The hurricane has weakened, but it has not completely disappeared. Among the jagged steel wreckage, the violent airflow still whistles sharply. , a small team of more than 20 people is struggling forward.
"It's really too early to come out now. Will the wind suddenly pick up again?" The person who spoke was a short man, just like most of the people in the team. Resist the unbearably cold air around. Of course, this outfit makes it difficult to walk in the strong wind, and there is a danger of being blown away. Well accepted for the price.
And before departure, everyone in the team had already made preparations, and the corners of the cotton-padded clothes were tied tightly to the body by others to prevent sudden strong winds or being caught by the steel wreckage on the side of the road. In the absence of professional protective clothing and special vehicles, this somewhat mountainous outfit can be regarded as the wisdom of the people at the bottom.
"Wait for the wind to stop? It will take several days for the wind to stop completely. By then, everyone will freeze to death and starve to death under the cliff." Walking at the front of the team was a tall and strong figure, also wrapped in thick Under the cotton coat, look at this guy, listen to this loud voice, there is no doubt that this is the prestigious Action Patek in Condenser Town "Didn't you listen to that scientist, the next twenty-four hours is the most stable time, if The support from Dacheng or other places really came, we can only take advantage of these 24 hours to go out and ask for help... Ah, bah bah, I just poured this damn dirty ice into my mouth!" Tie Keyi accidentally swallowed it head-on A large mouthful of loose ice crystals frozen from dirty water immediately cursed loudly, and then continued: "If there is rescue, they will first go to the town to find survivors, and we have to wait there for at least twenty hours!" Will the rescuers really come?" Another person in the team asked loudly, the strong wind blowing in front of him made him have to use his loudest voice to transmit his words.
"Don't ask me, ask those fierce people behind, they are from the big city, they said there is a rescue team!"
Tie Ke said loudly, turning his head to look in our direction, "I said, you are so strong! I just saw you wearing those clothes and walked outside. I thought you were all going to die. I heard that the senior from Dacheng Cultivators have used ancient machines to strengthen their bodies, it seems that this is true, but I didn’t expect such a young child to... Ah, bah bah! This damn dirty ice!"
As soon as Tie Ke was halfway through his words, his face was smeared with ice again, but he didn't realize that he was actually facing the wind when he was smeared. his face.
My sister said quietly: "Before Pandora decides to kill him, I have to let this big mouth be quiet for a while." I smiled and turned to look around at the people around me.
Just like the usual style of the first family, we will follow up in any situation where there is excitement or even a little thing to get involved, so a large group of people came out with Tieke this time. Obviously, no matter what Wherever we go, our group of guys who are like outings will always be a bunch of weirdos in the tense atmosphere around us. Even if my sister and I try to pretend to be a doomsday survival attitude, we can't stop Bingtis from making noise all the way and Viska Digging all the way... .
After Barnard got the news from Sandora that Dacheng had dispatched the nearest church to search and rescue the survivors, he decided to send a group of people back to the town to wait for the search and rescue team, while Tek led the youngest force in the town. A strong group of people formed this death squad. It is really a death squad. Although the wind has weakened to the extent that travel is allowed, the road from the cliff to the town is not so easy. The most indispensable thing on the metal wreckage that can be seen everywhere is Deadly edges and corners, these edges and corners are harmless in normal times, but in the current environment where you can't reach your fingers and there is a storm and snow all around, it may be dangerous at any time.
The Condenser Town Death Squad led by Teke is fully armed. Not only is it wrapped in a heavy cotton coat to keep out the cold, but it also wears a smock woven with metal wires that they only wear when working in the depths of the metal station. Or when stepping on the ice and slipping, prevent the surrounding metal spikes from causing huge damage to yourself.
In this comparison, the few of us are bright. I just wear single clothes and trousers, and I dare not change the top, because Ding Dang thinks that the pocket size of this dress is better, and my elder sister and Miss Lin are both elegant long skirts. , looks like a princess, but it doesn’t match the cold wind howling around. Qianqian and Yuzi are even wearing short skirts. Li Mercury Lamp is the only one who looks quite warm, because her favorite black dress has a lot of huā... ,
Bingtis is still wearing the gorgeous black evening dress that looks like a waste of money when she wears it. Monina is wearing a black dress. She looks as if she is going to fight with someone on the top of the Forbidden City. Lin is the coolest among us. Sleeved waistcoat + short skirt + sandals, the rough skin and thick flesh of the dragon physique made her have no concept of adapting to the environment at all, and it would be no violation to throw this outfit intact on the beach in Hawaii. There are two other men, one is Uncle Kenser and the other is Ilsen. The former wears the same robe as the Arabs in the seven or eight gale, wishing that his whole body and beard are flying around together, and the latter is dressed all over his body The golden light heavy armor has already been covered with a layer of ice.
