Chapter 1143 Exploration Team, Survivors in the Mountains!

The first snow of the second winter of the wasteland lasted for three days.

As time went by, the snow became heavier and the wind blew harder. Before the small snowflakes fell, they flew in the air like torn cotton wool, drifting everywhere without a destination.

For the expedition team that had just set out.

The difficulty of this war has undoubtedly risen to another level, at least one-third of the difficulty, but relatively speaking, the heavy snow will also become the best camouflage for the expedition team.

At least in this bad weather, any creature in the wasteland will reduce the frequency of activity.

The expedition team that stretched the front line can completely slow down the pace of attack more calmly.

And on the territory side.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Tianyuan Warning Wall.

In the snow, the heavy city gate had just slowly opened inward, and two Baili Lanterns appeared in the field of vision of the guards.

Compared with those ordinary Baili Lanterns, these two Baili Lanterns have obviously been modified in many places.

The first thing that caught my eye was the wide and thick snow tires with anti-skid patterns. It is worth mentioning that although there is still no rubber to make tires in the territory, K21 high plastic molecules can be made into products similar to rubber tires after special weaving.

In addition to the very poor wear resistance, it can 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 burst. It can be said that it is a tire material more suitable for wasteland than rubber.

In addition, the spotlights on the roofs of the two Bailideng vehicles have also been modified. Now they have been replaced with a larger snow-penetrating light group with a direct range of more than 500 meters.

At critical moments, it can also change color and shine towards the sky, forming an obvious collective beam to ask for help from a distance.

Later, the color of the car body was also painted, turning into a striking yellow.

On the box body, there are a few Chinese characters.

'Tianyuan Search and Rescue Team'.

"Brother Yang, you're going out so early in the morning after breakfast?"

The front window had just rolled down when the guard saw Xiao Yang's face sticking out.

"There's nothing we can do. The mission is urgent. The worse the weather, the earlier we have to leave."

"How many kilometers today?"

"Five hundred."

"Wow, this is not a small number. You guys should leave quickly."

After quickly checking the procedures and making sure there were no problems, the guard quickly pulled up the barrier.

Snowy day, unfamiliar terrain, five hundred kilometers.

This would be a bit scary on the roads on Earth, let alone 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 was an accident in the middle, I'm afraid it would be late at night when we arrived at the destination.

"Okay, thank you."

"Be safe on the way, I wish you a smooth journey.

With the blessings of the guards, one after the other, Baili Deng drove out of the city gate.

After determining the direction, they began to drive all the way to the north.

This is a direction that Tianyuan Territory has never explored.

Since Su Mo issued the search and rescue order three days ago, it has been included in the primary exploration target.

The next two Baili Dengs will continue to move forward 500 kilometers along the north, and then station a garrison camp and search nearby for three days.

If survivors from Earth can be found within three days, they can choose to come back early or send a car back to deliver the information.

If there is no discovery within three days, the two cars will return on time.

The garrison camp will become an outpost and help the next team to explore farther.

Staring blankly at the disappearance of the city wall in the rearview mirror, Xiao Yang Only then did he startle and took out the map in his pocket to look at it again.

Five hundred kilometers, it sounds like a very far number.

But in fact, before the terrain was enlarged, it was only one hundred kilometers outside the border of the territory.

The Tianyuan Army had explored the surrounding terrain long ago, and there were naturally detailed records on the map.

Of course, this was recorded before the fog.

No one knows whether there are any buildings or gathering places on Blue Star 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 to the scale of China's first-tier cities, it is located in the boundless wasteland, and it feels like a giant beast lying on the ground.

"Where we are stationed tonight is a hilly area."

"Two hundred kilometers after Qinggang City, turn on the radio frequency broadcast."

"Received. "A muffled voice came from the intercom.

Apparently, the ups and downs not only made Xiao Yang a little dizzy, but also the twelve guards in the two cars couldn't hold it.

The two people driving the car looked energetic and seemed to have found new happiness.

But driving in such an open place, there was nothing but snow.

For the passengers, it was a bit boring.

"And I'll take a nap first. Call me directly if you have any questions."

"Okay."

Facts have proved that radio frequency broadcasting is indeed the best means of information transmission in the wasteland.

Although it is a bit difficult to make a radio transceiver by yourself, you need not only circuit design, but also materials such as transistors.

Looking at more than two billion people, it is estimated that only one in a hundred thousand people can really make one.

However, the half year in the deep sea has really restored a lot of vitality in the field of technology for human beings.

With the help of the post station and the trade between the fleets.

Even ordinary survivors who cannot afford the transmitter can buy a device for receiving radio frequency signals in the post station or the store of a large force.

The price is still very low!

One device only needs the food of ten people for one month.

Seven hundred kilometers north of Qinggang City, winding and undulating mountains lie on the ground like twisted centipedes, turning the land into irregular shapes with horizontal and vertical lines.

At this time, as the day dawned, the snow weakened slightly.

In an inconspicuous mountain, several humans in white clothes suddenly emerged and walked out cautiously.

They are players from the earth and survivors who migrated from the New World.

Unlike those who stay on the shore and yearn for stability, almost everyone who chooses to migrate immediately has a strong spirit of adventure.

If it weren't for the sudden heavy snow that blocked their progress, they might have reached the periphery of Tianyuan Territory.

Several people went out about five kilometers in different directions, collected enough information and retreated. They also carefully cleaned up their footprints on the way back, leaving no traces for people to track them.

"Unlucky, no prey took the bait today."

"It's the same here. As soon as the snow fell, those mutant beasts disappeared."

"I have two mutant rabbits here."

