Chapter 462: Hidden Danger

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A shadow flew across the dark sky with the speed of light.

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly and hung mid-air.

It was Luo Yuan.

10,000 meters above the air, there were numerous dark clouds rumbling. There were lightning strikes within the dark clouds, which made the sky shift between darkness and light.

He descended from the sky across the dark clouds into the Reconstruction Area – that once used to be a hive of activity. It was now a ruin with three gigantic holes which almost occupied the entire area. Each of the holes was at least 100 kilometers wide from the outside, and its depth was more than 1,000 meters deep – a result of the three anti-material bombs.

Although the weather was cold, apart from one that was completely inactive, there were still smoke coming out of the other two holes.

Due to the explosion, the tectonic plates in the area were weak. The heat from the ground escaped from the cracks that were caused by he volcano eruption, imminent of an impending eruption. It was a major hidden danger for Hope City.

With mankind’s ability, it was impossible to leave this place and build a new residence with such short notice. The terrifying fact of the harsh cold was sufficient to break the anyone’s will to live. The thought of moving into the spacecraft was even less possible.

Luo Yuan was here to see how big this hidden danger was.

Soon, he descended into one of the holes.

The closer he got to the bottom of the hole, the higher the temperature was. The snow around was thinner and more water vapor ascended. The vapor met with the cold up there and was soon frozen into snow that fell back down into the hole again.

The amount of snow was threatening, and snowball that was as big as his fist had hit him from above.

Within seconds, his body was covered in snow.

It was a mini water circulation system in the hole.

When it was 300 meters away from the bottom, as the temperature rose, the snow melted at an instant, showing the virtuous wall that shone with colors.

Luo Yuan could see colorful crystals on the wall, which were minerals created by the cooling of the lava. There were many precious stones seen too. They were valuable before the apocalypse, but now, they were not even worth a penny.

As he descended even further, the temperature increased dramatically. All he could see was steam. When he landed at the bottom, the water vapor had completely evaporated.

Contrary to his expectations, he saw no lava inside, but a boiling lake instead.

The lake was not big – only 100,000 square meters in size. Bubbles were boiling on the surface of the lake; it was humid in there. Luo Yuan was soaking wet with perspiration by just standing there for a short while.

There were 10,000 tons of water flowing from the wall into the lake each second. At the same time, the said amount of water evaporated each second, which caused the lake to remain the same size.

The temperature of the lake was higher than he had expected. If not for the flowing water that refilled the lake, it would be completely evaporated within minutes.

However, the temperature did not affect Luo Yuan at all.

He took off his shirt and jumped into the lake stark naked. There was no water sensation on his skin, and it felt as though the lake was made of bubbles. He felt very light in there.

The unit area of was not even a third of water, and the temperature was already more than 200 degrees Celsius.
