For a moment, the injured winter believers looked at the prostrate god with confusion in their eyes.
They are not disloyal.
On the contrary, they fight to the end and are extremely loyal believers.
Even though more than half of them were killed or wounded, they did not escape, which is enough to show their devotion to the gods.
However, when they saw the surrender of their respective gods, their originally firm eyes turned into confusion.
On the side, a frost giant gritted his teeth and said: "Don't even think about it too much, that is the Lord God, how can we question it!"
"The Lord God must have his own reasons!"
With its roar, the confused eyes of some believers became firm again.
But the winter marks are still disappearing one by one, but the speed has become slower.
A flame appeared in the eyes of those believers who had abandoned the gods. Although the flame was not strong, it had already spread among these winter believers!
Faith is gradually collapsing!
at the same time.
Chione's already pale face turned pale again, and even the auras of the other winter gods were slightly disordered.
Believers, to gods, are the anchor of divinity!
They looked down at the believers with complicated expressions.
But this occasion was obviously not one to care about the believers' faith. As Chione confessed his crime, Lin Fan slowly placed the seal of Daxia on the verdict.
"Starting today, Chione and the other gods of winter will officially annex Daxia and make meritorious deeds!"
"Under the leadership of Daxia, you will be responsible for Daxia's material reserves and participate in the battle!"
"Until the end of your sentence!"
Behind him, a God of Winter whispered: "It's only been a thousand years..."
"Just a reminder," Lin Fan said coldly: "This time is God Realm time!"
For a moment, all the winter gods fell into deep thought.
They are calculating a problem.
Can I survive until the end of my sentence...
In the divine world, one day is equal to one month in the human world.
Here comes the question, Chione’s thousand-year sentence...
But after hearing this terrible sentence, Chione's expression did not change at all.
After all, she has been unable to return to the God Realm!
She must stay in Daxia, unless Daxia uproots Zeus, invades the God Realm, and turns the God Realm into the territory of Daxia!
And if that day comes...even if Chione enters the divine realm, it will be completely in line with the sentence!
She looked at this land, this was her new home, this was the new home of the Temple of Winter!
This land is so warm!
She is no longer Chione walking on thin ice. The majestic Great Wall under her feet seems to be so hard that it will not fall for ten thousand years!
"I finally reached the other side."
Chione recalled her words when she first faced the majestic Great Wall and smiled.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, Chionee still walked onto the Great Wall and entered this land!
It turns out that the turning of the gears of fate that I secretly felt was not wrong!
The Winter Temple will still rise on this land!
"Since you agree to join me, Bactria, now, grant Chione and all the gods of winter the identity of Bactria!" Lin Fan waved his hand.
Immediately, a group of warriors stepped forward and opened the shackles on the winter gods.
Immediately, certificates were issued one after another!
That is their identity in Daxia, and that is the ID that every citizen of Daxia has!
That is also the most precious thing for every Daxia citizen!
Of course, in terms of value, it is not precious. Even if it is lost, it can be replaced.
But for foreigners who don’t have these things, this is something that even money can’t buy, and it’s the hardest thing to get in the world!
Chione and the gods of winter looked at the small certificate with excited eyes.
A new life is about to begin!
Lin Fan smiled and said: "With this certificate, you are legal citizens of Daxia and a member of Daxia! You have the protection of Daxia!"
"As long as you hold this certificate, even gods cannot bully you!"
Chione and the gods of winter looked confused!
"What an artifact this is!"
"Even the most powerful artifact, even as powerful as elemental treasures, can't stop the gods from bullying the Winter Temple!"
"Is it possible that these cards are made from elemental treasures?"
No.
This is not an artifact!
This is a document that every citizen of Daxia must have!
Although it is just a small card, behind this card are 140,000,000 patron saints!
At this moment, they finally got rid of the cold world of gods, and they finally became true members of this land!
"But let me remind you." Lin Fan said coldly: "You are no longer gods, but members of the people of Daxia!"
Outside, Daxia will not allow the gods to bully you!
"But inside, Daxia will never allow you to bully other citizens!"
"I know that as gods, you pride yourself on being noble and feel that you are superior."
"But in Daxia, you are just ordinary Daxia citizens, just like me, and like everyone else, you must get along equally and abide by the laws of Daxia!"
If you still feel that you are superior, and even rely on your supernatural power to bully other citizens...
