Chapter 335 Trek
Everyone has noticed that the first wave is the two biggest seeded teams in the Leidi City Division, Tianji Academy and Torrest Academy, followed by the A-level team, including Stoleg where Reeves is.
When the Tianjing team got off the car, it was already half a day later, and the other two C-level teams got off the car with them.
Instructor Lennon, the senior colonel who had scolded Casio at the station yesterday, was waiting for them outside the carriage.
"According to Tianxun's prompt, go to the respective designated coordinate positions. Someone there will provide you with mission items and give you further mission descriptions. Alright, let's go now!"
The cold-faced instructor didn't have any nonsense, and the railroad track left quickly, leaving three teams in this vast glacier.
Everyone opened Tianxun immediately, thinking that the so-called designated coordinates would be in a very distant place, or even deep into some restricted areas, but the result was obviously not. Although the coordinates of the three teams were different, they were far away from everyone. The location of the railway track is about forty or fifty miles away. According to the map, it does not set foot in any restricted area nearby.
"It seems that we all have different paths." After staying in the carriage for more than a day, everyone knew each other. The captain of one of the teams said with a smile, "Then let's part here. Good luck to everyone!"
I didn't feel it when I was sitting in the carriage before, but when I got out of the carriage, I could feel how harsh the cold wind from the Northland was.
This is a normal summer, but even in broad daylight, the temperature in the wilderness is still around minus a few degrees. The north wind blows fiercely, and the snowflakes mixed with ice crystals are blown on people's faces, as sharp as knives .
This area happened to be the fringe area when everyone looked at the map yesterday. I heard that it used to be a restricted area, and it was wiped out by Ivan the Terrible's family and turned into a wilderness.
However, mutant beasts are easy to eliminate, but the radiation situation cannot be changed. The surrounding radiation is quite serious, almost catching up to the level of ordinary C-level restricted areas. Now the radiation problem alone can cause some troubles for many people in the team, but the exhaustion of physical strength is unavoidable.
With Tianxun's navigation, everyone quickly found the coordinates marked for Team Tianjing.
It was in the valley of a snow-capped mountain, only a dozen miles away from the railway track where the train got off. A small tent was set up in the valley, and an instructor had already been waiting here.
"The goal of the mission is very simple. Determine the direction by yourself, and arrive at Leidi City within a month. As long as the entire team arrives with more than five people, it will be considered a success. Everything else will be considered a failure. There is no use for any reason." The instructor said coldly. As he spoke, he took out ten backpacks that had already been prepared: "All the survival equipment, food, and Tianxun you have on your body should be handed in. You can only carry the tactical backpacks we issued. In addition, you can keep your own weapon."
At the same time, he took out something like a small disc: "This is the marking badge as a team certificate. Every team has it. If you are in danger and want to give up the game, you can use the marking badge to call for help. Of course, that means giving up the game. If you want to make things easier, there is another way to get three additional badges. Combining four badges can form a small signal transmitter, Then you will be promoted immediately, and the organizing committee will automatically send someone to pick you up."
"Extra badges? Is this to encourage us to snatch other teams?" Colby asked.
The instructor's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at Colby like an idiot. Everyone also realized that this CHF was different. This was not only a physical test, but also a hunt.
Then Wang Zhong and others were driven away. This time, the Federation invested many such fighters to carry out the mission. The reason why it took so much trouble is not only for the depth of the test, but also to minimize the casualty rate. Send out a distress signal, you can rush to the rescue in the shortest time.
It's not that Wang Zhong and the others didn't consider following the railway track, but the problem is that if they follow the railway track, there will definitely be too little time. The organizing committee has already considered such a problem. It's another matter if the entire team is a speed type, anyway, Tianjing can't run past it.
There are many shortcuts, but obviously not all of them can be reached alive.
Everyone spread out a rather crude map in their backpacks, which was completely incomparable with Tianxun's detailed map, but now it has become their reliance. Survival in the wild, water, food, and mutant beasts will all become part of this test. The difficulty factor, but the real biggest threat comes from the participating teams. Those with a little strength may not want to reach it with their legs. Defeating other teams to snatch the badge is undoubtedly a more convenient way.
