The firelight shone on Qiao Mi's face, making the three scars that slanted on her face look even more hideous.

She absentmindedly picked up a piece of barbecue and tossed and swallowed, rubbing the back of her hand against her mouth from time to time.

The meat is grilled excellently, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and there is not much water locked inside, but it just doesn't have any taste, and it tastes like chewing wax.

There is no pot, no condiments, only charcoal grilling, and the people of the so-called big foodie empire are also clever women who can cook without rice.

The flames of the bonfire were restrained by an invisible force, stretched long, licked on the roof of the cave, and the fireworks floated out on the roof of the cave.

The smell of fireworks is barely visible in the air.

This is the ability of the long-tailed monkey demon summoned by Rosie, which can control the flames to a certain extent.

A snow-capped white wolf lay quietly on a deerskin cushion against her, closing her eyes and recuperating while also acting as a natural sofa for her.

"Andrew, how many times has the other party said the word city?" Qiao Mi wiped her hands on her chest absently after eating the barbecue, and the fur on her body could be cleaned as long as it was rubbed with snow balls.

"Yes, Mrs. Law seems to have been trapped somewhere with her companion in the first place, and was only rescued by her present husband sixteen months ago, and what she said was that even now they live together in the city. ”

In front of another bonfire, Wang Li is shaking the hand-cranked generator to charge the power bank, he is now very strong, and he has to be careful not to break the only tool that can be charged at present, or shorten the service life.

If they can't generate electricity, their phones will run out of power, which will make the days in front of them even more difficult.

Rooney and Rossey are acting as translators, translating the dialogue between the Chinese name Qiao Yao and the foreign name Catherine and Andrew, to the two brothers and Daddy Pubu, and their Chinese is so-so, which can be roughly explained.

"That's weird......"

"What's so strange?" asked Linnal.

"We came here through the fog, through the environment, through the sky, through the vegetation, through the species......" She touched the giant wolf behind her with her backhand, and the wolf's ears trembled without any other reaction.

"Through many, many times, confirm that we have traveled to another world, if the other party has been staying in the city, how did they contact us? Could it be that the radio waves have also traveled to another time and space? Or has it even traveled to a large city with millions of people?"

There was silence, and no one answered, because no one knew the answer.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, this question will always be figured out. Qiao Mi leaned back on the "sofa".

......

Time may pass slowly while waiting, and Andrew looks at the timer on his wrist from time to time.

Finally, a sizzling voice came from the walkie-talkie, and a male voice said:

"This is Harbour City Hear Please Talk, here is Harbour City Hear Please Talk. ”

Eyes focused, Qiao Mi said to Andrew: "The other party is from the Celestial Empire, I'll come." ”

Andrew nodded and handed over the intercom.

"This is the Swazi Alpha Mountaineering Team, and I am Qiao Mi, a member of the Mountaineering Team, and I received a call from you. ”

Qiao Mi repeated.

"Please stay on the phone, the satellite is tilted at an angle, and your signal is locked and positioned. ”

"Understood. ”

Two minutes later, a clear and undisturbed male voice came from the walkie-talkie:

"Do you have any satellite communication equipment? satellite phones, smartphones, laptops, any device that can connect to the Internet. ”

"Yes, please wait......" Qiao Mi looked at Andrew and explained to him in a low voice, who thought for a moment and stretched out a palm.

"Please wait 5 minutes. Qiao Mi said into the intercom.

Andrew quickly opened an equipment box behind him, took out a small satellite ground receiver, trotted all the way to the entrance of the cave and set it up, and then he turned around and said two simple words of German to Wang Li, and compared with each other twice, took the power bank from his hand, and connected it to the receiver at the entrance of the cave.

Radio repeaters are also placed at the entrance of the cave, where two snow-capped white wolves are on guard.

With an OK gesture from afar, Linnal nodded and opened a laptop.

The others, including Qiao Mi, each took out a mobile phone...... It is said that before the disaster, the number of signal base stations in the Celestial Empire was 3.2 million, accounting for two-thirds of the world's number, and the signal basically covered the entire country, and it is estimated that there are also on Mount Everest.

