After just learning the news, Lin Cheng was actually very depressed. Although he had never walked on the expressway when he was in China before, that was because there were too many people in China and the expressways were often blocked.
Because the population of Eros is only one-tenth of that of China, but its land area is nearly twice that of China. If you take the highway, it will basically be smooth.
But the reality was so cruel, Lincheng finally had no choice but to accept the fact that there was no highway in Eros, and began to study other routes to the Yamal Peninsula.
However, since almost all of Eros is covered by the cold winter, coupled with the sparse population, Lincheng has encountered almost no decent towns since setting off from Topol Town, and has not even seen a few zombies.
The originally uneven road surface has been smoothed out under the cover of snow. In addition to the cold climate, the overall road conditions are actually better than those in China.
Driving a snowmobile, Lin Cheng held the steering wheel in one hand and held a cigarette in the other hand, driving in the endless snowfield with a bored expression. The Coke in the back seat fell asleep again, and the white man in the passenger seat next to him fell asleep.
Lingze was concentrating on reading a book on Eros, occasionally taking the time to look at the map to prevent taking the wrong route.
As night fell, the temperature in Eros became even colder at night, and due to the lack of landmark guidance, Lin Cheng had to slow down the car and turn on the dazzling high-beam headlights to observe the road ahead with his eyes wide open.
"If it really doesn't work, let's just find a sheltered place and rest on the spot."
Seeing that Lin Cheng wanted to lie down on the windshield and observe the road ahead, Bai Ling felt a little worried and suggested to him.
"Did you pay attention to the sign on the roadside just now? How many kilometers are there from Baikal now?"
Lin Cheng didn't answer her immediately. After driving the off-road vehicle for a few more minutes, Lin Cheng suddenly stepped on the brakes, stopped the vehicle and asked her.
"No...we have been walking for so long, and there are no road signs on the side of the road. Maybe...we have gone astray?"
Shaking his head, Bai Ling flattened the map again, turned on the reading light above his head, stretched out his index finger and lightly slid it a few times on the route Yegor had specially marked with red lines, and asked.
"Probably not?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng frowned slightly, took the map and looked at it carefully, and said: "The odometer clearly shows that from the previous road sign to now, we have walked a total of 46 kilometers, which is so long before.
We didn't go astray on the road, so how could we go astray on this short journey of less than 50 kilometers?"
"So I say, it's really not advisable to drive at night. After all, this is a foreign country, and we are not familiar with the place. In addition, the view at night is so poor, we don't know whether we went astray or something else...
…”
Sighing softly, Bai Ling's uneasiness became more and more serious. Ever since she left China and entered the territory of Eros, she felt like a rootless duckweed. She couldn't integrate into the new environment and couldn't even sleep at night.
Not stable.
"Forget it, let's go ahead and take a look. If there are no road signs after walking for more than ten kilometers, then we will have to set up camp temporarily."
Lin Cheng felt a little unsure at this time. Although Eros was as dark as China at night, due to the cold climate and the absence of any buildings around him, he felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a vast sea of snow, completely unaware of where he was.
Where exactly are you now?
After setting off again, Lin Cheng controlled the speed within a slower range and carefully observed the road signs on both sides with his eyes wide open. The previous road had long disappeared under the cover of snow. He was now completely relying on the curb.
It is easy to distinguish the road due to the undulations of snow during the day, but it becomes a bit difficult after nightfall.
After the odometer on the instrument panel showed that the mileage reached ten kilometers, Lin Cheng shook his head, lightly stepped on the brakes, and stopped the off-road vehicle.
"Forget it, let's just do this for today. Let's continue on our way when it gets light tomorrow morning."
After listening to the car, Lin Cheng explained to Bai Ling next to him, then opened the door and walked out.
After standing on the snow and taking a few deep breaths, Lin Cheng, who had been bored in the car for a long time, suddenly felt refreshed and the depressing feeling that had been lingering above his head finally eased a lot.
Bai Ling was relieved when she heard Lin Cheng say she decided to take a rest. She was used to living in China and thought the most dangerous things were the ubiquitous monsters. But when she got here, she discovered that in the harsh climate,
Under the invasion, no monsters or zombies are worth mentioning!
"There is a cabin over there. We can go there to rest. Do you want to put the car away?"
He jumped out of the car and looked around. He saw a small wooden house that was almost covered by snow less than a hundred meters away from the roadside. Bai Ling shouted to Lin Cheng and then walked towards the wooden house.
go.
Seeing Bai Ling, he walked directly towards the wooden house. Lin Cheng didn't call her to stop him. He was very reassured about this woman's strength. Usually, he would leave such clean-up operations, which were not very dangerous, to Coke or Bai Ling.
I do it spiritually and have never encountered any accidents.
When Bai Ling walked to the wooden house, he did not open the door directly and enter the house. Instead, he walked around the wooden house. After making sure that there was no movement in the house, he walked to the wall of the wooden house and stretched out his hands to cover it gently. At the same time, his mind moved slightly.
, I heard a slight sound suddenly coming from inside!
Bai Ling didn't pay attention to these noises. He controlled the silk thread to clean out possible monsters or zombies in the house, and raised his ears to listen to the movements inside. After a while, he was sure that nothing was there, and then he put away the silk thread and walked to the door.
"Creak——"
Because no one had been here for a long time, the rusty iron lock on the door instantly shattered into a piece of iron slag when Bai Ling pulled it apart with his hands. Bai Ling patted his hands gently and pushed it gently.
With a creaking sound, the door was finally pushed open by her.
"It seems like this wooden house is not for people to live in, but for storage of things."
At this moment, Lin Cheng, who had put away the off-road vehicle, also came over with a Coke. He looked over Bai Ling's shoulder and looked into the house with a flashlight, and couldn't help but smile and said to Bai Ling.
The reason why I say this is because there is nothing in this wooden house except two decaying wooden chairs, and the workmanship of the wooden house is also a bit rough. Some parts of the wall can even reflect the snow light from outside, so that
In a cold climate like Eros, this wooden house is not suitable for living in at all.
"This is the best. At least you don't have to worry about being blocked by monsters when you wake up early in the morning."
Bai Ling nodded, and he felt relieved, "This is the best, at least you don't have to worry about being blocked by monsters when you get up early in the morning." (To be continued)
