My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 1139: Exploration team, survivors in the mountains!
The first snowfall of the second winter in the wasteland lasted for three days.
As time went by, the snow became heavier and the wind blew harder. Before the snowflakes could fall, they were flying in the air like torn cotton wool, falling aimlessly.
For the expedition team that has just set off.
The difficulty of this war has undoubtedly risen to another level, at least by one-third. However, the heavy snow will also become the best disguise for the expedition team.
At least in this harsh weather, any creature in the wasteland will reduce its activity frequency.
The expedition team that stretches the front line can slow down the offensive rhythm more calmly.
On the territory side.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Tianyuan Warning Wall.
With the flying snow falling all over the sky, the thick city gate had just slowly opened inward, and two Baili Lanterns appeared in the field of vision of the guards.
Compared with those ordinary models of Baili Lanterns, these two Baili Lanterns have obviously been modified in many places.
The first thing that catches the eye is the thick snow tires with anti-skid patterns. It is worth mentioning that although there is still no rubber to prepare tires in the territory, K21 high plastic molecules can be made after special weaving. A product similar to rubber tires.
In addition to the poor wear resistance, it can only be returned to the site for repair after 5,000 kilometers.
The overall performance of K21 high-plastic tires is even better. It can naturally isolate 80% of road noise and will never blow out. It can be said that it is a tire material more suitable for waste soil than rubber.
In addition, the spotlights on the roofs of the two Baili Deng cars have also been modified, and are now replaced with larger snow-penetrating light sets, with a direct irradiation distance of more than 500 meters.
At critical moments, it can also change color and shine into the sky, forming an obvious collective beam to call for help in the distance.
Further back, the color of the car body was also painted, turning it into a striking yellow.
There are several Chinese characters written on the box.
‘Tianyuan Search and Rescue Team’.
"Brother Yang, are you going out this morning just after dinner?"
As soon as the front window was rolled down, the guard saw Xiao Yang's face peeking out.
"There is no way, the task is tight, the worse the weather is, the earlier we have to set off."
"How many kilometers is it today?"
"Five hundred."
"Hey, this is not a small number, you should hurry up and set off."
After hurriedly checking the procedures and confirming that there were no problems, the guard quickly pulled up the blocking pole.
Snowy weather, unfamiliar terrain, five hundred kilometers.
This would be a bit scary if placed on a highway on Earth, let alone in the wasteland.
At Baili Deng's speed of fifty kilometers per hour, it would take at least ten hours to reach the destination.
If there is an accident in the middle, I'm afraid it will be late at night everywhere.
"Okay, thank you."
"Be safe along the way and wish you good luck."
Amidst the blessings of the guards, Baili Deng drove out of the city gate one after another.
After determining the direction, start driving all the way north.
This is a direction that Tianyuan Territory has never explored before.
Since Somo issued the search and rescue order three days ago, it has been included as the primary exploration target.
The next two Baili Lanterns will travel 500 kilometers along the north, then station in a garrison camp and search nearby for three days.
If you can find survivors from Earth within three days, you can choose to come back early or send a vehicle back to deliver the message.
If nothing is found within three days, the two vehicles will return when the time comes.
The garrison camp will become an outpost, helping the next convoy to explore further.
Staring blankly as the city wall disappeared in the rearview mirror, Xiao Yang was startled and took out the map in his pocket to look through it again.
Five hundred kilometers sounds like a very distant number.
But in fact, before the terrain is enlarged, it is only a hundred kilometers away from the boundary of the territory.
The Tianyuan Army has long explored the surrounding terrain, and there are naturally detailed records on the map.
Of course, this was something recorded before the fog.
No one knows whether there are any Blue Star buildings or gathering places five hundred kilometers away during this period, so it is still full of danger.
After looking at the map for a while, Xiao Yang raised his head and looked outside again.
Through the car window, you can vaguely see the magnificent Qinggang City not far away.
As a coastal city comparable in scale to the first-tier cities in China, it is located in the boundless wasteland, and it feels like a giant beast lying on the ground.
"The place where we are stationed tonight is a hilly area."
