The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"My Lord, what should we do?!"

"My Lord, I can see from the sky... the surface of the sea is starting to bubble!"

"Sir, although the temperature of the fighter jet is not as high as that in the warship, it is almost reaching the limit. If it gets any higher, it will affect normal operation and may even cause a crash!"

"Oh no, sir, my fighter has a fault code!"

……

Unlike the hail that the Maple Leaf Country encountered, the problem faced by Neon Country was that the sea water suddenly became hot, even boiling!

Hearing this, Junpei Tianyi frowned, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

I don't know if it's because of the depression or the heat, but my breathing became rapid and difficult.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something.

"I see!" Jun Ping Tianyi shouted into the communicator, "We must be at the crater of an underwater volcano that is about to erupt!"

"As long as we can evacuate quickly, we'll be fine!"

He had encountered a similar thing decades ago when he was a private.

But that time was too long ago, and the situation was not as critical as it is now.

If he hadn't unleashed all his potential at this critical moment, he would probably never have thought of such a thing.

After recalling that long-sealed memory, he firmly believed that what he was experiencing now was exactly the same as what he had experienced decades ago - encountering a volcano on the seabed that was about to erupt!
Jun Ping Tianyi's words were like a bucket of ice water poured on the hearts of the people in charge of every warship and every fighter.

They suddenly felt that the surroundings were not so hot anymore and they calmed down a lot.

"Understood, sir, we will move immediately!"

"Yes, sir, I got it!"

"So that's how it is, sir, we got it!"

……

Listening to the noisy feedback coming from the communicator, Junpei Tianyi did not waste any time.

In his opinion, this is a race against time.

"We must be quick!" He encouraged himself, "As long as we get out of the range of the volcanic eruption, we can survive!"

He moved quickly to the other side of the console and reached for the joystick.

However, just as he grabbed the joystick, a sound like water splashing on hot stones in a sauna was heard.

“Sizzle——!!!!”

"what!!!!"

A scream followed. Junpei Tianyi suddenly withdrew his hands and looked at his palms.

The skin had burst where it had touched the joystick, and the edges had even turned brown, as if it was cooked.

The dark red flesh was completely exposed to the air, and the entire palm looked mottled and extremely terrifying.

It turned out that the high temperature inside the cabin had been transmitted to the control console, raising the temperature of the joystick to a level that was untouchable.

"This... What should I do?!" Countless thoughts flashed through Jun Ping Tianyi's mind in an instant, "I can't even touch the joystick, how can I let the warship escape from this sea area?!"

At this moment, screams continued to be heard from the communication channel.

Junpei Tianyi's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out, but he knew that he must not collapse.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to giving up the chance of survival.

"Burn? What's wrong with being burned? What's wrong with having your hands broken?" He shouted, "Compared to your hands and your life, which one is more important? What's more, you are now holding the lives of all the soldiers on a warship or a fighter plane! Can't so many lives be defeated by your own hands?!"

"Just grit your teeth and hold on!" Jun Ping Tian Yi said, taking a deep breath, staring at the joystick with his eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

That's right, he will lead by example and show the people in charge of every warship and every fighter jet with his actions!

"Baka!!!" Jun Pingtian yelled, then stretched out his hands without hesitation and gripped the joystick tightly.

Suddenly, the intense and burning pain rushed through his hands and straight to the top of his head again.

But this time, even though his face flushed instantly, his eyes almost popped out, the veins on his head bulged, and his body trembled constantly, he still did not loosen his hands that were tightly gripping the joystick.

"what!!!!!!"

"what!!!!"

……

The heart-wrenching roar continued in the cockpit.

Junpei and Tianyi manipulated the joystick with difficulty, controlling the warship to turn around in the sea area where there was no problem when it came.

Just as he completed this series of operations and the warship just turned around, he suddenly felt the intense and burning pain disappear in an instant.

Instead, there was a hint of coldness.

"What's going on?" A series of question marks involuntarily popped up in Jun Ping Tian Yi's mind, "Everything has its limits? It was so hot... and now I can actually feel the coolness?"

At this moment, the voices of the people in charge of every warship and every fighter plane came to his ears.

"Hey? What's going on? Why did the temperature drop suddenly?"

"Yeah, it was just a moment, and it's so cool now?"

"Sir, didn't you say that it was because of an undersea volcano that was about to erupt? What's the situation now?"

"Has the underwater volcano already erupted? But nothing happened to us?"

"Could it be that the location of the underwater volcano eruption is still far away from here, so it didn't affect us?"

"No way? How can the seawater have such a high temperature without affecting us? What's the temperature at the location of the eruption? Wouldn't it melt the steel directly?"

"What should we do now, sir? Should we turn back? Or should we continue on our way?"

"Yes, sir, what should we do now?"

……

It turns out that just now...

The commanders of every warship and every fighter plane heard the heart-wrenching cry of Jun Ping Tianyi on the communication channel and witnessed his warships completing the turn with difficulty. Their hearts were deeply touched, as if they were inspired by an invisible force.

Their blood instantly rushed to their heads, and they no longer hesitated, determined to carry out Jun Ping Tian Yi's previous order - to complete the turn at all costs!

Although they were prepared for the possibility of their hands being disabled, something unexpected happened the moment they touched the joystick.

They did not feel the burning heat again, but instead, like Jun Ping Tian Yi, they felt an inexplicable chill. This sudden feeling shocked them, so they immediately started communicating on the communication channel.

At this time, Junpei Tianyi heard their conversation, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and stared at his hands, with a complicated look on his face, as if he had suffered a great blow.

His hands were swollen beyond recognition, no different from pig's trotters, and the color had changed from dark yellow to purple-red, with tiny blue blood vessels clearly visible. The skin on the palms had long since fallen off, revealing dark red flesh covered with light brown scabs.

