Chapter 815 Syracuse
A piece of snow, a piece of snow, a piece of snow.
This is the only feeling of Long Yuehong after the "Old Tune Team" trekking on the ice field for three days.
Here, in addition to the light blue and darkness of the sky and the various colors of the "Old Tune Group" itself, he could only see a snow-white patch.
This season, not many creatures on the ice sheet have yet to enter an active state.
If it weren't for the sunglasses, Long Yuehong would have suspected that she was blind.
"Where is the robber? Can't you come with some robbers?" Shang Jianyao, who was driving, muttered while staring ahead with his tightly protected eyes in sunglasses.
At this moment, the music didn't seem to make him forget the boredom outside.
Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, pushed his sunglasses and sneered:
"Where did the robbers come from on the ice field?
"The only result of being a robber here is to starve to death and freeze yourself."
There were very few human settlements in the ice field, and there were no caravans coming, so they couldn't support many robbers at all.
In the summer months, when the ice and snow melt and the climate is no longer cold, many relic hunters come to explore the abandoned cities in this area and obtain corresponding supplies, which will make it more lively and robbers appear.
They will not go deep into the ice field, but will stick to the southern end of the ice field to the east, to the area near the "White Knights", to find the ruins of the city where Shang Jianyao's father last appeared.
In this way, they can avoid many extreme weather, and the surrounding temperature will not be exaggeratedly cold, which is beneficial to their group's jeep that uses high-performance batteries.
Shang Jianyao deliberately ignored Jiang Baimian's words, looked in the rearview mirror and said:
"Xiaohong, why don't you pretend to be a robber?"
If it weren't for the scenery outside being too boring, Long Yuehong wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this guy:
"Why not you?"
The shock brought by the ice and snow had subsided in him.
"Okay, okay!" Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.
This made Long Yuehong not know how to pick it up.
Fortunately, at this time, Bai Chen next to him looked ahead and said:
"There seems to be ruins over there."
"Yes." Gnava gave positive feedback.
Shang Jianyao then looked around and found that in the area ahead of him, at the junction of sky and snow, there was a black shadow suspected of a high-rise building rising from the ground.
They are all covered with snow, but there are always parts that are exposed, otherwise Bai Chen would not be so sure that it is a ruin rather than a snow-capped mountain.
"Go over and take a look?" Shang Jianyao looked at Jiang Baimian and eagerly proposed, "Anyway, it's on the way."
Just go around a small arc.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"Yes, camping overnight in the ruins of the city is much safer than in the wasteland."
Those high-rise buildings can help the "old tune team" block the wind and snow, and if the ice fields sleeping in the wilderness are encountered by a snowstorm, the jeep may be directly buried, which is a natural power that Jiang Baimian and others cannot fight.
Of course, in general, urban ruins often have other dangers, but for the "old tune team", most of those dangers belong to the type that they can solve.
"Ulla!" Shang Jianyao shouted as he learned the old world entertainment materials to express his excitement.
Long Yuehong asked Gnawa cautiously:
"Are you sure it's not a mirage?"
"Theoretically, no, but if I really encounter a large-scale illusion created by the Awakeners, I won't be able to tell for the time being." Gnava answered very honestly.
"Wouldn't that be better?" Shang Jianyao became more and more interested.
Towards evening, the jeep finally arrived at the ruins of the city.
The top of each building here is covered with thick snow, and the ice ridges hang down, which not only covers part of the exterior wall, but also creates a crystal clear feeling.
In addition, the ground, pools, house bulges, iron railings, and abandoned vehicles are all covered with snow, and at a glance, the city seems to be frozen in time.
This is completely different from the scenery of all the urban ruins that the "Old Tune Group" has been to before, and it is more shocking and bleak.
"It looks the same as the ice and snow forest we passed by before." Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and expressed his opinion.
Long Yuehong noticed that the abandoned vehicles on the street were crowded together, as if they were panicking, completely blocking the traffic arteries, and suspected skeleton bulges could be seen everywhere.
Those bones were all buried in the snow, most of them only showed a certain outline, and only a few were exposed for various reasons, decayed and dilapidated.
No matter how many times he saw a similar scene, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but feel depressed and sighed spontaneously.
This is not the ending that humanity should have.