Actually, I'm too embarrassed to mention them, especially Ilsen, who is like a tin can. He has been wearing that outfit since he came to the town, because of his silly and stupid outfit and tens of millions of years of caring for his sister. The big brother Halo, he is about to be named the most popular friend of the year in Condenser Town, and everyone thinks he is a people's artist.
Better than Kenther, the melancholy uncle is followed by a group of even more melancholy aunts. With these guys with such distinctive personalities everywhere, my sister and I can’t keep a low profile even if we want to. Tek, who was walking in the strong wind, looked at us like he was looking at Superman—fortunately, there really are Superman in this world. It is said that those "church members" who have the most ancient machines...have body strengthening technology, although this kind of Physical strengthening should be different from ours, but Tieke's own brain power has saved us a lot of trouble.
"As expected of a person from a big city." Tie Ke pressed the hood on his head with one hand, and grabbed the huge powerful spotlight with the other hand. He took the time to turn his head and look at us enviously, "Your magical things are my life. I’ve never seen it before.” I could only hehe.
The irregular winds in winter seriously slowed down the speed of the team. The distance of one kilometer is too far for ordinary people. Due to the weakening of the wind, there are no deadly metal fragments in the air, and they are replaced by dirty ice crystals and freezing rain. People's hair and eyebrows began to freeze and their breathing became heavier. Even Tek gradually stopped talking, saving his energy and continuing on his way. The road is very difficult, not only because of the strong wind, but also because the steel wreckage is covered with a thick layer of ice. The wind tunnel effect caused by the falling cold air mass not only brings storms, but also the world's The first blizzard.
I confiscated the skates from Qianqian's hand for the third time, and this girl's mind started to get out of control again.
"You see, my concubine said before that they deserve high marks." Bingtis suddenly touched my arm lightly.
I thought about it and still felt a little weird: "Why do I feel that we just do nothing and watch them suffer, and feel so guilty?"
"This is not just watching with cold eyes,,, Bingtis's blood-red eyes shimmer with a glimmer of light "Gods rarely look at mortals with cold eyes, even if we don't take action, we will go forward with them like this now" Don't you notice? , in this difficult journey, God is walking with them. This situation has appeared in many religious works.
I was taken aback suddenly.
Bingtis glanced at me quietly, and said in a low voice:... The white-robed prophet Gerda led his people to trek on the ice field, his feet were bloody, and the pagan asked him: Look, your feet are bleeding. Where is the Lord? , the Prophet said: The Lord is behind me, walking the same way with me. , This passage is from the "Mohensha Sutra", which is another world's bible, and there are similar narratives in other myths and stories. Why do you think many classics describing ancient prophets focus on "God Walking with the believers who have been tested, what about this kind of thing?" I opened my mouth and looked at the mortals in heavy clothes who were struggling forward in the snowstorm and the gods who followed silently not far behind them. In the end, the corners of his lips twitched: "Don't tell me this is the most classic scene in mythology... that's how it came about?" Si's voice echoed in the spiritual connection, "Actually, many myths seem to be the same in our position. Students have to take exams, and the invigilator follows them all the way. The words in the Bible are "God walks with me." Actually, God is there Give you a score. It’s like the ice field trek in "Mohensha Classic". The white-robed prophet is actually just a fisherman who goes fishing on the ice lake. Score the concubine and followed all the way, turning your face away will be a test of God." I felt a burst of dumbfounding feelings welling up in my heart, so I could only shrug my shoulders: "Then today's scene will not be the same in thousands of years. Will it be turned into a watercolor and painted on a church roof?"
Bingtis glanced at me silently, and said: "It is possible, and there will definitely be images of you in it. But there is nothing to be happy about. It was painted like a silly B..."
I sweated profusely, and thought for a while that maybe a few years later, there might really be such a group of monks preaching the Gospels of the Last Days in the church, and named today’s 1-kilometer blizzard road “Trial Journey” to talk about people in white robes. The Prophet Tek and the Twelve Apostles braved the darkness and storms that God tested them on, followed by a group of gods wearing nlke and Louisville stools. At the end, a sentence must be added: In the difficult journey, God is always with them exist…
"I understand you." My sister said to Bingtis with a particularly moving face.
"That's right." The rogue goddess sighed, "When I was in the world under my jurisdiction, I once saw a group of primitive people being chased and killed by mutated wild beasts, and drove those wild beasts away with spears, but I went back to see it 20,000 years later. , unexpectedly discovered that the group of primitive people built statues holding fire sticks on every planet within ten light years. The apotheosis and mythology are such ridiculous things." "Here! We are here! Ahead! The last corner!" At this moment, a shout from the front of the team interrupted the discussion between Bingtis and I about the phenomenon of apotheosis, and everyone's emotions were immediately mobilized, as if they were moving forward with difficulty. As if all the exhausted physical strength returned in an instant, Tie Ke led his team members to run forward.
