cut off.

"Check quickly, what is the reason!"

It is a terrifying thing to have all communications cut off in the vast ocean, even if they are warships and have no shortage of supplies on board.

It’s not that they are worried about their own safety, but mainly because they cannot receive information from the land and don’t know if anything big has happened on land.

For example... World War III has already broken out on land?

Because of the communication interruption, the people on the ship became busy, some were looking at the electronic instruments, and some were looking at the external environment.

Lu Mingfei also ran back to the deck to check the situation outside. The temperature on the sea seemed to have dropped a lot. Lu Mingfei tightened his clothes and felt a little strange.

He didn't feel any cold all night, so why did it get colder when it was almost dawn?

This is not winter. There will be a cold current coming from the Arctic.

"aurora!"

Suddenly someone pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

The light green aurora in the sky is like a winding and soft ribbon, so it is also called "God's skirt" by the Nordic people.

"It turned out to be the Aurora!" Sam breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of the aurora will bring about ionization, leading to communication interruption and so on.

The chances of lasers appearing in July of the year are smaller, but not impossible.

"But... this ionization phenomenon is too strong, isn't it?" he muttered.

The more brilliant and deeper the color of the aurora is, the stronger the ionization in the atmosphere is. According to his own experience, this light green aurora can interrupt satellite signals, but it is not enough to cause compasses, theodolites and other instruments to fail.

The people on the boat felt relieved, and the temperature outside dropped a few degrees.

Chu Zihang, who had just become the Dragon King, was not used to it yet, but Xia Mi, who had been the Dragon King for thousands of years, smelled something wrong at the first moment.

She walked onto the deck, feeling the rapidly dropping temperature with a serious expression.

Not only her, there were several people who realized that something was wrong and they all ran onto the deck.

"The temperature is fucking wrong! After the aurora appeared, the temperature dropped so fast that it can be seen with the naked eye." Ange said, "Let our people prepare for battle!"

Flamel, who was beside him, looked at another warship in the distance and said, "What about the people on the other ship? What should we do?"

All means of communication failed. They reacted, but did the people on the other warship react?

"It's totally irrelevant now."

It is true that the visibility at sea is very good, but it is also true that the distance can be easily distanced. It is already very good that they can still see the warship.

The people from Kassel College started moving, and the soldiers on the warship also started moving inexplicably.

Although, the weather is a bit unusual with both the aurora and the sudden drop in temperature, but what are you doing with guns?
Are you planning to knock down the aurora in the sky? Or are you planning to punish Poseidon, who rules the ocean?
"Lu Mingfei, what happened?" Sam, with bloodshot and red eyes, asked Lu Mingfei in a dazed voice.

Upon learning that the communication interruption was caused by the aurora, he heaved a sigh of relief and just as he lay down and closed his eyes, he was immediately awakened by his men as he fell asleep.

"Something may have gone wrong." Lu Mingfei couldn't explain it to him in too much detail, so he could only ask him to prepare for battle.

Ready for battle?

Sam didn't quite understand, but he could only hold the pistol tightly in his arms.

The temperature dropped incredibly fast. There was no snow in the sky, but the sea surface began to freeze. "We have to get out of here!"

Some people looked at the ice on the sea with fear and trepidation.

Their ship is a warship, not an icebreaker. In this abnormal weather, if the ice is thicker, they may not be able to leave even if they want to.

"You can't run away, it's coming." Ange took small sips of his cigar and shook his head gently.

"It? Who is it?"

The captain of the warship was a little confused. He only knew that the current situation was quite dangerous and they should stay away from here.

"You'll know when it comes." Ange straightened his collar. He looked neatly dressed, like a soldier sorting out his equipment before going to the battlefield.

"I think we'd better leave here." The captain thought that he was still so young and the British Empire still needed him to shine.

After finishing the level, Ange walked out and left him a message: "You can't leave. Haven't you noticed that our ship has been slowly rising? In less than an hour, the thickness of the ice here will exceed one meter."

The wind on the sea surface is already very strong, and after the temperature in this area dropped, it was even more like a blade, scraping against people's faces and causing pain.

Lu Mingfei was on the deck, looking at the other people from Kassel Academy who had expressionless and serious faces, and he cursed in his heart.

You are all genuine mixed-bloods with strong physical fitness. You are noble and amazing. I am the only ordinary person among you, and I have to be stabbed along with you.

Even a thick coat cannot completely keep out this cold. The cold wind is like fine needles, penetrating into people's clothes and taking away the body temperature that was originally blocked by the clothes.

The ice field is indeed beautiful, but it would be better if I didn’t have to suffer the cold here.

Lu Mingfei looked at the frozen ice on the vast sea with a sense of despair.

