Chapter 64 The Gift of the Forerunner
"If you, or you, need to use this room, it means that your situation is not very good." The texture of the parchment paper is full of old atmosphere and looks to be stored for many years, but the handwriting on it is still clear: "I don't know what you are doing, but it is obvious that at least you have not received help from the ice crystals, and you have even gotten lost on the ice field. I hope the situation you encounter is not the latter, otherwise the danger will be too high. If you have a directional positioning device, it is the shortest way from here to the direction of 21:30 degrees southeast, and there are still 247 kilometers away from walking out of the ice field. Judging from the movement speed on the ice field, it will take about four to five days. Of course, this is the calculation method under the premise that you have not lost your direction. I hope this information will be useful to you."
"I'm sorry, pioneer." Freya sighed and said to herself with a wry smile: "I don't have that kind of device, and I don't know where the 21:30 is, and I'm even more unlikely to walk for four to five days, because there is not enough food and no clean water. But no matter what, I still have to thank you for your kindness. Please rest assured that I will put this letter back to my original position when I leave. I hope this house will provide timely help to adventurers who want to die like me in the future."
Freya shook her head and turned the parchment to the second page. The second page was still the beautiful and neat handwriting. She drew a cheerful smile from the beginning, which made the creator feel in a good mood: "Although 247 kilometers is a bit far, it is not enough and cannot be considered an insurmountable distance. If you are lost and cannot determine the exact direction, then just walk along the southeast direction and you can always walk out. Okay, the above content is for those lost adventure groups. If you are alone, please see below."
"Below?" Freya turned the parchment to the third page in confusion, in the same font: "If you are alone, then you are really unfortunate. You must have encountered a serious accident and separated from your teammates, but don't worry. Your teammates must also be looking for you anxiously. In this way, you should treat this place as your residence for the time being until your teammates follow the traces you left behind. If you are really a victim, I have prepared two gifts for you in this room. I hope it will be helpful to you. However, if you really use it, please return here in the future and add things so that when someone comes here again, you will not be unable to get the gift."
"Gift?" Freya looked around the house, and she didn't look like there was a gift everywhere: "Where is it? I hope it's not too difficult to find."
"The first gift is hidden under the ice wall on the left hand side after entering the house." Her concern was obviously a bit redundant, because the answer was quickly given on the parchment: "When entering the door, turn left. Walk two meters along the wall, lower your head, and look at the ground carefully, and you will see an insignificant bulge, where is the place to keep the first gift."
Following the instructions on the sheepskin, Freya soon discovered the bulge on the ground. This is a very inconspicuous square ice cube. It is a circular area with a diameter of about 80 cm, slightly higher than the surrounding ground. It is indeed very inconspicuous. If no one reminds me, it is difficult to find this abnormality due to the dim light. Looking at the raised areas carefully, there seems to be a layer of glue around the circular area. Separate the two layers of ice inside and outside so that they will not freeze together. There are two small round holes in the center of the raised areas, which just can accommodate two fingers.
The girl put her fingers in and lifted them up hard. A large round ice cube was very heavy. Fortunately, the strength of the legendary professional made her able to lift it up with two fingers. When she shone with a lantern, there was a package covered with several layers of animal skin under the ice cap. After taking it out and opening it, the girl was surprised to find that there was a small crystal energy stove inside. Although it was a small portable, it was enough for a person to keep warm. There were four or five crystal stones next to the stove, which could be used for about eight to ten hours.
"I thought so thoughtful." Even though Freya was very distressed about her death and was under great pressure, she couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Those alone are enough to support the victims for a few more days. This unknown friend is really kind. Unfortunately, there is no food. Even in this low-temperature environment, the food will deteriorate after being stored for decades, otherwise it would be perfect."
"How about it, you're very thoughtful." After turning a page of parchment, the person who wrote it seemed as if he could guess Freya's thoughts. He could see from himself that she was very happy to be able to help others: "Actually, this is not what I think, it's a fool's preparation. I just wrote them down, but you'll just treat your gratitude as for me. Hehe, I won't mind. Now I'm looking forward to the second gift, don't worry, the gift is just under the table, and the same characteristics are easy to find."
"I'm really looking forward to it." Freya nodded and followed the prompt to look over. Sure enough, another raised ice cap was found under the table. In the space below, there was also a package made of animal skin. When the girl put the package on the table and opened it, her face changed suddenly. There were four crystal bottles in the package, each bottle had a capacity of about one liter, and I don't know what was in it.
"You must be troubled by hunger. It's too difficult to find food on the ice field. Even that fool can't find it." The next page continued on parchment paper: "So we left this. The sealed honey is enough to be preserved for thousands of years and can be eaten. The wine is also becoming more and more mellow. Both can be used to replenish energy. This is the only food we can leave behind. Unfortunately, there is a little less honey and wine. Honey is what he left after cooking the food these days. The wine is secretly brought by me, and the quantity is not large. I can barely replenish it. I wish you a good appetite."
"Hu." Freya breathed deeply, and her right hand trembled slightly and picked up a bottle. With the light of the lantern, she could see the golden viscous liquid inside through the crystal. It was better to say that it was hope for survival than honey.
"Thank you very much." Freya did not open the bottle, but endured her hunger, took care of it and turned the bottle aside, turning the parchment over another page.
