Chapter 3: The World of Ice and Snow

Cold!

Bitter cold!

Zhang Tong jumped out of the black spaceship, as if he had entered another world. The wind and snow tore him to shreds in an instant like razor-sharp blades. His vision was white and he was completely trapped in thick clouds. A white chill hit the pavement, and nothing could be seen clearly. However, a layer of ice froze on the surface of his body for a while.

"Oh no, it's been sent to this place!"

Zhang Tong put his hand in front of him. The biggest concern now is not whether he will be able to land safely and smoothly, but whether he will be able to find someone else after landing.

The black spacecraft was at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters and was 7 to 8 times faster than the speed of sound, leaving hundreds of people behind. It is impossible to land in one place. In addition, it is very windy outside, and a rhinoceros will be blown away. Although the mercenary ** earth, protected by airborne devices, will not die in mid-air, but it will definitely be blown away by the wind, and I don't know where it will fall.

"Don't think about it yet!"

"Let's talk about landing!"

A gust of wind blew the elephant, a large number of snowflakes and hail mixed in the wind, and countless blades or bullets stunned Zhang Tong. Fortunately, the protective armor was not deadly, but life was still falling during the storm.

Zhang Tong put on his goggles and took out the altimeter from his backpack. Currently, at an altitude of 8321 meters, the landing speed is 43 meters per second. Due to inertia, Zhang Tong will move at a speed of 954 meters per second. Without on-board equipment to protect him, even if he is 10 times stronger than an average person, the speed is enough to dismember his body!

It's so fast!

Zhang Tong didn't know where he was blown up.

In this completely unfamiliar environment, if the mercenaries are separated from each other, their survival will be in great jeopardy, even if they are all top experts... Because the area outside Camp Dawn is not protected by special laws, who knows if they will encounter overlord-level monsters when they land?

The clouds are too thick.

There is no penetration yet.

Zhang Tong tried to find the others, but he completely lost his sense of direction and could not lock on to the other people's positions. Maybe he was blown hundreds of miles away by the wind.

Ahead, the clouds were raging, and snowflakes and hail, accompanied by strong winds, were suddenly submerged like ocean waves.

"No, it's a storm!"

Zhang Tong suddenly spun like a leaf in a gust of wind, flapping his rotor. When it was blown into seven pieces of meat and eight pieces of vegetables, it was swept into the confluence of several air currents. Different jets are blowing in from all directions, and the sky is spinning in opposite directions.

Now don't say it's southeast and northwest, where is up and where is down, Zhang Tong can't even tell the difference.

"Eagle Strike!"

Pale gold eagle wings on display.

Zhang Tong rushed a few hundred meters away, and the situation was slightly better.

The altitude meter showed 6541 meters, and the descent rate reached 67 meters per second.

Due to the influence of occasional updrafts, it sometimes rises a few hundred meters suddenly.

"You can't stay in the sky, you have to land as soon as possible!"

Zhang Tong pulled the altitude gauge tightly and crossed his hands in front of his chest to reduce the contact area with the air and achieve the landing goal as soon as possible. I don't know how long it took to land, but Zhang Tong managed to make his way through the thick clouds, and a large white area of earth appeared in his field of vision.

It's a snow-covered world, vast, empty, and cold!

The terrain is not flat, with rolling hills, black soil and snow, and sparse vegetation, which makes it a unique snowy landscape. From a distance, the snow-capped area is not very clear, but it should be a plain covered with ice, and several icebergs several kilometers high are faintly visible.

Height: 3021 meters!

When the altitude reached about 2,000 meters, Zhang Tong activated the onboard equipment and, like a parachute, opened it from behind. Zhang Tong grabbed the two ropes with both hands. Skydiving is very flexible and can be adjusted in speed and direction.

Zhang Tong tried his best to make the mountainous environment as complex as possible, which was not conducive to development. He chose to land on a flat spot. The elevation continues to fall. When the distance below the ground was less than 800 meters, Zhang Tong still released the device and continued to fall using the "gliding" effect on his cloak.

The snow-white expanse of land is constantly expanding in the field of vision.

Finally, there was a "poof".

Zhang Tong is like a puppet that falls on a hill. Several meters of snow was plowed out more than ten meters long, and half of his body was buried in the icy snow.

Zhang Tong's face was covered with snow. He took off his helmet and goggles. He gasped, exhaled hot air from his mouth, and instantly froze into an ice mist, like a loose layer of gauze.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Tong broke the ice on the armor. No one has set foot here for a hundred years. The snow was so thick that he was trapped inside and could barely move.

"The wolf jumped!"

Zhang Tong jumped out of the snow and landed on a frozen rock more than ten meters away.

"It's cold!"

Zhang Tong's body temperature became very low, his limbs were completely stiff, and he could barely move. The temperature here is lower than in Antarctica, and because we are not ready for the cold, we are in an unprecedented predicament. Zhang Tong wears metal armor. Wearing metal armor in such an environment is just the rhythm of human life.

The armor and body freeze together and cannot be separated.

"Leng Yun and Rong Rong don't know what's going on!"

