Chapter 655 This is the New World
The snow was too deep, so the snowmobile couldn't go very fast.
After leaving Sichuan Province, the two felt that the food was not fresh enough, so they continued on towards Gansu Province for more than 20 kilometers before stopping.
It was already night when we stopped, although now it was pitch black all day long with no distinction between day and night.
But under normal circumstances, the two of them still follow their previous biological clocks, being busy during the day and resting at night.
It's already past six in the evening, so we can only set off tomorrow.
The two of them were now in a ruin covered in snow, but there was still a half-floor building above their heads that had not completely collapsed.
So the two of them planned to enter the space from here.
After putting away the snowmobile, Han Ying took Lu Yuan into the space.
Gansu Province is an unfamiliar city to both Han Ying and Lu Yuan.
Both of them had been to Xinjiang Province. Han Ying went there to buy grapes from the orchard before the end of the world, while Lu Yuan went there for a trip when he was in college.
After walking for dozens of kilometers on an open-top snowmobile, the two men were still freezing so hard that their teeth were chattering even though they were wearing thermos clothing, had a dozen hot packs stuck to them, and drank a few sips of white wine from time to time to warm themselves.
After entering the space, brown sugar ginger tea was quickly prepared. Everyone drank a big bowl of it, then went into the bathroom to take a hot bath, and only then did they relax.
After preparing food for Tangyuan and the two little ones, they set up a table nearby and started eating.
We stayed outside for too long today and were afraid of catching a cold, so most of the food we had in the evening was for warding off the cold.
After finishing his meal, he drove to Tianchi Lake on the mountain to digest the food and collected the few spiritual liquids that had accumulated in the stone bowl over the past few days.
When going down the mountain, I picked some ripe fruits on the roadside.
After doing all these to digest the food, the two of them came to the waterfall on the mountainside.
There is a whole bamboo forest next to it. In order to prevent the bamboo forest from spreading too quickly and growing too densely.
The two of them would come here to dig bamboo shoots every once in a while.
If bamboo shoots are not dug up and allowed to grow into bamboos, the area occupied by the bamboo forest will become larger and larger.
However, even if they come to dig every once in a while, many bamboo shoots will still grow into bamboos during the time they are not here.
So we have to come here every once in a while to saw some grown adult bamboos.
After digging the bamboo shoots, the two simply sat by the waterfall and drank some wine.
What we drank was plum wine that Han Ying brewed herself using the plums in the space according to the tutorial, and it tasted very good.
In addition to greengage wine, Han Ying also brews peach blossom wine, grape wine, bayberry wine and pomegranate wine.
Among these self-brewed wines, Han Ying’s favorite is peach blossom wine, while Lu Yuan’s favorite is green plum wine.
Last time the two of them drank peach blossom wine, so today they brought out green plum wine for a drink.
After drinking two small bottles of plum wine, the two went straight down the mountain.
I was covered in dirt after digging bamboo shoots, so I went to the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed in my room.
We went to bed early last night, so we both got up before eight o'clock the next day.
After washing up and having breakfast, he left some more goat milk for the two little ones and left the space directly.
After making sure there was no one nearby, we found a place to take the helicopter out.
This time, Han Ying insisted on flying the helicopter herself, so after taking out the helicopter, she went straight to the driver's seat.
Lu Yuan didn't say anything. At worst, he could just change shifts earlier.
Han Ying had been flying the helicopter for more than three hours in a row, so Lu Yuan asked to take over.
The two found a place and had lunch before continuing towards their destination.
Afraid that her whereabouts would be detected like when she was in Sichuan Province, Han Ying paid more attention to this aspect.
On the way, they discovered radar detectors and immediately turned on anti-radar, successfully avoiding detection several times.
If we were detected, we would have to do what we did in Sichuan Province, where we had to quickly switch to a snowmobile and leave after getting off the plane.
But that would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
When they were about fifty kilometers away from the border between the two provinces, the two did not land immediately.
