Chapter 961: The Name of the Lone Wolf (10)
Kasia smiled softly, and after seeing that Yeterin had no obvious injuries on her body, she crouched down and rummaged through the enemy's backpack.
"No need to look for it, we need to go to the next mountain as soon as possible before the snowstorm comes. Jetlin crouched beside Kasia as she spoke, drawing an extremely sketchy map on the snow, "There are buried supplies from the Webley family, and I estimate that it is very likely that they have not been taken by the rest of the family." And even if someone has been there, it will certainly not run out. The rest of the things, whether it was food, weapons and ammunition, were enough for the two of us. Right behind this mountain. ”
Ye Jielin stood up as she spoke, pointing to her side. Kasia took the high-energy food from the enemy's backpack and stood up and nodded.
"But the only trouble now is that the peak is close to the center, because the supplies were originally set up for the final place to be contested. Ye Jielin put the mask back on, "No problem, it seems that you haven't been in it for the past few days." ”
"I don't have any idea of a place, just look around. Kasia replied, patted Yeterin on the shoulder again, and motioned for her to take the backpack and some unnecessary weapons on her body to herself, leaving only the basic self-defense weapons, which can reduce the load, "It will be dark in more than an hour, and most of the examiners should not choose to conflict at this time." ”
Then Kasia gave most of the high-energy food he had collected to Yeterin, and after eating, Kasia grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, and then hurried.
It has always been Kasia who has opened the way in front, and the distance between the two has been stretched to about two meters away, so that Ye Jielin can rely on Kasia in front of her to avoid the huge obstacle to the forward speed of the oncoming cold wind. Soon the two of them disappeared into the rising snow mist, and by the time it was completely dark, they had left the foot of the mountain and were on the long road between the two peaks.
Soon, even if they were less than two meters apart, it became more and more difficult for Ye Jielin to catch the figure of Cassia in front of her. There was no light around, the cold wind became stronger, and snowflakes the size of an adult's palm began to fall sparsely, hitting Ye Jielin's mask from time to time. If it weren't for the "creak" sound of stepping on the snow ahead, Ye Jielin would really think that he was alone in this darkness and was moving aimlessly.
It's just that compared to these, Ye Jielin is more concerned about the increasingly huge gap between the strength of the two. In her perception, Kasia had maintained an even speed, and until now, she had not been able to perceive Kasia's breathing and heartbeat. On the contrary, his body began to show signs of weakness under long-distance consumption. This is still the result of following Kasia, and if you face the cold wind and deep snow alone, the physical strength will be even greater.
When she sighed in her heart, Ye Jielin suddenly noticed that there was a little more confused pale green fluorescence in front of her. Even if it is dim, it can be used as a bright guide after the vision is completely blocked.
"There's a change in the terrain ahead, I'll slow down a bit, you follow me. Cassia opened his mouth when he took out the mechanical watch and hung it on his finger, and when the flap was opened, the fluorescence of the hands was just enough to become a guiding light in a small area.
For some reason, Jetrin shook her head in the back, she always felt that Kasia would do something unexpected many times.
When it came to around 3 a.m., the two took a short break in a low-lying pit.
Even if she couldn't see it, Ye Jielin could still feel Cassia not far away beside her, and she had a strong sense of presence at that time. It's been a familiar thing for two years, but there are times when Jetlin still feels that Kasia is gradually becoming unfamiliar in some ways.
"Before the test, I heard from the researchers in the family biology lab that the reason why this island community was frozen was because of a war between giant whales and dragons. In the past, it was inhabited by dragons, but for some reason, it was attacked by giant whales that had gathered. In the end, the remnants of the whale caused the area to be initially frozen, and then the climate also changed, and it took a long time to accumulate before it became its current size. ”
"It's the historians and archaeologists who have inferred it from some traces of detection. However, there is no complete explanation for why the two fought. But the two seem to be hostile in the first place, and it is conceivable that there is no reason for such a thing to happen. "By the way, there is one more thing, the expansion of the tundra has never ended, and it has been spreading farther through the cold currents of the Endless Sea. This is also changing the life in the frozen seas, and researchers have found many creatures climbing up the ice from the water. In the extreme region, the influence of inexplicable forces has accelerated their evolution. As for why, it is still an unsolved mystery, perhaps it is not necessary that there is something buried under this earth that has not disappeared? Just like coal in the past, it has been crushed by the steel wheels of history and turned into another substance. ”
"Perhaps, there must be a reason for the formation of the extreme region. Kasia listened attentively, and finally replied. He thought of the inductive force field in Professor Bruce's mouth, and of the "deadly substance" that radiated from the excitation of uranium gold. Checking the time, Kasia stood up, "We're on our way, it's not that far, and we should be able to reach our destination when it gets a little brighter in the morning." ”
Arriving at the location of the buried material was at nine o'clock in the morning, by which time the snow fog blown by the cold wind had blocked all the space, and none of the snowflakes that fell were intact, almost all of them were ground into pieces by the wind.
A little of the supplies were taken, but most of them were left. The location was in a crack in the rock, with an entrance and exit the size of two adults, but inside it was a huge cavity. The entrance was buried by snow in a matter of minutes, and after Kasia and Jeterin had replenished their basic food, they used the contents of the supplies to set up some improvised traps around the cave to protect against the unexpected situation in the blizzard.
The fire was lit with high-energy fuel, and after several days, the two finally came into contact with a sensation other than cold in the cold.
Soon after, along with the dull feeling inside the ear, the air also became heavy. Something quickly pressed down from a distance, and half an hour later, there was a grinding sound of "snort" throughout the mountain, which was a sharp hurricane grinding the rock that had already become extremely hard. And the blizzard is finally coming at this moment.
"It should be six or seven days from here. Sitting by the fire, Jetlin put her head on her knees and looked at the flickering flames. She let the firelight reflect her face, and the look in her eyes grew warmer. For her, that time may not be much. And for Kasia, it seems to be the same.
After the assessment, no one knows what will happen to the empire in the next few years. Only one thing that could be predicted was that the thirty-six places would be the main players for a long time.
