That night, another snowstorm covered the sky and covered the sun in the snowfields on the northern border.
The temperature outside suddenly dropped to zero.
Except for a small number of freaks who have adapted to this extreme environment, no living thing can survive in the wild.
In such extreme weather, Xue Yun would not be able to walk tonight.
I can only make do with the garrison camp for one night...
The residents of Yongze Town seem to have become accustomed to this bad weather.
Everyone made the tacit choice to stay at home.
Even the coal mines that operate around the clock have stopped operating.
Everyone closed their doors and set up warm stoves, so they wouldn't freeze to death on the streets.
Yi Yanyang sent someone to prepare charcoal fires and quilts for heating, and left in a hurry.
Anyone can rest, but they can't.
There is a sentry tower on the city tower specifically to deal with this situation. In order to prevent a group of monster beasts from suddenly attacking the town, Yi Yanyang and a group of subordinates must take turns to stand guard on the city wall.
Before leaving, Xue Yun took out several bottles of Royal Salute from Yipin Zun Mansion from the system space.
These bottles of sky-high price sparkling wine were all paid for with Iron Lady’s bank card when I took Black Pearl to dinner.
I simply borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and stuffed them into their arms.
The reason is also very simple and violent. Isn’t it a blizzard? It’s okay to take a few bites! Just take two bites and you won’t feel cold...
Everyone was holding wine bottles and looking at each other, a little bit dumbfounded.
He admired the group of national night watchmen in front of him from the bottom of his heart. Xue Yun was very limited in what he could do.
Just a few bottles of good wine, just treat it as your own.
...
late at night.
It was already snowing outside the house.
The garrison camp was still brightly lit.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Xue Yun's loud shout suddenly sounded, almost drowning out the howling snowstorm.
Still huddled next to the stove, the protruding bulb eyes of the t800 kept shrinking, like a child who had done something wrong.
"I, what I said are objective facts..."
A frustrated expression appeared on the mechanical face.
I'm afraid t800 itself didn't realize that all its behaviors and conditioned reflexes began to look more and more like living humans.
"The magnetic levitation engine was completely burned by high-voltage current during the transmission process. It must be replaced with a new engine to operate normally in sports car form..."
With that said, the robot slowly turned around.
The metal back behind him slowly opened, revealing the maglev engine inside.
As expected.
The engine was already completely charred, and occasionally sparks would fly out. It looked like it was really scrapped...
Stunned, Xue Yun stood up suddenly and started walking back and forth in the room.
Yongze Town is located on the far north border, and even the nearest Dog City is nearly two hundred kilometers away.
You know, the distance of more than two hundred kilometers is a real snowfield!
Ordinary maglev vehicles simply cannot travel through the snowy wilderness...
I thought that with the powerful in-vehicle functions of the t800, I should be able to overcome this dilemma.
As long as he finds a way to get to Dog City, Xue Yun can at least take the maglev track back to Longdu, which only takes a few hours.
It's better now.
At the critical moment, the t800 dropped its chain!
Yongze Town is already short of supplies. Where can I find a new engine for you to replace it with?!
Xue Yun frowned and walked to the window, opening the curtains.
There is still heavy snow falling outside the dark window, and it seems that the snow will only get thicker tomorrow.
Unless a new magnetic levitation engine is found as a replacement according to what T800 said, it will be impossible to make progress.
"I can't sit still and wait for death. I have to contact Halong City!"
Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, Xue Yungang wanted to make a call, but was disappointed to find that there was no signal at all!
Damn it!
Walking around the room holding his cell phone, Xue Yun tried to receive even a little signal, enough to send a text message.
After trying for a long time, it was still in vain!
"Master, I just tried it..."
T800 said dejectedly: "All communication signals have been cut off due to the snowstorm, and we cannot contact the outside world!"
"Your grandpa's legs..."
Sitting paralyzed on the ground, Xue Yun fell into despair.
The border with harsh natural environment deep in Yongze Town is basically an isolated and lawless place.
