Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 272 Accompanied to the end of the world (4.2k)

The snowmobile stopped in front of a huge ice chasm.

The violent wind swept the snowflakes across the ice rift valley, making a strange sound like the roar of a demon. ,

Lu Mingfei stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the snowmobile buzzed for a long time but failed to start again.

It is like a ferocious beast that has been drained of energy, whistling in a low voice but unable to start again.

"Out of fuel."

Seeing that the red pointer on the oil dial was almost back to zero, Lu Mingfei frowned.

The further they walked, the more desolate they became, and there were no buildings like gas stations, but they found two cold-proof bases in the middle, which were probably left by the Soviet scientific expedition team in the early years.

Relying on the remaining diesel in the base, they continued to advance for another two days, and now they couldn't even find the cold-proof base.

Going against the wind still consumes too much fuel in the motorcycle, and Siberia is indeed not a prosperous place, so it is very difficult to find a supply station.

The compressed food stored in the motorcycle and backpack is enough to consume for a few days.

But they couldn't move without fuel, especially in such a snowy place.

Lu Mingfei looked at the endless glaciers and snow fields and sighed in his heart.

He hated the snow field very much in his early years. Even if the weather is bad in the ghost place, the subspecies and ancient dragons living in it are more difficult to deal with each other.

Small snow wipers wipe the windshield at top speed, but after a few seconds the cleared areas are covered in snow again.

Mai Shutoku looked at the ice rift valley ahead through the windshield, also frowning.

"There is this ice rift valley on the map, and the location marked in red is probably the supply point. But we don't have a GPS positioning device, so we may have deviated from the route. Otherwise, according to the arrangement of that person, we must have seen the supply point."

After all, a motorcycle is not a hovercraft or a helicopter, and there is not enough space on it to install a navigation system.

Fortunately, the two found a compass from the previous garage, at least for now they can still tell the difference between south, east and north.

"Beside the rift or at the end?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Beside the rift valley, the last supply point, we can reach that coordinate after refueling and driving about [-] kilometers." Mai Shutoku measured the parchment map with his fingers.

"Then even if we deviate from the route, it's not too far." Lu Mingfei said happily.

Then he asked: "How far is the last supply point from the coastline of the Arctic Ocean?"

"That coordinate is the coast of the Arctic Ocean?"

Lu Mingfei was silent for a few seconds, and said quietly: "A port, an abandoned port, is also... where I want to go."

Mai Tokuro nodded, but did not pursue further.

The map only has the border of Russia, and no other places are marked, but based on the location, it is speculated that the place is indeed very close to the Arctic Ocean.

But it was a huge area with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, she didn't dare to say it was on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, but Lu Mingfei was sure, there must be some secrets she didn't know.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei thought of an idea: "We can drag the fuel back from the next supply point."

Although snowmobiles are much larger than ordinary motorcycles, they only need to drive to the supply station a hundred miles away to refuel, which means they only need to move back to supply the motorcycle with enough fuel to travel [-] kilometers.

"Think about it, it's [-] kilometers, you want to brave the snowstorm to find a gas station with an unknown location [-] kilometers away, and then run back?" Mai Tokuku didn't agree with his idea.

Lu Mingfei said helplessly: "Then we can't walk hundreds of kilometers on our legs to reach our destination?"

"I'll go with you." Mai Toku put all the food and water stored in the motorcycle into the cold backpack, "As long as you find the next supply point, there will always be a new way."

This is pure nonsense. In this kind of weather, it is safest to drive with vehicles, and trekking in the snow is very dangerous even for mixed races.

The reason why Lu Mingfei was able to run for more than 100 kilometers with Jiude Mai on his back was purely due to his personal physique.

"Okay, if he dies, at least he can be buried with a companion, and if someone digs him out later, he won't be called a bachelor without a wife."

Lu Mingfei knew that no matter what, it was impossible for Jiu De Mai to stay here alone, so he simply picked up a pair of snow boots from the motorcycle and said half-jokingly.

The region where they are located is one of the coldest regions in the world, colder than the North Pole. The ultra-low temperature of nearly minus 70 degrees has been measured, ranking second in the world, second only to the research station deep in the Antarctic continent.

However, Lu Mingfei is not worried about Jiude Mai's bloodline and physique. This woman is often stronger than she looks.

