The journey went smoothly beyond Lin Ma's expectations, and in ten days, the two walked a thousand kilometers. Of course, the food problem has not been completely solved, and the two can only carry the ingredients on the road for a maximum of three days.

Another problem is that the altitude is getting higher and higher, and the road signs show that it has reached 4,000 meters. Food and water are not an issue, the landscape here is a mixture of grasslands and glaciers. There are snow and glaciers in the high places, and the low depressions are fed by melting snow, and aquatic plants are abundant.

It is similar to the topography of a science and technology city, but there is no desert and Gobi, and the biggest difference is the altitude. On the tenth day, Limma set up camp early, one of the reasons was the horses, which used to run at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour without accumulating fatigue value, but now this value has been reduced to 15 kilometers per hour. In addition, Limma suffered from altitude sickness.

On the morning of the eleventh day, he continued his journey, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, Limma saw a warning sign that the road ahead would be covered with snow in autumn and winter.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Limma arrived at the road ahead. This is an area at an altitude of more than 5,200 meters, and the white expanse is not in sight. The roads were covered with snow, and the lakes and rivers were still flowing, forming a thin layer of ice on their surface, and a layer of snow on top of the thin ice. Once you stray off the road and stepped into it, you could never recover.

In addition to lake and river traps, wind and snow also create ice cave traps. It looks like a smooth road, but if you step on it and break through the snow, you may fall into an ice cave. If you're lucky, you can get stuck, and if you're unlucky, you'll fall straight into a pulp.

At the last stretch of the road, Maya stood on horseback in a sandstorm and looked around with a telescope to see that only one mountain peak to the north could be used as a reference. In front of her was a snowy field. Behind her was a meadow.

"Set up camp." Maya puts down her binoculars.

"Piercing again?" Lin Wu asked, but still spread out the tent. A few kilometers of downhill back, there are still lush meadows on the left and right, with herds of rabbits and marmots, and food and water are not a problem.

Although the ice and snow were in front of him, Lin Wu did not feel cold. The thermometer at the location of the tent command post showed that it was now 20 degrees. Lin Wu can't understand this, doesn't the ice and snow here melt?

Maya said: "We may have entered the Earth-like Tianshan region. At an altitude of 5,200 meters above sea level, the temperature difference between day and night in November is about 30 degrees, and the high temperature can reach 40 degrees. "The snow that melts during the day flows down the river, making the land extremely fertile. Ice and snow accumulate at night and maintain their white beauty.

"Is there a highway in the Tianshan Mountains of Earth?"

"Yes."

In view of the cold resistance of the two, they must camp when the sun sets, and they can only camp when the sun comes out. It takes 12 hours to come and go, and there is no way to move forward at all.

Maya said: "There is only one way, to demolish the building, abandon the baggage, and leave only one dormitory at most." We dismantled other facilities into building materials to carry and exchanged them for fuel at night. ”

"The exchange ratio is very low."

"There's no way around it, and once we're in the snowy land, we probably won't be able to find any other fuel." Maya said: "The sun sets late, so we set up camp at 6 p.m. and open our tents at 9 p.m. The next morning the camp was set out at seven o'clock and set off at ten o'clock. That's eight hours a day for us to march. ”

Maya: "You don't need to carry water, you can bring as much food as you can." You keep a dagger and a burst of silencers, and I bring a machete and assault rifle, adjusted to the optimal load. ”

Lin Wu was already slightly overloaded with a small bucket and a tent, so he only carried a dagger and a burst of silence every day. The task of carrying food can only be given to Maya, but the burden has nothing to do with Maya, and it has a direct relationship with sandstorms.

Maya, who already had a complete idea, continued: "Leading the horses on foot, we made horse bags out of animal skins, transforming apparitions and sandstorms into pack horses. It can not only increase the amount of materials carried, but more importantly, ensure the safety of the journey. The few nearby trees are cut down and chopped into firewood for the night to keep out the cold. ”

The double horse does not affect its condition with a standard weight of 160 kg. Two Maga Maya, can take away about 350 kilograms of supplies.

Lin Wu tried to bargain: "8 hours of walking every day? In terms of the environment, you can only travel 20-25 kilometers per day. Why don't we consider bypassing the Tianshan-like Mountains? ”

Maya said: "The original intention of building this road was so that human beings did not need to bypass the Tianshan Mountains. You can see that the mountains are endless, and you can't find any gaps in them as far as the eye can see. ”

"This plan is hard for me!"

"You estimate that you only walk 20 kilometers a day, so you can't talk about hardship, right?"

Lin Wu: "Or can we make a sleigh and let the phantom turn into Shoko?" ”

Maya said: "The purpose of walking is to explore the road, and horses don't have the ability to do that. I'll take all the weapons I don't need and make two sapper shovels. Dig snow every 100 meters to avoid us stray from the road. Even if you only walk 20 kilometers a day, you can walk 200 kilometers in 10 days. A little more, 300 kilometers in 15 days, I don't believe that I can't do without this snowfield. If you think about what happened to us in the Fantasy City Rainforest, I think the conditions here are a hundred times stronger than the Rainforest. ”

"Hmmm......"