Instead, he first used night vision binoculars on the helicopter to take a general look at the various bases in Gansu Province.
Judging from the clusters and the flames, Gan Province should have three bases, or be divided into three areas.
Just like the Sichuan Province before, there was actually no base established, there was only a distinction between the new urban area and the old urban area.
But in fact, this setting is similar to the base.
The three areas in Gansu Province are one large and two small, and the large one happens to be at the junction of the two provinces.
As for that new world, if it refers to the larger base at the junction of the two provinces, Han Ying and Lu Yuan absolutely do not believe it.
How could this mysterious new world be the same as an ordinary large base?
But even so, the two speculated that news about the new world should be available at this base.
After understanding the general situation of Gansu Province below, the two found a place to land the helicopter.
Naturally, the landing site did not dare to be close to residential areas, but instead landed more than 40 kilometers away from the large base at the border between the two provinces.
It’s already past eleven o’clock at night. I can only spend the night in the space and go back to check the next day.
The next morning, the two were busy in the space for more than an hour and did not come out until almost ten o'clock.
We took out the snowmobile and drove about twenty kilometers until we reached an area with less snow, then we changed to a pickup truck.
Because they had drawn a rough map beforehand, the two could move forward with purpose.
The large base is very obvious when looking down from above, so the location is easy to find.
At around noon, they had arrived one kilometer away from the base.
There must be people patrolling around the base, so the two found a place to park and then went into the space to have a meal.
By the way, he brought Tangyuan out of the space, put it on the sled, and pulled the two of them forward for another five or six hundred meters before stopping again.
After putting the sled and the dumplings into the space, they covered them with hot packs, put on their backpacks, took their trekking poles, and walked directly towards the base.
After walking three or four hundred meters, our bodies were covered with snow, and it looked like we had been on a long journey.
Standing next to a low wall outside the base, Han Ying looked towards the entrance of the base with a night vision telescope.
The three large gold-plated characters "New World" were prominently displayed on the gate which was seven or eight meters high.
There were five or six searchlights installed on the entire gate, illuminating the surrounding area.
There were two armed soldiers standing guard outside the gate, and next to it was a security booth about 10 square meters in size.
Through the gaps in the window, you can see quite a few figures inside.
The two men did not move forward immediately, but instead observed for a while.
A pickup truck with a fully loaded trunk was seen driving towards the gate, but it was stopped.
It is obvious that this car is coming here for the first time.
Seven people got off the car one after another, and stood at the security booth negotiating with the people inside.
Then one person got on the pickup truck, and the others followed a person who came out of the security booth and entered the base.
Someone let the pickup truck pass, and it followed the crowd in.
It seems that the people in that car also came to join this new world.
After seeing those people go in, Han Ying and Lu Yuan looked at each other, nodded, and walked out from behind the bunker.
There was no shelter from the snow above their heads when they were hiding there just now, so there was even more snow on them.
They didn't deliberately shake off the snow, but as they walked, some of the snow on their bodies slowly fell off.
"stop!"
As the two approached the gate of the New World Base, a shout suddenly came from the door of the security booth.
Instead of moving forward, he stood there waiting for the person at the door to come.
"Where did you come from?"
A big man who was at least 1.9 meters tall looked at the two weathered men in front of him.
The equipment on him looks pretty good, goggles, polar cold-proof clothing, professional mountaineering cold-proof gloves, cold-proof military boots, hiking backpack, trekking poles...
The two people were wrapped so tightly that no skin could be seen and it was impossible to tell whether they were a man or a woman.
But judging from the snow all over their bodies, they must have been hiking for a long time.
"We came from the base next door. We heard that the New World is better here, so we wanted to come and see if we can join your base."
Lu Yuan's previous height advantage was of no use at all in front of this strong man.
"You have good vision. We are a new world, so we are not comparable to ordinary small bases."
"50,000 points per person, have you found out about this?"
The sturdy man saw that the two men didn't even have a car, and looked at the two people in front of him again with a suspicious look.