The two of them were wrapped in heavy military cotton coats at the same time, which they found in the supply station before, and they specially put them in the trunk of the snowmobile.

The former Soviet-style military coat looks very bulky, but it is especially useful for fighting the cold. It is very similar to the cold-proof clothing issued by the guild in another world, ugly but practical.

Many years ago, in order to develop and transform Siberia, the Soviet Union designed this kind of cold-proof tool that is no less than the cold-proof clothing of the Antarctic scientific expedition team. Coupled with the spare skis on the snowmobile, it is really no problem to advance to the last supply station.

The two trekked away from a distance with one foot deep and the other shallow, and the wind and snow quickly engulfed their shadows.

……

In the large cabin of AA1, which was used as a gambling hall in the past, two people sat opposite each other at a card table, with an open bottle of whiskey in the middle.

The surrounding card tables were empty, and there were only these two people in the entire large cabin, which seemed very empty.

However, the lamps on each card table are on, dotted with dots, and you can’t see the edge at a glance, as if telling old stories that many people have sat here.

Just from this huge casino, it is enough to get a glimpse of the brilliance of AA1 when it was used as a gambling ship.

It's a pity that now it is more like a lonely stage after the music is over.

Caesar put the grenade upright on the corner of the gaming table, smiled, did not speak, but raised his glass to Chu Zihang.

"This is a high-explosive grenade produced in Germany during World War II. After pulling the string, it will explode in three seconds. We realized that when he pulled the string, about two seconds had passed, and it was too late to rush to rescue. But you still rushed Go up, why? You can't know in advance that this is a dud!"

"I wanted to save him, so I rushed up." Chu Zihang paused, "The man at the mouth of the well is his father."

He has rarely spoken since he got on the ship, and he always looks preoccupied.

In fact, Schneider didn't count his beloved apprentice in this mission, because of his relationship with Lu Mingfei and the issue of blood, the school board has defined him as a high-risk mixed race that needs semi-supervision.

It is not certain that one day he will be sent to an uninhabited island for brain surgery.

But Chu Zihang still applied to join the dragon slaying plan without hesitation, even if Susie and Lancelot of the Lionheart Society tried to persuade him to keep him, he did not give up.

The two sides fought fiercely, and finally the principal supported Chu Zihang to participate in this mission.

No one knew what he was doing, and neither did Caesar. He was slightly startled when he heard Chu Zihang say the reason, and realized that he had overlooked something.

It seems to have heard a rumor from a high-level school board member that Chu Zihang's father mysteriously participated in a mission related to the Arctic Ocean after his mysterious return, and then mysteriously disappeared again.

Could it be that he came to investigate this matter?

If it is true, then the disappearance of Chu Zihang's father may also be related to the Dragon King.Is it Leviathan?Or some other, more hidden king?
Caesar was so preoccupied that he didn't ask carefully, but turned the topic back to the wild boy.

"How did you know that the man at Jingkou was his father?"

"Human race, that child is an Inuit, and the man at the mouth of the well is also an Inuit." Chu Zihang said lightly, "The people who can endure the pain of freezing to death and desperately want to save, except Who else can have a biological child?"

……

Lu Mingfei looked up towards the end of the horizon.

He just guessed that it was the height of the horizon, because it was all white in all directions, up, down, left, and right, and it was a blessing in misfortune not to suffer from snow blindness.

But after walking for a long time, you still can't tell the difference between the sky and the ground.

Without a compass and a rift in the ice visible to the naked eye, they might indeed have lost their way, wandering and dying in the mirage of the snowfield.

"It's like the end of the world~" Mai Shutoku said with emotion, "If you don't experience it yourself, you really can't appreciate the miracle of nature."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

A lonely ruin standing on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, and those undead who may wait for them in the ruins.

When he thought of this, his mood was unusually calm, with a little anticipation and relief.

"It will be dark in half an hour, and we have to find a place to spend the night after dark," he said.

The sky has already darkened a lot. It was cloudy at dawn, and the road will be more difficult to walk after dark.

Moreover, the temperature at night is always much lower than during the day, and with the wind and snow, they need a sheltered place to stay overnight.

"Something's wrong!" Mai Tokuku seemed to have sensed something, and frowned.

