Chapter 274: The Wind Rises

It snowed during the night.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the heavens and the earth were plunged into darkness.

The only source of light came from a snowy slope, and the dancing flames brought a hazy light to the surroundings.

Snowflakes fell like moths to the fire, and before they could get closer, they turned into wisps of water vapor and floated upwards under the roasting of the flames.

However, as the amount of snow increased, the bonfires were still affected, and the firewood was covered with a layer of snow, and the fire gradually decreased.

Finally, the last of the flames were extinguished, and the surrounding scenery was completely hidden in the night.

Zheng Guo yawned and didn't bother to pay attention to it. Put on a hat, wrap up the jacket tightly, half sit and half lie in the snow cave, close your eyes, and fall into a deep sleep.

There was silence all around, and he could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling.

In the drowsiness, I seemed to hear the cry of a primordial turtle, which came from a far away, melodious and ethereal......

He slept for nearly twenty hours, which shows how serious his physical exhaustion was.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. The morning light shines through the hole that is half buried in snow, and it has a cool tone.

Zheng Guo felt sore, presumably it was also a side effect of the potion, it seemed that he couldn't use this thing easily until he had to use it in the future, it hurt too much.

Dragging his backpack and enduring muscle soreness, he climbed out of the snow cave, and immediately felt the biting coldness, and his face was like a knife.

The morning sun casts a cold light,

When you stand up and look around, you can see a whole new view. Last night's heavy snow completely changed the surrounding terrain.

Zheng Guo simply ate some leftover meat from last night, sorted everything out, and then put on his backpack and set off.

"Sailors, there was a heavy snowfall last night, which will have a certain impact on the trip." Zheng Guoshen trekked on the snowy slope with one foot and one foot shallow. "The snow on this slope is so thick that it takes a lot of unnecessary energy to walk on it, so I need to get out of this slope as soon as possible."

He paused and pointed to the left front, and said, "As you can see, there is a ridge there, the snow is relatively shallow, and some areas are even exposed rocks, so I plan to go over there and follow the ridge." According to the information I have found, the outpost is on the sunny side close to the main peak, and the specific location is in a mountain col. ”

Zheng Guo looked up.

From here, you can already see the main peak of Baize Mountain, the wall stands thousands of miles, pointing directly to the sky, and the momentum is magnificent.

The sailors sighed.

Zheng Guo took a breath and walked quickly towards the ridge.

As you get closer, the snow depth becomes shallower and it becomes easier to walk.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Guo stepped on a bare rock and breathed a sigh of relief.

A thin breeze blew from the left, wrapped in a little snowflake, sticking to the face, and immediately melted into water, chilling.

"It saves a lot of energy, and it has a good view of the surroundings."

Zheng Guo didn't delay any longer, and walked along the ridge towards the mountain.

……

……

Outpost.

Wu An walked from the room to the front yard with his arms hanging.

The front yard door has collapsed, and some of the walls have collapsed.

He organized the guards to set up bunkers and patrol day and night to prevent the group of white pigeons from attacking again.

Wu An limped around the bunker, inquired about the current situation from the guards, and then climbed the watchtower in front of the gate.

In addition to the guards, a thin man in blue overalls also stood on it, who was the director of the institute.

"Just have me here, you don't have to come out." The director glanced at Wu An and said.

Wu An smiled: "For people like me, this little injury is nothing, it is commonplace." ”

The director said no more and continued to look at the mountain pass in the distance.

Two makeshift towers were erected there, each with two guards and a heavy weapon, which was a luxury.

"Rescue hasn't arrived yet." Wu An said helplessly.

The director sighed: "There is no rescue, but there is a trouble." ”

Wu An smiled bitterly: "There is more than one trouble." ”

The director shook his head: "I don't mean the group of white fish. ”

Wu An was stunned: "Are there other monsters?" ”

"Yesterday Lao Gu sent a message asking us to keep an eye on a person in the past few days. What kind of adventure did that person come to the Baize Mountains, and the destination is our outpost. ”

When Wu An heard this, he was furious: "Bastard! We can't protect ourselves, how can we have the energy to receive guests! ”

"That guest is a friend of a senior executive of our company." The director was quite helpless.

Wu An was even more angry, and scolded: "I really don't know whether to live or die, he has the ability to go up the mountain, so he will find a way to go down by himself, why do you want us to receive him." ”

"Forget it, no more of him, no less of him, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble for us." The director is more open than Wu An, and he must have experienced more similar things.

Wu An snorted: "I've seen enough." ”

Those so-called explorers, who have a comfortable life, have to run out to find death, and they are called exploring the unknown and surpassing themselves, which is really full.

It's just that most of them can't correctly understand their own strength, and they always do some extremely dangerous things, killing themselves is small, and they may even affect others, which is like a pig teammate.

The privileged class who came this time, Bacheng is this kind of person.

Wu An is not as obedient as the director, he secretly decided in his heart that if that guy dares to do something that hinders their work, regardless of his mother's privileges or not, he Wu An will not be the first to spare him, and it is a big deal to resign and quit.

In the distance, there was a sound similar to that of an organ, undulating.

"The wind is blowing." The director looked up at the sky and said.

……

……

"It's a bit unlucky," Zheng Guo bent over the wind, moving step by step towards the mountain, shouting towards the camera: "Suddenly there is a strong wind." ”

This demon wind came suddenly, one second it was fine, and the next second the wind was wrapped in a large area of snow blowing towards him, and it was impossible to prevent it.

But that's what makes the snow area characteristic, it's capricious.

Zheng Guo is now on a ridge, which is more prominent and more susceptible to strong winds.

The wind was blowing from the front left and blowing on his face, like a knife.

Fortunately, this jacket has good wind resistance, and the core area of the body is well protected.

"You can't continue on the ridge, you have to find a place to take shelter."

Zheng Guo covered his face with his arms, lowered his body as low as possible, and walked towards the bottom of the ridge.

However, as a result, you stepped into a thick layer of snow, which was not difficult to walk, but it was very strenuous.

The sequelae of his physical exhaustion yesterday have not been completely eliminated, and now it is really a bit unbearable to come back like this.

However, he can only grit his teeth and move forward, hoping to find a place to hide temporarily as soon as possible.

At this time, someone suddenly reminded in the barrage.

"There's cover ahead!"

"yes, it looks like it can block the wind."

"Guo Ye, go over and take a look."

……

Zheng Guo saw the reminder of the sailors and looked up.

A wall of ice stands not far away, the pale blue of the wall and the surrounding snow.
