Volume 1 Chapter 26 Snow Lotus
13 January 438 in the Royal Calendar Era at 7.50 a.m
The next day, Ergou woke up early, and so did Anna, it was still dark outside, thinking about the arrangements later. Ergou now has a very clear positioning for himself, how can my uncle protect Zuowei and protect the base to protect the people of the Oschui land? God knows how far they will be able to go? For his own memory, the second dog wants to open, there is no best, there is no force, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Simple breakfast oatmeal, omelette, bacon, bread are all brought by Ergou, Benjamin's family eats very fragrant, Anna's appetite is very good, she has to eat as much as Ergou eats.
After breakfast, the three of them prepared to leave. Ergou wore a mecha to drive a motorcycle, Benjamin wore a leather suit spliced with various animal skins, and also drove a motorcycle to show Ergou the way, Anna still sat in a sleigh and wore a chic snow winter suit, and also took a helmet before setting off Benjamin also mysteriously brought a big wooden box and didn't know what he was holding.
"Heading northwest, about thirty-five to fifty kilometers, there is a canal at the foot of the central hill that connects to the Luminous Lake, and I found the remains near there." Benjamin said
Ergou was silent, silently driving the motorcycle, at this time he was not driving fast, Benjamin was obviously not familiar with motorcycle driving.
The surrounding scenery is not as radiant death as the two dogs thought before, and even most of them are living high-hardy trees, and there are many small animals that resemble squirrels.
An hour and a half later, several people approached a small ridge, and the two dogs slowed down. Benjamin told him to get around the ridge and get very close to his destination.
"Stop, stop!" At this time Anna shouted:
Ergou stopped the car: "What's wrong?" ”
"What do you see that?" Anna pointed to a ridge to the left of the group.
In the leeward of the ridge, a large area of uncovered ground was exposed, and a small cave with a series of snow-white flowers blooming around the entrance of the cave.
"I'll go, it's beautiful." Two dogs exclaimed:
"Let's take a look." So saying, Anna jumped off the sleigh:
"Don't go." Benjamin instinctively shouted out but it was a little late, and Anna had already run far away:
Ergou also followed, he wanted to pick flowers and send them to his sweetheart, of course, including sampling to his father-in-law.
Beauty, especially in this icy and snowy land, in this last era of the decline of humanity, this tenacious vitality, the impact of this flower on people's souls is far greater than the visual impact, if you can, Ergou really wants to take Zuo Wei to see.
Benjamin also reluctantly followed, holding a shotgun in both hands and guarding behind the two.
At a distance of dozens of meters, Anna was instantaneous, and at this time she was already pouting and lying on the ground to see the flowers: "It's so beautiful." "Pure white flowers, yellow stamens, about twenty centimeters high, few branches and leaves, which seem to be still hairy, six or seven flowers bloom in small patches, and some of them do not bloom large flower buds, a bit like cabbage.
Ergou and Benjamin followed behind.
"Snow Lotus? This kind of place turned out. Benjamin behind him recognized the name of the flower, and apparently he also wanted to pick a few and put them back on his small farm.
"Woo~woo" At this moment, two huge snow-white snow wolves appeared in the cave, with the lush fur of the eldest son, showing their fangs from time to time, dragging their big thick tails and roaring towards Anna.
Ergou quickly took out his pistol, his mecha had a pistol compartment in his thigh, Benjamin took the shotgun and aimed it, but his angle shotgun seemed to hurt Anna.
One wolf couldn't help jumping towards Anna, and the second dog was going to shoot if he couldn't say it was good.
"Ah~ Go back, I don't want to hurt you, I'll take a few flowers and leave." Anna, who had just been lying on the ground looking at the flowers, stood up and punched the giant wolf who jumped towards her, and shouted to the wolf:
The giant wolf that was beaten flew out directly upside down and fell firmly on the rock at the entrance of the cave: "Woo ~ Woo Woo" screamed a few times, ran to the hole with his tail between his legs, and the other wolf was also scared back two steps, not daring to make any more movements and just roaring.
Ergou is still hesitating whether to kill him, but he didn't expect Anna to be so powerful, just ask yourself if you can eat Anna's punch without wearing a mecha, and the roar that almost makes people deaf, is it the lion's roar of the legend of the rivers and lakes? Benjamin wrote all over his face in disbelief, wondering who these two dogs were, and Anna was such a strong child.
At this time, a row of green eyes appeared in the cave behind the giant wolf, but they were all a group of curious wolf cubs, which looked a little cute, and the giant wolf didn't care about a few people, and turned back anxiously back and forth, wanting to drive the little wolf cubs back to the hole.
Ergou took back the pistol, obviously seeing this scene, he couldn't bear to do it, why kill if everyone was not in danger.
"Anna, let's take a few and we'll go." The second dog said and walked to the front and protected Anna with his body:
Anna didn't procrastinate and moved quickly, and ran back to the sleigh with a few flowers with soil, as if knowing that she was not an opponent, and it seemed that in order to protect the little wolf cub, the giant wolf did not chase Anna, but was wary of the second dog.
