To my frozen hometown

Chapter 6 Strange Hobbies Added

After eating a somewhat greasy breakfast, the sun on the edge of the snowfield sky has completely lit up.

Liu Yuan wiped the oil stains around his mouth with his sleeve, and picked up the snow on the ground to "wash" the blood on his body.

The smell of blood will attract wild animals, which is common sense in the wild.

If Liu Yuan was the only one, she might not care about these details.But at this time, there was still an Al by her side, which made her have to start thinking about avoiding the beast.

There were only two bullets in her pistol, and if she only relied on a small knife, even she was not absolutely sure that she could protect a completely defenseless child in the herd.

For ordinary people, rubbing snow on their body in the snow field is undoubtedly a suicide-like behavior, but for Liu Yuan, it is no different from taking a bath by the river.

Her physical condition does not conform to scientific theory at all, and she has long been used to this.

Al sat aside, watching Liuyuan lift off his tattered shirt, revealing his muscular lower abdomen, he couldn't help asking in a daze.

"Liu Yuan, are you really not cold like this?"

She still can't understand why Liu Yuan looks so relaxed. You know, even if she is wearing winter clothes, it is difficult for her to resist the cold of the ice field in most cases.

From the looks of it right now, Liu Yuan only wore two pieces of clothes from inside to outside, especially after giving her the overcoat, there should be only one shirt left on Liu Yuan's body.

But even so, Al still didn't see the slightest feeling of cold on the homeless man.

Well, in fact, Yanagihara also had a short vest under his shirt, but the ability of that thing to keep out the cold was basically zero.

"Ah?" Hearing Al's question, Liu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said perfunctorily.

"Maybe it's because I'm used to it. I've been on this ice sheet for long enough."

"Really?" Al sideways his hair, apparently still having some doubts about this answer.

"Okay." After wiping off most of the blood on his body, Liu Yuan didn't wait for Al to ask the next question, but stood up and said.

"Get ready to go. We still have a long way to go. If you want to see your sister earlier, it's better not to waste too much time here."

"Oh, umm." Mentioning his sister, Al quickly got up and packed up his things.

She just had a full meal, which gave her some mobility.

With Al's help, the two put away the tent and other tools.

Afterwards, Liuyuan put on the overcoat returned by Al again, sat on the snowmobile, and drove the girl deeper into the ice field.

······

The next few days were very boring. With Liu Yuan deliberately avoiding them, the two never encountered any wild beasts again. Al could only gnaw on the dried meat every day and miss the taste of the wild dog.

Just like most people find it difficult to be a vegetarian after they have prescribed meat, she seems to have begun to understand the true meaning of food.

You must know that people on the ice sheet usually only regard eating as a means of survival. This is obviously a kind of degeneration, a degeneration of thought.It is intolerable and unforgivable.It's just that now, Al doesn't have such a deep obsession.

When he had nothing to do, Liu Yuan would sit on the motorcycle and continue writing her letter.

However, like an online writer who has been stuck for three months, she didn't even write a single word for seven or eight days.

Fortunately, she seemed to have gotten used to this normal state, and she didn't become restless because of it.

Liu Yuan's shirt was completely torn. During its ten-year lifespan, it had obviously experienced too many unbearable burdens, so it could be regarded as the end of its life.Liu Yuan threw it on the ground casually, and then left this old buddy.

At this time, only a brown coat and a tight vest were left on her body, her sharp belly was exposed, and her flat chest appeared even flatter.

With her body oil all over her body, she looks like a sexy female repairman in some anime works, but unfortunately, her figure is not sexy at all.

In addition, Al seems to have a special hobby recently, that is, when Liuyuan is driving, he secretly touches Liuyuan's stomach while sitting in the back, the hard and smooth touch seems to make her unable to put it down.If it weren't for the ice sheet being too cold, she might even take off her gloves to touch it.

However, Liu Yuan didn't realize this, she was just driving, um, simply driving.

Such days did not last too long, about the No. 11 day after leaving the No. [-] greenhouse, the two finally saw a huge mountain range in the east of the snow field.

This meant that they were about to reach Greenhouse No. [-].

Greenhouse No. [-] in the west is also called the Huanshan Greenhouse, because this greenhouse is built next to a huge ring mountain range.

This ring-shaped mountain range is like a natural barrier, standing across the back room of this greenhouse, blocking the wind and snow.

