Steel Steam and Flame

The team members climbed up the huge ancient pine tree, fixed their bodies on the branches with ropes, and began to step up time to rest. Not many insects come out for food in winter, and most of them are in hibernation. When they rest, they don’t need to make extra preparations.

The guard is Cassia and the captain. The hound matter did not give the whole team a good rest, and the surgeon's body became stronger. This time there was no round of whistle for consideration.

Cassia climbed up an old pine tree and took out a small telescope to observe the specific situation in the distance.

They are going to Xuefeng, and now they don't need a compass and map instructions at all, the destination is clearly standing on the right front. Obviously a huge mountain peak with dark old trees covering its foot. I heard that the original front base was built in the mountain, but the place where it was destroyed in the first place is facing away from them. Otherwise, you can see an obvious huge depression on the mountain at this time. It is far away from them, about two or three days away.

The next road became very smooth. Looking at the mountainside where it is currently located, there is only a flat valley in front of the foot of the mountain. The valley is full of dense old trees, extending to the snow peak.

At this time, Cassia took out a map for comparison, looking at it while recalling the knowledge of evil. In the valley ahead, there seems to be some swamps that do not see sunlight all the year round, and there will be unnecessary troubles when going forward. If the ground is blocked by heavy snow, it will be more difficult to rush.

The heavy snowfall has happened these days, and Cassia only hopes not to come too early. Even if you can't reach the foot of Xuefeng before it snows, it's good to meet other teams on the way. In the complex environment of the mountains, experienced veterans do not benefit much from dealing with surgeons. Unless there is an overwhelming advantage in quantity.

He also leaned on the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest for ten minutes. Since becoming a surgeon, Cassia's spirit has always been extremely vigorous and vigorous, and the only thing that feels a little tired is simple.

Six hours later, they wake up the other team members on time. The signal soldier looked at the communication machine again, and there was still noise. And because of the snow clouds hanging down from the sky, the sound increased a lot at this time.

The captain of the lieutenant used a tactical knife to carve a few secret marks on the trunk to ensure that as long as other teams pass by, they will be able to spot them and follow in their own team's footsteps. Then move on. At this time, the violent wind blowing in the mountains became smaller, but no one showed any happy expressions on their faces. Because this means that in the near future, a huge Blizzard may come at any time.

After eating simple food, a group of nineteen people slowly descended the mountainside with the sound of "rusty" rubbing against Pine leaves. When they reached the edge of the valley in front of them, large swaths of snowflakes fell crazily. It's no ordinary fluttering appearance, the snow flakes themselves are huge, they are not controlled by the wind at all with their extraordinary weight, they just fall straight from the sky like that. It seemed to be countless fragments after the sky was shattered, dumping on the ground without stopping.

In the first hour or two, because of the shelter of old trees, the snow could only occasionally fall in the gloomy woods. After that, the trunks of the ancient trees could not support the weight of the stacked snow. Large chunks of snow began to fall from the top of the ancient trees. After a while, the ground became a uniform white.

It was only an hour later that the snow had completely piled up. There was more than half a meter of snow, and the depths of the snow did not end at Cassia's waist. Fortunately, the field clothing this time has a waterproof function. Although their thermal insulation effect is a bit disadvantaged in such cold weather, the group of people who keep their body moving at any time have not had any obvious adverse reactions.

Everyone's faces were solemn, and the white breath they exhaled all became heavy and turned into hoarfrost on their eyebrows and forehead. Wearing a hat set to keep warm in the cold winter, the tightening position on the clothes is also tightly tightened to prevent excess heat from losing the body.

The temperature reached more than ten degrees below zero in a short period of time, and it was more difficult to move forward in the snow. They are still in the woods, and from time to time a large block of snow falls from the tree canopy, which can completely bury a person in an instant. This has also become a troublesome thing. The snow already has power, and you will feel a lot of pain when hitting the body.

The speed became unusually slow, and halfway through, he ran into a swamp hidden under the snow. The people walking in front were almost swallowed by the silt of the swamp, before they had condensed into frozen ground. The captain was on the side at the time and stretched out his hand to pull it out. Nothing happened to the man, but when he moved on, the man in front also had a piece of wood in his hand, which he used to explore the road while walking.

The speed dropped again, and the sky turned dark at this time. The dense forest ahead did not know how many swamps there were, and the captain did not dare to venture in the dark. The surgeon fell into the silt, and if there was no one around him to pull it, or there was nothing to support himself from the silt, the final result would be swallowed completely, and then suffocated to death more than an hour later.

There is still hope for survival. It is not that there is no bottom under the silt, if it sinks to the bottom, you can also struggle to walk to the edge of the swamp, and then climb up little by little. However, the weight and resistance of silt are much greater than pure water, and the probability of surviving in the end is close to zero.

The captain felt that the teammates around him could no longer support him. The physical exertion becomes more serious, and the severe cold forces them to consume more energy to maintain their body temperature. He couldn't get to Xuefeng in two days. The captain decided not to rush for time, but needed to ensure the basic combat effectiveness of his team at any time.

The direction of advancement was also changed to horizontal at this time, making it impossible to trace the trace. The heavy snow that has not stopped has completely destroyed them. They spent several hours walking to the foot of the mountains on the side of the valley, where there are many huge rocks that have been piled up all year round, and the snow is not as serious as in the woods.

A lot of time in advance to rest, Blizzard is a little smaller, but it is not suitable for ordinary people to fight hard. The wind is not too big, but except for Cassia and Captain Captain, there is no energy in the team.

So at the foot of the mountain, I was fortunate to find two huge blocks with a small distance between them. A small shelter was built between them, and the top was covered with cut trunks and pine leaves. The two sides were also tightly enclosed with branches to ensure that no light would leak out, and then Cassia and the others made a small fire with solid fuel to warm and rest on this cold winter night.

I burned it with a steel hat that has the function of an iron pot for a few days, and I drank it with hot water. With the dancing flames, he soon rested.

This time it was the turn of the whistle, and Cassia and the captain closed their eyes, just let out their perception to guard the surroundings.

Without knowing the specific time, Cassia judged by the biological clock in his body, and now it is probably less than three hours. There was still a small wind blowing outside, the blizzard did not stop, and there was the sound of snow falling in the quiet world. He has been in a semi-sleep state, and his perception has been radiating outside, alerting to the movement in the dark.

But he was awakened by something, it was a strange feeling, and his mind suddenly awoke from half asleep. Immediately fell silent to his own perception, Cassia did not notice any change, there was nothing outside except the wind and snow.

what happened? Just as he was thinking this way, his heart beat abruptly and violently, only then did he realize from his perception what was wrong. Because it was not something invading his perception, but something disappeared from his perception.

That was the heartbeat and breathing of all the other players except the captain. They are all dead.
