Chapter 444: Chapter 444

"Damn, making ice with hot water is useless! Mine didn’t work either! Where’s that big shot who said it could work before? There’s less than forty hours until the disaster officially begins, what should we do?"

"I told you it wouldn’t work. We should go to the Secret Realm to find something that can generate electricity, then try our luck finding electric fans or air conditioners that still work."

"The guy upstairs is losing it again; how can we find those methods? For the hot water ice-making guy, check if there’s any oversight elsewhere, and if not, try again. We followed that big shot’s hot water cooling method and didn’t succeed either, but I have to say, Tang Country’s ancient methods are truly fascinating. They actually thought of using the Joule-Thomson effect."

"Joule-Thomson effect? Is that the one, where gas passes through porous materials, causing irreversible adiabatic expansion with drastic temperature changes?"

"The guy upstairs is a scholar indeed. Speaking of which, did anyone take notes? I’ve forgotten the process of this so-called hot water ice-making method. Is it too late to experiment now?"

"Hands out kind of guy, just search it, what do you mean forgot it? I’ll tell you, make a bottle with a small opening and a big belly, fill it with some water, heat it from below, and when there’s less water inside and it’s all steam, quickly remove the fire source. Then cover the bottle top with something airtight, like thick fabric, and bury it in a pre-dug pit. After three days, you’ll see ice—just like that big shot said, not me."

"Oh girlie, magic open the door for magic, magic’s at home! Whoever can make ice, I’ll write a big ’respect’."

"Three days? I’ll be decomposed by then, no more talk, I’m just lying down waiting to die."

"Brothers, I succeeded, no ice blocks, but there are some ice shards. Here’s the picture, everyone look at it quickly, the actual ice has melted away. ’BigIceBlock.jpg’.

"Stop talking, I still think ice-making with nitrate is more reliable. But as you see, someone is selling nitrate now, but it costs 1 ton of water and a ton of food for a piece. If I had a ton of water, I’m not gonna soak in it, give food to him? Screw him and his grandma’s drill!"

"Yeah, some people succeeded with nitrate ice-making before, but nitrate is too scarce. Is nitrate a rare mineral in Otherworld? I remember there being some in the toilet when I was a kid." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

"We managed to extract quite a bit of nitrate powder from the toilet, but it’s too little. Looks path won’t work either. Folks, looks like we won’t get through this disaster, maybe ten percent survival would be considered lucky. True human extinction!"

"So unwilling, finally surviving until now, who would’ve thought... We already have over ten people dead from heatstroke, looks like it’s really over this time!"

"Tired, let it all end."

"This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, anyway someone is dying with me, could be billions, suddenly feels worthwhile."

"Lin Yue isn’t coming out now?"

"Yeah, where’s Lin Yue?"

"Where did Lin Yue go? Where’s Lin Yue? Why doesn’t he care about us? Damn it, this guy is too selfish, clearly has the capability, why doesn’t he help us? Why doesn’t he share his air conditioner with us? He deserves to die!"

"Lin Yue deserves to die!"

As people kept urging others on world channels to try some so-called big shots’ unknown if reliable "hot water ice-making method" one failure after another, facing the disaster incoming in little more than a day, a wave of emotion called "despair" started spreading throughout the world channel.

Although some still insisted on using hot water to make ice, they also knew the hopes were slim.

No one had a better way to deal with extreme heat; even if someone did, they wouldn’t share it with others. It’s not like no one was selling the most likely ice-making nitrate, but the price made everyone hesitant.

Even if someone gritted their teeth and bought it, they found that the small unit of nitrate did very limited things.

The world channel gradually became less active.

Only a few people were still swearing at Lin Yue, but no one responded to them.

Those shouting now would be the first batch to be eliminated, because besides swearing, they did nothing else.

"Those still cursing Lin Yue are definitely beggars now. Who wasn’t saved by Lin Yue last time? Moreover, it’s Lin Yue’s obligation to save people, isn’t it? With his ability, he should save tens of billions, shouldn’t he? What kind of logic is that? Since Lin Yue hasn’t said anything this time, it seems he has no solution, even if someone as strong as him is... Whoa? What did I see? Everyone, go check it out! Lin Yue logged in a large amount of nitrate! And each Refugee Village has a limit of ten units, priced only needing alloy or all sorts of old appliances, parts, etc.? Is he, is he a god?

Just when everyone was in despair due to the failed hot water ice-making method, someone suddenly discovered on the world trading channel an unexpectedly large quantity of nitrate was posted!

And the one who posted the nitrate was none other than Lin Yue, who they just mentioned!

Lin Yue, the person ranked first on the world leaderboard, who previously shared the method to survive the disaster, and the one who countless people have pinned their hopes on, yet also cursed and hated by countless beggars.
