The cold wind is blowing, and the cassock is dancing.

The old monk walked in front with a Zen stick, and the young monk followed behind tremblingly.

It was clearly the little thing that wore the most, but he was the most frozen. The old monk's Zen Staff was inlaid with an excellent lighting LED30 lamp, which could dispel darkness within a range of dozens of meters.

He walked along the way, chanting the scriptures all the way, and the little monk behind him missed him, but when he opened his mouth, he felt like he was swallowing a large mouthful of ice. At that time, his tongue was frozen and hard, and only his "Dao Dao Dao" teeth trembled.

Getting off the elevated stand full of abandoned vehicles, the old monk stopped and said to his disciple, "Amitabha, Xuzhou City is ahead. When you get there, the master will find you a warm place and cook you a bowl of hot noodle soup. How can you see?"

The little monk was so energetic when he heard this, but he didn't dare to answer "OK". After all, the world is really dark and cold now, so how could he dare to answer at the risk of his tongue being frozen?

The old monk looked back at him, smiled slightly, and the two snow-white long eyebrows that were hanging near his chin fluttered in the wind.

"Let's go, it's too late, I'll be scolded by the old bull again."

The little monk replied in a depressed manner, and continued to follow the master.

Hundreds of miles away, the snow-wired carriage that Yu Gege and Taozawa Hanako were also on the way to Xuzhou. However, Yu Gege's destination was not her hometown Xuzhou, but a far north place farther than Xuzhou.

The previous story brought too much shock and thought to Momozawa Hanako, which she could not digest for a long time.

Fortunately, this little foodie didn't have much thought. When Prince You cooked a pot of instant noodles, all her worries would be gone. But that almost Zen-like thinking still inadvertently soaked into her heart.

After a full meal, Hanako Momozawa sighed, "Why didn't I think this thing is so delicious before?"

Princess You smiled and said, "Have you heard the story of the emperor climbing up to eat single cakes?"

Hanako Momozawa shook her head, "No, what are you talking about?"

You Gege said, "Tell me, there was an emperor who liked to indulge in mountains and rivers. Whenever he encountered famous mountains and rivers, he always had to walk and climb the mountain and tour by himself... On this day, the emperor came to a very high mountain. He felt that standing on the top of the mountain and climbing at a distance would be spectacular, so he insisted on going up to climb the mountain when it was approaching lunch. As a result, he imagined that after only half of the climb, the emperor was hungry. Although there were many delicious foods with his accompanying servants, he just took a fancy to lunch at a farmer living on the hillside. What else did he say, to understand the people's conditions, but he was actually tired of being fed and wanted to change his taste."

When Hanako Momozawa heard the teasing in Princess You's words, she smiled knowingly.

"This farmer has lived here for generations, mainly to guard an ancient temple in the mountains. He lives by the incense money in the Zen temple. He can barely be considered half a Buddhist... The farmer has two elders and one young men, and the young men go out to chop wood. The old man has not come back in the temple, and only an old woman is cooking and baking single cakes. The eunuch who accompanied him sees this simpleness and wants the emperor not to go in. But this emperor is the personality of whom he insists on fighting with whom. Therefore, even a plate of pickles and a newly baked pancake is a top-notch delicacy for the emperor... And when he really sat down, he ate the single cake and praised it, saying it was a delicious food in the world, and he ordered his servants to reward the old woman with a lot of gold and silver."

"Then this family is very lucky. In ancient times, I met the emperor's reward, and it would not be shining for the rest of my life?" Fujisawa Hanako quipped.

"Yes, but the emperor's next request is a bit difficult..." Princess You smiled meaningfully.

Huazi Momozawa was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, don't you want to say that this emperor is fond of an old woman? This is too bloody!"

Princess You smiled and said, "It's true, but it's not that she likes the old woman, but that she likes other people's skills. She insists on asking this old woman to go to the palace to make pancakes for him."

After hearing this, Hanako Momozawa curled her lips, "It's not a pity that he is the emperor, I want anything I see."

Princess You nodded, "Yes, and how dare she, an old man, disobey the holy will?"

"What happened later? This old man really entered the palace with him?"

Princess You shook her head and said, "No."

Hanako Momozawa was surprised and said, "How did she refuse? Could it be that she would rather die than be killed? According to the plot of my story, this story is not only heavy, but also too dark."

Princess You said to Bai Yu, "How could that be? Although this old woman dared not disobey the saint's will, she was very smart. She said that this pancake is indeed extraordinary. She needs to use spring water and noodles in the mountains, use the weeds behind the ancient temple to make fire, and must be eaten in this forest to have such a good taste. Therefore, although she dared not disobey the saint's will, she was afraid that she would not be able to make pancakes that would satisfy the emperor after she went back, so... she begged the emperor to ask her to continue pancakes here. When the emperor wants to eat one day, she would naturally be able to eat good pancakes."

When Hanako Momozawa heard this, she was surprised and said, "There are so many things to pay attention to?"

Princess You pursed her lips and smiled, "You, sometimes I really don't know if you are smart or cute. Of course, this is just an old woman's nonsense."

"Then this cake..."

