Chapter 79: The Long Night (11) (4th Watch)
After crossing the bridge, Luo Fei continued to walk south along the main road.
Although the roadside was an endless forest, after all, he had walked twice before, so Luo Fei still felt a sense of familiarity rushing to his face.
When the sun rose above his head, and the distance was farther than what he had walked with Su Ruoying before, Luo Fei, who was already so tired that he wanted to sit down and rest, finally saw another bridge appear in front of him.
This bridge is no longer comparable to the small wooden bridge that Luo Fei passed through before, its bridge deck is made of a fast plank nailed with nails, the length seems to be more than ten meters, and the width of about three or four meters is enough for small cars to pass.
The frozen river under the bridge is six or seven meters wide, but the bridge is nearly ten meters high from the river, and the steep cliffs make it difficult to climb slowly down from the top and then to the other side.
Why do you want to talk about climbing down?
Because Luo Fei had already seen that the half of the bridge deck that was closer to the opposite side had been artificially removed and thrown on the opposite side!
Luo Fei stepped forward and estimated that the bridge deck without wooden planks was about six meters.
If he still had the title of "Reckless Adventurer", he would still be able to leap through this distance with the help of a run-up.
But after the last script was completed, he had already replaced the title he wanted to replace with Ningcheng Flying General!
"It's embarrassing!" Guessing that this plank must have been dismantled by the "hunter", Luo Fei said mockingly as he retreated to the bridge to inspect the terrain.
Climbing down the steep cliff is actually not the most difficult for Luo Fei now, what is even more difficult is that even if he does take the risk of climbing down, but without a rope and a pickaxe, he will not be able to climb the opposite cliff after going down, and he will not be able to return to the main road on the other side of the bridge.
"Looks like we can only make a big detour?" The cliffs on both sides of the bridge were endless, and at least as far as Luo Fei could see, there was no other bridge that could reach the opposite side.
Now Luo Fei had already regretted the previous change of title, but at the moment he had no choice but to follow the cliff into the forest on the right and look to the right.
Fortunately, the script of normal difficulty did not force the player into a corner, and after walking for about half an hour, Luo Fei still found a place with a much slower slope, and there was also a slower place not far from the opposite side for Luo Fei to climb up.
"So the broken bridge means just to make it more time and energy for me to use up more time and energy, making it harder to get to the town of Criss in the event of a shortage of food?" Luo Fei first drank all the two cans of water in his hand, then put the iron cans into his backpack, and finally slowly climbed down the high slope, thinking as he walked towards the high slope across the river.
After climbing the high slope across the river with difficulty, Luo Fei felt that his physical strength had been exhausted.
Sure enough, after opening the game menu, the value of the physical state has become:
Perceived temperature: 15 degrees Celsius (dropping below 10 degrees Celsius will accelerate the rate of satiety value decline to varying degrees)
Feed 27 (Dropping to 0 will start to decrease health and health)
Thirst 93 (Dropping to 0 will start to decrease health and health)
HP: 11 (Dropping to 0 will force you to rest in a weakened state)
Luo Fei sat on the ground and put down the backpack behind him, and took out the barbecue meat from it while resting and ate it.
He has 3 bottles of the Tangerine-flavored "Dream Vitamin Drink", each of which quickly restores his stamina to 30 points. But now it's just past noon, and the food in his bag is very sufficient, so he doesn't want to use items yet, after all, he just owes a big deficit of 10,000 time coins in this script, and he still has to save a little at this time.
When Luo Fei finished eating the barbecue and checked the value of his physical state, he found that although the satiety value had risen to 100, the thirst value had dropped rapidly to 81, and the physical strength value had only recovered to 13.
"It seems that eating barbecue will also accelerate the decline of thirst value, and I used to eat canned or boiled meat with soup, so I ignored this matter." Luo Fei stood up and continued to walk in the direction of the bridge, while muttering to himself: "Although there are still a lot of thirst values at present, you still can't take it lightly, let's wait until you find a place to replenish water and then have a good rest!" ”
Half an hour had passed since he returned to the bridge, and it took Luo Fei more than an hour to get to the place where the bridge would continue to take only a minute to pass.
Even if he was walking instead of running, Luo Fei's current physical strength had been reduced to a pitiful 6.
He had to sit near the bridge to rest again, and while resting, he looked across the bridge and sighed. Fortunately, this time was the highest temperature of the day, and the wind was not blowing badly, so even though it was freezing and snowy all around, Luo Fei was still not frozen after resting for about half an hour.
This nearly half an hour of resting in place only allowed Luo Fei to restore his physical strength to 16.
He stood up and moved his legs a few times, then put on his backpack and continued to walk forward.
The sun began to gradually set to the west, and just when Luo Fei's physical strength bottomed out again, he saw a fork in the road ahead, and there was a sign standing next to the fork.
Luo Fei walked closer and saw that the sign was divided into two wooden signs: 43 kilometers away from the town of Cress, and 2 kilometers away from Tranquility Lake.
"If I walk at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour, it will take me more than eight hours to complete 43 kilometers.
Luo Fei looked up at the sun slanting to the west again, and estimated that the current time was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
"In other words, even if I am in full physical condition now, it will be absolutely impossible to reach the town of Criss before dark!"
Thinking of this, Luo Fei looked at the direction of Tranquility Lake again, stroked his chin with his right hand and thought: "Since the system has arranged this place of Tranquility Lake here, it shouldn't be meaningless, why don't I rest here for a while and then walk over and take a look, maybe there will be an unexpected gain."
After sitting down to rest, Luo Fei did not eat any more barbecue, because the thirst value that had dropped to 55 was obviously more needed to be maintained than the satiety value that had just dropped to 79.
This is another reason why Luo Fei decided to explore the Lake of Tranquility. He felt that after all, it was called a lake, and even if the lake water was frozen, as long as there was ice, he would be able to get water by putting the ice cubes in the canned box and boiling it with water.
The distance of two kilometers should take about 45 minutes at the normal speed of Luofei. If, in the face of food shortages, the player chooses to go to Lake of Tranquility instead of continuing along the road in the direction of Creth Town, it will indeed be a big test for the player.
But Luo Fei, who had rested for half an hour, did not have this pressure now, and his only pressure now was whether he could find the next sheltered sleeping spot after dark. In his real-life experience, there are usually small houses next to the lake that fishermen use to rest and store their belongings.
"If only there was a fisherman's house by the lake!" Luo Fei got up and walked in the direction of Tranquility Lake with his things, while expressing his good wishes to himself.