"I think we should choose to hunt badges." Looking at the distance on the map, Emily said.
Everyone looked sideways for a while, this is not what Xiao Ai Mi used to say, for the people in Tianjing, they didn't think about this issue at all, it would be good if they didn't get hunted.
Wang nodded emphatically, "It can be used as an alternative. Let's choose a route. If we meet a suitable one, we might as well make a move, but there's no need to look for it specifically."
"It may be very difficult to snatch the badges of other teams." Scarlett shook her head, holding the mission badges in her hand: "This badge is not made of any special material, it is easy to be destroyed, if the losing team is forced to Desperate, if you forcibly destroy the badge, it will be a waste of time, and this is the worst point."
"Indeed, not everyone can accept defeat calmly, and it is a shame to have their badge taken away." Lei Li also agrees with Scarlett's opinion. Even if they have this strength, it does not mean that the opponent will obediently send it up. It's a big deal.
Although the competition did not limit the means, the entire CHF has a basic principle, that is, no intentional killing is allowed, and ordinary threats seem very pale in this situation.
Wang Zhong didn't deny it, but from the expressions of Grai and Emily, it could be seen that he didn't take it seriously, because there are many ways to prevent the opponent from destroying it too late. It can only be said that the internal level of the Tianjing team is still very different, but from the character In fact, Wang Zhong also felt that there was no need to take the initiative to hunt other team badges.
Scarlett had a fairly detailed understanding of the surroundings of Leidi City. Although the map was simple, it was enough for her to make a judgment. It must be impossible to follow the railway line. In this way, Scarlett still found three roads. Everyone I chose a more compromised path and set off happily.
However, Scarlett is definitely not the only one who memorizes the map. Similarly, in this case, there are not a few who can make such a judgment. A battle to the destination has begun.
……………………
Choose to hurry, but this journey is undoubtedly much more difficult than everyone imagined.
First of all, the distance is the distance. At the beginning, it was estimated that it would be possible to arrive within 30 days with only the normal itinerary, but that was the most standard route designed completely according to the map. But in fact, there is no so-called so-called in the Beichuan Ice Field. 'Standard route' to speak of.
The geographical environment in this area is too complicated. Yesterday it was a canyon, maybe an avalanche on the mountain wall could block this place into a dead end in the blink of an eye. Yesterday it was a flat road on the plain, maybe a storm blew on the ground. The solid ice can reveal the icy river bed or swamp below overnight.
Especially when passing a huge river several miles wide, there used to be a suspension bridge, but it has been damaged by someone at this time. Looking at the damaged place, it is obvious that it was forcibly destroyed half a day or a day ago at most. It must be the team that passed the bridge in front and directly destroyed the suspension bridge, leaving the others behind with nowhere to go. Obviously, everyone in Tianjing still underestimated the shamelessness of other teams.
Facing the rushing river below, Wang Zhong had to take everyone to a detour to the north side, and just here was a full delay of nearly a day.
These are just the environment.
The entire Beichuan is covered with snow, and most of the snow on the ground can be submerged up to knee height. In some special places, the snow cover can even reach about two meters, and the forward speed is one foot deep and one foot shallow. Obviously, it cannot be compared with the normal running time. Even in the most common glacier area, the slippery ice surface makes it difficult to run. The wilder it is, the harsher and more extreme the environment is. This is also the current mainstream situation on the earth. It is also completely irreversible.
Don't even think about the normal itinerary, the Tianjing team is also running at full speed and exerting all their energy, showing a desperate attitude and rushing on the road.
call……
The cold north wind blew, and there was a little fire in the cave, and there was a bloody smell.
In the light of the fire, Wang Zhong was using a knife to clean up a huge ice-field stabbing armor. This kind of mutant beast looks a bit like a pangolin, but it is much bigger than a pangolin. The whole animal weighs about four to five hundred catties. This cave It is its lair.
