Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

The sky remained dark, and the wind whistled through the mountains like a low sob.

Zhang Yi stopped and looked at the girl gazing at the sky ahead.

A bright light shone in Shunliuxing's eyes, the pure joy of seeing the world for the first time.

But Zhang Yi knew in his heart that this joy was destined to be short-lived.

He took a deep breath, waved his hand gently, and the shadow space slowly opened.

Black ripples spread out, like a door leading to another world.

"Ke'er, do me a favor."

Zhang Yi told Zhou Ke'er his plan: "Didn't you study psychology? Talk to this girl. That ugly guy next to her has a gloomy vibe. She only has one day to see the outside world, so we should leave her with some good memories."

Zhou Ke'er had always felt sorry for this poor girl, and after hearing Zhang Yi's words, she immediately nodded in understanding.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will spend a lot of time with her and try my best to leave her with the most beautiful memories."

From the shadows, a beautiful woman slowly emerged.

Zhou Ke'er emerged from the shadows, her aura incongruous with the cold, moonlit landscape, yet bringing a sense of warmth.

When she saw the fleeting meteor, a look of pity flashed in her eyes, which was then followed by a smile.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Ke'er. I'm from Earth. Can I keep you company?"

Shunliuxing paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "I...I am called Shunliuxing."

Zhang Yi stood not far from the two of them and introduced her, saying, "She is my girlfriend."

At this point, he glanced at Fen Gu and gave him a warning look.

He wasn't worried that Fen Gu might suddenly attack and take Zhou Ke'er hostage. After all, with his current strength, killing Fen Gu was just a matter of a thought.

Zhang Yi knew that this day belonged to the meteor, and all Zhou Ke'er could do was let the girl experience more about this world.

The two traveled to many places on the moon. When they were tired, they sat on the rocks in the valley, where the wind howled and the moonlight was bright.

Zhou Ke'er patiently recounted the story of Earth.

"There are four seasons on Earth. In spring, hundreds of flowers bloom and the air is filled with their fragrance; in summer, the trees are lush and green, and children play in the river; in autumn, there are golden rice fields and falling maple leaves; in winter, it snows and everything is white, as if the whole world is dressed in a wedding gown."

Shunliuxing's eyes widened, her breathing becoming rapid: "The four seasons... are so beautiful. The moon only has cold nights and gray-white skies, I didn't know it could have such changes."

Zhou Ke'er smiled gently, took out a small projector from the shadow space, and after turning it on, a light screen appeared in the night sky.

The screen displays scenes of Earth:

The azure sea, rolling mountains, cities with towering skyscrapers, streets illuminated by dazzling lights at night, and the laughter and dancing of people during festivals.

Shunliuxing held his breath, completely immersed in the moment.

"Those are movies and TV shows from Earth."

Zhou Ke'er explained softly, "These are stories that people have created themselves, turning their dreams, emotions, and hopes into images. Although they are fictional, there is so much beauty in them."

In one scene, a young girl runs through the schoolyard, carrying a backpack and smiling brightly; in another, lovers hold hands under the sunset, making eternal vows.

Shunliuxing's eyes gradually reddened. She reached out her hand, as if wanting to touch the image: "So... the world can be so beautiful. Even if it's just fake, I want to keep watching."

Zhou Ke'er took her hand and smiled, "It's true, a shooting star. These stories are recorded because people are willing to believe. As long as there is love and hope in our hearts, beauty is real."

Shunliuxing's tears finally fell. She smiled and cried at the same time, her voice trembling: "Thank you, Ke'er. It turns out, I really did have the chance... to see what this world looks like."

……

On the other side, Zhang Yi and Fen Gu stood side by side at the other end of the valley.

The night wind howled, and the black cloak on Fen Gu's body fluttered, just like his restless mind.

Zhang Yi spoke calmly: "Fen Gu, I want to ask you a question."

Fen Gu glanced at him coldly, but remained silent.

"Knowing it's all in vain," Zhang Yi's tone was calm, yet sharp as a sword, "why do you still persist? Why risk your life to protect an ending already destined for destruction?"

"You should know that after doing that kind of thing, neither the Dark Moon Empire nor the Radiant Moon Empire will let you off the hook, right?"

"After things are over here, you'll probably only have one option left: to go to the Dark Sun Forest and accompany the Night Witch."

Burning Bone remained silent for a moment, then clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

After a long while, he finally let out a cold snort.

"You don't understand at all."

His voice was deep, carrying a sense of restraint and stubbornness.

"Even if the end is destruction... even if all my efforts turn to dust, I will fight with all my might to protect her. Because that is the meaning of my life!"

Zhang Yi looked at him with deep eyes and did not argue further.

He could feel the weight in Burning Bones' words; it was an unwavering conviction that even death could not shake.

……

As night deepened, time slowly passed.

Finally, the light of dawn shone through the edge of the valley, illuminating the figures of the girl and the burning bones.

Shunliuxing leaned on Zhou Ke'er's shoulder, his eyes filled with satisfaction and affection.

"Is the day... over?"

she asked softly.

Zhang Yi stepped forward and nodded: "Yes, the agreed time has arrived. We must set off."

Shunliuxing took a deep breath, tried hard to hold back her tears, and forced a smile.

She took Fen Gu's hand and looked at Zhang Yi: "Thank you, Chaos. Thank you for letting my eyes truly see the world."

Zhou Ke'er gently hugged her, leaving her with a tender smile, burying the regret deep in her eyes, and silently returned to Zhang Yi's side.

Zhang Yi said calmly, "No need to thank me, we all have our own things to do."

He continued, "Come on, Meteor. Now it's your turn to fulfill your mission."

Gu Cheng also came over. As the Grand General of the Radiant Moon Empire, he would escort Shunliuxing there.

Fen Gu clenched his fists tightly, staring at Zhang Yi and Gu Cheng with eyes that seemed to want to devour them.

"Don't stare at me like that, it won't do you any good!"

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"I promised the Night Witch I wouldn't harm you, but—"

He looked up at the sky; the warships of the Radiant Moon Empire had been keeping a close eye on their movements.

"They won't go easy on you."

Fen Gu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I want to go with you!"

He looked at the shooting star and said, "Wherever you go, I will always be by your side."
