"Is it snowing?" After Angel flew out of the cave and the cutting, he saw the white frost spots floating in the sky.
Looking around, the earth was indeed covered with a layer of silver makeup.
"I hate snowy days. Especially, snow without sunshine." It was Shuling who was talking. He was looking up at the sky covered by thick clouds.
The figure of the tree spirit is illusory, obviously not real.
After Shuling's words, he didn't hear angel's response for a long time, and looked back in doubt. But he found that angel was not listening to him, but looking at the distance.
The tree spirit followed his sight, but saw a row of black spots like ants on the edge of the vast snow field, moving forward slowly.
That's human, ordinary mortal. There were about two or three hundred people. Everyone was wearing thick clothes, his face was red with cold, and white ice appeared in his hair and eyebrows. However, no one dared to stop and had to keep moving forward.
"Eh, I can still see the refugees of the eternal night country now." The tree spirit tutted twice.
"Are they refugees from the eternal night country?"
Shuling nodded: "yes, you can see from their clothing style. But I remember that the refugees in Yongye country basically fled at the beginning of the year. Why do they still have them now?"
"Maybe not the first batch of refugees." Although the distance is far away, angel can clearly see that some of the refugees are wrapped in fur fur made of animal fur. The fur of these beasts are basically common beasts on the pamighi plateau.
There are also obvious mottling on the fur, indicating that the roughest soil tanning method is used to remove oil and soften leather with some trace elements in saline alkali land. This takes a lot of time and needs to find the right area.
In other words, this group of people spent at least a long time on the pamighi plateau and had a long-lived saline alkali land.
After hearing angel's analysis, Shuling agreed: "I did hear that a small number of refugees from Yongye country directly established settlement life on the pamighi plateau. At that time, I also lamented the adaptability of human beings to the environment."
These people may indeed be those who survive on the plateau.
But now they seem to have moved away from the old land, because each of them carries a lot of salutes, and even trailers, which is obviously migrating.
"Why migrate?" Although angel is asking questions, while asking questions, various answers have begun to appear in his heart.
There are too many variables on the pamighi plateau. For these ordinary mortals, any variable will bring endless danger.
Just like some time ago, the integration of planes led to a large number of spatial dislocations on the pamighi plateau. If extraordinary people are a little careless, they may fall into a state of hopelessness, let alone ordinary people.
Not to mention the variables brought by transcendence, it is difficult to avoid just ordinary situations.
Wild animals, glaciers, diseases, etc., including a cold wind and a seemingly healthy snow, may be the last straw to crush these mortals.
What kind of migration are they?
"If you want to know, just ask." Tree spirit just casually suggested, but unexpectedly, angel really flew to the location of those mortals.
However, angel did not fall into the crowd, but came to the snow field not far behind the crowd.
A girl with frozen limbs and red cheeks is looking at the gray sky with godless eyes, waiting for death here.
"Is it abandoned?" A voice came into the girl's ear. She wanted to see who was talking, but her neck was frozen and couldn't move at all.
"It shouldn't be. The fur on her body hasn't been stripped off. Abandonment should not be considered. Maybe it's just the helpless choice of the human race in the desperate situation."
As the voice fell, the girl heard footsteps coming towards her, and a figure soon appeared in her vision.
A man with red hair.
He squatted slowly beside her, some messy red hair was not stained with any snow.
The girl's thoughts had begun to harden, and there was no time to think about why the snow didn't fall on him. All her attention now is attracted by each other's eyes.
Those are golden pupils.
This light gold is the most beautiful color she has ever seen.
Is it a pre death illusion? Or real? Whatever it is, the girl doesn't care. Anyway, she's dying. It's not too bad to see such a beautiful look before she dies.
When she felt that this might be the last thought of her life, the man's slightly lazy voice sounded in her ear.
"Do you remember your name?"
……
The girl woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes, sat up and looked around.
She seemed puzzled about the warmth of her frozen body. However, she didn't think too much, but slowly stood up and walked towards the front.
She's going to find her people and tell them about her dream.
In her dream, someone told her that as long as she jumped into a bottomless natural graben, that was the way to live!
The girl doesn't know whether the dream is true or false, and doesn't want to judge whether it is true or false. The only idea in her heart now is to convey this information to her people.
Until the girl disappeared in their sight, angel and the tree spirit slowly appeared.
Tree spirit: "it seems that she really thinks she is dreaming."
"It's a blessing to have a dream in such a cruel environment."
What angel said about the cruel environment is not only the heavy snow and dangerous plateau, but also the reason for the migration of this group of people——
Live line infection.
They learned from the girl that they were originally residents of a border town in the eternal night country. Because of the change of the dome of the eternal night country, they came to the pamighi plateau and found a quiet saline alkali land to settle down.
It's not easy to survive on the pamighi plateau. The original settlement of nearly 1000 people has lost two or 300 people in six months due to various reasons.
When they finally settled down, they thought they could live a peaceful life. Encountered the biggest crisis - strange infectious madness, that is, the outbreak of live line.
The outbreak of this live line was so sudden that nearly 50% of the people were infected. Only a few hundred of them escaped and were forced to find new settlements.
On the way, the girl's limbs were frozen stiff, and she had a serious cold and fever. When she had to, she chose to stay where she was and wait quietly for death.
However, unexpectedly, what she ushered in was not death, but angel.
Shuling: "I'll take you to the ruins first. As for the location of her previous settlement, I've informed your mentor."
If you can save it, try to save it. If you can't save it, you have to give up. But even if you give up, you can't let these people leave behind. The vitality of the live line is too strong. If it spreads beyond the pamiji plateau, it will be troublesome.
Angel nodded, "let's go."
