But adapting to the environment does not mean that the temperature will really get warmer. It will still be cold. The city of Koros gave her a real warning.
White Wolf left the floating port and went to the bus station in the south of the city before it got dark. However, the bus station stopped selling tickets at three o'clock in the afternoon. The reason was that for safety reasons, they wanted to ensure that the bus arrived at its destination before dark in winter.
It's almost evening now, so there's no need to count on it.
After Bailang wrote down the long-distance bus schedule on the bulletin board at the station entrance, he began to look for a hotel.
She brought a lot of money with her this time, a total of 70,000 Lungmen coins. A small part of this money came from her salary at Penguin Logistics, and most of it was the bounty given by the Guard Bureau to enthusiastic citizens.
The bounty in hand is actually thanks to Officer Xingxiong. Every time she assists in solving a case, Xingxiong will carefully identify whether the criminal is the one on the wanted list, and then take the initiative to apply for the bounty on her behalf.
If Bai Lang were to do it herself, she wouldn't know who had escaped the Longmen wanted list, and if she didn't actively apply for this kind of bounty, it would expire soon, and her actions would be assumed to be truly "enthusiastic".
Bailang is a pragmatic person. She doesn't mind having more money in her pocket. Every time Xingxiong tells her about the bounty, she jumps up happily and announces that she will treat her to a meal. During her time at Longmen, this situation greatly increased her enthusiasm for assisting the Guards Bureau.
Of course, in addition to her 70,000 Lungmen coins, she also had a white Business Alliance Card, but she had no intention of touching this card.
She knew that Platinum had been running around Terra, earning a lot of extra money, and was not short of money at all, but the other party was from Casimir, and the importance of the salary card was beyond doubt. Moreover, what if Platinum encountered an emergency and needed a lot of money? She had to help keep this card, as if it was saving money for the other party.
Anyway, now that Bai Lang has become a rich man again, many things are much more convenient for him to do. She booked a hotel room next to the bus station. It was a bit expensive, but for people who need to get up early to travel, it is indeed much more convenient.
The next morning, she left Corros by coach and arrived at Winterfell Station at two in the afternoon.
Winterfell in winter hardly feels like a city.
Looking forward from the main street in the city to the end of the road, there are only a few people hurrying along. With this level of traffic, it is not an exaggeration to call this place a town.
Maybe it’s because of the lack of popularity. White Wolf feels that the temperature here is four or five degrees lower than that in Koros City. Going further north, the base of the Integration Movement must be even colder than here.
It was already late, and White Wolf could have rested for a night before heading to the tundra, but she couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to set off immediately. Calculating the distance, if she continued on her way, she would reach her destination around nine o'clock in the evening.
She had a late lunch at a restaurant and then set out into the tundra.
The scenery on the road has not changed much compared to half a year ago, but if you pay close attention, you will find that every place is different.
First of all, there is the snow under your feet. This white snow is very deceptive. It looks very soft, but it is actually hard. If you step on it hard, you can hear a crackling sound, like ice crystals breaking.
Then came the sunlight. The sun at three o'clock in the afternoon seemed fake. There was no warmth on people, and even the light was extremely weak and dim. White Wolf could look directly at the sun with relative ease.
If there was anything active in this cold and dead silence, it was the wind. The wind in the tundra never stopped all year round, and it also caused great trouble to the advancing white wolf.
It's nothing, it's just too cold to be blown by this kind of wind. Although the wind is not strong, it feels like a blunt knife cutting you when it blows on your body.
She walked for a whole afternoon, but could not see any trace of any living creatures. The animals were not stupid, and they all knew that it was better to hibernate in warm dens in such weather. The white wolf paused for a moment and looked around at the boundless snowfield in all directions. It seemed as if she was the only one in the world, and she felt extremely lonely.
The sky gradually darkened, and the white wolf used the frozen river as a signpost and went upstream along the river to avoid losing his direction.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. There should be a village on the left.
Do you want to go over?
Maybe not.
Although she was eager to go there, the village was not on her route and going there would be like taking a detour.
In the extremely cold environment, physical strength is consumed extremely greatly. She is now cold and tired, and just wants to save energy and rush to the base in one go.
After walking a long way, the destination is still far away.
She increasingly realized that she had underestimated the winter in the tundra. The time she had calculated before was based on her past trips. In this extreme environment, her speed was affected. Perhaps she would be a few hours later than expected?
She began to regret that she should have asked for shelter when she saw the fire.
