Chapter 682: The Man on the Ice Plains
After Lin Rui finished the sentence, the people in the conference room looked over. The view of this snow field is not special for people like them, and the cold is not itchy for them. So Lin Rui offered to go for a walk, and everyone else was somewhat confused, especially now that there is a good chance of finding the Rubik's Cube.
“Ha ha! Actually, I'd love to go out too! Phantom Knight, why don't we go together?” As everyone looked at Lin Rui, the Iceman suddenly opened his mouth with a smile.
Icemen can feel the comfort they don't have anywhere else in an environment like this as opposed to the aesthetic fatigue of other people for that thousand stories out there. While the Iceman's abilities are brought to him by a special mutant human gene in the body, the external environment can also influence changes in his abilities. Just like in the desert and on an ice field like this, there must be a huge gap in the strength of the iceman. So the Ice Man wanted to go out on the waves.
“Absolutely!” Lin Rui said yes with a smile when he heard the Iceman.
“Well, you're free to arrange the rest of your time, but you still have to carry the necessary equipment. If anything happens here, I hope you'll be back in no time.” Captain Rogers also knew these men could not afford it when the Rubik's Cube was not found and the situation on the side of the space portal was unclear.
“Don't worry, we won't lose it. Let's go, Phantom Knight!” After Rogers had finished, the Iceman had risen from his seat and walked to Lin Rui in a few steps.
“Well, then, I'll leave it to you.” He nodded and Lin Rui stood up. Before turning around, Lin Rui said a word to Harry beside him.
“Got it. ”
Lin Rui then left the conference room with some excited ice men, and the rest of them separated. In addition to Lin Rui and the Iceman going out to play in the snow, the storm woman went out alone shortly after the Iceman left, and she could learn something new in such an environment. And Rogers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are trying to stay close to the space portal, and Captain Rogers won't look as relaxed as Lin Rui.
……
Ten minutes later, Lin Rui and the Iceman, who were already far away from S.H.I.E.L.D. 's temporary base, walked randomly on a bleak snowy field.
Phew ~
The cold winds of Siberia's ice fields and the snowy winds kept blowing by them. However, Lin Rui and the Iceman were safe and sound without the slightest cold wind.
“Iceman, you're wasting your time releasing the absolute frozen field!” Looking at the ice man beside him, Lin Rui spoke with some confusion.
The winds on the Siberian ice sheet can't blow Lin Rui. They're not blocked by Lin Rui's outward inner force, but the Iceman directly released his absolute frozen field. In the Iceman's domain, the cold winds do not affect them in the slightest. However, the temperature in the absolute ice seal field will never be warmer than the outside world.
“Ha ha, I certainly wouldn't have released the field anywhere else. But here, even the field of release is not too much for me.” Hearing Lin Rui's words, the Iceman answered with a smile.
“Besides, the environment here gives me some strength to work out. ”
This is also one reason why the Iceman will come to Siberia, where, in addition to tracking the clues of the Cube, the environment allows the Iceman to exercise his abilities. After all, his nickname Iceman is not random.
Compared to other mutants with lower levels of mutation, the Ice Man has a few differences among these mutants with very high levels of mutation. People with low mutation levels, their mutant abilities don't get much stronger from when they wake up to adulthood. But the ability of people with higher levels of mutation, not only to awaken more as adults, can also be enhanced in some other special way.
There are many ways in which mutant abilities can be enhanced, the most common and undoubtedly the simplest is with drugs that are specifically targeted at mutants. The world has long developed drugs that suppress and even eliminate mutant genes, and there are obviously drugs that enhance mutant genes. However, not only are there few types of drugs, but they are also not particularly effective at temperatures, and there are frequent accidents. And Stryker's team has been working on this drug, and his mutants are his experiments.
In addition to drugs, there are ways to stimulate re-awakening to enhance the ability of a mutant, which normally can only be awakened once in a mutant's life. But it was later discovered that in exceptional circumstances, mutants could be re-awakened. Secondary awakenings have a great chance of increasing the power of mutants, but they also have a great chance of diminishing or disappearing mutant abilities.
And besides that, there's another way to improve your mutant abilities, like the Ice Man, who's a very high-ranking mutant. That's influencing yourself through some of nature's environments, and then influencing your mutant genes. Iceman mutation, for example, falls into the category of cold ice, so he can use the cold here in Siberia to exercise his abilities.
“Oh!? It turns out that's the first time I know!” When I heard the Iceman's answer, Lin Rui's eyes lit up and said it with some surprise.
In Lin Rui's original impression, the mutant's abilities seemed to have been limited from the beginning. Anyone who is strong or weak can compare ranks at a glance. But now Lin Rui knows that mutant abilities can also be improved through exercise, which he didn't know before.
“What about you? What are you doing out here, Phantom Knight? You don't always want to work yourself out in this shitty environment. If that's the case, my field could be narrowed down a little bit.” After answering Lin Rui's words, the Iceman looked around and asked with a smile the Phantom Knight surrounded by his realm.
Buzz ~
As he spoke, the absolute frozen field released from the Iceman began to shrink, looking to expose Lin Rui.
“Oh, no! No! I don't need a cold breeze exercise outside, I just wanted to come out and walk for a while and a half.” One of my arms is already able to blow out the cold wind. Lin Rui hastily said.
“Is that it?” The Iceman obviously does not believe in Lin Rui's answer.
Buzz ~
In the next second, Lin Rui's entire population has been exposed from the absolute frozen realm. Even though Lin Rui was wearing a phantom suit, he was still a little swayed by the cold wind on the Siberian ice sheet.
