Chapter 32: The Familiar Stranger I
Sitting on the top of the mountain, Mo Ye, who had taken out the food and ate it at some point, looked very leisurely - or 'dead pigs don't bother boiling water'.
Anyway, he was already lost, such a large snow field, and without even knowing the basic location, Mo Xie felt that the possibility of being able to find it was basically zero.
So, instead of letting yourself scurry around like a headless fly, it's better to stop and rest and replenish your energy.
The Holy Scriptures didn't infuse Mo Xie with food in his empty stomach when it finished repairing his body, but Mo Xie ran so far with hunger.
"Click~!"
In terms of appearance, the compressed food exchanged from the "Holy Scripture" is no different from the compressed biscuits sold in the supermarket, but in terms of content, if Mo Ye is allowed to eat the compressed biscuits in the supermarket, he will probably have to eat more than a dozen packs to feel a little full, but the compressed biscuits exchanged from the "Holy Scripture" only need a few packs to do it.
That's what it tastes like......
“…… It seems that the price of salt has risen a lot......"
Mo Xie put away a biscuit that he had only asked for two bites, as a native of the Celestial Empire, he really couldn't accept this kind of food.
The compressed biscuits originally redeemed from the "Holy Text" were not like this, and Mo Xie felt that this time the "Holy Scripture" was deliberate - after all, at that time, it was so vigorously promoting the "Living Point Map" Mo Xie didn't buy it, and now it is really not too much to say that Mo Ye's food is a little worse.
"Okay, let me do the math~~"
After barely allowing himself to hold up enough food, Mo Ye used his mental power to clear a place on the top of the mountain.
"Zheng!"
Taking out the Huolin Sword from the space bracelet, Mo Ye directly used the tip of the sword to carve it on the rocky ground on the top of the mountain.
"Assuming point A is 'where I should be without the sentinel', and assuming point B is where I met Logan, then the direction of line segment AB is west......" Mo Xie carved two points on a rock large enough he selected, "Oh, no, it should be said that line segment BA is the ...... pointing west"
At the first step of deduction, Mo Xie had already begun to scratch his hair, and he always looked messy when he was lost.
"Okay, now the line segment BA is the West!"
A scratch is used to connect two points marked 'A' and 'B' respectively, and an additional arrow is carved on point A.
"Then let's say I'm about two kilometers to the east...... Or a thousand meters?"
Mo Xie decided to draw a rough idea first, so he drew a line from point B, but although he said 'east' in his mouth, he drew a diagonal line of unknown meaning when he reached his hand.
Looking at that direction, it doesn't look like it's 'east', but it looks like it's going northeast.
However, it is obvious that Mo Ye will not care about this kind of detail, because this thing has not marked the direction of due north on the 'map' from the beginning, so his sense of direction will be completely messed up as soon as the three points come out.
Where is the east side?
Leave him alone.
"Then I lifted off into the air and encountered the 'ghost head wind', which was blown out of the way for about three or four thousand meters......"
Well, when he combed through this place by himself, Mo Xie even began to round up the mileage, and it could even be said that he was running a train.
This can only show that Mo Ye is already confused, but Mo Ye, who is in the 'brain is blank', still uses the sword in his hand to draw a circle at the end of the line segment starting from point B, and he carves a 'C' at the center of the circle.
It's a big circle that encompasses all the dots on the stone.
"Okay, I'm supposed to be at some point on the circle right now. ”
Putting the sword back away, Mo Ye clapped his hands.
Looking at his work, Mo Ye felt good.
It's just that anyone who understands is going to be overwhelmed when they stand here - because this 'map' is useless.
"Assuming that the wind direction in the upper altitude is constant, then I only need to rise again, and then fly in the direction of the headwind to return to point C, and then use point C as a radius to do a straight-line exploration of a distance of three thousand meters to find the traces left by the original battle!"
Just like this picture on the ground, Mo Ye's logic is a bit too much for ordinary people to keep up with.
It has been assuming that the assumptions of one ring are clasped by the assumptions of the other, and as long as any of the assumptions of one ring are not true, the whole assumption of Mo Ye will be overturned - and in fact, it is so easy to overturn this assumption that any normal person with a clear mind can see it.
But if anyone thinks about it from Mo Ye's point of view, they will feel ......
This is actually a man who walks on the road to the end of his rope......
The punishment for failing the escort mission is not something Mo Ye can afford, and if he doesn't complete the 'pre-task' of 'leaving the snowfield', it is estimated that the subsequent tasks will not be triggered.
After coming to this world for so long, Mo Xie has already seen something.
He knew that he was definitely going to fight side by side with the X-Men against the Sentinels, this was the main quest, but now he was still standing at the gate of the main quest, and he didn't even have a stepping stone in his hand.
So no matter what, he has to find a way to get back.
Even if the method he came up with seemed full of loopholes.
He just didn't want to waste his time staying where he was.
"Whew~!"
It took about ten minutes to take off into the air and rush into the gap between the troposphere and the stratosphere.
The altitude of the snow field is already high, and the wind direction in the stratosphere corresponding to such a high altitude is actually extremely unstable.
However, Mo Ye, who had skipped too many classes at the beginning, didn't know this at all - oh, in fact, even if Mo Xie didn't skip class, he still wouldn't know this knowledge point, because there was no need for high school students to master this knowledge point.
Not everyone is qualified to be a pilot, and even reserve pilots are not told that they will be operating in the stratosphere for long periods of time.
"Now the wind is going this way, so I'll fly that way!"
Ascending to the stratosphere and sensing the direction of the wind, Mo Xie turned around and descended, and after choosing an altitude that would not make him feel hypoxic and could rise to the correct direction at any time, Mo Ye began to fly at full speed.
From God's point of view, Mo Ye was flying northward at this time......
Well, he did fly in the wrong direction......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Charles, is there still no news from Logan?"
On this last aircraft belonging to the X-Men, Magneto has just finished today's 'routine' - daily inspection and maintenance of the status of this aircraft.
With his own ability, this job suits him well, and it is precisely because of Magneto's maintenance that the aircraft has been able to operate so strongly.
"No, there is an unknown power in this snowfield that can interfere with mental power, and even with the amplification of the main brain, I can't be able to connect to Logan at any time. ”
Magneto's meeting with Professor X took place at the breakfast table, which was a separate time for the older ones, who would always squat at their posts with their own breakfasts.
Especially now that there are only three people on the plane, Storm has a much heavier responsibility than when Logan was there.
"Wait a minute, I'll help you turn up the power of the main brain and see if it works. ”
Magneto pinched the spoon, and in the spoon was a spoonful of something that looked like thick cereal, which must not have tasted good, so Magneto had only eaten three spoonfuls so far.
"No need, the power of the main brain is already large enough now, if you want to get more power, I'm afraid you want to suspend some other functions on the plane. Professor X shook his head in refusal, "It's not a good time to land." ”
"Really, Charles, you're too cautious, even if you suspend the plane's function, relying on my 'magnetic field' will be enough to keep it levitating. Magneto snorted, "Do you think my old bones can't withstand the wind here?"
"Maybe that's a thing. ”
Professor X controls the wheelchair to the porthole.
The sky outside the window was clean, not even a trace of floating clouds.
