After Cheng Yang arranged the use of the ship, he asked Shi Qing to step up the shipbuilding work.

The main thing is to let him speed up the improvement of his professional skills. Cheng Yang believes that when a higher-level ship is built, the effect will be absolutely different.

After Cheng Yang returned to Luofeng Town, he started his new job.

Set off alone to the Wucheng area to find other possible passages to connect with the outside world.

Originally, Cheng Yang planned to wait for Tan Chao and the others to increase their strength and let them complete this task, but now that the guards were all sent to participate in the Jingcheng battle, he was the only one to do this.

In fact, it is more appropriate for Cheng Yang to do this matter, firstly, he has the highest strength and can deal better with emergencies, and secondly, he knows more about the rules of this world and can find some things that others can't find.

The isolation zone around the Wucheng area stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and Cheng Yang wants to completely search this area, which is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two. According to Cheng Yang's plan, this matter will take at least seven or eight days.

Fortunately, he doesn't have any worries now, after searching during the day, he directly returns to the territory with the Huicheng Stone, and after clearing the dungeon the next morning, he uses the teleportation gem to return to the place he left yesterday.

It doesn't delay anything at all.

This time, he didn't even bring Xiao ≤ Bai with him, leaving it in Fukuzawa Garden to speed up its evolution. Otherwise, with his current cultivation speed, Xiaobai's growth would definitely not be able to keep up with his pace. He didn't want to lose this rare companion one day.

On the first day, Chengyang Tianning Village set off and came directly to the river that crossed the mountain range, then turned west and continued along the mountain range that I had walked last time.

He didn't spend much time on these dozens of kilometers of road, and walked through them in a hurry.

At the end of that section of the mountain range, Cheng Yang saw an endless wasteland, with no trees and no mountains. There was only one place of dead grass.

This is nothing, what shocked Cheng Yang the most was the change in temperature.

It was already early summer, but he felt as if he had entered the ninth harsh winter in an instant.

With Cheng Yang's current strength, the general temperature change will not give him much feeling. Even if the temperature drops by 20 degrees on a pre-apocalyptic day, he may only feel a little cooler. But the situation in front of me is not like this, the cold wind that blows on the face seems to blow into the bones, making people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Cheng Yang looked into the distance, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen such a place in his previous life, and he had not even heard of it.

In the previous life, humanity's evolutionary speed was left behind by demonic beasts. Human beings simply do not have the ability to get close to the isolation zone around the provincial main city, and even many of the isolation zones around the municipal main city have not been opened.

The place where Cheng Yang is standing now is something that human beings have not set foot in in the previous life.

When Cheng Yang first saw this smooth road just now, he felt that this should belong to a certain passage that communicates with the Wucheng area. But now being blown by this cold wind has also awakened his fantasy. With such a wide terrain here, it is unlikely to be used as the external passage of the provincial main city, and I am afraid that there is something strange here.

However, these are just Cheng Yang's speculations, and he will not know until he investigates on the spot.

At that moment, Cheng Yang fearlessly stepped into the wasteland, and the withered grass under his feet was trampled to a rattle. The sturdy-looking dead grass turned to shreds in an instant like instant noodles. A cool breeze blows. The dust blew up, leaving no trace on the ground.

Cheng Yang walked forward cautiously, everything here was weird, and there wasn't even a demonic beast around. If you want to say that there is no problem, I guess the ghost will not believe it.

Cheng Yang chose to go directly to the southeast, that is, the direction where Wucheng City was located, and he had a feeling. Every few steps you take forward, the temperature around you decreases a bit. And the downward trend is becoming more and more obvious.

"What the hell is this?" Cheng Yang complained in his heart. If it was a high mountain, he might be able to find a way to climb it. The big deal is just a little more time. But this ghost place in front of me looks like a smooth road, but walking on it is more uncomfortable than dying.

He had also tried to take a few robes out of the storage ring to keep warm, but it didn't even work at all. The cold wind blew on the body, as if it had entered the soul directly. It's impossible to prevent it.

With a distance of two hundred meters, Cheng Yang felt that it was even more difficult than walking hundreds of kilometers before.

Looking at the wasteland area with four or five kilometers in front of him, Cheng Yang had to choose to give up. Because he felt that his soul was about to be frozen at this time, and if he continued to move forward, he really couldn't guarantee that he would come back alive.

This kind of silent slaughter made Cheng Yang feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.

He now has the strength of a mid-level sergeant, but he can only walk two hundred meters away, so what kind of strength does it take to cross this wasteland?

Cheng Yang couldn't get an answer, and he didn't dare to continue to move forward, so he turned to the west, no longer going deeper, but moving forward at the same isotherm.

