After the fog, I became a birdman

After a few bowls of hot soup, eat half a piece of hot roasted snow rabbit meat, connect a pot of hot water to wipe your face and soak your feet, and you will be warm enough to sweat.

Even if they didn't live in a warm little cliff, they don't have to be afraid of not being able to sleep well after warming their hands and feet and lying in the warm long yak quilt.

They slept for twelve hours, and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The wind and snow outside blocked most of the sight again. The wind howled and the snow flew wildly. Su Qing took out the thermometer and put it at the entrance of the cave.

The blizzard is approaching, and they have decided to take shelter in this cave first, and they don't know if the people at the Fengcheng base have found a shelter from the wind.

Thinking that Shanshan was still in the team, Su Qing felt relieved just last night because the fireball danger zone did not continue to expand.

In the past, Su Qing and the others also followed the Yuhe River to move below the waterfall, and the survey team did the same. Everyone didn't know the situation above and downstream of the waterfall. It is still unknown whether there is a suitable place for so many people to escape from the snowstorm nearby.

Even if she finds a suitable shelter from the wind, Su Qing is not at ease, and thinks it is better to keep the child by her side.

In the cave, Qi Jiang was checking whether any of the stalactites on his head were unstable due to the previous earthquakes and sound waves.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. Once you check, you will be shocked. Some of the stalactites in the cave have really cracked. If there is another sound wave and earthquake, maybe some stalactites will really fall down.

Qi Jiang hurriedly took out the dragon horn knife to cut off the cracked stalactites. Seeing Su Qing coming in with a frown, he flew to the ground with some puzzlement: "Susu, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to take Shanshan over." Su Qing sat by the fire and stirred the broth in the pot, "Let's escape this snowstorm first."

"She may not be willing to leave Shantu." Qi Jiang knew in his heart that Shanshan usually returned home because Shantu was safe and sound. Now that everyone is migrating, Shanshan must be worried about leaving Shantu.

It was only when Su Qing understood this that she felt entangled: "But she is so small, she might be blown away when the wind blows."

"Didn't Tan Yilong and the others say to find a shelter from the wind and take everyone to build a snow house?" Qi Jiang came over and sat next to Su Qing, and took away the fire stick in his hand, "We can go to help the mountain Mountains make snow houses."

Su Qing knew that what Qi Jiang said was right, but he just couldn't rest assured, feeling a little confused in his heart, while sighing, he took the fire stick in his hand and stirred the flames in the stove. Seeing this, Qi Jiang reluctantly put a few sticks Chai went in to play with him, then got up to deal with his stalactites.

After finishing the Chinese meal, Su Qing packed half a roasted snow rabbit meat and a cup of hot soup: "I'll bring some food to Shan Shan."

Qi Jiang has already taken down all the cracked stalactites, and is improving their ventilation environment. Hearing this, he came down from the rock wall, wiped his hands with hot water and put on the clothes and gloves he went out with: "I'll go too."

"Which direction did Zhou Chen go to find shelter from the wind yesterday?"

"North."

Their cave is on the west side, and the direction is different, but when Su Qing came over last night, he didn't find any suitable shelter for everyone nearby.

In other words, there is no suitable place for so many people to take shelter from the wind. If you take shelter from the snowstorm separately, you may find a few such places.

After the last eruption of the magma area, there were only a little over 200 million people left in the Fengcheng base, and two-thirds of the people died under the fireball. If no place to escape the blizzard was found, it is unknown how many people would die .

After a while, Qi Jiang put on his shoes and hat, checked the clothes on his body, and looked at Su Qing's clothes. After confirming that their protection was very comprehensive, he said, "Let's go."

"Aww~"

Jin Jin also ran out and wanted to go with them. Su Qing glanced at the wind and snow outside, then turned his head and touched Jin Jin's feathers: "It's snowing too much outside, you stay here, I'll go with your uncle."

