The mountain peaks are right in front of you, and the sea surface is replaced by thick ice and land in a short distance of tens of kilometers. The temperature drops suddenly in a short distance, and the iron box next to you makes a crisp sound, as if it can no longer withstand the low temperature.
A layer of white frost formed on top very quickly.
The induction became even stronger. When Cassie Hei passed a certain position along the ice, the two seemed to have entered a range affected by invisible forces. For a moment, the noise like electronic interference kept coming to mind in his ears, and when he waited for this sound
Disappeared, Cassie Hei had arrived at the foot of the mountain peak.
The air here has almost no moisture, and when you breathe in your body, it feels like it will freeze into hoarfrost. The wind that is not too strong blows up waves of dust-like snow and frost flying around, and the snow is just up to your knees.
When Cassie Hei landed, his whole body was also frozen with a thin layer of ice.
It's been a long time, and Cassia hasn't felt cold for a long time. Falling off Cassia's black back, the weight of about half a ton seems to have become lighter here. I don't know why I feel this way, but I can
One thing is certain, there are invisible things existing in the surrounding space at all times, affecting all substances that originally belonged here or that later invaded.
He didn't know if this would be a good thing, but the information his body fed back to Cassia told him that this influence seemed to be moving in a good direction. He waved his arm, and Cassia didn't know if it was an illusion. His strength was increased compared to before.
A little less, and the intensity of the rejection reaction in the body has also been slightly reduced.
"Illusions caused by the extreme regional environment?" Cassia thought as she moved the iron box down. Cassia stood aside and looked around. He had the same feeling. Before, when he was outside, his body seemed to have been pressed
The invisible thing was tightly wrapped around the body with iron chains. But here, the iron chains and heavy objects all disappeared in an instant, and the indescribable comfort made it feel a bit strange.
Putting this doubt in his heart, Cassia considered going back to the military school to ask the old professors. He dragged the iron box, called Cassia, and walked forward along the gentle ground under the mountain.
go.
Cassie Hei echoed, not knowing what he wanted to express, and followed step by step.
The light dimmed very quickly, and it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only darkness around. Fortunately, there was no strong wind. Cassia continued to move forward relying on the sound. It was close to six o'clock when she finally found a natural ice cave and started there.
Rest. I checked the iron box in the dark. The materials were chosen with low temperature in mind, and the skills of the old people were very good. The welds did not crack at more than 100 degrees below zero. The temperature will drop even more at night.
Many, if there is a snowstorm coming, even if she is affected by the giant whale in the second dream, her resistance to cold has become extremely strong. But at that time, Cassia still needs to expend some physical strength to resist the extreme cold.
It's not that there is no life here at all, at least judging from the speed of Cassie's return from hunting, there are still many adapted creatures living in this frozen world.
Thick fur and a layer of extremely dense fat are almost necessary for survival, which can save a lot of unnecessary consumption. After simply eating something to fill her stomach, Cassia lay down against the rock-like ice cubes.
, close your eyes and think about the map of the endless sea tundra in your head.
It will take about two or three days to set off from here. After placing the iron box, you have to rush to the nearest imperial station and take the airship back to the military school. Cassie Hei will stay here.
At the end of the assessment, he quietly left the tundra with himself.
Soon after, Cassia opened her eyes. She couldn't rest at all now. She could no longer maintain her normal semi-sleep state. She was surprisingly excited, and the fatigue accumulated from the long journey disappeared after entering the tundra.
"Is it still caused by the influence of the extreme regional environment?" Cassia stood up, glanced at Cassie who was curled up in a ball, and came outside gently. In the silence that adapted to the darkness, the wind stopped, except for herself
Apart from heartbeat and breathing, there is no other sound around.
"Most of the second-type creatures and second-type creatures live in extreme areas. Thousands of years ago, almost no creatures would take the initiative to come out of it." Cassia walked in circles in the snow in front of the ice cave.
, something was said in the theoretical course of the military school that he remembered, "When these creatures began to appear, the records in the empire were from the late period of its predecessor, the Kingdom of Mano. Before that, the extreme areas were populated by ordinary humans.
The unreachable area also became a natural protective barrier. The two had a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other. It was not until a thousand years later that the environment of either party changed, which caused a small-scale conflict between the two.
Transition zone. Some second-type creatures began to invade the world of ordinary humans, but they did not dare to go too deep."
",,,It's just that we know that this is not fear of us, but fear of things that have not yet been identified! One of the two must be slowly changing!"
The concluding remarks at that time were like this. The teacher also told Cassia and the others that what has changed is the environment in which we live. In the eyes of second-class creatures and second-class creatures, the environment in extreme areas is just a normal state, but there is nothing outside.
They must have a tacit fear of it. And during the coming of the Red Star, this will become another situation. There are still many things left in history that have not been explored clearly, including the Red Star and the extreme areas.
It was 10 o'clock in the morning the next day when we set off again, when obvious light appeared. Cassie Hei was kept flying close to the ground because almost all the assessors would come over to familiarize themselves with the environment. Without the restriction of rules, many large
The family forces will send airships directly to the destination.
Three days later, Cassia separated from Cassie Hei at the foot of a mountain peak. Before leaving, he explained a lot of things, and after making sure Cassie Hei remembered them, he allowed him to return to the first resting place when he came.
Watching Cassia disappear into the white world, Cassia exhaled a breath of white frost, then dragged the iron box forward in the snow, leaving a deep trace. A few hours later, the three buildings in front of her were connected.
The mountain peak told him that the assessment area had finally arrived.
In the sky under the black clouds in the distance, hundreds of looming dots were flying in the direction of the empire's station. There would be more snowmobiles on the ground preparing to leave. After calculating the time, the distance assessment had really begun.
There is less than half a month left, and the remaining time is for each assessor to make corresponding preparations according to their own adaptability.
"I should be the last one to come." Cassia smiled and said with some self-deprecation. But he didn't care what the final result of the assessment would be. From the beginning, this trial was not prepared for him. (Unfinished)