Although Cheng Yang still felt very cold, at least he was safe. In fact, he himself can withdraw from this extremely cold place, but once he withdraws, he will not be able to really feel the temperature change in this area. If there is any passage that can be passed, it will be missed in vain.

In the end, it turned out that Cheng Yang's idea was still too naïve, and the gods did not leave any passage for humans in this wasteland, except for the extreme cold or the extreme cold. After he walked nearly thirty kilometers and got out of this wasteland, he still didn't get anything.

Cheng Yang was not only not disappointed, but a little happy. For him, the fewer passages in the Wucheng Separation Zone, the easier it will be for him to defend. It would be best if there was no passage other than that channel.

After passing through this icy wasteland, Cheng Yang's sight was a river, which came directly from the west, and turned slightly in the area of the icy wasteland, heading southeast.

The river is wide, with a surface of more than four or five kilometers. As for the depth, it is impossible to see it for the time being, but it can be seen from the rolling dark blue waves that the water must not be shallow.

On the surface of the river, Cheng Yang could still see a thick layer of mist, and it was estimated that the cold air of the icy wasteland was forced into the river, forming such a strange scene.

It's just that with such a cold temperature, why didn't the river freeze, which made Cheng Yang feel a little curious.

Just as Cheng Yang was thinking about the reason, a big fish about a zhang long broke through the waves from the upstream, and the big mouth that was one or two feet wide was full of sharp teeth, which made people's hearts tremble.

In this way, a fierce big fish stopped moving in an instant after rushing into the mist-shrouded area, and its originally bright eyes became dim. Its stiff body rolled on the surface of the water for a few seconds before sinking to the bottom.

"Damn! It's just killing people without seeing blood! Cheng Yang sighed.

This cold aura is too strong, isn't it? Such a big living creature was frozen to death in an instant. If I go deep into that area, I'm afraid my fate will not be much stronger than this big fish.

Cheng Yang looked around, squatted down and touched the water, and a piercing cold instantly passed from his finger to the bone marrow, and the tearing pain made him almost think that the finger was broken.

Cheng Yang instantly retracted his hand, and seeing the frozen ice cubes on his fingertips made him gasp, it seems that this cold air is really not something that can be explained by common sense.

At that moment, Cheng Yang did not plan to continue to study the river, and was ready to continue along the riverside.

But at this time, it was almost early, although Cheng Yang was not afraid of the demonic beasts in this area, but it was not convenient to act at night, after thinking about it, Cheng Yang used the Huicheng Stone to return to Luofeng Town.

After a night of cultivation, Cheng Yang once again cleared the nightmare-level difficulty of the Scarlet Chapel dungeon, and then returned to the cold river with the help of the teleportation gem.

Cheng Yang continued to move along the river, but he didn't expect that this walk would be more than forty kilometers away, and he encountered many demonic beasts along the way, but they were all destroyed by him.

However, what made Cheng Yang a little depressed was that the direction of this river channel had been extending to the north, making his idea of turning south unable to materialize.

According to Cheng Yang's inference, he should have moved away from the isolation zone in the Wucheng area by now. But if you cross this river, Cheng Yang will have a headache.

In order to clear the river in the apocalypse, you must pass over the bridge. Despite the initial strong earthquakes, there are still many bridges on the rivers of the world. It was also the only way for humans to cross the river before there were no ships.

Generally speaking, there is a bridge every twenty or thirty kilometers on a river, and no one knows where the bridge came from, but it is certain that these things were definitely not built by humans before the end of the world.

But now the situation of this river is different, Cheng Yang has walked along the river bank for forty or fifty kilometers, but he doesn't even see a small wooden bridge, which almost makes him feel that this river channel was originally a separation zone in the Wucheng area.

If it weren't for the weaker and weaker demonic beasts that gave him a reminder, he really couldn't judge.

Do you want to go back like this? This is not in line with Cheng Yang's character, how can he do things in a hurry?

With this thought, Cheng Yang continued to move forward one by one, and after walking for another twenty kilometers, he finally saw a bridge.

A feeling of happiness instantly permeated his whole body, and he finally found a way out.

A thought suddenly popped up in Cheng Yang's heart, after walking across this bridge, does it not belong to the scope of Xiaocheng?

Which city-level main city is on the west side of Xiaocheng? Cheng Yang roughly thought about it, either this is the Xiantao City area, or the Tianmen City area.

Although Xiantao City and Tianmen City were only county-level cities before the apocalypse, they both had their own main cities after the apocalypse. It's just that now Cheng Yang can't determine his specific location, so naturally he can't determine whether this bridge will be in the Xiantao City area or the Tianmen City area after it passes.