"What's the problem?"

"Nope." It's just that I don't want to walk.

Maya said: "Okay, camp for two days, and set off the day after tomorrow." ”

……

There are only three trees within ten kilometers of the vicinity, but they are all large trees, and they act as morning stars in the flat grass. In human society, these three big trees must be the key objects of protection. Now they can only be used as chopping wood.

The rabbit has been flooded in the local area, it can't outrun the forest fog, it can't outrun the little crooked, and it still wants to play with the trap. Lin Wu spends half of his time peeling and cutting flesh. However, there is still a considerable gap between the 2,000 mammals of the hunter's third skill. Based on 0.5 kg of edible meat per rabbit, 2,000 rabbits is 1 ton. In addition, the prey captured by Xiao Wei is not counted on the head of Lin Wu.

During the two days of camping, Lin Ma collected 270 kilograms of supplies, mainly food and firewood. Sandstorm is very talkative, and it has no problem hanging up with two large leather bags. The Phantom is more hypocritical, refusing to be a pack horse. Lin Wu coerced and lured, so he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know if the phantom understood, so he finally let Lin Wu put it in the horse bag.

A horse bag is a large bag, a bag recognized by the system, one is hung on the left and right sides of the horse, and then fastened with ropes, and the two horses are turned into pack horses. When the phantom was put on the horse bag, Xiao Crooked watched happily and jumped around, and Lin Wu wondered if he should also give it two small bags.

On the morning of the fourth day of arriving at the Tianshan Mountain, Lin Wu demolished all other buildings except the dormitory, and then issued an order to collect tents. Lin Wu and Maya sat on the grass outside the tent, eating bacon and feeling the freshness of the morning sun.

Maya said, "You're right, it's going to be a tough road. ”

Lin Wu: "Then you refuted me before?" ”

Maya: "Because you're pulling skin for the sake of ripping skin." ”

"Huh." Lin Wu looked at the horizon and said, "Everything I have experienced all the way down from the science and technology city will definitely become an unforgettable memory in my life." If there are no hardships, no dangers, no meeting anyone, this journey is meaningless. Of course, if I had a choice, I'd rather die in the shadows. ”

On the 14th day of Highway 77, 1,000 kilometers away from Zuo County, Lin Ma and his two led their horses into the high-altitude snowfield on foot. At this time, Lin Wu found that the phantom's personality had changed somewhat, and it was able to allow Xiao Crook to lie on its back alone.

Maya and Lin Wu are dressed like blind monks, and they have a strip of black cloth tied to their eyes to resist the damage to their eyes caused by the ultraviolet reflection of the snow, which is commonly known as snow blindness.

Every one or two hundred meters, Maya would stop, and the two of them would dig the snow on the ground with sappers on the left and right. The snow is not thick, and a few shovels will bottom out. They use this method to confirm the position of the road and constantly correct the direction of travel, so that they can always walk on the road.

Set up camp at 6 p.m. and march 25 kilometers that day. After the tent opened at nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them, who had been frozen into grandchildren, finally felt warm. A campfire is provided when the tent is closed, but not when the tent is opened.

At this time, the temperature outside the tent is minus 5 degrees, the temperature inside the tent is 10 degrees, and of course it is warmer by the campfire. The two picked up the matching futon in the dormitory, made the bed by the campfire, wrapped the quilt, and ate jerky. Not to mention, it feels quite pleasant.

But the good times were short-lived, and a wolf howl broke the silence.

Maya immediately sat up: "Wolves can survive at minus 55 degrees. ”

"I'll take care of it." Lin Wu came out of the tent, brought in the phantom and sandstorm, and placed them on the side of the campfire. Just kidding, this isn't a ship base, it's a big tent. By the way, Lin Wu threw three traps at the entrance of the tent, if you don't come, forget it, if you come, you have to contribute meat and fur.

The last thing Lin Wu is afraid of is fighting in the base, his stamina is so strong that it explodes, and the wind stabs him accurately. Coupled with Maya's knife skills and the hound's crookedness, even if the gun is not used, the other party will not come with dozens of wolves, and there will be no chance to take down the tent at all. It's even more boring to move a gun, one shot, unlimited locks.

On the other hand, Maya was still a little uneasy, she put on night vision devices, carefully avoided the trap and went out to check, and there was no trace of the wolves. I waited in place for a long time, but I didn't hear the wolf howl again. Maybe it's Dawn Mercy, and I don't want a one-sided meat delivery time.

Although the wolves were not found, Maya saw something magical: zombies.

Theoretically, there are no towns or villages nearby, and zombies are impossible to appear in the barren mountains and mountains. The forests near the sawmill farm farm are planted with zombies, also because there were traces of human activity there.

"Lin Wu."

