Chapter 300: Small Ice Country
After entering the country of Teas, the surroundings were desolate with nothing but icebergs. A group of armored vehicles sped across the uneven ice field.
Lu Jiu stared at the car's built-in thermometer, which now showed that the temperature outside was minus 15 degrees Celsius. They had just entered the country of Teas not long ago, and the temperature was above zero before.
The car was equipped with a camera that could observe the situation outside. Shen Cheng was holding a tablet-like product and looking at the images transmitted by the device.
"There are icebergs all around us. The map shows we're in a sea called the Yaodong Sea, and it looks like it's all frozen over."
After he said that, the car shook slightly, but everyone was calm.
"Then how long will it take to get to the nearest city-state?" Lu Jiu asked.
Chen Cheng looked at the map and said, "Considering the time it will take for us to encounter wild monsters, it will probably take several hours at this rate."
Lu Jiu rubbed his face and looked out the window. In fact, there was nothing good to see outside. There was nothing but white, not even snow. It looked like the icebergs in the distance had snow on them.
I really don't know how thick the ice is. So many cars seem to be fine on it at the same time.
It was her first time sitting in a car speeding across the frozen sea, and several scenes from disaster movies flashed through her mind.
Shen Jufeng placed the small heater he had prepared in her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Jiu held the heater in both hands and placed it on Shen Jufeng's legs, wanting to keep warm with him. "Nothing, I just wondered if the car would..."
I won’t go into details to avoid bringing bad luck.
Shen Jufeng rubbed her hair and said, "It's okay. Besides, we still have wings. Even if an accident really happens, we can fly away immediately after the car is folded up."
Lu Jiu smiled, said nothing, and didn't look at the scenery outside. She leaned in her boyfriend's arms.
Apart from anything else, driving on this ice field seemed to have a speed-boosting effect. Fortunately, there was a map showing how far they had run.
After more than half an hour, a loud "boom" was suddenly heard.
Everyone stopped the car immediately. After Chen Cheng looked at the impact, he said, "Wild monsters are attacking, prepare to fight!"
"receive!"
Everyone got off the car in an orderly manner with their weapons. After Lu Jiu got off, he saw three polar bears over two meters tall.
【Phantom Sea Bear】(Gold Level)
Qi and blood: 130,000
Attack: 4699-4888
Defense: 106
Speed: 88
It has been so long, and it is rare to see gold-level wild monsters. Compared with the epic wild monsters they had dealt with before, although these wild monsters were numerous, it was not difficult to deal with them individually.
Before Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng made a move, the three armies had already entered combat mode.
The noise just now was caused by dozens of wild monsters suddenly appearing. The driver of the armored vehicle was unable to dodge and the vehicle overturned.
Fortunately, everyone inside was fine and everyone was wearing seat belts.
The polar bear's pure white fur almost blended in with the surrounding environment. When Lu Jiu first got off the car, he couldn't immediately tell how big these wild monsters were.
Dozens of wild monsters were all dealt with in less than twenty minutes.
The team whose car flipped over belonged to Captain Cheng Chen. After finishing off the wild monsters, he said seriously, "Be sure to pay attention to your surroundings when driving!"
The soldier who was driving the armored vehicle stepped forward and shouted, "Roger that!"
Cheng Chen: "Okay, let's continue."
·
This is indeed a sparsely populated area. It takes about 40 minutes of driving to encounter a group of wild monsters, and the largest number of monsters refreshed at one time is half of their number.
Most of them are of gold grade, and a few are of silver variant grade.
In this way, they finally arrived at the city-state that stood alone in that large area. This small country had only two city-states in total.
The city-state also has the characteristics of this area. The overall appearance is like an ice castle. It’s a pity that there is no sun at this time, otherwise it would definitely be beautiful under the sunlight.
The three captains got off the car first. This city-state was originally sparsely populated, and now a group of unfamiliar faces suddenly came, and the residents here looked even more confused.
The mayor of this city is a young man named Sawyer, with standard blond hair and blue eyes, and handsome and stylish facial features.
Although there are not many people in Theas, it was a developed country before the end of the world. Among the soldiers brought this time, two are proficient in the local language.
Lu Jiu really didn't understand the language of Theas. He just felt that the two sides were talking in a babble and shaking hands with a smile.
Soon they were allowed to enter the city-state and stay overnight.
It was only after entering the city that Lu Jiu discovered that there was a different world inside. From the outside, it seemed that there was no grass growing in this place, but after getting closer, he found that there were green plants inside.
There is also a planting industry here. There is an ice field outside the city-state, but there is fertile land suitable for planting inside.
They traveled all over the place, but didn't see any place where they could grow crops on their own. Perhaps the system took the living environment here into consideration and simply let the residents grow crops on their own.
After coming in, you will see not only large fields, but also rows of fruit trees, but there are not many varieties.
There are not many people here, so most of the area of this fourth-level city-state is used to grow grains, vegetables and fruits.
Lu Jiu couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really amazing here. We can actually grow our own crops. It's a pity that we can't do that where we are."
Shen Jufeng: "Every place has its own way of survival."
Lu Jiu: "But the people here seem much friendlier than those we met before."
Shen Jufeng looked around at the residents who were curiously visiting them. "It must be that life here is very peaceful. I guess there haven't been any disputes like those that have occurred in other places."
There was no fear or hostility in the eyes of these residents. They were just wondering why foreigners came to such a place.
Sawyer did not avoid suspicion at all and directly invited the three captains to talk, while the others went to stay in the hotel first.
·
Even though the people here were more tolerant towards them, no one left the room but waited for the captain to come back.
Shen Cheng and the others came back more than half an hour later, and their expressions were still serious when they came back.
Soon the three captains gathered their respective teams.
When Shen Cheng stepped into the room, dozens of people stared at him, "Captain, have you received any news?"
Chen Cheng nodded and sat down in the seat that everyone had reserved in advance. “As you all know, this is the outermost area of the Earth map. When we went to see City Lord Sawyer, the first thing he asked was whether we wanted to explore the area outside the map.”
In fact, everyone also wondered whether the people here had gone there to take a look. After all, they were in this marginal area, and it would be much more convenient for them to explore there than for them.
Lu Jiu: "So they've been there?"
Chen Cheng nodded slightly, "We did go, but were unsuccessful. According to them, after reaching the edge area, they couldn't see what was outside, and there was a layer of transparent glass blocking them."
Everyone felt a little regretful, "Does that mean we can't explore the outside world at all?"
If that's the case, then this trip was really in vain.
Chen Cheng was not so discouraged. "No matter what the situation is, we have to go and investigate it ourselves before we are satisfied. We have finally come here, so we must make every effort before making a decision."
