I'm so tired of traveling all the time

After leaving the pond, the two hurried to shore and ran into the small patch of sunshine.

At this time, the two had not completely left the crack in the mountain, but the ice was no longer covering their heads. The sun shone through the cracks above, casting a small patch of warmth on the ground and illuminating the surroundings.

It was bright, warm and windless here, so they quickly took off their wet clothes, dried their bodies with dry towels, and quickly changed into dry clothes.

Wen Liang also put away the wet clothes. The spare winter clothes had been used up, so these could be dried and used again.

Although you may not need such warm clothes later, you will still need them when you leave.

After changing clothes and preparing their equipment, the two set out again. After passing through the ten-meter-long stone corridor, the view in front of them suddenly opened up!

The two appeared on a platform halfway up the mountain. The sun was shining on the ground and a cold wind was blowing. The scenery in the distance was in full view, including various old factories and steel bridges in the valley below.

Whoosh! !

With a soft "dong" sound, an arrow pierced into the two people's feet, waking up the two people who were looking out.

Laura reacted quickly as well. She took the bow, turned around, drew the bow and aimed, all in one go.

Wen Liang was startled, but did nothing else. He turned around and looked at the girls who were also drawing their bows and aiming at each other.

Her red hair was tied into a scorpion tail braid, and she was wearing a tight hunter outfit. She held a bow in her hand and aimed, and there was a quiver on her back.

If you look closely, you can see that her eyes are light blue, and the pupil color is not very obvious. Her eyes are sharp and her movements are clean and neat. You can tell at a glance that she is another girl like Laura!

Laura saw that the person opposite her was a girl, and she was someone she had seen outside before. It was when the two of them first encountered the people from the Holy Trinity in the valley that the Holy Trinity patrol was chasing this girl and her companions.

Laura was the first to put down her bow and arrow, "We are not your enemies."

Sophia, the red-haired girl, said grimly, "I'm not buying it that easily. You were the ones who killed those people?"

Laura knew who Sofia was talking about, "We killed them to survive, and I guess you did too."

These words made Sophia let down her guard slightly, and the bow in her hand slowly dropped.

Seeing this, Laura began to ask about her concerns with confidence, “How long have they been here?”

Sophia's tone softened a lot. "It's been... a few days. The invaders have captured many of us. You'd better leave now, leave quickly."

"I can't do this. I'm here for something important." Laura said frankly.

And Sophia, hearing this, was about to raise her bow and arrow again, "So are they!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get tense again, Wen Liang immediately came to Laura and said, "We are different from those people, you should know that. If they get that thing, the entire human society will fall into the abyss... and we can help and resist them together!"

If we could enter the geothermal valley through Sofia, we would suffer less, but Sofia doesn't seem to trust others easily.

"Together? We can resist them ourselves! Since you are enemies with those people, leave now. If I see you again, I will shoot an arrow through your throat!"

Laura walked out from behind Wen Liang and said sincerely, "I hope to have the opportunity to prove to you that I am not your enemy..."

Boom! !

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden explosion in the factory building below, and flames shot up into the sky, allowing the three people halfway up the mountain to see it clearly.

The two were attracted by the sound, and Laura couldn't guess what it was, "What happened over there... huh?"

When I turned around, Sophia had disappeared.

"She has left. It seems that there are still some natives, or remnants, here. Their existence may be related to the sacred source we are looking for."

Wen Liang’s words made Laura ponder. Although she felt that it made sense, they still needed to look for it themselves. After all, the girl didn’t seem to trust outsiders!

"Maybe. We still have to look for it by ourselves, and we have to find it before Trinity finds it!" Laura said, also trying to encourage herself.

The two walked to the edge of the mountain and found a bonfire behind the rocks nearby. It seemed that the red-haired girl had rested here.

It was almost noon, so the two of them made lunch by the campfire.

Moreover, the temperature here is obviously higher than the ice and snow outside. Although it is not warm yet, there is no need to wear winter clothes.

The two took off their winter clothes, and Wen Liang took out some light and warm clothes to change into, which made them feel much more comfortable.

While eating, Wen Liang took out several sets of winter clothes that he had changed out of earlier and dried them by the fire for future use.

During this period, Laura prepared some therapeutic potions for Wen Liang and placed them in the storage space for experiments to see if the efficacy of the medicine could be preserved.

After lunch, they rested for a while and looked at the Soviet factory buildings below. Most of them were buildings from the Cold War era. They had been abandoned for a long time and were now occupied by the people of Trinity.

"There is a cableway here. I guess it was set up by the tribe of the girl just now. You can see there are many more below. It makes it much more convenient to go up and down the valley."

Laura came to the edge of the cliff, where a rope went from the wooden stakes on the platform to the valley below. The rope was as thick as a child's arm, and it was very smooth, as if it had been soaked in some kind of grease, so that when sliding, it was smooth and caused as little wear as possible to the rope, extending its service life.

"Come on, how about I try it first!" After saying that, without waiting for Wen Liang to tie the safety rope, he jumped out of the edge of the cliff holding a steel mountaineering pick!

After getting close to the cableway, he quickly placed the mountaineering pick on it, held on with both hands, and slid down quickly!

That speed is not much slower than jumping directly!

Wen Liang was horrified by what he saw, but there was really no other good solution, so he opened his eyes, stomped his feet, and slid down the cable car with the same mountaineering pick!

During the rapid descent, Wen Liang opened his mouth but nothing came out to shout. Instead, the strong wind blew into his mouth and he almost coughed!

His body suddenly froze, and his hands almost fell off! Wen Liang was also startled, and quickly clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

As he was about to reach the ground, Wen Liang imitated Laura and suddenly released his mountaineering pick when he was close to the ground. At the same time, he curled up his body and rolled to the ground...

Plop!

The landing was not perfect, but fortunately it landed safely.

"Are you going to be okay?" Laura walked over and pulled Wen Liang up from the bushes, trying not to laugh, "I thought you would land safely."

"I didn't expect my butt to be more anxious than my feet." Wen Liang joked after getting up, "But now I think I have found the technique, and I will definitely land perfectly if I try again!"

"I'm really looking forward to your next performance~"

"You won't be disappointed."

The two checked their equipment, walked forward along the dirt path, and soon saw the wall of the equipment factory.

"Be careful, the people from the Holy Trinity have occupied this place, and they may appear at any time. Don't hesitate if you see them. I know what kind of people they are, and I believe you have seen it clearly too!"
