Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 957: Alaska
The genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Three hours later.
With the help of the submarine, Qi Lin and others successfully crossed the Bering Strait and successfully landed in Alaska.
This land once belonged to Russia, but not long after the end of the American Civil War in 1867, Alaska was sold to the United States by Russia for $7.2 million, which can be said to be Successfully promoted the process of industrialization in Russia at that time, and the United States also obtained this territory occupying one-fifth of the country's land area.
Alaska is the largest state in the United States. More than one-third of the land is located within the Arctic Circle. The main landform is dominated by frozen tundra like Siberia, while Qi Lin and his landing point is located in Norton Bay The southern bank of the country, near the mouth of the Yukon River, is relatively safe in this direction because most of the organization's search forces are concentrated over the strait and the Chukotze Peninsula.
Everyone dragged their stiff bodies in the sea to the beach, gathered behind a boulder leeward, took out the dry food and water from their backpacks, and began to chew.
"To be honest..." Harves swallowed a bite of the food, and Qi Lin said, "I thought that even if we could come out this time, there would not be a few people left in the end... I mean from the beginning at Noah's Ark. I thought so when I set out from the base... I didn't expect to survive so much."
Except for Cheng Yanqiu, who has never appeared, and Bruce who was killed by Qi Lin before the start of the operation, they only lost seven people in this operation—Lin Que, Jiang Shanyan, Aken and Harvey’s four men. The number of people who arrived in Alaska alive is as many as six people-Qi Lin, Aya Kui, George, Biohazard 0592, Harves, and Qin who was rescued by them.
In terms of the difficulty of this rescue operation, this result is undoubtedly very successful...
It's just...
"We haven't really entered the safe zone. The operation is not over yet. Don't say this too early." Qi Lin stared at the compressed biscuits in his hand and said, "In terms of Qin's importance, Xia He The main brain will not give up searching so easily. If they can't find us in Chukotze and the Bering Strait, they will certainly expand the search scope. Soon, they will also appear here."
"Where are we going now? I don’t know anything about follow-up actions, but you should know more than us...that’s not the only one that the'BOSS' claimed to be the receiver A small unmanned submarine, right?" Harves asked, staring at Qi Lin.
"To be honest, what's the answer...I don't know, but I know the location of the safe base in Alaska. I think we might have to go to that place ourselves." Qi Lin said, putting the waterproof map on Spread out on the rocks, most of their electronic devices were lost or destroyed in the whirlpool torrents, and electronic maps were also included.
"So far?!"
Harves only glanced at it, and his face was already ugly.
The safe base given by the mastermind is located in the largest city in Alaska-Anchorage, and Qi Lin and the others want to get here, that is, there are only two routes.
One is to walk south along the coastline through the Alaska peninsula, and the other is the Alaska mountain range that needs to be climbed high.
The first route is extremely dangerous. The main brain and organization are likely to send drones to search along the coastline. The risk of being found in coastal areas is much higher than inland areas... and the second route, although relatively The risk of exposure is low, but it is very difficult to go.
The Alaska Mountains are one of the largest mountain ranges in North America, and Denali, the main peak of more than six kilometers, is the highest peak in North America.
In the old days, due to the influence of the warm Pacific current, the snow line in the Denali Mountains area could be more than 1,800 meters high, but after the nuclear war, the global climate changed drastically, and the warm current of the Pacific no longer passed through this area. , And the radiant cloud layer absorbs a large amount of heat that should have been projected from the sun to the ground. As a result, the average temperature in Alaska is much lower than the level of the old times. The places that should be in the temperate zone are now completely showing The appearance of a polar region.
The temperature at Qi Lin's landing site was more than ten degrees below zero. Looking around, there was a snowy area as far as they could see, and a magnificent glacier that could not be seen lay directly in front of them— —That is the Alaska Mountains that their business must cross.
"How much supplies do we have left?" Qi Lin asked. Due to the energy gathering vortex, he is not too afraid of the low temperature environment, and there is no such thing as the frost dragon in this area. Qi Lin is completely There is no need to suppress the energy-gathering vortex, so even if he wears short-sleeved shorts, he can jump in the ice and snow as much as he can... But the others are different. Escape from the underwater prison has consumed a lot of their physical energy. The cold sea water has taken away a lot of heat. Although their combat suits can be used as diving suits and have good thermal insulation properties, in this case, they are indeed slightly thin.
0592 has a thermoregulatory system in his body, so the severe cold is not too bad for him, but Aya, Harvey and George are already shaking slightly involuntarily at this time.
George becomes a werewolf, or Aya uses her mind to form a vacuum temperature zone around her body. This is indeed an effective way to keep out the cold, but the consumption of this way of keeping out the cold is too exaggerated. ...
"There are only three cold-proof clothes..." In order to carry Qin, Harves lost his backpack when he was in the underwater prison, while the backpacks of Aya Kui and George were washed away in the whirlpool. Now, only Qi Lin and 0592 are still carrying backpacks. The 0592 backpack is bigger and contains twice as much supplies. Even so, they only made up three winter clothes.
One of them must be given to Qin who is in a comatose state. He is now in a state of almost stagnant body functions, plus he has already escaped from the life-sustaining capsule. If you don’t take measures to keep warm, His body will soon be necrotic due to the low temperature. Even if Qi Lin and the others arrive at a safe base, there will be no way to wake them up.
As for the remaining two, they were allocated to Harves and George.
"Is it okay with your sister?" Harves took the winter clothes in his hand, glanced at Aya Aoi and asked... Although he did not know the true relationship between Aya Aoi and Qi Lin, it was clear that the two of them were Just knowing each other, and looking at the kind of intimacy and tacit understanding between them, if they are ordinary teammates and friends, it is not appropriate. If they are a couple, they are not considered to be...