Zhang Tong took out a bottle of strong wine, swallowed a few sips, squatted down, wrapped his body in a cloak, and tried to resist the cold. Zhang Tong's naked clothes reached more than 260 points, comparable to a shield battle. He was strong, and soon his body temperature gradually recovered. Although I still felt cold to the bone, I didn't freeze to death.

Someone else's situation is not so good.

Huang Tian and Lei Ming's physique is higher than Zhang Tong's, so they don't have to worry about the impact on the environment. Du Rongrong, Leng Yun and Lin Caiyan and others are all afraid of big trouble. Although wearing cloth armor, they are not very warm. Can a mage's weak physique withstand such cold conditions?

Zhang Tong has no predictive ability. Who knew that a spaceship would send humanity to such a terrible place!

"We're all here. No way. Zhang Tong's eyebrows and hair froze, and his eyes looked around. "We have to find a way to connect with everyone!"

The fields are desolate. The snow is covered with permafrost. No plants or animals.

The sky is gray because the clouds are too thick for sunlight to enter. Although the fields are covered with snow, the brightness is not as bright as the Plains of Dawn.

Stay here alone.

I feel abandoned by the world!

Zhang Tong first thought of posting because when he posted on the forum, people in the whole region could see it. Everyone had a coordinate system ready before departure. As long as the coordinate location can be determined, it won't be long before they can find it.

But when you open the forum.

Zhang Tong was a little dumbfounded.

Can't publish?

The forum is empty and does not have a single post. Zhang Tong tried to post it, but was reminded that the Terrans must have a village or camp before posting. In other words, there is nothing to do right now, just take it one step at a time!

"It's really not that exciting!"

Zhang Tong checked the storage bag and found that there were more than a dozen sound transmission reels. In addition to Zhang Tong, there are several in the hands of Lei Ming, Huang Tian and Liu Shuiyan. Key members, such as Leng Yun, Fatty, Mourning Dog, and Scorpio, each have one to deal with emergencies. The sound transmission reel is a consumable, one less than the other, making it impossible to reach everyone.

"The surroundings have not yet been determined. Find a safe place first and then contact everyone!"

Zhang Tong recovered a lot, jumped out, slid down a snowy slope of about a few hundred meters, and finally entered a wide open space.

The name of this area is the "Ice Sheet of Despair". It must be controlled by flat ice field terrain. It is easy to find densely populated minority villages. The most urgent task is the capture of the airfield. The size doesn't matter, as long as it connects to the Dawn Zone.

Humanity has no supplies and provisions, its strength is poor and not worth mentioning. If humans don't gather in every camp, even if they put in more, it's useless!

Due to his amazing physique, Zhang Tong ran in the direction of the ice field, which led to dozens of degrees of cold and saved his life. He can run for a long time in extremely cold conditions, and it doesn't take long for him to freeze to death. Now he urgently needs to make a fire to keep warm.

Running for about 2 hours consumes a lot of energy.

It was getting dark, and the sun seemed to be disappearing.

The desperate ice field environment is completely unfamiliar and you don't know what to expect, so it's best to find a place to be honest and don't move outside easily to avoid danger.

"Huh?"

While running, Zhang Tong was suddenly surprised to find a dog man lying in front of him, and he was equipped with an on-board device. It must be the dog man from Camp Dawn. Dogs have a strong tracking ability. If you bring a dog, it will be much easier to find someone else. Dog owners can predict dangers more effectively, allowing Zhang Tong to reduce a lot of trouble.

When Zhang Tong passed by, he was suddenly stunned.

The dog was sealed in a thick icicle, which was dead. Icicles are cold and smell of magic. This is definitely not a natural occurrence. The canine man was killed by some kind of creature, but there were no signs of a fight around him. The dog-man's fighting saber had just been raised, and his face was hideous, as if he was about to be cut off.

This indicates that the dog man found his opponent, but was frozen at the moment of the attack.

"Strong guys, monsters, aliens?"

Zhang Tong drew his weapon and carefully observed all directions.

The sky was pitch black, and several snow-covered peaks stood silently, crawling on the ground like white giants, staring coldly at the worm's prey.

"Are you leaving?"

Zhang Tong turned his head and touched the icicle with his fingers. From the point of contact of his fingertips, a small crack suddenly appeared. The crack expanded rapidly, covering the top and bottom of the icicle in the blink of an eye. Eventually, the icicles shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground. The dog's carcass froze completely along with the ice. When the icicle cracks, the dog turns into an ice cube.

Every grain of ice slag.

Only the size of soybeans.

It's like a whole truckload of soybeans spilling on the ground, making a clicking sound.

"Great!"

Zhang Tong looked at the ground and felt a sense of crisis. The dog was killed by the ice and there were no signs of a fight nearby. Therefore, it is impossible to tell when they were killed. It is difficult to say whether the creature that killed the dog went very far.

Zhang Tong put on the face of Xicao, hid all his breath, and then continued to walk in the snow. Before dark, I found a snow cave and hid in it for a while. Lift a small ball with magic fuel or take a piece of cake out of the storage bag.

"The chef's food was really useful!"

Zhang Tong opened his mouth. Before he could lower his mouth, there was a hint in his ear.

"Tip: You received a message. Do you want to answer?"
