Chapter 946: Snow Log House
After just learning the news, Lin Cheng's heart was actually very devastated, although he hadn't walked much on the highway when he was in Huaguo before, but that was because Huaguo had too many people and the highway was often blocked, and the population of Eros was only one-tenth of that of Huaguo, but the land area was close to twice that of Huaguo, and if he took the highway, it was basically unimpeded.
But the reality is so cruel that Lin Cheng finally had no choice but to accept the fact that there was no highway in Erros, and instead began to study other routes to the Yamal Peninsula.
However, due to the fact that almost the whole country of Eros is covered by a cold winter, coupled with the sparse population, since the departure from Topol Town, Lin Cheng has hardly encountered any decent towns, and even a few zombies have been seen, and the original potholes and uneven roads are also filled in relatively flat under the cover of snow, in addition to the cold climate, the comprehensive road conditions are actually better than those in Huaguo.
Driving a snow buggy, Lin Cheng held the steering wheel in one hand and a cigarette in the other, driving in the endless snowfield with a bored face, the Coke in the back seat fell asleep again, and Bai Ling on the passenger seat next to him was intently looking at a book by Eros, occasionally taking the time to look at the map to prevent taking the wrong route.
As night fell, the temperature in Eros became colder at night, and due to the lack of guidance from landmarks, Lin Cheng had to slow down and stare at the road ahead with his dazzling high beams.
"If it really doesn't work, let's just find a sheltered place to rest on the spot."
Seeing that Lin Cheng was eager to lie on the windshield and observe the road ahead, Bai Ling was a little worried in his heart, and opened his mouth to suggest to him.
"Did you pay attention to the sign on the side of the road just now? How many kilometers are there from Baikal now? ”
didn't answer her immediately, Lin Cheng drove the off-road vehicle for a few more minutes, and suddenly stepped on the brakes, stopped the body and asked her.
"No...... We've been walking for so long, and there are no more signs on the side of the road, maybe ...... Have we gone astray? ”
Shaking his head, Bai Ling flattened the map again, turned on the reading light above his head, stretched out his index finger and gently slid it a few times on the route that Yegor had deliberately marked with a red line, and asked.
"Probably not, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng frowned slightly, took the map and looked at it carefully, and said: "The odometer shows clearly, from the previous road sign to the present, we have walked a total of 46 kilometers, and we have not deviated from such a long road before, how can we deviate in this short journey of less than 50 kilometers?" ”
"So I said, it's really not advisable to go at night. After all, this is a foreign country, we are not familiar with the place, and the vision at night is too poor, we don't know if it is gone astray or what......"
Sighing softly, the uneasiness in Bai Ling's heart became more and more serious, since she left Huaguo and stepped into the territory of Erros, she felt like a rootless duckweed, she couldn't integrate into the new environment, and she couldn't even sleep well at night.
"Forget it, let's go further and take a look, if there are no road signs after walking more than ten kilometers, then we can only temporarily set up camp."
Lin Cheng's heart was also a little bottomless at this time, although Eros at night was as dark as Huaguo, but due to the cold climate and the lack of any buildings around, he felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a vast sea of snow, and he didn't know where he was now.
After setting off again, Lin Cheng controlled the speed of the car within a slower range, and at the same time stared at the road signs on both sides, the previous road had long disappeared under the cover of snow, and he now relied entirely on the snow fluctuations of the curbs to distinguish the road, which was relatively simple during the day, but after night, it seemed a little reluctant.
After the odometer on the dashboard showed that the mileage had reached ten kilometers, Lin Cheng shook his head, lightly pressed the brakes, and stopped the off-road vehicle.
"Forget it, let's do this for today, and wait until dawn tomorrow morning before continuing to hurry."
After listening to the car, Lin Cheng explained to Bai Ling next to him, and then pushed the car door and walked out.
Standing on the snow and taking a few deep breaths, Lin Cheng, who had been stuffy in the car for a long time, suddenly felt a sense of refreshment, and the depressing feeling that had lingered above his head before had finally eased a lot.
Bai Ling was also relieved when she heard Lin Cheng say that she decided to rest, she was used to staying in Huaguo, she thought that the most dangerous thing was those ubiquitous monsters, but when she arrived here, she found that under the invasion of the harsh climate, any monsters and zombies were not worth mentioning at all!
"There's a hut over there, we can go there to rest, do you want to put the car away?"
Jumping out of the car and looking around, he saw a small wooden house that was almost covered by snow less than a hundred meters away from the side of the road, Bai Ling opened his mouth and shouted to Lin Cheng, and then raised his feet and walked towards the wooden house.
Seeing Bai Ling walking directly towards the wooden house, Lin Cheng didn't stop her, he was still very relieved about this woman's strength, generally he handed over this kind of dangerous removal action to Coke or Bai Ling to do, and he never encountered any accidents.
Bai Ling, who walked to the wooden house, did not open the door directly and entered the house, but walked around the wooden house, made sure that there was no movement in the house, walked to the wall of the wooden house, stretched out his hands and gently covered it, and at the same time, his mind moved slightly, and he heard a slight sound suddenly coming from inside!
Didn't care about these sounds, Bai Ling controlled the silk thread to clean up the possible monsters or zombies in the house, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside, and after a while, he was sure that nothing existed, so he put away the silk thread and walked to the door.
"Squeak—"
Because no one has been here for too long, the rusty iron lock on the door was instantly shattered into a piece of slag under Bai Ling's hands, and he patted his hands gently, Bai Ling gently pushed the door, and with a "squeak", the door was finally pushed open by her.
"It doesn't look like it's inhabited, it's like it's a storehouse."
At this moment, Lin Cheng, who had put away the off-road vehicle, also walked over with Coke, crossed Bai Ling's shoulder and raised the flashlight to look into the house, and couldn't help but say to Bai Ling with a smile.
The reason for this is that there is nothing in this wooden house except for two wooden chairs that have decayed, and the workmanship of the wooden house is a little rough, and some places on the walls can even refract the light of the snow outside, and in the cold climate of Eros, this wooden house is not suitable for people at all.
"It's best this way, at least you don't have to worry about getting up in the morning and being blocked by monsters."
Nodding, Bai Ling also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "This is the best, at least you don't have to worry about getting up in the morning and being blocked by monsters." ”
