Chen Jiu felt confused.

What the hell?

So the so-called holy object is the radar antenna?

This explains why it doesn't snow in Xiahe Village.

There is a high probability that it is affected by the electromagnetic microwaves of the radar.

But the question comes again, to achieve this level, how much power does this thing have to have?

It is estimated that rumors such as "rabbits are roasted three hundred meters away" pale into insignificance in front of it.

----Wait a minute, if the sacred object is a radar antenna, how can you bring this thing back by yourself?

The mission is to "retrieve" the antenna and send it to a research institute called "Sanchi". According to the map on the UI interface, the Sanchi Research Institute is hidden in the nearby mountains, about 10 feet away from Xiahe Village.

There is a straight line distance of nearly four kilometers.

What the hell?!

What a bullshit mission!

Chen Jiu has seen many games of not being human, but this is the first time he has seen a game like this where he doesn't even act and just puts "I am the task written with my feet" on his face.

Is it possible to complete this task?

In comparison, beating the ice dog in Lenglie Valley to death with bare hands doesn't seem like a big deal, at least it's really feasible.

And you?

Is this actually a dungeon that requires dozens of players to complete?

If this were not the case, let alone how to persuade the villagers of Xiahe Village to give up the "sacred object", even if they were so merciful that they would not be able to take it back with them.

Or maybe, "retrieval" is just an abstract term, and in fact, all you need to do is restore the normal function of the radar?

But I don’t know how to repair radar.

Chen Jiu is simply one of the top two.

But now he has no other choice but to move on and see what happens.

However, as soon as he walked out of the narrow alley, someone among the crowd in the open space spotted him.

"A stranger is here!"

The man pointed at Chen Jiu and shouted loudly.

In an instant, everyone turned around, many of whom were carrying swords and other strange weapons. They rushed in front of Chen Jiu and surrounded him.

Chen Jiu stayed where he was in embarrassment. According to the normal game routine, the plot cutscene should have started at this time. Even if it was not possible, there would have to be a dialogue option. However, except for the bare UI interface, there was nothing else in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said:

"I broke in accidentally, it's too cold outside..."

He thought that his completely unconvincing words would not change anything, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, an older man in the crowd actually nodded and said:

"It's too cold, the ice wave is coming... We don't care how you got here, but once you enter Xiahe Village, you can't leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, two sturdy young men came over, trying to catch Chen Jiu.

WTF?

Chen Jiu had a shocked expression on his face, but then he reacted.

Yes, in this post-apocalyptic world, having such a "heating artifact" will undoubtedly be the object of everyone's covetousness.

If you want to survive, either these people have to be frighteningly powerful in combat, or they have to hide themselves.

Obviously, judging from the geographical location of Xiahe Village surrounded by mountains and their performance, they chose the latter.

This is indeed an effective method, but the problem is that it is not good for yourself.

Who knows what they would do with themselves?

Killed? Buried? Raised to increase population?

No matter which one it is, it is not conducive to continuing to advance the game process.

He had to be free, and he had to have access to the radar antenna, and figure out what the so-called "retrieval" in the mission meant.

Chen Jiu's mind was spinning rapidly. Seeing that the man with the weapon was about to come up and take him away, he suddenly had an idea and shouted:

"I know what's wrong with your divine furnace!"

The people around him fell silent instantly, but it could be seen from their eyes that they were definitely not surprised.

But a deep doubt and fear.

A stranger from outside the mountains actually claimed to know what was wrong with the divine furnace. This made people doubt his identity and purpose.

Chen Jiu also noticed the other party's abnormality, so he quickly added:

"I once went to a place where there was also a sacred furnace. They knew how to repair it—and how to worship the sacred furnace!"

In fact, Chen Jiu was just betting that he didn't know what was wrong with the radar. Even if he knew the high probability, it would be difficult to solve it on his own, but at least he could use this to delay time.

"Have you seen other divine furnaces?"

The old man who spoke first asked solemnly.

"Yes, there are more than one. I have traveled a long distance, and in many places, people worship the sacred furnace! What you are doing is wrong!"

On this point, Chen Jiu was quite confident.

Nonsense, is that right? The base of the radar is filled with unknown meats and grains. What use can this thing have?

However, it is definitely risky behavior to say that someone's sacrifice method is wrong.

But fortunately, he made the right bet.

Someone in the crowd was whispering.

"I just said you can't do this. My grandfather said before that in the past, stone was used for sacrificial furnaces..."

"Yes, I also heard that it uses a cylindrical stone, but since my father's generation, meat has been used..."

"There is nothing we can do about it. That kind of stone is very special and cannot be found on the mountain. Moreover, the process of offering sacrifices is also very complicated. No one knows how to do it now..."

Chen Jiu's heart moved. He probably guessed the problem with the so-called "divine furnace".

Cylindrical stone?

This radar station is not powered by nuclear fuel, right?

If this is the case, then there is really no way to revive their so-called divine furnace.

Where can we find nuclear fuel rods in this frozen world?

However, things were urgent and he saw that the old man's expression was a little shaken, so he quickly struck while the railway was still hot:

"Your sacred furnace doesn't eat flesh and blood at all. Even the sacrifices are wrong. How can it be useful?"

Hearing this, the old man's face changed.

Didn't he know that his sacrifice was wrong?

As the only priest in this settlement, he knew exactly what to use to worship the sacred furnace.

He even knew that the sacrifice was not a sacrifice at all, but was similar to burning a furnace and putting fuel into the sacred furnace.

However, the kind of stone used as fuel could no longer be found in the era of his first two terms.

He couldn't tell the truth because the people in Xiahe Village needed faith.

Once they know that no sacrifice can restore the power of the furnace, the village will fall apart in an instant.

This young man must not be allowed to continue talking.

He originally wanted to save this young man's life, but now, I'm afraid it won't be possible.

Thinking of this, he gave the people around him a look.
Chapter completed!
