Jiang Ying remembered that it was around 11:30 when they set off, and now it was 2:30, which meant that they had been driving for three full hours.
but……
Jiang Ying raised his head and took another look at the sky. It was bright and bright at this time, as if the sun had appeared behind the clouds. If this scene were placed before the end of the world, it would be five o'clock in the morning now.
Jiang Ying changed the car's high beam to low beam. As the sky got brighter, the fog in the air also dissipated a lot. It was no longer like when they first set off, they couldn't see the scene ahead at all.
Through a layer of glass, Jiang Ying saw that they had now traveled from land to the ice. Looking around, apart from the fog in the distance, there was only the ice on the ground and no other sight.
Ice? When they just ran out of the village, their car was obviously still on land. The only positioning system they could rely on now was the survival bracelet, but the survival bracelet could not navigate. They could only judge their position and plan the nearest route according to the map. .
Without the satellite, everything would be inconvenient. Jiang Ying sighed, stopped the car, and opened the map on the survival bracelet for comparison.
When I escaped from the mutant cockroach village, I only paid attention to escaping from the village, and didn't pay attention to the east, west, north, and south at all.
Later, after resting for the night, we encountered that the sun had not yet risen. We could not determine the direction at all, and we were afraid of encountering any monsters if we stayed where we were, so we had to drive north in the original direction.
Jiang Ying turned on the intercom:
"Let's rest where we are first, and you can also replenish your energy. Although it's bright and bright now, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon. As usual, it should be when the sun is at its strongest and the sky is at its brightest. I'm afraid it's already at its brightest. to the extent.
So now we need to conserve our energy as much as possible, save up our energy, and go on the road with all our strength in the afternoon.
Besides, we are on the ice now, you..."
Jiang Ying paused and continued:
"Please forgive me, put some dry food on your stomach first, and don't light a fire on the ice. When we get out of this ice, we will find a place to take a temporary rest."
Just listen to Chen Lingling's brisk voice coming from the intercom:
"Don't worry, boss, there's nothing wrong with this. At least we can eat dry food with confidence now. Before I came out with you, let alone eating dry food, we were even afraid to drink water for fear of being discovered by the mutated cockroaches."
"Yeah, don't worry about us, and dry food is our normal food."
It was Aunt Mo who responded. Seeing that they were afraid of making her feel guilty, Jiang Ying felt a little warm in her heart. She didn't know whether it was melancholy or regret, but she always felt that there was a strange emotion lingering in her heart.
"Okay, let's rest where we are for half an hour. If we are free, you can also study our current position to see if we are traveling in the right direction. We will discuss it together after we have rested."
"good"
The map on the survival bracelet is not as detailed as the various GPS navigation maps before the apocalypse. It only has the rough outline and important symbols of each province and city. Jiang Ying can only infer from the location of Z city now.
Jiang Ying took out a notebook and pen and studied the signs on the map carefully.
The outline of this arc is City Z, and the center point should be the city government. The mountain all the way west from City Z to here is the highest mountain around City Z where Jiang Ying went to avoid the stagnant water at that time.
After coming out of the mountaintop base, Jiang Ying started to rush north to the survival base, so the current direction was a bit off.
Jiang Ying drew a line in the notebook and compared it with the marks on the map one by one. He found that his idea was correct if he went all the way north. It was indeed all the way north to Kunlun Base, but if he went straight, many places would be in the apocalypse. Previously, it was an impassable area with no roads.
On the way, you need to go around mountains, lakes, rivers, and various undeveloped virgin forests...
But the current situation is that the world is extremely cold, and the time and cycle are uncertain. When walking in a straight line, it is rare to pass through housing areas. In this case, their fuel cannot be replenished, and in many areas, cars cannot pass through.
In other words, if they walked in a straight line, they would most likely have to abandon the car and walk. Of course, Jiang Ying had space, but they could only abandon the car.
If you don't walk in a straight line, the road will be much longer. There will be all kinds of unimaginable risks on the road, and there will be snowflakes falling from time to time in the sky, which will make driving a lot more difficult. There are three bolts on the back of the RV alone. Snow chains, not to mention the two cars behind.
So no matter which route they follow, they will face a scenario, that is - abandon the car.
In this case, of the two routes, the straight line has the greatest advantage.
After thinking about the route, Jiang Ying no longer hesitated and began to carefully compare the current location of his party.
From the base on the top of the mountain to the time when you passed the Mutated Cockroach Village, your direction should have deviated from the north and kept going northwest.
Later, we left the direction of the village...
Jiang Ying had no clue. At that time, she was just thinking of escaping from the village first.
By the way, the location where the few cars are now is a lake, or on the river, as long as the surrounding waters can be excluded.
Next to the village, the largest one should be Honghe! Oh and there's a lake here. I have just been walking for nearly three hours, and for two hours it seemed like I was on the ice. If it were an ordinary lake, it would never be that large.
It seemed that they had been walking down the Hong River, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to have not reached the other side for so long.
After such a comparison, Jiang Ying knew where his party was on the map.
Next, we only need to walk five kilometers east, cross the ice at our feet, and then go all the way north to the other side.
"If, after contacting those people during this period, they are reliable enough, just tell them that you have dual powers. Ice system and space system.
Since you are choosing a partner who can work side by side, you can't hide it too much. Of course, this will happen later, and they still need to test it again now.
Jiang Ying looked at the time. Almost twenty minutes had passed and he could still rest for another ten minutes.
How can we miss milk tea on such a cold day? Jiang Ying took out two cups of taro paste Bobo milk tea from the space and handed one to Yuan Bao.
All the food in the space remains the same as when it first entered the space. The milk tea that was just taken out is still steaming, and it feels very comfortable to warm it in the palm of your hand.
I feel that the temperature in the air has dropped again in the past two days. Even though my physique has been transformed, Yuanbao is sitting next to me, and the heater is turned on from time to time in the car, my hands holding the steering wheel are still cold.
