Hearing Lin Zhen’s self-introduction, Su Na was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at him carefully a few times, and suddenly said excitedly, “Wow! You’re really Lin Zhen, I didn’t recognize you just now, you look more handsome in person than in the video!”

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, “I didn’t recognize you either just now.”

Su Na grabbed Lin Zhen’s hand, “Do you know? I even planned to interview you. I came to Zhao Dong this time, hoping to meet you. I never thought my wish would actually come true!”

Lin Zhen slowly pulled his hand back, “I don’t really have anything worth interviewing. The life of a martial artist is pretty much the same, fighting and killing.”

“I don’t think so. There are differences between martial artists. I saw the video of you defeating the Russians, and although I don’t know what level you are, I admire your actions.”

Lin Zhen laughed and changed the subject, “Why did you guys come here?”

“Our bureau chief insisted on discussing the so-called ‘Zhao Dong threat theory’. He asked me to do a special episode on Zhao Dong, so we came here. It should have been safe. You know, our news bureau’s interview vehicles are all modified from main battle tanks, and even B -level Mutant Beasts can’t break them. But we just ran into a blizzard, got out of the car, and met that eagle. It’s a pity Old Wang didn’t make it…”

Su Na’s eyes were a bit red, and Lin Zhen didn’t ask any further. These war reporters were different from martial artists. They didn’t have much strength, but they still had to wander around outside, which was actually quite dangerous.

Su Na also felt that crying wouldn’t solve anything, so she said to Lin Zhen,

“Since we’ve met you, we can’t let you leave now. Come in. We’ve made some food, but neither of us have much appetite.”

Lin Zhen looked at the blizzard outside and thought it was not a good time to leave, so he simply followed Su Na and the cameraman, Gao Feng, into the room.

There was a smell of delicious food inside, and the two of them were actually cooking instant noodles.

Su Na had a backpack, which contained a few wooden bowls. When she took out a bowl and gave it to Lin Zhen, he was somewhat speechless.

As a martial artist, he always carried things that were simple and convenient when he went out. He would never carry bowls and chopsticks. It seemed that men and women were really different.

Su Na ate noodles and looked at the snow outside, “This time, we were wrong. We came to Zhao Dong for the news, but we never expected this blizzard to come so suddenly. I’m afraid we won’t be able to return to Base City for a while. ”

Gao Feng lowered his head and said, “It seems not only us are stuck here. Our location is on the edge of Zhao Dong, and I haven’t seen any vehicles passing by today. The martial artists in Zhao Dong are basically still here, and no one can leave.”

Su Na nodded, ‘Yes, after this blizzard, it’s hard to tell how many people will be left in Zhao Dong. The number of martial artists in other city districts near Base City is not as high as in Zhao Dong. It seems that another Zhao Dong tragedy is about to happen.”

As the city district closest to Base City, there were a large number of Mutated Beasts in Zhao Dong, and the number of martial artists there was the highest. Now that they were trapped by the blizzard, there were probably at least a hundred martial artists still in Zhao Dong, which was no small number.

Su Na asked Lin Zhen again, “Did you encounter any mutated birds on your way here?”

Lin Zhen nodded, “Yes, I did.”

“Wow! You actually made it here, you’re really lucky. If you ran into that eagle, you’d be in big trouble.”

Lin Zhen smiled and said nothing. He didn’t bother to show off to people like them.

Su Na continued, “Old Wang said that those Mutated Birds all flew out of Zhao Dong Building. That place is originally their nest, but today it’s too cold, and the location of Zhao Dong Building is too high, making the temperature even lower. Even those birds couldn’t stand it and flew out.”

Lin Zhen looked up at the window, where, amidst the snowstorm, the faint outline of a tall building could be seen in the distance.

Zhao Dong Building, a 36 -story building, was originally built as a landmark in Zhao Dong during the AD era. However, before it could be completed, the Leo Meteor Shower arrived.

