"Originally, we planned that if we couldn't find out the location of the fourth protection circle, we would set off and return to the eighth circle, but now that we have met you, I don't know what the two of you plan to do next, see if we can move forward together?" Shilon asked.

"You didn't hear what Xiao Ling just said! We're going to the 3rd Civilian Zone, and you're going to the 4th Protective Circle, and the 3rd Civilian Zone and the 4th Protective Circle are only separated by a mountain, but you can look at it, but it's a high mountain! Do you want us to accompany you? Besides, we have our own business, we must go to the third civilian area first, do you want to go with us? ”

Without waiting for Ling to answer, Kate replied to Xilong first, asking Xiao Ling to make a decision, and she didn't know where she would go.

"I said Xiaoling, don't forget, 'I' am injured." Kate said with something to say.

"Yes, although I also want to go with you, I do have something very important on my side, and I have to go to the third district first. I will not be able to walk with you. From this place all the way east, at your speed, it should not take you ten days to get around the snow-capped mountains.

Although I haven't been in the fourth circle, I know that the fourth circle is built on snow-capped mountains, and you can see it as long as you go around it.

I've got a map here, and it's hard to tell where it's snowing, but it should help you. Ling took out a sheepskin map from the backpack behind him and handed it to Xilon.

"Well, since you have your own business to do, I don't force it. By the way, you have these ......," said Xilong as he asked his men to take a bag of things and hand it to Ling.

"What is this?" Ling asked.

"This is the food we eat, there are not many things you can bring with the two of you, you take this bag of food in case you need it, and we can't help you with anything you want, so I hope you accept this."

"This ...... Well, thanks. Ling put the bag in her bag.

"Xiaoling, you see the wind and snow have stopped." Kate said, standing at the entrance of the cave and pointing out of the cave.

"Then we're leaving, take care." Silon and his men left first.

"I said Xiaoling, if I hadn't stopped you just now, would you have followed them?"

"Kaoru's business is the most important thing right now. Let's go too. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Ling and Kate also come out of the hole.

"Where do we go next?" Kate looked around at the white snow all around, and she couldn't see a shadow.

"The only thing that is certain is that we have to go to that hill as well, because the third district is just under the corner."

"You say, why don't we bury Kaoru in the snow directly?"

"Are you serious?"

"Kidding ......"

"It's boring not to say anything, by the way, why don't you tell me about the third civilian area, it's so cold here, how do the people there usually live?"

"The Third Civilian Zone, alright.

You should be able to know better than me, in fact, this place was not so cold before 'that war', according to the latitude that the earth used to divide, this place can only be regarded as about 50 degrees north latitude, and it is more suitable for human life.

But after the war, the ecology of the earth was greatly damaged, there were many harmful substances left in the air, and the earth's atmosphere was irretrievably damaged, so there was the emergence of the "protective circle". ”

"You mean, it wasn't that cold here, but the weather here is due to the magnetic poles?"

"That's pretty much what it means, I don't know the specifics, and what I'm talking about is what I saw in the library on the third floor."

"You go on."

"Where's that? Oh, by the way, the people of District 3 lived at higher latitudes before 'that war', so they are used to the weather.

The main cause of the war was the plundering of land between countries, but because of the cold weather, most of the ground was frozen and there was no way to grow it, so it was not affected by the war, and the previous ecology was still retained.

Moreover, after the outbreak of the aliens, because the weather here was too cold, the aliens did not come here, and this became the 'last pure land of mankind'.

It is also relatively populous, so the early world government decided to make it a 'civilian area'. ”

"If it's so good here, why not put it in the 'Circle of Protection'?" Kate asked.

"It's also because of the terrain and the weather here, which is not suitable for building a protective circle."

"So what do the people here usually eat? Eating snow? ”

"Didn't I just let Xilong and them go east? In fact, there is a sea on the west side of the snow-capped mountains, is it called the sea? It seems to be called the Great ......, that is, the sea that is bigger than the sea. ”

"That's called the Ocean ......," Kate was speechless.

"Big sheep? I don't know what it's called, I haven't been, that big ...... The sea is huge, and a lot of the food in the 3rd Civilian Zone and the 4th Protective Circle comes from the sea, which is what I knew when I went to the 3rd District before.

That's right! I thought about what to use to treat Kaoru! ”

"You're not going to throw Kaoru into the sea, are you?"

"What do you say! When I went to the 3rd district before, I heard them mention that something called 'ice heart' is an extremely cold thing, which is formed by the precipitation of ice and snow for a long time, and the longer it passes, the purer it becomes.

Isn't Kaoru's body yin, so I think my ice heart must be useful. And only the third sector has an ice heart.

After we get to the third district, let's see if we can get the manager of the third district to give us ice hearts. ”

"Ice Heart? Will that thing be useful? ”

"Now we can only try, and Hongyue can't help Kaoru with treatment, so we can only find a way."

"Xiaoling, do you know why Xiaohonghong is reluctant to help?

"I don't know, you know?"

"I don't know, but ......," Kate thought of a possibility.

"But what?" Ling asked.

"Don't guess yet, you move on to the third district, and then what?" Kate changed the subject.

"In addition to getting food in the sea, in fact, the real third district is not full of snow like here, and under the corner of the mountain, there is a warm place over there, where the people of the third district can grow all kinds of food and raise some livestock."

"I hear you say that, this is really a paradise." Kate stopped to look at the snow-capped mountains far away, and the deep footprints of the two behind her.

"I said Xiaoling, can't we use the door to get through? At our current rate, we can't walk until it's dark! ”

"I can't blame it, I haven't been to the third arrondissement for a long time, and I've almost forgotten it, so there's no way to open the door again......"

"Xiaoling is a stupid person!"

I don't know how long I walked.

"I'm hungry!" Kate stopped.

"Then let's take a break. It's still early, and if we don't meet the people of the 3rd district before dark, let's go back to the museum and come back tomorrow. Ling helped Kate take off the bag on her back and put it on the ground, then took out the food and handed it to Kate.

"Xiaoling, Dad asked you something."

"Huh? What's up? ”