"Now, what should I do?" t800 looked at Xue Yun with a helpless face. As an artificial intelligence life form, it had left the support of a huge network system and was stuck in a wild land. There was nothing it could do.
"What else can I do!? Of course I'm sleeping..."
Putting away his mobile phone, Xue Yun threw his head back and fell on the bed, pulled up the quilt and shouted: "Tomorrow morning we will go to the town and pray to God and Buddha to find a working maglev engine, otherwise we will prepare to spend the winter here!
"
After a while, Xue Yun fell into a deep sleep.
I was speechless for a while. T800 is a silicon-based organism and has no concept of the definition of sleep and rest.
After a slight pause, the robot huddled helplessly in the corner, choosing to enter standby mode in order to reduce energy consumption.
The bulging eyes slowly retracted and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning.
The dazzling sunlight sneaked into the house through the gaps in the curtains.
After getting up and stretching, Xue Yun noticed that there was some sunshine.
He quickly turned over to the window and looked out. The scenery outside the window was like a fairy tale world.
The vast streets are filled with thick snow, and under the halo of the sun in the early morning, everything you see is covered in silver.
The blizzard that raged all night finally stopped!
He opened the door in a panic, and a biting cold wind hit his face. Xue Yun immediately stepped back.
Although the snowstorm has stopped, the temperature remains unchanged at all.
He quickly put on the winter clothes in the room.
Looking sideways at the T800 in standby mode next to the stove, Xue Yun still resisted waking it up.
After all, he is a man-made freak, and wandering around the town so arrogantly will definitely scare the townspeople.
After putting on his snow boots, Xue Yun tidied up briefly, opened the door and rushed out of the room!
Zhongnan has beautiful Yin ridges and snow-covered clouds.
The forest is showing its bright colors, and the city is getting colder at dusk.
Walking on the streets of Yongze Town, many residents have begun to clear the snow in front of their homes.
There is no bustle and bustle of the fortress city here, but there is an inexplicable peace and warmth.
Although life is very difficult, most people's faces are still full of smiles.
Men, women, even the elderly and children are all involved in clearing the snow.
Everyone didn't tell each other apart at all. Neighbors helped each other and shoveled piles of ice and snow to the roadside walkways together.
Even on the streets that are public facilities, there are still voluntary organizations organized by the townspeople to clean them.
Everything seemed neat and orderly.
There was no trace of anger on their faces, and their moods seemed very peaceful...
"Instructor Xue, are you awake?"
"We all heard what Commander Yi said. Thanks to you, we defeated the bandits in Fort Bonow yesterday."
"You are holding this basket of apples, they are grown by us at home! They are so sweet!"
"Yes, you are a great benefactor to our town. We are a small place and don't have much good things to thank you for. Please accept these eggs!"
In a short time, Xue Yun had a lot of condolences in his arms.
Fruit, eggs and even a small pocket full of grain...
Facing the love of these simple townspeople, Xue Yun felt at a loss for the first time.
Frankly speaking, it was a complete accident that he took out Popov's gang yesterday, and he did not do it intentionally at all.
But the townspeople responded to Xue Yun's unintentional act with a fountain of water.
It's really a bit unexpected.
"uncle......"
A little girl who looked to be only five or six years old suddenly grabbed Xue Yun's clothes.
"Uh...little sister, what's wrong?" Xue Yun lowered his head and asked with raised eyebrows.
Taking out a paintbrush from her pocket, the little girl smiled and said, "I want to draw a little red flower in the palm of your hand!"
ah?!
With a face full of astonishment, Xue Yun was petrified on the spot, not knowing what to do...
The little girl's rosy face was very endearing. She tilted her head and explained: "Every time my mother praises me, she will draw a small red flower on the palm of my hand. She says this is recognition and reward for me.
..."
Raising the brush in her hand, the little girl said eagerly: "Uncle drove away the bad guys and helped everyone, so I also want to give you a little red flower, okay?"
Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
"Of course!"
Slowly squatting down, Xue Yun smiled and spread his right hand: "Then you have to draw a big one for me!"
