Section 1855 Migrating Refugees
"Is it snowing?" After Angel flew out of the cave, he saw white frost spots floating in the sky.
Looking around, the earth has indeed been covered with a layer of silver makeup.
"I hate snowy days. Especially snow with no sunlight." The one who spoke was the tree spirit, who was looking up at the sky covered by thick clouds.
The figure of the tree spirit is somewhat illusory, obviously not its true form.
After the tree spirit finished speaking, he didn't hear Angel's response for a long time and looked back in confusion. But he found that Angel was not listening to him, but was looking into the distance.
The tree spirit followed his line of sight and saw a row of ant-like black spots on the edge of the vast snowfield, slowly moving forward.
That's human beings, ordinary mortals. There were about two to three hundred people, everyone was wearing thick clothes, their faces were red from the cold, and their hair and eyebrows were all covered with white strands of ice, but no one dared to stop and could only keep walking forward.
"Hey, I can still see the refugees from Yongye Kingdom now." The tree spirit clicked his tongue twice.
"Are they refugees from the Eternal Night Kingdom?"
The tree spirit nodded: "Yes, you can tell by looking at their clothing style. But I remember that the refugees from Yongye Kingdom basically fled at the beginning of the year. Why are there still them now?"
"Maybe they're not the first batch of refugees." Although they were far away, Angel could clearly see that some of the refugees were covered in furs made of wild animal skins. The furs of these beasts are basically the common beasts in the Pamiji Plateau.
There are also obvious mottled spots on the fur, indicating that the roughest soil tanning method was used, using some trace elements in the saline-alkali land to remove oil and soften the leather. This takes a lot of time and requires finding the right territory.
In other words, this group of people at least stayed in the Pamiji Plateau for a long time and had a salt-alkali land where they lived for a long time.
After listening to Angel's analysis, the tree spirit also agreed: "I have indeed heard that a small number of refugees from the Eternal Night Country directly established settlements on the Pamiji Plateau. At that time, I also lamented that human beings have a negative impact on the environment. Adaptability.”
It is indeed possible that this group of people are the ones who are trying to survive on the plateau.
But now they seem to have moved away from their old land, because each of them brought a lot of salutes, and there were even trailers containing salutes, obviously migrating.
"Why did they migrate?" Although Angel was questioning, while raising the question, various answers began to emerge in his mind.
There are too many variables in the Pamiji Plateau, and for these ordinary mortals, any variable will bring endless dangers.
Just like some time ago, the fusion of planes caused a large number of spatial dislocations in the Pamiji Plateau. If an extraordinary person is not careful, they may fall into a point of eternal disaster, let alone ordinary people.
Not to mention the variables brought about by the extraordinary, it is difficult to avoid just ordinary situations.
Wild beasts, glaciers, diseases, etc., including a cold wind, a seemingly harmless snow, may be the last straw for this group of mortals.
So what kind of migration is theirs?
"If you want to know, just ask." The tree spirit just suggested casually, but unexpectedly, Angel actually flew to where the group of mortals were.
However, Angel did not fall into the crowd, but came to the snowfield not far behind the crowd.
A young girl with frozen limbs and red cheeks is looking at the gray sky with dull eyes, waiting for death to come.
"Is it abandoned?" A voice came to the girl's ears. She wanted to see who was speaking, but her neck was frozen and she couldn't move at all.
"Probably not. The fur on her body has not been peeled off. Abandonment shouldn't be considered. Perhaps, it is just the helpless choice of the human race in a desperate situation."
As the words fell, the girl heard footsteps walking towards her, and a figure quickly appeared in her field of vision.
A red-haired man.
He slowly squatted beside her, his messy red hair not stained with any snow.
The girl's thoughts had begun to freeze, and she had no time to think about why the snowflakes didn't fall on him. All her attention now was attracted by the other person's eyes.
Those were a pair of golden eyes.
This light golden color was the most beautiful color she had ever seen.
Is it a hallucination before death? Or is it real? No matter which one it was, the girl didn't care anymore. She was going to die anyway, so it wasn't too bad to see such a beautiful look before she died.
When she thought this might be her last thought in life, the man's slightly lazy voice sounded in her ears.
"Do you remember your name?"
…
The girl woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes, sat up and looked around.
She seemed to be confused about how her frozen body had become warm, but she didn't think too much, but slowly stood up and walked forward.
She was going to find her people and tell them about the dream she had.
In the dream, someone told her that as long as she jumped into a bottomless chasm, that would be the way to survive!
The girl doesn't know whether this dream is true or false, and she doesn't want to judge whether it is true or false. The only thought in her mind now is to convey this information and tell her people.
It wasn't until the girl disappeared from their sight that Angel and the tree spirit slowly appeared.
Tree Spirit: "It seems she really thought she was dreaming."
"It is a blessing to have a beautiful dream in such a cruel environment."
The cruel environment Angel mentioned was not only the heavy snow in the sky and the dangerous plateau, but also the reasons that led to the migration of this group of people.
Live line infection.
They learned from the girl that they were originally residents of a border town in Yongye Kingdom. Because of the changes in the dome of Yongye Kingdom, they came to the Pamiji Plateau and found a quiet salt-alkali land to settle.
Survival in the Pamiji Plateau is not easy. The settlement that originally had a population of close to a thousand people gradually lost two to three hundred people due to various reasons in the past six months.
After finally settling down, they thought they could live a peaceful life. The biggest crisis encountered was the strange infectious disease, which was the outbreak of live thread.
This live outbreak happened so suddenly, nearly 50% of the people were infected, and only a few hundred of them escaped and were forced to find a new settlement.
On the way, the girl's limbs were frozen and she suffered from a severe cold and fever. As a last resort, she chose to stay where she was and wait quietly for death.
However, what she didn't expect was that it was not death that greeted her, but Angel.
Tree Spirit: "I will take you to the ruins first. As for the location of her previous settlement, I have already informed your mentor."
If you can save it, try to save it. If you can't save it, then you have to give up. But even if we give up, we can't let this group of people remain outside. The vitality of the living thread is too strong. If it spreads beyond the Pamiji Plateau, it will be troublesome.
Angel nodded: "Let's go."
