Chapter 2022: No Man's Land
Mu Fei's shoes were covered with mud and sand, which was very heavy, and every step he took consumed twice as much physical strength as usual. And the cleanup will not help, because even if the cleanup is completed, the next step will still be in the mud, and then lift the foot, it will be all mud and sand.
The two brothers and sisters are moving forward with difficulty in this endless wilderness.
"Huh?"
And the two of them hadn't gone far yet, Mu Fei saw the few snow blocks on the ground that hadn't completely melted, he was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something.
Then, he patted Xu Xiaomeng's back twice, "Xiaomeng, have you heard of it, the snow that is not polluted at all is fruity." It tastes like strawberry shaved ice. ”
"Huh, really?" At the mention of eating, Xu Xiaomeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's really fake, don't you know if you try it?, come on, eat a piece ......and taste it first," Mu Fei said, picking up the snow ball and handing it to Xu Xiaomeng's mouth.
And before eating, the stupid girl was still looking forward to it. As soon as I ate it, my little face suddenly changed, and I stuck out my tongue again and again, "Bah, bah, ......"
"Brother, you are a liar! How can there be a strawberry flavor, obviously there is no taste at all! It's not delicious!" Xu Xiaomeng said with an unhappy face.
Mu Fei didn't care, but smiled evilly, "That's because you have eaten too little, this pure natural thing, where does it have such a big taste? You eat more at a time, you can taste the taste, come and come, and then eat and eat......"
"No, Xiaomeng doesn't eat it...... Woowoowoo......"
Mu Fei didn't care whether Xu Xiaomeng wanted to or not, and stuffed those snow blocks into her mouth......
…………
Only two hours or so had passed, and it was close to noon, the sun was getting stronger and the temperature was noticeably higher.
The muddy, damp ground was much drier than before. I won't take a step, one foot in the mud, and I won't be one foot high and one foot low.
However, just when Mu Fei was slightly happy about the improvement of the road conditions, he felt that something was wrong.
That's right, Xu Xiaomeng is a natural nerd and doesn't care about the surrounding situation at all. However, Mu Fei clearly felt that the sunlight was getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature around him was rising faster and faster.
Not long after, Mu Fei's previous bad premonition really came true.
Around noon, Mu Fei began to complain - indeed, purely in terms of 'temperature', it is not too hot now, only about 20 degrees, but this sunshine is extremely scorching.
The sun hanging high in the sky is like a large oven, scorching the earth mercilessly. As far as Mu Fei feels, the 'attack power' of this sunshine is in no way inferior to the 'autumn tiger' that has just entered autumn.
An hour ago, I was still glad that the environment was much better. An hour later, he was drenched in sweat. If it weren't for him and Xu Xiaomeng being wrapped in true qi and adjusting the temperature, I'm afraid that at this time, they would all be in danger of heat stroke.
Suddenly, Mu Fei had a feeling - he and Xu Xiaomeng were like barbecue meat on the baking sheet, and the heat was just right. As long as you put a little more salt, pepper, cumin, etc., you can eat.
"Brother, it's so hot......" Xu Xiaomeng grinned when she was hot, and she said while 'fanning' with her little hands.
"It's noon, and of course it's hot. It will be fine in a while......" When Mu Fei spoke, he glanced at the little guy, and secretly rejoiced in his previous decision-fortunately, even deceived and deceived this girl. Otherwise, she would have been crying out for thirst and hunger by now.
It's okay if he doesn't want to, but when he thinks about it, Mu Fei becomes more and more worried.
Because before, he was just worried about the lack of food and water...... But now, he found an even more fatal problem - his true qi was depleted rapidly, and at this point, there was only about one percent left.
In this situation, not only will there be no supplies, but there will be no grass and woods to replenish his true qi.
Mu Fei glanced around again—he had been walking for more than three hours, but it was as if he hadn't left, and the surrounding scenery and environment had not changed at all.
Now, he had no idea where it was, how long it would take to get out, or if there would be any danger or emergency.
It was precisely in this way that Mu Fei had to change his policy - to reduce the consumption of true qi again.
He only covered Xu Xiaomeng with his true qi, so that she would not be uncomfortable due to the high temperature. As for himself, he was completely exposed to this harsh environment.
At the moment when Mu Fei removed the protection of his true qi, a wave of heat rushed towards him. The strong sunlight was like a big slap in the face, and it was firmly pumped in his face.
Hot!
It's getting hotter!
This incomparably hot and strong sense of discomfort made Mu Fei can't help but scold his mother in his heart, "It was snowing a few hours ago, and now it's so sunny...... Your sister, what the hell is this?'
Who knows it's okay not to scold, such a scolding, as if taking revenge on Mu Fei, the weather changes instantly.
"Whew-"
First, a cool breeze blew. Mu Fei and Xu Xiaomeng were sweating, and when they were blown by the cold wind, they couldn't help but feel excited.
As soon as Mu Fei raised his head again, he saw a huge dark cloud in the distance. The dark clouds were as black as ink, covering the sky and the sun, and they were flying towards this side with great momentum.