Beside the fire, all the other members of Team Tianjing were hurrying to sleep. A few girls were huddled inside the cave, wrapped in thin but very warm military quilts, and Gray and Colby leaned against the fire. Xiaomei and Barron are also beside her, her sleeping position is a bit exaggerated, with a super big character, snoring loudly.
Normally, under such a loud snoring, the girls over there would never be able to fall asleep, but now they are used to it, or they are too tired, and they can no longer open their eyes just after lying down. Ma Dong had the foresight to follow everyone into the train instead of pretending to be forceful, but chose to go directly to Leidi City, and the team that was in the same carriage as Tianjing before, together with a timid female team leader who did not participate in the battle, were all driven away together. Get off the car, it is estimated that it will definitely become a drag on the team.
This is already the sixth day of entering the ice field, and we only entered the Talma Mountains yesterday. During these six days, everyone has gone through several periods of physical fatigue, and has gone from the excitement at the beginning to complete silence. As the captain , Wang Zhong has been observing the physical condition of the team members. He, Grey, and Emily are completely fine. Colby, Lei Li, and Barron are a bit struggling but can bear it. Scarlett, Mira Mi and Heiman were a little bit overwhelmed. Girls were at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength. This kind of torturous long-distance trek was the biggest test for them, but they could also feel that the effect of this kind of rush exercise was completely different. If they could really persevere Arriving at Thunder Emperor City at the end was definitely a spiritual and physical baptism for them.
In the past few days, they hardly slept well. Wang Zhong also felt that everyone needed to take a rest, so that they could not really collapse. He and Grai would take turns to guard against them. According to the situation of the broken bridge, the road ahead might not be optimistic. If he were to hunt, he would definitely choose the time when the big teams were tired and relaxed, and the time for this journey would be almost the same.
Today was also a good day. I just saw a cave that can shelter from the wind and snow. I wanted everyone to relax and rest, but I didn’t expect this cave to be the lair of an ice field spike. When it was wiped into the cave, Barron almost died. Getting pierced in the ass by this guy's spikes.
The third-level mutant beast, this is a big meal delivered to the door. Wang Zhong took all the work of night watch and barbecue, and the others took every time to rest and recover.
A tent was used to block the cold wind at the entrance of the cave, and the fire made a crackling sound, which greatly increased the temperature in the cave. The smell of barbecue gradually permeated the cave, and Barron, who was sleeping next to him, was drooling in his dream .
"Senior, you should also go to rest for a while." Grai didn't know when he woke up, and walked over quietly: "There are still more than two hours before dawn."
"It's okay." Wang Zhong smiled. Fatigue is such a thing. The stronger the mental will or the soul, the more he can persist in overcoming it. When other people in the team can't bear it, he completely treats it as a kind of self-defense. temper.
Grai nodded and sat by the fire. The stronger the person, the stronger the recovery ability. It can be seen that Grai has fully recovered. With him, Wang Zhong is at least half relaxed. Emily is still resting, and her will is very strong. Being strong doesn't mean her body doesn't need to rest.
Suddenly, the badge in Wang Zhong's arms beeped, followed by the mechanical beep: Nuonuoan Academy, lost contact, eliminated.
The badge will remind all teams about being eliminated. I have heard it five times before, but the information given by the badge is 'XXX Academy, give up, eliminate'. In this way, 'Give up' is easy to understand, and it must be pressed on the badge There are not many mutant beasts on the glaciers in this area, and they are all low-level, which will not pose a fatal threat. It is easier to deal with solitary ones like Icefield Spikes, but if you occasionally encounter third- and fourth-level The main herd of mutated beasts will play the role of scouts. Before Tianjing, they encountered a pack of fourth-tier direwolves. Fortunately, Emily, the pathfinder, discovered it in advance, and everyone went around Well, the role of scouts is very important. If it was Emily in the past, she was not so reliable. In the past few days, everyone has been admiring this little girl, and at the same time, they can only admire it. The inheritance of the Assassin family is really different. It can grow like this in just a few months, no wonder the Federation is still under the rule of the big family.
(Dear friends, happy weekend, suddenly found out that Chinese New Year is coming soon...)