"Go back and enjoy the fire." Qi Jiang also persuaded.

Jin Jin glanced at the white snow outside, and finally returned to the cave obediently.

They spent some time on the road, and when they found the new camp of the migration team, it was getting dark again. Zhou Chen had already returned to the team, and was currently discussing with Tan Yilong, Captain Zhou and others how to avoid the snowstorm.

Many people in the camp are seven or eight people sitting on a fire, and everyone eats and sleeps in turns, so that there is no need to worry about danger while sleeping.

Su Qingfei landed in a relatively wide place outside the camp, went to the crowd and dug up the mountain that was sleeping by the fire, the little guy opened his eyes slightly, and continued to sleep after smelling Su Qing.

Shantu was also awakened, seeing that it was Su Qing, he went back to sleep in peace.

Qi Jiang found a place to take out the previous tent and set it up, and when Su Qing brought Shanshan over, he took out the barbecue and soup.

Shan Shan, who was sleeping soundly in Su Qing's arms, smelled the strong smell of meat, his little nose couldn't help moving, and he opened his eyes quickly, licked his little tongue and looked at the barbecue on the ground.

"Meow?"

"Eat it, I brought it for you." Su Qing smiled and took the soup cup over, "Warm your stomach first."

When the little guy was eating, Su Qing thoughtfully helped her wipe off the remaining white snow on her fur.

Snow was flying outside, and the simple tent made of animal skins was rattling by the wind. Qi Jiang took out a map and marked every place he had been to with a pen.

"Shanshan, did you say where you will be staying tomorrow?"

The blizzard will arrive the day after tomorrow. If you don’t want to be exposed to the blizzard, you must stop and prepare for the blizzard tomorrow, otherwise everyone will have a hard time.

Shanshan, who was buried in her food, also knew how severe the snowstorm was, but she didn't know where to stay at the moment, so she shook her head in confusion.

Su Qing was already ready to build an igloo, but he didn't expect to stop, and suddenly became worried again: "Then you and Shantu go to our cave and hide for a while."

He didn't persuade Shanshan to leave the mountain map, and he just brought people there too.

Although he wasn't used to being disturbed by outsiders, he could bear it for just a day or two.

Shanshan swallowed the meat in his mouth, hesitated, and did not agree immediately, Qi Jiang frowned: "Is there any problem?"

"Meow meow~" the little guy began to point fingers.

The familiar "you draw, I guess" game started to play in the tent again. Qi Jiang and Su Qing guessed halfway, when there were familiar footsteps and Tan Yilong's voice outside.

"Ms. Su, Mr. Qi, are you there?"

Qi Jiang, who was sitting by the door, lifted the animal hide and went out: "Is there something wrong?"

Tan Yilong explained softly that it turned out that Zhou Chen had found some shelters in the north, but they could only accommodate 50 people at most. It happened that Qi Jiang went to the west yesterday, so he wanted to ask if there were any suitable shelters there. , when the time comes, you can separate to avoid the blizzard, and just reunite after the blizzard is over.

Qi Jiang flew very slowly when he was looking for a place yesterday, so he knew the west side better. Because he was worried that Zhou Chen could not find a suitable large-scale shelter from the wind, he also marked some places on his map just now, so maybe Can give a reference.

Originally, he wanted to go to Tan Yilong after bidding, but he didn't expect him to come to the door early.

Qi Jiang went back to the tent and took out the map, and took a pen to write on it: "I only found seven or eight places, and they probably can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but I haven't calculated the exact number."

He was just looking for a more comfortable place for his home yesterday, he didn't look carefully at some sheltered places that were exposed to the wind, and passed by in a hurry, so naturally he couldn't figure it out.

There are shelters in both directions that can accommodate several 10 people, but there are currently 200 million people left, and the monsters will definitely compete for the shelter, which means that at least half of the people will have to face it. greater danger.

