After spending a night repairing and setting off again the next day, Chen Fan and Zhao Yu finally left the snow peaks after two full days of trekking and came to the vicinity of the temple where they had previously worked together to kill the turtle-shell monster.
When they arrived here, Chen Fan finally met Lin Yuan again. At this time, Lin Yuan was recuperating in the temple with gauze all over his body. When the two walked in, they immediately caused a noise, and Lin Yuan was even more anxious.
He jumped up, limped towards the two of them, and said very excitedly, "Oh my god, you are still alive, you are actually still alive..."
Lin Yuan was so excited that his mouth was full of saliva, and he almost sprayed it into the faces of Chen Fan and Zhao Yu. The two looked at each other and asked Lin Yuan how could he be like this?
Lin Yuan looked bitter, waved his hands and smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, when the monster in the magma appeared, I immediately took two lamas to evacuate, but they were attacked by another strange beast in the underwater river. I almost couldn't return.
Here we are, fortunately, Zasong suddenly woke up and blocked the monster with his body, giving Bai Jiang and I a chance to escape..."
Speaking of the difficulties on the road, Lin Yuan was also quite emotional. He sighed and continued, "I was injured while fighting underwater. After that, I was taken to an ice canyon by Baijiang to recuperate. Later, my injury recovered by 70% to 80%.
, we originally planned to return to the underground river to find you, but the monster under the underground river actually appeared again. We had no choice but to run down from the snow peak."
Although Lin Yuan only told the general story, from the bandages wrapped all over his body, Chen Fan could see the difficulty of this journey and nodded without saying anything.
After roughly understanding what happened after being separated, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that everyone's experiences are similar. Although the number of monsters on the snow peak is small, the combat power of the alien beasts that can climb the snow peak is very high, and they can all
It’s really lucky that the member came back alive. By the way, did Chen Fan get what he wanted?”
Lin Yuan could not forget the purpose of his visit. After hearing this, Chen Fan laughed and said, "Don't worry, my left hand has recovered. It is just that it is temporarily unable to function due to continuous injuries. As long as I take good care of my body, I should
You can regain your full combat power."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them continued to rest in the temple for two days. On the morning of the third day, they decided to bid farewell to Lama Bai Jiang. Before leaving, Lin Yuan thought of something. He suddenly avoided everyone's sight and whispered to Bai Jiang.
He said, "Would you like to come down the mountain with us? With your combat prowess, you will definitely get good treatment in the military. It is better than staying at such a high altitude."
The climate on the plateau is harsh. In addition to the extremely low temperatures that ordinary people would not expect, there are also strange beasts that may appear on the snow peaks at any time. Now that the path to Tianchi has been destroyed, Baijiang has no way to quickly increase his combat power. It is actually very difficult to stay here.
Not safe.
Bai Jiang shook his head seriously and said, "This is the place where our ancestors have lived for generations. I must defend this place and fight all the monsters from foreign races. What's more, there are survivors from the nearby village living in the temple. They need to be protected."
I protect you, I can't leave you."
Everyone has his own ambitions, but Bai Jiang insisted again and again, and Lin Yuan stopped insisting. He said take care, and then followed Chen Fan on the return journey.
On the way back, Lin Yuan had an extra map in his hand. Bai Jiang spent a whole night drawing it. It could help them get out of this plateau as soon as possible. Relying on this road map, it took the three of them two days to get out of the plateau.
Finding a Sichuan-Tibet Highway, although the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is winding and full of cliffs, is much better than walking through mountains and ridges in the wilderness.
Zhao Yu complained as he walked, "Our injuries haven't healed yet, and we have to walk such a long way. It would be better to look for a car on the road and find a means of transportation."
Chen Fan and Lin Yuan were also very tired, and they both nodded when they heard this. The three of them drove along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway for dozens of miles, and finally found a convoy in an uninhabited land. Chen Fan immediately led Zhao Yu
They walked towards the convoy and found a suitable car among a pile of fragmented human bones.
These cars have been piled here for a long time. It should be that when the apocalypse broke out, a convoy happened to be driving on the road. Later, it was ambushed by alien beasts. All the members were eaten up by the monsters, leaving only a pile of scattered cars.
Car parts, as well as several off-road vehicles that had fallen sideways on the side of the road and were bumped into holes.
They rolled up everything that could be eaten, and the broken bones were shattered into pieces, with internal organs, bones, blood and flesh scattered everywhere. Chen Fan found a relatively complete black off-road vehicle among the wreckage, opened the door and sat down
They went up, cut the wires and restarted the car, and it actually started igniting. Lin Yuan collected a lot of gasoline and piled it all on the back seat of the car, saying that the gasoline should be enough to support their return to Yunxi City.
According to the markings on the route map, it will take the three of them at least two days of driving to return to the target location. Of course, this off-road vehicle is too conspicuous and there is a high probability that it will be taken care of by the monsters on the way down the mountain, because the return journey takes time.
Just longer.
Chen Fan did not dare to drive the car too fast, fearing that the sound of the engine would attract the attention of a large number of monsters. The off-road vehicle drove slowly on the road. While everyone was seizing the time to recover from their injuries, they recounted their experiences after the separation.
It was rare to enjoy a few days of peace.
…
Yunxi City, inside the municipal office.
The gray-haired Liu Yunshan was sitting on the seat, his face turned black. He looked at the documents handed over by Zhou Tao with trembling eyes. His face was full of shock and grief, while Zhou Tao had a face full of shame.
He lowered his head and waited for Liu Yunshan's reprimand.
The atmosphere was solemn and depressing, as if a storm was brewing. Liu Yunshan endured it again and again, then slowly stood up and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Are all the people who went to Death Canyon dead? Not a single person came back alive?
?”
"No...including Wang Yi, who has also lost contact!"
Zhou Tao gritted his teeth with a livid face, not daring to look Liu Yunshan in the eye, "I'm sorry, Chief, we shouldn't have gone to Death Canyon on our own initiative. Wang Yi and I are fully responsible for this mistake, but Wang Yi may have...
I will bear all the blame alone!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Yunshan was furious. He threw all the documents in his hand at Zhou Tao's face and cursed angrily, "Who asked Wang Yi to go to such a dangerous place privately? What on earth were you thinking?"
"I..." Zhou Tao opened his mouth and said bitterly, "Although Death Canyon is very dangerous, there are a lot of resources we urgently need in it. Last time, we were unable to bring back all the resources in the canyon because of insufficient manpower preparation.
, Now the city defense of Yunxi City is in danger, and we are faced with attacks by a large number of strange beasts every day. I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on, so I discussed it with Wang Yi, hoping that he can lead the team to Death Canyon again..." (To be continued
