Chapter 51 Wilderness 1

Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the sky.

The vast and endless mountains and fields, the first snow has passed, and the snow is covered. Where is the alien city-state? There is only an endless sky.

However, the coldness was gone. Although Zhang Cheng was wearing a sable fur, he didn't care about the coldness.

There are obvious disadvantages to using card travel. That is, the back and forth state is the same. Ordinary travel is equivalent to a very perfect sleep with it, which can even be used to cause jet lag. However, card travel does not have this benefit. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry and wants to go to the Void Castle for a sleep. When he feels not very tired after moving, he simply put away his chair and set off.

Speaking of which, if you can bring a chair when you go out, you are the Wizard.

With mobile phone navigation, direction is not a problem at all. Zhang Cheng found that his speed of progress was faster than expected. Speaking of which, he had felt that this body - a young scholar in the wilderness era - had much better movement than the body of the earth's otakus. He still remembered that he got off the car and dragged his suitcase on the road, but he didn't walk for too long, so he consumed two pictures to "relieve fatigue". Now, he has been walking on the plateau hills for a long time, and he didn't even breathe. In fact, not only is he not tired, but he also feels more and more excited as he walks.

Of course, this may be because the surrounding scenery is really good.

In fact, as long as it is a place where people are rarely visited, there will naturally be a natural beauty. Of course, the premise is that you must have enough mood to feel this beauty.

Zhang Cheng had already started climbing a mountain and wanted to go straight to climb over the mountain. It was simple to say, but when he reached the top of the mountain, the sky suddenly turned dark, and a very common mountain storm came.

Zhang Cheng had heard of this kind of thing before. As the altitude increases, God's face will actually become faster and faster. Just now, the sun was shining brightly, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were all in his eyes. In a blink of an eye, it was already wind and snow. The strong wind swept through the snowflakes, coming with a overwhelming momentum.

If it weren't for this comfortable cloak, Zhang Cheng would probably have the best choice to hide in the Void Castle for a while. However, this cloak was unexpectedly good. The strong cold wind blew close to his body and immediately turned into a harmless breeze. The surging snowflakes seemed to deliberately avoid him, and there were almost few pieces that could fall on him. In short, it was neither cold nor wet, and there was nothing to be afraid of in the wind and snow, at most it would just block the vision.

Zhang Cheng also took out the thermometer and looked at it. The thermometer was held in his hand and showed the temperature at 16 degrees, but placed it a little farther away, showing the temperature at minus 25 degrees. When it was not a blizzard just now, the temperature was about minus 10 degrees. This temperature difference... This cloak is simply the dividing line between heaven and hell.

"This thing is really useful." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not only easy to use, it's also durable." The bear's voice suddenly rang out. "It has a very large capacity."

“Very large capacity?”

"Simply put, it stores a lot of energy and can withstand the loss of power in the demon-free environment... Tsk tsk, I should have considered this situation specifically. It can be used for at least several months," said the bear. "You can use it with confidence."

This world is barren and thirsty, and will devour all supernatural powers. Any magical item exposed is equivalent to starting to consume, and after a little longer, it will consume its service life. This cloak obviously has stronger resistance to this environment.

It was estimated that it was half an hour before, maybe a little longer, and the blizzard stopped. The bare mountain in front of me had already accumulated a thick layer of snow. There seemed to be only a piece of white between the world...and so on, it seemed to be a bit special.

Under normal circumstances, human eyes are extremely difficult to distinguish this tiny color, but it cannot withstand the same color of the world at this moment, so the blue and green colors look particularly eye-catching. Zhang Cheng was just curious at first, but after getting closer, he realized that something was wrong. This is not an ordinary color, this is camouflage!

Indeed, at this moment, under a large stone, a body in a camouflage was curled up into a ball.

Zhang Cheng was shocked. He first looked around and was sure that there was no one around him, and then he walked closer. He shouldn't have been surprised. He originally thought he would encounter a corpse that had been frozen and hard, but in fact he met a living person.