Five or six bright light beams danced in the dark blizzard, illuminating the road ahead covered with crushed ice and metal scraps, and the journey finally reached the end... let everyone feel refreshed.
Even though the distance was just over a kilometer, it wasn't an easy kilometer to trek through blizzards and plains of frozen metal, so when I finally rounded the last corner, behind that giant condenser and around town, Many people sat down, and then raised the spotlights in their hands to shine in the direction of their original homes.
Nothing.
The former condenser town, on the giant condenser covered by metal sheds and living cabins, is now empty, and there is no scenery of the old town at all.
We have known the bad news for a long time, and now we can only sigh sadly, while the little people around
The residents of the town suddenly fell into a terrible silence. A moment ago, many of them were probably still fantasizing about finally returning home and resting for a few hours in the familiar and warm huts. Everyone wakes up.
The so-called disaster will not end so simply.
"Zhenduo... gone?"
A small townsman sat on the ground in spite of the icy debris, muttering to himself as he looked at the unrecognizable town.
Not to mention the ruins, the old condenser town now has no tiles left. Except for some broken metal fragments, everything in the town has disappeared. The living module of the hurricane has been swept away by the hurricane as a whole and flew to an unknown place. What is left for us is a huge, bare, round alloy floor with scattered fragments and pieces that have not been blown away by the hurricane. Nailed iron stakes on the ground.
"Stand up, stand up!" Teke suddenly yelled loudly, kicking up those townspeople who were sitting down on the ground." "If you don't want to die, don't sit on the ground in the snowstorm! Look what you look like! Are you here waiting to go home and sleep? "
"But the town..." someone whispered.
"Town, you fucking thought of it now!" Tek suddenly yelled, "This kind of hurricane, the town can't stand it from the beginning! Idiots should have thought of this long ago! We should be lucky now, if we didn't run away I'm afraid, now we are torn to pieces like those houses, little hammer, you lead everyone to find a shelter from the wind, Pope, come with me, we have to fix the spotlights and rescue devices on the high platform, If you miss the search and rescue team, you will die."
The townspeople, who were still immersed in shock and pain, woke up like a dream and realized that the most important thing now is to save their lives rather than sentimentality, so they took action one after another, looking for the nearest shelter from the wind or fixing the signal lights and transmitters for distress— The most important of these is the former. The transmitter is a broken item picked up from a garbage dump, and its timing is out of order, and its signal attenuation is serious. The flashlight in the sky is worth more than nothing.
The surrounding area of the town has been completely changed. Not only are the buildings in the town gone, but even some nearby metal accumulation points have been blown away and turned into sharp fragments covering the ground. The remaining metal leaves rattled, and the dilapidated small
The town was at least a home, but right now, it was nothing more than a ruin within a ruin.
The man nicknamed Little Hammer was that short man, a strong townsman who looked less than 30 years old. Although he might look a little timid, he was unambiguous in the town to participate in such an operation. Soon he found a place suitable for shelter from the wind, a depression located under the giant condenser resistance plug (of course, the little hammer himself may not know what this alloy pillar is for), the space is still wide enough for everyone to hide in Inside, even us.
Some townspeople found some large metal plates nearby, which may have been part of the original wall of the town. When the hurricane swept through, these metal plates were blown into the heat dissipation grill next to the drag bolt for the first time and survived. , Little Hammer and a few young and middle-aged men tried to pull them out from the cooling grill to make a wall that could withstand the cold wind, but unfortunately everyone was exhausted, and these huge metal plates were firmly inserted into the grill under the action of the hurricane. Grille, pulling it out is far beyond human power.
but…
"boom!"
The muffled sound caused by metal deformation came from not far away, a thick alloy gate with a height of more than three meters suddenly popped out from the gap where it was stuck, and then floated steadily towards this side, the townspeople Looking at this strange scene in the dim light, they suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Damn it! The wall is floating by itself!"
I jumped on the side and shouted: "Didn't you see there is another person down here?"
Viska walked over carrying a metal plate several times her size, and threw it on the ground with a bang...
Then even more stunned things continued to happen. Pandora, Lilina, Viska, and even the little guy like Mercury Lamp, which was less than one meter, began to easily and happily carry those things that were pulled down by the joint efforts of several strong men. The metal plates that didn't move at all quickly piled up a lot of things next to the resistance bolts, and then Lin was responsible for inserting them into the ground to make a wall. The Dragon God girl made this job easier, just like sticking a toothpick to a watermelon. Just like plugging in the top, I pinch these huge alloy noise boards with two fingers and gently put them on the ground. With a bang sound, it is more than half a meter deep. It's as if the sheets of paper are glued together, and I can see that they have merged into one in the flames...
It is said that Lin can slowly squeeze a planet into a small bowl of neutron star matter with her hands, and now I almost believe it.
