Chapter 423: The Return Trip
After one night of repairing and setting off again the next day, Chen Fan and Zhao Yu finally broke away from the range of the Snow Peak after two full days of trekking, and instead came to the vicinity of the temple where they had worked together to kill the tortoiseshell monster before.
When the two walked in, it immediately attracted a commotion, Lin Yuan was so anxious that he jumped up directly, limped towards the two of them, and said very excitedly, "Oh my God, you are still alive, you are still alive......"
Lin Yuan was so excited that his mouth was full of spittle, and he almost sprayed Chen Fan and Zhao Yu in the face. The two looked at each other and asked Lin Yuan how could he be like this?
Lin Yuan looked bitter, waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Don't mention it, when the monster in the magma appeared, I immediately took the two lamas to evacuate, but I was attacked by another strange beast in the underwater dark river, and I almost couldn't come back, but fortunately, Zha Song suddenly woke up and blocked the monster with his body, fighting for me and Bai Jiang a chance to escape......
Speaking of the difficulties on the road, Lin Yuan was also quite emotional, and continued with a long sigh, "I was injured when I was fighting underwater, and then I was taken by Bai Jiang to an ice canyon to recuperate, and then the injury was healed, and I originally planned to return to the dark river to find you, but the monster under the dark river actually appeared again, and we had no choice but to run down from the snow peak." ”
Although Lin Yuan only told a general story, from the bandages he was wrapped all over, Chen Fan could also see the difficulties along the way, nodded and said nothing.
Roughly understanding what happened after being separated, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that everyone's experience is similar, although the number of monsters on the snow peak is small, but the combat power of the beasts that can climb the snow peak is not low, it is really fortunate that all of them can come back alive, by the way, did Chen Fan get what he wanted?" ”
Lin Yuan never forgot the purpose of coming this time, and after hearing this, Chen Fan laughed, "Don't worry, my left hand has recovered, but I can't play it for the time being because of continuous injuries, as long as I take care of my body, I should be able to recover all my combat strength." ”
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the three of them continued to rest in the temple for two days, and on the morning of the third day, they decided to say goodbye to Lama Baijiang, and when they left, Lin Yuan thought of something, and suddenly avoided everyone's sight, and whispered to Baijiang, "Do you want to go down the mountain with us, with your combat strength, you can definitely get good treatment in the military, it is better than staying at such a high altitude." ”
The plateau climate is harsh, in addition to the extremely low temperature that ordinary people can't expect, there are also strange beasts that may appear on the snow peak at any time, and now the path to Tianchi has been destroyed, Bai Jiang has no way to quickly increase his combat power, and it is actually very unsafe to stay here.
Bai Jiang shook his head seriously and said, "This is where our ancestors have lived for generations, I must defend this place and fight against all the monsters from other races, not to mention that there are survivors from this nearby village living in the temple, they need to be guarded by me, I can't leave with you." ”
Everyone has their own ambitions, but Bai Jiang insisted again and again, Lin Yuan stopped insisting, said take care, and then followed Chen Fan on the return road.
On the way back, Lin Yuan had an extra map in his hand, which Bai Jiang spent a whole night drawing, which could help them get out of this plateau as soon as possible, relying on this road map, it took the three of them two days to find a Sichuan-Tibet highway, although the Sichuan-Tibet line is tortuous and winding, and there are cliffs and steep walls everywhere, it is much better than walking through the mountains and mountains on the wilderness.
Zhao Yu complained as he walked, "Our injuries haven't healed yet, and we have to walk so far, so it's better to look for a car on the road and find a means of transportation." ”
Chen Fan and Lin Yuan were also very tired, and they both nodded when they heard this. The three of them traveled dozens of miles along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and finally found a convoy in a no-man's land, Chen Fan immediately led Zhao Yu and them to the convoy, only to find a suitable car in a pile of fragmented human bones.
These cars have been stacked here for a long time, and it should have happened that a convoy was driving on the road when the apocalypse broke out, and then they were ambushed by strange beasts, and all of them were gnawed away by the monsters, leaving only a pile of scattered car parts, and a few off-road vehicles that fell on the side of the road and were hit with potholes.
They rolled up everything they could eat, and their broken bones were shattered, littered with internal organs, bones, blood, and **. Chen Fan found a relatively complete black off-road vehicle in these wreckage, opened the car door and sat on it, cut the wires and started it again, and it actually caught fire, while Lin Yuan collected a lot of gasoline and piled it all up on the back seat of the car, saying that this gasoline should be enough to support them to return to Yunxi City.
According to the route map, the three of them will have to drive for at least two days to return to the target location, of course, this off-road vehicle is too conspicuous, and there is a high probability that they will be taken care of by the monsters on the way down the mountain, because the return journey will take even longer.
Chen Fan didn't dare to drive the car too fast, afraid that the sound of the engine would attract the attention of a large number of monsters, the off-road vehicle was driving on the road without hurry, and everyone hurried to recover from their injuries while telling what happened to them after separation, but it was rare to enjoy a few days of peace.
……
Yunxi City, Municipal Office.
The gray-haired Liu Yunshan was sitting upright on the chair, his face was black as the bottom of the pot, looking at the information documents handed over by Zhou Tao with trembling eyes, his face was full of astonishment and grief, while Zhou Tao was ashamed and embarrassed, hanging his head and waiting for Liu Yunshan's reprimand.
The atmosphere was solemn, so depressed that it seemed that a storm was brewing, Liu Yunshan endured and endured, and then slowly got up and said in a tone as smooth as possible, "All the people who went to Death Canyon are dead?" Isn't there a single one who came back alive? ”
"No...... Including Wang Yi is also lost! ”
Zhou Tao gritted his teeth with an iron face, and didn't dare to face Liu Yunshan's gaze at all, "I'm sorry chief, we shouldn't go to Death Valley on our own, Wang Yi and I have to pay full responsibility for this mistake, but Wang Yi may have ...... I'm the only one to blame! ”
"Nonsense!" Liu Yunshan was furious, smashed all the documents in his hand on Zhou Tao's face, and scolded angrily, "Who let Wang Yi go to such a dangerous place without permission?" What the hell do you think? ”
"I ......" Zhou Tao opened his mouth and said with a bitter face, "Although Death Canyon is very dangerous, there are a lot of resources in it that we urgently need, last time because of insufficient manpower preparation, we couldn't bring back all the resources in the canyon, and now the city defense of Yunxi City is in danger, and we will face a large number of attacks from foreign beasts every day, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on, so I discussed with Wang Yi, hoping that he can lead the team to Death Canyon again......"
