Chapter 145: The Great Rift
Updated: 2012-09-24
Zero three are on their way to the Great Rift.
Judging by the blood stains left on the sniper bullet, Zero is certain that the Parkland Killer was seriously injured. He had no intention of continuing to pursue the killer on the Grim Reaper's Ridge, and judging by the speed at which the killer had left, he had already reached at least a kilometer away. The area of Death Ridge is too vast, a killer who is good at sniping must be good at concealment, if he has the intention to hide, it will be difficult for Zero to find him in a short time without personnel and tools.
And their estimate of the killer's appearance has been skewed by one day, although it is only one day, but it means that food will be a nuisance.
So Zero decided to leave Grim Reaper Ridge first, resupply at the nearby city base, and then find a way to kill this hot killer. Atessa had no objection to this proposal, and although she wanted to tear Lan Qi up now, she also knew that Zero's decision was right. Even she, a Semitic who grew up on the Grim Reaper Ridge, would find it difficult for her to survive on the Grim Reaper Ridge alone without a tribe to rely on. So she decided to follow Zero until she killed the demon who slaughtered the village, and as for what she would do after killing him?
Walking along the banks of the Ramasson River, the vegetation grows denser and sparser, and later, even mutated shrubs that can survive almost anywhere are no longer seen. The ground revealed yellow-brown sand and stones, and from a distance, it seemed like a halo of planets around Death Ridge. The yellow-brown ribbon of sand spread to the end of Zero's vision, and not far away, the rumbling of the Ramason River told them that the Great Fissure was near.
This large crack across the Grim Reaper Ridge is nearly a kilometer wide, and the two walls are steep and smooth, making it difficult for birds to cross. The crack was bottomless, and when you looked down from the edge, you could only see pitch black. But the sound of water from the Lamarcen River pouring into this fissure suggests that there should be an underground river in the crevasse, which leads to the infinite pollution of the sea beyond the coastline.
The existence of the Great Crack has long been controversial and is currently divided into two factions. The existence of the fissure is due to the movement of the earth's crust and the splitting of the land plate, all because the fissure starts from the coastline where the Grim Reaper Ridge is located and penetrates thousands of kilometers into the western continent. However, the border is so natural that it seems that a hole has been cut in the land, while the opposite view is held by scholars of this school, who believe that the existence of the great crack is evidence of the collision and joining of two tectonic plates in the old era. This theory is supported by the size of the Middle-earth continent, which has been measured to far exceed any of the continents of the old era, but the larger part of the continent is still hidden in the darkness of the unknown.
There is no clear answer to the controversy over the Great Rift, but these are not zero concerns. His eyes were fixed on the suspension bridge a hundred kilometers away from the Ramasson River, which had been built thirty years ago at the expense of the Adventure Traders' Guild, which connected Grim Reaper Ridge to the northern lands and became a major transportation route between the north and south of the coastline.
If there was no such cable bridge, people would have had to go around a large circle to travel between the north and the south. Moreover, the land west of the Grim Reaper Ridge is not necessarily much safer, so the appearance of the cable bridge, even if they know that there is a lot of danger on the Grim Reaper Ridge, the adventurous merchants are still willing to travel between the two places through the Grim Reaper Ridge from this bridge.
Zero three took a break near the crack.
After two days, Moni's face has improved a lot. Like Atesha, she never mentioned the wound on her leg, and Zero vaguely guessed that it had a lot to do with her rapid recovery and stabilization of her near-collapse genes. But sometimes, not everything has to be put on the lips, and it may be a better choice to put it in your heart.
Zero cut a piece of roast rabbit meat that Atesa had given him in half with a saber before giving it to Moni. Moni is an ordinary person, and her recovery ability is naturally not as fast as his, so she needs a lot of nutrients as a supplement. But even so, there was not much food left for Zero Three, and after eating this meal, the mutant rabbit was finally divided up by them.
As for clean water, if you save it, it will only be enough for about half a day. In other words, Zero must get to the supply base outside of Death Ridge within today's day, or their journey will become very uncomfortable.
Cross the cable bridge to the other end of the crevasse, and then follow the mountain path opened by the adventurous merchants to exit the Grim Reaper's Ridge. On the map, this distance is about fifty kilometers, and the closest supply base to the exit of Grim Reaper Ridge is called Windmill Town, which is a town built on the seashore to generate electricity from wind power. The town was also nearly three hundred kilometers away from the Grim Reaper, and in other words, there were at least five hundred kilometers or so left for them to walk.
500 kilometers is not long, but short is not short. Zero and Atesha can reach speeds of about 200 kilometers per hour if they are at full power. But after all, people are not machines, and the speed of the highest peak can only be used explosively, but cannot be maintained throughout the whole process. In fact, they could only travel at a constant speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and even if they were to do so, it would take them five or six hours, if nothing happened in between.
The 10-minute break passed quickly, and Moni, who was still immobile, was carried by Zero and walked along the sandstone belt of this Grim Reaper Ridge in the direction of the suspension bridge at a constant speed of 100 kilometers. However, the figures of the three of them are reflected in the lens of a sight.
Lan Qi let go of the vulture, and as soon as he regained a little strength to move, he cut in the other direction towards the cable bridge. Now, he was lying on the top of a cedar tree in the dense forest facing the cable bridge.
Looking at their speed, it will take about an hour to reach the cable bridge. What a rare break for Lan Qi. So the bald eagle took out a piece of compressed food from his pocket, and threw these bland and tasteless things into his mouth, which contained various vitamins and fibers needed by the human body. Lan Qi hugged the wild vulture and leaned against the trunk of the tree to close his eyes.
He believed that Zero definitely didn't expect that he had regained the ability to move so quickly, so when Zero and they passed through the cable bridge, Lan Qi could surprise them. In the special environment of the cable bridge, it is equivalent to an open secret room. When Zero and them reach the middle of the bridge, it will be the best time for Lan Qi to snipe, and at that time, the chance of Zero surviving will be very small.
Because, Lan Qi has found zero weakness!
