Chapter 1596.2: Incredible Cold
----
The howl of the wind was like the howl of hungry ghosts.
Su Xiao was wrapped up in waterproof clothing from head to toe.
The temperature of minus 105 degrees Celsius was no longer a joke. At this temperature, even steel would become as brittle as glass.
*Knock, knock, knock…*
Hearing a strange sound, Su Xiao bent down and looked at Bubtny's face.
— Bubtny, wear warm clothes if you're cold.
— Woof~, " Bubtny replied, saying that he wasn't cold at all, but there was that sound coming from his mouth again... his teeth were chattering together involuntarily because of the cold.
Bubtney sniffed softly.
In fact, he felt like he had become an ice cream cone.
The further they went, the lower the temperature became.
As they moved deeper into the permafrost zone, the temperature dropped from minus 105 degrees to minus 178.
Hearing the crunching sound, Su Xiao immediately felt a cold wind start to blow over his shoulders.
The hydrogen-nanomicrobial frost-resistant suit froze and began to crack!
The subzero temperature was very different from the plus temperature. The sub-zero temperature became much worse when it exceeded the 150°mark. Staying at this temperature for a short period of time was normal, but for a long stay, one had to have a very strong body.
When the temperature reached minus 273.15 degrees, there was a qualitative change. This mark was called "absolute zero". At this temperature the motion of the molecules completely stopped and they passed into a static state.
Given the rate of temperature drop, if they continue to go deeper into the permafrost, the temperature is likely to fall below the minus 200 degree mark..
— Woof~, "Bubtny exclaimed softly, clearly wanting to say," Master, quickly get me some warm clothes, it's too cold in here, I won't pretend anymore».
— It's too late, " Su Xiao replied and tapped on his long, warm winter jacket.
With a crunch, it was covered with cracks, then broke into pieces.
Due to prolonged exposure to abnormally low temperatures and wild winds, this ordinary jacket simply flew apart.
A thumping sound started coming from Bubtney's mouth. After a while, Su Xiao gritted his teeth. If he didn't, his teeth would also start chattering.
Not far from Su Xiao and Bubtni, Amu was calmly chewing on an animal's leg. The texture of that leg was like a cookie mixed with soda, and it also managed to crunch pleasantly on his teeth.
Looking at Ama, it would seem that he was not in the middle of an extremely cold region right now, but somewhere warm...
— Amu, aren't you cold? Su Xiao asked as he pulled the collar of Wild Hunt Night tighter, causing Amu to look at him blankly.
— I'm not cold, but what is cold?
— …
— …
Su Xiao and Bubtney didn't say anything.
Then they were walking on their own feet or paws, trying to ignore the temperature and the wild wind. Su Xiao could no longer move around on top of the Bubtni, as he was currently using all his strength to maintain the heat in his body, and if Su Xiao's weight was added to the load, the Bubtni would eventually not be able to withstand such a load.
Three hours later, the temperature reached minus 225 degrees Celsius.
Su Xiao could feel the bone-chilling cold, and Bubtny was actively running around in circles, trying to get some warmth.
*Boom!*
An alchemy bomb exploded in front of them.
Su Xiao and Bubtney immediately rushed to the scene of the explosion, but... the flame died out faster than they could reach it.
— We're almost there, " Su Xiao said as he brushed the snow off his head.
It was exactly as Mo Nora had said.
The Land of Death was on an iceberg, and this iceberg was already not far away from them.
Soon, an iceberg appeared in front of them. It was hard to miss because it was too tall and was estimated to be several thousand meters high, and it was too long, at least from their current vantage point, one couldn't see the end and end of it.
After walking to the foot of the iceberg, Su Xiao took a look at the temperature measuring device and immediately threw it away.
It completely failed at minus 235 degrees.
Looking at the iceberg, Su Xiao exhaled.
The muscles on his arms bulged and in the next moment his five fingers crunched into the hard ice.
Almost immediately after, Su Xiao's body temperature dropped dramatically, and a layer of ice appeared on his skin.
— Bubtny, wait here and don't stop moving. If this guy comes here, try not to let him climb up.
— Woof! " said Bubtney, and started.
Amu grabbed the rope that was hanging from Su Xiao's waist and climbed up with him.
Right now, Amu was the strongest of the three, not affected at all by this low temperature.
*Click-click...*
Su Xiao gradually climbed onto the iceberg, exhaling white air.
The tingling sensation of my fingers touching the ice was especially pronounced at this moment. He couldn't go up quickly because the higher he went, the lower the temperature became. If it were to gain altitude quickly, it would most likely get frostbite from the sudden drop in temperature, or even turn into a block of ice, fall off the iceberg and break into pieces.
