Chapter 547: Chai Men hears the barking of dogs, and returns home on a snowy night
The snow scene over the mountains and plains is like a "cold fairy" who has come out of the world, it is very beautiful.
With low temperature, it is very deadly to rob any snow scene that is exposed to the biological life in the wilderness.
After running for nearly 80 kilometers, Sumo came to two seemingly opposite conclusions, but in fact they were not in conflict.
After leaving the convoy, he transformed into a swift road lizard and hurriedly traveled the first thirty kilometers.
While running in the wind and snow, he still had the time to look here and there, and from time to time he was struck by the greatness and magic of nature.
But after more than 30 kilometers, the body temperature dropped rapidly, and the "blade" of snowflakes hit the body while running fast.
Even though Sumo is mentally tough now, he still feels like his scalp is numb!
In fact, human beings are not bad in the biological world in terms of their body's ability to withstand low temperatures.
Although it cannot be compared with some creatures with hair.
However, the fat, muscles, adrenaline and other powerful weapons inside the human body will quickly function to stabilize the body temperature when the body reaches the warning line.
Even through methods such as winter swimming and cold showers, humans can train their ability to withstand low temperatures to reach a higher level.
So most of the time when encountering low temperatures, what needs to be solved more than the physical state is actually the
mental state!
When the body feels low temperature, the brain will continue to enter a warning state and adjust the internal energy supply environment.
It's okay for a short time, but over time, this kind of mental loss seems silent, but in fact it is extremely fatal.
It’s like boiling a frog in warm water. When you really feel that you can’t hold on anymore and can only hold on for thirty minutes at most, the time left for you is actually less than ten minutes!
And this is exactly the principle of hypothermia, a deadly weapon!
Facing low temperatures, people’s thinking will become so slow that they will not even realize that they are about to die!
Without any thought of showing off, we arrived at the corresponding location on the map.
Feeling that the muscles all over his body had begun to twitch and his mood was a little low, Somo stopped quickly, found a low-lying area and started a fire.
On a cold night, a bonfire may not seem to be of much use, but it can perfectly curb the drop in body temperature in the early stages.
Then, Somo took out the small pot that had been prepared behind him and added a few handfuls of snow and two slices of bacon into it.
In a moment, the water in the pot began to boil.
The campfire suppresses the drop in body temperature and the boiling water vapor stimulates mental recovery.
Seeing that the bacon in the small pot had started to roll up and down with the water waves, and regardless of the fact that the soup base was still a little hot, Somo squatted by the campfire and happily picked up the soup and began to take a sip.
After the hot broth enters the throat, the first feeling is that it is hot, but the next second it enters the stomach, it will quickly convert into rich heat.
With a mouthful of bacon with fat edges, the coldness all over Somo's body began to dissipate visibly to the naked eye.
From the soles of the feet, to the thighs, and finally to the upper body, after just finishing a small pot of salty broth, the heat has already revived and started a new cycle to fight against the low temperature outside.
“Whoop!”
"It's so great to have such a meal in this ice and snow!"
Put out two pieces of bacon again, grab a few handfuls of snow and put it into the pot. After cooking it in the second pot, Somo He let out a long breath of hot breath and sat comfortably in the snow.
This time, before the water in the pot boiled again, in front of Sumo's sight, the team he had been waiting for appeared on the horizon.
Like the previous convoy heading to the depression, the group of frogmen coming now are also other caravans on this "route", and they also have corresponding accompanying services.
As the lizard pulled the cart and quickly traveled to the corresponding location, Somo stood up, gently patted the snowflakes on his body and walked forward.
"Hey, Mr. Hal is so fast. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
Sumo waved his hand: "It's okay, I just arrived. Sorry to bother you!"
Different from the mighty bear-man Aval's fleet of nine large vehicles, the frogman's fleet only has six vehicles, and they are all large vehicles filled with people.
As the frogman bowed respectfully, he left and went to the cart behind.
After a while, Sumo got the "goods" he wanted.
"Master Hal, this is the human being you are responsible for transporting. This is your receipt. Thank you for trusting our Frog Team"
"I look forward to opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
< br>Like a gentleman, he pushed the middle-aged man with a numb face and handed over a piece of paper with words written on it. The frogman was smiling and extremely humble.
“Very good, the efficiency of Shenwa Racing Team is really very high”
“I have already transferred the balance of this shipment, please check it!”
With the same smile, he pulled the middle-aged man to his side. After a brief inspection, Sumo opened the mark with satisfaction and turned the five hundred contribution points to the frogman.
Money can make all the difference. If you contribute something, you can do anything in Liberty City. There is nothing you can't think of but nothing you can't do.
With only a thousand points, Sumo got the "result" he wanted.
"Hahaha, Master Hal's reputation is naturally trustworthy. No need to check."
"By the way, it's freezing cold now. Do you want us to give you a ride?" ”
Like the bear-man Avar, the frogman also understood the direction and destination of Lord Hal's trip when he got here.