"After two hundred kilometers from Qinggang City, turn on the radio frequency broadcast."
"Received." A muffled reply came from the intercom.
Obviously the undulating bumps not only made Xiao Yang a little dizzy, but also the twelve guards accompanying him in the two carriages were a little nervous.
On the other hand, the two people driving the car looked in high spirits and seemed to have found new happiness.
But when driving in such an open place, there is nothing but snow.
For people riding in cars, it can be a bit boring.
"Also. I'll take a nap first. If you have any questions, just call me."
"Okay."
Facts have proved that radio frequency broadcasting is indeed the best means of transmitting information in the wasteland.
Although it is a bit difficult to make a homemade radio transceiver, it not only requires circuit design, but also transistors and other materials.
Looking at the more than 2 billion people, it is estimated that only one in 100,000 people can really succeed.
However, the six months in the deep sea really allowed mankind to regain a lot of vitality in the field of technology.
With the help of inns and trade between fleets.
Even ordinary survivors who cannot afford a transmitting device can buy a device for receiving radio frequency signals at an inn or a large power store.
The price is very cheap!
One machine only requires a month’s rations for ten people.
Seven hundred kilometers north of Qinggang City, winding and undulating mountains lie on the ground like twisted centipedes, forcibly turning the land into horizontal and vertical irregular shapes.
At this time, as the day dawns, the snow intensity weakens slightly.
In an inconspicuous mountain ridge, several humans in white clothes suddenly emerged and stepped out cautiously.
They are players from Earth and survivors who migrated from the New World.
Unlike those who stay on the shore longing for stability, almost everyone who chooses to move immediately has a strong sense of adventure.
If the sudden heavy snow had not blocked their progress, they might have reached the vicinity of Tianyuan territory by now.
The group of people went out for about five kilometers in different directions. After collecting enough information, they returned. When they returned along the road, they also carefully cleaned up their footprints, leaving no trace for anyone to follow. trace.
"Unlucky, no prey took the bait today."
"It's the same here. When it snows, those mutated beasts just disappear."
"It's good here, there are two mutant rabbits"
"Alas, two rabbits may not be enough to fill the gap between teeth. It seems that we have hollowed out this mountain range."
"We have to go. If the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it will be even harder for us to leave."
"."
More than ten people set out, but in the end only three of them brought back the loot.
Two of them caught small mutated animals, and there was not much meat that could be cut out.
However, this is already a blessing among misfortunes.
After all, they have been here for more than ten days. Even the weakest mutated beasts may have discovered that humans are hunting them.
If we want new prey now, we have to either explore farther and take risks, or move all members to move to another place and settle down again.
After discussing at the door for about half an hour, more and more exploration teams came back from all directions.
"Let's go in first, it's really cold waiting here."
"Let me count the number of people. Why hasn't this guy Lin Cheng come back yet?"
"Oh, he's going to hell. I guess he didn't find any prey today and went farther away."
"What a nonsense!"
Immediately, several people looked unhappy and subconsciously condemned.
Of course, what they condemned was not Lin Cheng's risky behavior. After all, this was within the scope of action allowed by the exploration team, as long as they came back before dark.
But looking for prey for a person infected with the **** flower virus is a bit of a joke.
Who doesn’t know that the **** flower is a terminal disease, and as long as you get it, you can only wait to die?
Giving prey to patients is pouring it into a bottomless pit, which is simply ridiculous.
"Come on, it's his mother after all, not an outsider."
"Yes, just say a few words. If your mother gets sick, I don't believe you can still sit still."
"Forget it, let's go back first, and wait until he doesn't come back later to find someone."
"Go in first."
The reason why I was looking for someone was not because I was afraid that Lin Chengzhen would die outside, but because I was worried that the traces he would leave behind would reveal the location of the migrating tribes.
Many members of the exploration team died outside before, and everyone finally buried his traces hastily. As for where the person went, almost no one except his relatives would care.
However, there are exceptions, and Cheng Fei, who did not go out today, is one of them.
As the members of the exploration team worked together to lift a huge stone, a passage extending inward appeared in front of everyone.
