The earth was still covered with a thick layer of snow, and although there was no more snow in the sky, the dense layers of lead clouds seemed to fall at any moment, suspended low in the sky. Zhao Ziqing took off her space suit and casually retracted it into the system, and at this point, she really breathed the air of this world for the first time.

The moment the cold air poured into his nostrils, it felt like swallowing a mouthful of broken ballast, and there was a pain in his throat.

As far as the eye can see, there is a white expanse everywhere, but there is no half of a figure in sight, and the occasional gust of wind blows over the mountains in the distance, making a terrible roar, but it shows more and more the endless desolation and silence of heaven and earth, which makes Zhao Ziqing, who is already extremely unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, even more confused.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Ziqing looked around, both sides of the river were flat, and then the past was a high mountain, and the mountain was a forest covered with snow, if it wasn't for inheriting the memory of the little girl, Zhao Ziqing even had some doubts about whether there were people in this world.

After looking at it for a while, she decided to walk along the riverbank to see if she could find someone, but she changed her mind as soon as she saw a swollen and rotting corpse soaked in the river every short walk. She endured a burst of sour water in her stomach, and regardless of whether there was a road or not, she chose a place that felt passable, turned her head and walked in the direction of the mountain.

Perhaps she was lucky, and when she got to the bottom of the mountain, Ihi could tell that there was a path leading down a crater, even though it was covered in snow.

The snow in the pit was very thick, more than a foot deep, but fortunately, the boots worn by Zhao Ziqing had a good waterproof effect, and she tucked the hem of her pants into the boot shaft, so that she would not be soaked in the snow at all.

This pit is very long, the more you go inside, the wider the terrain becomes, and after walking for about an hour, the path that Zhao Ziqing took was connected to a big road. The road was also covered with a thick layer of snow, and there was no sign of anyone or horses walking on it, and no one had been to this place for a long time.

The road extends in both directions, and after Zhao Ziqing walked on the road, he looked at both sides, and finally chose to walk in this direction to the north by feeling.

The sides of the road no longer look so desolate, and along the way, you can always see some traces of people farming, such as some fields that no longer have crops and earth kilns for manure, although they are covered by thick snow, you can still see the general appearance from the outline of the surface.

In addition, Zhao Ziqing finally saw some houses, but they were all broken walls and ruins, and no one lived in them at all, and from those places that were not covered by snow, you could faintly see the rubble and rafters that had been burned by the fire.

Thinking of the scene when the Yi soldiers attacked the city in this memory, Zhao Ziqing vaguely felt that this place seemed to have suffered a military disaster. She couldn't help but be a little vigilant—in such a world, in such a remote place, it was not uncommon for one or two mountain bandits and thieves or something to suddenly pop up from the side of the road.

From this, she thought of the pistol that was still in the system - if she wanted to take it out in an emergency, she would be a little caught off guard, but it would undoubtedly be a burden to take it out and put it on her body now.

At the same time, she thought of another problem, every piece of materials stored in the system must be opened to open the operation interface, which is too easy to expose, and at this time, Zhao Ziqing is obviously unwilling to let others know the secrets on his body.

Thinking of this, she seemed to suddenly remember that this system could actually be switched to another mode.

So she stopped and immediately turned on the system again.

The virtual screen appeared in front of her eyes instantly, but in the white skylight, the screen appeared a little more transparent.

She connected the material information inside with the nerve center of the brain, so that she could easily query each item in it just by her mind, and then determine with her mind, the item she chose would fall out of the bracelet, and the concealment would undoubtedly be greatly improved by the cover of the cuffs.

After setting up the system, Zhao Ziqing continued to move forward, but after walking for a morning, she still didn't see anyone. Along the way, all that came into view was endless depression and silence, and all that could be heard was the howling of the wind through the wilderness and the creaking of feet on the snow.

And after this half-day trek, the legs were already sore; In fact, Zhao Ziqing's original physical fitness was very good, but this body had just been transplanted, and it had not been improved at all.

