Kasia sped up to catch up, and in about ten minutes, the trail was already obvious, and it could be seen clearly under the heavy snowstorm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info continued walking, and based on the changes in these traces, Kasia mentally estimated the distance between herself and the group. When it felt close, the trail left the river at the foot of the mountain and burrowed into the woods. It was getting dark at this point, and the team was probably going to rest. In heavy snowstorms, the temperature at night can drop by several degrees. If the team in front of them is really a volcano base, their field winter clothing is not very good at resisting such low temperatures, and they need to find a windproof place to burn solid fuel for heating to survive the coldest time of the night.

At this moment, he climbed the ancient tree that stood beside him, and Kasia opened his eyes wide and followed the traces to see that there was indeed a group of people in the shadows between the overlapping trees. They had found a stepped terrain in the woods, and were already preparing to use it as a place to spend the night. Black dots of people were going up and down there, probably clearing the snow from that area, and forming a defense.

Kasia swayed cautiously from the ancient branches. After a few minutes, he finally saw the faces and equipment markings of the men and made sure that it was his team, and then sent a signal to the team in the limelight in the order of the bird calls that the captain had told him. It's a big snowstorm, and there's not much point in paying attention to the sound anymore.

But even with the sound of birds, the team's attitude was not soft. It is the third team, which is neither a firepower team nor a team that cannot search traces, so it is more appropriate to see it as a transit and support team. There were only eight people left, and they looked very lonely in the woods in the blizzard, and everyone had the tiredness of a long journey on their faces.

Confirming the signal, Kasia came down from the ancient tree and was immediately pointed at several guns, but there was no hostility from the guns, and some of them did not even pull off the safety bolts. Then he exchanged ciphers with the captain of the third team, and then he was completely relieved.

"Two days ago there was a brief correspondence in which we were contacted by Colonel Barron. Each team suffered more or less losses, and several teams were completely wiped out by the enemy. The captain said.

It's night, and nine people are sitting around a makeshift stone campfire, keeping warm by burning solid fuel. There was no suitable place left, and there was just a barely blocking piece above the flames to prevent the fire from shining too much. In this way, it can be regarded as a temporary place to rest, and in terms of other details, the team does not have the mood and strength to pay attention to them.

Water is boiled in an iron container on the campfire, and a little bit of meat from an unknown animal is boiled in it to make a broth without any taste. In addition to the high-energy food that comes with it, it is the thing that makes people feel the heat the most.

After cooking for a long, long time, Kasia felt it this way. Before the broth was fully cooked, he and the captain talked a lot, exchanging information and summarizing what they could know now.

"It is indeed converging towards Snow Peak, and with the order given by Major Barron, there is a high probability that the enemy's airship will be there. The teams that can still be contacted are rushing towards there. The two talked for a long time, and the captain sighed, and by the way stirred the broth in the small iron pot-like container with a spoon. Only then did Kasia see what it was, a shell shell with a corroded model designation, and after a simple treatment, it became such a small pot.

"I picked it up on the road, and we were going to bury the bodies of our teammates, and when we were digging a pit, we dug it up on the surface of the shallow soil, so we took it with us. The enemy met a few days ago, and it was there that the team became like this. Fortunately, the position occupied at that time was good, and the players on our side also ran in for a few days, and their combat effectiveness was not as estimated by the enemy. They were well prepared and attacked. We fought for a long time, and after we had completely annihilated the enemy, there were only eight left on our side. The captain couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "A person's strength is limited after all, and whenever he goes on any mission, he can always deeply realize this." ”

The broth in the shell had been boiling for a while, and a fragrance permeated the air, barely spilling a little around the campfire, and was ruthlessly blown away by the wind.

"Your share, take something to pack, it's so cold, it's very comfortable to drink. The captain was serving broth to a few other ordinary veterans, and when he was done, he wanted to give Kasia a little, and there were still two or three people left in it, "It's not easy to find these little animals in this weather, and after that, they won't be there." ”

Kasia shook her head and glanced at the captain with a smile. Only then did the captain understand.

"I'm wondering how you managed to escape the enemy's attack, and it seems to be the same as I thought. Theoretically, if the captain of a team was dead, like me. The captain smiled boastfully, "Then the others don't have much chance of surviving." ”

The broth was quickly divided, and of course until the end, the captain, like Kasia, did not drink it. Later, I took clean snow on the spot and drank a little hot water.

The night passed quietly, and there was nothing around except the cold wind blowing.

The next day, I set off at around 5 a.m., because the wind finally stopped at that time, and it was just right for the weather. Kasia's own bite on his arm was also completely healed. Together with the captain, he carried most of the weight of the team, and the speed of the journey increased considerably.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the snow peak has become huge in their eyes, and in another day or so, they will surely reach the foot of the snow peak. Half an hour after that, they also saw another group resting on a mountainside.

Soon after, an integrated team negotiated the route and made a cautious march towards the snowy peak. It can be said that it is a combination of three teams, but the number of people is just twenty.

Heavy snow blocked the mountains, and although the wind stopped, the team was quickly swallowed up by the snow-white scenery.

"About tomorrow time, I can walk to Snow Peak. "Someone in the team said.

"Not necessarily. There are also concerns that "if there is an enemy airship parked there, the chances of us encountering the enemy will become very high." And if their whereabouts are revealed before they encounter the enemy, it is possible for the enemy to drive the airship out and carpet bomb. Regardless of the power of the aerial bombs, just the smallest caliber shells loaded on them can bombard a crater of more than 10 meters with the power of one shot. We can't dodge that kind of attack, and a single shot can turn the whole team into minced meat. ”