The thick ice can block warships, but it cannot stop the huge iceberg. It drifts slowly on the sea, and its speed seems to be slower than before, but it is as determined as a warrior, constantly breaking the ice in front of it that blocks it, and taking each step firmly.

The ice field cracked into cracks, and most people's attention was focused on observing the icebergs. When someone paid attention to the north, there was still nothing on the ice field in the north, but the reflection under the ice projected a forest.

Chu Zihang's eyelids twitched violently.

Nibelungen!

Odin's Nibelung!
They have been here for so long, and it has been preparing for so long, and finally it is willing to come out!
Others also discovered the reflection hanging upside down under the ice.

The soldiers on the ship were still wondering why there were so many strange things today, the aurora, the abnormal weather, and now a mirage.

I hope there won’t be a big iceberg that sinks their ship directly.

"The ice is thick enough for people to walk up and take a look."

Anger drove people towards the reflection.

"What about us?"

The captain asked Vice-Principal Flamel, who remained on board.

Even if he was stupid, he could tell that something was wrong, but he didn't know how serious it was.

However, he vaguely knew that his position as a staunch materialist fighter seemed to be shaky.

"Just guard the boat."

Flamel frowned. The sea was so frozen that the warship couldn't move forward, and the hydrogen bomb on the ship would have a hard time getting across.

However, he still called people to go to the ammunition depot and move out the hydrogen bomb that looked like a conventional missile head.

The reason why Ange and he came a day late was to modify this thing so that he would not be so conspicuous.

The ship on the Pompeii side also discovered that something was wrong, but they did not see the reflection of the ice field. They just carefully stayed on the ship to prevent any accidents.

"Is everything okay over there?" Pompeii muttered softly, and looked at the black spot that seemed to be at the end of the ice field in the distance.

In fact, if they were to step across the ice field now, they could run over it, but to be cautious, they did not run around.

According to research by Kassel Academy, dragons can easily interfere with people's minds. Once we leave the ship, who knows if the ice field below is real?

You might not even know when you step into the sea and sink to the bottom of the ocean a thousand meters below.

Ange and his friends jumped over the ice gap and ran on the smooth ice. If they were not mixed-bloods with good balance and coordination, they would have fallen many times.

But... Lu Mingfei is not an ordinary hybrid!

He ran on the ice in a very awkward manner and almost fell down several times.

He thought he should stay on the boat instead of running on the ice.

Xia Mi jumped across an ice gap beside him and said to him, "Hurry up, you're running too slowly!"

Lu Mingfei: Aba Aba!

Doesn't he want to run faster? But his strength doesn't allow it!

He fell behind after running for a while, but no one paid attention to his miserable appearance. Everyone turned their eyes to the floating figure in the water.

The huge iceberg cleared the way like an icebreaker, leaving a large and wide mark of water in its channel, even before the sea surface had time to freeze.

The reflection of the sea water shows a strange shape like the ancient Roman Colosseum. The black rock walls surrounding the island, even the towering trees in the center of the island and the caves on the rock walls where the coffins are placed are vaguely visible!
The island is so bright, magnificent and sacred, like a kingdom built by some god, guiding people's souls to heaven.

Ange didn't believe that the reflection in the water was really the kingdom of God, otherwise Odin's followers should be all over the world, and his fanatical followers should be everywhere.

The reason why Norse mythology glorifies Odin is that it is very likely that Odin wrote Norse mythology! How could he not glorify his own image?

Before Ange could say anything, Chu Zihang dived into the water without hesitation, not afraid of the cold sea water or the unfathomable depth of the ocean.

He jumped into the water, but there was not a splash on the surface, as if it was not a water surface but a doorway.

But once someone entered the door, no trace of them could be seen outside the door.

Mysterious and frightening, people's fear comes from the unknown. They don't know what is under the water. If it is the Nibelung, what is waiting for them inside?

Are they the heroic spirits that Odin has collected over thousands of years? Or are they thousands of troops waiting in anticipation?

After Zhang Baiqing and Xia Mi arrived, they followed Chu Zihang and jumped in without hesitation. After swallowing three living people, there was still no ripple on the water surface, and the kingdom of God in the reflection was still sacred.

The three of them jumped without hesitation, which surprised the people behind them, and they all looked at Principal Angers.

"Get into the water!"

After Ange finished speaking, he jumped into the sea without hesitation. He held the folding knife tightly in his hand, fearing that he would let go after jumping into the sea.

The people from Kassel Academy jumped into the water one after another like throwing dumplings. When Lu Mingfei arrived breathlessly, there was no one in front of him. However, behind him, Vice President Flamel and his men were carrying large warheads and walking carefully on the ice field.
