"Alas~ That's a pity. No one expected that the end of the world would have such extremely low temperatures. No matter whether the rivers are long or short, they are all frozen into glaciers." Xu Ling sighed.
"Sister Lin, how far is Shenlong Mountain from here?" Jia Qian asked.
"It's probably still about 80 kilometers." Zhou Lin said.
Xu Ling looked strange and asked, "How far is your Tianjia Village from Shenlong Mountain? After walking for seven days, it's still more than 80 kilometers?"
"Our village is more than 170 kilometers away from Shenlong Mountain. For the first four days, my mother and I followed the main group. We had a raft to ride, so it was no problem to travel 20 kilometers a day. For the next three days, we could only walk and were hungry, so we moved a little slower." Zhou Lin said with a wry smile.
"No, no, with everything covered in snow, how can you know the remaining distance accurately? Won't you get lost?" Xu Ling questioned.
"Well...we won't get lost if we walk along the river," Zhou Lin explained.
"Then how do you know how far the remaining journey is?" Guo Xinyi wondered.
"The Five Gorges Dam is more than 80 kilometers away from Shenlong Mountain. If you can go in a straight line, it will be closer, only about 60 kilometers." Zhou Lin said.
"Five Gorges Dam?" Xu Ling was puzzled.
"Yes, aren't we on the Five Gorges Dam now?" Now it was Zhou Lin's turn to be confused. The people in front of him lived here and didn't even know about the Five Gorges Dam.
However, she was a little puzzled as to when such a house appeared on the Wuxia Dam. She remembered that she didn't see this house when she came here for a visit two years ago.
"Are you saying that we are on the Five Gorges Dam?" Xu Ling and the other two looked at Li Mu in confusion. They had been sleeping on the way here and therefore had no idea of the surrounding situation.
Li Mu nodded and said, "This place does look like a dam. I chose this place because the terrain here is relatively high and it is a flat area."
Xu Ling and the other two nodded slightly. If that was the case, then everything made sense.
Seeing Zhou Lin's puzzled expression, Jia Qian explained to Zhou Lin: "We are also from other places."
"It's a journey of more than 80 kilometers, it's very difficult for you and your son to reach the destination alone. I'll give you a ride tomorrow." Li Mu said to Zhou Lin.
Anyway, they will pass by Shenlong Mountain tomorrow, so taking the mother and son with them is just a piece of cake. If they are left to travel on their own, they will probably starve to death or freeze to death on the road.
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhou Lin cried with joy and thanked repeatedly.
"Thank you, big brother, and thank you, sisters." After eating, Tian Tian has become very well-behaved.
Although he didn't quite understand the rules before and grabbed the food on the table as soon as he entered the door, it was understandable after all he had been hungry for so long. Besides, he didn't forget to bring a portion for his mother after grabbing the food, which showed he was filial.
"Rest early after eating, and get up early to travel tomorrow." After saying this, Li Mu returned to his room.
The remaining three people, Xu Ling, were still asking Zhou Lin questions, such as how they had survived the snowstorm and how they felt when they saw the heavy snow outside the window on the first morning. Then they couldn't wait to tell Zhou Lin how they felt when they saw the heavy snow outside, and they exchanged their thoughts with each other, which made them feel very interesting.
The next day, everyone had a simple breakfast. Li Mu put the shelter into the Qiankun Ring and set off in the flying car. Of course, the shelter was taken away without Zhou Lin and her son noticing, as he did not want to be too high-profile.
Before, when he was in Wucheng, in order not to attract the attention of Jiang Bin and Chen Rui, Li Mu did not put the shelter into the Qiankun Ring. He only put it in when he went to clean up the slaughterers at night.
Sitting in the flying car, Zhou Lin felt a little dazed. It was the first time she had seen a flying car, and it was at the end of the world. This was a huge shock to her.
Sufficient food and energy, flying cars, all of these proved that the group of people in front of her were extraordinary. She had many questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only bury her doubts in her heart.
Tian Tian was relatively young and didn’t understand these things. He was extremely excited to be able to fly in the sky. He kept his little face on the window, looking at the scenery below, and exclaimed from time to time.
After walking along the long river for about an hour, everyone saw a small hill in front of them that was particularly conspicuous. All kinds of shelters were densely built around the hill, including ice houses, wooden houses, and stone houses.
"Is that the Shennong Mountain granary?" Everyone couldn't help but sigh. They hadn't seen so many people gathered together for a long time. Looking at the scale here, there must be tens of thousands of people. Moreover, they could clearly see from the air that with Shennong Mountain as the center, there were many people gathering here from all around.
At Li Mu's signal, Jia Qian landed the flying car on the ground nearly 10 kilometers away from Shennong Mountain. Everyone planned to walk there. After all, flying cars were too high-profile. Although Li Mu was not afraid of others' jealousy, there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
After walking for a while, a few big men appeared in front of them, fiddling with something in a snow pit. Xu Ling walked up to them and asked, "Uncle, is that Shenlong Mountain ahead?"
"Yes, are you new here?" A man raised his head and looked at Li Mu and his companions.
"Hehe, yes." Xu Ling said with a smile.
The man looked at Li Mu and the others, sighed, shook his head, and then went back to digging snow.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Xu Ling was a little confused, not knowing why the man had this attitude.
"Shennong Mountain is not as beautiful as you imagine, especially for you." The man said without raising his head.
"Doesn't the dragon have endless food? Where else could there be a better place for people living in the apocalypse?" Jia Qian asked.
The man did not answer any more, and the other people in the snow pit seemed not to have heard anything and paid no attention to what Li Mu and his companions said.
The crowd had no choice but to say goodbye to a few people and continue on their way at their own pace.
On the rest of the journey, Li Mu and his group encountered several groups of people digging snow. Just like the previous group, they shook their heads when they saw Li Mu and his group.
Although Xu Ling and his companions did not find out the reason why they were shaking their heads and sighing, they roughly knew what they were doing. It turned out that these people were digging wood under the snow.
The closer we got to Shennong Mountain, the more people there were digging wood. They worked hard in the snow, as if they had endless energy.
"Girls, if you really have no choice, I advise you to leave!" A middle-aged woman sitting in front of a bundle of wood said to Xu Ling and others.
"Sister, can you tell us if you are willing?" Zhou Lin asked anxiously. Judging from the attitudes of these people, there seemed to be a big problem with the Shennong Mountain granary. This was the last hope for them and their son. How could she not be anxious?
Seeing how pitiful Zhou Lin was with her son, the woman sighed deeply, looked around, and told Zhou Lin everything she knew.
