Lan Nuo waved goodbye to the gang members who were chasing after him. But at this time, these loan shark gang members were furious and furious.
"Asshole, come back here! You defrauded us of so much money and you just want to get away like this."
The gangsters with machetes in their hands rushed out desperately, trying to stop several cars from leaving? However, although they were desperadoes, they were nothing compared to the light seekers. This group of people who dared to rush into the night were the real ones.
Desperate outlaws. In contrast, these people with machetes are just brave and fierce. The two sides are not on the same level at all.
Lan Nuo and the car passed through the shield together, and then drove towards the vast darkness. The chasing gang members stopped one by one in front of the shield and hesitated.
How dare they really get close to the night? Even with the protection of the talisman, who would dare to completely break away from the city's influence like the light seekers, and go deep into the remote and uninhabited place without anyone being able to rescue them?
within the area.
A group of gang members who had been given loans could only stomp on the spot angrily. This time they sincerely hope that the light seekers can come back alive. If they don't come back alive, the money owed to them may never be repaid.
.
But thinking about it on the other hand, if they really find a paradise, then as long as they can come back alive, it will be easy to pay back the money owed to them. There is nothing more valuable than a new paradise.
Two tracked tanks and two off-road vehicles were galloping in the wilderness, bright headlights illuminating the road ahead, and the footprints left by their predecessors in the distance could still be vaguely seen.
Looking back, the Twilight City has become a place on the horizon. Eggshells the size of eggs are only emitting a glimmer of light in the dark night, and the only sound in the wilderness is the roar of locomotives. These four cars have become a city.
It is the only living thing in this wilderness.
"If we work harder, with these vehicles, we should be able to cross the three camps today and go directly to the camp near the Rainbow Bridge in front, where we can resupply and see the remains left by the predecessors there.
Experience. Originally, our plan was to rely on the supplies left by these predecessors, follow the steps of our predecessors little by little, and find Asgard." As the only one among the people who had exploration experience, Wendell did his best to become the
Team leadership.
"It turns out that the previous exploration members also established a camp. But how could there be food storage in the camp?" Helena was a little confused: "The previous exploration team was also rich in materials like us. Can they leave enough resources for the subsequent exploration teams?
?”
Wendell shook his head: "No, the previous Light Seeker team searched on foot. Large steam mechas would be damaged quickly in the magic radiation environment, so they could carry very little supplies. At most, they relied on people to pull them over the shoulders.
You can carry some extra things like backpacks and trolleys, but that's the limit.
However, they will still build camps one by one and put their supplies in the camps. The main purpose is not to leave it to us, but to leave it for them to use when they return.
For an exploration like this, it is impossible to carry a large amount of supplies all the time. The best solution is to leave supplies for return along the way. In this way, the load on the body will become lower and lower as it advances.
When returning, there was almost no weight to carry, and it was only necessary to obtain the supplies left behind from one camp after another.
But what was the situation of the previous Lightseekers? I think everyone knows it. Most of the materials left behind were not consumed, because when they returned, either the entire army had been wiped out, or most of the people had been killed.
Died on the road.
Originally, our light-seeking trip might be our last, so my initial preparation was to directly consume the supplies left by our predecessors and make a desperate move, even if I could only see a glimpse of Asgard.
As for how to come back, if Asgard is really a land where we can live, then we will survive there and accumulate resources, and then we will explore back bit by bit along the campground.
But this time the situation was much better than I imagined. We will also take out some of the food and fuel and store it in the camp. This will reduce the vehicle's load and fuel consumption. It will be relatively more convenient when returning.
"
Everyone did not object to this. According to previous experience, the fuel and food they prepared were more than enough for one round trip. It was natural for part of it to be distributed in the camps along the way.
The surging magic radiation was constantly impacting the four roaring monsters, but it could not stop their progress. Precision electronic equipment or magical structures would be destroyed by the magic radiation, but the beast-like rough internal combustion engine and pure machinery
The structure of the transmission makes the magic energy radiation appear as weak as a baby, relying on the power of iron and fire to push the machine forward on the wild plains.
Finally they arrived in front of a huge teleportation facility, which was the Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall once guarded the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard and was in charge of the interconnection between the nine kingdoms, but now the most loyal
The guardian has fallen, and the transmission rules between the nine kingdoms have become chaotic again and solidified. If they want to go to Asgard, they must cross one kingdom after another.
The car stopped, everyone put on the power armor, and at the same time inserted the polishing talisman on the chest. The power of the talisman will be evenly distributed on the surface of the armor by the magic facilities on the mecha, protecting themselves with minimal consumption.
They got out of the car as if they were wearing space suits, took out some of the supplies evenly, and placed them in the camp.
Tanarosa, holding a lamp, found an old book that had not been destroyed by the radiation, which contained the records left by the forerunners.
"The 315th light-seeking operation, we have successfully arrived at the fifth camp. There are ninety-seven people in total, and ninety-three have arrived. Although Midgard is the country we are most familiar with, it is still full of dangers.
, 4 companions unfortunately died along the way.
We encountered a storm in the darkness, and they fell behind in the storm. Now, I am afraid the situation is in danger. I leave a record here. Latecomers, you may need a rope to connect to each other.
——Lightseeker Palma"
"The 152nd light-seeking operation was the largest light-seeking operation in the past 100 years. There were 511 people in total, and 460 people arrived. When we passed through the poisonous swamp,
We paid a heavy price. The toxins in the swamp cannot be resisted by the talisman. Latecomers must be careful. We have mapped the distribution area of the swamp. Please avoid this swamp area.
