Chapter 312: The Winter Frontline, Meeting Old Fans Again(1/3)
Winter supply area.
It snows heavily here all year round and the wind is freezing cold.
After walking out of the airport, Feng Qi led Mu Qing and Lu Yue to the winter supply area under the heavy snow.
Look up at the sky.
Without the light pollution in the city, the night sky here is dotted with stars, forming a stunning and beautiful starry sky. The Milky Way appears in front of you like a bead curtain, and the vast stars seem to be within reach.
In the winter supply area, Fengqi is no stranger to it.
But for Mu Qing and Lu Yue, things here feel very novel to them, especially the beautiful scenery here.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everything seems quiet and natural.
"I thought the front line was a cruel killing field, but I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful scene." Mu Qing murmured to herself at this time.
"You'll get used to it after seeing it too much." Feng Qi smiled.
After walking for a while along the route leading to the supply area, they came to a functional store.
Opening the door, the wind chimes sounded.
There is heating inside the house, which is like a completely different world from the cold outside.
After entering the door, what is in front of you is a large number of weapons and equipment on the shelves, many of which are covered in rust and are not completely new.
Seeing these weapons, Lu Yue's expression changed slightly:
"I feel a lot of residual aura on these weapons, and they seem to have had many owners."
Feng Qi nodded at this moment:
"You haven't seen the cruel side of the front line. Most of the weapons placed here have experienced multiple owners. After their former owners die, they will be put on the shop for sale, and then the amount obtained from the sale will be used as additional pensions.
They will be returned to their families in name."
"I have been on the front line for a long time, and I have seen a weapon change its owner eight times in one year."
After hearing these words, Lu Yue's eyes changed slightly, but they were quickly suppressed.
During the conversation, a staff member who was working in a stall in the store walked over quickly.
This is a middle-aged man with a full face and beard, wearing a white coat with oil stains on it.
Seeing Feng Qi and the other three, he immediately apologized and said:
"A batch of battle-damaged weapons just arrived. They are being inspected and repaired, waiting to be put on the shelves. I didn't notice your arrival. I'm sorry... By the way, what equipment do you want to buy?"
Faced with the inquiry, Feng Qi immediately stated his purpose:
"Boss, I need three sets of ski equipment, three sets of convenient tents, searchlights..."
While he was telling the story, the boss kept nodding and taking notes, then turned around and entered the cubicle.
As for why these devices are needed, the reason has to do with the difference in time.
In the last timeline, the time when he went to look for his old fans was a few years later, when Mu Qing had also graduated. At that time, the strategy target for the Winter Supply Area had arrived at the area where the Mist Realm was located.
But at this point in time, he checked the information and found that the main road in the supply area had not yet been paved in the direction of the foggy realm.
Without the main road, subsequent roads cannot be accessed by car, and can only be accessed by skiing or walking.
In addition, there are many environmental issues that we must face as we move forward.
Especially since there are no signal towers along the way, it is very possible to get lost in the heavy snow.
The related props he purchased in the function store are all for better access to the foggy field.
After waiting for a long time, the store owner came from the stall pulling a cart.
On the cart is a large metal box with various props neatly arranged inside.
After paying the payment, the store owner originally wanted to help with door-to-door delivery, but Mu Qing refused:
"Boss, we don't have a place to stay yet, can you help me install two straps on the box?"
Hearing these words, the boss suddenly showed a surprised expression:
"You want to carry it on your back?"
"Yes." Mu Qing nodded immediately.
The boss was surprised when he heard these words, but did not ask. After all, the physiques of domain warriors were different from ordinary people. Living in the supply chain, he had obviously seen how strong the physiques of warriors were.
But when he saw Mu Qing easily grabbing the metal box and carrying it behind her back, the store owner was still shocked.
Obviously, it was impossible to imagine that Mu Qing's thin body contained such terrifying power.
After leaving the functional store, Feng Qi took Mu Qing and the two of them towards the rental store.
Traveling the entire distance on foot will greatly extend the journey time, and transportation is a necessary guarantee to get to the Mist Field.
It is very troublesome to transport vehicles from Star City to the Winter Supply Area, so it is obviously more suitable to rent them on site.
The rental store is located in a relatively prosperous area of the Winter Supply Area, and there are gradually more and more pedestrians along the way.
Compared with the city, passers-by here are wearing equipment and carrying weapons.
The need to carry weapons and equipment with you in the supply area is a lesson learned from history.
The supply area is adjacent to the domain field and is the area most vulnerable to attacks by creatures that transcend the domain.
While frontline warriors are exploring and conquering the domain, there are often domain-transcending creatures leaving the domain and arriving.
Crises are always there.
Being fully armed is to cope with possible emergencies, and it is also a guarantee for your own safety.
Walk east along the main road.
A convoy approaching from a distance, carrying soldiers with tired eyes and blood stained bodies, passed by with suppressed cries of pain.
The heavy snow quickly covered up the traces of the passing wheels.
Every year, a large number of fresh blood come here with longing for the future and want to work for the rise of mankind.
But most of them are corpses wrapped in iron clothes. They can only use the form of a tomb to prove that they have lived and struggled.
Time is like a ruthless sword, cutting off many people's traces in history.
But there is a spirit that is always passed down.
Sadness and anger are the catalysts for soldiers to move from immaturity to maturity.
Arriving at the busy section of the southern district of the Winter Supply Area, the road here uses snow-melting materials. The snowflakes that fall to the ground will melt instantly and then flow into the sewer wells on the street.
Come to the rental store.
The area here is very large, with various large-scale transportation tools and weapons neatly arranged in rows.
The staff who heard the commotion immediately came forward to receive them.
After explaining his intention, Feng Qi went to the counter and signed the rental agreement. After paying the deposit, he successfully rented a high-power functional snowmobile.
After driving out of the driveway on the side of the rental shop.
Feng Qi drove the snowmobile onto the main road.
The night was getting dark, so he didn't want to waste time and drove straight to the mist field.
An hour later, the "Winter Supply Area" sign passed by and they drove onto the main road leading to the field.
The bright lights behind him gradually faded away.
Everything along the way is covered in silver, and the vast Milky Way hangs in the sky, which is so beautiful.
The temperature inside the car was low, and the air exhaled turned into white mist.
But this issue is not worth mentioning for Feng Qi, Mu Qing, and Lu Yue. They don't even need to turn on the air conditioning in the car.
Through the vehicle positioning system, they constantly correct the direction of travel.
The road leading to the field is not a straight line, there will be branching routes along the way.
When viewed from a high altitude, it can be seen that the Winter Supply Area towards the north is like a growing tree, constantly branching out, leading to fields in different areas.
This road is lengthened every year, but frontline soldiers pay the price with their lives for every inch of lengthening.
Along the way, Feng Qi and Lu Yue chatted about Tianshu.
When he talked about the situation of Tongtian Road mentioned by Tianshu, Lu Yue finally admitted the relevant facts that he came from Tongtian Road and said similar words to Tianshu.
Feng Qi can completely understand Lu Yue's confidentiality.
From a normal perspective, he has already told the secret of traveling through the timeline, and Lu Yue should also reveal his biggest secret.
But Lu Yue was different.
Through contact with multiple timelines, he knew that Lu Yue was a rigid guy who accepted death.
Since I have sworn an oath, I will protect it with my life to the end.
During this period, he will not go against what he believes in because of any unexpected circumstances.
To be continued...
