Nine hundred and twentieth eight chapters on the road
Swish, swish, swish..."
In the snow-covered black-leaf forest, Lin Cheng took everyone who had rested and set off again, heading towards the town of Topol that Beard had just mentioned.
The primeval forest that was supposed to be lush and leafy was covered in thousands of miles of ice. Apart from the ubiquitous bare tree trunks, not a single leaf could be seen.
Due to the inaccessibility of people, the snow in this virgin forest is almost waist deep. If Lin Cheng hadn't been walking in front and relied on his body to forcibly open a path in the snow, Luo Shihu and Anfiya behind would not have been able to walk normally.
.
According to Luo Xihu, the town of Topol is about sixty kilometers away from here. According to the speed they are traveling at, Lin Cheng estimates that they will not be able to arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest.
In the vast primeval forest, Lin Cheng didn't care about the beasts that should be the most worrying ones. On the contrary, those strange snow monsters gave him a headache. After all, the waist-deep snow under his feet was simply a natural breeding ground for those snow monsters.
If you are not careful, you may be surrounded by them.
Therefore, in order to prevent unnecessary changes, Lin Cheng never stopped for a moment from the beginning. He just wanted to get to the town of Topol as quickly as possible, but because of this, his physical strength was also consumed very quickly.
, even if you keep taking energy beans, in this cold and dangerous primitive forest, the recovery speed of energy beans is still difficult to catch up with the physical consumption.
"You go to the back and take a breath, I'll clear the way."
Bai Ling had been following the team since the start. Seeing that Lin Cheng's breathing was getting faster and faster, he knew that he might have reached his limit, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
Shaking his head, Lin Cheng continued to move forward without stopping and said to her: "No, this forest is too dangerous. We can't stop for a moment. We must leave here as soon as possible! You will pick me up again in the evening.
Come on, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up if we pick up now."
"...All right."
After spending more than half a month with Lin Cheng, Bai Ling also knew that once the other party made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so he stopped talking and returned to the end of the team to be on guard.
The only person in the team who maintains the best physical strength is probably Coke. The task assigned by Lin Cheng is to follow in the middle to protect Luo Xiu and Anfiya. Since he has not encountered any danger from the beginning until now, Coke has been on the road.
It was very comfortable, and he even had time to catch birds for food, which made Lin Cheng look angry.
There was silence all the way. Since all Lin Cheng's energy was used to clear the way, no one in the team spoke while they were on their way. Only the bearded man would stop to correct his direction from time to time.
Unknowingly, the afternoon had passed. As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Cheng, who was exhausted, stopped paving the way and pressed his hands to signal everyone to stop for a moment.
"call--!"
After receiving Lin Cheng's instruction to stop for a moment, Luo Shihu and Anfeiya immediately lay down in the snow nest with a "pop". Although they were not asked to do anything along the way, just keeping up with Lin Cheng's pace had already consumed them.
With all my strength, I just felt sore all over as soon as I lay down, and I couldn't stand up anymore.
After stopping, Lin Cheng called out the system menu, exchanged it for a new box of energy beans, took out four and distributed them to everyone, and after they swallowed them, he said: "Coke Bailing, go and alert the surroundings, you two hurry up."
Let's eat and continue on our way in twenty minutes."
After that, he threw one into his mouth, and then took out a bunch of fast food from his bag and threw it on the ground. He sat there and took the time to rest.
Driving all afternoon in the snow, Lin Cheng's mental energy consumption was actually more serious than the physical exertion. After all, this place is no better than the city. It's snowing heavily in the deep mountains and old forests. Who knows what kind of accidents we may encounter, so
He never relaxed his vigilance even when he was clearing the way. He spent the entire afternoon on the road with full vigilance, and even an iron-clad man couldn't bear it.
"Brother Lin, what did you give me to eat just now? It's so amazing, I feel like I've come back to life again!"
Just when Lin Cheng closed his eyes to rest, Beard, who had swallowed the energy beans, finally felt something strange in his body, and ran to him with a surprised look on his face and asked.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Cheng did not answer him, but shouted to the white-collar worker who was on guard not far away: "No need to be vigilant, come back quickly and have something to eat, and then continue on your way!"
"knew."
Hearing Lin Cheng's call, Bai Ling nodded slightly, quickly returned to Lin Cheng, tore open a pack of vacuum beef and ate it.
While they were eating, Lin Cheng got up and did a little search in the surrounding woods after resting. After confirming that there was no danger, he turned back to the place where everyone was resting, took a piece of beef from Bai Ling and ate it.
.
After eating beef and drinking mineral water, the food was almost ready. The bearded man quickly packed up the bags on the ground, and then said to Lin Cheng: "Brother Lin, at our current speed, if we travel overnight, tomorrow afternoon
We should be able to reach the town of Topol. But..."
"But what?"
Seeing that Luo Zi suddenly stopped in the middle of talking nonsense, Lin Cheng swallowed the beef in his mouth, raised his head and asked him.
"I still think it's too dangerous to travel overnight!"
After hesitating for a moment, the bearded man gritted his teeth and decided to reveal all his worries, "There is still heavy snow in the sky, which means those snow monsters will still appear! It's better to have a wide field of vision during the day, but at night, the field of vision is extremely poor.
Under such circumstances, I am very worried that those snow monsters with intelligence will get stuck at this juncture and choose to move in full force. After all, the noise we have made along the way is quite big..."
After hearing what the bearded man said, Lin Cheng shook his head in a funny way, "So? In order to avoid being made dumplings by the snow monsters, we will stay where we are and wait until dawn the next day before setting off? But have you ever thought about it,
We are no less noisy because of the noise. If the snow monster in the forest is really alarmed, is there any difference between staying where you are and continuing on your way? And if you really stay where you are, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. After all, the attack
It's much easier to track a stationary target than a moving target!"
"this..."
After hearing what Lin Cheng said, Beard Beard finally realized that he had indeed fallen into a misunderstanding just now. Normal people would think that setting up camp after dark is the safest way to do it. But now, unlike before, the enemy they faced was not
Beasts with various weaknesses can resist invasion by just setting up a defensive circle and being alert. Once they are targeted by those brutal snow monsters with almost no weaknesses, they will simply stay in place to provide warmth to the snow monsters.
