Chapter 308 307. Ice Lantern Jade Dew [asking for monthly ticket]
Heavy snow blocking the mountain?
Zhou Qian laughed: "The deepest part is the central area of the country. The difference in climate from the surrounding areas is gradual, and there won't be a sudden cliff-like change."
"As for the heavy snow that blocked the mountains you mentioned, that's in the area close to the imperial capital. The outermost part is covered with ice and snow, and the deeper you go into the wilderness, the closer it is to spring."
He estimated the terrain and speculated: "The deepest part of the wasteland should be around the former Nanhe River. The temperature will drop below zero in winter. After the disaster, it may drop to minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius... If we go there, we might really see heavy snow blocking the mountain."
Huaiyu was not afraid, and patted his coat at this moment: "We have a lot of clothes!"
Zhou Qian laughed.
Without special combat uniforms, it was actually very difficult to withstand the cold winter with ordinary clothes. However, since the wasteland was full of plants, and some plants were reluctant to shed their leaves due to their resistance instinct, the temperature they could feel along the way was actually much higher than the outside world.
Maybe it's as warm as spring in the center of the wilderness?
He laughed at his own thought, and then seeing Huaiyu getting excited about the unfamiliar environment, he simply concentrated on driving.
The road in the wilderness is not easy to walk on.
Their initial state was covered with grass and trees. The original national roads or highways had already been torn to pieces by the overgrown plants in the early stages of the disaster.
Initially, the defense army and the garrison army joined forces to clear out the interior inch by inch, and slowly a road was formed.
At first it was just a narrow road, not suitable for marching or driving, but as time went on, their control over the outskirts of the wilderness gradually deepened, and the road became wider and wider.
Although it is not as wide as the roads in the city, it is still about three to five meters wide. However, the ground is often broken by the growing roots of trees or plants. Even though it is repaired every year, it is still a bit bumpy when driving on it.
The novelty of the whole day gradually wore off, and the view was filled with a mixture of green and yellow and brown. Huaiyu gradually felt bored, and then leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.
Zhou Qian took the initiative to say: "Remember to cover yourself with a blanket."
Huai Yu felt a little regretful in his drowsiness: "If we had known earlier, we could have hired someone to teach me how to drive. This way, Brother Zhou Qian, you wouldn't have to work so hard alone."
What kind of hardship is this? Zhou Qian only felt that it was a rare relaxing and comfortable feeling, but this feeling might not be understood by Huai Yu, who had never been to the wilderness, so he just told him: "Sleep if you want to."
“The early stages are a rare peaceful time, and you can adapt while resting your mind.”
"When the car reaches D 9 area and explores the unknown area, it is likely that the car will be unable to pass halfway. In order to continue to advance towards the center, we may have to walk for a long time."
Zhou Qian looked at Huai Yu and clearly remembered how she had slacked off on the way to Sanqing Mountain.
Huaiyu was almost woken up by the fright!
Now that the weather is getting colder, the clothes they wear are as bulging as steamed buns. It is difficult for them to even lift their feet when they walk. Why do they still want to walk?
She had made all the necessary preparations, but she had never considered exploring on foot! "And if we walk, what will happen to our car? There are so many things in the car..."
She couldn't believe it.
Zhou Qian replied, "We have already done the initial exploration of the D9 area, but the danger still exists, so there are no sentries stationed there. The car can only drive as far as possible to the center. If there is no road, we can only choose to get off halfway."
"The good news is that in this deep wasteland, no matter if they are explorers or guards, they won't come here unless they have an exploration mission. So you can park the car there, it won't get lost."
"The bad news is that if we want to bring the big guys along, our journey will be much more difficult."
The people of Huaiyu were numb.
It's not her fault. It's really hard for people to imagine things beyond their own cognition. Before she set foot on the wasteland, how could she know that it was so wonderful and primitive? At this moment, she had no desire to sleep. She stared at the bumpy and dilapidated road ahead, feeling the excellent shock absorption function of the car, and then looked at Zhou Qian with resentment:
"Brother Zhou Qian, did you do this on purpose?"
I didn't remind them at all before! Huaiyu even practiced and planned at home, and brought carrots and potatoes with him. He was afraid that if the itinerary changed, they would not have enough food, so he could continue to germinate and grow the seeds.
And Kataro, if we really have to abandon the car and walk a long distance, it would be too much to rely on Kataro alone, right? And what about the chicken? What about the chicken?
Zhou Qian shook his head: "It's not safe and dangerous in the wilderness. But if you leave them at home, you will probably be even more worried, right? Since there is no other choice, you might as well accept it slowly."
"If the temperature is too low when you get off the car, then just leave them in the car. Outsiders won't come here easily. You can grow some vines and branches to cover them completely. With your affinity for plants, they should be able to be kept safe for a short time."
"If we don't come back..."
If you can't come back, then everything will be in vain, so there's no need to think about it anymore.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Huaiyu thought about it and could only accept this method silently.
Because Zhou Qian had said before that the road to be explored is still based on the previous road. Unless there is really no other way, the car can still drive in slowly.
Otherwise, each district is equivalent to the previous city. If you rely on your legs alone, it will take a long time to reach the central area! Thinking of this, Huaiyu reacted again: "Brother Zhou Qian, you are really scaring me!"
Zhou Qian would not admit it, and at this moment he just comforted her: "You think too much. I'm driving, so I don't have the energy to think about this... It's about two hours to the next rest area camp, why don't you take a nap?"
Huaiyu felt sorry for him driving alone before, but now he put the seat down and pulled the blanket over his head: "I'm going to sleep!"
However, after closing his eyes for only 5 minutes, he heard Zhou Qian shout again: "Xiao Yu, do you want to see the mutant succulent?"
Huaiyu pulled off the blanket.
Just to the right of the road in front of me, there stood a huge, unique plant that looked as crystal clear, plump and moist as grape pulp. Each petal looked plump, as if it was filled with jelly.
"This is……"
Huaiyu opened his eyes wide, it was really surprising.
"This is a mutant succulent plant called Bingdeng Yulu. Before the disaster, this was a succulent planting base in Yuncheng and was very popular. But later, a large number of plants mutated, and the densely planted succulents quickly took over the growth. What the defense army faced was a weird collection of succulents."
"Every time it was injured, it would spray out a large amount of corrosive liquid, which was very difficult to deal with. In the end, General Lin personally led the team and froze the entire mutant directly..."
Update 1: Since I don't have a leave note this month, please give me some monthly tickets...
I fell asleep while writing!
