-------------------------------------------

The bitter cold wind, with its meaning, raged and debauchery in this white and shrouded black land.

Pieces of goose feathers, caught in them, fluttering, swaying, like a rebellious brushstroke.

He dyed everything between heaven and earth with a snow-white color.

On the snow-buried earth, a black ravine spread like a silk thread from here into the distance, reaching the horizon as far as the eye could see.

The "woo-woo-woo" wind roar is mixed with the roar of the engine.

A small car is slowly moving down the road.

This is the vehicle of the [Rose] team, and it was already dark when they set off at noon and approached the checkpoint.

"The temperature outside has dropped to minus 20 degrees, and it will be even colder in the middle of the night. Gong Ren glanced at the temperature displayed on the dial of the car and said to the two people sitting in the back seat.

"Really, how can this place be so cold!" Ma Huilin complained as she wrapped her thick blanket tightly.

The southerners' heat for heavy snow naturally can't withstand the test of severe cold.

Ma Huilin, who had just gotten off the plane earlier, still looked excited, and kept shouting that she wanted to play in the snow.

Looking at her like that now, I really can't wait to fly back to my hometown in the south and hide in her warm little quilt.

Of course, Gong Ren also knew that Ma Huilin was afraid of cold, but he couldn't help much, under the power of nature, human resistance was so insignificant.

"Miss Ma, I have prepared some warm babies for you, which are in the co-pilot's duffel bag......"

Before Gong Ren finished speaking, Ma Huilin exclaimed, "Wow! Gong Ren, you stupid! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

couldn't wait, Ma Huilin pounced directly on the luggage bag placed in the co-pilot, and searched for it.

"Haha! I found it!" Ma Huilin excitedly pinched the little warm baby, which looked like a child had gotten his favorite toy.

"En~It's alive~" As the warm baby slowly released the heat, Ma Huilin groaned and lazily hid back in the blanket.

"Brother Feng, do you want to have one too~" Ma Huilin said with a smile on Qingfeng.

"No," Qingfeng glanced at the number of warm babies, smiled and rejected Ma Huilin's proposal, he touched the tips of Ma Huilin's hair dotingly, and said: "Linlin, you can also save some use, I don't know how long we will stay in this fog area next." ”

"Hmm...... Okay......" Ma Huilin, who originally wanted to stick another one for herself, could only pout and respond.

-------------------------------------------

The checkpoint not far away is hidden in a thick layer of snow, and it is only asymptotic that you can see it in its entirety.

One after another, the white container-sized houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, sunken in the snow, and they look like they have a different taste.

The H312 Fog Zone inspection site has finally arrived.

The last red light on the horizon was also gone, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in the darkness of the night.

The winter nights were long and dry, cold and frightening.

"Whew~ This is where people should stay!" After experiencing the heat in the simple room, Ma Huilin cried out in surprise and squatted in front of a small sun and couldn't walk.

The indoor temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the heating equipment laid in the interior, and the red little sun finally dispelled the cold on everyone's body.

"Brother Feng, we only have 2 days this time, I just inquired, there will be a huge snowstorm passing by here the day after tomorrow. Gong Ren put down his heavy backpack and said to Qingfeng.

"Time is a bit tight, I look at the environment here...... We also couldn't stay out overnight and had to return to the checkpoint before night came. Aomine said with a frown.

"Yes, I asked the staff at the checkpoint earlier, and they said that the minimum temperature at night for the past two days has dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius. ”

"Such low temperatures, and the cold equipment we carry, do not allow us to sleep in the wild. Gong Ren said.

"What's your plan. Aomine asked directly.

"Come and see this. Gong Ren took out the tablet, put it on the table, pointed to the map displayed on it, and said, "This road is the route I got from the intelligence dealer before. ”

"This road is a relatively foggy area, a relatively southerly location, I checked, and it was originally a river. ”

"River?" Aomine snorted.

"Well, a river that is not very wide, that is, about ten meters, and now the weather should even freeze the riverbed. Gong Ren said.