Lin Wu, who was very reluctant, wrapped himself in the quilt and walked to the entrance of the tent to put away the trap, so as not to suffer with the farts and insects. As soon as he came out of the tent, a cold air with fine snow hit, and Lin Wu instantly felt that the whole person was not good. Maya pointed a hundred meters away: "There." "Give the night vision device to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu saw the zombies: "Two zombies? Check it out? ”

"No, there are no security measures." During the day, when they explored their paths, they had ropes tied around their waists, and the other end of the rope was tied to their mounts to avoid stepping on the air.

Lin Wu asked, "Is there a village nearby?" ”

Maya replied, "I don't rule it out." Do you remember the washing machine? ”

"Remember, remember for the rest of my life."

Maya ignored Lin Wu's tone and said, "The only complete washing machine was found in the desert town on the side of the wilderness road, do you think you can find something here?" In spring and summer, there is no snow in the area, and there may be a village or a small town. ”

"Let's go back first." Lin Wu shuddered and returned to the campfire, the trap was gone, and the base safety zone alarm was turned on. What if Maya wants to go out to see the snow at night and step on it? A broken leg is a trivial matter, and being beaten to death is a major matter.

Don't worry about wolves, let alone zombies. Zombies have an activity area, and it takes a process to deviate from the area, and you can't get to the base safety area in one night. Unless the safe zone is its activity zone.

Maya returned to the bed and continued to eat shredded meat: "Whether it's 99 or 88, or 77, it's very desolate all the way. We only met the Yunmeng tribe on Highway 88, or because of the broken bridge, and the Yunmeng tribe is still far from the broken bridge. Along Route 77, there are occasionally small dilapidated buildings left behind by humans, so why is there a human gathering point? ”

Lin Wu: "Curiosity is coming up again?" ”

Maya nodded, "We're just discussing, and I'm not going to let my curiosity interfere with our plans." Of course, tomorrow morning you can let Xiao Dafei fly again. ”

……

At six o'clock the next morning, when the sun rose, Lin Wu collected the tent and Maya used a campfire to heat the bacon for breakfast. At seven o'clock, he released Xiaoda, and only two minutes after taking off, Lin Wu found the target: an airplane.

"A plane?"

"An airplane." Lin Wu described: "The fuselage is disconnected, and the lotus root is disconnected. ”

Maya opened her mind: "The plane escaped from the epidemic area, but I didn't expect zombies to appear on the plane, which eventually led to the plane landing here. ”

Lin Wu pondered: "Why do you fantasize about this scene that I feel a little familiar?" ”

"What else did you find?"

"Roughly calculated, there are about 70 or so zombies around the plane, and the branch is very wide and inactive. The density is relatively low. Lin Wu said: "Let's go due north, the plane is in our east, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Gotta go." "We need sunglasses, and maybe we can find warm clothes," Maya said. ”

……

The plane was in a hollow three kilometers away. It was a medium-sized airliner with some of the fuselage partially buried in the snow, but mostly exposed in the snow. The density of zombies in the surrounding area is very low, so there is no need to clean them up.

The plane is divided into two, and there is a little iron sheet connected to the front and rear, and the front and rear ends have an escape slide. Maya stomped on the back of the sandstorm, grabbed the nose of the plane with both hands, and slipped into the cockpit. Lin Wu entered the plane through the slide of the rear fuselage.

The plane was a mess, but not terrible, with most of the seats still in place and a large number of makeshift oxygen masks hanging in the middle. Some baggage compartments are open and some are closed.

Lin Wu bent down and touched a black suitcase on the ground with his hand, its skin was like festering skin, and it would break as soon as he grabbed it. Inside, it is like ashes, which can be shattered at the slightest touch. This is a typical item that has been completely corroded.

Maya: "It's a treasure. ”

"What treasure?"

"A treasure trove of electronic components." Maya said, "You can break down the cockpit." ”

Lin Wu said: "Okay, when the time comes, I will trick Su Shi over and let him play demolition for a year." ”

"I'll go to the front cabin and have a look."

"Okay." Lin Wu pushed open the door of the bathroom, a zombie pounced out, Lin Wu closed the door at the speed of light, his heart palpitated, and he was furious:! How many times? Is it fun? Interesting? Can't you change the tricks?

Open the door, the zombies come out, close the door and smash. Open the door, the zombies go out, close the door and crit. Open the door...... Repeated more than ten times, although the zombie did not die, but with the door smashing the zombie's head again and again, Lin Wu can be regarded as having this breath. Killing the zombies, Lin Wu entered the bathroom, looked left and right up and down for a while, there was nothing to hide in this place, and turned around and left the bathroom.

Lin Wu stretched out his hand to open a luggage compartment, only to see a zombie howling in the baggage compartment, revealing its rotten maggot teeth.

Lin Wu closes the baggage compartment at faster than the speed of light. After a long time, sticking his head out of the window, Lin Wu roared angrily: "Dawn, I'm XX you." ”

Opening the luggage compartment, the zombie stretched out its head, Lin Wu activated the woodpecker tactic, and hit the zombie's head with the hatch frantically and quickly in succession, and forcibly popped its head.

When it came to the next baggage compartment, Lin Wu learned to be clever and only opened a slit. There are no zombies, just suitcases that have been reduced to garbage.
