Chapter 87 A Big River
While Song Zhenghe and the others were busy contacting people and preparing to execute the interference plan, during the mission, Rose, Christina and I encountered the biggest trouble in history on this ice continent.
"Oh...this is really...a big trouble!" Zhenhong sighed exaggeratedly as he looked at the huge crack in front of him that was comparable to the Yangtze River's estuary.
In fact, the thing in front of us is not normally very dangerous. It is just a piece of water, and its width is not very large, only about 2,500 to 3,000 meters. Although there are not many rivers of this width, it is not difficult to cross, especially for advanced players like us. If we were in other places, we could find at least ten ways to get through this place easily, but here, everything went wrong.
First of all, this is the inland area of the Ice Continent, so you can't find a boat here. Since this place is usually frozen, there is no liquid water at all, so there is no need for a boat at all. In fact, all the ships on the Ice Continent are sea ships, mainly used to sail along the sea area surrounding the Ice Continent, or to transport supplies to and from other continents. Anyway, they will not and cannot enter the interior of the continent, because there are neither rivers nor lakes in this ice continent.
What? You ask, since there are no rivers and lakes, what is going on in front of us?
In fact, the river in front of us did not exist a few minutes ago. However, just a few minutes ago, we encountered a monster living on the ice, and then this thing was suppressed by us in a battle with us. When he was about to die in the end, he used a very strange attack method to get something. It uses a special vibration organ on its body to emit an ultra-high-frequency shock wave. This sound is not harsh. In fact, we cannot hear sounds at this frequency at all. However, although this sound cannot be heard by our ears, it does exist, and its vibration frequency can just affect the vibration frequency of the ice layer. So the final effect of this thing is to create a large river with a width of two to three kilometers in front of us, and the more terrible problem is that the length of both sides of this river is very exaggerated, at least we have not found how far it extends. long.
After the monster used this directional sound wave weapon to crack the ice, he immediately turned around and ran away, and then quickly disappeared on the ice, leaving only the river lying in front of us.
certainly. Can't find the boat. In fact, there are other ways. Normally, if the road is blocked by water, the only way you can consider passing through is by boat, which is a bridge. But the river in front of me has just been formed. So don’t think about the bridge. And besides the bridge. You can also consider swimming from the surface, or simply diving under the water.
However, none of the above methods are feasible.
This is the ice continent. The temperature is very low, and the river in front of you is actually a sea. Its freezing point is very low, which means that although it is liquid, the temperature is actually below zero, and it is gradually freezing. If we go into the water, because we will continue to float and sink on the surface and under the water, the sea water will freeze on our body surface and cover it layer by layer, and we will soon turn into a huge ice lump and completely Frozen. Therefore, even if our armor can ensure that we will not be frozen to death by low temperatures, going into the water is absolutely stupid.
Of course, if we keep diving and don't surface, the temperature under the water will be higher than on the surface, so it won't freeze. However, there is also a problem here, that is, if we are under the water, the water will freeze quickly, and then we will be trapped under the ice, which is more dangerous.
In fact, besides swimming there, flying there is also a good option. However, the environment here is really crazy. There are strong winds above level 12 blowing on the ground all the time. If you don't use special equipment to fix yourself on the ice, even ordinary cars will be easily blown away. Only heavy vehicles like tanks can be blown away on the ice. It's a safe place to drive. Of course, we don't have tanks, but we do have steel claws. Although the steel claw is not as heavy as a tank, the weight of this guy is also very exaggerated. In order to adapt to the deep sea environment, the steel claw's body is very dense and can withstand the pressure of deep water. The advantage of this high density is that it has greater self-weight and a smaller wind surface. Moreover, the low body of the steel claw also conforms to the hydrodynamic structure. Although this structure evolved for rapid movement underwater, the resistance in the air is not too high. In addition, the twelve intermittent sharp spikes of the tentacles on the north side of the steel claw can be easily inserted into the ice, firmly fixing itself like a ground anchor.
However, although we easily resisted the level 12 typhoon here with the help of steel claws, flying across this river became a dream, because the level 12 typhoon on the ground was actually the most stable condition here. After tying the flying bird with the dragon's tendon rope, let him go up to the sky for a practical test. The higher the place goes, the stronger the wind becomes. Even if the flying bird is not brought with him and the supersonic assault mode is turned on, it is just shaking. It flew to a height of more than 300 meters and completely lost control. If he had people with him, I doubt he would be able to fly at all. In this kind of strong wind that is comparable to storm magic, flying is tantamount to suicide, so it is impossible for us to fly over.
After removing the above methods, the most reliable method among the remaining methods is one method - etc.
Due to the extreme climate of this place, although a large groove has opened in the ice, it is also freezing rapidly. As long as we were willing to wait here for half an hour, there would be enough ice below to allow us to pass safely. And if we are willing to wait for a day, this gap may be filled by itself.
This method can be said to be the safest, safest and most reliable method, but the problem is that we don’t have time now. Outside, Song Zhenghe and the others were waiting for us to help, but if we waited here for half an hour, it would be an extra half hour. But what we lack most now is time, so we have no intention of waiting any longer. Of course, if you really can't get through it, you'll have to wait.
"Does any of you have any good ideas now?" I asked, looking around.
Christina asked: "Can't your Night Shadow fly close to the ground? Can you use it to take us there?"
"You said Yeying flies close to the ground. He can't steady his body in such a strong wind!"
"Then what should we do? We can't really be blocked by a river, right? Waiting for half an hour will give Nobunaga another half an hour of opportunity, which is very detrimental to us!" (To be continued...)
