Volume 2: Snow and Blood Red Chapter 25. In the woods

"Snort~" Lu Yuan stepped on the brakes, the hare immediately leaned forward slightly, two track prints were dragged out of the snow, and the noon sun reflected the thin ice on the rearview mirror, which was extremely dazzling.

The hare "whined" and bubbled the exhaust fume, and Lu Yuan irritably turned up the power of the wipers, but as soon as the wet and cold snowflakes stuck to the windshield, they melted, and then froze in an instant, even if the wipers kept spraying snow remover, they could only barely ensure that Lu Yuan's vision was not blocked.

But this alone is absolutely not enough, taking advantage of the noon snowstorm to stop, Lu Yuan's drone released feedback to the terrain image ahead, Lu Yuan has to pass through a forest of no small breadth. At that time, Lu Yuan must maintain an omnidirectional vision, and always be vigilant that if he runs over a tree and does not hook up the side, it is nothing to pull down a few more trees, but if one person hugs a thick pine tree and smashes it over, the hare can eat it, but the hanging of the hare may not be able to bear it.

Lu Yuan had to climb out of the car and assemble the anti-gravity module on the hood, and in an instant, the snowflakes couldn't get even half a step closer. This is not the time to worry about the life of the engine, if the next snowstorm lasts for two days and one night like the last time, Lu Yuan will not want to rush to the gap on the west side of the mountain range at the middle end of Route C before midwinter. The snow will be heavier then!

Lu Yuan naturally didn't know the earth's calendar calculation at the moment, but the most obvious point was that the outside temperature was still dropping, and the temperature measured by the hare this morning was much colder than the first day after leaving the Xiyun, and the wind and snow were also increasing. The sooner you get to the gap on the western side of the mountain, the safer it is, and even if the windward slope conditions do not allow further progress, it is better to find a suitable cliff or something to camp up and hold out until spring before going to the Svobodenny launch site.

Although Lu Yuan hurried slowly, the sky darkened again when he approached the forest, although it was only about one o'clock in the afternoon, but the sudden blizzard had already driven away the sun.

Lu Yuan slapped the steering wheel with both hands, and said in his heart Damn, the last time he walked through the woods, it was because the light was too dark, and he was reluctant to waste fuel for a while, so he didn't turn on the omnidirectional lighting, so that the straight line drove crookedly, knocked a lot of trees, and made those extremely tough branches and leaves get entangled in the driving wheels, and almost broke the tracks.

But Lu Yuan couldn't stop on the spot and wait for the snowstorm to pass, time was still secondary, even with the support of the anti-gravity module, the snowpile that was blown away overnight was next to the hare, and it collapsed like a coffin and buried him alive. If you don't want to wake up and find yourself buried under two meters of snow, you'll have to spend more fuel to turn on the hare's anti-gravity power, which can kill a third of the hydrogen rods in one night.

If you're undecided, smoke a cigarette first.

Lu Yuan took out the remaining half a pack of Huozhuoyun, weighed it, took out the most crumpled cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed deeply, hesitated for a long time and finally didn't light it, sighed and put it back into the cigarette case, and carefully put it in his inner pocket. It's time to celebrate, just smoke it casually and get hungry!

The turbine began to spin up, and Lu Yuan needed the turbine to hold a short burst sprint in order to run over the trees in his way. Lu Yuan controlled the hare and tried not to rub against the tree. Lu Yuan even lifted the front impact angle of the car and flipped it to the roof to avoid scratching. A tree that can take root in such a harsh environment is certainly not a good job, but the rhizome that lifts off is not a big trouble.

In the dark forest, only the two rays of light from the headlights of the hare car were particularly dazzling, and a cold breath rushed through Lu Yuan's heart for no reason, causing him to tremble, he looked at the car window slightly, and within a few steps of hardened fiberglass, he couldn't see his five fingers, except for the "creaking" sound when the track was slowly moving, Lu Yuan also seemed to hear some kind of rustling sound.

This kind of place nurtures life? How cold should it be? Or is it murderous?

Six or seven hundred meters deep into the forest, the coniferous forest was so dense that the hare could not be avoided, Lu Yuan reversed for a moment, put back the shovel corner, and the turbine that had been idling suddenly accelerated! The hare immediately sprinted in a barrier-breaking stance, instantly shoveling away the trees that stood in the way, and the red pines that had grown for decades broke like matchsticks.

Since the speed is increased, there is no reason to stop slowing down, Lu Yuan simply drove the horsepower to the fullest, and made a big move!

The shovel angle rotates at an angle and cuts the trunk in the opposite direction, and the fallen pine tree "clicks" into the most solid front of the hare, and then is separated to the sides by the anti-gravity module, so that the possibility of crushing the branches and leaves is greatly reduced.

It's like a harvester driving into a cornfield, and a hare clearing the forest path in patches, and behind its butt there are gray and green branches and leaves covered with frost and snow, but it still can't startle a bird, maybe they have already fled the winter and migrated to the south, or maybe this is not the bird's home at all.

The woods are getting denser and denser, and the anti-gravity module is gradually unable to stop the fallen trees that have to be squeezed towards the car window, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, Lu Yuan cannot stop, as long as he stops, a reverse car will definitely be rolled into the branches, Lu Yuan can only step on the accelerator at the moment, and rush to the finish line with the idea of being able to help Lao Tzu.

"Woo~~~" The hare quickly brushed over a knotted and coiled pine tree, Lu Yuan immediately hit the steering wheel on the left, trying to pass through the next forest gap, interspersed with the past moment, the hare immediately shoveled down a tree almost as wide as a vehicle, and the hare suddenly fell.

