Lin Xian stood on the track wheel, scanning the area, finding that besides Shi Deyuan’s team, there were at least four or five other mbers of survivor caravans here, totaling over two hundred people, seemingly all trapped in this place.
"Brother Shi, what’s going on?" Lin Xian asked.
Shi Deyuan rubbed his brow with a headache, looked at Lin Xian, and said helplessly, "Brother Lin, I’m really sorry, we’ve caused you trouble again. Now that you’re here, we all have to be comrades through adversity. We’ve been stuck here for two days without breaking out, losing quite a few people. If we don’t get reinforcents from the Phoenix Society, we might all end up here."
"Here’s the thing, Sister Ning, Captain Lin." The fat man Fat Cat behind Shi Deyuan was wearing a thick fur coat, looking very bloated, with frost-resistant goggles, his face frozen red as he explained to the group.
"When we received the distress signal and ca here, this place was like freakin’ Hell. This Phoenix Society seed to be secretly experinting with a giant cha here, but sothing went amiss. Most of their people died, including an ard company of over a hundred and a navigation transport group. They were wiped out. When we arrived, Brother Qian and his team had already held the line for a night, only to find themselves in a dead zone from which there’s no exit."
"Oh right, Brother Lin, Ning Jing, let introduce you to a few brother caravans facing life and death together. Although we’ve only known each other for two days, everyone has made up their minds to die here together, haha."
Shi Deyuan seed completely unfazed by the negative feelings of being trapped in a dead zone. Upon ntioning this, he imdiately waved at a particularly delicately dressed man in the crowd, covered in thick mink fur, and said, "Qian Deli, captain of the Joker Team, an absolute expert, impressively capable. Thanks to his people, our caravans have managed to hold on till now."
"His team has a Flying Superpower User who already went to Xilan City for reinforcents at dawn, so we thought you were bringing people from Xilan City."
"Brother Qian," Shi Deyuan said, introducing the man called Qian Deli.
"Ning Jing, Ah Bai, Xiao Qing, these three are from my caravan. These two are the ones I ntioned before, who proposed the towing plan at Yu Bei Airport. Lin Xian, Brother Lin, this is his sister, I think her na is KIKI, right..."
Sister?
Upon hearing this, KIKI was about to speak when she saw the man nad Qian Deli scrutinizing Lin Xian, and said,
"My heavens, you’re the young hero Lao Shi ntioned who saved tens of thousands of people, but now that I see you... you look quite ordinary."
Lin Xian and KIKI shivered instantly, not because of what he said, but because of the man’s intense flamboyance when speaking. He liked pressing a hand to his chest when speaking, matched with his extravagant mink fur cloak, exuding an air of a noblewoman. Among the dozens of people present, Qian Deli was the only one who didn’t look like he’d been running from an apocalypse for months.
"Don’t get wrong, I’m straightforward and dislike beating around the bush," Qian Deli said aloud, "But charging in here alone requires so guts, albeit a bit reckless. Now you’re just like us, waiting for rescue obediently."
KIKI shivered directly in response and frowned, "Why can’t we get out, just like we ca in, we should be able to leave."
"Easier said than done. Do you think we didn’t try?" Another caravan leader was a middle-aged man wearing a heavily modified industrial power armor, who spoke, "Did you see that big Black Insect just now? It’s guarding us, and if we leave this area, thousands of monsters might swarm us, and that’s during the day. At night, these creatures are far worse."
"These Snow Demons and the four-legged Snow Demons move incredibly fast at night, and they can gnaw through even the thickest armor..." soone from another caravan said.
"The key is that big Black Insect," Shi Deyuan looked at Lin Xian and Ning Jing, and said solemnly, "Even if we escape, Dragon Mountain No.1 and Infinity can’t hold it back."
Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, "Then why aren’t we being attacked if we stay here?"
"According to Team Leader Yu, it’s because he’s sheltering us," Shi Deyuan gave a thumbs up and pointed above to No.1 Machine, then signaled towards the right arm of No.1 Machine braced on the ground, revealing a massive folding high-frequency blade chain sword on the heavy wrist armor, covered in green blood plasma frozen into frost.
"Did you see it when you arrived? An enormous creature was taken down by this chain sword!"
Ning Jing’s face turned horrified, "You an that dead Black Worm?"
"Looks like you encountered it."
"So you’re saying the reason it won’t approach this line is because... it fears the cha?" Lin Xian frowned and asked.
"Otherwise?"
The man nad Qian Deli spoke in a high-pitched voice, crossing his arms, "Cute guy, do you think we’re here for the love of watching the snow?"
He gestured towards the vast snowfield in the distance, "That big black bug keeps guard outside, and our vehicles have charged several tis, but we’ve lost a lot of people. If we could leave, we would’ve been out long ago~"