"The reason is actually very simple. It's just that everything you eat is delicious when you are hungry. However, most people don't understand this simple truth, especially the emperor... Even if half of the people in the world starve to death, as the true dragon emperor, you can still have food and clothing. Three delicacies are delicacies. But excessive material enjoyment does not represent extreme happiness. Some of the best foods need to hike up the mountain to taste it." After the story of the princess You finished, she knocked on the empty noodle soup pot. "Now do you understand why you suddenly think that this simple instant noodles are delicious?"

But Hanako Momozawa immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep and said, "Ouch, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll give you this stuff... "

When Prince You heard this, she was stunned, "Hey!"

But Hanako Momozawa has fallen asleep. Obviously, between being smart and cute, Hanako Momozawa belongs to the smart and cute category.

After being useless for a long time, the Princess You finally had to clean the pot and wash dishes by herself, but when she thought about it, she found it very interesting, so she didn't think there was any trouble.

But when she washed the coins and returned to the cockpit, she found that the speed of the snow-rusting car slowed down.

After checking the body structure, You Gege confirmed that there was no abnormality in the snow-passing vehicle, but it detected a large number of obstacles in front of it, so he slowed down in advance.

The red light spots that appeared on the screen were densely crowded on the road ahead.

Although they were all still, it also made You Gege feel a little worried. She woke up Huako Momozawa and said, "Put on the cold clothes and prepare the weapons, maybe there will be trouble."

Sleeping after eating is a magic weapon for the health preservation of Taozawa Hanako, but most people have long become fat boys when doing this, but Taozawa Hanako is different. She is an ant constitution that will not be fat no matter how you eat it. After being a little more awake, Taozawa Hanako immediately went to the back cabin to arm her.

After dressing, she returned to the cockpit and asked, "What the hell is it? Could it be that she broke into the woods?"

Princess You didn't know either.

The detection system of the snow-luck vehicle is a relatively simple lattice feedback radar system. Although it can detect and warn early, it cannot generate detection images.

The current speed has dropped to 20 kilometers per hour, which is almost equivalent to moving forward at a snail speed.

From the ultra-high-speed passage that came out of Xuzhou, you can see dense abandoned vehicles far away. Most of these vehicles were left by people who were unable to obtain the qualification to enter the shelter in the region to flee to other areas for hope. However, these people were blocked by the military shortly after they left the city, so most of them had to abandon their cars and jump from the ultra-high-speed passage to hike to survive. The body of the Chaoyang 3-type snow-slide car, which was uniformly produced by Xingyi Heavy Industry, slowly rose up. With the help of the sub-form fusion core loaded in the car, this snow-slide car can continue to run 950,000 kilometers.

The pressure turbine was blue, and the four-ton snow car slowly drove past the abandoned vehicles with dense congestion. Gege You released two armed drones loaded on the snow car, which would provide warning to the personnel inside the vehicle. Hanako Momozawa held a sniper rifle and rubbed the dagger left to her by Liu Ping in her hand. A pair of Qiushui eyes stared at the outline of the city in the distance.

At this time, the temperature outside the car had fallen to minus 152 degrees Celsius. In this ultra-low temperature environment, it is difficult for normal people to survive for more than five hours even if they wear cold-proof clothes. So Hanako Momozawa is not worried about ambushing from people, not to mention that both sides of the speeding passage are suspended in the air, which is obviously not a suitable ambush location.

As for the distant cities, Hanako Momozawa has seen the route. They just passed by and would not pass through the city.

But when a distant "Buddha's name" came, the curiosity of Hanako and You Gege were suddenly attracted. You Gege stopped the snow-planking car, and she opened the vehicle's night vision telescope and looked in the direction where the "Buddha's name" sounded. In the darkness, fluorescent light flashed, as if an army was advancing on foot.

After checking the road map, it was less than 700 meters away from the dense red dots in front of me. After walking forward, you can see the true face of Mount Lu. Princess You hesitated and asked Hanako Momozawa, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Hanako Momozawa asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Princess You smiled and said, "Go."

After saying that, she turned the front of the car and activated the auxiliary flight mode of the snow car.

This white and fat beast instantly turned into an aircraft and flew down from the ultra-high-speed passage twenty meters above the ground. Although the snow car could only perform short low-altitude flights, it was enough to be flat in the complex terrain. After landing, You Gege took back two drones with only half of the energy left and marked a tracking beacon at the landing location. This beacon is currently the only beacon system that can assist positioning on a global scale. The usual navigation has long been invalid. Even the road map planned by You Gege is supported by the powerful physical algorithm core of the snow car.

The vision is much wider after landing, but looking around, it is desolate.

The terrain scan showed that there were many potholes in this area, which felt like a battlefield. Momozawa Hanako was very excited, and she asked, "Guess what those lights are? Will they be humans?"

Princess You calmly replied, "The possibility of being a human is very low."

Hanako Momozawa suddenly felt disappointed, but she still asked, "Why?"