Now, the village had long been walked past, and it was dark all around, with no trace of people. Only the rustling sound of footsteps on the snow could be clearly heard from under their feet, echoing far away in the cold and dark wilderness.
The long road has no direction and no end.
The surrounding environment became dim and bright without her knowing. Bai Lang had long begun to use her sword as a crutch, and her legs moved forward mechanically. She seemed to see a camp, but she could not confirm whether it was an illusion. Even if it was real, she did not have the energy to be happy.
She heard shouting in her ears, probably someone had discovered her. She stood still, raised her head with difficulty, and saw a white figure approaching quickly.
She was in a daze for a while before she realized the identity of the person. Suddenly her whole body relaxed, all her strength was drained away, and she fell down softly, then was supported by a pair of hands.
"Sister, I'm so tired."
She lay in Frost Star's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Volume 4: Chapter 7: Froststar's New Partner
When I opened my eyes, I could see the brown birch roof. I tilted my head to the right and saw a small window. It was bright outside; it was broad daylight.
The memory of last night was already blurred. White Wolf only vaguely remembered seeing Frost Star. What happened afterwards? Where was this place?
While she was thinking, a white figure came into her sight: Froststar walked into the room and got something from the table.
"Froststar." White Wolf called out, then sat up from the bed.
Only then did she realize that she was still wearing warm clothes. Only her coat was placed at the head of the bed. The double protection of clothes and bedding prevented her from feeling cold.
"You're awake. How did you rest?" Frost Star turned her head in surprise and asked with concern.
Bai Lang noticed that the other party was holding a wooden spoon. She nodded and replied:
"Fortunately, I feel much better now."
Shuangxing breathed a sigh of relief, then became serious: "You shouldn't have come here at this time."
"But..." White Wolf was about to speak when he was interrupted by Frost Star.
"I know what you want to say, but we are here with the Reunion, so don't worry. Even without mentioning this, it's not right for you to come here at night. It's so cold, what if something goes wrong?"
"I didn't expect it to be so cold." Bai Lang felt guilty, she lowered her head and whispered, not daring to look at Shuang Xing. Alina's reply letter asked her not to come to the north for the time being, Shuang Xing must have known that.
"We should at least wait until the next morning before setting off." Frost Star continued to lecture.
"But I don't want to wait." White Wolf retorted weakly, "I miss you guys so much."
Frost Star opened her mouth to say something, but the words stopped at her lips. She turned her head away and didn't look at White Wolf.
After a while, she turned back, her eyes red and a little helpless, and asked gently: "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry."
"I'll make you something to eat." Frost Star suddenly became happy. She raised the spoon in her hand as if she was going to do something encouraging.
After Frost Star left the room, White Wolf also wanted to go out to help. She lifted the quilt a little bit, and then covered it again in a flash.
No, no, it’s too cold. The bed is so warm, it would be a waste to leave.
Well, it’s better not to go out. Cooking is actually very simple. Frost Star is so capable that she definitely doesn’t need any help.
"Are you very familiar with Lyudmila?" Frost Star's question suddenly came from outside the room. The voice was very clear. It seemed that the kitchen and bedroom were separated by only a wall.
"A friend I met on the road. She was the one who showed me the way to the Yeti Squad last time."
"I said so."
"what happened?"
"nothing."
After a while, Shuangxing couldn't help but explain: "Something happened. Two months ago, Lyudmila and I worked together to lead a team for the first time. At the beginning, we had many disagreements. I thought this cooperation would always be tense, but within just one week, our relationship improved and our cooperation became more and more tacit."
Shuang Xing paused, her tone somewhat ambiguous: "Now that I think about it, there was a turning point in our relationship. It should be that day when she suddenly asked me about you."
White Wolf was wrapped in a blanket in the room. Upon hearing this, he asked curiously, "Hey, how did you answer?"
"I just said a few words casually. It seems that she values you very much." Frost Star said.
There was actually some concealment in her words. The situation was very delicate at that time. After the King Slayer heard the news about the Yeti Squad, he nervously asked her for confirmation, and she nodded and admitted her relationship with the White Wolf.
Here is a bit of additional information: in the eyes of the Yeti Squad, White Wolf and Frost Star have always been half-sisters.
"Speaking of Lyudmila, she is indeed a trustworthy person. It will be a good idea to have a good relationship with her." Bai Lang recalled the past and sighed.
"This is the first time I've seen you evaluate someone like this."
