Chapter 61: The Frost Tribulation (I)
There is heavy snow all over the ground, but for the time being, it is difficult to stop a few special fighters, such terrain and climate, I have experienced it during simulation training, and it is not a particularly difficult problem to overcome.
Fortunately, in addition to the electronic devices, some machines powered by energy cartridges are still able to move forward. Everyone switched to automatic sleds on the snow, otherwise they wouldn't know how much time it would take to get along the way.
Everywhere was a white expanse, nothing could be seen clearly, and the current direction could still be discerned, and everyone moved quickly in the direction of the pole. With the help of snow machinery, the speed is much faster.
The temperature was very low, and although there were adjustable jackets and underwear, the air-conditioning still made everyone feel uncomfortable. This is certainly not natural weather, even in the north and south poles of the earth, it is impossible to be so cold. However, since we know that there is a problem here, everyone is mentally prepared.
The further forward I got, the more cold I felt. At first, you could still see some scattered animals on the snow, but now there are none. The terrain feels higher and higher, the helmet is still working, and there is no time when the air is thin and it is difficult to breathe.
I don't know how far I advanced, but there are a few wheel prints of snow machinery left behind me, and the edges are not visible at all. Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and although everyone had trained in various environments, simulation training could not be compared to the real environment. Especially F1 and Radar, plus the three of Gao He, from birth to school, are in the tropics, and they have never seen this kind of weather at all, and it is very fresh.
The feeling of freshness is no match for the increasingly chilly air. It's not normal, it's so abnormal. The temperature here, under normal circumstances, is simply not so low. The panther had just measured it, and it was more than 80 degrees below zero, and if it weren't for the equipment of those special forces, this group would have been frozen and didn't know the southeast and northwest.
I walked for a day and a night, stopping only to rest and eat a few things. In such terrain and weather, it is very physically exhausting, and now it is necessary to find a suitable place to set up a temporary camp.
The equipment is readily available, and the location is easy to find in this highland terrain. Behind a large rock sheltered from the wind, a simple camp was quickly set up, and everyone curled up in it to rest, and by the way, they discussed the next plan.
There is certainly nothing wrong with the direction, but the only problem now is that the electromagnetic interference is so serious that there is no way to contact the warships in space, and naturally there is no way to report progress and obtain orders. The electromagnetic interference here is not at all an ordinary electronic storm solar wind or something, it is simply like a huge electromagnetic cover, which firmly seals everything that is shrouded in it, and the outside news cannot be transmitted, and the inside news cannot be sent.
Before going to bed, Gao He responsibly checked everyone's weapons again. Fortunately, this batch of new weapons has a new material coating on the surface, and it is actually very good, and the performance is no different from that at room temperature. But it's a pity that the ordinary assault rifle that Gao He brought with him has basically become a waste.
At low temperatures, the cooling system is frozen and cannot be effective at all. The current guns are all linkage design, and if there is a problem in one place, the whole cannot be used. It seems that this point must be mentioned to parents in the future, this is a weapon, not a super luxury car, don't need to be so fine!
There was no way, the energy cartridge was left behind, and the guns could only be left in place, along with those items that could be discarded this time. In this kind of weather and environment, the weight on the body can be a little less, even if it is as strong as Gao He's physical strength, it can't be wasted at will. The energy saved may be used in other places.
After resting for almost ten hours, the team continued to set off. Although it is a plateau, it does not have the terrain of ordinary mountains, only a gentle slope. It's just that there is no other change except for the white scenery ahead, which is a very serious test of people's will.
Gao He's acting very relaxed now, with the help of snow machinery, doesn't need to be strenuous on everyone's part. A physically perverted person like Gao He has no effect at all. However, Gao He is a little worried, the electromagnetic shielding in front is getting stronger and stronger, and then moving forward, it is estimated that these snow auxiliary machinery will also have problems, and when the time comes, it will depend solely on everyone's physical strength.
It's getting colder, at least yesterday and today, with temperatures dropping by more than 10 degrees. Of course, in such a cold place, no matter how cold it is more than ten degrees, there is no special feeling for the time being. The team continued to march forward for a day, and finally saw something different. I saw the snowy mountains, and at this time, as Gao He expected, the snow auxiliary machinery finally failed and could not move under the strong electromagnetic influence.
