Chapter 58: The Ice Corridor

Hurry up and hurry, and when everyone is back at the base, the battle is over.

Outside the walls, the corpses of wild beasts were left behind, and rivers of blood flowed.

On closer inspection, most of the animals were injured by bullets.

He Dali was tasteless: "I thought there was some strange beast, but it turned out that it couldn't withstand the bullet fire." ”

Looking at the crowd on the city wall that was a little excited because of the victory in the big battle, Long Yuandong faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

He deliberately looked at Xu Yue's expression.

In terms of high IQ, Xu Yue may be slightly inferior to Jiang Mantian, but when it comes to insight into human feelings, Xu Yue is far superior to Jiang Mantian. He believed that Xu Yue would definitely be able to see the problem he felt.

It's a pity that Xu Yue has no expression.

But if you look closely, you will see a sneer on the corner of her mouth. This sneer, like mockery, like disdain.

Long Yuandong's observation has always been very sharp, so he saw Xu Yue's sneer, so he became more and more convinced that something was wrong.

After Tian Guangye came over, Long Yuandong asked first: "It should be okay here, right?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Tian Guangye's face, but then he changed his smile: "It's basically not a big problem now, don't worry." Everyone has been tired for so long, why don't you go and rest first?"

He Dali was as quick as ever, and said: "It's not the right time for Teacher Tian to call us over, you must know that we are only a little bit away from being able to open the ground aircraft carrier! Since the base is fine, staying here will also delay time." Let's pad our stomachs, and it's important to rush back and open the battleship. ”

Jiang Mantian was still thinking about the opening of the land aircraft carrier, and he was speechless all the way.

Xu Shuqing said: "It's all here, it's okay to understand the situation clearly before leaving." ”

Tian Guangye laughed and pretended to be relaxed: "Chairman Xu is right. Political Commissar Cao and I have prepared some vegetables, fruits, and meat, so let's replenish our energy first, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution!"

When he addresses others, he is very different from other people. Other people call others, how they used to call them, how they still call them now, and how they call them as they say smoothly. For example, Jiang Mantian is called Long Yuandong, directly called Far East, sometimes called Instructor Long, called Xu Shuqing, and called Principal Xu. And Tian Guangye calls others, generally with the position of the alliance command. For example, "Commander Long," "Chairman Xu," and "Chief of Staff Jiang" show that on the one hand he attaches more importance to organizational principles, and on the other hand, he also reveals an extremely strong idea of the official standard.

Long Yuandong saw that Jiang Mantian didn't speak, so it was difficult to refuse, knowing that he might be calculated, he still stubbornly said: "Then please!"

Tian Guangye and Xu Shuqing walked side by side and led the way first. Suddenly, the city guards came to report that a large number of strange beasts were found in the northwest.

He Dali's spirit perked up, and he said, "Where is it? What kind of beast is it? Lao Tzu just lacks soul crystals!"

The group came to the northwest side of the city wall, and as far as the eye could see, a group of gray-white snow foxes were prostrate among the snow-covered bushes, looming in the middle.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be that dangerous.

Jiang Mantian suddenly asked, "When did the beasts start attacking the city?"

Tian Guangye finally got a chance to explain, and said busily: "Three days ago. At first, there were a few small beasts, but they were extremely fast. As they grew, they grew in size and abilities. The most thrilling thing was in the early hours of this morning, which reached a peak in both number and destructive power. The city guards and armed police were careless for a while, and they were almost attacked by wild beasts and entered the city. I was worried about the danger again, so I sent someone to invite everyone to come and meet. ”

Jiang Mantian did not doubt him, nodded, and said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, be cautious, it's still good! Since the snow fell in Yandu, the temperature has dropped rapidly, and now it is close to minus 25 degrees, and in another twenty days, the temperature will drop even lower, until it is below minus 90 degrees. Yandu is still like this, and the temperature is naturally colder in areas further north than Yandu.

After the end of the world, although animals have evolved, they cannot withstand extreme low temperatures, so they will inevitably migrate south in large numbers. Preliminary estimates suggest that the average temperature in the region near the equator is at least 30 degrees higher than that of Yandu, which is obviously more suitable for animals.

If, according to you, the migration of animals began to show signs three days ago, then there will be an even greater climax next. In the beginning, nature was a relatively less evolved small animal, because they were more sensitive to cold and more sensitive. Later on, the more powerful and evolutionary the animals that migrated south.

Due to the heavy snow cover and the persistently low temperature, it is difficult for the animals behind them to find new food, so the more animals behind, the hungrier and more ferocious they will be. We really need to be prepared!"

Cheng Gongyuan spent most of his time patrolling the city wall, and when he heard that Jiang Mantian and the others were back, he came to meet him and said, "These snow foxes are guarding there, they don't move, they don't walk, they don't know what to do." Wait a minute, I'll give it a shuttle, throw a stone to ask for directions, and find out the situation. ”

Before the words fell, someone shouted "Huh", and then many people shouted: "Go, they're gone!"

