Section 125 The Emperor's Capital 30

"Is it better for me to call for help right away?" Thomas asked. His heart was on fire, and if this mysterious power of foreknowledge could be attained through practice, then everyone understood what that meant.

Although Thomas still didn't know how to cultivate—let alone actually set foot on this path, he didn't even know where it began. But if Lu Wu is saved this time, does he have a chance...... Got a chance to learn art?

In all oriental legends, these supernatural powers are very talented, and not just a cat or dog can be trained. But Thomas always felt different. It's not surprising that everyone is lucky about themselves. In fact, most people feel that they are different until they fail completely and irrefutably.

"No, the signal isn't very good here. Director Gao said. "Go to a location with a better signal. ”

The signal is not very good? Thomas didn't understand it at all. The signal is not very good, how did he receive the call? And he heard it very clearly in the phone exchange just now, and there was no vagueness or intermittent situation. He wanted to ask, but Director Gao had already hung up the phone.

Thomas, who was suspicious, made a phone call, and then found that the warning of the director Gao was correct: the satellite phone signal in this place was very poor, and there were, but it was basically the kind that could not be dialed.

This...... If the satellite phone signal is not good, how did the director Gao contact him?

You know, it's not a problem with the device, it's a problem with the signal. Theoretically speaking, no matter how good and advanced the phone is in the hands of Director Gao, Thomas will not be able to do it.

Fortunately, Thomas had long known that Director Gao was also a cultivator. Since Lu Wu was trapped in an avalanche and lived for several days (and according to Director Gao's tone, he could obviously live longer, and the situation was not very critical), it seemed normal for Director Gao to use some magical means to contact him.

This supernatural ability is not like the power of a thousand pounds or the flight of the earth like in the movies. But it can only make Thomas feel real.

If that kind of means of flying away really existed, it would be impossible for the government not to know such a long history. In other words, it is impossible for a person with such great power to be covered up in history. Because it has such a powerful force, it is enough to change many things, and it will have a significant impact on many historical events. Even if they actually did nothing, they cannot be ignored, just as a general would never ignore an enemy who did not actually go into battle. Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz did not ignore Prussia, which did not actually take part in the war.

On the contrary, for example, the ability shown by Lu Wu, although it is also a real superpower, is more natural.

Lu Wu single-handedly knocked down a squad of soldiers in the jungle. But Thomas also knows that no matter how powerful Lu Wu is, his flesh and skin can't stop the bullet (otherwise there is no need to take a long detour). He may be able to take down a squad by surprise, but if he does encounter a larger, more vigilant, and more decisive enemy...... It's hard to say whether you win or lose. In fact, as long as one person opens fire unexpectedly, he may be able to defeat Lu Wu. Other abilities, such as killing poisonous insects, recognizing the way in the jungle, and evading the pursuit of enemies, are not high-level abilities. At most, it can be more adaptable to harsh environments.

From this point of view, even in the era of ancient cold weapons, the combat effectiveness of a cultivator was not outrageous. The probability of taking the head of a general among thousands of troops is very low. But this also explains why, in the historical records, those cultivators with supernatural abilities are insignificant and cannot affect the overall situation of history. Their supernatural abilities can be easily offset by sophisticated stratagem and numerical superiority.

Logically speaking, this level of power is the real supernatural ability. Even the director of the factory called in a place with a very poor signal. In fact, it is only a little stronger than others, but it is this little bit that contains real mysterious wisdom.

Thomas moved on. In fact, the signal of a satellite phone does not change suddenly, but has a gradual decay process. He estimated that he would drive forward for another half an hour to an hour, and the problem would be solved.

As mentioned earlier, this is a rare narrow plain in the mountains, if it is on the satellite aerial map, it is probably only an insignificant point, but if the car comes to drive, the widest distance is about three or five hours.

Because it was only a few days before and after, Thomas still remembers the scenery here before, and this place can be regarded as a grassland (meadow). However, in just a few days, the yellow color of this place has increased a lot, and it has even overshadowed the green.

The temperature has dropped a lot......

Of course, for Thomas, who has an off-road vehicle and a lot of goods, this is almost a no-brainer, that is, an extra piece of clothing in it. Even the cold air blowing outside the car was almost blocked by the windshield. So although he knew that the temperature had dropped, he only sighed slightly.

It would be nice to find someone to help. Thomas thought so.

Suddenly, something appeared in view that shouldn't have been.

Thomas was almost startled, but the eyes don't deceive. It took him a while to determine what was happening—there was a car ahead.

Although it is still far away, a car is still a car, and there is still a big difference between it and a stone or something. Thomas was sure he couldn't be mistaken.

Why are there cars here, and are they parked so quietly in the wilderness?