Lin Fan did not continue.
But at this moment, Lin Fan's cold gaze made all the gods of winter feel fear in their hearts!
Chione nodded repeatedly: "We will live on an equal footing with all the citizens of Daxia and abide by the laws of Daxia!"
Treat each other as equals...
equality……
Chione chewed this unfamiliar word, she had never thought
However, one day, I want to live on an equal footing with the human race.
That is a high-altitude god!
In the divine world, even gods cannot get along with each other on an equal footing!
Strength is respected!
However, when faced with Lin Fan and the gods of Daxia, who were stronger than him but also treated everyone as equals, Chione was chased by Zeus and bullied by the gods. Chione suddenly felt that equality seemed to be more precious than conquest!
Chione looked outside the Great Wall at the pure white ice and snow.
Without the support of winter's divine power, the ice and snow are slowly melting.
But still, too slow.
And since it is already my home...
Chione took a deep breath, and in an instant, waves of cold air swept back!
At this moment, the world is thawing!
The seemingly never-ending howling of the cold wind gradually subsided, and the thick clouds revealed the long-lost warm sunshine.
The ice and snow tens of meters deep melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into snow water and soaking into the earth, and the frozen earth thawed quickly.
On the sea surface, the ice layer quickly becomes thinner and eventually disappears completely.
As the ice and snow melt rapidly, the monotonous white world once again reveals other colors.
The brown of the earth, the blue of the sky, the green of the river, and the clearness of amber.
And that bright red color is particularly conspicuous among these many colors!
The howling of the cold wind was replaced by other sounds, the gurgling of the river, the chirping of birds and animals... full of life!
The biting cold wind turned into a soft spring breeze.
The snowflakes floating in the sky turned into fine spring rain.
This winter is completely over.
This land and this group of people have survived the harsh winter!
"It's raining."
It's spring!
"Haha, it ended just right. It won't delay the next sowing at this time."
"The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Three months of cold winter... the coming year will definitely be a good harvest!"
If it rains more, I won’t have to water the ground when I go back!
The common people raised their faces and felt the long-lost warm spring breeze and gentle drizzle.
at the same time.
European side.
"Spring is coming!"
"Winter is over!"
The soldiers with bloodstained faces stretched out their hands and felt the gentle breeze, their eyes full of relief.
European people walked out of their low houses one after another, looking at the dozens of meters of snow that was rapidly melting and blocking the road, looking at the long-lost warm sunshine, and let their faces get wet from the drizzle.
Their confused eyes gradually became brighter.
"Winter is over!"
"spring is coming!"
"Daxia, Daxia has won!"
"It's finally over...wuwuwu, mom..." A woman suddenly started crying when she thought of her mother who died in this cold winter!
It is different from Daxia.
This is the most painful winter they have ever experienced!
If Daxia hadn't come to help, I'm afraid everyone would...
Facing the end of winter, there were no smiles on their faces, only cries and sobs.
"Okay, okay, don't cry," a member of the Alliance of Gods shouted loudly at the settlement: "Come and get the seeds, sow them quickly! Spring is coming, we can no longer rely on Daxia's support! Restore production quickly
!”
the other side.
free country.
On the muddy and pitted land, the snow gradually melted.
silence.
Very quiet.
This is an abandoned land, with only the sound of melting ice and snow.
But the next moment.
"Winter is over."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in a dilapidated high-rise building.
A thin man slowly walked out of the building. He closed his eyes and felt the spring breeze and drizzle, greedily sucking the rainwater dripping on his face.
No, it's not just him.
In this dilapidated city, among the collapsed and abandoned buildings, figures one after another walked out.
They stood in the warm spring breeze, or squinted their eyes to look at the long-lost sun, or enjoyed the warm spring breeze.
They are citizens of a free country that should not exist!
They are citizens of a free country who were abandoned outside the refuge!
They should have been dead long ago!
"Spring has come and winter is over."
"It's finally over. If I don't come back, there will be almost nothing left to burn in this city."
"I heard from Mr. X... Daxia should have won the battle!"
Stepping on the muddy ground, these people lamented with tears in their voices, some sobbed and some howled.
Most of them are thin, but they are still alive!
These abandoned citizens are still struggling to survive after two consecutive major disasters!
Perhaps even the pampered big shots in the shelter did not expect that these untouchables who were sentenced to death could actually survive until now!