It was a young woman, wearing camouflage clothes outside and sweater inside. Although the camouflage clothes were particularly thick, they would be too thin for this place. She had short hair, her face was already gray, her lips were cyanotic, and her body skin felt terrible. But she was still breathing faintly.

Although Zhang Cheng is comfortable and comfortable, it is fine to rush through the blizzard. That's because the temperature around his body is around 16 degrees. And the temperature outside is around minus ten degrees below zero. Not to mention the blizzard just now - this snow is completely freezing to death. In fact, this point is about to be realized. Although Zhang Cheng lacks medical knowledge, at least he understands that this girl is already seriously frostbite. Without special rescue equipment and personnel, it probably won't last long. Even with special equipment and personnel, it will have to leave lifelong damage.

There was no one around, and although the sun in the sky was bright, it was already dusk.

The sun sets on the plateau hills a little earlier than expected.

In the endless darkness, a ball of flame rises. Fire is the first step for humans to conquer nature. Even today, it is still a powerful weapon for humans to face nature. The meaning of fire in darkness is far from being as simple as flame itself. For humans, having fire is equivalent to having light, warmth and food.

The woman opened her eyes in a daze and saw the bonfire that was pounding in front of her. She was warm because the fire was on the front, but there was a burst of coldness behind her, which seemed to be eroding her internal organs. She subconsciously wanted to approach the fire, and then suddenly realized that she was in a strange place. What's going on? Where is this?

She remembered that before she lost consciousness, there was the blizzard. The blizzard finally stopped easily, but she really didn't even have the strength to stand up. That feeling... was no longer as cold as a knife. Instead, she felt comfortable and warm all over, but she couldn't raise her strength. She instinctively wanted to sleep. When she woke up, she found that she was already here.

Although the back was chilling, when all the limbs and hands recovered, she used her hands and feet to get up, and then saw the stranger in the shadow on the side of the bonfire.

The stranger was a little far from the bonfire, and most of his figures were hidden in the shadow of the fire. He couldn't see who he was. She reached out to her waist, and then she remembered that her love gun had long disappeared.

"You woke up?" The other party spoke, a male voice. Then the stranger stood up and walked a few steps towards this side. However, although the distance was a little closer, when the swaying flames were not actually a good source of light, he still couldn't see the person clearly. "Why are you alone here? If I hadn't happened to find out, you would have frozen to death in the snow."

"I... that..." The woman felt a wonderful sense of dissonance. When the other party stood up and talked, she realized that there was only one person here. In other words, she was really saved. "Did you save me?"

"Well, that's right." The stranger replied. "What's your name? Why are you here?"

"My name is Nanxiang," the woman who called herself Nanxiang took a half step forward. This half step completely tear open the veil of all shadows, and saw the strange man in front of her clearly. She was really surprised because the one in front of her was not a middle-aged uncle as she expected. The stranger looked very young, and it can be said that he was a little too young. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old at most. In fact, if you say that he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he believed it. He was not tall and dressed very strange. He had long hair that was rare for men, and his dark hair was dripping backwards. To be honest, he was not like a person who went out to travel at all. Long hair was more likely to hide dirt and parasites. His clothes were even more wonderful. Except for the fur coat outside, the other dresses were completely abnormal, unlike the clothing of any ethnic group around this place. Of course, the most confusing thing was the sword he wore at his waist.

Nowadays... are there anyone wearing this kind of sword?

It is true that you are away from home, whether it is self-defense, hunting, or to handle ingredients, you have to bring a knife. But the one wearing this person is obviously not a tool of this type... This is... a real, ancient style sword.

He wore long hair and wore a strangely equipped ancient sword... he could only say he was a very strange person. Under the firelight, the other party's black eyes were full of spirit, reflecting bright light like stars, full of inexplicable mystery.

"My name is Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng replied. "Why did you come here? There is no luggage, and there is only one person."

"I was taken hostage by someone," Nan Xiang replied. "I found a chance to escape in the middle of the journey. Unfortunately, I encountered a blizzard. Who are you?"

"I, I am just a traveler, and I happened to pass by here." Zhang Cheng replied lightly. This is a very obvious lie. This mountainous area is quite dangerous in winter. The traveler and ghosts don't believe it. "I met you."

