Chapter 329 Heavy snow, the ruins of the twelfth wonder of despair!
The wind howled.
On the snowy land, Fairchild and Bernard Teutonic walked hard on the frozen snow.
After a long period of blizzards, the snow layer around the world has now accumulated very deep. Except for Daxia, the snow layer thickness in many areas around the world has exceeded ten meters.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to walk in such heavy snow, but after all, the surrounding temperature is too low. After the blizzard arrives, it will soon melt under the extreme cold. Make a solid ice surface.
Moreover, they were wearing special shoes with huge flat surfaces, like two small boats.
There were sharp nails underneath, which allowed their shoes to be driven into the heavy snow, giving them the ability to stand in the snow. Walking in the snow.
As for moving forward in a blizzard, someone once suggested using skis and tried it. As a result, as soon as I stepped out, I was blown away by the strong wind to an unknown place.
Since then, people have invented this kind of shoes with little technological content. After all, the temperature is too low now. Although the snow is deep, the surface is frozen like an ice cube. As long as it does not slip, it is still possible. Very good for walking.
There was a clicking sound from the soles of his feet, and the biting cold wind whistled crazily by his ears. Looking around, Fairchild asked.
"How long have we been walking?"
"About a week and three days." Beside him, Bernard Teutonic answered with a frown.
"Has it been ten days?"
Felchal looked at the white sky and earth around him, his expression becoming more and more serious.
This was once the western Pacific coast of Eagle Country. It is rich in fish species and famous for its abundance of precious fish. It is one of the largest natural fishery mines in Europe.
More than 90% of the people living near this sea area are engaged in industries related to fish and tourism. Just like the villages where the two of them were rescued previously, their livelihood has been fishing for generations.
Looking around, Fairchild sighed.
When the heaven and earth disaster first arrived, this area also assisted other areas of the Eagle Country, transporting rich and large amounts of fishery resources to serve as food.
But the good times did not last long. With the disaster of heaven and earth, the fish species here also turned into raging monsters. Not to mention catching them, even approaching them would be threatened.
And with the large-scale and violent geological disasters around the world, various changes have also taken place here.
One after another, mountains emerged from the sea without any warning, and unimaginable blizzards fell. Before they could stabilize for a long time, they suffered another earthquake. The mountains and rivers cracked, rocks collapsed, and the ocean came from far away. The waves surged from everywhere again, and along with the monstrous waves, all the mountains and plains turned into oceans again.
And because of the raging blizzard, disaster struck again. The extremely cold temperature froze all the seawater, and the thickness reached a terrifying depth of hundreds of meters underwater. Everything was caught in the blizzard. Frozen into white, everything was silent.
As for the many people living here, they have already died or fled. It is not known how many people can still exist in the entire area, and most of them are not even surviving. How much.
A cliff formed a cliff, blocking the invasion of the blizzard for a moment.
Felchar and Bernard Teutonic came to this area to escape the blizzard and take a short rest.
The turbulent snowflakes condensed into ice crystals under the cold, tearing the sky apart, and the sound they brought was like thousands of evil dragons roaring in the air, which never stopped.
Looking at the vast white surroundings, Bernard Teutonic took out the dry food in his arms, gave a portion to Felchar, and chewed it carefully.
With the supplement of food, the condition of the two people has obviously improved a bit, but it is still not much better. Their faces are still pale, their lips are blue, and their whole bodies are shaking from the cold.
Bernard Teutonic seemed to have a slightly better physique than Fairchild. While tasting the delicious food sliding down his throat, he carefully adjusted the communication tool he received - that was An old radio.
As time goes by, the global magnetic field seems to be a little better and more stable, and is no longer as chaotic as before.
The good earth's magnetic field has restored some of the functions of many communication equipment around the world. Those exquisite instruments such as mobile phone networks have not yet been restored, but some old-fashioned equipment such as radios and communicators can already be used within short distances. .
After all, although old-fashioned is backward, it also means simplicity and durability in a sense.
"Is there any news from the village?" Felchar asked.
This radio has been modified and has a battery connected to the back. There is also a solar panel in Bernard Teutonic's bag, which can barely charge him.
"Let me take a look." Bernard Teutonic turned on the radio and plugged it in. Due to the howling wind and snow, the radio was frozen like a hard lump, but it is worth mentioning that this thing is still working Working tenaciously, making a rustling sound.
It didn't take long for Bernard Teutonic to receive the news, but judging from his face, it was obvious that the news was not good.
“There was another news from the communicator just now, and someone in the village is crazy again.”
“It’s Lingna, her brother, and Uncle Atang’s family next door. , and they are all crazy."
Bernard Teutonic said with an ugly face: "The number of crazy people now accounts for about 50% of the village, and when these people are crazy, the village There is always a light shining inexplicably, which is very similar to the light shining in the abnormal place in the distance.
"Fifty percent? ”
Hearing the news from Bernard Teutonic, Ferchar's face became increasingly ugly, and his unshaven face was covered with dark clouds!
"Fake!!"
Punching the ice hard, Felchar's breathing became rapid.
They have been out for ten days.
During these ten days, apart from resting and sleeping, the two of them traveled in the snowstorm.
But until now, they still have not reached their destination.
Don’t even say that you have reached your destination, you don’t even see any trace of your arrival. The flickering light in the distance is still far away.
Looking up, there was a strange luster shining in the white snowstorm.
These lusters are constantly changing between red, blue, white, and even black.
There are all kinds of colors, all colors exist, just like rainbows and aurora, appearing from time to time.
Not even a blizzard can stop their light.
This strange place appeared about a few weeks ago.
It was after this strange place appeared that people in their village began to die one after another.
