The north wind is howling, and snowflakes as big as the palm of your hand are hitting people's faces one by one. People have to shake their hats and bodies from time to time to prevent being smashed into snowmen by the falling snowflakes.
There was a loud gasping sound in the long queue. Otherwise, the temperature got lower as we went north, but we were in a hurry and couldn't stop.
Recently, it has been getting dark earlier and earlier, and it has become more and more abnormal. The sun does not come out until eleven o'clock, and even the warmth of the only ray of sunshine at noon is blocked behind the thick clouds.
Seeing that the last ray of light was about to disappear, a little boy finally couldn't help but speak.
"Captain, tell the commander-in-chief that we should take a break. If this continues, some people may really be unable to hold on."
Jin Ke looked back and saw that the people behind were in groups of twos and threes, supporting each other and trying their best to move forward. Their lips were blue from the cold and their faces were bloodless.
Jin Ke sighed.
He trotted to the front of the team and said, "Old man, it's better to rest. The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger. If you continue to move forward at night, your body will not be able to withstand it, not to mention others!"
The white-haired old man in front of him was panting, with an abnormal whiteness on his face. Jin Ke felt sad when he saw it, seeing that the old man had finally regained his health, but within a few days he was like this again.
Mr. Xi had a sad look on his face, and his chapped and flaky lips trembled silently: "Xiao Jin, it's not that I don't want to rest, I'm really anxious! The lives of so many people in this big team are all pinned on my old man. I can only get there as soon as possible." Once we get to Kunlun Base, these people will have a chance to survive!"
Jin Ke knew that the old man was anxious, but things had reached this point and he was powerless.
Mr. Xi waved his hand feebly: "Let's set up the tent first!"
The old man looked forward and saw endless white snow. In the vast world, it seemed that only the group of people was left.
The old man sighed helplessly, as if he was saying something to Jin Ke, and also seemed to be muttering to himself:
"If it weren't for the extreme heat before the end of the world, how could we have lost so much power now! How come we only have so little equipment reserve? And then we fell into this predicament!
It was my mistake as the leader. I refused to believe that person's speculation and refused to obey orders. As a result, all the important equipment in the base was damaged by high temperature overnight!
It was my fault! It's my fault! ! ! "
Jin Ke looked at the old man with distress. Unknowingly, the old man who had always been upright and resolute in front of Jin Ke unexpectedly bent down.
"Old man, don't think like that. It's not your fault. If you hadn't retreated in time, now...it's still uncertain whether so many people could have escaped. Besides, even if we withdrew our personnel by then and moved to the Kunlun base."
Jin Ke looked at the back of the team, the people who insisted on following behind: "Who of these people would care about their lives and take them to move together? We should still hope that there will be a savior for the few people in the building who do nothing. Out of kindness?"
The old man looked at Jin Ke blankly, as if there was light in his eyes again: "Yes! If even us people are gone, who will protect those who are powerless?"
As people of the Communist Party of China, as the guardians of the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China, they must be worthy of the honor they have received, and they must be worthy of the compatriots who believe in and support them without hesitation.
There are so many innocent survivors behind him, so he has to take them or reach the Kunlun base. Only there can he have hope of survival.
Seeing that the old man's mood improved, Jin Ke felt very uncomfortable. Who wouldn't? It is said that Jian and later generations are not allowed to become spirits. People of their generation, including the previous generation, no longer believe in those feudal superstitions.
When the news of the apocalypse came out, various places were required to immediately start large-scale relocation operations, withdraw defensive lines, and mobilize manpower.
However, he and the old man had doubts about this. Withdrawing the defense line was not a trivial matter. Under what circumstances would such an order be given? This means that if someone with ulterior motives does something irreversible through this place, this place will be directly lost.
So when I later learned that the news was speculated by the Taoist priest next to that person, I was even more scornful.
Do you really think that the rest of them can be manipulated by a Taoist priest? There may be disasters, but they don't believe that they can shake the foundation.
But... after experiencing the incident of turning into a cat, and later contracting a strange fire, and having super powers, Jin Ke realized that now is no longer the time to believe in science before, the world has really changed, and the end of the world is coming. .
After gathering his thoughts, Jin Ke stopped thinking too much. No matter what, the top priority now was to safely lead these survivors to the Kunlun base.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, and the tent is completely unable to withstand the wind. Every time I spend the night in the snow, there are always a few that stay in my sleep forever when I wake up.
There is so much snow now that the tent is at great risk of collapse.
"Xiao Zhang, tell me, don't pitch a tent. The snow here is so thick. Find a few people, find a flat place, and call the water power users. We will directly use the snow to build the igloo. It will be strong and resistant to wind." , let’s also inform the other teams that are following.”
"Okay Captain Jin, I'll go right away"
The place they were at now was at the foot of a mountain range. Although it was bare, there were always some dead branches under the snow. Jin Ke arranged to go up there and find a way to pick them up and light some fires to keep warm.
The members of those families had already separated from their group. A few days after setting out on the road, they had disagreements over bringing these survivors. They felt that bringing the old, weak, women and children was a drag, and they had to take care of them to slow down the journey.
People from several big families are unwilling to wrong themselves. They have trucks and supplies, and a bunch of thugs who are willing to work hard for them and protect them.
Another person who is not an official like them has any responsibility. He will not delay his rush to the safe base because of these people. How can the lives of untouchables be as precious as theirs?
Jin Ke called the old man's assistant: Deputy Cheng, how long do we have to go? "
Deputy Cheng stared at the survivor bracelet in his hand and frowned. The bracelet in their hands was upgraded to the second generation and had precise positioning coordinates on it. He made a rough estimate:
"Captain Jin, we have at least half a month before we can enter Kunlun!"
"How much supplies are left, and how long can we last?"
Deputy Cheng shook his head: "We can only hold on for another month at most. We must find a way to replenish supplies, otherwise..."
Jin Ke also frowned. Originally, the supplies were sufficient, but not far from the base on the top of the mountain that day, they unexpectedly met a group of survivors from the neighboring S province.
There were nearly seventy people who had traveled all the way from province S to here. They also received news that they were going to the Kunlun base, but they went in the wrong direction and ended up in province H.