This building only had floors and supporting columns, even the walls weren’t constructed. However, because of this, the building had an incredible ability to withstand earthquakes, and it has remained standing all these years.

Due to its elevated location, it became the nest for mutated birds. But it was precisely because the building had no walls that the fierce gales at high altitudes roared with incredibly low temperatures. Even the mutated birds couldn’t stand this weather and flew out, which spelled bad luck for Su Na and the others.

Su Na looked at Lin Zhen without speaking, her large eyes spinning, and then she said to Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, how about this? Both of us lack real strength, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to complete any task on our own. In the meantime, you can temporarily become our bodyguard to protect us, and we will do an exclusive interview for you, ensuring its popularity, so you can become even more famous throughout Ice City!”

Lin Zhen couldn’t help but laugh: “I’m a martial artist, not an entertainment star, why would I need to become famous?”

“It’s not the same! Nowadays, martial artists are the best stars. And I promise that I will make the show especially good for you. You should know I’m also your fan. When you become more famous, you can make more money. Isn’t martial artist the most money-consuming profession? And I promise we won’t interfere with your actions. Our car is very safe, even War General-level martial artists and B-level Mutant Beasts cannot damage it by external forces.”

Lin Zhen admired Su Na’s professionalism and persuasive words, but he really didn’t want to go on any shows. So, he reluctantly said to her: “You don’t need to do the interview. I may have conflicts with others when I come to Zhao

Dong, but before that, if you encounter any dangers and I happen to be around, I will try my best to protect you. I am not your bodyguard, though, and this is just an obligation.”

“No problem, no problem, let’s agree on that!”

Su Na grinned contentedly and snapped her fingers at Gao Feng: ‘Gao Feng, did you record that? An exclusive face-to-face interview with Ice City’s No. 1 warrior! This opportunity is very rare.”

Over there, Gao Feng showed an OK gesture to Su Na, “All set! Both of you look great on camera, handsome guy, and beautiful girl, and it’s super authentic. If we had some more material and made a video, it would surely be a hit.”

It was then Lin Zhen noticed that there was actually a small camera on Gao Feng’s pocket. He had not noticed it because he was relaxed; technology was indeed impressive and useful nowadays.

Lin Zhen forced a bitter smile: “Is it necessary to be so secretive? I thought you would use a camera or a phone.”

Su Na waved her hand: “Phones are useless. They are affected by the weather. The signal was terrible when Gao Feng tried earlier. Right now, there probably isn’t any signal left. If you don’t believe me, take out your phone and check. At this point, all the martial artists in Zhao Dong are cut off from the outside world, and only our camera connected to the radar signal in our car can make contact with the outside world.”

Lin Zhen took out his phone to check, and the signal was indeed gone. The snowstorm had indeed caused quite an impact; even phones could not be used.

Meanwhile, Su Na took out her own phone as well. However, when she looked at her phone, she let out a surprised gasp.

Gao Feng asked: ‘What’s wrong, Su Na?”

Su Na held her phone with the screen facing Lin Zhen and Gao Feng: “What is this? I received this when I still had a signal.”

Lin Zhen looked closely, and saw there was a message on Su Na’s phone screen.

“Zhao Dong Region Wild Assassination Order, now offering a reward of 30 billion for killing Lin Zhen. All warriors in Zhao Dong Region who can take down Lin Zhen can redeem this reward.”

A Wild Assassination Order like this was popular among martial artists. It was illegal, but as long as it didn’t cause too much trouble, it was fine. Whoever could issue such a reward order first had to have enough account funds to do so, so it was basically guaranteed to be fulfilled.

Without a doubt, the only one who could do this was Li Tianhao. Gao Feng quickly took out his own phone, only to find he had received the same message.

Lin Zhen checked his own phone but did not receive such a message. It seemed that Li Tianhao had sent it to everyone in the Zhao Dong region before the phones lost their signals.

Thirty billion, he was really willing to spend!
