"The most important thing is that there has been no follow-up action from the volcano base." This is a situation that many people are worried about.
It is impossible for them to face the airship. The two have never been on the same level. Their musket bullets cannot even penetrate the armor layer of the enemy airship, but can only splash a layer of fire on it.
Just sparks that shine but are powerless.
The team moved forward again for more than half a day. The blizzard continued to get stronger, and the wind refused to let up and began to howl again. The wind was so strong that it was no longer suitable for traveling, and the sky was quickly getting dark. Everyone felt that they were
Instead of walking in a mountain range, we are walking on a completely frozen glacier.
"There are many places like this on the Endless Sea. The climate there was originally very cold. A large area was covered with frozen soil. Heavy snow and strong winds are common. Now the situation in this mountain range is almost the same as there." Someone said.
The person who opened the mouth was a veteran who had stayed in the military base on the other side of the Endless Sea. "The equipment there is specially designed to withstand the cold. It is difficult enough to go out to perform tasks and patrol, let alone
Talk about what we are doing now."
The others sighed after hearing this. They hid in a slightly spacious depression, leaning against a few straight and strong trees. The snow in the depression had been cleared, and they were now burning solid fuel and using the shells.
Make an iron pot to boil hot water for drinking.
Cassia and the other two captains were busy pushing a few larger stones outside and built a simple windproof wall on the wind head of the pit. But the main function was not to prevent wind, but to prevent a large amount of snow from being blown away by the wind.
Bring it into the pit. The place to stay is not big. If you don't take precautions, it can easily be buried by a strong wind and snow in the middle of the night.
"It's probably a strong wind of level 7 or 8." The captain of the third team said, and the temporary windbreak wall was completed. The snow blown by the wind separated like water and piled up on both sides.
Under the snow and fog flying all over the sky, only a few meters away, the faces of the other two captains were already blurry.
"Winds of this level will affect our movements. Without walking close to the ground, those veterans can't walk at all. Let's wait until the wind stops. Major Barron and the others probably encountered the same problem. According to the agreement
It's time to get to the meeting point. It's probably not possible in this weather." The three of them walked towards the pit, where a group of soldiers were drinking hot water.
Several big trees nearby were also swayed by the strong wind, and their branches were bent a lot, but they were flexible and not one of them was broken. Instead, the original evergreen leaves were undergoing severe friction after being frozen by the cold temperature.
Now it has become broken, with only a few branches left in many places.
"It's probably the cold current that crossed the sea from the Youxiang Continent. Otherwise, we wouldn't have thought of the cause of this kind of weather." There were three piles of blazing flames burning in the pit, and several people were sitting beside the fire.
Except for the sentry, everyone is resting with their eyes closed.
It seemed that no one really slept. Snow would visit this shallow pit from time to time. The fire was kept, but the soldiers had to wipe their faces from time to time. Before long, there was either a layer of snow or a blanket of cold.
Frost.
This situation lasted until the next day during the day, and the strong wind did not stop until almost noon. The heavy snowstorm also subsided a little, and many people noticed that the light became brighter after that. It seemed that the sky was brighter.
Xueyun is slowly consuming.
At this time, they finally poked their heads out of the pit. The outside was as soft and white as cotton. Only the breeze stirred up a little bit of snow mist from time to time, spreading over the surface of the snow.
The windbreak wall played a great role. When Cassia and the others looked outside the pit, in their eyes, there were two high walls made of snow.
"Thankfully I made this preparation yesterday." Others sighed. Because of the windbreak wall, the snow piled up on both sides was more than two meters high, showing a trapezoidal shape and slowly descending, like a small mountain model, placed not far from the pit.
place.
Such thick snow is no longer suitable for traveling. Even if there is no wind, Cassia and the three of them can open a road ahead and use their bodies and super endurance to forcibly walk out of a feasible snow passage, but the difficulty of traveling is still more than
beyond the limits of what others can bear.
Everyone looked at the snow in front of them and shook their heads. Cassia recalled her original idea of making snowboards. She saw a few straight trees nearby. Although she didn't know the type of trees, after being tested by the strong wind, the flexibility should meet the requirements.<
/p>
Then everyone got angry. There was a veteran from the Endless Sea in the team who was very good at skiing. He also said the same thing later. Don’t worry about the technical issues. The only thing left now is to make the skis. Use the gun to knock them down.
There is no way to deal with the main trunks of those big trees, but other branches can be used. And rope is one of the necessities that everyone carries, so the idea is feasible.
After staying in place for a while, the problem of traveling in the snow was finally completely solved.
The effect is not as good as everyone imagined. In terms of speed and physical consumption, it is only about one or two levels lower than before. But it is enough. At least many of the equipment can use simple sleds to replace the human burden.
In the end, the other seventeen people successfully walked on the snow surface, but Cassia and the other two captains could only rely on their bodies in the thick snow and hurried through the snow like flowing through a river. The surgeon
His weight is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even though Cassia thought of this when making the skis and deliberately made the area of the skis as large as possible, there was still no effect.
The speed on the road increased a lot at this time, and Cassia and the other two lieutenants were also full of energy. The three of them took turns to take the lead in opening the road in the snow, saving a lot of energy, and the speed was even faster than ordinary veterans who used simple skis to travel.
Be quick.
At this moment, the snow peak has officially stood in front of them. The whole picture under the snow clouds can no longer be seen with the eyes. You need to raise your head to see the snow-white mountainside. The layers of snow are like raging waves. p>
A huge mountain peak, the view directly in front was completely blocked, only the mountain that towered like a wall. The majestic momentum naturally exuded, pressing down from the top of the head, making people's heart beat slightly faster. Cassia and the others stopped and looked over.
, sighed for a long time before getting into the white snow again. The combat uniforms they wore also turned them white, and soon they could not tell the difference between the snow and themselves.
I found a secluded place to rest at night. Because I was very close to the snow peak area, I also burned solid fuel for heating at different times during the night to avoid exposing my position as much as possible.
The next day, there was a breeze and the snow became lighter. The heavy snowstorm turned into a normal blizzard pattern. After one night, the snow also dropped one layer and became more solid. The skis passed by Cassia and several other skilled people.
The overnight improvement is more applicable in the current environment.
At dawn, they left the resting place, and after judging their position based on the map and compass, they accelerated towards the meeting point set by Major Barron.
It's not far from them. It will take about three hours to get there.
