Chapter 935: The Eve (3)
The mountain peaks are in sight, and the sea surface is replaced by a thick icy land in just a few tens of kilometers. The temperature dropped abruptly over a short distance, and the iron box beside him made a crisp sound, as if it was about to be unable to withstand the low temperature, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on it at an extremely fast speed.
The sensation was even more intense, and as Cassie Black swept along the ice at a certain point, the two seemed to enter a range affected by an invisible force. For a moment I remembered the noise of electronic interference, and by the time the sound had died down, Cassie Black was at the foot of the mountain.
The air here is almost devoid of water, and the breath in your body is like being frozen into hoarfrost. The modest wind blew up gusts of dusty snow and frost that were just knee-high. Cassie Black landed and was frozen in a thin layer of ice as well.
It's been a long time, and it's been a long time since Kasia has felt cold. Falling off Cassie's black back, the weight of about half a ton seems to have become a little lighter here. I don't know why I feel this way, but one thing I know for sure is that there are intangible things in the surrounding space all the time, affecting all the things that originally belonged here, or later invaded.
I don't know if this will be a good thing, but the information that his body feeds back to Kasia tells him that the effect seems to be going in a good direction. Waving his arm, Kasia didn't know if this was an illusion, his strength had increased compared to before, and the intensity of the rejection reaction in his body had also been slightly reduced.
"The illusion of extreme terrain?" said Kasia as she removed the iron box. Cassihei stood aside and looked around, feeling the same way. Outside, it seemed that there was something invisible pressed on the body all the time, and it was firmly wrapped around the body by iron chains. But here, the chains and weights disappeared in an instant, and the comfort that I don't know how to describe made it feel a little strange.
With this doubt in mind, Kasia considered going back to the military school to ask the old professors. He dragged the iron box, called Cassiehe, and walked along the gentle ground below the peak.
Cassie Black echoed, not knowing what he wanted to say, and followed step by step.
The light dimmed quickly, and it was only about 4 p.m., and there was only darkness left around. Fortunately, there was no strong wind, and Kasia continued to move forward by the sound, and when it was close to six, he finally found a natural ice cave and began to rest there. After inspecting the iron box in the dark, the materials selected took into account the low temperature, and the old man's technique was very good, and the weld did not crack at more than 100 degrees below zero. The temperature drops even more at night, and if there is a wind or snow, even if you are affected by the whale in your second dream, your tolerance to the cold has become extremely strong. But at that time, Kasia still had to use some physical strength to withstand the extreme cold.
It's not without the slightest bit of anger here, at least judging by the speed at which Cassihee went out to hunt, there are still many creatures living in this frozen world.
Thick fur and a dense layer of fat are almost essential for surviving organisms, which can save a lot of unnecessary consumption. After a simple bite to fill her stomach, Kasia lay down against the rocky ice, closing her eyes and thinking about the map of the endless sea tundra in her head.
It will take about two or three days to get from here now, and after the iron box is placed, we will have to hurry up to the nearest Imperial station and take the airship back to the military school. Cassie Black will stay here and quietly leave the tundra with himself at the end of the exam.
Shortly afterward, Kasia opened her eyes, and now she couldn't rest at all. I couldn't maintain my usual semi-sleep, and I was surprisingly excited, and the tiredness accumulated from the long journey disappeared after entering the tundra.
"Is it still due to the influence of the extreme regional environment?" Cassia stood up, glanced at Cassie Hei, who was curled up in a ball, and gently walked outside. The silence that was in tune with the darkness, the wind also stopped, and there was no sound around me except my own heartbeat and breathing.
"Creatures of the second and second types of organisms mostly live in extreme regions, and before a thousand years ago, almost no creatures would have voluntarily come out of them. Kasia walked in circles in the snow in front of the ice cave, and he remembered something from the theory course of the military school, "When these creatures began to appear, the records in the empire were still in the late days of their predecessor, the kingdom of Mano. Until then, the Extreme Territory had been an untappable area for ordinary humans on the one hand, and a natural protective barrier on the other. The two tacitly did not disturb each other, until a thousand years later, I don't know which side of the environment changed, so that a small area of transition between the two appeared. Some of the second-class creatures began to invade the world of ordinary humans, but they didn't dare to go too deep. ”
"、、、 just that we know that it's not that we're afraid, it's that we're afraid of something that hasn't yet been identified!
At that time, the teacher also told them that it was the circumstances in which we lived that had changed. In the eyes of Class II and Class II creatures, the environment of the Extreme Territory is just a normal state, but not necessarily outside, and they have a tacit fear of it. And during the coming of the Red Star, this becomes a different situation. There are still many things left in history that have not been explored, and the Red Star and the Extreme Region are among them.
The next day we set out again at 10 a.m., when the light was evident. Cassie Black has always been allowed to fly close to the ground, because almost all the examiners will come over to familiarize themselves with the environment, and under the constraints of no rules, many big family forces will send airships to reach their destinations directly.
Three days later, Kasia separated from Kasihei at the foot of a mountain peak. Before leaving, he explained a lot of things, and after making sure that Cassie Hei had made a note of it, he returned to the first place where he came.
Watching Cassie disappear into the white world, Kasia exhaled a mouthful of hoarfrost, and then dragged the iron box forward through the snow, leaving a deep trace. A few hours later, the three connected peaks in front of him told him that the assessment area had finally arrived.
In the distance, under the black clouds, nearly hundreds of small dots were flying in the direction of the Imperial Residence, and there were even more snowmobiles on the ground ready to leave. After calculating the time, there is less than half a month left before the assessment really starts, and the rest of the time is when each assessor prepares accordingly according to his own degree of adaptation.
"I should be the latest. Kasia laughed, a little self-deprecating. But he didn't care what the final result of the assessment would be, and from the beginning, this trial was not prepared for him.