In the past few days, there have been explosions in the magma area, and the sound waves often cause avalanches. After a few days, the snow on the mountain is now invincible, but it is hard to say when the blizzard comes.

Therefore, the shelters they chose were very strict, which resulted in so few suitable places. If everyone could not survive the blizzard in the best shelter from the wind, then only some people could go to the next-level shelter from the wind.

"Then we can only let everyone dig tunnels." Tan Yilong sighed.

"Digging a tunnel is also a way. At least you don't have to worry about people being buried after the snow house collapses after the avalanche, but the air in the tunnel will be limited, so you have to find someone who is not afraid of the avalanche to guard it." Qi Jiang made a suggestion.

"I know." Tan Yilong put away the map, "Then don't disturb the teacher."

"Ah."

Back in the tent, the game of drawing and guessing is over, Shan Shan buried his head in eating with guilty conscience, and Su Qing who was sitting beside him seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jiang raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "What's the reason?"

"She said that now when people migrate and eat, they form teams. If they leave for two days and come back, they have to form a new team. Others may not accept them."

"It doesn't matter." Qi Jiang and Su Qing talked about what he learned just now when he went out, "Tomorrow everyone will definitely arrive at various shelters, and we will help build snow houses in the past."

The emotion on Su Qing's face eased a bit: "Now is the best shelter from the wind, using snow houses and tunnels to avoid the snowstorm, the next level is only tunnels?"

"Yeah." Qi Jiang nodded, "Time doesn't allow to dig two layers of tunnels, that's the only way to arrange it."

"That's how it is." Su Qing glared at the little guy on the ground, snorted softly and poked her small head with his hand, "I really think about the mountain map, and I don't think about myself."

After realizing that his father was not that angry, Shanshan hurriedly yelled softly a couple of times, rubbed against his father's hand and tilted his head to act cute.

Su Qing sighed helplessly, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and touched Shanshan's head: "Okay, don't be a good boy, go eat."

When Shanshan returned to the camp, Tan Yilong and the others announced the matter of going to the shelters, but they did not mention the risk level of each shelter. Instead, after everyone set off, Tan Yilong and the others divided the long team of torches into numbers. There are more than a dozen batches, and each batch has a specific person in charge.

Before they announced the news, more than a dozen people in charge had already drawn lots in private. The number of people in each team, their direction, and shelter from the wind were all determined during the lottery. What the people in charge had to do was to claim their teams in order.

The few people who followed Su Qing to draw talismans have also learned a lot. Currently, the output of talismans is good, but the time for them to learn is too short, and they have not saved many talismans, so they can only be distributed to the captains according to the risk level of the shelter. .

Spirit talismans are meant for emergencies. Although there are not many in number, they are also very useful in times of danger.

The blizzard and polar night are approaching, and there will be more difficulties waiting for them in the future. In order to have more talismans, several talisman masters are also directly arranged in the safest shelter from the wind, so that they don't have to worry about avalanches or strong winds. As long as you draw a talisman with peace of mind.

The first group to leave was the 13 people at the front, and the person in charge was Zhou Tuanzhang, who left with his own small long-long team in the attention ceremony of the long-long team.

With the passage of time, the number of the big long dragon team is rapidly decreasing, and each team that is separated is going in a different direction. The next few teams can't find the distribution pattern, and everyone is a little confused.

However, after hearing that it was allocated by lottery, the whispering in the team stopped.

In order to prevent Shanshan from being assigned to the next level of wind shelter without knowing it, Qi Jiang and Su Qing also went to the scene to watch when the lottery was drawn. After Shanshan and the others set off from the camp, they knew where Shanshan and the others were assigned. Which one is your shelter from the wind.

"Finally I can rest assured." Su Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in the sky.

"Since we are relieved, let's go back first, and go directly there tomorrow to help the mountains build snow houses and dig tunnels." Qi Jiang brushed away the white snow flying wildly in front of him.

They don't need to worry about the next thing, the two of them flew with Shanshan's team for more than ten minutes before flying to their own foothold.