Thomas couldn't help but drive in that direction, and when he got closer to a distance, he finally determined that it was not a dilapidated car abandoned in the wilderness, but someone was driving. Because although the car looks a little shabby, it is only parked here for a short time - because the car is clean, and there is no dirty stuff that will inevitably be covered by wind and rain for a long time. From a distance, you can see that its wheels are full and sufficient, and it doesn't look abandoned at all.

But for four weeks, I didn't seem to see anyone.

Thomas stopped the car.

……

The book says that the Eskimos of the Arctic were able to make houses out of snow. In fact, the igloo is a well-known thing, and almost every boy knows about it. According to the book, it's not really cold inside the igloo. This is because ice and snow are not good conductors of heat, but rather insulated from the heat and make it almost impossible for heat to be transmitted through the ice walls.

Well, theory to theory, in fact, seems to be a completely different matter.

This underground cavern isn't much worse than an igloo, isn't it? But why is it so cold?

With the help of the limited light, Lu Wu could clearly see that Zhu Hua's face had long since ceased to be pale, but had turned dark blue. He knew he wasn't much better. At first, he felt a chill all around him. But now it's not a chill, it's a pain. It was as if there was a knife cutting through his flesh. Exposed areas such as the face and neck are the focus of the knife's attacks, but the rest of the body is not much better.

Lu Wu clearly remembered that he once chatted with a netizen who had experience in polar exploration (he called himself so). According to that person, the damage of cold to humans is actually divided into multiple stages. The first stage is ordinary coldness and numbness. The second stage is pain. The third stage is complete numbness, feeling no pain and nothing else. The most dangerous is the fourth stage: not only do you not feel cold, but you also feel heat. According to the man, this is a manifestation of human hypothermia to the point of life-threatening. Of course, you don't need to go to the fourth stage, but if you get to the third stage, the damage to your body will be done, and it may even be a serious injury that cannot be healed.

What the hell is wrong with Thomas? Anyone with a little brain should run to a place where a satellite phone can get through and ask for help!

Of course, the above is just thinking about it. Considering the danger of an avalanche, Thomas may not necessarily feel the need for rescue (as we all know, there is basically no chance of survival if you are not rescued in the first place). But Rao is like this, even if you have the mentality of exhuming corpses, you should find someone, right?

And amber, of course. After understanding the trap set by the other party, Lu Wu really wanted to know how Amber was doing. While the master assures that the trap is completely the wrong one (since Amber is not flesh and blood at all), she is clearly in some kind of predicament. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to find Lu Wu.

Of course, Lu Wu's biggest regret is to put the badge in his luggage and leave it in the car. But it can't be helped, after all, the badge is just a crystal product after all, and it is not something that is indestructible and indestructible. Of course, because it contains mysterious powers, it will make its texture even stronger. But Lu Wuke didn't want to test how strong it was at all, so he put it in a safe place.

If you have a badge in hand, then the situation is very different. But then again, he wouldn't have been so close to Zhu Hua.

After really coming into contact with each other, Lu Wu felt that in fact, the Stygian Moon Warlock was not a big traitor with fangs. Although the three views of the two camps are slightly different - but it is really only a slight deviation. From the standpoint of the earthlings, especially after this conversation, I don't think it's a big deal. It is nothing more than the difference in the way of thinking of different peoples in different cultural backgrounds on the earth.

"Are you still waiting for someone to save you?" Zhu Hua suddenly asked when Lu Wu was walking around in place to add some heat to himself through exercise. As mentioned earlier, her face had turned dark blue, as if her entire skin had darkened together. Even a warlock can't deal with the cold in this situation. And because she hasn't been able to move freely so far, the situation is even worse than Lu Wu. However, she is much stronger than Lu Wu in terms of magic. So on the whole, the two of them are still half a catty.

Unlike Lu Wu, who still had hope of being saved, Zhu Hua was obviously desperate. It was her conclusion based on the changes in her injuries and the deterioration of her environment – she had come to understand that things were not as good as she had hoped. It turned out that she felt that she had at least a 1-in-10 chance of breaking through the snow and escaping. Now she understands that the world is not so kind. She didn't even have a 1 in 10,000 chance.

Because of breathing, contact with snow and ice, and other reasons, her clothes became less and less insulating. At this time, she already felt that she was not wearing a set of warm clothes specially designed for keeping warm in cold environments, but cold and hard iron sheets. As a high-level warlock, he froze to death in the ice and snow...... This may seem ridiculous, but it's becoming a reality.

Actually, there's nothing to laugh about. Warlocks are indeed much stronger than ordinary people, but they are also unable to fight against harsh environments for a long time.

"Why can't you?" Lu Wu could clearly feel Zhu Hua's changes. Now she is not so much full of malice as she is full of a kind of self-defeating anger.