This is not over, after knocking down this giant tree, the oncoming pine trees that continue to meet Lu Yuan are dizzying, after falling down the speed, the hare can no longer accelerate back to the peak, the strong tremor makes Lu Yuan back and forth, just such a little effort, before Lu Yuan comes back to his senses, the hare suddenly hit a rock, the shovel corner burst out of a spark, thanks to Lu Yuan's heart, slammed on the brakes and slammed the direction, the shovel horn instantly pierced the rock and slid to the left, and the hare turned sideways.

The hare castration is unabated, and at low speed, it crushes a few trees with its own weight, and drives downhill with a "creak", Lu Yuanxin said badly, desperately trying to break the steering wheel that is suddenly as heavy as a thousand jun, he doesn't dare to accelerate anymore, he can't accelerate, once there is a slightly thicker tree in front, the hare shovels crookedly and rolls over, even worse, what if there is a cliff in front?!

Lu Yuan tried his best to correct the direction, and at the same time pulled the emergency brake, and the hare "buzzed" and stuck the track.

The raised rear track fell, and Lu Yuan took a breath, staring at the pine tree in front of him that was illuminated by the lower half of the headlights. The spikes of the shovel horn pierced into it for a few minutes, and the bark tumors that had been punctured were gurgling out black-red-black-red liquid, and as soon as the car lights shone through, Lu Yuan suddenly gasped, it was not a tumor, but some kind of egg fetus attached to the bark.

The ruptured egg seemed to be bleeding, and several long black shadows slowly crept out and burrowed into the other eggs that were still intact along the bark ravine. Soon, the faint rustling sound that Lu Yuan had heard when he had just entered the forest sounded. The long creatures that failed to invade quickly froze to death, but gradually turned crimson as if they were burning.

Rao is Lu Yuan has experienced a hundred battles, and it is also creepy to see this scene, the war is better to fight with people, Lu Yuan would rather single-handedly take on a Flood Demon Mecha than be thrown into this ghost place.

Hang up the reverse gear, the hare began to reverse, only to pull out the shovel angle, the track was stuck, at first Lu Yuan thought it was something to do, wanted to hang the second gear to force over, the greater the clinker power, the more the track did not move, and then the backwards are estimated to break the track, Lu Yuan had to give up the reversing first, with a grim face lightly accelerator, the track knots moved a few inches and then the side was stuck, and the shovel angle of the track differential made pierced into the pine tree again.

The system monitoring of the hare showed that there was a foreign object involved in the track shoe, Lu Yuan really didn't want to set foot in this ghostly and longing bad place, Lu Yuan had the intention to use the drone to do the work, but under the staggered branches, the drone could not maintain a sufficient height at all, Lu Yuan silently smoked a cigarette, said grass, turned back to put on the exoskeleton and lifted the rifle, and opened the car door like death.

Lu Yuan picked up the telescopic shovel outside the car door, and tried to insert it into the soil that exuded a certain sweet smell, and half of the spade surface was shallowly gone, Lu Yuan turned over the soil, and it was all lumpy black soil, like withered pine needles that had fallen and were repeatedly covered by radiant snow, plus the kind of egg fetus attached to the trunk, God knows what it mixed in the end.

Lu Yuan stepped down in one step, stepped to the end with a "coo", and the radiation value immediately climbed higher, but it took a little effort for Lu Yuan to pull out his foot, he clinged to the hare, and pointed a gun at the depths of the woods that seeped into the light and then annihilated.

Lu Yuan threw out a levitating probe ball, temporarily acting as a guard, he carried a gun and looked at the right track grimly, what he didn't want to see finally came true. A large number of rhizomes, vines, and severed shoots mingled together as they ran over the tracks, and should have been thrown directly behind the car, but the sap that flowed out of the twisted seemed to be extremely sticky, squeezing some of the finest twigs into the gaps of the load-bearing wheels, and over time contaminating the tracks with more obstructions. It's not too much trouble, just burn it out after getting out of the woods, but the problem is that the sharp stop and turn just now disrupted the rhythm, and it hooked up too much debris in one go.

Lu Yuan glanced at this parasitic pine tree full of eggs with affection, if he hadn't been lucky enough to withstand it, maybe in the next second, the track would not be able to withstand the high-speed movement, and then "snap" and break open.

The hare is extremely fire-resistant, this kind of debris entangled in the track is poured bucket of oil to ignite, Lu Yuan poured some gasoline into the pot, before spraying, Lu Yuan decided to collect some sap samples back to analyze the composition, the plants that can cause trouble to the hare are certainly worth studying.

Lu Yuan put his fingers together, and probed into the gap between the upper track and the body, and it seemed that those broken branches and rotten leaves were all bound by a kind of charred black slime.

After touching it, Lu Yuan suddenly felt like he had touched his nose, and he couldn't hold back his gagging desire to retract his hand, but he pulled out countless filaments, and Lu Yuan pulled them with his backhand, but he couldn't get rid of his other hand, no matter how he cleaned them, these filaments were just entangled.

Lu Yuan's heart was on fire, and he said angrily, it's a big deal to set himself on fire, and it can't burn Lao Tzu even after a few hundred degrees.

When the anger came up, Lu Yuan really sprayed gasoline on his hands, spraying and spraying, the picture of the detection ball of the helmet suddenly went black, Lu Yuan immediately set up his rifle and looked at the gray woods with only the sound of wind leakage and rustling.

"Dididi~" After about ten seconds, the screen of the probe ball changed, black and red alternated, light and shadow squirmed, Lu Yuan thought quickly, he thought of a word, the moment he thought of this word, Lu Yuan instantly subconsciously clenched the handle of the gun.

Esophagus.