Then Ergou and Benjamin returned to the motorcycle: "Adults go quickly, wolves are in packs, there must be a large group around." "Benjamin is scared, it is quite dangerous to be surrounded by wolves, and the wolf's group hunting skills are not simple, as a hunter Benjamin knows very well.
Ergou directly started the motorcycle and continued to hurry.
I don't know why, Ergou felt happy when he saw the wolf, human sins made the world environment so bad, these wolves survived tenaciously, especially when he saw a group of wolf cubs behind the giant wolf, Ergou felt the tenacity of vitality, and he even had the urge to take out food to feed them and touch them with his hands. He felt that he should not disturb these creatures, that he should not have trespassed into the territory of the wolf.
"You knew there were wolves?" Ergou asked Benjamin:
"When I saw the cave, I just suspected that there were large animals, and the snow lotus was probably related to animal feces." Benjamin says of his experience:
"How did they survive in such a harsh natural environment? How do I feel that they are alive and well? Not skinny at all? Ergou was puzzled:
"There's a lot of woodland around here, and there's actually a lot of critters, snow hares, squirrels, foxes, and even elk, dogs, and bears. There were still fish in the Grand Canal, and when my brother was alive we would come several times a year, and we would come back with a full load, but it was not safe to have no man in the house, and it was indeed too far to come here without transportation. Benjamin remembered his hard-working brother who was barbecued by the skinheads:
"I'll find someone for a while, if it goes well and we have enough time, let's go ice fishing, okay? My lord? Benjamin proposed:
"Fishing? How? "The second dog is curious:
"A lot of them are very fat, there has been no human activity for so many years, although the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, but the fish resources are abundant and abnormal, if all the conditions allow me to even want to live near the river, the fish meat is very delicious." Benjamin seems to be drooling:
Quickly around the ridge, the three of them came to an open river tidal flat, the width of the river in front of them was actually hundreds of meters, there was a thick layer of ice on it, the river was lined with thick snow and trees, and occasionally a few boulders were exposed in the snow.
The ice was thick, and Ergou followed Benjamin directly onto the ice, and traveled upstream along the river and in a northwest direction.
"It's almost there, and the body found at the foot of the bend in the river ahead." Benjamin said:
Ergou twisted the accelerator, and the distance of several hundred meters was instantaneous, and he found a flat river beach and stopped.
The three of them got out of the car, and the ridge on the south side of the river stretched for several kilometers to the peak of the central mountain, and in the middle of that peak was the base of the second dog's sweetheart, Zuo Wei, although it was not very steep but tortuous and long, if you want to climb the mountain from here, it is almost impossible without professional climbing equipment. The sharp black rocky ridges exposed in the thick snow are like knife edges. Looking at the peak from afar, the low clouds seem to swallow the peak, the second dog wants to see the plank road in the middle of the mountain, it is obviously impossible to see, the place where the eyes are full of white snow, the sparse trees are dotted with the thick snowy mountainside, indescribable vigor. Ergou couldn't help but think that Zuo Wei was probably busy in the research room at this time, and the tempting figure of Zuo Wei in a research uniform came to mind, and shook his head with a wry smile.
The snow and fog from the strong wind on the ridge and the thick clouds in the sky make it look like it's snowing again, so hurry up and get down to business.
On the north side of the river is a large open primeval forest, with so many trees that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the terrain is relatively flat.
Benjamin had walked over to a dead tree on the north side of the riverbank, and looked back and forth, as if looking for something. And Anna also jumped around excitedly on the ice of the river, paddling the ice exaggeratedly.
Soon Benjamin stopped in front of a tree, apparently he left a mark on the tree at that time, and then he walked with his back to the tree to the other side of the river, the snow was very thick, and every step would sink deep into it, waist-high was shallow, and Benjamin seemed to have walked for a long time from the distance of one hundred and ten meters, and Ergou took out his weapon from the sleigh to be vigilant, J1 sniper rifle, and turned on the mecha binoculars, he wanted to explore the nearby environment, the wolves just now, and this endless forest, there are still many dangerous possibilities, look at the time.
"Get down, hide!" Ergou suddenly shouted:
The other two responded quickly and fell to their stomachs.
It turned out that the two dogs who looked at the time remembered the drone, and at this time the northeast direction really flew at a low altitude silver drone, and it was found at the base that it was only the second dog who was careless for a while, and sure enough, not long after eight o'clock, one flew in, flying very slowly and very low, four propeller power, and there seemed to be a small cargo container under the fuselage.
"Bang bang" The sniper in the hands of the two dogs actually fired, but the sound of one shot was a compact and imperceptible coherent two.
A few seconds later, at a low altitude of 3.5 kilometers, the left front engine of the drone was hit, emitting black smoke and electric sparks, and the fuselage then shook and flew to the lower left, looking in the direction of the ridge on the right side of Ergou.
Benjamin looked at Ergou again in shock, so far away? Far away, if it weren't for the explosion of the fire, Benjamin wouldn't have seen the drone at all, although it seems that the gun held by Ergou is very special, this is too accurate, right?