"What the hell is this place, how can it be so desolate."

Zhao Ziqing muttered in her heart for a while, she gasped slightly, and the breath she exhaled formed a white mist in front of her, which disappeared in an instant. She looked left and right with a bit of a blank look, and from time to time there were one or two crisp birdsongs in the snow-covered mountains and forests, which added a bit of vitality to this desolation.

But other than that, the person standing on the snow was still extremely lonely, as if she was the only one left in the world.

After walking for a while, Zhao Ziqing felt that she couldn't support it anymore, and was about to take a place to rest and eat something to replenish her physical strength by the way, but as soon as she turned a corner, she saw that there seemed to be a small village four or five miles ahead, and a few smoke was rising from between several thatched huts with snow-covered roofs.

Finally seeing the place where people lived, Zhao Ziqing was a little excited in his heart, and the confusion in his eyes also dissipated a little. But she didn't rush to get there, because the pain in her lower back and legs was too much for her to bear.

She found a large raised rock, removed the snow from it, sat down on it, and then took out a few high-calorie foods and a box of fast food supplements, and after eating it, she rubbed her sore knees and thighs for a while, until she felt almost gray, and then she got up and walked towards the small village.

Of course, the purpose of her visit to this village was not to find food and a place to live, because she did not lack these things at all, but to inquire about some information, such as what kind of place it was, and whether there were any relatively decent towns with many people in the vicinity; No matter what time it was, bustling cities brought more information and people figured out more things.

For the current Zhao Ziqing, what she is most urgent at the moment is undoubtedly to figure out what this world is like, what kind of relationship it has with the interstellar era in which she was born, and whether she can connect with the fleet.

However, as she drew closer to the village, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment she could not tell that there was anything wrong.

The village is located in a nest at the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is relatively secluded, and from the outside you can only see the roofs of the houses you have just seen.

And when you look closer, you can see twenty or thirty families next to each other, which is not a small village. These houses are basically thatched, and they look very decadent and old, but the traces of people's daily activities are very obvious, and the smoke just now is still rising at this time, dissipating into a vague cloud of smoke in mid-air.

But other than that, there was still not a single figure in sight in the whole village, not even a sound could be heard, let alone the roosters and dogs barking, not even the birds chirping—it was too quiet.

However, just by virtue of this abnormality, it didn't make Zhao Ziqing feel anything, maybe it was cold and everyone was at home, or maybe everyone in the village went out to work and was not at home. She thought so to herself, and although her steps were a little slow, she didn't stop for a moment.

When she walked into the village, the first thing she saw was two rows of thatched huts, these houses were a little strangely constructed, the whole row of houses were very short, Zhao Ziqing even doubted whether the dwarves in those fairy tales lived in such houses.

Moreover, these rooms have only one door, and the door panel is only half the size of the door, and when closed, the upper half of the hole is still exposed, except for this door, these rooms have no windows, let alone skylights, and the smell from them is worse than that of a garbage heap that has been moldy for a long time.

After a while, Zhao Ziqing reacted - it turned out that this was the legendary Mao Pit!

Zhao Ziqing frowned with a little disgust, continued to walk towards the village, crossed this thatched pit area, and saw several connected remnant walls, from the structure of these remnant walls, the model of the house can be vaguely seen, but because it has collapsed and been abandoned for too long, it is unknown whether the house was originally lived in or used to raise livestock.

The bluestone-paved roadway is two meters wide, and the snow on the road has obviously been cleared, but there is still a lot of residual snow between the cracks. Zhao Ziqing walked along the stone alley, and after a while, she finally heard a faint commotion in front of her.

Although she also knew that there was absolutely no one she knew in the noise, somehow, Zhao Ziqing still had a kind of expectation after a long absence-maybe this is the mental reaction of being a social species, suddenly seeing her own kind after being lonely for a long time.

Zhao Ziqing thought so in her heart, but when she passed through a few thatched huts and her vision suddenly became broader, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that what she saw would be such a lively scene.
