Returning to the end of the world before the natural disaster, I emptied the world of supplies

Chapter 396 Shelter
"See, I told you that it would be hard to pull this sled at first, but it will be easy once it starts moving." Qin Lang and Song Qian pulled the rope, then dragged the sled loaded with hundreds of kilograms of musk ox forward with ease.

Hua Bao, who had secretly helped them with 90% of their strength, silently stretched out a vine and waved its small leaves towards Jiang Yan.

Song Haitao, who was worried about the huge thing being transported, breathed a sigh of relief. "Everyone, hurry up and set off. We will try to arrive before noon."

The daytime hours are very short now.

When we get there, there is still a lot of preparation to do.

Their time is not abundant.

"Okay." Jiang Yan and Ye Qing started the motorcycle engines and led the team towards the Phoenix Mountain Observatory again.

The wind and snow got stronger.

The biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew towards everyone.

Everyone was still able to chat for a while at the beginning, but gradually everyone stopped talking and focused on moving forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Sun Jingtao took the telescope from Qin Lang and said in surprise, "Dr. Song, I can see the woods!"

"Forest?!" Everyone was shocked at first, and then surprised.

"Yes, it's black, a large area!" Sun Jingtao said, handing the telescope to Song Haitao. "Doctor, do you think this terrain looks like the area near an observatory?"

Most city observatories have iconic white round dome buildings.

Dongshan is Su Dai's hometown, but when Sun Jingtao accompanied her back before, he didn't pay special attention to it.

In addition, visibility was poor in the wind and snow, and now the top of the mountain was covered with thick white fog, so he couldn't judge.

"Yes, those are the black pines unique to Phoenix Mountain. We are almost there." Dr. Song felt relieved.

When they heard that they were almost there, everyone, who had already been exhausted, suddenly regained their strength.

"Black pine?!" Song Qian took the telescope and took a look. "If it's a pine tree, we don't have to worry about heating during this period."

After experiencing high temperatures, heavy rains and extreme cold, these trees would have died long ago.

Not to mention that there is so much firewood, pine trees contain oil and are particularly easy to burn.

"Can we still pick up pine nuts?" someone in the team asked.

"Of course not." Song Qian returned the telescope to Sun Jingtao, pulled the rope and continued to move forward, saying, "We are very lucky to have some tree trunks left for us."

In my impression, pine trees are all gnarled and rugged, but these pine trees seem to have no branches, only bare trunks.

It was half buried by heavy snow.

From a distance, the part exposed above the snow looked like a pile of crooked tree stumps.

He knew that in the absence of tools, the branches could be easily removed.

If the temperature was higher, the snowstorm was smaller, or the other party had tools, or was closer to the base, these tree trunks probably would not have been left behind.

The team moved on.

Seeing that the target was within reach, everyone was very energetic.

It was supposed to be an hour's journey, but we arrived in just over 40 minutes.

However, reaching the edge of the black pine forest was only the first stage; now they faced the more difficult second stage: climbing the hill.

There is still a long distance from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.

In everyone's opinion, the pulling power of the snowmobile was not enough to pull the sled carrying so many people and supplies to the top of the mountain.

But it's not a difficult task for Huabao.

I've already defied the will of heaven once, so I don't mind defying it once more.

The key point is that it is obviously unrealistic to ask Song Haitao and others to come down and climb up on foot.

Seeing that Jiang Yan had no intention of stopping, Song Haitao couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xiao Jiang, is there enough gas in the tank?"

It’s no problem to ride a regular motorcycle for two to three hundred kilometers.

But in such extremely cold weather and towing so many heavy objects, the fuel consumption has obviously increased.

"It's okay, Doctor. Just sit in the car and relax." Jiang Yan said and stepped on the accelerator.

Although Ye Qing was very skeptical about the motorcycle carrying so many heavy objects up the mountain, since Jiang Yan said it was no problem, then it was no problem.

Kong Wu and another soldier tied two more ropes to Song Qian's sled and helped pull the sled up.

At the front of the entire team, Hua Bao stretched out three vines and pulled three sled groups slowly forward.

Ye Qing only felt that the gravity behind him suddenly became lighter from a certain moment.

However, the terrain on the snow slope was a bit complicated, and he didn't dare to slow down and look back.

"Don't we cut down some pine trees to take away?" Su Dai wondered as she watched everyone leaving the pine forest without any intention of stopping.

Lin Xiaohui, who was sitting on a sled in front of her, said, "We have to find a place to stay first."

Su Dai said "Oh" and looked back at Sun Jingtao.

After Jiang Yan, Ye Qing and their friends increased the speed of their motorcycles, Sun Jingtao and his friends, who were originally walking on both sides of the sled, were now left behind the sled team.

"Hubby, be careful!"

"Okay." Sun Jingtao waved at her.

Following the snow trail left by the woods, Jiang Yan, Ye Qing and others soon reached the end of the trail.

On the wide platform, several lonely houses collapsed by snow and meteorites, several huge radio telescopes, and an iconic white dome building appeared in sight.

The gate of the dome building was half buried in snow, and the dome was covered with long and thick ice chains.

"Thank God, we're finally here." Qin Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after pulling the sled to a stable place and stopping it.

Song Qian glanced around vigilantly, "Everyone should be careful."

Jiang Yan and Ye Qing also parked the car and turned to the people sitting on the sled and said:

"Doctor, don't come down yet."

"Let's go explore the area first." Jiang Yan said, and took off the submachine gun from her back.

According to Song Haitao, since there are equipment here that can contact the Musen Base, it should be heavily guarded.

But now it seems clearly not.

As for the pine forest we just passed, in the area near the observatory, there were obviously fewer tree trunks exposed above the snow, which meant that there was a high probability that there were people here.

Anyone who can survive in such an environment is not an ordinary person.

Sun Jingtao and his friends also caught up, panting.

"Lao Sun, you guys stay here, we'll go in and take a look." After Song Qian said that, he took off his gun and went to chase Jiang Yan and the others with Qin Lang.

After finishing his physical work with some grunts, Hua Bao lay on Jiang Yan's shoulder again, then shrank his body and slipped in through the crack of the door.

Ye Qing leaned over to the door of the white room, listened attentively for a while, observed for a moment, turned around and whispered:

"No one seems to be inside."

But Jiang Yan said, "There should be, and the door is locked, locked from the inside."

Ye Qing: "."

Song Qian: “.”

Kong Wu: "Sister Yan, how did you know?"
