Chu Feng paid no heed to Tonya's actions; instead, he quickly entered the room and looked out the window. Countless white snowflakes, driven by the gale, swirled past. The howling wind even penetrated the hotel's thick, soundproof glass to reach his ears. Amidst the overwhelming blizzard, he could barely make out the building opposite the hotel. This was clearly a sudden snowstorm.

The temperature is dropping rapidly! As frost slowly formed on the window, a solemn look flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. A city besieged by a blizzard… this isn't a good sign! Even if people wanted to leave now, they probably can't.

He placed his hand on the glass, feeling the faint chill. His fingers gently tapped the surface—TAP-TAP-TAP—and he listened to the sound against his fingernails, remaining silent. How was this Bizarre phenomenon achieved? To create such extreme weather, either someone possesses immense power—someone I currently stand no chance against, forcing me to find any means of escape if confronted—or the other party has an item that can influence the weather. Otherwise, there's no explaining what's happening in this city. Another possibility is some kind of Array. However, to create such a significant weather effect, the Array would require an enormous number of offerings. Based on the information I have, there haven't been any reports of large numbers of people going missing recently.

As for other possibilities… His thoughts suddenly turned to Satan's game—the Zodiac Rings. No, that shouldn't be possible. The rings can't be developing that quickly! He shook his head, dismissing the sudden idea. I've already obtained one Zodiac Ring. If I get a few more, Satan will likely target me, and that wouldn't be good.

"Mr. Chu Feng, a blizzard has suddenly hit, and the hotel's electrical facilities are damaged. We're still repairing them, so please feel free to rest in your room for now!" Outside, Tonya finished her phone call. Standing at the entrance, she offered a brief explanation to Chu Feng, then closed the door and left. Faced with the sudden blizzard and after seeking instructions, she had no choice but to reluctantly abandon her original plan to have Chu Feng go out.

Standing by the window, Chu Feng listened to Tonya's words, then merely glanced at the floor, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. Heh, interesting! However, it doesn't really concern me.

Meanwhile, no one else in the hotel realized that in the power distribution room, two levels down in the basement, the maintenance staff had only made some noise when they first entered. Afterward, all sounds of their work ceased. Whenever the hotel manager inquired about the situation below, a voice would reply through the walkie-talkie, amidst CRACKLING static, "Still... not... not ready... just... wait..."

「Before long, it was six in the evening.」

The snowstorm outside showed no signs of stopping, its howling wind somewhat resembling the piercing screams of humans. The ordinary people still inside the hotel had all taken refuge in their rooms, deeply regretting not leaving the city earlier. The hotel's power had still not been restored. As night fell and the light outside faded, the entire hotel slowly sank into darkness.

After Chu Feng had enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, someone suddenly knocked on his door. "Mr. Chu Feng, it's time. You should depart now!" The voice from outside wasn't Tonya's; instead, it was a slightly deeper male voice.

Already dressed, Chu Feng opened the door to find a middle-aged, blond-haired man in a black suit standing outside. Chu Feng recognized him; he had seen this man yesterday at the hotel's main entrance, one of those waiting in the crowd.

"Are you sure you want to carry out the mission tonight? The blizzard outside is still raging!" Standing in the corridor, Chu Feng could still faintly hear the piercing howl of the cold wind from beyond the window. Why on earth choose this particular time? he wondered.

Hearing Chu Feng's question, a trace of doubt also appeared in the man's eyes. But his superior's cold command still echoes in my ears, he thought, and I have no right to object. "Mr. Chu Feng, please!"

Seeing the man's expression remain unchanged, Chu Feng could only purse his lips and head for the stairwell. After all, the hotel's power still hasn't been restored! The two descended the stairs and stood in the pitch-dark hotel lobby, staring intently at the howling blizzard outside.

"Who's taking me?" Although this dreadful weather can't affect me, having to work in these conditions is still inexplicably irritating! Chu Feng thought, his mood turning slightly foul.

"Please wait a moment. The vehicles that were temporarily dispatched should be arriving soon!" The man had barely finished speaking when several dazzling beams of light suddenly pierced the darkness outside the hotel, slowly drawing closer. A few moments later, a convoy led by a snowplow slowly came to a halt in front of the hotel. Trailing behind the snowplow were three dark green Military armored personnel carriers. At the very rear of the convoy was another snowplow, which was slowly turning around.

"Mr. Chu Feng, please get in quickly!" Seeing that the door of the first armored personnel carrier was already open, the man impatiently urged Chu Feng to board, as if there were some pressing emergency.

Noting it was already past seven in the evening, Chu Feng didn't delay further. He readily stepped out of the hotel's main entrance, a golden glow emanating from his body, shielding him from the howling wind and snow as he briskly approached the personnel carrier. As the doors of the personnel carrier closed, the lead snowplow and the carrier Chu Feng was in immediately set off, heading east from the hotel.

After they departed, a dozen or so figures emerged one by one from the hotel entrance. They too braved the howling wind and snow, struggling through the deep drifts towards the remaining two armored personnel carriers. Once these figures had disappeared into the carriers, the vehicles departed in sequence, and silence descended upon the area around the hotel building.

"So, this is the place?" Chu Feng, having just disembarked from the personnel carrier, chuckled softly as he looked at the brightly lit, bustling building before him, which soared over twenty stories high.

With a flip of his hand, an exquisitely crafted Array Plate instantly appeared. Just six hours, Chu Feng thought. The Spiritual Power stored within the Four Symbols Spirit Trapping Formation should be sufficient! With a gentle upward toss of his right hand, Chu Feng sent the exquisite Array Plate soaring high into the air.

Then, the people inside the building suddenly realized that the howling wind and snow outside their windows had vanished!

"The heavy snow outside has stopped!"

"It really stopped! Do you think... could it be that... that thing has been dealt with?"

"Let's wait until after eight o'clock tonight and see!"

As discussions buzzed and the entire building filled with a clamor, someone finally noticed that something was amiss.
