Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 232 The Frozen Heart
Under Chen Xuan's feet was a building whose exact height was unknown. With the light of the fluorescent sticks, he could barely see the top of the building.

There are still several broken standing signs on the roof. At this time, these standing signs are almost covered by algae, and the word "square" can be vaguely distinguished through the dark green seaweed.

The exterior wall of the building can no longer see its original color, and it is also occupied by dark green seaweed.

However, judging from the outline, the area of ​​the building should be very wide, which is not like the Times Building seen in Jinzhou City before.

Moreover, the building in front of me is not like the Times Building, which has many glass curtain walls as decoration, and is almost completely surrounded by walls.

Judging from the appearance, this should be a commercial building, or a commercial building of an old chain.

It seems ordinary, but the source of all these abnormal phenomena should be in this building.

In addition, Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced around, and found that the surrounding area was pitch-black, neither any living things nor traces of Hanyuzao could be seen.

The cold jade algae didn't know whether it was because it didn't grow, or the grown plants shrank behind.

But it is a bit strange that there is not a single creature in this sea area.

All the answers are inside the building.

The sea water here is no different from normal sea water, and the heavy bearskin suit is too bulky, so it is better to change into a diving suit to reduce some resistance and speed up the efficiency.

With a thought in Chen Xuan's mind, the thick bearskin suit on his body instantly transformed into a tight black diving suit.

And he also felt a burst of relief, as if a mountain that had been carried on his body for a long time was lifted.

Chen Xuan continued to direct Bao Bao to swim towards the building, but Bao Bao seemed a little afraid of the building in front of him, and refused to go any further.

There was no other way, Chen Xuan had no choice but to leave Bao Bao outside.

That's fine, anyway, after entering the building for a while, some passages may be relatively narrow, and Bao Bao's size is not very convenient to move around inside.

Chen Xuan swam along the seaweed-covered outer wall for a while, looking for the entrance.

After a while, he finally found a window, which was covered by seaweed like spider webs. If it wasn't for Chen Xuan's sharp eyes, he would have easily missed it.

The windows were all broken due to the water pressure, which saved him the trouble of breaking the windows. After all, this place is more than 600 meters away from the sea, and the water pressure is already quite terrifying.

Pushing aside the thick seaweed, Chen Xuan entered the building through the broken window and reached the top floor of the building.

The space here is very open, it seems to be a huge hall, and some embedded tables and chairs can be seen on the ground.

There is a row of long tables in the distance, like the front desk.

There are also a number of strange vertical metal cabinets, with a layer of display screens, and what seems to be an area for scanning codes, which is a bit like a self-service machine.

What is it for?
It looked very familiar, but Chen Xuan couldn't remember it for a while.

But this is not important, the main purpose of coming here this time is to find the source of the warm sea area.

Chen Xuan started a blanket search for this.

It takes a lot of time to do this, and he wouldn't do it if it was an ordinary thing, but it's worth it right now.

Continuing to grope along the wall, Chen Xuan found a room with the door open. After entering, he found that it was another huge hall.

Looking at the huge screen on the wall in front of me, and the rows of seats...

Chen Xuan suddenly reacted.

No wonder everything always has a feeling of deja vu, isn't this a movie theater?

I went, I haven't watched a movie for so long, I forgot what the director of the movie is like.

In fact, before the end of the world, Chen Xuan rarely went to the cinema, that is, a few brothers in the university and dormitory went there once.

Only once, and then everyone never thought about watching a movie again.

For a group of senior nerds, going to an Internet cafe is indeed a good place to go out for entertainment.

Besides, the decline of the film industry is not a matter of a day or two, and it has been a long time since any good-looking movies have been made.

Every time he came back, Chen Xuan only remembered that the seat was soft and comfortable to sleep on.

The movie seats in front of me have been soaked to the point of deformity, and the cloth covers wrapped around the seats are also in tatters.

