Chapter 40: I'm Afraid of Guilt
Han Che also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he ordered Yuga to stay on the warm ground and continue to guide the clansmen to set up tents. And he set off with Mo Lan, Cold Shadow, Soria and Yan and went to the Ural Highlands.
After walking for about half an hour, the group finally came to the Ural Heights. When Mo Lan saw the cone-shaped Ural Heights from a distance, his heart suddenly burst!
In terms of appearance and shape, the Ural Highlands are completely consistent with the pictures of volcanoes she has seen, and the exposed places near the highlands show a lava landscape unique to volcanoes, which also makes Merlan even more sure that this is a volcano!
However, it looks like an extinct volcano, as the shape of the volcano seems to have changed somewhat, with snow and ice covering most of the mountain, and there is no sign of an active volcano.
However, Mo Lan was still not at ease, and when the others looked around curiously, he walked towards the crater, wanting to check the situation of the crater.
But who knew that she was only halfway up and a slippery person fell off the mountain!
"Ahh
Mo Lan was taken aback, it was too late to catch anything!
At this moment, a pair of powerful arms grabbed her slender waist in time and hugged her tightly into his arms!
Mo Lan subconsciously put her hands around the man's neck, and when she opened her eyes in shock, she saw Han Che looking at her with a nervous and worried face.
"Hanche?"
In fact, as early as the moment of physical contact, she had already guessed that it was him. This guy, he didn't react when he teased him, and he didn't tease him now, but he got close to him.
"Are you alright? Be careful, there's snow everywhere here. ”
Han Che reminded him, carefully leaning her against his side and using his body as a support to stabilize her figure.
"yes, got it!" Mo Lan looked at Han Che, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, nodded, and then pointed to the crater above and said, "I have to go up and take a look, otherwise I'm not sure what the state of this volcano is." ”
Hearing this, Han Che nodded and said, "Then I'll help you up, be careful." ”
Han Che raised his hand across Mo Lan's shoulder, helped her, and walked towards the crater little by little.
With each other's support, the two soon climbed to the top of the crater.
The crater is a relatively flat depression covered in a thick layer of snow. Mo Lan crouched on the ground, reached out to brush away the snow, and found that the ice was hidden underneath.
The ice was not too thick, and it was very solid, and Mo Lan guessed that there used to be a small Tianchi here, but it was old and had accumulated water into ice.
However, this also shows that the volcano has no signs of eruption, and the mountain has lost its original temperature.
Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and patted her cold palm, and said, "It seems that there should be no problem!" Even if it's not an extinct volcano, it's probably been dormant for a long time! ”
Han Che frowned slightly: "Sleep? If it's just dormant, does that mean that sooner or later it will break out again? ”
Mo Lan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question!" First, I don't have advanced measurement tools, and second, I still don't have a comprehensive understanding of volcanoes. However, it is at least certain that the Kumo Snow Field will be safe in three to five years. ”
"Three or five years?"
Listening to Mo Lan's words, Han Che frowned and remained silent.
The Ural Highlands are too close to the territory of the Wolf Clan, and if this volcano suddenly erupts, the entire Wolf Clan will be wiped out! Even if there was only one chance, he couldn't risk the lives of his entire clan.
"Mo Lan, is there a way to predict or monitor?"
"Hmm...... The eruption may be preceded by a glow, and the crater is emitting gas, and the surrounding area can smell a pungent odor, usually sulfur and hydrogen sulfide. The surrounding electromagnetic waves should also undergo abnormal changes. And also...... The water around the volcano is warmer than usual, the snow melts, and the nearby animals with sensitive senses become restless. Probably, that's all! ”
Mo Lan thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered the geography knowledge he had learned at the beginning.
After hearing this, Han Che nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, in the future, I will send my clansmen to monitor every day, and as long as there is any change in the Ural Heights, I will immediately evacuate my clansmen!" ”
"That's all there is to it now!"
Mo Lan shrugged her shoulders helplessly, pondered for a while, and then raised her head and said, "Actually, there is a better way, that is, try to leave the West Desert before the volcano moves!" ”
Han Che was silent when he heard this. The Han Wolf Clan has been living in the Western Desert for nearly a hundred years, and now it is said that they want to migrate, how can it be so easy?
"There are hundreds of people in the Cold Wolf Clan, including men, women and children, and if you want to find another place to settle in the Kumo Snow Plain, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult."
After a long silence, Han Che finally spoke.
However, Mo Lan smiled and said, "Then we will rush out of the snow field and settle in a place where the land is more fertile and the products are more abundant!" Of course, I know it's not easy to do, but with determination, there's nothing you can't do! ”
The Kumo Snow Field is very cold all year round, and it is not suitable for long-term living. Modern people have modern scientific and technological civilization, which can ignore environmental conditions, but orcs cannot.
They are still at the bottom of civilization and have no ability to protect themselves in a harsh environment. Then, Mo Lan can only take them to a better environment in order to let the Wolf Clan thrive!
A touch of shock appeared on Han Che's face, Mo Lan had also said before that he would help him get out of the Kumo Snow Field, but he didn't have much hope. After all, it's not just the two of them, it's the entire clan!
But now it seems that Mo Lan is serious! didn't say anything, she was thinking about how to make the wolf clan richer and stronger!
"Mo Lan!" There was a touch of warmth in Han Che's eyes.
He had never been alone, and he never imagined that one day he would have such a partner to fight side by side.
He has always regarded Mo Lan as his burden and responsibility, but now I am afraid that he has to change his concept!
Mo Lan looked at him with a touched face, but pretended not to see it, and said, "Let's go, let's go down!" ”
With that, he ignored him, turned and went down the mountain.
Han Che was stunned for a moment, but then showed a wry smile.
The little thing is still mad at him!
He didn't care, and immediately chased after her, reaching out to help her.
Hugged by Han Che, the corners of Mo Lan's mouth couldn't help but rise, but she still pretended to be indifferent and went down the volcano with him.
"How? You two kissed me and me from above, did you see anything? ”
Han Ying had been waiting for a long time, and now he saw Han Che Mo Lan coming down the mountain, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
But it's still poor to speak!
Mo Lan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I didn't see anything, you know you can go up and see it yourself!" Han Che, let's go! ”
With that, he took Han Che's hand and was about to leave the Ural Heights.
"Brother, look at her! I'm going to die here, and she's still making fun of me! ”
Han Ying immediately complained to Han Che with a complaining face.
Mo Lan crossed his waist and reprimanded: "You deserve it!" Who made you not serious all day long! If the mouth is oily and smooth, I won't tell you! ”
"You, you, you!" The cold shadow jumps to the feet.
"I'm me, what's wrong with me? Sue your brother? Hmph, I'm afraid of your brother? Your brother is afraid of guilt, don't believe you ask him? ”
Mo Lan hid behind Han Che and deliberately took the cold shadow.
"Brother, are you going to let her do it?" Cold Shadow almost died of anger.
"No way, I'm scared."
Han Che made an extremely helpless expression, but when he turned around and hugged Mo Lan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.
Inside? Is it her?
