Chapter 149: The Mountains
The port of Federjesta is not far from Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the siphon effect makes it not a big port.
However, Norway is rich in mineral resources, especially iron ore and copper ore, which is tantamount to a lifesaver for Germany, which has insufficient strategic material reserves.
And Oslo, as a large port, was blocked even tighter.
Not far away, the port of Federesda is more popular with smuggling boats.
Although the Entente hated these smuggling ships.
However, due to the fact that Norway is a neutral country and the main fleet is still playing hide-and-seek with the combined German-Italian fleet, it can only send a small number of backward ships to cruise on the northern sea route.
But such a blockade is clearly not tight.
Zhang Huaisheng stood on the deck of the smuggling ship, the ship was silent, not even a light was turned on, and the hull painted with dark paint seemed to be one with the sea in the night.
But soon, Zhang Huaisheng saw that at the end of the sea level, a cruiser flying the flag of the Royal Navy was coming on the wind and waves, and the billowing smoke from its chimney was like a black pillar of light, inserted into the surface of the moon.
"Oops!"
Zhang Huaisheng was shocked.
Even if it is camouflaged, the ships of this era, with their towering chimneys and plumes of smoke, cannot be as imperceptible as submarines.
Even submarines, in an era before the invention of snorkels, needed to float up regularly for ventilation.
"Slow down, turn off!"
The soft and weak voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
The sailors on board did not show any signs of surprise and, like the walking dead, went about their work.
The smuggling ship gradually stopped.
But the cruiser drove straight as if it had spotted it.
The black hole of the cannon hole does not even need to start the main gun, only one salvo of the secondary cannon can send the smuggling ship to the bottom of the sea.
But the Royal Navy cruiser, as if it had not found the smuggling ship at all, sailed straight past.
Zhang Huaisheng could even see a major officer standing on the bridge, smoking a cigarette comfortably.
But he didn't see that there was a smuggling ship moored in the immediate vicinity.
The cruiser drifted away.
The smuggling ship was back in motion.
Zhang Huaisheng looked at Lucia with an inquiring eye, and she said without changing her face: "Probably because the eyes are not good, they didn't find this ship, I was nervous." ”
"The sailors on duty were probably asleep. Ha, we're in luck. ”
I believe you're a ghost...
Zhang Huaisheng scolded from the bottom of his heart, but he also smiled and said: "Indeed, we are really lucky. ”
When the smuggling ship docked, a heavily armed harbor warden approached, and the captain went up to talk to him, and after a while, he began to send people to unload the cargo.
The group of people in the controller club quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.
...
A day later.
Scandinavia.
Among the snow-covered mountains, a group of people trudged through the snow like ants.
Zhang Huaisheng was wearing a hooded cold-proof suit made of unknown animal fur, which probably added up to 20 pounds, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked in the middle of the team.
Xiao Hei shrank on Zhang Huaisheng's chest, revealing only a fluffy little head, poking his head out from time to time, looking around curiously.
This little guy's normal body temperature is higher than that of humans, so he holds it in his arms, and it is as warm as a small stove.
seems to know that the outside environment is terrible, Xiao Hei only occasionally probes out to see, but has no intention of running out.
Cats' ancestors came from the desert, and they have genes in their bones that are more afraid of cold than heat.
Last night, the group was in the port, and after meeting with the person who answered them, they diverted to Oslo.
After resting there for the night, they changed into this winter suit and hiking boots with nails, and went straight into the mountain early the next morning.
As Zhang Huaisheng walked, he exhaled a large white mist, the temperature here was too low, even in summer, he still felt a little biting.
It was fine when I was in Oslo, the temperature was low but acceptable.
But once in the mountains, as the altitude climbs, the temperature begins to plummet.
Lucia wore a coat filled with duck down, which did not look thick, and even looked a little thin.
Her skin was still delicate, and there was no sign of red or chapped from the cold wind.
Zhang Huaisheng opened his mouth and poured a stomach of cold wind, but he still asked: "Madam, don't you feel cold when you wear such a thin dress?" ”
"It's just a corpse puppet, what's there to be cold."
She said nonchalantly.
Perhaps because his expression was too vivid when he said this, Zhang Huaisheng would always subconsciously think that this was Lucia's body.
For Lucia, her new boss.
Zhang Huaisheng has always wanted to maintain a respectful attitude as much as possible, but her appearance is too deceptive for people to be respectful all the time.
Lucia turned her gaze behind her and reminded, "Jennifer, if it's cold, take a sip of hot water... Don't worry about being revealed, there are no outsiders here. ”
In the crowd, no one answered.
But as Lucia took out an empty cup, covered it with a red silk cloth, and then lifted it.
It was filled with steaming water.
A mist quickly blanketed the walls of the cup.
"Do you want me to send it to you?"
Lucia's tone became stern.
A shivering woman, huddled in the crowd, walked slowly, her curly blond hair and somewhat unhealthy pale skin under her hood.
It seems to have not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
Wearing a pair of goggles, she reached for the glass and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, ma'am." ”
She subconsciously glanced at Zhang Huaisheng on the side, and found that he didn't look at her, but turned his back very understandingly, and then let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Huaisheng smiled secretly in his heart, he had already seen which Jennifer's real body was.
After all, in a group of people, she was trembling.
Ms. Laura has been to Scandinavia before, and she is definitely better prepared and adapted to the snowy mountain climate.
Although Zhang Huaisheng and Lucia are here for the first time, he himself is at least an extraordinary person on the melee side, and Lucia is a middle sequence, and it is obvious that they are not affected by low temperatures.
She was the only one.
"Makes you laugh."
When Jennifer left, Lucia chuckled, "In the club, both the girls and the boys are some... Withdrawn, they would rather bury their heads in the scriptures than communicate with others. ”
Zhang Huaisheng continued: "It's better than those wild masters who like to fool other people's lives." ”
Lucia nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when Laura, who was leading the way in front, stopped and said, "Madam, the snow ahead is relatively soft, and on this section of the road, don't make loud noises, and... I need a sturdy butcher corpse to find my way. ”
Lucia nodded and said, "No problem, I will hand over control of Alexander to you temporarily, but Alexander was a middle sequence during his lifetime, can you afford to control it?" ”
Laura was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I'll do my best, if I can't do it, I can only ask Madam for your help." ”
