Relying on a strong sense of direction to find a way forward, Kasia looked at the several raised peaks in the distance to adjust his course. Snow cover can change the landscape at any time, and in an environment where the scenery is roughly the same, these peaks can only be used as an accurate reference.

In the afternoon, the shadow of the airship is no longer visible overhead, but the traces of snowmobiles that have not yet been smoothed by the snow can occasionally be seen on the ice. A layer of ice had formed in her hair early, and Kasia felt her face stiffen as she breathed. The temperature dropped even further, and as it was almost dark, the clouds began to roll up.

While sighing that she didn't seem to have touched the right time, Kasia finally understood why the airships and vehicles would roughly choose to leave together. None of them are large airships, at best, they are small and medium-sized bodies that can transport a large number of materials, and there will be no problems with thunderstorms in the outside world, but in the extreme area, because of their invisible interference, they will regress a lot in function, and the harshness of the environmental climate will increase, and small and medium-sized airships cannot resist.

Speeding himself up, Kasia wanted to find a place to withstand the blizzard as soon as possible before it got dark. The disadvantages of acting alone became apparent at this time, and even though Himia had brought him a detailed map of the assessment area when he left the military school, how many of the places noted on it would have survived the two months, and Kasia himself did not have great expectations.

As far as he could remember, he rushed to the nearest large cave where he could rest. The speed of darkness became even faster, and soon the wind rose, and all the water turned into frost, and the snow mist was like dust under the scorching sun, and like mold spores, and the sky spread all over the sky.

Soon after, two bright beams of light shone from the side, and the sound of the steam engine was finally heard. Kasia immediately stopped where she was, approached her iron box, and drew her revolver.

With a sigh of relief, the revolver felt painful to the touch, and the temperature was much colder than the environment. After moving his body, Kasia looked at the approaching vehicle, looking at its general direction, and should be in a hurry to get back to the nearest station. According to their speed, it will take almost ten hours before it is possible to rush back.

Most of the vehicles in the snow are purpose-built, and the wheels have been cut away from rubber and are made entirely of meteoric copper, complete with non-slip chains and a few short spikes for grip. The structure in front of the vehicle is similar to that used by the retrain to remove snow from the railway, with curved triangular spires that squeeze the snow to both sides.

The speed was fast, and the two cars drove side by side, about ten meters apart, to avoid the snow that was shoveled away by the spire. The high dynamics and damping properties make the car exceptionally smooth, and the two lanes are clearly carved out of the snow.

Kasia just watched quietly as the two limousines drove on the side, hoping that the rising snow mist would separate him from them. But as if he had spotted Kasia standing in place, the speed of the passing vehicle immediately slowed down, turned a small corner and drove straight over, stopping forty or fifty meters away.

The strong beams of the headlights hit both sides of Kasia, and the snow suddenly turned to snow. Kasia squinted slightly as one of the doors opened, billowing hot air coming out like rising smoke. A man and a woman came out of it, both wearing cold-proof clothing, clinging to their bodies, making them look a lot stronger.

In the other car, the windows were just separated, and the interior lights were two women and one man. Probably people from the same family, or friends who knew each other together, formed a team. At this time, they all looked at Kasia, and their eyes stayed for less than a second, and then they naturally turned to the iron box on the side.

The box was not large, like an iron coffin. And the drawings that Kasia made and drew were made exactly like the coffin, just enough to fit herself and have more space left.

"Hey, friend, where are you going, do you need me to give you a ride?" the man who got out of the car asked with a smile, "It's free, and I'm guaranteed to get you to your destination." You see a snowstorm is coming, and if you are alone and have no vehicles to get around, your movement will definitely be restricted after that. ”

Kasia breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and smiled back: "Thank you very much, no need, my car is not far away, and I will return to the nearest station soon." You get out of here first, a blizzard might be coming, maybe I'll catch up with you later in the lane you drove out. ”

The man made a rogue gesture, but the woman on the side gently nudged him. The man glanced at the woman, as if to say don't worry. The snow was foggy, and Kasia couldn't see it very clearly. But a bad premonition had risen in my heart.

"Friend, may I ask something?" said the man, taking a step forward and gesturing to the iron box, "What's in there?

On his stiff face, the smile seemed to be stiff, and Kasia nodded: "Some guns and ammunition, although I know that I can't get good results, everyone is preparing, I think I will follow suit, at least not to leave any regrets for myself after the assessment." ”

"I see, I see. The man nodded as well, as if he had suddenly realized, "Then you have to hurry up and catch up, and we can go back together when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, he got into the car and the engine started and made a humming sound. The man waved from the window, and the car turned around and drove in the direction it had just been. Soon, the vehicle walked more than a hundred meters, and when the snow and mist were about to surround them, Kasia kicked at the bottom of the iron box, causing it to slash more than ten meters away.

Sliding on the snow was no faster than bullets, and as Kasia moved backwards, several crisp thumps hit his head like lightning strikes. The bullet stirred up a white fountain where he had just stood, and it took a few seconds before the muffled sound of gunfire died down.

Kasia knew that the group was just trying to have fun, and there were beautiful wildflowers on the side of the road, so he picked them and looked at them. After a few steps to the edge of the iron box, Kasia looked to the side, and was punched seven or eight dents, and all the bullets pierced into the inside of the box, and finally stopped by the steel canister that concentrated the blood of dragons.

Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, the air currents brought by the wind were getting bigger and bigger, and Kasia knew that she would not be able to reach the nearest cave before the blizzard. The sound of the snowmobile's engine was also fading from his range of perception.

"I should have thought that this kind of thing would happen, and I should have added a layer of composite bulletproof material to it before I came. Kasia looked for his own reason, a little annoyed, which he had not considered. But the sound of the wind made him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable at the moment, and his scalp was a little numb. It was as if something had invaded his body in the past few days, causing his blood to boil sharply in an instant. An unnatural flush appeared on his face that had been frozen and turned a little white, something that Kasia himself had not noticed, and the environment and unknown effects of the extreme region were affecting him all the time.

Looking at the two cars looming, the only thing that could be identified now was the solid beams of the headlights.

When the wind became stronger, the snow mist continued to fly, and the snow on the ground was blown and began to smooth out the scars on the smooth surface. In the snow, an iron box was left alone, and I don't know who left it in place, and soon a small snowdrift was piled up there.