However, Chen Xuan slowly swam to the seat and flipped a seat down.

Due to the rust on the joints, the chair made a harsh "creak" sound during the turning process, as if it would break due to overwhelm at any time.

Then, Chen Xuan sat up.

Looking at the pitch-black screen in front of him, he imagined in his mind that there were countless pictures floating on it, as if the five brothers from back then were sitting on the left and right.

However, there is nothing around, only countless floating seaweeds.

He finally experienced the feeling of watching a movie again.

I don't know why, but suddenly I feel a little emotional.

Chen Xuan shook his head, restrained his emotions for a while, then got up and continued to collect in other places.

And half an hour later, he had checked the entire movie theater inside and out, but found nothing unusual.

However, a lot of materials have been harvested, and more than 100 units of wood have been obtained.

There are also some other resources that cannot be directly collected into the material space, and need to be calcined, such as glass and metal.

He planned to collect it after finding the source of this warm sea.

With so many materials, Chen Xuan definitely didn't intend to give up.

It is rare to come across a place that is not frozen, and it is still a building. There are too many things that can be used.

In particular, if the "Kunpeng" wants to advance again, it needs a lot of glass and metal, and there are as many of these things as there are in the building in front of us.

It's just that the amount of work is naturally not small, and it needs to be done slowly later.

Chen Xuan came to the next floor through the safe passage he found.

According to the experience of shopping malls in the past, there should be many restaurants on this floor.

But when he entered, he found that there were too many sundries on this floor, more than what he saw in the Times Building.

The field of vision is full of various dense floating objects, most of which are covered with a layer of dark green seaweed.

Some can also be distinguished from the appearance, it should be something like tables and chairs, while others cannot.

Chen Xuan felt like he had come to a garbage dump.

Are there so many things on the second floor?

Is this floor a warehouse or a commercial building?
Could it be that the memory is wrong.

Flipping the sundries in his hands, Chen Xuan was puzzled.

As for the wooden materials, Chen Xuan would easily put them into the material space. He basically has no shortage of wood now, and there are hundreds of units of wood accumulated in the space that are useless, but the more materials, the better.

And cleaning up the garbage can reduce some obstacles in the field of vision.

Searching along the wall, a gap suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xuan, like a huge abyss.

Unlike the closed structure of office floors, many commercial buildings are not completely closed. In order to place escalators, there will be a huge open space from the bottom to the roof.

No wonder there are so many sundries, they must all come up from the floors below.

At this moment, there is a slight light shining in the depths of this abyss.

Chen Xuan has a strong intuition.

I'm afraid this shining thing is the source of what he's looking for.

He immediately moved towards the light.

Gradually, a very huge spherical object appeared in front of Chen Xuan's eyes.

The whole body of the sphere in front of him was light blue, and almost half of the sphere was buried in the ground, with a diameter of nearly 3 meters.

It can be seen that the surface of the sphere is covered with countless dense dark blue dots, and a huge aperture is shrouded on the outside, which looks very dreamy.

And this spherical object is constantly shining with light, as if it seems to be alive.

In addition, when Chen Xuan approached the aperture, he just felt refreshed, as if he had eaten ten catties of polar krill at a time.

What the hell is this?
Facing the object in front of him, Chen Xuan activated the "Movable Type Illustrated Book Module".

------

Name: Frozen Heart

Type: biological

Features: Frozen Heart is a very rare and special creature, its growth is very accidental, and it is mutated from cold jade algae.

During the growth process, the Frozen Heart will absorb the nearby mutated energy and frost energy, forming a thick ice shell, and its growth process is also very slow.

The frozen seed is bred in the frozen heart, which can be eaten and is of great benefit to spiritual power.

But please note that when the Frozen Heart is attacked by external forces, it will instantly release terrifying frost energy and wither everything.

------

Unexpectedly, this long and strangely shaped thing is actually a living thing.