"Brother Grass, there is a signal, it's still full. ”

"Give me a call home. ”

The two Swazi aunts and Daddy Pubu also sighed with emotion and tried to dial.

Seeing this, Andrew took out a satellite phone from the toolbox and hurriedly installed the battery, because the satellite phone has no other functions, so it is separate from the battery.

Qiao Mi was also a little nervous, and at this time, the male voice in the walkie-talkie spoke again:

"One, two, three, four...... Five, six, seven, um, one more, eight addresses, I see you, how are you now, and will some of the pyrotechnic effects that suddenly erupt affect your safety?"

Qiao Mi was confused and replied, "No."

"Okay, there may be some colored lights or other special effects in a moment, please stay calm. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Li put down the phone and looked depressed: "Why can't you get through?"

"Me too...... I'll go with dwarf oil", Wang Jin was suddenly startled, and the mobile phone in his hand began to glow.

Not just him, but everyone's cell phones, including Linnar's laptop and Andrew's satellite phone, were glowing.

The white wolf of the snowy mountain behind Qiao Mi glanced up, licked his nose and made a few nasal sounds, this is a reaction without enemies, and now even if he doesn't rely on Linnar, everyone understands.

The white wolf didn't care about it and got back on his stomach.

Everyone didn't feel anything wrong with their mobile phones, but they looked at it for a while and observed it carefully.

"The lines on my phone are gone. ”

"The cracks on my screen are gone, and the film is all re-attached, like new. ”

"Oh my God, it's amazing, it's all recharged. ”

"Why can't I make a phone call when I have a signal?"

"Wang Li, help me see, what does this Chinese dialog box that pops up say?"

Qiao Mi still pressed one finger on the radio and looked down at the phone screen.

"This is the Harbour City Personal Rescue Center, if your mobile phone or any mobile device receives this message, it means that your old mobile phone number has been invalidated, and at the same time with all known communication networks (including military) may lose connection, please go to [Network Address] to register a new mobile phone number according to the prompts, after successful registration, you will get unlimited free airtime, unlimited free WIFI with a bandwidth of 100M, and our remote rescue as much as possible. ”

"......" Qiao Mi.

She put down her phone and waved at them, signaling them to be quiet.

I picked up the intercom again and asked, "What's the matter, don't you have satellites, how can you lose contact with all the networks?"

"We don't know about this either, because all the explanations are not very plausible, and I personally prefer that our city, the satellites in the sky, and the surrounding land about 60 kilometers have crossed into this ghost place because of a fog that lasted about 10 months a year ago, but my wife doesn't think so, and they insist that we didn't cross it. I heard you came here because of a fog?"

A woman whispered over the walkie-talkie: "I remember that the man said one thousand and twenty-three days, and one thousand and twenty-three days they passed through because of the fog." ”

The male voice also became lower and smaller, as if he was talking to her and forgot to close the microphone, "One thousand and twenty-three days...... Isn't that the disaster that broke out on the spot a few days ago? ”

Female voice: "I asked for the specific date, it was that day, we were foggy almost a year later, and you found us not long after the fog started." ”

On Qiao Mi's side, everyone had already gathered around and looked at each other, and the two white aunts ...... Well, they're actually in their thirties, but they're really old-looking, and they're not the kind of Caucasian women whose faces have a long shelf life, and they translate the contents of the walkie-talkie to Andrew and Linnell.

At this point, the vision on the phone and laptop was over, and everyone's attention turned to the conversation.

Andrew looked at the widening and thinning in his hand, and he grew a large screen, battery and back cover, which looked no different from a smartphone, and the unrecognizable satellite phone was covered with a circle, and the original satellite phone battery was still in his hand and could not be plugged in.

Once the call quality is stable, there is no need to repeat a sentence several times.

After more than two years of crawling and rolling in the icy and snowy environment, Qiao Mi has hunted deer, killed bears, eaten the meat of giant pincer insects in the ice field, and peeled the skin of primitive mammoths, and is no longer the pampered rich girl she was used to.

"Aren't you staying in the city, but what about the others?"