Nan Xiang moved her hands and feet and found that everything was fine. She looked at Zhang Cheng, looked around again, and found that there was nothing.

In this place, it is impossible to have no luggage. If you want to be a traveler here, you either have to carry a large package, a mule and a horse, or at least a bicycle, motorcycle and other vehicles to carry various clothing, tents and supplies. However... you can't see any luggage in the range of your vision, or in the range of fire.

In other words... are they all fake? Just pretending to be like this to deceive me? What a crappy scam! Nan Xiang's eyes suddenly became cold.

"By the way, Zhang Cheng, may I ask you..." Nan Xiang took a step closer and suddenly reached out to grab the hilt of the ancient sword. Suddenly, her movements were quicker. She could have pulled the ancient sword into her hand. But at the last moment when she touched the hilt of the ancient sword, Zhang Cheng's hand naturally stretched out and blocked the hilt of the sword. Turning the sudden sword-grabbing action into a harmless high-five.

With a "bang", Nan Xiang's final result was to shoot a shot on the back of Zhang Cheng's hand, but he had lost the opportunity to seize the sword.

Although it was just a very simple action, she immediately understood that this person was not simple. No matter who he was, he must be a trainer. Because this reaction speed and agility movement exceeded the level of ordinary people.

"Hey..." Zhang Cheng frowned slightly. This woman is too rude. He could understand that the other party was curious when he looked at his sword, but it would be too rude to grab it like this. Speaking of which, maybe he should have changed to the body of the Earth Otaku, but now it is too late.

Nan Xiang took a step back, and she thought the other party would attack her. But in the end the other party did nothing and just sat down next to the fire.

An awkward silence filled the air, only the flames were making a slight "crackling" sound.

"That..." Nan Xiang found that the other party did not intend to attack her, so she took the initiative to speak. "Can you give me some food?"

In any case, no matter what this guy wanted to do, she had to keep her physical strength. He noticed a shelf next to the campfire and a small pot on it. But the pot was empty. It was probably that when she was unconscious, the other party had already eaten it.

Zhang Cheng thought about it and got up and left, and walked into the darkness. He couldn't see where he went, but he came back soon, holding a small animal as big as a cat in his hand. But he couldn't recognize what kind of animal it was.

"Troubleshoot yourself." Zhang Cheng threw a knife over. If the woman performed well, he might have taken out some more convenient food, but now he is just used to deal with these animals. In order to read the Sand value issue of the Book of Wizards, he caught many small beasts in the wild, the biggest of which was a black bear. However, in fact, they were not useful at all, so they became useless burdens. It would be nice to take this opportunity to deal with such useless cards.

But what should I do with this woman named Nanxiang? It seems that if she leaves her carelessness, she should die here soon. Alas, the so-called saving people to the end, sending Buddha to the West. For the time being, take her with her and go back to China all the way. Naturally, there are many opportunities after returning to China.

Unexpectedly, this woman had a high skill level in survival in the wild. Because Zhang Cheng watched her quickly turn the snow into water in a pot, and at the same time killed the small animals, peeled them, discarded the internal organs, and cut them into small pieces after washing them. Some of the meat was found on the edges and tied them up and roasted them on the fire, while the other part was cooked in a pot. Although there was no tableware, she first used the lid of the pot to hold some water, and then grabbed them with her hands without hesitation.

Soon, all the little beasts fell into their stomachs. After Nan Xiang finished eating, she cleaned the pot and knife... Although there was no dishwashing liquid or dishwashing cloth, she could only wash it with snow water and hand.

By the way, Zhang Chuang felt that if the other party asked him for seasonings, he would give the other party some salt. But the other party didn't ask for anything and just finished the food. All signs told him that this woman had received special training.

"Why are you being held hostage?" After she finished eating and seemed to have stabilized her emotions, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Are you a Republican?" Nan Xiang did not answer directly, but asked a question. This black hair and dark eyes, judging from the body shape and appearance, is undoubtedly a Republican.

"No." Zhang Cheng replied lightly.
