The Scandinavian Mountains, from south to north, run the entire Norwegian-Swedish border.

Even the cruel and adventurous Vikings did not dare to set foot in the fabled "Dark Lands" inhabited by frost giants and dragons.

As the altitude climbs again, the temperature gets cooler and colder.

Zhang Huaisheng's eyebrows and the short beard on his upper lip were covered with a layer of frost, but fortunately it was still within his tolerance.

But as the altitude increases, the air pressure becomes lower and lower.

In the thin air, the oxygen level was so degraded that he had to stop and gasp for air every few steps.

Little Black curled up in his arms, squinting wistfully, and obviously a little sluggish compared to when he first arrived.

Zhang Huaisheng took off his goggles and looked into the distance, the dazzling sunlight reflected by the snow field made him subconsciously squint his eyes, the mountains in the distance were covered with snow, and the footprints behind him were gradually covered by snow, and the traces of them when they came had disappeared.

It's a world of ice and snow, and you can hardly see any colors other than white.

Laura suddenly turned around and said, "According to the time, it is already night, but the days here are very long, and when I came, there was not even night at all. ”

Zhang Huaisheng glanced down at his watch, only to realize that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Lucia said, "Since it's still early, let's keep going, and we'd better not delay too long in the mountains." ”

Laura nodded, "I understand." ”

Zhang Huaisheng frowned, a little puzzled, "Why is he in such a hurry", but he didn't ask.

It's normal for Lucia to have information to hide, if she really tells him everything, with his character, he will worry about whether Lucia will kill people afterwards.

Continue on your way.

Time seems to have lost its meaning.

Zhang Huaisheng didn't know how far the group had gone, even if they were wearing special cold-proof clothing, they still felt cold in their hands and feet.

Fortunately, there is a small stove on his chest, and Xiao Hei is warming him.

Jennifer, an archaeologist, has been carried behind by her own corpse and has lost the ability to walk.

It sounds like Scandinavia should be a forbidden area for life, but it's not.

At lower altitudes, you can see a large area of lush broadleaf forest growing around the lake in the center that is as clear as a girl's eyes.

There are even Norwegians who live not far from the lake, fishing, hunting.

It's just that as the altitude gets higher and higher, it becomes more and more like a forbidden area for life, and there is hardly any living creature to be seen except for the four people.

Then.

The wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and the sky was originally clear, but now it was already gloomy clouds, and a storm was brewing in the churning clouds.

Alexander, a corpse puppet with a typical Slavic appearance, walked up to Lucia and Zhang Huaisheng, and whispered, "Madam, the blizzard is coming soon, and we need to hurry up and dig an ice cave as shelter." ”

Lucia immediately nodded, "Okay, Laura." You have to take care of Jennifer, this child is not in a good condition, you are older and more experienced. ”

"Okay, I will."

Alexander nodded slightly: "Madam, when building an ice cave, you must pay attention to the location on the leeward slope, otherwise the storm will sweep you out of the hole and into the sky like a rabbit." Also, remember to leave air vents, load-bearing columns... Just use snow blocks that are relatively firm and frozen. ”

Under the guidance of the corpse puppet temporarily controlled by Ms. Laura, the group began to quickly build a shelter.

Digging through the surface layer, the further down the surface layer becomes, the more difficult it is to dig, and the snow that has been frozen for many years is quite difficult to chisel even with a special shovel.

By this time, the howling of the wind was getting louder and louder.

Large snowflakes mixed with ice chips smashed on people's cheeks, Zhang Huaisheng struggled to shovel the snow, and Lucia hugged Xiao Hei on the side, commanding the corpse puppet to help.

Boom –

With a loud bang.

On the top of the mountain, the snow peels off layer by layer, with a vigorous momentum, like a flash flood, sweeping towards the hillside.

Zhang Huaisheng didn't care about this, beckoned Lucia to jump into the ice cave first, and then got in, stuffing suitcases, ice cubes and other sundries into the hole.

Feel the torrent rolling overhead.

Zhang Huaisheng secretly pinched a handful of cold sweat, but found that at the gap at the entrance, there was only some snow foam falling, and there was no intention of collapsing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucia's royal blue eyes shone with astonishment, and she murmured, "It's like a middle sequence of calamity, borrowing celestial phenomena to attack us." ”

"No wonder my mother always warned me to be wary of the ways of calamity."

Zhang Huaisheng nodded thoughtfully: "Under such a terrifying natural power, no matter how powerful the transcendent is, you must avoid its edge." ”

"Meow."

Xiao Hei listened to the movement outside with some horror, struggled to break free from Lucia's embrace, and ran towards Zhang Huaisheng.

Zhang Huaisheng hurriedly picked it up, opened the placket of the neckline, and stuffed it back in.

A man and a cat curled up in a snow cave, and felt the whole mountain tremble.

The winter suit on his chest was bulging, and Xiao Hei poked his head out and looked at the unfamiliar ice cave.

The temperature in the ice cave gradually increases.

Lucia snapped her fingers, and a cluster of flames suddenly burst from her fingers: "Bring two cans of beef, Alexander has a marching pot, and we can cook a pot of broth to drink." ”

"Didn't we bring a small gas canister with us?"

"It's true, but it's better to save some of this key material."

Zhang Huaisheng's gaze swept around, and there were three corpse golems who entered the ice cave with them, including the one named Alexander, who had temporarily handed over control to Lady Laura.

But none of the three corpse puppets seemed to have any intention of trying to come over for dinner.

Zhang Huaisheng looked at Lucia.

She deliberately avoided his gaze and commanded, "Hurry up, I'm hungry." ”

Living people always have to eat, and now, Lucia seems to have no hidden thoughts, and this little Lori-like body is her body.

Zhang Huaisheng didn't say anything, although he was very curious, Lucia looked like she was in her early teens at most, how she jumped into the middle sequence like a rocket, and became the head of the controller club.

But he's not a gossip person, and he doesn't have to dig into it.

He took out the military pot and canned beef, thought about it, and took out the raw chicken that he had specially brought when he came, and boiled it in another pot, this one was specially cooked for Xiao Hei.

There is a lot of salt in canned food, and in this day and age, don't expect black-hearted capitalists to think about food protection laws.