Furthermore, Aya Kui seems to be the age of a junior high school student, and Qi Lin does not seem to have that particular hobby.
In view of this situation, Harves subconsciously regarded Aya Kui as Qi Lin's sister, and Qi Lin and Aya Kui also acquiesced to his view.
"It's okay, I'll use her as a human body heater." Qi Lin said. Aya Kui is already wrapped around Qi Lin's body like an octopus, her body is close to Qi Lin's chest and abdomen, relying on Qi Lin The heat converted from the energy gathering vortex maintains body temperature.
Since Aya can use her mind to put herself in a floating state, Qi Lin will not feel any extra burden. At most, holding the individual in front of her chest will slightly affect her actions.
"Okay..." Harves looked at them a little weirdly, and put his thick winter clothes on him.
They have been resting here for half an hour. If they don’t leave, the main brain and the organization will probably expand their search scope here.
"Let’s go, let’s go." Looking at Aya Kwai, who had her little head tucked into his arms, closed her eyes and meditation, Qi Lin gave the order to start, encircling Aya Kwai’s waist with one hand and a hand. The ice axe walked forward.
"I don't want to stay in this ruined place anymore. To be honest, this place is not covered at all, and I feel really unreliable in my heart-I always feel that chasing soldiers will come from the sea at any time..." George followed closely behind Qi Lin and said, looking back at the sea.
0592 has never spoken. His language ability is still inferior to normal humans. In addition, in his mode of thinking, he can speak without speaking, which is redundant and meaningless. The language is not necessary, especially in this case.
Qin’s was transferred from the back of Harves to the back of 0592... To be precise, it should be in the backpack of 0592. The large backpack is much larger than other people’s backpacks. Not only can you put down the double Times of materials and supplies are more than enough for one person.
……
"This is Denali National Park. It's just that you have to walk several kilometers to reach the foot of the mountain." After passing through a rocky beach and an ice field, Qi Lin and the others finally walked to a forest.
It’s just... this is a dead forest. Even the hardy coniferous forest can’t tolerate the extremely low temperature here, and the moisture in the frozen soil has turned into ice and cannot be The roots of the trees have been absorbed, and the forest has died a few years ago, leaving only countless crooked and slanted branches standing in the snow.
Denali National Park is the second largest park in the United States after the famous Yellowstone National Park. There used to be vast grasslands and lush forests, but it has been affected by nearly endless snowstorms and dozens of degrees below zero. After the extreme cold swept through, these landscapes that attracted countless tourists no longer exist, leaving only ice, snow and ice.
In order to prevent snow blindness, the team members all put on a pair of brown windshields, and on their feet are sled-like special snow-specific footwear, and walked **** a white snow field. .
This kind of polar scenery cannot be said to be spectacular, but now, Qi Lin and the others are not in the mood to appreciate it at all.
The weather is still barely clear... but you know, snowstorms here are almost commonplace, they must rush to the foot of the mountain before the snowstorm comes... Qin's state is not optimistic, the longer the delay, he The lower the possibility that his consciousness can be restored.
Qi Lin doesn’t want the person who desperately brought out of the underwater prison... will eventually become a vegetative person who can never wake up-if the ending is like this, then all the previous efforts will be meaningless .
Besides the blizzard, they also need to be careful about the predators hiding in the ice and snow-low temperature killed most of the wild animals that once lived in Denali National Park, but those who survived So become more powerful...
During the war, Alaska once became the largest forward base of the U.S. Army in the Arctic Circle. The military significance here is self-evident. As a key target, hostile forces also poured a large number of nuclear and dirty bombs. Above this land... Therefore, Qi Lin won't be surprised what kind of mutant creature can evolve here... Of course, don't encounter something at the level of the Frost Dragon...
"It seems that it is going to be dark..." George walked and looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky that was originally lead gray had become very close to black at this moment, although it is only afternoon. It's less than three o'clock, but the night on the wasteland has begun to fall~IndoMTL.com~ In addition, it is close to the Arctic Circle. After the autumnal equinox, the day will be shorter and shorter, and the night will be just the opposite.
"I suggest rest." 0592 said in a muffled voice, the night temperature on the wasteland is extremely low, and in this ice field area, it can easily reach below minus fifty degrees. Coupled with some mutant creatures that like to appear at night, night is obviously more dangerous than day.
"I agree." Qi Lin nodded. Although Qin didn't have much time left, after weighing and comparing with the risks of moving on, Qi Lin decided to rest on the spot and wait until the next day. Continue on the road at dawn.
Although Harvez was a little reluctant, he also knew how risky it was to drive at night. He didn't say much, but took off the shovel behind his back and started digging in the snow.
A rectangular snow pit with a depth of two meters, a length of five meters, and a width of two meters was quickly dug out by several people. Qi Lin put a canvas on the snow pit, and the bottom of the canvas was framed with branches. The top is covered with a thick layer of snow and stepped on with your feet. A temporary shelter has already taken shape.
Six people all got into this snow pit, where the body's heat loss rate will be greatly reduced, enough to support them through this deadly night.
The remaining small marching pot was placed on the induction cooker. Qi Lin took out a few large pieces of chocolate as hard as a rock from his pocket and threw it into the pot. As the temperature rose, the chocolate began Melting slowly, exuding an attractive fragrance.
"Ha... I can still have a cup of hot cocoa at this time. This is not a loss." Although his body is very tired, George seems to be in a good mood now, even Harves has been tight. The face also relaxes a lot.