"It's dead, why...... My wife said that you have 4 companions who are crazy, and the reason is similar on our side, but the ratio of madness may be more than 5:5, and ninety percent of the population will be gone in the first place, because it is located in the center of the disaster, and the remaining ten percent of the population will be gone in the next few days. ”

Qiao Mi's eyes shrank, remembering the bad picture, one of the four companions killed by themselves was her boyfriend, fortunately both of them are fans of professional sports, they did not die and showed affection when they were engaged in extreme sports, if they slept in a tent, they might be gnawed off at the first time, like Jeff who slept with them.

"So, aren't you now surrounded by at least millions of zombies, and the distance between us is not short, right?

The man on the walkie-talkie laughed, as did the other women, as if she had asked a ridiculous question.

Qiao Mi frowned.

"In this way, you register wechat on your mobile phone, and we will make a video, and you will understand many problems. ”

Wechat in the Celestial Empire almost every mobile phone must be installed,There are also many people abroad,Qiao Mi too,Within a few minutes, she got the account,And then I received a video call request that did not show ID or number。

Her companions also registered Wechat accounts, and those who couldn't understand Chinese asked Wang Jin and Wang Li brothers to help. Wechat has an international version, but it seems that the other party does not open related services other than the Chinese version.

Qiao Mi clicked to accept, and a slightly handsome Chinese man appeared on the mobile phone screen.

There was a black cat on his lap, peeking at the computer screen from under the keyboard, because he was using a desktop computer, the camera was a little far away, and he could photograph two women sitting next to him, but he couldn't shoot his face.

The three of them are all casual at home, and one of them is holding a baby in his arms, the baby is wearing a yellow fluffy monkey coat, and the two eyes are black and round full of smart colors, and they are trying their best to come over and express themselves on the screen.

Through the gap between the three of them, you can see part of the living environment behind you, the lighting is bright and soft, and the decoration is simple and warm.

Qiao Mi was in a trance, as if she was back in a video with her friends before the disaster.

"Hello, I'm Luo Xin, this is Xu Wenjia and Sun Lijia who spoke to you yesterday. ”

The two women opposite each other brought themselves into the camera and said hello to her.

Two very beautiful women.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Mi, the Three Kingdoms Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao's Qiao, quiet Mi, with words next to it. ”

Qiao Mi thought about it, and did a set of actions that he hadn't done for more than two years, pulling the phone away with one hand, and comparing a scissor hand with the other, the corners of his mouth were elongated, and he smiled.

"Do you think that the three scars on her face did not destroy the shape of her face, but gave her a little more wild beauty?"

"yes, yes, I think so too. ”

"Yes, I can't see it, maybe I'm blind. ”

The other party's sound collection equipment is excellent, and she listens to it in her ears when she whispers word for word.

You're a blind ghost, and the two girls around you look better than the old lady if you pick one out...... Qiao Mi groaned in his heart and began to introduce his teammates.

"This is Linnar, he is the beast whisperer, and it is because he can communicate with wild beasts that we will be accepted by the white wolf group in the snowy mountains, share the nest with them, take us to migrate and hunt, and we can survive. ”

"This is Andrew, he's our mechanic, and with him maintaining our communications equipment, we're able to get in touch with you after twenty-eight months of disappearance. ”

"This is Daddy Pubu, the guide of our mountaineering team, who has a lot of survival experience in the cold zone, these two are Wang Jin and Wang Li brothers, our mountaineering team members, all three of them are evolutionaries, with great strength and good physical strength. ”

Wang Jin Wang Li is actually an ordinary laborer, a bit similar to going to Dubai to ask for food, and was fooled into going to the local area to carry luggage for mountaineering enthusiasts...... From this point of view, Qiao Mi is still very educated, and the internal harmony of their team is also quite harmonious.

"This is Rooney, in addition to being an experienced mountaineer, he is also an elemental mage, who can assist us in combat and hunting, and can also give us buff magic to endure cold storms and snowstorms. ”

"This is Rossy, a mountaineer like Rooney, and also our team doctor, who has also become a demon sorcerer after crossing over, she can summon a monkey to help us control the campfire, so we have never had a fire accident, the biggest use of this monkey is to give us demonic vision, which allows us to see in the dark. ”

The two aunts also smiled at the screen and compared scissor hands, and praised in Mandarin with Sichuan flavor: "Your children are so cute, and cats, oh my God, there is still one." ”

may have lived in the wild for a long time, and Qiao Mi's teammates are a little restrained.