Neither natural disasters nor wars are what humans, or the vast majority of humans, want to see.
Huh, Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:
"Find a place to park and camp in a place that can block the wind and snow."
She did not plan to go to the city's high-rise buildings to enjoy the protection of the walls to avoid accidents and loss of vehicles.
Being in an ice field, without vehicles and loaded materials, no matter how strong the personal ability of the "old tune team" is, it will not be able to last for many days.
The same goes for Gnava.
Soon, under the survey and calculation of the intelligent robot, the jeep of the "old adjustment team" drove into the back of a high-rise building and stopped next to the collapsed wall.
The sound of the wind was blocked by the building, and it passed around from both sides, no longer invading them.
"Eat, eat!" Shang Jianyao enthusiastically pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Why are you so active?" Long Yuehong, who got out of the car, asked casually.
After spending the excitement of arriving at the ice field, he hadn't seen Shang Jianyao in such a state much.
Shang Jianyao replied with bright eyes:
"You can only go on an adventure when you have enough to eat and drink."
"Have a good rest, you." Jiang Baimian on the other side of the jeep stopped this guy's delusion.
Bai Chen had just pushed the door when she suddenly saw a white figure jumping from the top of a high-rise building covered with thick snow to another building, and then disappeared into her field of vision.
"There seems to be some creature over there." Bai Chen pointed in the corresponding direction.
Jiang Baimian stared away, finding nothing, and the same was true for Gnawa and others.
"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"White leopard, or some other feline."
"Cryogenic creatures with strong cold resistance?" Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.
Shang Jianyao was concerned about another question:
"What does this creature usually eat?"
"Other ice creatures." Long Yuehong felt that there was something to ask about this.
Could it be that it didn't eat anything, would you go feed it?
Jiang Baimian clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, everyone knows about the existence of cryogenic creatures, let's do our own thing."
Except for Shang Jianyao's opinion, no one else had any objections.
Soon, the "Old Tune Team" was divided into two teams, one team made dinner, and the other team broke down doors and windows nearby and collected a large amount of firewood.
The bonfire was lit, and the beating flames made people feel warm spontaneously.
Long Yuehong hadn't seen the flames for several days, and now she was quite moved.
He exhaled and said:
"I used to think that compared with the company, places like the Black Marsh Wilderness didn't look like a place where humans should live, but now I feel that compared to the ice field, those places in the Black Marsh Wilderness are like heaven."
This time, Shang Jianyao rarely did not refute him.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao wrapped themselves in thick clothes, got out of the jeep, and replaced Bai Chen and Long Yuehong on duty.
The campfire gently swayed, bringing light and warmth, but also darkness and silence.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao are both experienced warriors, and they did not lower their vigilance due to the harsh environment, they walked slowly around the campfire, observing and sensing their surroundings.
After nearly an hour, Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned and tilted his ears:
"Is there any sound?"
Papa, Shang Jianyao clapped:
"Your ears are much better than before."
He used this answer to indicate that there was indeed a voice.
The voice was humming and low, coming from afar, with a bit of wind whimpering.
Jiang Baimian focused on discerning for a while, and said to himself:
"The sound of the engine? And more than one, even more than single-digit ......."
"A convoy?" Shang Jianyao guessed excitedly.
Jiang Baimian frowned:
"In the middle of the night, what convoy will not rest?"
More importantly, what convoy will come to the ice field this season?
"You have to ask them." Shang Jianyao is justified.
Jiang Baimian listened for a while and said:
"The sound of the engine is getting farther and farther away, it should have nothing to do with us.
"Maintain basic vigilance and don't mix blindly."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was not sick this time.
After more than half an hour, those voices completely disappeared.
It was not until dawn that Jiang Baimian informed Gnawa, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong about the matter.
Then, after breakfast, they got into the jeep and prepared to leave the ruins of the city and continue to the area where their destination was located.
The jeep drove out of the city along the streets on both sides of the highway.
After passing an intersection, Shang Jianyao, who was sitting in the back row to catch up on sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly:
"There are people over there, there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ......"
He kept counting until Jiang Baimian interrupted him:
"Probably numbers."
Shang Jianyao had to stop counting:
"It's less than a hundred, but it's not much different."
