Chapter 5 — The Sun Of The Base

Lam Du knelt to the ground, rolling in pain. Her normally white skin was now as red as boiled shrimp, each blood vessel bulging out, appearing a scary purple-red color. She squeezed her neck tightly, as if trying to extinguish the fire in her body. I was still kneeling in the corner, wrapping my torn cotton shirt tightly around my body. I felt the pieces of ice in my body gradually melting, the coldness finally being slightly dissipated by the heat wave spreading around me. I raised my head to look at the woman writhing and struggling under the stage lights, the corner of my lips curling up into a cold smile. Lam Du, this is just the beginning. In this life, I will let you taste the feeling of being "smothered to death" by warmth.

"Quick! Call the doctor! The lady has fainted!"

In the chaos, Lam Du finally could not stand the shock of high temperature, his eyes went white, foaming at the mouth and fainted. Lam Du was immediately taken urgently to the core medical room. The base station chief – Lam Chan Thien – came personally. He looked at his daughter rolling around on the ice bed, constantly scratching her skin, her face dark and scary.

“Doctor, what happened?”

The medical team leader's head was covered in sweat, his hand holding the report was trembling.

“Reporting to the station chief… the lady's body temperature… has reached 45 degrees.”

"Nonsense! People are already ripe at 45 degrees!" Lam Chan Thien roared.

“The strange thing is here.”

The doctor's voice trembled.

“Her cells have extremely high activity, like there is an endless source of heat pouring in. If she doesn't cool down... she will spontaneously combust.”

At this time, Tran Diem huddled at the door, trembling. Lam Chan Thien suddenly turned his head, his eyes like a wolf.

“You were the one who followed it closest. Say, what happened?”

Tran Diem "thumped" and knelt down.

"It's... it's that An An! Last night, Miss forced her to drink a whole bucket of high-energy nutritional liquid!"

Lam Chan Thien frowned.

“Where is An An?”

“In… on the bottom floor… I'm about to freeze to death.”

Lam Chan Thien walked quickly towards the cell. I was dragged by two soldiers like a dead dog's body in front of him. At this time, my body temperature was only 25 degrees, and I had entered a state of pseudo-death. That's the result of me deliberately using a piece of extremely cold tape to press down.

“Make her wake up.” Lam Chan Thien said coldly.

A bucket of water mixed with crushed ice was thrown straight at my face. I had difficulty opening my eyes, my vision was blurry and I looked towards Lam Chan Thien.

“Station Chief… Du Du… Du Du… save me…”

I held out my pale hand. Lam Chan Thien squatted down and grabbed my wrist. He immediately let go.

"It's so cold! You drink high-energy nutritional liquid, but your body temperature drops?"

I cried without a sound.

"I... I'm probably about to die. In my body... there's a black hole... that can't hold anything..."

A ray of starlight flashed in Lam Chan Thien's eyes. He turned around and ordered his subordinates:

“Take her to the infirmary, place her next to Du Du.”

“I want to see if... this black hole can absorb Du Du's heat.”

Lam Du and I were placed on two parallel hospital beds. In the middle is a thick layer of transparent glass. On Lam Du's side, four high-powered cooling fans were blowing madly at her. Her body was covered with thick rubble, but within a few seconds it melted into water.

“An An… An An save me…”

Lam Du saw me, as if he had grabbed the last straw to save his life. She's crazy furiously banging on the glass.

“Suck it up! Quickly suck out all the heat!”

I looked at her weakly, placing my hand on the glass.

“Du Du… I'm so cold… I can't reach you…”

Lam Chan Thien stood in the observation room, staring at the data board.

“Connect.” he ordered.

A trembling nurse attached a custom-made heat tube to our arm. But that's just a disguise. The real connection... lies in the system in Lam Du's body. My "low body temperature" detection system immediately went crazy.

“Detect extremely cold target, initiate energy transfer—”

Lam Du let out a miserable scream. She felt the heat flowing out of her body. But… Three thousand people, the heat is constant. If my side absorbs a part, the three thousand refugees at the bottom of the shelter will simultaneously generate new heat to compensate. Even… Because I added the “catalyst”, this shift exploded exponentially.

“Aaaa!!!”

Lam Du held his head. Because her body temperature fluctuated violently in an instant, blood began to spurt out from her nostrils.

“Too many… no more needed… the system has failed!”

I felt a warm stream coming through the pipeline. But the extremely cold pieces of ice in my body have not yet melted away. I'm still like a bottomless pit.

“Increase the dose.”

Lam Chan Thien coldly ordered through the radio.

"Inject an awakening drug to that An An, don't let it die. If it dies, Du Du will explode."
