Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou entered the simulator, selected the Dragon's Heart mission, and directly entered the plot simulation.

He entered the snowfield again, and Lin Wu beside him was helping him move forward one step at a time.

"Lao Ye, if you work harder, we can rest two miles away!"

Ye Zhou took a deep breath. After continuous simulations, he had gradually adapted to the extremely cold climate in the simulator - of course, this adaptation was not about the body becoming cold-resistant, but the willpower to face the cold. become more resilient.

He had never believed that someone could use their mind to fight against physical difficulties, but after experiencing it himself, he discovered that it could indeed be done.

However, in the simulator, the source of his willpower is his firm belief that this is just a simulation. Even if he dies in the simulation, it will not have any impact on his body in reality, so he can do it regardless. Squeeze your body's potential.

But what about those who actually experience extreme cold? Where does their will come from?

Maybe it can only be faith.

The belief that you will never regret it.

Ye Zhou put away his somewhat chaotic thoughts. He broke away from Lin Wu's hand and walked to the side of the road that was completely covered with snow. After peeling away the snow, a small bundle of dry firewood was exposed in front of them.

"I can't rest. Come on, Lao Lin, tie these dry firewood to your feet. This will make walking easier."

What Ye Zhou wants to make is simple sled boots. In the previous simulation, he relied on such sled boots to advance the progress of the snowfield trek from 30% to more than 60% in one fell swoop.

Lin Wu looked at Ye Zhou in surprise and asked:

"Old Ye, how did you know there is dry firewood here? Don't tie me up, let's quickly find a place with leeward wind, sir, make a fire and rest, life is important! If you continue like this, you will really die!"

Lin Wu stepped forward to snatch the firewood from Ye Zhou's hand, but Ye Zhou quickly got past him. He had seen this scene too many times in previous simulations.

"We really can't rest! Our time is too limited. If we don't hurry up now, we will miss the last train. Come on, Lao Lin, hurry up, tie your shoes first, and then bring the remaining firewood with you." Go up, walk five miles further, there is a house left by the hunters, let’s go there to rest!”

Lin Wu glanced at Ye Zhou blankly and asked doubtfully:

"Old Ye, how come you remember it so clearly? It's so white that even I don't know where it is!"

"It's nothing. I saw it from the terrain, and it's not accurate. Hurry up, we will be frozen if we stand for a while longer!"

Lin Wu no longer hesitated. He followed Ye Zhou's movements and quickly tied the sled boots on his legs.

Looking at Ye Zhou again, he saw that he had already picked up a pile of remaining dry firewood and started walking forward.

"Hurry up and catch up!"

Ye Zhou urged.

Lin Wu picked up the remaining firewood on the ground, and after adjusting to the boots on his feet, he staggered to follow Ye Zhou's footsteps.

Looking at the bloated and somewhat stooped figure in front of him, Lin Wu felt mixed emotions.

There are many doubts, but also emotions.

He is obviously just a weak scholar!

Even when doing heavy physical work in the brigade, they often suffer from cramps, heatstroke, and even fainting due to lack of physical strength.

But how does he look like the scholar he was before?

Capable and determined, even though there is ice and snow around him, he is as warm as a fire in his heart.

When he insisted on setting off, he had doubted the other party's motives, but now, he felt that there was nothing to doubt.

People with evil intentions will not risk their own lives, let alone take risks on something that can almost be said to have little hope.

Therefore, he really wants to give what he has to those who need it.

Lin Wu took a few steps and tried to catch up with Ye Zhou, but the opponent was obviously more familiar with the simple boots under his feet than he was. When he walked to the hut left by the hunter he said, he failed to get closer to Ye Zhou. .

Ye Zhou pushed open the wooden door of the hut, and then collapsed on the ground exhausted. Lin Wu, who came from behind, quickly dragged him into the house and closed the door against the strong wind.

"Make a fire quickly."

Ye Zhou trembled and said that his physical strength was close to being exhausted. Every time he reached this point, he had to light a fire and rest. If he forced himself to go on the road, he would not be able to walk more than one kilometer and he would fall into a coma due to exhaustion.

Being unconscious in such a snowfield is actually equivalent to death.

The bonfire was raised, and Ye Zhou's body temperature rose a little. Lin Wu put the dry food and water in his arms on the fire to heat up. The sizzling and oily bean cakes finally awakened Ye Zhou's consciousness. He took advantage of the bean cakes not being fully heated, After three or two bites, he stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. Then he took off his cotton-padded jacket and began to roast his body directly with the flames.

This is the fastest way to raise body temperature that he found after more than 20 previous simulations.

According to his memory, there are three important nodes ahead.

At 50% progress, you will face exhaustion for the second time, and there is no suitable place to rest; at 70% progress, your body temperature will drop below the danger line, and then you will faint due to hypothermia within half an hour; 85% When progressing, you will encounter wolves, and you must have fire. Guns are ineffective. The deterrent effect of gunfire is far less than the deterrent effect of the explosion after the gunpowder in the bullet is poured out.

As for killing wolves and eating meat, there is no need to even think about it.

Ye Zhou had tried it before, but the end result was that he was surrounded by wolves and died.

"Come on, Lao Ye, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

Ye Zhou took the water glass handed over by Lin Wu and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls without caring about scalding his mouth. Then he asked Lin Wu to open the door and fetch the snow from outside and continue to turn it into water.

"Old Lin, there is a pile of stones outside this house. I saw it just now. You go pick a few pieces and put them in the fire to heat up. We will put them in our clothes and go."

The idea of ​​warm stones came from a game called Don't Starve that Ye Zhou played before. It turns out that this is indeed very useful. As long as there are no accidents in the following process, a few warm stones can successfully help him get through the 70% progress. Body temperature danger line.

Lin Wu glanced at Ye Zhou in surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just walked out of the house and retrieved the stone and started heating it.

"Old Ye, after I found out, you really treated me as a servant. You didn't bake the cakes yourself, nor did you pack the snow yourself. Now I even have to do the baking stones."

Ye Zhou smiled and replied a little tiredly:

"Just endure it for now, I have no choice."

"I have to conserve my energy as much as possible. I can't do anything unnecessary."

"I'm different from you. My physical strength is too weak. If you want to get there before the train leaves the station, you have to go all out on the way."

Lin Wu nodded. What he just said was just a joke and he didn't really mind.

The temperature of the stone gradually increased. Ye Zhou tentatively poured some water on it. Seeing the water evaporate instantly, he estimated that the temperature was about the same, so he nodded to Lin Wu.

"Old Ye, this stone is too hot, your cotton clothes will be burned!"

"Don't worry, it won't burn!"

Ye Zhou said firmly.

"Even if it doesn't burn, what should I do if I get burned if I hold you in my arms like this? No, you can't do this! At least you have to wait until the temperature drops a little!"

"Then let it burn!"

Ye Zhou wrapped his hands with his sleeves, grabbed the stone from Lin Wu's hand and stuffed it into his arms, then tied his clothes and opened the door, and walked into the snow without looking back.
