Chapter 276: Running out of Firewood
Chapter 276: Running out of Firewood
Su Ming and his companions trudged forward in the snow, and suddenly several days had passed.
For other players, this seems to be a journey with no end in sight.
The world before my eyes is nothing but white.
The only change is that sometimes it snows, sometimes it is light snow, and sometimes it is a heavy snowstorm.
The most uncomfortable weather is blizzard mixed with strong winds. Even if they are wrapped tightly, the strong wind can still cut them through their clothes like a blunt knife.
The mountain top that symbolizes the end point is always hanging in the distant sky, out of reach. The words "running to the mountain will kill the horse" are very apt to describe their current situation.
However, what they carry on their shoulders is gradually becoming less and less.
This allows them to be relatively physically relaxed as they move forward.
But their mood became heavier and heavier, because the weight that was consumed was the firewood they carried.
In such an environment, if the firewood was used up, they would not be able to keep warm while camping and resting, which would be a disaster.
In the middle, they encountered heavy fog twice.
Both times of heavy fog lasted for a very short time, one lasted two hours and the other only half an hour.
After that, there are more horror props to pick up, and they are generally of good quality.
For players, this kind of occasional reward is a shot in the arm.
It supports them to keep moving forward despite the wind and snow.
A few more days passed.
The fog came again, and the players, now experienced, began to set up camp in an orderly manner.
Soon, the big red tent was erected in the snow.
After lighting the bonfire, Zhan Shen and Zhang Tieshu counted the remaining firewood and said, "Even if we save some of it, the remaining firewood will only be enough to last for one day and one night."
The atmosphere in the tent became solemn.
If the current fog can pass quickly, the remaining firewood will only be enough for about three camping and rest periods.
Can they reach the top of the mountain in such a short time?
Given the current situation, this is obviously impossible.
Zhang Tieshu asked Su Ming: "Boss, have you already come up with a solution?"
"How far are we from the top of the mountain?"
Compared with the worries of other players, Su Ming seemed much calmer. He looked confident and seemed to have anticipated the situation. However, he could not clearly tell how far away the mountain was.
However, they couldn't help asking again and again how far it was to the top of the mountain.
After knowing this, you will have some idea in your mind and will not be without a goal at all.
Su Ming placed the mysterious egg next to the campfire and said, "Don't panic. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain."
"According to my observation, there should be a forest farm nearby. After the fog is over, we will go there to replenish our wood supplies."
Hearing this, the players all breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great! I hope our firewood will last until the forest farm."
"I really admire Boss Su Ming. He can still tell where he is in this environment."
"I can no longer tell the directions. I don't even know which direction I came from."
"Me too. In the real world, my sense of direction is very accurate and I have never lost my way. But when I got here, it completely failed."
"There's not even a landmark building here, it's all snow, it would be strange if I didn't get lost."...
Su Ming closed his eyes and listened to other players talking and chatting, and his nerves gradually relaxed.
Although his physique was the strongest among the players, it was still not comfortable for him to walk all the way in the ice and snow.
Fortunately, I brought other players with me, otherwise if I were walking in the snow alone, I would be bored to death.
After all, humans are social animals. If they don't talk to others or communicate for several months, they will feel very uncomfortable.
Outside the tent, the air was completely filled with fog.
This time, it was even more lively outside the tent, with continuous footsteps, various shouts that they couldn't understand, and the sound of metal colliding.
Dangdangdang——
Near the tent, you can see several warriors wearing armor and holding long swords, fighting each other, and every move is deadly.
They can use a light blue energy to launch attacks similar to sword energy. When the sword energy cuts on flesh, blood sprays out, and when it hits armor, it makes a loud, sharp sound.
The players watched intently.
Zhan Shen felt his own insignificance from their fighting power. The fighting power of any one of them was greater than his.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the army of a certain country? The fighting power is too strong. Any soldier has extraordinary fighting power."
"And judging from the sounds coming from all around, there are definitely quite a few people fighting here. This is too terrifying!"
He subconsciously compared the strength of the Blue Star players with theirs, and found that there was no comparison at all. Even if all the elite players from Blue Star were gathered together, they probably would not be qualified to fight against either side.
Su Ming explained: "This is a battle between the elite ace troops of the Northern Ice Empire and the elite ace troops of the Southern Ice Empire."
"These two empires have existed for countless years and have a deep foundation. They both have several demigod-level beings."
"However, we are hiding in the tent and will not have any contact with them. No matter how strong they are, they have nothing to do with us."
He had tried to intervene in this battle in the CD game, but there was no way he could participate. Both the North Ice Empire and the South Ice Empire were quite xenophobic, and he could not speak the same language as the other side. If he showed up, he would be attacked by both sides.
Later, he simply gave up this branch line and stopped participating in it.
It can be expected that if the correct method can be found, some benefits should be obtained here, but he does not have so much time to try again and again in the CD game.
This fog lasted much longer than usual.
The battle outside has not yet ended. From time to time, warriors will come to the front of the tent and give the players a close-up combat show.
Just like that, a day and a night passed, and it still hadn't dispersed.
The players became anxious as they watched the firewood being consumed bit by bit until it was almost gone.
Even after the firewood was completely consumed, the fog remained.
The temperature in the tent has begun to slowly decline.
Su Ming: "We can only hold on for a while until the fog clears."
"Everyone, eat something hot and try not to lose body temperature too quickly."
Fortunately, he has the Octopus Gourmet Magic Mirror, so food supply is not a problem.
If we could get a similar horror prop in advance that could provide a large amount of firewood, we wouldn't have to worry about firewood shortage now.
Props like that in other copies are like useless things and have no effect.
But in the current situation, it is quite appropriate.
