Relying on a strong sense of direction to find the way forward, Cassia looked at several raised peaks in the distance to adjust the route. The snow would change the landscape at any time, and in an environment where the scenery was roughly the same, these peaks could only be used as a guide.
Accurate reference.
In the afternoon, there are no more shadows of airships overhead, but you can occasionally see the traces of snow vehicles that have not been smoothed out by the snow on the ice. A layer of ice has formed on your hair very early.
As she breathed, Cassia felt that her face became stiffer and stiffer. The temperature dropped further, and when it was almost dark, the gathering clouds began to billow.
While sighing that she didn't seem to have the right time, Cassia finally understood the reason why those airships and vehicles chose to leave together. They were not large airships, at best they were small and medium-sized ones that could transport a large amount of supplies. The outside world
There will be no problem at all in thunderstorm weather, but in extreme areas, due to invisible interference, the function will be greatly regressed. In addition, the harshness of the environmental climate has increased, and small and medium-sized airships cannot withstand it.
Speeding up his speed, Cassia wanted to find a place that could withstand the snowstorm as soon as possible before dark. The disadvantages of acting alone were revealed at this time, even though Himya had brought him a copy of the assessment area when he left the military school.
A detailed map of the map, but Cassia himself did not have high expectations as to how many of the locations noted above could be spared in more than two months.
According to his memory, he rushed towards the nearest large cave where he could rest. The sky darkened even faster, and soon the wind started blowing. In a world where all the water turned to frost, the snow and mist shaped like clouds under the blazing sun.
Dust, like mold spores, filled the sky.
Soon after, two bright beams of light shone from the side, and the sound of the steam engine finally spread. Cassia immediately stopped where he was, approached his iron box, and pulled out his revolver.
He breathed a sigh of relief. The revolver now felt painful to the touch, and the temperature was much colder than the environment. After moving his body, Cassia looked at the approaching vehicle and looked at its general direction. She should be rushing back to the nearest
According to their speed, it would take almost ten hours to get back.
Most of the vehicles in the snow are special-purpose. The wheels have abandoned rubber and are completely made of meteorite copper to process the shape. They are equipped with anti-skid chains and some short spikes to enhance the grip. The structure and rearrangement of the front of the vehicle are used to remove accumulation on the railway.
The structure of snow is similar, both have arc-shaped triangular spires, which can squeeze the snow to both sides.
The speed was very fast, and the two vehicles drove side by side, about ten meters apart, to avoid the snow shoveled away by the spire. The extremely strong power and shock absorption performance made the vehicles extremely stable, and they carved out obvious gaps in the snow.
Two lanes coming.
Cassia just watched the two limousines driving sideways quietly, hoping that the rising snow and fog could separate her from them. But she seemed to notice Cassia standing where she was, and the speed of the passing vehicles immediately slowed down.
After turning a small bend, he drove straight over and stopped forty or fifty meters away.
The strong beam of the headlights hit both sides of Cassia, and the snow suddenly became brighter. Cassia squinted his eyes slightly and watched one of the car doors open, and hot steam came out, like thick smoke rising. From inside
A man and a woman came out, both wearing cold-proof clothing that clung to their bodies, making them look much stronger.
The other car just opened the window, and under the light of the interior lights, there were two women and a man. They were probably people from the same family, or friends who met together, forming a team. This
Shidu looked at Cassia, his gaze stayed for less than a second, and then he naturally turned to the iron box aside.
The box is not big, and looks like an iron coffin. The drawings that Cassia originally made were exactly like the coffin, so it can just fit himself in, with some extra space.
"Hey, friend, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a ride?" The man who got off the car asked with a smile, "It's free. I guarantee you will be sent to your destination. Look, a snowstorm is coming soon.
Since you are alone and don’t have a vehicle to travel around, your movements will definitely be restricted afterwards.”
Cassia breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand, and smiled back: "Thank you very much, no need, my car is not far away, and I will return to the nearest station soon. You should leave first, the snowstorm may be coming.
, maybe I can catch up with you later through the lane you drove out."
The man made a rogue gesture, but the woman on the side pushed him gently. The man glanced at the woman, as if to say don't worry. The snow and fog were thick, and Cassia couldn't see clearly. But in her heart
A bad premonition has arisen.
"Friend, can I ask something?" the man said, taking a step forward and pointing at the iron box, "What is in there? It should be the materials you prepared for this assessment, right?"
The smile seemed to be stiff on the stiff face, and Cassia nodded: "Some firearms and ammunition, although I know that I won't get good results, but everyone is making preparations. I want to follow suit, at least not to let them get good results after the assessment."
Leave yourself no regrets."
"I see, I understand." The man nodded similarly, as if he suddenly understood, "Then you have to hurry up and catch up. We can go back together then."
As he got into the car, the engine started and made a buzzing sound. The man waved from the window, and the vehicle turned the corner and drove in the direction just now. Soon, the vehicle walked more than a hundred meters, and snow and fog were approaching.
When they were surrounded, Cassia kicked the lower part of the iron box hard, causing it to slice ten meters away.
Sliding on the snow could not move faster than the speed of the bullet. As Cassia moved towards the back, several crisp sounds hit his head like a thunder strike. The bullet hit where he was standing just now.
A white fountain arose in the place, and after a few seconds, the muffled sound of gunfire disappeared.
Cassia knew that the group of people just wanted to have fun, and there were beautiful wild flowers on the roadside, so she picked them and looked at them. After a few steps, she walked to the edge of the iron box. Cassia looked to the side and saw seven or eight dents, and bullets
They all penetrated into the inside of the box, and were finally stopped by the steel tank containing the dragon's blood.
Looking up at the dense black clouds in the sky, the airflow brought by the wind was getting stronger. Cassia knew that he would not be able to reach the nearest cave before the storm came. The sound of the snowmobile engine was also coming from his perception.
disappeared from the range.
"I should have thought that I would encounter this kind of thing, and I should have added a layer of composite bulletproof material on it before I came here." Cassia looked for his own reasons and was a little annoyed. This was something he had not considered. But there was a slight sound of wind.
At this moment, he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable all over, and his scalp was a little numb. It seemed that something had invaded his body in the past few days, causing his blood to boil rapidly just now. He was so cold that he turned white.
An unnatural blush appeared on his face. This was something Cassia himself didn't notice. The environment and unknown effects of the extreme area were affecting him all the time.
Looking at the two looming cars, the only thing that can identify them now is the solid beam of the headlights.
When the wind got stronger, the snow mist continued to fly, and the snow on the ground was blown away, and the scars on the smooth surface began to be smoothed. And in the snow, an iron box was left alone, and someone did not know who had left it.
The ground, and soon a small snowdrift piled up there. (To be continued)