"From the observation results just now, we must be at least several kilometers away from those light spots, and their depth in the field of observation almost reaches the limit of the field of observation. Therefore, we can roughly estimate that this team is at least two thousand meters long... There are probably tens of thousands of people with such a long team. Judging from the current temperature, so many people traveling on foot is undoubtedly a death sentence... Therefore, those lights should not be humans."

After hearing this analysis, Hanako Momozawa frowned and said, "What are those lights? Not humans... can they still be ghosts?"

"What are you thinking? This is a scientific society, where do you have so many superstitious ideas?" You Gege smiled.

But Hanako Momozawa curled his lips, "It's true that it's a scientific society, but since the "Sun disappeared", there has been nothing that I have encountered that can be explained completely by science. You have to think about it."

These words left Prince You with nothing to say.

The two of them had already advanced a kilometer as they spoke.

When we arrived at the outskirts of Xuzhou City, the blockade line built more than a year ago was still swaying in the sea breeze, but those behind the blockade line, which once crazily impacted the iron net and planned to escape from the city, did not see any of them. I think it was probably because after the later policy was put in place, I knew that the shelter was very large, so I went back.

This is a beautiful idea.

Princess You stopped by the edge of the blockade line, then activated the robot arm in front of the snow-legged car to remove the blockade line, and then continued to drive forward. In front of him were large tracts of farmland, which were originally managed by professional farmers, but now they are all deserted.

But heavy machinery, which is more than ten meters high, still stands on the ridge of the field. The heavy machinery products that were born more than a century ago were once called walking farming giants, but now they are forgotten in the darkness, eroded by the cold wind, and turned into a huge steel statue.

When Prince You drove by, she sighed, "I used to climb to the top of this kind of thing, and the scenery was really beautiful."

"Isn't it just a low-intelligent auxiliary farming puppet? What good scenery can you see?" Hanako Momozawa has also seen the oldest equipment in the museum, but in her opinion, this kind of thing consumes a lot of energy, has high maintenance costs, and is still slow to move. It really doesn't look like a creation that integrates cutting-edge technology.

"That's because you didn't climb it when sowing and harvesting. If it were these two seasons, you would see large patches of green and golden light in autumn. The harvest smell emitted from the soil is like the pancakes you eat when you were tired of climbing the mountain, which will be remembered for your whole life."

After hearing this, Hanako Momozawa put away her contemptuous thoughts, but...

"Hey, it's all the past... I don't know if the sun will rise on the day... I don't know if I'm still alive when it rises..."

Princess You didn’t accept this emotion from Hanako Taozawa.

She drove a snow car through the fields to reach the outer edge of the city, which is the energy-saving barrier for the outer edge of the new city after the completion of the new city. A petal-shaped special barrier that can absorb solar and wind energy to provide a continuous supply of energy for urban infrastructure. Its height is usually around twenty-five meters, and once it rises, it will isolate the city from the outside like an ancient city wall.

The maximum flight altitude of the snow-wielding car was only about twenty-five meters. After thinking about it, Princess You finally decided not to take the risk.

She parked the car in a hidden corner on the outer edge, and then said to Hanako Momozawa, "I'll go and change my clothes, and then let's hike over."

"Ah? Hiking? How far is it?"

Princess You looked at the data and said, "At most, we can catch up with the fluorescent tail."

Huazi Taozawa nodded. She disconnected the charging port of the cold-proof clothing, then got up and followed Princess You to the rear compartment.

By the time You Gege was replaced, the snow car had entered a low-power insulation state, which was to prevent the low temperature from outside from invading the engine and central data core inside the vehicle.

Both of them got the equipment and walked out of the rear of the car.

Faced with the energy-saving barrier that is 25 meters high, You Gege turned on the rock climbing auxiliary function of the cold-proof suit integrating the mechanical exoskeleton, and crawled up like Spider-Man.

Seeing that she was skillful in movement, Hanako Momozawa felt relieved, and put the gun on her back and crawled upwards behind Prince You.

The two of them were very fast and they reached the top in a short while.

The energy-saving barrier is not really as thin as the petals. In fact, its top width is more than two meters, which is enough for Momozawa Hanako and Yu Gege to stand firm. Open the auxiliary field of vision module at a high place to clearly see the light.

They are traveling through the city in groups.

The "Buddha's name" came again. After Momozawa Hanako and Yu Ge looked at each other, they jumped down and followed the team.

...

Amitabha was just a novice monk who had just entered Buddhism for less than a year. His father sent him to the old monk and left alone, without explaining where he was going.

Amitabha didn't want to ask. He knew since he was a child that the fate between him and his parents was very shallow, and it was a great blessing to be separated until he was seven years old.

However, although Amitabha's Buddhist relationship is deep, he can move forward in the dark and cold wind without being frozen to death. However, he is still a child after all, and he is still afraid of suffering and cold.

The old monk said that the hot noodle soup was not fulfilled, and what he ate today was a compressed biscuit that was as frozen as a stone.

His stomach was covered in cold air, and Amitabha felt that he might not be able to leave the city and would have to freeze to death.

He felt the soles of his feet floating, and the scene in front of him was hazy and unclear. Fortunately, the "Buddha's name" were still echoing in his ears, so that he would not faint in this darkness.
