Chapter 173: Snow Field

Click-click-click...... Click-click-click......

Woo –

The train stopped in a pine forest, and Draenor looked at the scenery in front of them, which stretched down the mountain to the sky, and everywhere they could see was snow-white, and it seemed that they had made it to the Moyal Plateau in the south.

Just as he was about to step out of the carriage, Draenor was smashed into the ground by the snow falling from the treetops. The snow ran down the back collar of his coat to his back, and he shivered, and quickly ripped open the corner of his coat to shake the wet and icy thing off.

"Cooper! What whistle to play in the deep mountains and old forests! In case of an avalanche, we're all going to die here! Vekiriko shouted to Uncle Dwarf in the incineration chamber and walked over to Draenor's side with a blanket.

"Save some effort, Vicky, after a week of driving, there are not many supplies left." Draenor put his hands together and sighed, hoping to ease the numbness of the cold a little.

He took out the notebook from his arms, the sheepskin map that Moran had given him before had lost its original value, and even if it was used for heating, it seemed a little chicken, so he simply asked Jeanne to crop the map into a booklet to record the daily consumption of supplies.

Fingers flipped back and forth a few pages, and finally stopped at the fuel column, except for the pictures, the right side was full of graffiti scribbled with charcoal, and he woke up a little groggy in the morning, frozen by the ice and snow, and he realized that today's record was not yet complete.

"Hmm...... I forgot how much fuel was left, Cooper, how far could this broken piece of iron go? ”

Draenor reached out and tapped on the carriage and asked the dusty-faced uncle.

"Don't expect too much, the wood is all burned, and even the boxes of fuel are thrown into the furnace and burned to ashes. The steam that just came out was the last bit left. Cooper leaned against the door of the carriage and pointed to a puff of smoke slowly rising from the chimney.

This method is easy to solve, there are pine trees within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and eating and drinking is a problem, but there is no need to worry about fuel as well. Draenor walked over to the pine tree and kicked lightly at the trunk, the branches not shaking significantly, just a few wisps of mist.

"Then why are you still stunned? It's still far from Kadewa, so cut down some trees and hit the road! With that, Draenor walked over to Cooper's side, intending to draw the axe from his waist.

The uncle smacked his lips impatiently and moved the hand axe behind him, "If only it were that simple, do you know why it took us almost a week to cover less than five thousand kilometers?" Let's put aside the route of going around in circles and take a look at these holes! ”

Cooper moved his stout body and climbed along the metal bracket of the locomotive to the edge of the tank, pointing to two or three thumb-sized holes and shouting to the crowd, "See? Bullet holes! You two little girls were beaten out by those wolf cubs when they ran out! There was a lot of water leakage, but fortunately it was of relatively reliable quality, and it was fortunate that it hadn't exploded for so long, how far did you expect this old thing to run? ”

For some reason, Draenor felt that Cooper always wanted to take every opportunity to show him how good the dwarves were, but this time even his old man had to admit that the train couldn't start again for the time being.

"How long will it take you to fix it?"

"In the condition of complete tools, three days...... What are you looking at me for? I'm not a fairy, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! ”

"Isn't that the same as not saying it......" This time even Jeanne couldn't help but mutter, and she climbed out of the carriage and walked to Draenau's side.

"Mr. Delanor, what's next?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Draenor, he didn't hate the trust of others, but it was difficult for him to make decisions in this environment. Looking up, you can only see a little bare ground in the east, and the weather conditions in the snowy fields are harsh, but it seems that you can only try to stay here for a few days.

Closing the manual and putting it back in his arms, Draenor turned and walked towards the carriage, "Hurry up and pack your bags, we need to find a way to head east while it's still early." ”

Pushing open the shelves, Draenor pulled the firearm out of the camera obscura, retracting it and tethering the purse full of gold coins to his waist. The kettle was all given to Vicilly for safekeeping, Jeanne wrapped the rest of the food in a blanket and carried it on her shoulder, while Cooper's heaviest and widest bedding was carried on her back.

Although Draenor tried several times to convince Cooper to let him share some of the weight, the uncle insisted that "I don't want to let the bedding around me smell like a wolf." This always makes people cry and laugh, and the dwarves who used to deal with broken copper and iron all day long also have their own unique "cleanliness".

Shouldering Vickyrico's bulging backpack and draping the rest of the blanket behind him, Draenor and the group left the carriage of the "Spirited Water" and headed away in the direction of the rising sun.

Even in the forest, the reflection of the snow kept Draenor open, and he pulled out his pocket watch, the hour and minute hands clamped tightly to the left and right of the Roman numeral "nine".

"Nine-forty-six, before noon, the sun has already risen so high." The temperature was getting muggy, and Draenor could barely remember how he felt when he was blown by the cold wind a few hours ago, even if the altitude was high enough, Abel was still in the tropics, and the thin ice covering his feet was already showing signs of melting.

The group walked for an unknown amount of time, until the road in front of them was cut in two by a river that had just thawed, and when they looked back and followed the footsteps they had come, the vague outline of the train had disappeared into the vast snowfield.

"It's almost here, we've been walking for four hours, and I'm going to pass out if we continue like this!" Cooper threw the futon into the snow and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Jeanne walked into the woods by the river and looked left and right for a moment, "Hmm...... It looks like the trees here are dense enough to keep us safe from the storm at night, so why not take a break here? ”

It's also good to find a safe place to stay for two days, after all, the group needs to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and they can also hunt to replenish their inventory after resting.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of Draenau's mouth raised, "Find a few sturdy branches, let's set up a tent and rest for a few days." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two tents had been set up according to the plan, and no one cared about Cooper's complaints, so for the time being, he and Draenor could only squeeze together for one night, and the decision would have to be made depending on the situation of the supplies in the future.

At least everything is on track, without the threat of the curse, Draenor feels indescribably relaxed, they haven't figured out a way to leave the Abel continent in a short time, they still have to follow what Vickyli said, send Cooper back to his hometown first, recuperate and then think about the affairs of the Azra.

After the campfire was lit, Draenor slouched against the futon piled up, so suddenly that he felt a little lost.

All in all, we have to find a way to live in the Abel Continent, just don't run into any weirdos!

Taking off his boots, Draenor let the warmth spread from the soles of his feet to his body, and lay down in the tent with his eyes closed, falling into silence along with the snowy field.
