The climate outside the Great Wall is even worse than that south of the Great Wall. The white wind and snow are constantly falling, and the biting cold wind can penetrate clothes.
The northern border has been basically recovered due to the advance of the Night Watch Legion, and with the advancement of human soldiers, the cold that enveloped the entire northern land seems to be slowly fading.
This is the only lucky thing among ten thousand unfortunate things.
Some of the human soldiers praised the achievements of the old gods, some believed that the Seven Gods defeated the White Walkers, and a small number of soldiers who converted to believe in the Red God believed that light defeated darkness. They were the warriors of the Lord of Light, the people of the north.
The alien gods were already frightened in the face of their steely will.
However, there are at least some people who believe that man can defeat the heavens. Where did the gods come from? Human beings defeated the aliens by relying on countless soldiers who shed their lives and blood. Only when the entire country is united and all mankind unites can we finally defeat the aliens.
ghost.
Everyone has different opinions, but it is an indisputable fact that the north is getting warmer and warmer. Even now, some northerners who miss their hometown have begun to embark on the journey back home.
However, all this has nothing to do with the biting cold wind north of the Great Wall.
It is cold here all year round, no matter it is winter or summer, the existence of the Great Wall blocks the cold wind from southward, but it also keeps the winter here forever.
Bunyan, who had left the Great Wall and entered the outside of the Great Wall alone, was riding a thin black and yellow war horse, wearing a black cloak and a long sword at his waist. At this moment, he was advancing with difficulty against the white wind and snow.
He planned to rush to Custer's castle to rest temporarily today, and then set off tomorrow to the Fist of the First Men and other places.
Custer is a wild man who has a tacit cooperation with the Night's Watch. He is responsible for hosting the Night's Watch, and the Night's Watch allows him to live in the Haunted Forest without being cleared out.
However, it was a pity that the wind and snow outside the wall were too strong today. Even the war horses moved forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The soles of their feet even slipped a few times, almost knocking Bunyan off the horse.
"Damn it!"
Forced by helplessness, Bunyan was forced to change his plan and turned around and rushed to Baishu Village, which was nearest to him.
This is the free village closest to the Great Wall. Like Custer, they are also savages who have not openly opposed the Night Watch, so they are allowed to live in the Ghost Forest.
Bunyan rode the thin yellow and black horse with the wind and snow on his head and disappeared into the wind and snow.
What he didn't notice was that a shaky shadow had spotted him behind him, and then quietly followed him toward the northeast.
Baishu Village is the nearest village to the north of the Great Wall of Despair. Although the wind and snow are a bit heavy today, it still took Bunyan half a day to get here.
The current snowstorm was too heavy. He had to find a suitable place to stay and escape from this period of snowstorm. Otherwise, he would freeze to death in the wilderness without being able to find any trace of Lyanna.
Although Bunyan had rich experience in living outside the wall and was a senior night watchman, he knew very well that if there was no foothold in such a wind and snow, he would definitely die.
Baishu Village is a village of free people, but now the owners of this place have disappeared.
Bunyan vaguely remembered that when King Robert came to the Great Wall, he went out to slaughter several free people's villages, and even killed the first White Walker, but he forgot that the villagers of White Tree Village died at the hands of coalition soldiers.
In the hands are wild men from other tribes, or in the hands of the White Walkers.
However, one result is certain, they are all dead, no matter who kills them, and they have a common destination, which is to become those "blue-eyed enemies".
Baishu Village is small in size and consists of four single houses surrounding a sheep pen and a well. The houses are made of stone, so they will not be blown down by the wind. The windows are covered with animal furs to keep warm.
But now the windows in Baishu Village have been broken, and even one house has collapsed, accumulating thick snow.
There is also a giant weirwood tree in the middle of the village. Its branches are pale and the leaves have fallen off. There is a terrifying face on the trunk, and its mouth alone is enough to swallow a whole sheep.
"This weirwood is dead."
Benyan rode a skinny war horse to White Tree Village. He sat on the horse and looked up at the giant weirwood in front of him.
He could tell at a glance that this weirwood had lost all its vitality, and for some reason he felt an ominous premonition in his heart, because weirwoods are found throughout the North and beyond the Great Wall, and are considered one of the plants that can best withstand severe cold.
.
"Did it freeze to death?"
"Or are there other reasons?"
Bunyan's head was filled with wind and snow, and the gloom accumulated in his heart became deeper and deeper, but at this moment he had no time to think too much, and was just about to turn over and dismount.
However, at this moment, the zombie attack came very suddenly.
"Hoo"
A zombie with blue eyes and a tattered body seemed to appear out of thin air. It suddenly let out a terrifying roar, then rushed out from behind a nearby tree and pounced directly on Bunyan.
The sky full of wind and snow covered his footprints, and the cold climate annihilated the odor on his body.
However, when he was suddenly attacked, the chief ranger of the Night Watch Corps naturally reacted quickly.
Click
Benyan fell off his horse, holding a long sword and cutting off the arm of the wight with his backhand.
But at this moment, the quiet Baishu Village seemed to suddenly come to life, and the sound of fighting suddenly attracted more corpses.
They howled like crazy, and then rushed towards Bunyan.
The chief ranger's face was tense as he waved the long sword in his hand and continued to kill the corpses around him.
puff
However, it was a pity that he was outnumbered in the end. He chopped down several ghouls in succession, but a female-looking ghoul jumped up from behind and pounced directly on his back.
The ghoul clamped Benyan's body between its legs, opened a bloody mouth with half of his cheek rotted and exposed his black gums, and began to bite his neck crazily.
Benyan let out a desperate roar in pain, then threw the wight off his back, chopped off her head with a sword, and rolled to a far away place.
However, her head was still making a terrifying roar, and her body that fell to the ground was also moving around, as if still looking for traces of Bunyan.
The chief ranger of the Night Watch held the long sword used to kill the enemy in one hand, and covered the wound on his neck with the other hand, and blood kept gurgling out.
"I'm dying."
Bunyan seemed to have a premonition of his future, and he staggered forward a few steps. In the end, the world was spinning, his vision went dark, and he fell headlong in front of the giant dead weirwood.
