"Then let's work in pairs and fan around the area."

Yuan Chongming said.

"I'm in a team with my whirlwind, so I'm not going to team up with you."

Ripple said to a few people, everyone has no opinion, if something really happens, the whirlwind is much smarter than them,

Then the crowd dispersed, each searching the area in front of them.

Ripple put the whirlwind on the ground, and said:

"Whirlwind, you pick a direction."

Whirlwind stretched his body first, then wagged his tail and jumped in front of him in a direction.

Because of the previous meteorite impact, there are still some stones of different sizes left on the ground, the big ones are one person high, and the small ones are the size of footballs, but at this time they have all turned scorched earth color, embedded in the ground, and it doesn't feel very easy to walk.

"Meow!" Cat master, here's a discovery.

Ripple followed the whirlwind's cry and walked over, and then saw the other party crouching on a raised stone, meowing at her, urging her to hurry.

"It's coming, don't worry!"

When Ripple walked to the whirlwind, she found that there was a huge crater in front of her, the size of a baseball field, and in the pit was a huge meteorite, the largest meteorite she had ever seen, and at this time the meteorite was deeply embedded in the surface, and there was nothing else.

Ripple had a guess, and she whistled as soon as she could, informing everyone that she had found something here, and then stood on the edge of the giant crater with Whirlwind, looking down in distraction.

A quarter of an hour later, all the members of the vanguard team gathered together, and they were also shocked to see the huge meteorite and the huge crater that had been smashed out.

"Situ, those people you are talking about, aren't they?"

Although I don't want to say it, everyone has more or less guesses in their hearts.

"No wonder I didn't find them, it turned out."

Situ Yi was also a little sad, the probability that the entire village was hit was not very high, how could he be bumped into by them.

"We'll rest here for the night, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning for Mount Kinabalu."

Yuan Chongming could only rearrange it, and without a guide, they could only rely on the map to grope their way forward, because of the impact of the meteorite, it is estimated that many roads have been destroyed, which has caused them a certain degree of difficulty.

Everyone's mood was a little heavy, so they each found a place to sit down, and the dry food and cakes were cold and boiled water, which was considered a meal.

After filling their stomachs, everyone set up their tents and took turns to keep vigil, rest for the night, and then move on the next day.

When they climbed up from the foot of the mountain, they felt the temperature drop again, Ripple took out the thermometer and measured it, it was only minus fifteen degrees, and when it felt a little cold, everyone added a thick coat.

Because the whirlwind is short-haired, this time it was also put on a small dress by Ripples, with small shoes on its paws, and the whirlwind was not beautiful, so it was displayed in front of everyone, and after receiving a wave of praise, it returned to Ripples.

"It's you!"

Ripple rubbed the other party's head and said with a smile.

"Meow!" This is a compliment to you.

Whirlwind meows triumphantly.

After this episode, the Pioneer Team walked and stopped, and it took a day to climb a tenth of the distance, but the temperature was still dropping, and everyone paused, because the temperature had dropped to freezing, and they did not bring thicker clothing.

"I underestimated the temperature here, and then I guessed it would be below zero."

Situ Yi said.

Zhao Jia was already rubbing her hands and puffing out, and puffs of white smoke came out of her mouth, proving that the temperature was indeed very low.

"Either we take off all our clothes and put them on for two people, so that we should be able to continue the journey for a while, and if we can't hold on, we will return, and what we can find is what we can, and if we can't find it, we will go back first, and come back again when we are fully prepared."

Li Qian thought about it and proposed.

This time, no one is against it, this is the most effective method at the moment.

Ripple was looking at a tall loose, and then said to the whirlwind:

"Whirlwind, climb to the top of the tree and have a look."

"Meow!" Good!

After the whirlwind answered, he climbed directly onto the huge pine tree, and jumped out of sight in three or two strokes.

Everyone also saw the ripples, watching the whirlwind scurry over the trees, until they couldn't see each other's shadows, and everyone's heads were raised.

Ten minutes later, Ripples heard the cry of a whirlwind.

"Meow!" Cat master, there is a discovery! Come up and take a look.

Ripple's eyes flashed, and he said to a few people:

"Whirlwind has made a discovery, let me go up and take a look, you guys are waiting here."

"Okay, be careful."

Yuan Chongming didn't stop him, he knew Ripple's ability.

Ripple nodded, and with a twist of her wrist, the life-killing silk had shot out, wrapped around one of the evergreen pines, and then she leaped forward, and stood on the extended pine branches, her body shook a little, and she borrowed her strength again, and jumped upward, so that four or five times she reached the top of the pine tree.

"Meow!" Cat master, look at it.

Ripple stabilized his body and looked at the halfway point of the mountain, where a fan-shaped meteorite was inserted, like an axe head without an axe handle, and a crack was split horizontally in the middle of the mountain.

Although I don't know how deep the crack is, the snow that melts on the mountain basically flows into this crack, so it's no wonder that Qimu City has not been flooded in such a hot weather.

"Whirlwind, let's go back, this mission should be completed."

After Ripple finished speaking, she tucked the whirlwind into the backpack behind her, and then jumped down from the top of the tree, and when she landed, everyone gathered around.

"Ripples, what's the situation?"

"You don't have to go any further and find the reason for the water outage."

Ripple unleashed the whirlwind and said what she saw.

"Ripples, you mean that the meteorite disrupted the course of the melted snow."

"Yes."

"How deep is that crack?"

"This can't be seen visually, and it will only be clear after going to the nearest measurement. However, I think it must be connected to the groundwater, otherwise Qimu City would have been flooded a long time ago. ”

Ripple said directly.

"Professional things have to be done by professional people, let's go back first, bring the news back here, and see what it means."

Yuan Chongming said.

Everyone has no opinion, anyway, the reason has been found, and the task is completed.

Then a group of people began to go down the mountain bitterly, it has always been easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, it is suitable everywhere, although they are all strong adults, when they go down to the foot of the mountain, they are all tired and panting.

"No more! Captain, let's rest for a while! ”

"Okay, rest on the spot, eat something to replenish your strength, and in two hours we will return to the vehicle parking place, and there will be cars on the rest of the road, so you don't have to work so hard."

Yuan Chongming said with a rare smile, this group of people has never lost a fight, and climbing a mountain is so embarrassing, which is enough for him to laugh at.

The crowd sat around and lit a fire, ready to bake a cold and hard cake to deal with.

"Meow!" The whirlwind screamed, this one very loud and high-pitched, startling everyone.

"How about the whirlwind"

Before Zhao Jia could ask, she felt that the ground was shaking.