"I've found out about that, but we want to know how the housing inside is solved? After we paid the entrance fee, we don't have many points left."
Han Ying didn't believe that there would be a base that would force people to buy houses instead of renting them.
"Didn't I say I found out everything? The smallest house in our New World costs 100,000 points. We can't even sell it, so how can we rent a house?"
The burly man waved at the two men, and his meaning was very clear: if they couldn't afford to buy a house, just go away.
"Big Brother, although we don't have enough points, if all the people living in your base are rich, they definitely won't want to work to earn those few points, right?"
"Then there must be some work in your base that needs people to do it. We are not afraid of hard work or fatigue. As long as you provide us with a place to live, the room fee can be deducted from our salary."
Han Ying was still unwilling to give up and tried again.
"Go, go, go... No need!"
The burly man waved at the two of them, then walked into the security booth, no longer paying attention to the two weather-beaten men outside.
After entering the security booth, the burly man winked at two of the people inside.
The two men understood, nodded, and walked out of the security booth. It was unclear where they went.
Lu Yuan raised his chin towards Han Ying, indicating that they should leave first.
The two of them looked back at the door to the new world every few steps and left in disappointment.
This "new world" base is full of weirdness, so Han Ying and Lu Yuan just wanted to test it out on purpose.
Just now, the two of them showed off their wealth a little, letting others know that they had at least 100,000 points as an entry fee.
So after leaving, the two of them deliberately walked very slowly, wanting to see if anyone would follow them and do a no-cost business.
After walking in the opposite direction of the New World Base for about twenty minutes, with their super strong perception, the two noticed a small tail following them.
There weren't many people, only four. Their speed was not slow, but the sound was very quiet. It seemed that they had done this many times before.
If the two of them didn't have such strong perception, they would not be able to notice the little tail following them.
"Ouch, I sprained my ankle, what should I do?"
Han Ying squeezed the hand that was holding Lu Yuan's hand tightly, then squatted down and hugged her ankle with a look of pain on her face.
Lu Yuan quickly realized Han Ying's intention and squatted down to cooperate with her: "Is it serious? I'll help you walk. We still have seven or eight kilometers to go. The longer you stay outside, the colder it will get. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back later."
"Humph, it's all that New World's fault. They are all black-hearted. This is the first time I've heard of people being forced to buy houses when entering the base. How is this different from robbery?"
Han Ying held her ankle and cursed the base.
"It's the end of the world now. People like us at the bottom can only listen to the people at the top..."
Lu Yuanyi supported Han Ying, and his other hand was ready to draw his knife at any time.
Because he could feel that the person following him was getting closer and closer.
Just when Lu Yuan successfully helped Han Ying up, a gust of knife-like wind came directly towards his throat where he was covered with a scarf.
The speed is quite fast, it seems that he has experience in using knives.
However, Lu Yuan himself is a knife player, so before the knife wind got close to him, a knife already appeared in his hand.
Without even looking, Lu Yuan turned his hand and the person next to him suddenly stopped.
Then a round head with a hat on rolled directly onto the snow.
The warm blood splattered on the snow, melting a small layer of snow and then forming red blood ice.
On the other side, Han Ying, who was limping, now had a pistol with a silencer in her hand. After a dull gunshot, a strong man who was rushing towards her fell to the ground.
The other two people reacted quickly. They knew at the first moment that they had met a tough guy, but when they tried to escape, a bullet hit one of them in the neck again.
Frequent movement of the neck is a weakness for those wearing windproof iron jackets.
The other man ran very decisively. He looked back and didn't see his companions who had been killed. He ran forward desperately.
Lu Yuan caught up with the man in two jumps, and then kicked the man who was running desperately to the ground.
Then he moved smoothly and directly removed the man's jaw and hand joints.
In this extremely cold day with the temperature at minus seventy degrees Celsius, after the joints were removed, the man felt the cold air outside rushing into those places.
I didn’t know if it was because of the pain or the cold, but my whole body was shaking violently.
