Chapter 163: Cruel Winter

On a fork in the highway, Li Jian and Lin Ying probed their brains out.

"Is this really the right path?"

Wearing a thick down jacket, warm gloves and a beanie, and a knitted scarf that came out of nowhere, Lin Ying asked while rubbing her hands and exhaling white air.

"Probably right...... Here's what it says on the map. ”

Li Jian, who was as "fully armed" as Lin Ying, looked at the crumpled map in his hand and said softly.

It was already ten o'clock the next morning, and yesterday, the two of them witnessed the strange scene of snow in the southern city at the same time, as well as the sudden cold snap, which caused the temperature to plummet, subverting their pre-apocalyptic worldview and regional view.

In the end, the outdoor temperature is now stable at minus 25 degrees Celsius, and for southerners whose temperatures are above zero all year round, it is obvious that Lin Ying and Li Jian are not very adaptable. Fortunately, they prepared more cold-resistant and warm clothes before, and since the end of the world, I don't know if it is because of S energy, everyone's physical fitness has improved to a certain extent, and now they can barely resist this extreme low temperature. Of course, in order to prevent accidents, the two of them are also prepared for a warm bag like "Warm Baby", and they each put one in their arms at the moment, just like a small stove in their arms, not to mention how warm it is.

"You say, don't we look like those Eskimos now? Or maybe a polar expedition? ”

Lin Ying looked at herself and Li Jian's "full armament" and couldn't help but smile.

"You're still in the mood to joke ......"

Li Jian was speechless.

Even though the whole day had passed, it had been dark. The snow had stopped, and the dark clouds that were so black that they penetrated deep into the soul had disappeared, but in their place were dark clouds that had not melted all year round, even though it was ten o'clock in the morning, but not even a trace of sunlight could penetrate them, and the weather was very oppressive, making people feel as if the sky was about to fall, and there was a heavy pressure on the heart, almost making people breathless.

In addition to this, there is now a more important issue to consider.

That's the snow problem.

Now in the eyes of the two of them, in addition to the white expanse or the white expanse, it seems that the range under the snow is as endless as the black clouds, in the range of their eyes, there is a snowy world, but with the dim sky, it is really not a pleasing beauty.

The depth of the snow is thirty or forty centimeters, and in a city like the south, it is not easy to find the snow chains of the vehicles, and even now the highways are covered with snow, and there is no need for sanitation workers to come and clear the snow, which is equivalent to blocking Li Jian's idea of using vehicles to travel. Could it be that they asked the zombies to help them clear the snow?

"It seems that even if the temperature is as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius, it won't have any effect on the zombies."

Li Jian couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that on the highway, there were scattered zombies wandering unconsciously, and it seemed that the low temperature really had no effect on them at all. At most, the snow on the ground and the snow on their bodies affect their movements, and nothing else.

"Let's go, you can't drive four wheels, you can't drive two wheels, you can only walk. Try to find a good place to stay in the evening, after all, in such a cold weather, physical exertion is very fast. ”

Lin Ying nodded.

In order to avoid slipping, Lin Ying wrapped one hand around Li Jian's arm, and grabbed a fruit knife with the other, which was used for self-defense. As for Li Jian, he is almost like this, but fortunately, there are not many zombies on the highway, and there is snow as an obstacle, with their pace, ordinary zombies can't catch up at all. Of course, if something happens, Li Jian will not hesitate to transform into a zombie, with his current ability, even if two evolutionary zombies attack at the same time, he will not be afraid at all. After all, he was in the endless army of zombies, saving Lin Ying from that hellish wall of life.

In this way, the two followed the instructions of the map and headed towards the city of G in HN Province. In fact, the highway they are taking now has a southern extension to the end of X City. Li Jian once thought that if he didn't try his luck and go back to District 1 of X City to see the situation. After all, even if the wall of life is breached, there are survivors who are lucky enough to escape, and maybe the same will happen over there.

But now that it has only been a long time since that day, there are still a lot of zombies gathered over there, and the density is even more ridiculously high, under the premise of taking Lin Ying with him, this is not realistic. Moreover, Li Jian believes that if Sister Xu and the others really escape, then they can live well, after all, they have more experience than themselves, and their survival skills are better than themselves, so they don't need to worry about it.

As the two kept hurrying according to the map, three days had quietly passed.

In three days, Li Jian's injuries had almost healed, and apart from a little pain in some places, there was nothing serious in other places. And yesterday at noon, they had already gotten off the highway and walked through the city.

"At this rate, we should be able to reach the border of HN Province the day after tomorrow."

Li Jian wiped the road sign buried by the snow with his hand, looked at the sign on it, and said softly.

"Come and have a look."

Lin Ying's voice came from not far away, Li Jian looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Lin Ying squatting on the snow, looking at a black object in front of her.

Li Jian took a closer look and immediately showed a complicated expression.

"This is the fourteenth ......."

Li Jian buried the black object with snow on the spot, as if he couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Lin Ying didn't speak, just shook her head, rubbed her hands and stood up.

The black object was not anything, but a human corpse. Like the human corpses they found some time ago, he had no signs of being attacked by zombies, but had died for another reason.

Is that...... Freeze to death.

Not everyone is as prepared to keep warm as Li Jian, and there are more people who are frozen to death in this sudden weather.

These people escaped the zombies and survived in the last days, but they didn't expect to be able to escape such a cold snap, and then become a frozen corpse in the snow.

"Since the end of the world, the zombies alone have been enough to make people suffer, and now this kind of weather is still coming...... I don't know, how many more people will die......"

Lin Ying sighed.

This sudden cold winter is no less than worse for the survivors, it is almost like God is determined to let the human race go extinct.

At this moment, a trembling voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them.

"Save ...... Rescue ...... Help me......"