"Haha, really? Actually, we were just casual acquaintances at first, but then something happened and I treated her as a friend."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Well, it was actually a trivial matter. I think I was still in Che City at the time. I once talked to her about the Reunion Movement. Maybe I was too enthusiastic, so she eagerly advised me not to get involved with this organization. Isn't it strange? She is a member of the Reunion Movement and she also believes in its ideals, but she advised me to keep my distance from it. From then on, I thought, Lyudmila is a really nice name, I must always remember her."
Shuangxing, who was cooking, laughed out loud. "I didn't expect that you would not only come to the Reunion, but also bring a large group of us. I was wondering why Lyudmila had a weird expression every time she mentioned you. She really was doing it for your own good when she spoke to you like that."
"I know. I have to apologize next time I see her."
"No need for next time." Shuangxing said happily, "She is not far from the camp. I will call her over for dinner later. She doesn't even know you're here yet."
"Huh, are you guys on such a good relationship now?" White Wolf was very surprised.
"We are partners now. Two months ago, when we were dealing with the patrol team, she, Big Bob and Broken Bones formed two teams. This relationship has now stabilized."
"Alina said in the letter she sent me that I trust you two, but Bonebreaker is a bad tempered man. Can Big Bob and him work together?"
"You're right. Bonebreaker is young and doesn't know much. But the fact surprised everyone. He and Big Bob have had a very good relationship since the beginning. I think he regards Big Bob as a trustworthy elder."
Everything was moving in the best direction. White Wolf was so happy that she hugged her legs through the quilt and swayed happily on the bed: "Big Bob's gentle personality is really liked by children. This is great."
"The meal is ready. I'll go call Lyudmila. Hurry up and get ready. Don't stay in bed."
"Uh-huh."
Hearing Frost Star's footsteps leaving, White Wolf had to reluctantly give up the warm bed. While tidying up her messy long hair, she looked around the room, then went out to take a look in confusion.
it's wired.
She has confirmed that this is a single room and there is only one bed. Well, there is even only one set of bedding. In that case, did Frost Star sleep with her yesterday?
I think... yes.
She yawned and thought that what she was thinking was boring. Just sleep together. It’s not impossible to squeeze in. It’s good enough to have such conditions in the snowfield. It’s not like they are still in Rhodes Island.
But she must go back tonight. She also has to save face and can't always be taken care of by Frost Star.
Volume 4: Chapter 8 Current Situation
Not long after, faint voices were heard outside the door. White Wolf took a peek outside and saw Froststar and Kingslayer walking towards the room while discussing something.
Judging from the serious expressions of the two people, Frost Star definitely did not tell Lyudmila that she was here. Not only did she not say it, but she seemed to be deliberately talking about business to distract Lyudmila's attention.
How bad! Why didn’t I realize that Frost Star had this side before?
Bai Lang was excited, her eyes flickering with excitement. She quietly hid behind the door, ready to cooperate in a surprise.
The two people who were talking reached the door, and she heard Shuang Xing said naturally: "You go to the room and tidy up the table first, and I will bring the things in later."
"Okay." Lyudmila walked over without any doubt.
The white wolf hiding behind the door held her breath. She observed a red-haired Luper appear in front of her. Due to the angle, she could only see his back.
Lyudmila still likes to wear black clothes. The combination of black jacket and black jeans makes her red tail particularly eye-catching.
The White Wolf stared at Lyudmila without blinking, and when the other party pulled the table, she pounced out suddenly, wanting to give the other party a surprise.
However, White Wolf's plan was discovered from the beginning. Lyudmila disappeared on the spot and dodged the pounce in a flash.
The next moment, she appeared behind Bai Lang and put her hand knife on the attacker's neck, ready to knock the person in front of her unconscious at any time.
The White Wolf took Lyudmila's hand and turned to smile at the girl.
Red Tail Luper finally realized who was playing a prank on her. She couldn't believe her eyes. She was surprised and delighted. In her surprise, she also felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have hidden herself just now.
"How did you find me?" asked the white wolf happily.
"The nose," Lyudmila answered.
"Nose? Is there something on my nose?" White Wolf let go of his hand and looked around to find a mirror.
"No, I mean the sense of smell. I smelled it. As soon as I entered the room, I could smell someone else's scent, so I didn't let my guard down."
"Amazing."
"You can do it, too. This is the talent of our Lupo people."
"But I can't do that. My nose is stupid."
The Kingslayer was just about to use the theoretical knowledge he learned in elementary school to help White Wolf regain his confidence when Froststar came in with a bowl of rice.
"Hello." She smiled as she looked at the harmonious scene in the room. "What are you talking about?"
"Lyudmila said I have a terrible nose."
