Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 32: The chase on the snowy field
The darkness came up, engulfing the whole mountain.
In the courtyard of the martial arts hall, it was empty. The surrounding headlights illuminate the entire courtyard. However, the surrounding houses were only dark.
There is only one bright study room. If you look from the outside to the inside, you can clearly see a silhouette leaning against a wicker chair, as if sleeping.
……
"Hoo~"
"Woo~"
When Lin Tuo transferred his consciousness to the clone and began to fall to the ground, the first sound he heard was the howl of the cold wind.
The wind is not too big, but it's probably because it passed through the nearby mountains and produced some kind of reverberation. Therefore, it was very loud and swallowed, as if the earth was crying.
Eyelashes quivered, opened his eyes, facing the face, the cold wind rushed into the face with fine snow chips.
The chill drilled from the neckline, neck, and into the clothes. Lin Tuo, who was far beyond ordinary, also shivered subconsciously.
"It's cold!"
This thought came to him.
and subconsciously tightened the zipper of the thick jacket at the neckline... Before entering, he judged that the temperature in the sand table was very low.
Therefore, I first put my clone in the martial arts hall in the sand table, and found out the light down jacket, cotton shoes, and gloves for the winter, and fully armed myself.
Although with his current body, he can carry it in single clothes in winter, but he is not a masochist, so he naturally wants to keep warm if he has the conditions.
At the moment, this decision is wise.
looked around vigilantly. In his field of vision, there was a dim wilderness, very empty, with mountains behind it, and not far in front was a dilapidated road.
The ground under the feet is covered with a layer of snow that is not too thick. Obviously, it is in severe winter.
At this moment, it's about dawn, and there is still a distance from dawn.
Lin Tuo adapted to the environment and confirmed that there was no danger around him. Then he raised his head and looked up at the sky.
In the dim night, there are wisps of black clouds above my head, and only a few starlights penetrate through the gaps, barely providing a certain view.
"It's better than I expected." Lin Tuo took off a glove and exposed his right hand to the air.
In addition to the cold, he could vaguely feel a tingling pain.
The ether in the body is more active than usual.
"Radiation." Lin Tuo spit out the word softly, his eyes heavier.
From the description of the operation log, he judged that the "annihilation bomb" that caused the disaster should be some kind of super weapon that is less powerful than nuclear weapons but similar in nature.
Although it is not a nuclear weapon, it is clear that the energy from its explosion still produces a phenomenon similar to "radiation".
and led to the death of countless lives.
Before Lin Tuo came in, he was mentally prepared. He believed that since many ordinary people here could survive, the self who was already tempering his body couldn't hold it without reason.
Things are just as he expected.
"This level of radiation can indeed cause me tingling, but it is very mild. As long as I don’t stay for a long time, it’s not a big problem."
relieved, Lin Tuo put on his gloves again and began to recognize the direction.
recalling the condescending lights of the suspected gathering place that he had glimpsed in this area before, he took a deep breath and ran at a constant speed along the dilapidated and completely impossible highway.
"Along this road, you should be able to find the city."
……
……
"Rumble..."
At the same time, it was somewhere separated by a mountain from Lin Tuo.
If you raise the angle of view and look down from mid-air, you will find that there are three modified vehicles on the snow-paved wasteland, staged a chase battle.
One of the smaller ones, took the lead and had no driving lights. It left the two cars behind and stumbled like a mad cow on the wasteland.
makes a hoarse boom.
Behind it, a little farther away, the other two modified off-road vehicles were recklessly turning on their lights, which seemed more "relaxed".
The ferocious and huge tires rolled up pieces of blizzard, leaving four deep ruts on the wasteland.
If you zoom in on the angle of view, you will find that there are actually a few soldiers in the car wearing black military coats and holding firearms.
At this moment, a man with epaulettes sitting on the front co-pilot, obviously an officer, looked gloomy and said:
"Where are we?"
the back seat of the car.
A soldier heard the words, held a flashlight, and pressed a paper map on his knee with the other hand, looked at it, and replied:
"The mine town is in front of you. It's not far away. You can arrive in five minutes at most."
"Mining Town? It seems that the hunter should be running there. The car's fuel tank is not full. After running so far, it must be almost out of fuel." The officer said.
immediately raised his voice and shouted:
"Everyone, please cheer me up, check the firearms, and prepare to be arrested. If you let the opponent go and wait for the company to return, everyone will be punished!"
"Yes! Boss!"
The sound of response, mixed with the sound of firearms pulling the insurance.
……
Not long after, the outline of a small town appeared in their vision.
collapsed buildings, dilapidated walls, and outside the town, there is also a dilapidated and corroded steel windmill, which looks like a ruin.
Only the sparse lights in the town indicate that there is human life.
When this group of soldiers approached, there were waves of tyrannical dog barking in the town, and there was also a noise, vaguely, there was fire.
"Boss, the other party abandoned the car!" The driver of the car shouted, pointing to a vehicle that had stalled on the wasteland outside the mine town.
"Keep on." The officer said, and at the same time, he drew a pistol and pulled the trigger in the sky.
"Boom!"
Amid the low sound of breaking through the sky, the noise in the town suddenly stagnated, and the two cars drove along the dilapidated road into the square in the center of the town and stopped immediately.
I saw that many people had gathered in the town.
Compared to soldiers with weapons and thick uniforms, these people are much more miserable.
are mostly short and thin, with dirty, tattered, invisible clothes, unkempt faces, dusty faces, and an unpleasant smell permeating their bodies.
Holding a "weapons" such as a wooden stick or steel bar in his hand, they gathered together in horror and timidity, and looked here in awe.
Under the firelight, some people can still be seen vaguely, with obvious deformities on their bodies.
This is a refugee from Mine Town.
"Where is the person in charge here?" As a group of soldiers jumped out of the car holding their guns, they carefully swept their guns around.
The officer squinted and asked sharply.
no one answered.
There is only panic on the faces of the refugees.
"Here! Here!" Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the crowd.
A tense but full of breath sounded.
The crowd spread out like a tide. A middle-aged man with a shabby cotton jacket on his upper body and a relatively intact overalls squeezed out~IndoMTL.com~ Behind him, there were several people holding rifles. Thugs.
But compared to the guns in the hands of these soldiers, those ragged rifles are no different from fire sticks, and their deterrence is far greater than their actual effectiveness.
"Sir, I am the person in charge of Mine Town. I wonder if you have any orders?"
The person in charge quickly glanced at the clothing of these soldiers and the emblem on the car behind him, and said with a smile.
while speaking, he deliberately stood up to make the polished metal badge on his chest more conspicuous.
The badge has a brass texture with a burning flame embossed on it, and the background is a forest standing in a snowy field.
That is the emblem of the Burning Fire Company.
"We are on a capture mission," the officer looked down at him blankly. "A wilderness hunter stole company property and killed our people. The other party abandoned the car and entered the town not long ago. "
Speaking of this, the officer suddenly raised his head slightly, his towering nose moved, and said:
"I confirm that the target is in this town and has not left. Now, you, immediately summon everyone to help us search for it! Did you hear clearly?"
……
……
At the same time.
in a collapsed building in the southwest corner of the town's central square.
A figure looked through the window and looked at the scene in the square. His eyes flickered, and then the figure moved silently, disappearing like a civet cat.
……
not far away.
In another shadow, Lin Tuo wearing a black down jacket slowly walked out of the darkness and glanced at the disappearing figure, revealing a thoughtful expression.