"Alas, two rabbits may not be enough to fill the gaps between teeth. It seems that this mountain has been hollowed out by us."

"We have to go. If we wait any longer, the snow will block the mountain and it will be even more difficult for us to leave."

""

More than ten people set out, but only three of them brought back spoils.

Two of them caught small mutant animals, and there was not much meat that could be cut out.

However, this is a blessing in disguise.

After all, they have been here for more than ten days. Even the most mentally retarded mutant beasts may have discovered that humans are hunting them.

If they want new prey now, the exploration team must either risk going further away, or all members must 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 Lin Cheng come back yet?"

"He, his fucking hell flower probably didn't find prey today, so he went to a farther place."

"What a joke!"

Immediately, several people looked unhappy and subconsciously condemned.

Of course, they didn't condemn Lin Cheng's risky behavior. After all, this was within the scope of action allowed by the exploration team, as long as he came back before dark.

But looking for prey for a person infected with the hell flower virus is a bit of a joke.

Who doesn't know that the hell flower is a terminal illness, and once you get it, you can only wait to die?

Giving prey to patients is like pouring into a bottomless pit, which is simply too ridiculous.

"You guys got it, after all, it's his mother, not an outsider."

"Yes, say less. If your mother is 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 for finding someone is not because they are afraid that Lin Chengzhen will die outside, but because they are worried that the traces he left behind will expose the stationing position of the migrating tribe.

Many members of the exploration team died outside before, and everyone finally buried his traces hastily. As for where the person went, basically no one would care except relatives.

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 or forty meters, and it doesn't look like a natural terrain at all.

And the fact is that on both sides of the mountain wall, there are many Blue Star characters carved.

If someone familiar with the Blue Star language is here, he will definitely see the eye-catching signboard.

‘Dabie City Man-Made Wilderness Survival Base’

One of the recreational facilities created by the Blue Star people to meet the citizens’ exploration needs.

Unexpectedly, with the launch of the game, it actually appeared in the mountains of the wasteland.

Soon, the group walked to the end.

After turning twice along the forked passage, they arrived at the exploration team’s base.

Cheng Fei was sitting on a stone wiping his short knife. When he saw the crowd coming in, he was stunned.

“Where is Lin Cheng?”

“He, I guess he went to a farther place.”

One of the exploration team replied casually, and then began to take off his equipment while talking and laughing.

Others in the field did not react. It was obvious that after migrating here, everyone had completely ignored life and death.

Everyone was naturally happy to be able to come back alive.

If you are unlucky and die outside, it can only be a personal fate.

"It's strange. Yesterday, we could see a lot of signs of prey migration, but today, we didn't find any."

"Maybe they were covered by too much snow, or maybe it's too cold to come out."

"Be careful, I always feel that this is not a good sign."

"Hehe, it's not good without the radiation beast around, we can sleep well."

""

The exploration team has a total of 40 people. At this time, the atmosphere is very relaxed with people talking and laughing.

After taking a deep look at the person who just spoke, Cheng Fei frowned and felt a little strange in his heart.

In his impression, Lin Cheng is not such an adventurous person.

Even if his mother really got the hell flower virus, she would not rashly go to a farther place to look for prey in such bad weather.

After all, there are still a lot of supplies stored in the secret base of the two.

Even if they don’t go out to take risks, it can feed four people for about two weeks, which is completely enough.

"Are you sure he went to a farther place to look for prey?"

Cheng Fei stepped forward and put his hand on the shoulder of the person who just spoke.

"Of course, if you don’t believe it, go out and see for yourself."

"That’s right, if you don’t believe it, go out and find it yourself, just save us the trouble."

Since he retreated silently, Cheng Fei’s face changed and he gave up the idea of ​​communicating with these people.

In fact, although there are only 800 people in the entire migratory tribe now, the internal "system" is complicated, with at least dozens of different small groups.

Ordinary people can still fit in everything, but it's not so harmonious in the exploration team.

"Something must have happened"

Take a deep breath, Cheng Fei's heart became more and more uneasy, so he had to wear his equipment and walk to the back passage.

The shape of the entire wilderness survival base is very much like a huge beehive.

Each ten-square-meter grid space is connected by a long and narrow passage, like a maze.

The person who designed this shape may have wanted to combine combat, adventure and puzzle solving, but it is estimated that it encountered a war not long after it was built, and there don't seem to be many traces left by the Blue Star people inside.

After walking through many grids in a row, Cheng Fei turned around and walked in at an inconspicuous place.

"Cough cough"

Before entering, an obvious cough came out.

It was Lin Cheng's mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties.

"Is Cheng'er back?"

"It's me, Cheng Fei." In the grid space, the middle-aged woman was lying on two layers of straw mats, struggling to support herself with her hands and trying to sit up.

Next to her, there was a thin little girl, curled up and sleeping.

Not daring to get close, Cheng Fei responded in a low voice from a distance of about ten meters.

In the world channel, the Hell Flower is recognized as a "terminal illness", which is more terrifying than the Black Death. It will kill people in almost one to two weeks after the onset of the disease.

And the transmission method of the Hell Flower virus is simply impossible to prevent. Some people who have never been in contact with the infected will be selected as targets, like Lin Cheng's mother, who became victims inexplicably.

If it weren't for some people who would not be infected even if they were in close contact with the patient, like Lin Cheng's sister Lin Yin, who was in contact with the patient every day but had no signs of infection.

It is estimated that all the survivors now, no matter how brave they are, dare not go deep into the interior of the New World immediately.

"Is it Cheng Fei?" The middle-aged woman forced a smile and quickly patted the girl next to her: "Yin Yin, get up quickly and greet your brother Cheng."
