"Dangerous?"
Speaking of which, Ye Feng remembered the scene today when Xiao Xiao felt danger and was pushed away by him.
"Could it be that Xiao Xiao was infected with the Ice Gu at that time!"
Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly.
The system had previously told him that the incubation period for the Ice Gu was generally 7-14 days from infection to onset, and in cold conditions, the time would be extended...
But Xiao Xiao should have been infected around noon today, how could she...
"Ye Feng, what's wrong?" Ling asked, seeing Ye Feng's expression change.
"Xiao Xiao, she might have been infected around noon today..."
Ye Feng explained the situation at noon to Ling.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Ling's willow-shaped eyebrows also furrowed tightly, "This is the first time I've heard of someone infected with the Ice Gu developing symptoms in half a day. Could it be that this isn't ordinary Ice Gu?"
"Ye Feng, do you feel any discomfort?"
Finally, Ling looked at Ye Feng and asked with concern.
"No, I feel great, no cold sensations at all~"
Ye Feng naturally knew what she meant and answered immediately.
"This... alright then~"
Ling had wanted to examine Ye Feng, but with the Ice Gu, unless they had a microscope from the old world, they could only judge by the host's symptoms.
But Ye Feng showed no signs of being afraid of the cold, even wearing only a long-sleeved hoodie...
"Ye Feng, your control over power and accuracy is truly extraordinary!"
"That Tang knife you drew just now, it scared me half to death!"
At this moment, Lei Jian, who was over 1.8 meters tall and had a buzz cut, walked over.
He had witnessed Ye Feng cut Wang Wangwang's mecha in half with that Tang knife in the adventurer's guild hall of Shuangyu Town before...
Old Man Liu also walked over and nodded at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded slightly at the two and greeted them.
Xiao Xiao, due to excessive blood loss, was drowsy after drinking glucose. Ye Feng went to organize her cold-proof clothing, quilts, and adjusted the heater...
...
Not far away, in the bar rest area of the Caiqi Supply Station,
"Uncle Liu, you don't object to me rashly taking out the fire-attribute arcane nguyên thạch just now?"
Ling glanced at Ye Feng, feeling a little guilty.
"No, Ling, you did very well!"
To Ling's surprise, Old Man Liu did not scold her at all, but instead agreed with her.
"Ling, for mysterious powerhouses like Ye Feng, even if we can't be friends, we must never push him to our opposition. It's best if we can befriend him!"
"You did very well just now!"
"Even if some scoundrels target us because of the fire-attribute arcane nguyên thạch, we'll deal with them when the time comes!"
Under Ling's puzzled gaze, Old Man Liu continued to speak to Ling with a smile.
...
After Xiao Xiao fell asleep, Ye Feng walked towards the bar where Ling and the others were.
"Hey, have you heard? There's a haunted house in the Frozen Snowfield recently?"
"Haunted house? What haunted house?"
"I saw it last night. It was on the road leading to this supply station. Late at night, it was emitting blood-red light, and there were sounds of ghosts crying. It was terrifying!"
"Real or fake? You weren't frozen last night and had hallucinations?"
"It's real. I was there too... it was a small wooden cabin..."
"And me! The ghost was singing 'A Song of Encounter' and then came to catch us!"
"That's right, luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would have been finished!"
...
"These people... haunted house... small wooden cabin... ghost?"
Listening to the discussion of a group of adventurers, Ye Feng was speechless.
The small wooden cabin where he and Xiao Xiao camped last night was actually mistaken for a haunted house... Xiao Xiao's singing was mistaken for a ghost's voice...
However, the red light at that time was indeed not good...
"Buddy, you didn't happen to see the haunted house last night too, did you?"
At this moment, the young man who had been chatting happily with Ye Feng walked over.
"I was living in the haunted house last night~"
Ye Feng replied lazily.
The young man rolled his eyes at Ye Feng and walked towards the bar on his own, clearly not taking it seriously.
"No one believes the truth~"
Ye Feng muttered and also walked to the bar, sitting next to the young man.
"Buddy, what do you want to drink? My treat~"
The young man seemed to be in a good mood and said to Ye Feng.
"Let me treat!"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and two bottles of white wine immediately appeared on the bar.
"Ling, why don't you join us for a drink? White wine is hot and pungent, it can relax blood vessels and speed up blood circulation, which is quite suitable for warming the body in winter~"
Ye Feng called out to Ling and then opened the caps of the white wine bottles.
"Ling, let me introduce you, this is..."
Ye Feng stopped midway with some embarrassment because he didn't know the young man's name.
When they were chatting happily before, Ye Feng had asked, but the other party said that in this doomsday, why bother to know each other.
Ye Feng thought it made sense and didn't care about the name...
And the young man also didn't know Ye Feng's name because of this!
"Oh, my name is Chen Jindong~ Call me Ajin~"
The young man immediately understood and introduced himself to Ye Feng.
"Ling, this is Ajin. Ajin, this is Ling, and this is Old Man Liu..."
Ye Feng quickly introduced the others.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!~"
...
Ling and the other two also greeted the young man, but none of them called him Ajin. It was obvious to everyone that he was referring to Ajin for Ye Feng.
"Come!~"
Soon, Ye Feng poured a small bowl for each of them and started drinking.
Of course, Chen Jindong, Ling, and the others also took out some snacks such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, chili peppers, and dried meat to go with the wine.
"The aroma is long-lasting, the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is clean. Good wine!"
After taking a sip of the white wine provided by Ye Feng, Chen Jindong exclaimed with admiration.
"Hmm? Ajin, what's with the photo in your hand?"
While drinking, Ye Feng's attention was drawn to a black and white photo in Chen Jindong's hand.
"Photo? Oh, this. This photo is of a famous exploration team nearby. They've been exploring this Frozen Snowfield for seven or eight years!"
"But they suddenly disappeared a few days ago. Their friends and family are all looking for them and have offered a reward!"
"What, have you seen them?"
Because of the white wine, Chen Jindong's face was flushed red.
"This... I think they might already be dead..."
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng mentioned the bodies he found today.
Although it was a black and white photo, the features and equipment of the people in the photo were relatively clear.
After careful observation, Ye Feng recognized that several of them were among the pile of dismembered bodies found today...
"Alas!~"
Chen Jindong sighed, but his heart was not too disturbed.
After all, in this doomsday, such things were very normal...
"By the way, Ajin, what's the situation with what you just said about knowing the location of the arcane nguyên thạch?"
At this moment, Ye Feng spoke again.
Various signs indicated that the arcane nguyên thạch was very important and might have various uses that he was not yet aware of.
Therefore, Ye Feng planned to get more of them to be prepared for any eventuality!
"This... Ye Feng, you..."
Chen Jindong hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Ye Feng's ear and whispered.
Finally, the other party handed Ye Feng a thick notebook filled with Chen Jindong's notes.
...
