An extreme cold disaster strikes, sending global temperatures plunging to minus eighty degrees Celsius and bringing humanity to the brink of extinction.
After Lu Chen awakens the [Planetary Ecosystem Fortress] System, he connects its core, the "Constant-Temperature Energy Crystal," to an underground shelter. For three whole years, he single-handedly keeps the shelter heated and its water purified, protecting a thousand survivors.
Because the core is detached from his own fortress, he can't activate his mobile doomsday stronghold. He appears to have no combat abilities, so everyone sees him as an ordinary man.
When food runs short, the shelter's leaders join forces with Lu Chen's ex-girlfriend to hold a public vote:
"Lu Chen has no combat abilities and doesn't go out to search for supplies. He just freeloads, a parasite! We propose kicking him out to save food!"
All thousand survivors vote in favor! His ex-girlfriend even strips off his winter coat in front of everyone and shoves him into the blizzard, where the temperature is minus one hundred degrees.
Watching everyone gloat through the crack in the door, Lu Chen sneers and remotely hits [Force Recall Core]!
"I gave you this warmth. Now I'm taking it back."
Crack! Boom!
The shelter's power cuts out instantly. The heating stops, the water freezes, and a raging, age-old cold sweeps through the underground city!
The people who were celebrating just a moment ago are now freezing until their skin splits, screaming in agony!
Meanwhile, amid the snowstorm, a hundred-meter-tall mobile steel fortress bursts through the snow behind Lu Chen, now brimming with energy! The floors are warm, and the hot pot is boiling.
When his ex-girlfriend, frozen like a dead dog, kneels in the snow and pounds frantically on the door, begging for a mouthful of hot water, Lu Chen sips hot wine and says coldly, "Get lost. Freeze to death for all I care, just don't dirty my territory."
The premise is set right from the start: a man living in a post-apocalyptic world unsuspectingly donates his very means of survival to others, only to be driven out like a stray dog by a group of uninformed people and a few ungrateful wretches. Playing the fool to deceive others is truly absurd.
The idea was absolutely brilliant. But the AI-generated version was utterly terrible.