"We'll walk over the ice tomorrow and follow the river all the way to the inner circle. ”

"Look, this location. Gong Ren pointed to a place marked with a red dot and said, "This is the end of this river." ”

"It was supposed to be a large lake, and I heard that the villagers of the mist-covered village would come here for winter fishing before it was completely winter. ”

"I speculate that the lake wasn't completely frozen at this time, so I think this is a place we should avoid. ”

"Well, Gong Ren is very thoughtful, there is a possibility that there are giant mutant fish hidden under the large lake, like the one in Kaifeng last time, which almost wiped out our army. Qingfeng still has lingering palpitations when he talks about Kaifeng and his party fighting against the huge mutant fish they suddenly encountered.

"Bypassing the lake and continuing north, we will be able to enter the confines of the village, but this is the end of the useful information for us. Gong Ren said with a sigh.

"Gong Ren, how big is this village?" asked Ma Huilin, holding her head with one hand.

"It's not big, it only takes half an hour to go around in a circle. Gong Ren replied.

"But the main problem we have to face is the impact of the snow layer left over from the heavy snow. Gong Ren said analytically.

"Also, we haven't seen the Ice Fruit or where it grows, the only thing we know is that there is a giant bear hovering around it. ”

"This is a big problem...... "Qingfeng stroked his handsome chin and said slowly, "I can only rely on you when the time comes, Gong Ren." ”

"I can only try to ......" because there are too many uncertainties, and Gong Ren can't fill the words.

When Ma Huilin on the side heard this, she immediately shouted unhappily: "What do you mean by trying to do it? You must be 100% sure for me!"

"Yes, I will, Miss Ma......" Gong Ren smiled bitterly and agreed resignedly.

-------------------------------------------

After casually eating the lackluster food provided at the checkpoint, the three of them slept separately.

Ma Huilin was naturally lying on the small bed with Qingfeng, while Gong Ren was wrapped in a blanket and lying on the futon laid on the ground.

However, it is not too uncomfortable to have underfloor heating.

There was no word all night, and the next day arrived in a blink of an eye.

The genius was bright, and after eating a simple breakfast, Gong Ren and the three set off.

The time was exactly 6 a.m.

Since the latitude of the H312 misty area is already the northernmost part of China, the length of day and night here changes particularly drastically.

Especially when the winter solstice is approaching, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sun will be hidden below the horizon at 4 p.m.

After sunset, not only the light, but also the temperature will start to plummet, and it would be a very unwise decision to stay in the fog zone at that time.

The time left for [Rose] is full, and it is only a short twenty hours.

If during this time, Gong Ren and the others did not succeed in obtaining the Bing Ying Fruit. When the blizzard comes, they can only hide in the checkpoint and wait for the blizzard to pass.

Then you will miss the best opportunity.

Some people may wonder why the best opportunity is missed, even if it is only after a period of time.

That's because of the presence of the bears.

After the mother bear gives birth, there will be a time when she is weak.

This weakness does not refer to physical weakness, but to weakness within the warning range.

Due to the burden of the cubs, the mother bears cannot leave the nest at will and make rounds on a large scale.

Almost half a month has passed since the time when the adventurer first discovered the Ice Fruit to the time when [Rose] was ready to enter the Mist Zone at this time.

At this time, it is also close to the growth point where the bear can move independently.

If you wait for another blizzard, then the giant bear will be completely liberated!

-------------------------------------------

The checkpoint is only one kilometer away from the H312 fog zone.

So it didn't take long for the three of them to get to the entrance of their predetermined route.

Gong Ren pulled out his big feet trapped in the snow, and his huge size made it very difficult for him to walk on such fluffy and thick snow.

He took out the paper map that was in his jacket pocket, checked it out, and stopped.

It was not known how he had managed to identify his position in the snow, but it was clear that he was not in the wrong place from the nearby river, which was clearly a cut lower than the other snow layers.

As for the reason why paper maps are used, it is because their civilian tablets cannot work in an environment of minus 10 degrees Celsius.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Gong Ren whispered, gesturing to the two behind him.

The hot breath exhaled from the mouth and nose, under the erosion of the cold, instantly turned into a ball of crystalline powder, and was blown to the sky by the wind, turning into a brilliant crystal color in the sun.

At this point, the time was already 7 o'clock.
