To the north, there is a snowfield outside the wall.
The perennial blizzards carried the biting cold wind and howled across the snow-capped mountains. A team of more than a dozen pilgrims trudged forward in the blizzard. They held ropes to each other and hung bells, one after another. The walking stick was dug deeply into the ice and snow for fixed support, and he headed towards the top of the mountain step by step against the strong wind that could almost blow people away.
The whole world is white, the sky is white, the ground is white, the snow is white, the mountains are white, even the wind is white.
However, in this pure white landscape, the cliff where the girl stood became the only place with other colors.
The temperature, air pressure and oxygen content at the top of the mountain range with an altitude of more than 10,000 meters should have been so low that it would be impossible for any animals and plants to survive. But strangely, there was no ice, snow or ice at her feet. It’s lush green grass and brightly colored flowers.
What's even more weird is that the weather and temperature around her have changed drastically. The climate is warm and spring-like all year round. Even the snowflakes from the outside world will quietly melt when they fall into this green area, turning into spring rain to nourish the earth. It is bitterly cold. The cold wind will also turn into a warm and pleasant spring breeze, gently blowing through the rippling grass, making colorful flowers and butterflies dance together.
And the white-haired girl stood on the top of the snow-capped mountains, standing at the highest point in the world. Her sight pierced through the layers of fog and wind and snow falling on the pilgrims, watching them fall one after another, watching the pilgrims. The victims untied the ropes of the fallen people and left them to fend for themselves, watching as their bodies were buried in the wind and snow.
The white-haired girl stared at all of this. She seemed to be a high-altitude god. She watched those people fall one after another with an indifferent expression. There was no sadness or joy in her green eyes, and she did not make any waves from the beginning to the end.
The life and death of these people has nothing to do with her.
In the desert where the yellow sand is flying, there are also a group of people struggling to move forward.
Their eyes were sunken, their faces were sallow, and their muscles were thin. They looked like they had not eaten and rested for a long time. Most of their clothes were in tatters, mostly patchwork pieces of cloth covering their bodies. They looked like they were lost in the desert. Like a wanderer in the same direction, he trudged forward in the desert with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The people in front shook the bells in their hands while reciting prayers silently in their hearts, using the bells and ropes to guide the people behind them. The team moved forward, but soon the footprints they left would be buried by the wind and sand.
The leader with a big beard and some cloth casually wrapped around his head and neck to block the harsh sunlight and prevent his skin from getting sunburned was walking at the front of the team. His mood was a little heavy: it started from the day he escaped into the desert. Counting now, today is already the fourteenth day. Although the food reserves are still sufficient, there is not much water left.
When traveling in the desert, water is much more important than food. If food is scarce, they can eat less, tighten their belts and continue moving forward, but without water, it is really difficult to move.
But even so, no one dared to suggest stopping - they escaped from the old world towns that were gradually being buried by the wind and sand, precisely to escape the pursuit of the Skeleton Man. After decades of being turned into a wasteland, even a child now knows how far the Skeleton Man's tracking range is. If he doesn't escape far away from their tracking range immediately, he will be overtaken by them soon.
However, the leader also knew that it was too difficult to cross the Western Desert with their equipment and supplies.
We can't even reach the storm circle deep in the desert - the storm circle is the symbol of the Western Desert. According to adventurers who have returned from previous expeditions there, it is a wall of storms that stretches for hundreds of kilometers and reaches the sky. The sand and dust there cover the sky all year round and even the sun cannot shine in. It feels like
night.
The leader, who grew up in the daytime hemisphere, could not imagine what it was like at night. He looked at the desert with steaming heat that distorted the distant scene. He sighed softly, clasped his hands together and prayed softly.
Goddess, please bless us to find an oasis to stay temporarily.
In the 34th year of the New Calendar, a series of appalling turmoil and disasters have elapsed.
Decades have passed - the old world has been ravaged by disasters and has become beyond recognition, full of devastation. At first, it was Cordyceps disease with unknown infection routes, and then there were swarms of insects falling from the sky like something out of science fiction. Finally, when the Skeleton Army, which had placed people's hopes on them, also lost control, the already precarious order finally collapsed completely.
The breakdown of order is followed by chaos, unrest, and madness.
At that time, human beings had fallen from the position of being the leader of all spirits. Towns were destroyed, technological faults were broken, and the population shrunk sharply. Even the basic order no longer existed in the human group. Faced with the out-of-control Skeleton Corps and the brutal and bloody insects, When the swarms and the frightening Cordyceps disease ceased to exist, they could only survive in the cracks until that day.
The night hemisphere, the eternal night wasteland.