After another round of compliments without leaving any trace, when Sumo refused, the frogman nodded very wisely, jumped on the lizard car and left again.
“Let’s go, my Grand Marshal, are you still waiting for me to invite you?”
Watching the frogman convoy disappear from sight, I glanced at the side next to me, dumbfounded, with a look of dismay on my face. The believing middle-aged man, Sumo shrugged his shoulders without being polite at all.
In terms of behavior alone, this middle-aged man named Marshal Wang fell into the hands of a foreign race. In order to survive, betraying information about his own people is not a heinous crime.
After all, he only stayed in the so-called super large human gathering place for five days. If he said he had any feelings, he was lying to himself.
But the reason why Sumo is so shameless is that this man was not caught by the Demon Soul Clan because of bad luck.
But he sought his own death!
According to the information from the Stone Ninja interrogation, the man took the initiative to contact the Demon Soul Clan, and wanted to exchange information about the gathering place for weapons and supplies from the beginning.
But unfortunately, Marshal Wang ignored the difference in strength between the two parties.
As he asked for a high price, the Demon Soul Clan walking outside was naturally not a good person. They tied him up and sold him as goods into the city.
At first, most of the demon souls were quite interested in the gathering place, and the prices they offered were not low.
But as more and more information was revealed, and when these people learned that the gathering place was in the mountains of thousands of miles away, the number of people who came to inquire instantly decreased by 99%.
If Hao Qiang had not bumped into him, according to the tense situation of the Demon Soul Clan in the past two days, this person would definitely have died.
Seeing Somo walking straight forward without any worry that he would escape, Marshal Wang bit his chapped lips and finally suppressed the idea of giving it a try.
They followed Somo step by step, and after about a hundred meters, they returned to the place where the bonfire was lit.
Seeing Somo sit down skillfully, pick up the boiling pot, and start to enjoy the soup and meat, Marshal Wang licked his mouth, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes.
"Hal, can you give me a few mouthfuls?"
Before being given as a gift, the stone ninja had told him a lot of things.
From the Fire Exchange, to Hal Turner, to the God Su behind the two, and the idea that Hal might borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
In order to obtain Soma's greatest goodwill, the stone ninja spent a lot of time training him.
Of course, Marshal Wang knows a lot.
For example, before sending him out of the city, he guessed that his destination was most likely Somo's territory.
He was excited for several hours.
For another example, he knows his "important" significance to Hal.
So much so that when he said this now, there was even a hint of command in his tone, and there was no plea from a subordinate to a superior.
"Huh? Dwarf Hal, I said, can you give me a drink?"
"If I die, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight Soma, the strongest of us humans. Is it easy to explain?"
Seeing that Su Mo was indifferent and continued to sip the soup with a happy face, Marshal Wang was stunned, a hint of gloom flashed on his face, and his tone was a little tougher.
Faced with groups of demon souls who were about the same size as himself, he believed that he was definitely no match. Even if he could replace one of them, he would have to pay the price with his life, which would definitely be a blood loss.
But facing a dwarf who is so short that he can only stand at his waist and has no weapons around him. Unconsciously, his courage began to grow.
He is confident that even if Hal does not consider his own significance, even if he really takes action, he can subdue the opponent in a short period of time and escape. sky!
"Are you sure you are talking to me?"
Seeing Somo finally put down the soup bowl and turned around, he looked confused.
Marshal Wang unconsciously shifted from sitting to crouching, arching his body into a fighting posture.
Temperature will affect the bestiality in animals!
When the temperature is high, animals will unconsciously become lazy and their desire to hunt is greatly reduced.
But at low temperatures, animals' desire to attack will not decrease, but will increase even more. Even humans who are advanced animals cannot escape this law.
Especially considering that Marshal Wang had just jumped off the warm cart and was suddenly excited when he came to the ice and snow.
It is reasonable to do what you are doing now.
The next second, seeing the dwarf Hal still sitting on the ground indifferently, Marshal Wang immediately became angry and rushed forward with a low roar.
I have been criticized by the Demon Soul Clan for such a long time, and I have been watched as a monkey for less than half a month.
At this moment, stepping on the snow, his fists were hardened again, stimulated by anger and blood, and his knuckles crackled.
He firmly believed that if he punched him hard, even if the dwarf had a strong ability to resist, he would not be able to escape the subsequent attacks.
And once he seizes the opportunity, after today, he, Marshal Wang, will become a free "hero" again!
Peng!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end, his punch hit him as solidly as expected.
"Hit!"
He was overjoyed. Regardless of where the punch hit, Marshal Wang immediately wanted to withdraw his fist and used his waist strength to continue to use his next blow. attack.
But the difference was that as he twitched, he didn't take his fist back.
Wow!
The next second, a huge force came from the fist.
Before he could react, he seemed to be flying, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and crashing into the snow.
? ? ?
Instead of drinking the hot broth, he fell down and gnawed on the snow. For a moment, Marshal Wang's head started to buzz.
Even though this was not hard ground, but soft snow, the impact took him three to five minutes to catch his breath.