"Baka!" Junpei Tianyi roared, "Why did the temperature start to drop only after I suffered such great pain? Why couldn't it drop earlier?" He felt like a clown, and the pain in his hands was far less than the mental torture.

However, with his strong psychological quality and strong adjustment ability, he quickly regained his sanity and realized that all the warships and fighter planes were waiting for his command.

"I'm sorry, everyone," Junpei said, "Maybe I made a mistake. This isn't a sign of an undersea volcanic eruption, but just a strong tidal change. So, there's no need to turn. Everything should be fine. Let's continue to move forward to our original location!"

He suppressed his depression and anger and issued an order through the communicator.

After saying this, he stretched out his trembling hands, which were already unsightly, and grabbed the joystick with trembling hands, preparing to turn the warship back again after just completing the turn.

The moment Jun Ping Tianyi touched the joystick, a chill even colder than before seeped into his body from his palm, causing him to shiver.

He muttered in his mind: "Is it an illusion? Or is it because my hands have become too sensitive due to swelling?"

He stopped preparing to turn around and began to ask others through the communicator: "Fleet personnel, do you feel that the temperature in the cabin is too low? Fleet personnel, when you look at the sea surface from the air, do you find anything unusual?"

The previous experience left a deep shadow on him, making him dare not take risks easily. He must make sure everything is correct before taking the next step.

As soon as the voice fell, a series of responses came from the communication channel: "Sir, I feel a little cold too, but it may be an illusion caused by the temperature difference caused by the previous heat."

"My Lord, the temperature is within normal range."

"Sir, there is nothing unusual on the sea."

"My Lord, I have no problem here either."

After hearing their feedback, Junpei and Tianyi gradually let down their guard.

"It seems that I am worrying too much," he thought to himself, "If there is really a problem, it is impossible that so many people think it is fine."

So he stopped hesitating and began to maneuver the warship around.

The roar of the warship's engine echoed on the sea, and the warship slowly turned around.

However, just as the warship was about to turn around completely, a surprised and panicked voice suddenly came from the cockpit: "No, something is wrong!"

This sentence was like a fuse, instantly igniting the tension of others.

"Sir, a low temperature alarm has been issued on the warship. Many instruments cannot operate because it is too cold!"

“It’s so cold, it feels like I’m at the North or South Pole!”

"Sir, there seems to be ice on the sea!"

"Sir, the fighter's detection system shows that the air velocity around us is getting slower and slower, creating huge resistance. It will soon be unsuitable for flying!"

For a moment, panicked feedback came from the commanders of warships and fighter planes.

The expression on Jun Ping Tianyi's face became extremely rich, with emotions such as pain, regret, anger, fear, and worry intertwined.

In fact, when he was controlling the warship to turn around, he gradually felt his hands getting colder and colder, penetrating deep into his bones.

However, since there had been no unusual sounds in the communicator, and combined with the feedback from others before, he thought that this feeling was just his own illusion.

Now, he stopped maneuvering the warship to turn around and subconsciously looked outside through the glass.

On the sea, the vast expanse of white has turned into a light blue, and the air is no longer filled with mist, but with tiny ice crystals that emit a faint light blue glow under the sunlight.

Large chunks of ice continued to gather and form, floating in the ice-filled sea water, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Baka!" Jun Ping Tianyi roared, "When it was warm just now, at least we could control the warship to leave! Now even if we can withstand this icy cold, judging by the speed at which the sea is freezing, the warship will definitely not be able to leave!"

He thought that he had had the opportunity to leave this strange sea area just now, but now it was too late to regret.

At this moment, the voice in the communication channel became more and more panicked: "Cold, cold, cold, too cold! I'm wrapped up like a bear, why am I still so cold?"

"The clothes can't resist the cold at all. It can penetrate into the body!"

"I'm freezing to death, it's so cold!"

Listening to the devastated words of the commanders of every warship and every fighter plane, Jun Ping Tianyi wanted to get angry, but he knew in his heart that anger would not solve any problems, but would only accelerate the progress of the collapse and make people panic.

"Don't panic!" He shouted loudly into the communicator, "What's there to panic about? We survived the hot weather just now! Why should we be afraid of this cold weather? Maybe if we hold on for a while, this cold weather will disappear on its own like the heat before! We will be able to escape danger! Calm down!"

His words were like a shot of sedative, making the commanders of every warship and every fighter plane feel much more at ease.

"Indeed!"

"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"

"Everything is possible, we need to hold on to hope!"

"We will be safe!" they comforted themselves.

The big stone in their hearts seemed to have fallen to the ground, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency is right, the flame of hope cannot be extinguished!"

"This difficult time will eventually pass, so stay calm and hold on!"

"Come on, come on, we will definitely get through this!"

……

For a moment, the communication channel was filled with trembling but firm voices of encouragement.

Jun Ping Tian listened and nodded in satisfaction involuntarily.

However, the good times didn’t last long…

His brows furrowed.

“Although everyone is full of hope now…”

"but……"

"This doesn't really solve our current problem!"

"We have to find out what's going on!"

“And find a solution!”

"But……"

"What on earth is going on?" Even Jun Ping Tianyi, who has decades of rich experience...

Never encountered...

Such extreme weather!
It's either suffocatingly hot or bone-chillingly cold!
When it was hot, he could still find similar situations - such as underwater volcanic eruptions.

but……

This cold now...

He really has no clue!
At this moment, the voices of encouragement in the communicator suddenly changed.

"Ah, what's going on? My hands are stuck to the console and I can't get them off!"

"Mine too, looks like it's frozen to the metal!"

"It's no use. The engine of my warship seems to have stopped working. It keeps rumbling and making a loud noise, as if it is about to explode!" (End of this chapter)