After a night's rest, we set off again, this time, we had to walk. Now it's an uphill road, and I can't use the ski equipment at all, so I can only rely on two legs honestly. The measuring instruments were useless, and in either direction, they were a chaotic cacophony and useless specks that could only remain here.
The compass also seems to be unusable at all because of the strong magnetic field, and it has no use other than dripping and dizzy. I remember the direction I started to travel, but who can guarantee that I won't get lost in such a situation?
At this time, Takatsuru's feelings came into play again. Since yesterday's rest, Gao He has felt that there is a very strong momentum in front of him. If there's a problem, it's definitely the place. Everyone believed in Gao He's recent instincts, and unanimously agreed that Gao He would lead the way.
Gao He felt that the grand momentum was not far ahead. Of course, this is also relative, at least at such a slow pace as they walk, according to Gao He's estimate, it will take at least more than a day to arrive. If it is in peacetime, this is only a distance of about dozens of kilometers, but now it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Here, there is no trace of any creature at all. I don't know if it's Gao He's illusion, the momentum in front of him obviously repels any creature that takes the initiative to approach, and he can find that thick rejection that is almost irresistible.
The panther didn't seem to feel it, not affected at all. And Gao He, under the strict training of the army and the constant flow of breath in his body, stubbornly caught up with the resistance and struggled forward. In contrast, Gao He is the most strenuous one.
Of course, Gao He didn't say this to them, he was afraid of causing everyone's worries. Especially the beautiful women, who have been caring about Gao He recently, Gao He can be seen even if it is wood. It's just that Gao He himself doesn't have any special feelings for the time being, but he still understands this point if he doesn't let the people who care about him worry too much.
In front of us, there was a tall mountain range, covered in ice and snow, and from a distance, it looked like an iceberg. The group walked for half a day before reaching the foot of the iceberg. This is originally a plateau, but a higher mountain range suddenly appears, and the surrounding flat terrain is very spectacular. The mountain is full of overhanging icicles, and from this direction there is no way up at all.
At the foot of the mountain, you can feel a very frantic electromagnetic storm, as long as there are bits and pieces of equipment that are used by electrical circuits, all the useless. For the time being, there was no choice but to set up a temporary camp first, and everyone gathered together to rest and think of a way.
With the help of the breath in his body, Gao He basically didn't need to sleep much to recover his strength. The tired crowd soon fell asleep, and except for the black belt that served as a guard, only Gao He was still awake.
The chill in the air suddenly changed, and Gao He's exposed skin was sensitively felt. It is a sudden drop in temperature, not because of the slow drop in the night due to the lack of light. Everyone in the coma didn't seem to be aware of these changes at all, but curled up even more together, and slept more deeply.
The black belt didn't know what was going on, and Gao He was about to stand up and see if he could replace his class, when the scene in front of him suddenly startled Gao He. In the makeshift camp, there seemed to be a vague figure. Before Gao He could judge whether he was dazzled, his figure had already flashed.
A bone-chilling cold suddenly poured into his body, and the cold was so strong that it could directly freeze people. For a moment, Gao He's eyes couldn't see anything, and his body stiffened. If there were outsiders, they would definitely be able to see that the members of the fourth team, including the black belt outside, seemed to be frozen by the collective, and their bodies were covered with white frost, and the nine people were like nine [***] corpses.
Gao He's last glance was that the white figure flickered once. There are nine more lifelike ice sculptures in the makeshift camp. The white shadow appeared and disappeared so quickly that no trace was left. On the snow outside, there were no signs of any biological activity at all, as if it had just appeared as a ghost. The temperature seems to be slowly returning to its initial coldness as the white shadow leaves.
Of course, no one saw all this, including Gao He. Everything was as if nothing had happened, weirdly bizarre. At the foot of the high snow-capped mountains, there was a frozen temporary military camp, and there were several frozen soldiers inside, except for these, there was not even a little biological activity.
No, there are still some changes. Gao He's body seems to have some faint changes. At the moment when Gao He felt cold, the breath in his body was constantly wandering around his body. Although the cold instantly froze Gao He tightly, the breath in his body did not stop because of this. It was just a burst of compression forced by the cold, and then immediately began to resist hard.