Just like the humble weeds, and like the tiny ants.
No matter what the environment is, you can work hard to survive!
People are very fragile, but sometimes they are also very strong!
Everyone is wearing tattered but heavy clothes, and many of them even have the logos of "Fifth Refuge", "Eighth Refuge", and even "First Refuge" printed on them!
This is clothing from a shelter!
suddenly.
"boom!"
Hundreds of military heavy-duty pickup trucks with the consortium's logo covered up roared towards them, like roaring steel behemoths!
The crowds who were intoxicated by the breeze were immediately alert. Many people were looking for bunkers and strategically lying down, and some even had guns in their hands!
Like a group of ants guarding their nest!
There are even more than a dozen figures rising into the sky, and they are clearly gods!
"It's me!" A young man opened the car window and waved.
"It's you!" The middle-aged man at the head stood up instantly, with respectful eyes, and with immense gratitude and loyalty, he picked up a military walkie-talkie from his waist and opened the microphone: "It's okay, it's Mr. Paul!"
Little Paul.
Paul's son!
He is also General Mike’s current assistant!
The crowd instantly gave up their guard and surrounded him with grateful eyes.
"Is Mr. X here?"
"Is Mr. X feeling well?"
"Mr. X, thank you for the medicine you provided last time...it saved my child's life!"
The crowd shouted at the truck.
Although they didn’t know who Mr.
They only knew that Mr.
Although I don't know what it looks like.
But he’s definitely a big shot!
In fact, Mr. X is General Mike.
Since General Mike took control of the entire steel industry owned by the Carnegie family, with the Third Sanctuary as the core.
He finally has the right to insert his drivers and workers into the old man's fleet when he goes out to mine resources!
That is to say, during an outing, the first convoy led by Mike himself and the third convoy of the old man discovered these survivors struggling to survive at the same time!
At the meeting after returning, Mike sadly announced that due to a sudden avalanche, the old man's third convoy was completely wiped out, and his first convoy also suffered heavy losses.
Only Mike himself knows the truth.
From then on, Mike continued to support these people who were as small as ants but worked hard to survive. Every time, he borrowed his own truck that set out to mine materials and quietly transported batches of materials outside.
Although there are not many, whether it is discarded second-hand clothes, medicines, fuel, or expired nutritional blocks, these are all urgently needed by these survivors who are struggling to survive in the cold winter!
Of course, Mike will not reveal his true identity. After all, if he reveals his true identity, then these people will be discovered by other Jishihui members. Once captured alive, he will be beyond redemption!
So, Mike contacts them as Mr.
Even if these people are discovered, even if Mike's convoy is discovered, Mike, who has narrowly escaped five assassinations by rat men, can still pretend to be ignorant and angry that his convoy was actually killed by those damn rats.
People have infiltrated, and even his assistant has been bribed by the rat man!
Strictly speaking, the only people who know the true identity of General Mike now are Mu Wanxia and the core backbone of the rat people who have been tested by Mu Wanxia and will never betray, and as Paul's child, little Paul is extremely loyal.
Even Little John didn't know that Mike was the evil Mr. X. Little Lyle didn't know at all that Mr.
Little Paul chuckled, walked out of the truck cab, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Mr. X is not here, he is still in a meeting."
"Thank you for your concern. He is in good health."
"This time, I am here to deliver this batch of supplies instead of Mr. X!"
Seeing that Mr.
"Unload!" Little Paul picked up the walkie-talkie, and in an instant, hundreds of truck compartments opened one after another!
What I saw in the carriage was not the expired nutrition blocks or shabby clothes as usual!
But...
"seed?"
"And these devices..."
The middle-aged man looked at the trucks in front of him in disbelief and whispered: "What we are in urgent need of now is food..."
Little Paul shook his head: "Mr.
"Winter is over, and the hardest time is over."
"You have to try and survive on your own!"
"This time, half are seeds! Half are discarded machine tool parts and mining and exploration equipment!"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "Mr. X means..."
"Rely on your own and survive!"
"Grow crops on this abandoned land and survive for a long time! Build your own shelter!"
"In this abandoned land, mine minerals, build industry, and manufacture weapons!"
Little Paul smiled and said: "Mr.
"Now, snow water moistens the earth and washes away the salt brought by the last sea level rise. This land can already grow crops."
"You, too, have to rely on yourselves!"
The middle-aged man stood there stunned.