Lu Mingfei just wanted to speed up his pace and hurry up before dark, but he was stunned before he walked too far. There were two deep marks on the ground that were run over by heavy vehicles, and the ice layer under the surface was completely covered. There were cracks.

This is obviously not a trace that a small vehicle can do.

As for guessing that there are zero of them, it is also impossible.

In such a violent snowy day, the traces of the vehicle would be buried in less than an hour.

This means that the vehicle has just passed by not long ago!
Mai Tokuro followed, also surprised.

"Is it the potato chip girls?"

"Impossible, they left several days earlier than us, and they should have reached the destination according to the speed, and we have been walking along the sides of the ice rift before, but we didn't find any supply stations.

Having said that, Lu Mingfei paused, the meaning in the words was self-evident.

Neither of them expected that the crisis would come so quickly.

Someone had arrived in this no-man's land far away in Siberia before them, and they might have blown up the gas station in advance, just to prevent Lu Mingfei and the others from moving forward.

Lu Mingfei didn't know who was one step ahead of them in the snowstorm.

Chaser at Kassel Academy?The team behind Bunin sent by the boss to monitor them?
Of course, it's most likely a competitor, someone trying to get to that coordinates ahead of them!
"What should we do now? Are we going to walk to that place?" Mai Jiude looked at Lu Mingfei, undecided.

She's been on many missions, but most of those missions have only one option - death or life.

The mission choices this time are too varied, and every choice seems to have a way out, but in fact it is a dead end.

At this time, she was a little indecisive.

Her original goal was to escort Lu Mingfei, but she could still quit at that time, after all, she was just a ninja who got paid to work.

It's just that after the nuclear explosion, she already regarded herself and Lu Mingfei as grasshoppers tied together by a thread.

If the fire burns the end of this thread, she is willing to die with Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei braved the wind and snow, and said expressionlessly: "Keep going, as long as they are human, they will camp when it is dark, so we can see the fire of the camp."

He sneered and stuck his ski poles in the snow.

"I thought it was lonely to bury the two of us in this place, but I didn't expect that there were people rushing to bury us before us."

Mai Tokuku instantly understood what he meant.

Lu Mingfei wanted to fight an eye for an eye.

After judging that the other party was not far away from them, he decided to find out the true face of Mount Lu.

If the other party is friendly, maybe you can get some supplies and vehicles; if the other party is not friendly, then kill the other party and take their supplies and vehicles.

Although it's not very moral to do so, how many people who are currently staying in this desolate land can talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?
The two moved forward at a faster speed, and correspondingly, the physical exertion would also intensify.

If they still can't find each other's trace after dark, it will definitely be bad for both of them.

However, as they walked forward, the rolling marks on the ground became clearer, which indicated that the group of people was getting closer and closer to them.

This is good news.

Mai Tokuro took off the Bobosa submachine gun from his shoulder while he was on his way.

The old guy from the last century is extremely stable in extremely cold weather, even if it is tens of degrees below zero, it will not jam. This is what she found in the counter of a certain gas station.

Now they are at a distance from each other, and they may encounter the enemy at will.

Such dense wind and snow blocked the sight again, and they didn't even know they bumped into each other head-on.

So things like thermal weapons, regardless of whether they work or not, if you encounter them, throw a shuttle of bullets there first, even if you are under attack, you can also deter your opponent.

But the expected enemy never appeared, and the rolling marks became more and more clear, as if the person in front knew their speed.

They are fast and he is fast, and they are slow and he is slow.

As time went by, the sun sank into the horizon and the temperature dropped sharply, but they couldn't even see the other party's shadow, let alone the flames.

Jiu De Mai couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't even feel the cold, and her consciousness was a little bit broken.

In the past, she could still rely on her mixed-race physique for a while longer.

However, the side effects of becoming a dragon were too obvious, and she was hit by neutrons when the nuclear reactor was activated. She was able to survive for so long only because of her amazing willpower.

And when the will will be wiped out, her life will come to an end.

Lu Mingfei knew this very well, sighed, and just when he was about to give up following the other party, there was a sudden bell ringing in the wind and snow.

The end of the world is a chaotic darkness, but now it seems that a match has been polished in that darkness.

A little bit of brilliance, continuous and immortal.