The chatter on her phone made her a little ...... Speechless, and even wanted to hit someone.

"Wow, how is their painting style different from Qiao Mi, all of them are full of beards, and even those two women don't seem to have washed their faces. ”

"They're in the wild, and it's snowy, so how can they take care of their personal hygiene? I guess they haven't bathed until now......

"That wolf is so big, the fur looks so white, I don't know how it feels to the touch. ”

"Rooney and Rossi look chubby, they're eating pretty well. ”

......

Strange to say, the sense of alienation that the two sides had built up when they first met and tested each other with words slowly dissipated as these discussions slowly dissipated...... The other party lives in a very peaceful and materially rich environment, so they will have these comments about their current situation.

The next communication shifted to Linner's laptop, after all, he didn't have to hold it at all times, so he could look more comfortable.

"What's next for you?" Luo Xin asked.

"You're moving closer to you?"

"No, it's just one of the options......"

Typing on the keyboard on the opposite side, a picture is passed over, and when you open it, it looks like a top-down view of the terrain.

There are countless rays in the universe that are invisible to the human eye, and by adjusting them on professional equipment, they can be turned into images that can be viewed by humans. So even though there is no light outside, satellites can take pictures that people can see.

"The yellow dot is where you are, the blue dot is mine, and the straight-line distance in between...... Well, more than six thousand kilometers. ”

Qiao Mi was surrounded by people, looking at that picture, it was really far away, and it took three laptop screens to show it. Everyone felt their heads big just by hearing the distance of 6,000 kilometers, and a few crooked nuts couldn't help but hug their heads.

"Oh my God—"

"In the current environment, it is very difficult to hike through more than 6,000 kilometers of mountainous areas, even if we have the help of snow-capped white wolves, it is very difficult, and there are too many uncertainties in between. ”

"It's the same for me, so that's just a choice, the other option is to stay where you are, your life now seems to be very secure, basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation seem to be no problem, there is no need to risk coming to me, and I can also give you some long-range rescue. ”

Luo Xin in the picture touched the head of the black cat, and that attitude ...... Tsk, it's like telling a friend to go to the old shop street for a while.

Qiao Mi picked up the mobile phone next to him and looked at it, thinking about it in his head, and reading it out of his mouth.

"Anytime, anywhere, calling, satellite positioning function, communication convenience...... "And the complementary messages between each other, no matter what, it really helps us a lot, thank you." ”

"If that's all we have, we won't call it remote rescue but remote assistance, na, lay it out according to this diagram, as for what it does, let me sell it." ”

Luo Xin sent another diagram of drawing with a mouse.

It's very simple, everyone understands at a glance, Andrew, Wang Jin, and Wang Li each took out their mobile phones, packed out a small piece of open space on the deerskin, and put the mobile phones on top of it equidistantly.

The light emitted on the phone as before, but this time the three phones formed a triangle with each other, and each sent an arc to connect each other into a circle.

Seeing this, Rooney covered his mouth, raised the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Hell, I should have thought just now that the fluctuation when the mobile phone was transformed just now was a spatial fluctuation, and he mastered the teleportation technique." ”

As she spoke, a beautiful green storage box appeared in the circular pattern of mobile phones in the field, and Rooney stopped Wang Jin, who was a little impulsive.

When the light dissipated, she first asked Andrew and the three to put away the phone, and then opened the storage box.

There was salt, pans, spatulas, condiments, toothpaste, toothbrushes, all of which were filled with the daily necessities they needed so much, and Rossey cried as she hugged a bag of toilet paper.

There was a burst of cheers in the cave, and the wolves next to them, who didn't know what kind of wolves were talking about, also howled.

Luo Xin on the screen smiled and said to Qiao Mi, who was still guarding in front of the notebook:

"Let's get here today, it's a long time coming. ”

After waving his hand, the picture cuts off.