"Brother, the dark clouds...... The dark clouds are so scary......" Xu Xiaomeng was frightened by the momentum of the dark clouds, and her little hands tightly grabbed Mu Fei's clothes.
And Mu Fei was frightened, and after reacting, he instinctively wanted to find a place to hide - that cloud was so black that the rain and snow were designated to be small!
But if you look around, there is not even a tree, and where is there a place for him to hide?
Mu Fei and Xu Xiaomeng had to watch the dark clouds drift above them. A burst of snowflakes mixed with the rain poured the two of them through, and then snowflakes the size of goose feathers fluttered and scattered.
The two of them stood in the snow soaking wet, and the cool breeze blew, at this moment, they deeply understood what it meant to be cold and cold.
"Hah...... Hello ......"
Xu Xiaomeng sneezed and shivered in Mu Fei's arms, "Cold, brother, it's so cold......"
It's not just that she's cold, Mu Fei is also fighting a cold war now.
In this case, it is obvious that you can't go on. If it goes on like this, don't say that there is no water or food, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it even if I have a cold and fever.
Mu Fei hurriedly looked left and right, but still didn't find anything to hide from the rain and snow.
"What the hell is this weather!" Mu Fei scolded.
"Huh?"
And just as he was scolding, he accidentally saw sand and gravel on the ground.
"There it is!"
He was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly ran over. He put Xu Xiaomeng down first, and then waved his dagger and stabbed down on the ground, and the sand and mud were raised in bursts.
A few minutes later, a small earthen pit more than half a meter deep appeared in its place.
Mu Fei picked up Xu Xiaomeng and jumped into the pit, sat down, and wrapped Xu Xiaomeng in clothes. He bent over, bowed his head, and curled up in a ball.
Indeed, this small pit is not big, and it is not enough to plant a small tree, but for Mu Fei and Xu Xiaomeng, although they can't block the rain, at least they can shelter from the wind, which is already very good.
After doing all this, Mu Fei raised his eyes to look at his surroundings again, and the light was already extremely dim at this time. It doesn't look like it's day at all, it's night.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Mu Fei.
"Whew, much better......"
Xu Xiaomeng drilled into Mu Fei's arms, let out two breaths, and her little face showed a sad color, "Brother...... It's snowing again, how are we going to go?"
"Don't worry, I'm tired from walking, just take a break, and wait until the snow stops. Mu Fei said.
"That'...... When will the snow stop?"
"How do I know? I'm not a weather forecaster. ”
Mu Fei glanced at her, "But I guess it should last for a while, at least, for a few hours, right?"
Mu Fei seemed to be answering Xu Xiaomeng, but also seemed to be talking to himself - he only hoped that this snow would not be like yesterday, and that it would be better all day or all night next day.
But Mu Fei didn't expect that he had misestimated again.
In just about an hour, the wind and snow stopped. When the clouds cleared, the sky was blue. The clear sky is occasionally drifted by white clouds, and the beauty is like a picture scroll.
It's just that although the scenery is beautiful, Mu Fei's mood is not good at all. Because the scorching sun began to scorch the ground again.
Mu Fei's feet were covered with snow nearly half a meter thick, and his feet that had been covered by snow were frozen cold. But there was unbearable heat on his body.
This torture of ice and fire is almost driving Mu Fei crazy!
"Fake, what the hell is this weather? What the hell is this place?" Mu Fei felt like he was going crazy, and he couldn't help but speak violently.
"Ahh
Xu Xiaomeng clapped her little hands, and her cute little face had a look of sudden realization.
"What, what do you know?" asked Mu Fei.
Xu Xiaomeng hooked her finger at Mu Fei, and when Mu Fei probed over, she said mysteriously, "There is no one here!"
Mu Fei pursed his lips and raised his hand to knock.
"Boom!"
"Oh, brother, what are you doing?"
Xu Xiaomeng covered her beaten brain and muttered unhappily.
"Who told you to talk nonsense? No one here uses you to tell me? I'm not blind!"
Mu Fei pointed to the endless surroundings and said angrily, "Not only do I know that there is no one here, but I also know that there are no cats, no dogs, and not even rats here!"
Xu Xiaomeng waved her hand anxiously, "Oh, brother, you're so stupid...... That's not what Meng meant!"
"And what do you mean?"
"Xiao Meng is saying, I already know where this is!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Fei's eyes lit up instantly, "Do you know where this is?"
"This kind of thing, can Xiaomeng joke?"
Xu Xiaomeng pouted slightly, as if she was unhappy that Mu Fei thought she was messing around. Without waiting for Mu Fei to ask, she continued, "Brother, this is a no-man's land!!"
"No man's land?"
Mu Fei raised his eyebrows, "To be more specific?"
Xu Xiaomeng raised her head slightly, and a little smug appeared on her little face, "If Xiaomeng guessed correctly, this is northern Tibet." ”
"Northern Tibet?Northern Tibet??"
Mu Fei seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized, "You mean, this is the Hoxili no man's land in northern Tibet?"
