A Will Eternal Chapter 277
The heavenly food truck offers bisques. ()
It's really just a bowl of soup, but it has an indescribably delicious taste.
Of course, it’s not as simple as a good taste.
This is a kind of magic food, unlike industrial flavors, it tastes good but cannot be recognized by the digestive system at all. This is the real concentrated essence, which is beneficial to the body and mind.
After drinking a bowl of soup, you will feel warm all day long, comfortable from the inside out, and have a strong sense of fullness.
Those who have tasted it are all full of praise for this soup, and some exaggeratedly said: "After drinking this bowl of soup, it is worth dying!"
Kane said in his heart: "It would be best if you can think so."
Kendall further north, the next stop is a town called Sharp.
Supply stations are generally based on towns, which are convenient to establish. At the same time, towns are also suitable shelters. Groups of people arrive, live temporarily, and then leave, and the purpose of the supply station is achieved.
However, teams that are seriously left behind like this generally don't deliberately rest in the town. Their speed is really slow.
This time was the same, they chose to rest in a forest.
What's interesting is that going first does not mean winning first. There are really many people who died on the way of migration.
If it weren't for extreme disasters like bomb cyclones, under normal circumstances, severe cold death would be silent. The cold deprives body temperature, and the limbs go from knife-like stinging pain to numbness and heavyness. People who lack relevant knowledge think that they have adapted to the cold, but it is actually the result of the deep penetration of the cold. At this time, it is actually very dangerous, and there is a possibility of organ failure and sudden death at any time.
As a result, people fell over while walking, and could no longer get up.
Dying is not very painful, or rather, it has already been painful.
Death from the freezing cold, the last journey is not very painful, and the consciousness has been blurred due to the slow lack of oxygen. Even many people who died of freezing had smiles on their faces.
When too many deaths occur, many people will suddenly realize that there is nothing more precious than life and family affection.
In this context, people become more practical and rational,
Rather than being more crazy, before that step is reached, the loss of hope will drive people crazy. If it is only pressure, even if it is due to poor pressure-bearing ability and erupts, the climate will become rational after the fire.
Either plan wisely and try to survive, or die. The situation is really in front of them, and most people can still make the right choice.
Therefore, along the road, you can see many corpses that are simply buried in the snow.
Some of these corpses were buried deeply by the wind and snow, and some of them were lifted by the strong wind, revealing part of their clothes, to see where they were buried.
Those who lacked knowledge, or those who fell on the road and buried hastily on the spot, were basically dug out by the strong wind.
In addition to people, there are things.
Poor families have more bags. The poorer you are, the more thoughtful you are with your bags. Pots, pans, and large bags are like moving house, and some people overestimate their ability to carry a bag that weighs more than 100 catties in a day. , I was already exhausted, three days would require the physique of a big animal, and one week, I would either be completely exhausted or have been left behind repeatedly.
The cruel reality and difficult choices lead to countless discards along the way.
That scene makes people feel miserable, but thinking about it better, this can be regarded as a process of wealth equalization.
Kane noticed that each member of the disadvantaged team at the end bought a good set of equipment for themselves. Under normal circumstances, they have worked hard all their lives, and the spare money they have accumulated may not be able to afford such a set.
Better equipment allowed these men to camp and rest in the woodlands.
However, this was destined to be a special night. The next morning, more than half of the people failed to wake up, and they died in their dreams.
In fact, it is not only the dead who dream, but also the living who dream. This dream was very realistic and made them feel joyful. This joy relieved the pressure of survival to a considerable extent. Now they feel full of energy and their physical condition seems to be much better.
Combine that with the fact that so many people died, and it's natural to wonder. Careful people found that most of the dead were not in good condition.
It can even be said that those are all burdens that slow down the speed of the team, but people are unwilling to give up if there is anything to do, so there is this migration team that drags at the end.
Smart people have already speculated: the heavenly restaurant, the survival of the fittest, a bowl of thick soup, the strong will be healthier, and the weak will go to heaven.
Pack up your feelings and bags, people leave, the dead are dead, and the living will continue to survive. Someone said: "Dying without pain in Enron may be the best ending for those people."
The Heavenly Train went further north, catching up with more and more groups of refugees.
With a family and a mouth, it is difficult to travel north. No matter whether they were bewitched and followed blindly, or they seemed to have a plan in mind and took the initiative to go north, these people couldn't get rid of their labels of vulnerable groups or unlucky ones.
The original swamp has become frozen soil, and the long grass has been basically buried by the snow, with only a few exposed on the surface, embellishing this frozen world.
The miserable situation along the way was far worse than that behind, and there were too many people falling down on the road, almost to the point where they could be seen everywhere.
On both sides of the relatively flat road opened by the government, corpses were piled up into walls.
Few people choose to bury them. Digging in the frozen ground is too laborious. Using a campfire to warm the ground is a way, but it delays time, and firewood is not everywhere.
In addition, if there is any benefit to freezing death, it is not easy to break out the plague.
In addition to various tragedies, Kane also saw the situation of "wealth equalization", which was no longer concealed, but happened in broad daylight.
Food, luggage, clothes, whatever you need, you can find better ones before you change them, and even if people around you see them, they still look indifferent, continue to take care of themselves, or greet their relatives to go north.
Various tents of strange shapes can be seen in the wilderness. Some tents have people resting in them, while others have emptied them, or simply died inside.
The wild wind raged across the wilderness, rolling up sugar-like fine ice and snow, forming flying snow dust on the surface, which looked like water waves, sweeping indiscriminately.
