"I discussed this with the captain not too long ago. "The source www.biquge.info of the interference came from the enemy, and it has lasted so long, and the scope is unusually wide. With the agility of the machines in the volcano base, even if it is not in the range of his inspection, it has been a few hours now, and we think that the base should have noticed it very early. ”

"The source of this interference itself is also a signal, it can be tracked, and it is the easiest to catch, and it should be easy for the base to deal with it. The signal soldier's tone was puzzled, "But that's the case at the moment, there is no reaction from the base." Could something else be going on that is delaying this side?" he thought.

"We basically agree on the same idea. The captain chimed in, "The fall of the volcanic base is impossible in peacetime." Although many bases in the history of the empire have been destroyed by the enemy, they were all during the war period, and they have nothing to do with it now. The next place we're going to be probably one of the abandoned bases. To assemble there. ”

The communications soldier looked over from the sidelines: "Is there Snow Peak? ”

The captain cast a strange look, feeling a little interested in the fact that the communications corps knew the name "Snow Peak".

"A few years ago, there was a big scrutiny of a senior official at the base. At that time, Xuefeng was used as a transit station for that high-ranking official, and many things that had not yet had time to be sold were piled up and stored there. There was a team of 100 mercenaries guarding it, and I was one of them when I went to clean it up. The communications soldier saw the captain's eyes and explained.

"It's really there, at that time in the base, the matter of that senior officer was still very big, almost everyone knew about it, and they didn't know what happened to him. The captain sighed at this time, "Snow Peak is the closest to here, and it is also a landmark location that several other captains know." The communication machines are not used now, so we can only leave marks on the routes we have walked, and when they see them, we all converge towards the snow peak. Maybe you'll run into a team or two along the way. ”

Kasia listened to the Captain's words and found a little impression in his head that he had made up some knowledge about the surroundings of the volcano base the other night. Snow Peak is the predecessor of the volcano base, which was born a hundred years ago and was destroyed in the war. Most of the mountains used for defense have been blown apart, and they no longer have the advantage of terrain as a base. As a result, after the war subsided, the entire base was relocated and became the current volcano base.

"There are still a lot of old machines in the abandoned base that haven't been moved out, and I don't know if those things can still work properly. And at our current pace, it will take about three or four days to get there. It's not far. The captain continued, "According to the tracking results of the third and eleventh, the ruins of the Snow Peak base are included in the general direction of the traces left by the enemy. I also heard from the correspondent just now that the machine that creates the jamming signal does not need to be very large, but it is not something that a person can carry on his back and run around the mountains casually, and there should always be several fixed positions. ”

At this time, the captain looked at Kasia and the signal soldier beside him and whispered: "You also feel it, the number of enemies is not small, and they are from the Common Sea Country, so 、、、"

"They can come to us from the borders of the Common Sea and have no choice but to take an airship. It was a conspicuous thing to build a railroad line on the battle line, and they couldn't build a railroad line to the Empire. Trains are absolutely impossible. The communications soldier continued the captain's words, but it seemed to be saying that there was no connection, "It is impossible for the airship to land in the battle line, and the field of view on the battle line is wide and easy to find." So the captain thinks that there is a good chance that the enemy's airship will be parked in the abandoned base of Snow Peak. There are no other destroyed bases around, but the closest to the volcano base seems to be the only one that Snow Peak. ”

"That's probably the idea, and it's kind of a trace left by the enemy. The captain nodded, "Things aren't progressing, but you can't just return to the volcano base. I'm going to try my luck there and join the rest of the team along the way. We continue to disperse, and as we get farther and farther away from the base of the volcano, the danger multiplies. ”

Because of what happened about ten o'clock in the morning, the crowd did not get enough rest, and the captain slowed down a little at this time, and the number of breaks increased significantly. When it got dark, a strong wind blew in the mountains, and the movement became more difficult. Because of the headwind, each step will take more physical strength. Now there is also a gentle upward slope in the general direction of the trail, and in the course of one night, there is not much actual distance at all.

The next morning, the wind didn't stop. At this moment, Kasia and the others had crossed a mountain range, and their vision suddenly became extremely wide.

Now, they were halfway up a mountain range, surrounded by dense ancient pine forests, and the ground was covered with several pinecones the size of an adult's fist. There is no sign of human activity, only the oldest plants.

The snow peak that the captain and the signal soldier said could also be clearly seen in the front right of the team at this time. It was one of the few high mountains around the base of the volcano, and the dark gray clouds stopped halfway up the mountain, and the snow-covered peaks were completely submerged in the deep clouds, and there was no shadow to be seen.

The wind began to mix with ice particles, and there was a slight pain in the face. The temperature dropped a few degrees overnight, and it wouldn't be long before it actually snowed. It's definitely going to be a blizzard that will close the mountains, and the extremely stressful clouds in the sky are a sign that something like that will happen soon.

The mood of a group of team members also began to become like the clouds in the sky, and they were out of breath. Heavy snow in the mountains can have a big impact on their movement and, more importantly, food. The backpack only had a five-day supply of high-energy food, and after five days, they had to find a way to survive in the mountains on their own. For a group of veterans, this would have been a simple matter, but only if there was no snow in the mountains.

"It's been a long time since there's been snow at the base of the volcano, and in previous years it had only drifted down symbolically. This year is really an unusual start. The captain sighed, but was not surprised. Red Star is coming, he knows that it will be normal for the weather to become strange in some areas. According to historical records, every time before and after the arrival of the Red Star, this is the result of being influenced by it.