But the mountains also brought dangers. Every time the wild animals were active in the mountains, there would be a large number of herds wandering around.

This makes the Huanshan Greenhouse cut off communication with the outside world at this time of year, greatly reducing the number of people going out and entering the greenhouse to avoid attacks by wild animals.

But even so, there are still many people who die every year due to wild beast attacks, and the convoys used by the greenhouse to transport resources and equipment are often besieged by wild beasts.

If nothing else, apparently this year will be the same.

So as early as two months ago, the Huanshan Greenhouse had entered the early warning period.

After that, their guards almost never relaxed again, taking turns day and night, monitoring the situation outside the greenhouse from the wall all the time.

······

There was no snow in the sky on this day, so that the sun was a bit dazzling. At the foot of the continuous mountain, there were scattered figures on the gray-black barrier.

A scout in winter clothing was holding up a telescope to look at a snowy slope in the distance.

In order to facilitate the attack and deterrence of wild animals close to the wall, the wall outside the greenhouse is outside the insulation layer of the greenhouse.

Without the protection of the isolation layer, the environment on the outer barrier is naturally quite harsh.

The fluff on the scout's collar was billowed by the wind, and he wore a face mask to keep him from breathing hard.

Besides him stood a whole armed procession on the rampart.

There were about 100 people in the team, all of them held loaded rifles in their hands, and under the dark oxygen masks on their faces, they stared at the snowfield with pairs of eyes, as if they were waiting for something.

"Step." A footstep sounded.

In the team, a middle-aged man with an armband walked up to the scout.

His face was like a rock cut by a knife, which made people feel stiff and cold, with a serious look in his eyes, and his right hand was placed on his waist, resting on the handle of a saber.The back is straight, and the whole person is like a sharp sword, sharp and straight.

Judging from this person's epaulettes, he should be the captain of the guard of this greenhouse.

The dark blue military coat was pulled by the bitter cold wind, the middle-aged man looked at the scout and asked.

"Is that wolf pack still there?"

Recently, a pack of wolves appeared outside the greenhouse around the mountain. Someone discovered them half a month ago. They have been wandering there for a long time and have not left.

With them there, traffic in and out of the greenhouse becomes very difficult.

So today, the Greenhouse Guard of the Huanshan Greenhouse is going to drive the wolf pack back into the mountains.

Wolves, this word can be said to be two concepts in the post-disaster era and the pre-disaster era. This difference is not in the definition, but in individual differences.

Wild wolves in the pre-disaster era were generally no more than two meters in length, no more than [-] meters in shoulder height, and no more than [-] kilograms in weight.However, after the wild wolves of the post-disaster era have passed the test of nature, their size is usually larger than this value.Their average body length is about three meters, and some individuals can even grow to more than four meters.

If wild wolves of this size attack humans in groups, the consequences are usually unimaginable. Too many people who ventured into the ice field are killed by these wild wolves.

"Report sir."

The scout flicked his binoculars and replied.

"They were resting on the side of the hillside and looked like they were still looking for prey."

It was just a small pack of wolves, only about [-] in number, but the wolf king was a huge beast with a size of nearly [-] meters. At that level, it would be difficult for ordinary firearms to kill it directly. up.

"Hmph." The captain of the guard snorted coldly, with some suppressed anger in his tone.

"It's that time of year when they come looking for prey."

The prey these beasts are looking for is naturally humans and the goods transported by humans.

Whenever ordinary prey can't meet their needs, these beasts will invariably turn their attention to the human resident, which is the reason for the gathering of beasts.

And when these beasts are driven crazy due to food shortage, they will launch a beast tide.

Herds of beasts gather every year, but beast swarms don't happen every year. What is certain is that every time a beast swarm starts, it is basically when the number of wild beasts is out of control.

And after the beast tide passed, the wild beasts whose numbers were under control would calm down again, and continue to reproduce while waiting for the next beast tide to start.

This is like a way of natural selection. In the current environment, any creature, including humans, must compete with other creatures in order to win the space to survive.

But the space is limited, so they must consume each other in order to survive stably.

"Sir." The scout with the binoculars suddenly frowned and said.

"Wolves appear to be approaching the greenhouse."

"Then let them come." The captain's tone was dull, and he put his hand on the barrier.

"Once they're in range, don't let them go."