——Lightseeker Worthington"
"The thirty-fifth light-seeking operation, we finally arrived! When we set out, there were five hundred companions around me, but now there are only a few dozen people left. So we succeeded, we finally arrived.
The Rainbow Bridge and activated it. The scholar told me that the Rainbow Bridge leads to Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, but the scholar said that the environment there is completely different from Midgard. We may not be able to go back alive. But we will try our best.
If possible, record what you have seen and learned along the way, and those who come after you can also record it like us.
——Lightseeker Mist Code"
Lan Nuo saw a cemetery near the camp. There were many names engraved on the tombstones that were exactly the same as the names in the notebook. Perhaps many people were at the last moment of their lives, knowing full well that they had no chance to return.
I recorded all the experiences and lessons learned on my journey of searching for light in a notebook.
Generations after generations have made countless sacrifices to explore this path.
Tanarossa opened the notebook and started recording: "The 399th light-seeking operation, with a total of thirteen people, thirteen people arrived. Internal combustion engine vehicles will be of great help in exploring the dark night. If
We were unable to come back, so please bring this news back to the city-state.
——Tanarosa the Lightseeker"
Looking at the experiences and lessons left behind by countless ancestors, everyone couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. And in the near future, they may also become ancestors who will be remembered by future generations.
"Get ready to go. The next environment will be even worse. The giant country of Jotunheim is covered in yellow sand and the temperature is extremely high. Our car may not be able to withstand the harsh environment there." Wendell has already driven the car to the teleportation station.
On the array, based on the experience left by their predecessors, they activated the teleportation array. With a flash of white light, everyone felt a distortion of space. After feeling indescribable nausea, the environment in front of them suddenly changed.
Although it was pitch black here, it was no longer the wet and muddy wasteland before, but instead turned into a large desert. The raging hot wind blew in from the car windows, causing everyone to immediately roll up the windows.
Instantly raises the temperature inside the car.
"When we get here, the footprints of our predecessors can hardly help us. The sand dunes in the desert move all the time, and the footprints left by our predecessors will soon be covered by the sand dunes.
But the starlight will guide us. As long as we always move towards the fixed star in the sky, we can find the next rainbow bridge. But all the dangers during this period are unpredictable." Wendell drove the vehicle and took the lead.
At the front. This is also the most dangerous position. Once any danger occurs, the car in the front row will definitely be the first to suffer.
The wheels stirred up rolling yellow sand, and off-road vehicles and tracked chariots raced in the desert. However, the desert was desolate and silent. Only occasionally could you see the huge tentacles stretching out from the ground. Those huge roots like mountains were just like that.
They are the branches of the world tree Yugudorasil, but they look extremely dry, as if they have died.
Everyone stopped in front of a huge root, got out of the car one after another, picked up knives, and scraped off the bark on the surface of these dry branches. Although they have been weathered for many years, these barks are still good fuel. At the same time,
As long as there is a certain amount of water, Lanno can rely on these barks as raw materials to perform food-making techniques, converting the cell walls of these dried cells into starch. The vehicle does carry a lot of canned food, many foods with a long shelf life, but these
Things are not left for them to use now. If possible, they will naturally use improvised food to satisfy their hunger.
It is not easy to get water in the desert. Helena and Lan Nuo jointly cast ice spells, which condensed some water vapor in the air, allowing Lan Nuo to create a pot of batter for everyone.
.
"Originally, the desert in Jotunheim was one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome, because the desert dunes would continue to move during sandstorms, and any camps built along the way would be destroyed. We had to cross hundreds of kilometers at a time.
, only when you reach the Rainbow Bridge on the opposite side can you get rest and supplies in the new camp. Many previous exploration teams have been lost in this desert.
We have covered nearly half of the distance in such a short time, and the progress is really too fast." Wendel compared the difficulty of his last exploration and couldn't help but sigh.
Finally, he finished the tasteless dinner quickly and was about to clean the pots and pans a little when Lan Nuo's expression suddenly changed: "Everyone get in the car immediately! My reconnaissance drone encountered a sandstorm."
When they stopped, Lan Nuo actually did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he controlled fly-sized reconnaissance drones to monitor the surrounding environment, and one of the drones was not far behind them.
Encountered a sandstorm and was destroyed on the spot.
Everyone quickly got into the car, and several drivers who had practiced driving quickly started the car and started running on the desert. At this time, they also saw the sandstorm sweeping behind them. The billowing sandstorm was like a wall, heading towards
They were crushed and swallowed into the sandstorm, and they would probably die without a burial place.
Several drivers all stepped on the accelerator and the engines were running at full power, but the sandstorm behind them was still getting closer and closer.
Wendell was also sweating coldly. Their luck was not very good. If a normal Lightseeker team encountered a sandstorm of this scale, they would probably have been wiped out by this time.
Although they can still survive, the sandstorm is getting closer and closer. Once they are swallowed up, it will be their end.
"What should we do... Do we need to throw away the supplies in the car?" Wendel was about to order to throw away the supplies in the car and increase the speed as much as possible to get rid of the pursuit of the sandstorm.
But at this moment, Lan Nuo's voice appeared in the communication channel: "Don't panic, all drivers. Open the lid next to the handbrake on your right hand. There is a red button inside the lid. I said press it.
It’s time for everyone to press the button together.”