The tent tarpaulin that was torn by the strong wind is like a spirit-calling flag, hunting in the wind, and occasionally blankets or clothes can be seen flying in the wind and snow, as if there is a mischievous elf inside, on the ground, in the air, Rolling and playing wantonly.
The environment is harsh and the atmosphere is desolate. The Heavenly Train has become a bright color. More and more people know that it provides free thick soup, which is a rare delicacy.
Of course, 'After a bowl of thick soup, the strong will get stronger and go on the road, and the weak will go to heaven safely. ’ The saying was followed by widespread dissemination.
But even so, more and more people are still trying to drink this bowl of soup, and call it "the judgment of the kingdom of heaven".
The detailed statement is: If God wants me to continue to forge ahead in the world, then I will be in a better state after sleeping. If God wants to call me to heaven, then there is nothing to be afraid of, the suffering can finally be over.
The greater the suffering, the more developed the religion. When people realize the insignificance of manpower, it is easy to go to the other extreme, that is, faith in luck, faith in God, and faith in God.
Kane naturally doesn't believe in this, he only believes in himself.
The next day, he will let the puppets harvest those who died after drinking the soup. The power of the soul of life has been gathered, and it is enough to take it away.
For the next half a month, Kane spent his life and soul harvest, and the heavenly train didn't even need to travel north, as long as it was cruising horizontally in the vast frozen wilderness.
There is only one official migratory road, but 34 million Britons have traveled more than one road during their migration.
Most of those whose overall migration progress is lagging behind are vulnerable groups, which also makes them the most suitable group to be harvested.
A potential judgment standard, if it is above the standard line, then the thick soup is a tonic, if it is below the standard line, the deficiency is not replenished, and the thick soup is poison, just like taking an overdose of psychotropic drugs, in an extremely real dream die.
cruel? Kane felt a little. But on the other hand, he is very used to playing this kind of principled grim reaper.
In addition to collecting the power of life and soul, he also collects other materials, such as ingredients, cloth, metal essence, plant essence and so on.
He is preparing for the establishment of his own power, the power of life and soul, combined with the existing extraordinary resources, to continuously generate extraordinary items and strengthen the team.
For example, space storage. Low-level space storage has a low space folding factor, and is more fragile, unstable, and easily destroyed.
But it doesn't matter, through the external pendant, to enhance its security.
This allows his small team to have amazing storage capabilities.
Of course, the consumption of the free supply of bisque is also amazing.
Overall, it's been a complex transition through which Kane has grown richer and more powerful.
Just like this, sweeping back and forth like shearing sheep, he slowly moved northward. By the time he reached the northernmost tip of Scotland, it had been nearly four months since he arrived in this world.
At the beginning of February, even if there is no disaster, this is the coldest time of the year, and it is the cold period before the arrival of spring.
But this year is particularly terrifying, with an average temperature of minus 45 degrees, and a terrifying minus 60 degrees during the period from 3 am to the sun rising.
A cup of scalding boiling water, splashing it, can create an extremely effective ice fog and snow in the air, without water.
The saliva turns into ice before it hits the ground, and the snow is all in the shape of sand grains, not snow flakes, and it is not sticky, making it difficult to form snow balls.
The sun and wind turn the snow on the ground into a hard shell, and people under 45 kilograms can perform on the snow without a trace.
When the skin is directly exposed to the air, it will feel the sting like a blade. As for the freezing of eyebrows and hair, that is the basic state.
It can be said that the temperature is below minus 60 degrees, and if you wrap your feet with ten quilts, you will soon feel the cold feeling of standing barefoot in the snow.
Death, death, or death. At Durness Bay at the end of the Migration Avenue, he saw a grand death scene far worse than that of Lancaster.
He estimated that a 90-minute long shot would be enough. It was already a tragic scene that cannot be described in words. Even people who have seen too many dead and numb people will inevitably be aroused by the scene there.
Unlike Lancaster, most of those who died here looked pained and sad. They died in agony of despair.
In addition, crazy killings were also staged here.
Kane saw as many as thirty-seven power towers, but most of them had been destroyed.
He could imagine the situation at that time. When an extremely cold blizzard descends, the area radiated by the energy tower becomes the only source of survival.
Tents + campfires + heaters + warm clothing such as seal skins and bear skins, such equipment cannot survive the continuous severe cold.
Knowledgeable and experienced people, under the premise of this set of equipment, excavated snow caves in the leeward and survived the snowstorm. Most of the people, in order to survive, compete for the qualifications within the thermal radiation range of the energy tower.
If death is to be inevitable, then order must collapse, and machine guns cannot stop a raging crowd.
Countless people were shot and killed, and countless people died of trampling and other situations during the riots. No one in the army survived. They were bitten to death, trampled to death, beaten to death, or even torn to pieces by the angry crowd.
There are too many refugees, the effect of the surging tide is like the sea of zombies in {World War Z}, invincible, and then everything will be destroyed like a flood.
The super riot, Kane estimated, killed millions of people here.
It's like the beheading of the sword of fate. After this sword, the population structure of Britain has undergone tremendous changes. Tragedy like that, and there are two other places, both by the sea), it can be said that the largest bottom population in the UK has basically been exhausted.
More than 20 million people have died in this extreme cold crisis. Excluding the millions of people who did not choose to go north to seek refuge, but to find other ways, the number of people who actually successfully went north is less than 5 million.
Putting aside emotional things and thinking calmly, with a population of 34 million, 5 million successfully fled north. It still makes sense to correspond to the technology, economy, and political-system-system of this era. After all, not all countries are like flower growers, who experience a large population migration (Spring Festival) every year.
"It's a pity! Obviously, the standard of the thick soup can be raised by one or two grades!"...
