Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 551 - 363, Frost disaster that killed at least 200 million people

Chapter 551: 363, Frost disaster that killed at least 200 million people

Yang Fan and Ling Shuiling got off the plane and immediately saw a captain officer standing in front of a black sedan, with another soldier beside him.

The captain quickly stepped forward a few paces, took a careful look at Yang Fan, and asked, "Are you Mr. Yang and Miss Ling?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Yes."

The captain saluted: "Please get in the car, both of you."

The soldier immediately reached out and opened the car door.

Once they got in, the sedan started up right away.

For Ling Shuiling, it was the first time experiencing something like this, both novel and exciting.

Yang Fan, on the other hand, remained calm because he had experienced many grand scenes; this was merely child’s play.

The female secretary gently nudged her boyfriend’s sleeve with her elbow: "With such a big fuss, this matter must be something serious."

Yang Fan succinctly replied, "You’ll know once we see the Weather Tree."

The captain, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and handed over a tablet: "Mr. Yang, this is the current situation with the Weather Tree."

Yang Fan reached out and took the tablet, seeing a picture.

Ling Shuiling leaned over to take a look and was immediately shocked: "Has the tree grown so big?"

She had joined Celestial Star Company very early and witnessed the Weather Tree’s growth firsthand.

When the Weather Tree was sent to the Capital, it was just over a meter tall, surrounded by a large amount of mist.

If it was about to rain or was already raining in the city, a light drizzle or micro snowflakes would float around the Weather Tree, looking quite magical.

But the Weather Tree in the picture was much taller than an adult male, with an estimated height of about two meters.

It was placed in a spacious indoor greenhouse, roughly forty square meters, the ground covered in lush green grass.

The entire greenhouse was filled with cloud-like mist, not the usual mist, but streaks of cloud-like formations.

Yang Fan didn’t need to think to know the answer: "The ’Special Plant Research Institute’ probably brought in quite a few Plant Superpower Users to help stimulate growth, judging by the looks of it, they stimulate growth at least twice daily? They probably also added some nutrients containing Life Force?"

The so-called "Special Plant Research Institute" was a subordinate of the Superpower Research Institute.

Back then, various institutes within the research center competed over the Weather Tree, but in the end, the Special Plant Research Institute came out on top.

The captain was full of admiration: "Mr. Yang, you have a keen eye. For the past month, the institute stimulated growth three times a day, then adjusted to twice a day."

Ling Shuiling asked a question: "Why the adjustment?"

The captain replied, "Too many stimulations aren’t beneficial and would have a counterproductive effect."

This officer actually didn’t fully understand the reason, so his explanation was somewhat vague.

Yang Fan explained very clearly: "Whether ordinary or special plants, the essence of their growth is the continuous proliferation of cells.

"The difference lies in the fact that the cells of special plants contain supernatural energy, and the emergence of supernatural energy is closely linked to the soul.

"If overstimulated, the physical size of the special plant will grow rapidly, but the soul’s growth will lag quite a bit, resulting in significantly low energy in each cell.

"For such phenomena, in layman’s terms, it’s malnutrition."

The captain gave a thumbs up: "As expected of a professional, Mr. Yang explained it much better than I could. No wonder you could cultivate the magical Weather Tree."

Ling Shuiling, quite curious, further asked: "What are the consequences of malnutrition?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yang Fan answered again: "If malnutrition lasts too long, it will severely weaken the Weather Tree’s potential. It’s like a sprinter who could achieve a 10-second 100-meter dash with proper training but can’t even run an 11-second 100-meter dash without proper training."

Ling Shuiling finally understood: "I see."

She asked again: "By the way, what anomaly happened to the Weather Tree?"

The captain said: "Swipe the tablet; there’s a video after it."

Yang Fan tapped a few times, and the video started playing.

The Weather Tree itself hadn’t changed, but the surrounding cloud bands had visibly transformed.

They became micro cyclones, shaped like mini tornadoes, rotating in the air and moving around the greenhouse.

"Woo~"

The whistling sound filled the greenhouse, sounding somewhat piercing.

There was no fan in the greenhouse, yet airflow was generated out of thin air, which was an incredible phenomenon.

Ling Shuiling was taken aback, couldn’t help but say: "Is the Capital about to experience a strong wind?"

She interpreted the cyclones as an omen for windy weather.

In extreme cold conditions, the damage caused by a strong wind might rival that of an extreme cold impact.

The captain shook his head: "Miss Ling, things might not be that simple."

Just after saying this.

The video changed again.

"Woo~"

The whistling sound quickly diminished.

The cloud cyclones dissipated one after another, and a light mist enveloped the greenhouse.

The Weather Tree began to change.

Starting from the leaves, a thin layer of white Frost appeared out of thin air, covering each leaf.

Then the Frost spread to the branches, then moved to the trunk, until it covered the entire tree.

In just five seconds.

The dark Weather Tree completely transformed into a pure white tree of Frost.

Ling Shuiling sharply inhaled, finally realizing something was very wrong: "My God, could there be a major disaster?"

Back when the Weather Tree was still at Celestial Star Company, the female secretary visited it almost every day, and the tree had never transformed into this state.

The captain said with a serious expression: "The Special Plant Research Institute also tends to believe that a major disaster is about to erupt, but we can’t be sure what type of disaster it will be.