Cheng Gongyuan was slightly surprised, as if the snow fox knew that he was going to shoot them, and he actually knew how to slip away in advance.

Jiang Mantian frowned.

It may not be a coincidence that the snow fox slipped away. If it is not a coincidence, then Snow Fox is clearly quite intelligent. If the giant beast had the same intelligence, it would be very difficult to deal with. Now that the ground aircraft carrier has not yet been opened, the ability of human beings to resist risks is still too weak, and if we are not careful, it is likely to be destroyed.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Professor Tian, although the land aircraft carrier has not yet been opened, the remaining space there is also very open, and there is no problem in accommodating 10,000 people. Just in case, from now on, you organize people to retreat to the underground space in turn, and food, ammunition, and all kinds of materials must also be gradually transferred. ”

"No problem!" Tian Guangye said loudly: "Ren Zhuang!"

"Here!" said a stocky young man, with a flat head and thin eyes, and an ordinary appearance, looking like a boy next door. But in fact, he is also a small celebrity, and he has a share of the words left on the site of the mountain gate of Tzu Chi Temple. Tian Guangye saw that he was a stable person, so he gradually asked him to manage some things in the logistics department. He, Bi Shengsheng and Pang Chongwei are the three most important among Tian Guangye's student cadres.

"You lead your action team to gather all the girls and those who have not yet evolved, and retreat in batches to the underground space where the land carrier ship is located. Remember, each person must carry no less than 60 catties of food, drinking water and other supplies!"

"Yes!" Ren Zhuang straightened his chest and turned to leave.

"Slow. Jiang Mantian said: "From here to Chengming Lake in Yiheyuan, the journey is not short, in case you encounter a powerful mutated beast on the way, a little careless, it is inevitable to be damaged." In this way, Tao Xingxing, you will gather all the water attribute personnel in the base, and take advantage of the cold weather to build an ice corridor leading to Chengming Lake, like a tunnel, directly to the entrance of the land aircraft carrier. The ice should be thicker, the thicker the better! Ren Zhuang has the protection of the ice corridor, and the safety is also guaranteed!"

Tao Xingxing stood up and said, "Yes!" and gave everyone a military salute seriously.

The two took the order and left.

Huo Jinniu came to report: "Yesterday evening and early this morning, we successively received radio waves sent by more than ten bases such as the United States, Italy, Germany, Yandu military, and Hainan military. Since we do not have a high-power transmitter, we can only receive radio waves for the time being, and cannot send them out, or not send them far. There is a very coincidental thing, that is, the time when we receive the radio wave is basically within the last 12 hours. ”

Jiang Mantian said: "After the disaster, each surviving force needs to go through several twists and turns before it can enter the strategic security base, so there are some coincidences in the time, which is also reasonable." Didn't we even find the ground aircraft carrier in the past few days? If there were no accidents, I think we could have started the ground aircraft carrier today!"

While talking, I heard a loud sound of geese chirping in the distance, and seven geese formed a herringbone shape, flying from north to south without hurry.

Jiang Mantian felt as if the weather was getting colder again, tightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go and see how Tao Xingxing's ice corridor is built!"

Everyone came to the southwest direction of the city wall, and saw Tao Xingxing leading more than 100 members of the water attribute team, each with a distance of a few meters to more than ten meters, connecting into a route to Chengming Lake.

Tao Xingxing waved his hands lightly, and the sky instantly lit up with a faint blue cold light, and a half-arc transparent ice block quickly enveloped the top of his head. The ice grew thicker and longer, gradually covering the Tao Xingxing, and finally only a dark shadow could be seen.

Tao Xingxing is an ice attribute, so it can form ice cubes directly on the top of the head. The others are water attributes, they need to first control the water element to form a light blue water curtain, take advantage of the ultra-low weather, condense into thin ice, and then continuously add water elements, freeze into thick ice, and then connect with each other, a solid ice corridor will slowly take shape.

At this time, the ice corridor is still very fragile. Tao Xingxing went all the way and poured all the ice into a bit of cold, making the ice corridor not only as thick as a city wall, but also as hard as steel.

It's a tedious task, but it takes a very short time.

In a short period of time, Ren Zhuang has gathered most of the girls and people who have not evolved. He commanded everyone to open the southwest city gate, marched through the ice corridor, and retreated to the underground space in batches.

Jiang Mantian looked at the team walking in a roundabout way, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He Tingting suddenly said, "It's not good! There are large beasts in the north approaching us!"

When Long Yuandong heard this, he thought it was true, and said loudly: "Everyone pay attention, the instrument is close-fitting, the bullet is loaded, be careful!"

Soon, there was a screaming sound from the north, as if the sound of high-speed friction of steel machinery, piercing and sharp. Flocks of moles, snow rabbits, and pheasants are like headless flies, panicked and scattered, lest they be avoided.

Behind the many small beasts, a huge figure like a snow mound slowly moved towards the base.