When he opened his eyes again, Somo, who had been sitting in front of the campfire, just drank the last sip from the small pot with satisfaction.
“Ah, dog thief!”
With a shout in his mouth, Marshal Wang reflexively wanted to jump up and attack again, but as his whole body froze and the soles of his feet moved, But it fell down again.
"Hey, can't I tell you're not a coward? You're actually quite energetic?"
"You've been living in the wasteland for so many days, and with this body, it seems like you're doing pretty well on Earth, you say? You are also strange. Isn’t it good to live with hands and feet? You have to seek your own death!”
He filled the small pot with snow and heated it again, and watched Marshal Wang fall to the ground. With a look of despair on his face, Sumo rubbed his hands in surprise.
The moment the fists and palms met, Sumo initially judged the physical fitness of Marshal Wang through the opponent's strength.
It’s not as low as expected, or even a little high!
Take the physical fitness of the residents in the depression as an example. Currently, even if most people eat enough every day, only 4% have a physical fitness of over 70 points!
As for Marshal Wang, he could only eat three to four cents full every day in Liberty City, but now, his physical fitness is still above 70, which is enough to show how strong his body was before!
On earth, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the current values without a few years of exercise and a good diet.
It is hard to believe that a strong person among ordinary people would sell out information about human gathering places to other alien races for some resources.
"Earth? You, a dwarf, actually know about the earth?"
With a look of disbelief on his face, Marshal Wang raised his head.
Then, looking at the surprise and reverie on Somo's face, he immediately reacted with a look of shock: "No, you are not a dwarf, no, you are not from the Demon Soul Clan at all. Who are you? Who!”
“Who am I? Does it matter who I am?”
Looking at Marshal Wang, he could react so quickly without looking like a fool. Sumo was even more curious.
It is the same as mastering a technology in the civilized era and learning it to a very deep level.
In the end of the world, you have a body and a mind, and you are the "guy" who eats!
As long as it is not the fate of God, in a gathering place with thousands of people, according to Marshal Wang's current performance, it shouldn't be a big problem to have enough food and clothing.
“Tell me, why did you choose to betray the news!”
After a moment of silence, Marshal Wang’s eyes dimmed.
After putting the boiling water into the water bag, Somo repeated the previous operation and boiled the last pot of water.
"Can you give me some hot water? I'm so cold!"
"Yes, as long as you answer my question, this pot of hot water will be yours!"
Many situations Next, if you don’t deny it, you will affirm it.
Different from his previous arrogance, after realizing that the dwarf Hal was not from the Demon Soul Clan, he was able to achieve such a status among the Demon Soul Clan.
There was a hint of trembling in Marshal Wang's tone, and he lowered his head involuntarily.
Then, upon hearing Sumo's cheerful consent, he licked his lips: "I want them to die!"
"Oh? Why?"
"They are not human beings, they are not worthy at all. Called human beings, they killed my wife and children, and they ate them. I want them to die, I must let them die!"
Speaking incoherently, there was an undisguised look in Marshal Wang's eyes. of hatred.
Although he did not say the word completely, Somo fell silent for the first time in connection with the previous words.
Four or five minutes later, the water in the small pot began to gurgling, breaking the stalemate on the snowy night.
“Drink!”
“I have to go on my way after drinking. Don’t blame me if it’s freezing on the road!”
Take off the pot and pour in another water In the bag, seeing Marshal Wang react instantly and go to drink, but then jumped to the point of being burned, Sumo silently put away the fire.
More than four months have passed in the apocalyptic wasteland, and humans have survived for more than a hundred days.
Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Sumo never expected that it would come so early.
This time, it is no longer a collapse of order.
But the true fall of human nature and the release of bestiality!
Ten minutes later, after packing up the fire and taking Marshal Wang with them, the two began their long journey.
It is less than twenty kilometers from this place to the border of the depression, but it is nearly a hundred kilometers from the border to the foot of Tieshi Mountain.
Fortunately, as the night gradually recedes, the wind and snow in the sky finally stopped, and the temperature began to rise slightly, which means that the seven-day warning period has officially ended.
Transforming into the swift lizard form along the way, Soma walked easily.
Marshal Wang on the other side was not stupid. After finding a small tree, he easily made a simple sled for himself.
Rest when you are tired and drink water when you are thirsty.
When the time hand turned to six in the morning, and a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, two familiar mountains appeared in the field of vision.
The next moment, I saw Oreo, who was running over the snow, shouting and yelling in surprise, and a dozen people in disheveled clothes behind him.
Along the way, a lot of the depression in Sumo's heart was finally relieved!
"Hal, Master Hal, they... who are they?"
Seeing his own kind again and the enthusiasm of the other party, Marshal Wang stepped back a little unconfidently. Stepping forward, his face was full of loneliness as if he was from another world.
But the next second, as he turned to look at "Master Hal" beside him, his mouth that had not yet been closed suddenly stopped.
A flash of panic flashed across his face, and a touch of disbelief overflowed from his eyes!
"You are"
"Suma!