The length of the passage is at least thirty to forty meters, and it does not look like a natural terrain.
And this is also true. There are many blue star characters carved on both sides of the mountain wall.
If anyone who is familiar with Blue Star Language is here, they will definitely see the eye-catching signboard.
‘Dabie City Artificial Wilderness Survival Base’
One of the entertainment facilities built by Blue Star people in order to meet the citizens' needs for exploration.
Unexpectedly, as the game was released, it would appear in the mountains of the wasteland.
Soon, everyone came to the end.
After turning twice more along the bifurcated passage, we arrived at the exploration team's station.
Cheng Fei was sitting on a stone wiping his short knife. When he saw the crowd coming in, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Where is Lin Cheng?"
"He must have gone somewhere further."
One member of the exploration team replied casually, and then began to take off his equipment while talking and laughing.
Other people in the field didn't react at all. It was obvious that everyone had completely lost sight of life and death after migrating here.
Of course everyone is happy to be able to come back alive.
If you are not lucky enough to die outside, it can only be a fate.
"It's strange. Yesterday, we could see many traces of prey migration, but today we didn't find any."
"It may be that the snow is too heavy and they are covered, or it may be that the weather is too cold and they cannot come out."
"Be careful, I always feel like this is not a good sign."
"Oh, it's not bad without the Radiant Beast around. We can definitely have a good sleep."
"."
The exploration team totaled forty people. They were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Looking deeply at the person who just spoke, Cheng Fei frowned and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
In his impression, Lin Cheng was not that adventurous person.
Even if his mother did get the **** flower virus, she would not rashly go further afield in search of prey in such bad weather.
After all, there are still a lot of supplies stored in their secret base.
Even without venturing out, it can feed four people for about two weeks, which is enough.
"Are you sure he went further afield to find prey?"
Cheng Fei stepped forward and put his hand on the shoulder of the person who just spoke.
"Of course, I don't believe I can go out and see it myself."
"That's right, if you don't believe it, just go out and look for it yourself. It just saves us the trouble."
Backing away in silence, Cheng Fei's expression changed and he gave up the idea of communicating with these people.
In fact, although the entire migratory tribe now only has 800 people, its internal "system" is intricate, with at least dozens of different small groups.
Ordinary people can still get along with everything, but in the exploration team it is not so harmonious.
"Something must have happened."
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Fei became increasingly uneasy and had no choice but to put on his equipment and walk to the rear passage.
The entire wilderness survival base is shaped like a huge beehive.
Each ten-square-meter grid space is connected by slender passages, like a maze.
The person who originally designed this shape may have wanted to integrate combat with adventure and puzzle solving, but it was probably that it encountered a war not long after it was built. There does not seem to be many traces of Blue Star people left inside.
After passing through several grids in a row, Cheng Fei turned around and walked in at an inconspicuous place.
"Ahem."
Before entering, an obvious coughing sound could be heard.
It is Lin Cheng's mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties.
"Is Cheng'er back?"
"It's me~IndoMTL.com~Cheng Fei." In the grid space, a middle-aged woman was lying on the two-layer straw mat, struggling to sit up with her hands.
Beside her, there was a thin little girl, curled up and sleeping in a ball.
Did not dare to get close. Cheng Fei responded in a low voice from about ten meters away.
In the World Channel, the Hell Flower is recognized as a 'terminal disease', an existence more terrifying than the Black Death. It takes almost one to two weeks after the onset of the disease to kill someone.
Moreover, the way the Hell Flower Virus spreads is so unpredictable that some people will be selected as targets even though they have never been in contact with an infected person. Like Lin Cheng's mother, she became a victim inexplicably.
If it weren’t for some people who would not be infected even if they were in close contact with a patient, just like Lin Cheng’s sister Lin Yin, she would come into contact with a patient tomorrow but show no signs of infection.
It is estimated that no matter how brave the survivors are now, they will not dare to go deep into the New World immediately.
"Is it Cheng Fei?" The middle-aged woman struggled to squeeze out a smile and quickly patted the girl next to her: "Yin Yin, get up quickly and say hello to Brother Cheng."
