End of the World Terminator

Chapter 168: At the foot of the mountain

Along the way, Qin Tian always took care of the big tiger and treated him like his own son.

And the big tiger seemed to regard Qin Tian as me. When he was hungry, tired or thirsty, he just kept calling to him.

Ling Yun had been observing Qin Tian and Big Tiger through the car's mirror. The two stops of the motorcade were both to feed the tiger.

The rest of the people were not dissatisfied with this, and most of them were full of fear and admiration.

Zhang Yu looked at Qin Tian with admiration in his eyes.

When the sun set in the west again, majestic mountains appeared directly in front of the entire convoy.

When the high mountain appeared, it was still far away from the convoy. Qin Tian frowned slightly, looked at the high mountain, and then came to the front row of cars.

"What mountain is that?"

Qin Tian asked Ling Yun in the car.

"It must be Taibai Ridge."

Ling Yun pushed up his glasses and said: "This mountain is about 1,900 meters high. There is a section of the Great Wall on it. The top of the mountain is covered with snow and ice all year round, and that section of the Great Wall is always covered by snow."

Hearing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly and asked, "Then should we take a detour?"

"There is no way around it. This mountain peak connects the Qilian Mountains and spans three provinces. We can only climb it."

Ling Yun paused and then said: "I think if we climb this mountain, we will definitely pass the monster's territory. There is no one on the mountain, so there should be no monsters on it, but we still have to It’s better to be careful.”

"Um."

Qin Tian nodded and patted the big tiger on the forehead. The big tiger roared and ran forward quickly as if he understood.

Qin Tian and Da Laohu led the way, and the convoy continued to move forward.

Night gradually came, and Qin Tian, ​​who was riding a big tiger near a high mountain, looked up at the sky as if he was feeling something, and gathered a ball of fire. By the light of the fire, he saw white objects floating down.

"Snowing?"

Qin Tian frowned slightly, asked Tiger to slow down, and finally stopped the entire convoy. Then he went to the van where the supplies were packed and dug out some thick quilts, and gave some to everyone in the car before continuing on his way.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the ground became muddy and stiff. Every time Qin Tian and Big Tiger exhaled, the breath turned into a mist-like water column. As a last resort, he had no choice but to lead the team to a small courtyard.

"Let's rest here for now and leave again tomorrow."

Qin Tian told Ling Yun, and Ling Yun agreed.

Then, he directed the skeletons to walk into the bungalow in the courtyard, vacated the hall, lit a fire in the hall, and then all seven of them walked in.

People and tigers gathered around the fire to keep warm. The big tiger was very close to everyone, but it was always under Qin Tian's supervision. He didn't dare to act arrogantly. He was soon drunk by Qin Tian and fell asleep "snoring".

Ling Yun and Qin Tian first arranged for Ling Jiao, Zhou Lili, and Zhou Yunjia to rest in the empty room upstairs, while Zhang Yu lay down by the fire.

Then, Ling Yun handed Qin Tian a cigar, and the two started smoking quietly by the fire.

After a while, Qin Tiancai said to Ling Yun: "Before going to the snow mountain, I must prepare enough food for the tiger and collect supplies to keep out the cold. By the way, how long does it take to cross the Taibai Mountains?"

"A conservative estimate would be a week at the latest, and if it's faster, it would be about four days."

Ling Yun took off the cigar and said expressionlessly: "However, the weather on the top of the mountain is extremely cold, and after crossing Taibai Ridge, there are still continuous mountains. We have to climb one after another, which may take some time and is incalculable. "

Hearing this, Qin Tian twitched his lips and said, "How many are there?"

"a lot of."

Ling Yun paused and then said: "But after climbing over these mountains, you will reach the nature reserve. It is a deep mountain and old forest. There are many wild animals in it. Food and drinking water should not be a problem."

Hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "That's not bad."

The two discussed the route into the mountain again, and then fell asleep one after another.

Ling Yun lay next to Zhang Yu, while Qin Tian leaned against the tiger, using the big tiger's belly as a quilt.

The night passed quickly, and when Qin Tian opened the door first and walked out in the early morning, he was stunned.

Suddenly, the ground was covered with white snow.

Qin Tian slightly frowned, looking at the white sky, and then lowered his head to observe the thick snow covering the ground.

At this time, Ling Yun walked to his side.

"Although we are close to the north, it shouldn't be snowing so heavily at this time."

Ling Yun knelt down and held some snow residue in his hand, grinding it carefully for a while, with a trace of doubt on his face.

At this moment, Zhang Yu poked his head out from behind the door and said with surprise: "It's really weird. There used to be snow here only in winter. What's going on now?"

Qin Tian glanced at Ling Yun and said, "No matter what, let's set off quickly. Since it's starting to snow now, we'll speed up and get to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible, and then collect supplies so that we can climb over these mountains quickly. "

Hearing this, Ling Yun pondered for a moment and then nodded.

So, under Qin Tian's urging, everyone quickly got into the car, and the convoy continued to move forward.

Qin Tianze followed the convoy on a big tiger, commanding the skeletons and patrolling back and forth.

After the heavy snowfall last night, the surrounding scenery was completely white. The snow on the ground could cover a person's calves. The small skeletons trudged hard on the snow, and their speed was undoubtedly much slower than usual. .

The big tiger seemed a little excited about the snow, as if he was having fun, jumping around the convoy, running wildly and roaring loudly.

If Qin Tian hadn't stopped him, the big tiger would have even rolled in the snow.

The sun in the sky soon fell, the snow began to melt, and the speed of the motorcade gradually accelerated. At noon, Xiao Jin's reminder suddenly rang in Qin Tian's ears.

"Host, no wasp-like monsters can be detected around. They may have passed through the territory of those monsters."

"oh."

Qin Tian patted the tiger's butt hard, and the tiger took Qin Tian to the vehicle at the front as if he understood.

"We're out of the territory of that wasp-like monster."

Qin Tian said to Ling Yun who was sitting in the car.

"oh."

Ling Yun nodded, thought for a moment, and then said to Qin Tian: "Let's slow down first and let the skeletons explore the surroundings. If there are no monsters, we will rush to the foot of the mountain and rest. If there are, we will hide first. Let’s take a long-term view.”

"Um."

Qin Tian immediately ordered the skeletons to slow down and sent out sixty skeletons to explore the surroundings.

At dusk, sixty skeletons returned one after another.

No monsters were found.

The convoy immediately accelerated and soon reached the foot of the mountain.
