The snowflakes slowly fell, very light. Maybe it was Cassia who just stuck his head out. His eyes adjusted to the bright environment, and it was still a little blurry. The temperature was not as cold as he thought, because the strong wind stopped and the blizzard was also there. During this period of time, he exhausted his own strength and the temperature rose to about ten degrees. Cassia even felt that the air was warm.
A thin layer of clouds floated in the sky, but it also covered the entire sky, and the boundary line could not be seen. The misty white light penetrated the clouds and shone down, and the dark and thick snow cloud had disappeared. There is only a little residue left, a fragile state that may be dismembered by light at any time.
The surrounding was very quiet, there was no other sound, and the snowflakes made a breaking sound. Cassia seemed to be able to capture her breathing and heartbeat from the silence, as well as the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels, all of which were clearly transmitted to the surroundings. in the space
After the blizzard, the whole world seemed to have gone quiet, probably because almost everything had lost its life. Cassia raised his head at this time, and the ancient tree he was holding was broken from two-thirds of the way. There are only some simple thick branches left, and the leaves and small branches are all gone. The trunks are full of impact and tear scars. There are several such trees sparsely around, all with the same appearance.
His situation may be very good. Compared with the ancient tree he was holding, Cassia comforted himself and said that when he looked ahead, the huge snow peak suddenly occupied his entire field of vision.
The snow that fell from the snow peaks piled up into a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. The snow-white slope was completely incompatible with the dark and sharp rocks behind it. The snow peaks were very high. The specific number, Cassia was I can't remember standing alone at the foot of the mountain. I can't see the top even if I raise my head at 90 degrees. He thought, sighing, feeling uncomfortable as his body was squeezed by the snow.
Only the circle around the snow peak is not covered by clouds. The clouds there were weighed down by the avalanche at night and have not completely healed yet. From there, you can see a ring-like light blue sky, so clear that there is no impurity. Not much sunlight shines on the top of the snow peak, giving it a slightly golden color
It turns out that there is still a sun above the clouds. Cassia sighed again. He hugged the ancient tree and climbed up to regain a little strength. Just maintaining a body temperature above the safety line in the snow consumed him. A lot of physical strength
I always thought that I was caught in the avalanche for only a few minutes, or at most less than an hour. The time of the night battle was around 11 o'clock. Looking at the lighted sky now, I knew that the time that I was buried in the snow would definitely not be that long. So less
After finally getting out of the snow, Cassia didn't have the energy or mood to rush for the time being. The snow under her feet was rolled in from the snow peaks through avalanches. It was very strong and hard. Cassia sat down against the old tree. Rest, with his weight, he didn't sink much
This is one thing that makes him happy. Another thing is that the bullet bag hanging on his waist is still there, filled with bulging bullets, but the revolver has been lost and only one weapon is left. Tactical knife, securely secured in the scabbard on the leg
Then she took a slow and deep breath, and Cassia's stiff shoulders were able to relax while breathing. Her body didn't want to move. She hadn't rested enough yet. Cassia also told herself that she didn't need to rush, because now she didn't have to think about anything. Most people were occupied. It's buried in the snow. It definitely hasn't climbed out, and it's probably safe to say that it will never climb out.
But right in front of him, a line of neat and well-proportioned footprints caught his eye. The footprints were obviously new. Judging from the depth and appearance of the marks, he should have passed here not long ago.
There were still people alive around, but he didn't know whether they were enemies or people from his own side. Cassia decided to follow them and take a look.
"We should leave here. These traces have nothing to do with me." On the way, Cassia said to himself that he stopped because of this. When he was about to change direction and leave here completely, he heard multiple buzzing sounds from the sky. Keep walking
In the sky, a dark shadow appeared between the light clouds. The fine clouds there were flowing. On rare occasions, a gap was torn open, revealing the dark background behind. Cassia took this opportunity to peek into the complete shadow of the thing. Even though there was still no specific number on the military airship at the Volcano Base, he had also stayed in the Volcano Base for a few days. Several airships that had been under maintenance left a deep impression on him. He recognized this airship. The boat is indeed from the volcano base
"Did the volcano base finally receive the signal?" Cassia thought that because of the avalanche, the signal interference device was involved in the avalanche and was destroyed, which is a reasonable guess.
"Perhaps it's just because the impact of the explosion last night was too great, and the avalanche triggered immediately alarmed the volcano base." Cassia continued walking following the airship in the sky and the traces on the snow, heading in the direction Pointing straight at the snowy peak in front of him
There is no need to delve into the specific reasons. As long as he can arrive before the airship leaves, he can then take the airship back to the volcano base, then take the train, or the airship back to Manoma. This is what he The current plan is to run out of this mountain range on two legs. With his current physical condition and no food source, it is very difficult.
Soon after, Cassia saw a pool of bright red footprints appearing on the white snow. There was a broken corpse lying at the end. Judging from the clothes, the person on his side should be a certain captain? He could only think this way, Because everything above the chest was broken into pieces and scattered all over the floor, it has been frozen into blocks and no effective information can be obtained.
The footprints were broken here, but not far away, another row of well-proportioned footprints appeared in Cassia's scanning eyes. The row of footprints was not big, neat and tidy, moving forward slowly, very new, pointing in front of them and standing motionless. Xuefeng
It was the sniper Cassia who said that he picked up the blunderbuss next to the cold body, took all the ammunition, and followed the row of footprints out.
The overall shape of the snow is a gentle slope, because some ancient trees were lucky not to fall in the avalanche. With these ancient trees as the center, the snow accumulated, forming many streamlined small snow packs of different sizes. Because these small snow packs blocked the line of sight, You can't see everything at a glance. It's like a huge sea of snow, swallowing up Cassia's small body.