So, the reason why this sea area becomes warmer is all because the frozen heart in front of him has absorbed the frost energy from the nearby sea area?
Thinking about it this way, the lack of creatures around should also be due to the Frozen Heart.

After all, the creatures that can survive in the nearby ice sea are more or less dependent on the environment, just like the polar krill and polar whitebait I saw before.

If those creatures were near the Frozen Heart, part of the frost energy in their bodies might be sucked away.

Even a species with such strong adaptability as Leopard Treasure would not dare to get close to the Frozen Heart, and only dared to move around.

But what interested Chen Xuan the most was the mention in the system description that the frozen heart is good for the spirit.

No wonder, he felt refreshed for a while.

This is really a treasure!

Just getting close has such an effect, but if it is the seed of ice, what kind of effect will it have?

I'm afraid it will let him directly enter the third level [spirit]?
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's heart became hot.

After waiting for so long, finally [Spirit] can also get a breakthrough, what a surprise.

You must know that [spirit] is most closely related to the modules of these systems, and the strengthening of [spirit] can definitely increase the power of the system to a higher level.

He almost couldn't wait to break open the ice shell and take away the frozen heart.

But the question is, how can he overcome the frost energy released by the frozen heart?

Another point to consider is that even if he can really take away the frozen seed, it may cause the surrounding cold air to spread rapidly towards this sea area.

By then, everything will be frozen.

Then those materials in the building cannot be collected.

Due to various considerations, Chen Xuan did not plan to do that for the time being.

He planned to collect as much material as possible first, and then figured out how to take out the frozen seed safely.

But of course, it is not realistic to want to completely vacate the building.

And time is also limited.

Although, he can now be self-sufficient by farming, but who let him raise Leopard Bao?
This is a carnivore.

Although Leopard Bao has learned to swim, he has not seen this lazy little fat man go into the sea to hunt for food so far.

Chen Xuan calculated the fish and shrimp in the cabin, and according to Baobao's food intake, it should be able to last another seven or eight days.

But it is impossible to really stay here until the food is finished, after all, who knows when the next time they will find fish in the shallow sea.

Just in case, he decided to stay here for three days to collect materials.

Chen Xuan quickly started to act.

The materials that need to be collected the most are of course various metal parts, and there is still a large gap for "metal".

Whether it is activating modules or upgrading ships, a large amount of metal is inseparable.

Since the system has been upgraded once, the upper limit of the items he can collect has now doubled. Originally, he could only collect metal parts the size of a computer at a time, but now he can almost store a small table.

And if necessary, he can also use the crab claws to cut larger metal parts, but this will also cause certain damage to the crab claws and consume a lot of mental power.

All the metal stools and metal frames that can be seen in the line of sight... as long as they can be moved, Chen Xuan will remove them all.

He doesn't care about small pieces, and only chooses larger metal parts.

And Hanyu Net has become the best container.

For the next three days, Chen Xuan kept going back and forth between the commercial building and the "Kunpeng".

Every time a net of metal parts is filled, he will first return to the "Kunpeng" for smelting.

After three days, he almost emptied the two floors.

In the end, he obtained a total of 563 units of metal. If it weren't for a lot of time spent on the way back and forth, this number could at least triple.

In addition, there are 1365 units of "timber". Although Chen Xuan did not deliberately collect wood, but just picked up some broken pieces of wood in sight, but because of the convenience of collecting, it became the most collected material.

Chen Xuan originally wanted to collect some glass, because "glass" is also one of the essential materials to activate the technology behind it.

However, "glass" is the same as "metal", it needs to be calcined before it can be obtained, and the most direct way to obtain glass in the building is through those windows.

Sadly, most of the windows were shattered into numerous large and small pieces due to the horrific water pressure.

It was Chen Xuan who painstakingly selected the relatively large pieces, and finally obtained 45 units of glass.

The material has been collected so far.

Next, what should be done to take away the frozen seed?
