Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

What was manifested in the fact that the surrounding temperature dropped faster and faster, snowflakes were floating in the air, water dripping from both sides of the ship formed clumps of ice, and even the ice on the sea surface became visibly thicker, causing the sailing speed to inevitably slow down again.

Zhou Ning exhaled a puff of mist and looked up at the sky. In Apocalypse, there was a milestone called [Natural Disaster Survivor]. This required surviving three, five, or seven natural disasters of the highest severity, respectively, without dying. The reward was luck and abnormal resistance, both very useful to him.

The journey was filled with twists and turns. He hadn't expected a mercenary mission that he'd thought would be a straightforward one, but it had so many twists and turns. While the risks were significant, there were also unexpected rewards, far more valuable than he'd anticipated.

I've already completed two progress levels: a top-tier storm and a torrential downpour. Since I'm about to face an angel with complete control over the weather, with a bit of luck, I should be able to complete the milestone of five weather levels. I just don't know if others are happy about this.

"What's going on? Are we at the South Pole?"

"Fuck, man, the little animals are going to freeze to death!"

"Come, let me see."

Players could be heard discussing the situation in the distance. Weather is a key selling point in Apocalypse, and that naturally includes the temperature setting. Due to insufficient preparation and lack of clothing, the players around them were shivering in the cold, some even developing frostbite and slowly losing health. Meanwhile, at the weather observatory, several meteorologists were sweating profusely, desperately trying to control the weather and alter the temperature, their professionalism at its peak.

At this time, facing the ice layer gradually forming in front, the Thorn was not under much pressure. A layer of barbed iron plate was erected in front of the ship - this is the origin of the name of the ship, the Thorn. In addition to being used to deal with pirates, this layer of iron plate can also be used to deal with this situation. Amidst the flying ice chips, the ship only slowed down slightly and continued to move forward.

Despite the growing snowstorm and the darkening sky, only pillars of light of varying colors shot straight up into the sky, illuminating everything around them, the journey was uneventful. Before they knew it, the ship was about to sail beyond the edge of the Marauder's Map, and the snow was visibly falling heavier ahead.

Just now, Zhou Ning tried to close and reopen the Marauder's Map several times, but the game panel indicated that the items were still cooling down and could only be used now.

After testing, the Marauder Map's cooldown time is approximately 45 minutes, which slightly reduces its practicality. It cannot be used as a true radar.

"The prank is over!"

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!"

Zhou Ning silently chanted a spell, restoring the Marauder's Map to a blank state. After closing and reopening the Marauder's Map, Zhou Ning discovered that his destination, Hood Island, had suddenly appeared on the Marauder's Map.

However, due to the characteristic of the Marauder's Map that only displays the map within 10 kilometers around itself, it currently only displays a small area on the northwest side of the island and a small area protruding on the southwest side.

What disappointed Zhou Ning was that the names of Karl Robbins and Archbishop Edward still did not appear on the Marauder's Map. Of course, it was not ruled out that they had used some means to block their traces.

Zhou Ning's eyes scanned the map for a while, and then stopped at the southeast side of the map, which was the waters northwest of Hood Island. Zhou Ning saw the traces of the Poseidon in the southeast waters, and they were approaching quickly.

At this point, Zhou Ning noticed a pattern: the Marauder's Map seemed to indicate the opposing faction and its approximate strength. For example, on the Thorn, the names of his own faction were all blue, while the names of the other players were mostly blue, with a small number of yellow names. Zhou Ning felt this symbolized neutrality. This wasn't surprising; even if one held a high position among the players and had a high reputation, there would always be willful players who would dissent.

However, Zhou Ning noticed that the little black guy Grantham was also blue, which surprised Zhou Ning a little.

As for the people on the Poseidon, most of their names were green. Based on his experience in MMO games, Zhou Ning guessed that they were from the enemy camp that was weaker than him. There were also three people with pink names, who should be close to his own strength.

Finally, two names were stained a blood-red, as if dripping blood. They were "Weather Lord" Valentine and "God's Favored One" Edin. The latter's name was even darker than Valentine's. As expected, "God's Favored One" Edin was an extremely powerful angel.

The color of the map in a large area ahead is silver-white, which obviously has a special symbolic meaning. It should be some kind of terrible catastrophic climate. The water general Benson Hill, who had been gathered at the southeast edge of the map and remained motionless, led his fleet towards the "Poseidon", obviously wanting to form a siege.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh silently. If he hadn't made sure that he hadn't used the Lucky Clover, it would have really looked like he had overdrawn his luck.

Meredith had obviously "seen" this through his own means. This time, he did not disappear. Instead, he stood silently at the bow of the ship and said in a vague voice:

"Be prepared, the ice storm is coming. I will prioritize dealing with the God-Favored Edin, but I will also provide corresponding support to maintain a fair combat environment. If necessary, don't be stingy and use God's Descent directly."

After saying this, He turned His gaze to Patriarch Roger and said:

"Give me the Bronze Book of Fariq first, and you or Smith Hall will prepare for the divine descent."

"Yes! Your Majesty Meredith."

Patriarch Roger agreed without hesitation, handing Meredith the bronze book used in the previous battle. Zhou Ning couldn't help but curl his lips. No wonder the Church of the God of War was desperate to get the Falric Code back. The bronze book was originally in Smith Hall's hands, and it was stolen twice in a row, first by the demigod and then by the angel. If he had been in the possession of this book, he would probably have a dark shadow in his heart.

"Ice storm?" Several meteorologists at the weather observatory exchanged gasps, despair in their eyes. Angel-level ice storms differed from ordinary ice storms. In meteorology, angel-level ice storms were formed by direct oscillations of the westerly winds. When two hurricanes of varying temperatures collided, moist air was rapidly lifted and cooled, causing water vapor to condense into large-scale ice balls and blades, delivering terrifying destructive power.

Zhou Ning watched for a few seconds the silver-white snow falling in the distance and the increasingly strong wind, and fell into deep thought. He currently had four trump cards, namely Zhou Ning, a time traveler who transcended from a vampire, Zhou Ning, the cosmic overlord whose original body was Boros, and two powerful templates that he had not yet transcended: Hero King Zhou Ning and King of Magic Zhou Ning, whose original body was Solomon.

This Possession Card probably cannot be saved. Considering the group battle and the unprecedented intensity of the battle, if the situation is not right, Zhou Ning decided to use the Hero King template to deal with this battle.

Let them know the power of the King's Treasure, the Heaven's Chain and the Star of Creation of Heaven and Earth.
