A clean, steady hand stuck into the frozen soil. With the movement of the palm, the ice was gradually stripped away, revealing some black carbon residue inside. I picked up a handful of carbon residue with my pocket hand and put it in my nose to smell it. I even put out my tongue to gently touch the carbon residue. With a slightly bitter taste on the tip of the tongue, zero already knows how many hours ago it was.
Beside zero, Merlin stood with an axe. The red Archduke's dignified eyes swept over the leeward mountain and asked in a deep voice, "have they ever rested here?"
"I can't be wrong. The coke was five hours ago. And I found something interesting there Zero stood up, and near him were several snow heaps that had been ripped off. One of the snowdrifts was covered with the fur and bones of some mutants, while others were stained with the blood of some creatures.
"If I may ask you, what do those midra worms feed on?" Zero picked up a piece of fur still stained with blood and asked.
Merlin replied, "they can eat almost anything. But midra is very picky, it will only suck the blood of food, is a blood sucking bedbug
Zero's eyes fell on another snowdrift, where were the mummies of some mutants. The muscles of these corpses were all atrophied, and their skin and hair were gray. Obviously, Midla is not so simple as sucking blood. It will suck the essence of food life.
"It's obvious that these kaizelas worms don't like cooked food, so these foods are prepared for other companions." Zero kicked the coke under the kick, and the head of a bear nearby: "if you eat up the whole bear at one time, if you don't have a lot of companions, you are a high-level capable person. Judging from the fact that the rest place does not seem to be messy, it should be the latter. Dear Duke, what do you think of? "
Merlin thought for a moment, then sneered: "it should be the humans who hit our netherrez shield. I was really surprised when I saw that midra had secret contact with them."
"Do you know who is behind these people?"
"I don't know about that. At that time, I only cooperated with them in order to kill you with their hands. Otherwise, I would not go with those dirty guys. "
Zero smile, said: "let's go, maybe we can catch them in time for the next rest, give them a surprise."
"Can you predict their route?"
"It's not hard." "We've been chasing them for four or five days, and it's not hard to judge the distance and the time they need from where they rest each time," zero said. As long as I have this information, I can probably predict where they will rest next. The question is, whose speed is faster. "
"If it's speed, bugs have an advantage over us." Merlin sank.
With their feet, if they are on the ground, they can push about 400 kilometers a day. But in the mountains, because of the influence of the environment and climate, it's very good to push one hundred kilometers a day. On the other hand, because of the flying insects, the speed of midra is faster than that of them. This is absolutely true.
"So we don't have much time, but the traces they left tell me that the physical strength of the red beetle is limited. Every time we fly for four or five hours, we have to take a rest. If we want to catch up with them, I'm afraid we can only hope to catch up with them 24 hours without interruption. "
"Just like this, I have no problem, as for you..."
Zero light way: "don't worry about me, my endurance will not be poor to anyone."
"That's good. I hope you don't become my burden!" Merlin snorted coldly.
The two stopped communicating, and then came the silent journey. When they were on their way, they didn't have any communication. It's usually zero in front of the road, followed by Merlin. This time, zero is no exception. Like a ghost, he runs quietly on the snow in the mountains, leaving only a faint shadow. And the red Dagong is like a flame. No matter how heavy the snow is, it can't blow it out.
Time goes by bit, zero sum Merlin is on his way, and midra and Betsy are not. If tulash mountain is a competition field, then the end point is the North Mountain exit. Whoever gets there first will have the upper hand in the competition. And the key is in time. Whoever takes the shortest time has a chance to win.
It was sunset again, and the beetles began to descend. Sitting on one of the flying insects, Betsy opened her eyes from her false sleep. Bessie has to admit that in the turash mountain environment, the red beetle is really the best means of transportation. Their thick crustaceans can ensure that they are not affected by high-altitude strong winds, while their strong wings are the guarantee of high-altitude flight.
But God opens one window and always closes another.Although red beetles have the rare flight ability of this era, their physical strength is only enough to support four to five hours of flight. When carrying passengers on the back, the time will be reduced by about 20%. Flying in the high-altitude strong wind, their speed is only about ten kilometers per hour, and at night, because of the insect's vision problems, they can not fly, so the insect team can only advance about 150 kilometers every day.
At this speed, it will take them at least five days to reach the turash range.
After three days of rest, Betsy and pedfeni have recovered a lot. One of the best is pedfeni. The huge wound on her chest and abdomen has basically healed, leaving only a reddish scar. As for energy, it has returned to 80% of its peak level, which is enough to cope with any big war.
Becky is not so lucky. His left arm is disabled, which is equivalent to losing about 20% of his combat power. Fortunately, this did not cause his ability level to retrogress, otherwise Betsy would be dead. However, the ash spreader has not been as calm as before. With only 60% or 70% of his energy restored, Betsy can only use the natural disaster fire rain once more, plus one or two disasters, and the power will decrease slightly, which makes Betsy feel very depressed.
In addition to Betsy and pedfeni, there are other passengers on the team