"Why, is it difficult to rely on yourself?" Little Paul frowned.
"It's not difficult!" The middle-aged man laughed and said, "We are already a difficult existence.
Living ants, struggling to grow weeds!”
"Before Mr. X funded us, we also survived the God of the Ocean!"
"We will never let him down!"
"In any case, without Mr.
Little Paul smiled: "Don't think too much, we will still support you regularly in the future. This time, it's just a test for Mr. X. He doesn't want to help people who can't stand up."
"Mr. X said that as long as you can produce enough food, we will still provide any help."
The middle-aged man nodded solemnly: "Thank you! If the Rat Man organization needs it in the future, please feel free to ask! We will fight in even if we risk our lives!"
"If you ask me, let's just cooperate inside and outside, rush into the shelter, and kill those damn members of the Society of Help, especially General Mike who proposed the shelter..."
Little Paul shook his head slightly: "It's not that simple. Mr. X needs to wait for the opportunity."
“Mr.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: Ant?
“Mr.
Ants are really apt... Okay, we will be a group of inconspicuous ants!! The middle-aged man laughed and said: "One day, as long as Mr.
, fight into that strong shelter! Dig out that nest!”
"Now, unload!"
Immediately a group of men rushed up to help unload the goods!
The middle-aged man continued to shout loudly: "Also, listen up! From now on, the rations will be reduced, and each person will only have half a nutritious block every day! Until the food is produced! No one is allowed to eat a seed. Now that the land is thawing,
When you’re hungry, you eat grass roots and tree bark; if you can’t do that, you dig ant nests and eat earthworms!”
"yes!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
"No one is allowed to eat!"
"We have all survived the most difficult time! These seeds and equipment are our hope for the future!"
"Whoever eats the seeds is destroying us all and destroying all our hopes!"
Although they are thin, there is a firm light in their numb eyes!
Someone whispered in a low voice: Finally, Mr.
"Yes, although I don't know who Mr.
General Mike... damn it! If one day I can attack with the support of Mr. X, I will be the first to kill that damn General Mike!"
And the other side.
Little Paul handed the middle-aged man a map and warned: "It marks the routes of the resource mining convoys of each family in the next month. You must avoid it. Once discovered, you will die. After half a month, you need to move.
, the relocation location was chosen by Mr.
, not a single footprint can be left..."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "The resource mining fleet...are they still huddled inside? Winter is over!"
"Although the winter is over now, the people in the shelter will still not be released, and they will not even know that the winter is over..." Little Paul lit a cigarette and sighed: "Speaking of which, you are struggling to survive.
, maybe much luckier than those lucky ones who can enter the shelter."
Little Paul exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the blue sky, and breathed in the earthy air.
The golden sunshine fell on his face. At this moment, his profile looked like his dead father, especially the determination in his eyes.
The coldest winter in human history is finally over.
But amidst the cheers, under the Great Wall, there were actually people who were reluctant to leave, with regretful eyes: "Is this the end... It's over suddenly, I'm not used to it."
Some netizens said: "Yes, I am also thinking of going to the Great Wall in the north to ski next week, and the air tickets have been booked."
I actually don’t want winter to end…
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, Chione is personally in charge of the northern Great Wall and is responsible for the refrigeration of the warehouse. She will also create a hundred miles of ice and snow for everyone to have fun with."
Chione: "..."
I have never seen such a weird request.
But Mr. Chen's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the intercom and said: "Turn off the underground furnaces everywhere! Stop heating immediately!"
Then she complained to Lin Fan in a low voice: "This Chione comes out all the time... She didn't even report in advance that the winter will end today! Forty degrees below zero turned directly into 20 degrees, and we are still heating.
!Hey guys, the temperature in the city soared to 30 degrees just now, directly turning into a red high temperature alert! Fortunately, in order to fight against the cold winter, the citizens have stored a lot of popsicles at home..."
Lin Fan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Chione, now that you are a citizen of Daxia, whatever you do in the future, follow the arrangements. If you have any ideas, think about it more. If you are not sure, report it in advance!"
You are no longer a superior god, and you cannot act as you please!
"You must always remember that there are 140,000 compatriots behind you!"
This is the conflict between the thinking of gods and the thinking of Daxia.
"Yes, I will remember it." Chione nodded seriously, and then suddenly looked expectant: "Let's start the next step quickly."
She can't wait!
