Chapter 4991
"If chaos breaks out in the seabed in the future, will our alliance and mutual assistance treaty still stand?"
Before Zhang Yi attacked the Wuluan Empire, he borrowed a large amount of resources from Old Crab in order to prepare energy supplies.
He had promised that if the Deep Blue Kingdom ever needed help, he would come without hesitation.
Zhang Yi nodded without hesitation: "Of course! I, Chaos, would never lie to my friends!"
Jin looked at him, then suddenly stroked his beard and burst into laughter.
"As expected of the friend I, Old Jin the Crab, have chosen, you're truly loyal! I'm willing to be your partner for life!"
Zhang Yi shrugged and said seriously, "If I say it's true, then it's true! Because we're friends, I wouldn't lie to my friends."
"However, our Huaxu Kingdom is also quite busy right now, and we don't have the resources to open a new front. So for now, you guard your deep blue sea, and I'll guard my land."
"With you here, I feel at ease. At least no one will dare to sneak up on me from the seabed."
Upon hearing this, Jin chuckled softly, like ocean currents brushing against the rock face.
"Then I'll speak the truth as well."
He said, "If they push me too far one day, I might send some people over there."
“Not a refugee,” he emphasized. “He is a seed of my fish-man race.”
"The inherited bloodline of the Deep Blue Kingdom, the research center, and our most mature space adaptation unit. I don't expect you to support them, I only expect you to keep them from being thrown into the pot and boiled."
Zhang Yi nodded: "Of course, I'll say the same thing to you. Let's both leave each other a way out."
Jin was silent for a moment, seemingly relieved, then his smile faded, and his tone became solemn and calm again.
"One last thing, Chaos, I must remind you!"
"The frozen zone is beginning to thaw!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi's gaze suddenly turned strange.
Five years ago, the Ice Age began, freezing the entire globe.
Five years later, the world changed dramatically, all races emerged, and even the Ice Age was about to end.
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes: "You've noticed some signs?"
“Hmm,” Jin said slowly, “The direction of the deep-sea thermal currents has changed. The polar current belt is starting to loosen. The energy density of those frozen faults beneath the ice sheet is decreasing. We have detected a large amount of high-pressure freshwater flowing back.”
"I am the king of the sea, and I am the first to sense the change in water temperature. This is not a small fluctuation. This is a large-scale warming."
Zhang Yi's heart moved.
“You on the surface will soon see,” Jin concluded. “The Ice Age may be coming to an end, Chaos.”
Communications cut off.
The deep-sea image went dark, and the channel was reset to zero.
Zhang Yi stood there, silent for a long time.
The sea breeze still carried a chill, but that chill felt like an existing chill rather than an increasing one.
He suddenly realized that the biting, knife-like coldness in the air was indeed fading.
The curve of temperature difference sensing on the outer layer of his armor also gave the same conclusion: the suppression of the extreme cold zone was loosening.
The frozen sea is slowly thawing.
The Ice Age may really be coming to an end.
This is of great significance.
Because if the ice melts, the first change won't be the increased warmth and comfort, but rather—
The geopolitical landscape will change.
Waterways that were originally blocked by thousands of meters of ice were opened, and land bridges that were separated by extreme cold were reconnected.
Those sinkholes blocked by ice will be transformed into transportation channels, and those energy veins and relics buried under the ice sheet will be exposed.
In other words, not just humans, but all ancient races will be busy.
Zhang Yi speculates that the end of the Ice Age was related to the emergence of prehistoric civilizations.
After all, many ancient races were not adapted to the Ice Age.
After the Creator wiped out 90% of the six generations of people, the mission of the Ice Age was accomplished.
The six regions of Huaxu Kingdom were not originally "a single, contiguous fertile land".
Their controlled areas are separated by ice fields, fault lines, remnants of active volcanoes, and wastelands.