The impact of the earth's stopping of rotation is not only the rise in sea levels that floods large low-lying areas near the sea, but also drastic changes in the ecology of the entire planet.
The day hemisphere is always bathed in sunlight, the heat can be fully utilized, and the vegetation is lush and species-rich.
The night hemisphere is a cold hell. The eternal night makes the temperature here drop again and again, and the plants freeze to death and wither. When large areas of plants die due to environmental factors, what follows is the vast number of species in the night hemisphere. Extinct, and finally the night hemisphere gradually became a restricted area for most life forms.
Nowadays, only a few cold-resistant animals and plants whose gene expression has been changed due to environmental changes can live on this dead tundra, as well as humans who rely on the science and technology of the old world to survive.
Agou was wearing a thick winter coat and gloves, and with the help of the starlight above his head and the faint light reflected from the moon, he carefully identified whether there were any holes dug by small animals on the tundra. He looked very carefully. He almost lay on the ground and watched inch by inch.
If you can find the hidden rat's hole, just put a trap and come back the next day to see how many you can catch, and take them back to eat for your sister. But it would be even better if we found the hole of Yu! Not only can he and his sister have a meal of meat together, but the offal can also be minced with minced meat to make meatloaf, and the bones can be shaved off to make soup for another meal.
With such expectations, Agou was particularly careful to identify the burrows on the tundra.
But today, this silent and dark place of death has a slightly different color.
A ray of light that was so dazzling that it made one's eyes sting suddenly pierced the long night. The light eclipsed the stars and moonlight hanging in the sky, blooming like a rising star in the eternal night wasteland. I don’t know how many years of darkness have shrouded the surrounding area.
Agou, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment when he saw the sudden light. He glanced subconsciously in the direction of the light, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.
That's the sun? The sun has risen? !
Before he could react, Agou, who had lived in a dark environment for a long time and had only seen starlight, moonlight and lights since childhood, became blind.
If a person stays in a low-light or no-light environment for a long time, if the eyes are suddenly stimulated by strong light, the eyes will fall into a state of temporary blindness. In more severe cases, vision may even be permanently affected. Agou was in this state now, with soreness, swelling, and strong stinging pain coming from his eye sockets. The pain made him scream and roll on the ground, covering his eyes, and tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably.
This sudden light startled the nocturnal animals in the wasteland. Many small animals that had already arrived at the entrance of the cave to wander out and look for food rolled and crawled and fled back to the burrow.
Landing safely Wu Ming emerged from the solid light, but as soon as he stepped out of the teleportation light screen, he was shaken by the cold wind outside. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "It's so cold!" Where have I been thrown? ?
Immediately afterwards, Elizabeth also walked out of the light. When she was blown by the cold wind, the silly girl who was still wearing a short skirt and shirt in the winter couldn't help but shuddered because of her extraordinary physique. so cold! I want to go home! I want to sleep on the kotatsu!
As she said that, she was about to shrink into the teleportation light curtain, as if she wanted to go back and forth from there, but she was pulled back by Wu Ming before she could take a step.
Okay, come back here and stop playing tricks. Wu Ming patted Elizabeth on the head. He looked at the light screen where no figure appeared outside, and asked: "Speaking of which, why hasn't Lao Zhao come over yet?" Was she the last to enter the portal?
Huh? No. When Elizabeth was asked this question, she tilted her head in confusion: After you went in, did the doll follow you in? Didn't you see her?
Wu Ming also had a confused look on his face, and the two of them just looked at each other in confusion for a long time. It was only when the screams of Agou rolling on the ground gradually subsided that Wu Ming suddenly raised his voice.
Damn it! Done! Shame on you!
His first reaction was to go back to find Zhao Sida through the teleportation light curtain, but he immediately rejected this idea.
The doll girl entered the teleportation point after him. Logically speaking, she should have walked out of the teleportation light curtain after him, but she did not appear here. This only means that there may have been an accident in the teleportation and she fell to another place. , and the only light curtain that serves as the entrance is opened here at a fixed point, so if you go back and look for it now, you will probably not be able to find anyone.
Forget it, let's release the stealth probe and open the map first. Wu Ming shook his head, grabbed a stealth probe from the containment space, entered Zhao Sida's characteristic information, and let these little guys explore on their own.
For some reason, he remembered the serious expression and tone of the director before he came here
I encountered an accident as soon as I arrived. It seems that this abandoned world is really not simple.
big brother big brother
Wu Ming suddenly felt his arm being shaken by someone. When he came back to his senses, he found that Elizabeth was looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but wonder: What's wrong?
he! Elizabeth huddled on the ground, still covering her eyes but not rolling anymore, Agou, brother! He looks so pitiful, let's help him!