And after the two of them set out to explore, everyone in the village discovered a pattern. When someone dies or goes crazy, there must be a strange light and roar in the distant snowstorm.
This became more and more certain that the anomalies in the village were related to the light in the distance, and it also made the two of them more anxious to get closer to the distance and find out the truth.
But the strange thing is that the abnormal place in the distance clearly feels very close and does not seem far away, that is, it is only a few dozen miles away.
But when the two of them actually walked that way, they couldn't get close to the mountain no matter what.
For ten days, I didn’t get any closer at all. It seemed like I was standing still.
"What on earth is going on?" Bernard Teutonic gradually became a little anxious. This thing was obviously not normal. He had a hunch that if he couldn't find the connection between the anomaly and the village, he would suffer disaster sooner or later.
When the two of them went to search for anomalies, but encountered obstacles and never came close, Bernard Teutonic once suggested that they should just go back and help the village move away from this strange place. .
Perhaps by leaving that place filled with strange light, we can avoid those disasters and avoid these disasters.
But after a brief thought, Fairchild rejected this plan.
It's not that they are halfway gone and can't go back, but that even if they return to the village now, it won't be of much use.
Today, the entire village and its surroundings have been shrouded in a heavy snowstorm. The snow around the village has reached an extremely deep level, and the temperature is also terrifyingly cold.
The village is surrounded by mountains and is located in a valley. Relying on the natural terrain advantages, it has reduced many snowstorms and withstood many severe cold arrivals.
Relying on the advantage of the terrain and the natural luck of this village, they might be able to survive this disaster.
But if everyone relocates and takes the entire village away, the risk will be too great.
You must know that there are not many supplies in the village now.
There is not much food, protection from the cold, and various fuels left.
Before they were rescued, the village also sent people out to other places to find various supplies in an attempt to fight against the disaster.
But under the blizzard, where else can we collect supplies?
There is wasteland and death everywhere. Those who went out to search, not only failed to find anything useful, but many people died every time a team went out.
The heavy down jackets they wore already accounted for more than half of the village's cold-weather clothing sets.
You must know that this place is originally located in the temperate zone, and there are not so many cold-proof clothes at home.
Even if there are, there are very few.
The snowstorm came so suddenly, and most of us relied on quilts to keep out the cold.
The things they have on them are all sewn by ingenious people who took apart the quilt.
What's more, the world is now frozen. Even if they can move, where can they move to?
This place is in danger and has not been destroyed. How can other places be better?
And now half of the village has gone crazy, how can they move?
If they had to move, they would either die from this bizarre madness or die at the hands of a blizzard.
"This damn weather! Fak!!" Bernard Teutonic cursed angrily, feeling chilled by the cold wind around him.
In fact, compared to the coldest period, the temperature between heaven and earth has increased a lot now.
You must know that during the coldest period of snowstorm in the world, the temperature has reached the terrifying minus forty or fifty degrees.
With the outbreak of various natural disasters, the harm of snowstorms seems to have been shared, causing the temperature to rise slightly.
But even so, it is still cold between heaven and earth. Even in the warmest place around the village, the temperature is at least thirty degrees below zero.
Especially because the place where they were now was still an ocean when it froze, but after freezing, it turned into an endless plain of wind and snow. There were no obstacles to avoid at all along the way.
Under the howling wind, the temperature of the surrounding world will only get lower.
“Stop talking nonsense and move on.”
Taking a deep breath, Fairchild slowly stood up and continued to move forward in the blizzard.
“Are you sure we want to continue walking?” Bernard Teutonic looked at the endless white field ahead and shivered.
"Otherwise? Either continue to move forward, or wait here to die, or return to the village to wait for death." Felchar replied in a muffled voice, feeling a little anxious in his heart: "If the reason is not found, Sooner or later we will go crazy."
"How do you know?"
"This is a premonition, and they saved us. Are we going to stand by and watch when they are in crisis? ?”
Bernard Teutonic was silent and did not continue to speak. He picked up his luggage and continued to move forward.
The two of them walked on the vast ice and snow plain.
Two deep footprints appeared in the wind and snow, and were soon buried again by the blizzard.
I don’t know how long it took, but Bernard Teutonic suddenly spoke.
"Lina is a good girl. She should not go crazy. Without her, we might have frozen to death in the snowstorm."
Felchar glanced in surprise when he heard this, and then rolled his eyes at him.
“I think you are old enough to be her father.”
“I am simply grateful for her life-saving grace,” Bernard Teutonic said, shivering with cold. Shivering, he wrapped himself in thin warm clothes: "In this damn world, it's good to be able to save people. If you see two people unconscious from freezing in a snowstorm, your first reaction will definitely not be to save them. But to see if there is anything valuable in them."
"But aren't you saving people now?"
"It's more about saving myself. Damn it. "The way of the world"
It was windy and snowy, and the weather was freezing. Along the way, the two of them chattered, most of them words that were not nutritious.
This is not because the two of them have nothing to do, but to fight against the cold and sleepiness.
When they became police officers, they had received various courses and training, part of which was to survive in extreme environments. Talking was one of the ways to shield sleepiness and improve spirits to the greatest extent. , they were still looking helpless when they were studying, thinking that even if they knew about this kind of thing, it would be of no use anyway. With so many police officers, who would be able to keep track of them to the point of falling asleep?
I didn’t expect that one day it would really be useful.
Cold and hunger had already made the two of them drowsy. Sleeping in such a place was almost tantamount to seeking death. Now the only thing that supported them was the faith in their hearts.
Just when the two of them were struggling to move forward, they were almost giving up the search.
In the blizzard ahead, a strange light finally appeared.
“Huh?”
Felchal was stunned and looked into the distance with some confusion.
“Look over there!”
"What is that?!"