Back in the cave, Su Qing sat by the fire and took out the animal pills. These were all given to him by Tan Yilong. They were a dozen pieces of talisman paper, talisman pens, cinnabar, etc. plus a few days of talisman teacher training remuneration for the course.

"Why did you take out the beast pill?" Qi Jiang was a little puzzled.

"There are only five hundred talisman papers left in my space, and not much cinnabar left." Su Qing looked at the neatly arranged animal pills in the box, and still felt a little pain when thinking of his talisman papers and cinnabar. After changing this multi-beast pill one after another, I can't change back a bunch of useless things."

Qi Jiang thought he was still worried about Shanshan, but he laughed and teased: "Aren't you worried about your daughter?"

"Worry, but you can't just worry, you have to take care of things at home."

Can Su Qing not be worried?But is worrying useful?Shanshan will not come back with her.

That being the case, it is better to take advantage of the present time to do some things that can be done well.

Thinking of this, he was a little worried again: "We have to change to a new home, and we haven't brought a lot of furniture in the small cliff. I don't know how long it will take to build this new home."

"The house and furniture are simple, but heating is a big problem." Qi Jiang also felt a little headache when he thought of this, "It's too cold now, and we can't do it even if we build a fire pit. We are afraid that it will collapse when we sleep in it, so we have to think of other ways to keep warm." .”

"Is it okay to burn a boiler?" Su Qing remembered that he still had a lot of coal, "How about getting a boiler?"

The heating method of the boiler has been eliminated for a long time. The reason why Su Qing was able to think of buying coal before was because when he lived in the village, his family used boilers for heating in winter.

He is very afraid of the cold, so whenever he thinks that there may be no electricity, he even buys firewood and coal.

But what he didn't expect was that there were more and better firewood and charcoal in the New World, and his coal was never used.

Qi Jiang didn't know how the boiler heats up. He felt that the technical difficulty was higher than that of the kang, but they had collected a lot of books before, so he asked Su Qing to pick out some books for him to study.

He can make a kang, but there is no reason why a boiler can't.

The cave is still much colder than the small cliff. In the past, they didn’t need to wear thick clothes at home, and they could survive the winter with short sleeves and shorts. Now they have to warm themselves by the fire in down jackets, otherwise they still feel a little cold.

Su Qing was also thinking about how to use these beast pills. He can absorb them by himself now, but the efficiency is not good, so it seems a bit tasteless.

One of the two took a book to take notes, and the other played with the animal pill, and the time passed like this for a day.

The next day, they reckoned that Shanshan and the others should go to a shelter from the wind, so they put down their work and flew directly to their destination.

Because the blizzard will come soon, and the wind and snow will stop for a while before the blizzard comes, so the blizzard is much smaller now.

After they went out, there was only a little bit of wind and snow outside, this time Jin Jin also wanted to go out with them, Su Qing did not refuse.

Shanshan’s shelter from the wind is a rift valley on a plateau. The altitude is relatively high, but the nearby terrain is flat and open, and there are no high mountains. Even if there is an avalanche, it will not affect the rift valley. It is ideal in a snowstorm shelter from the wind.

When Qi Jiang and the others arrived here, it was already dawn, and the wind and snow had all stopped, but the migration team hadn't arrived yet, and there was still a distance of more than 50 kilometers from here.

The two stood above the rift valley, and after the migration team arrived, the short day passed again.

The overall person in charge of this migration team is Minister Qin. After everyone arrives one after another, he will lead people to assign work to everyone in the Rift Valley.

Because Shantu and Shanshan belong to the soil system, they were assigned to dig tunnels. Su Qing, who wanted to help build the snow house, quickly changed his mind and went down with Qi Jiang to help everyone build the snow house.

In order to prevent the snow on the rift valley from sliding down at that time, some people were arranged to clear the snow on the rift valley, and some unstable stones on the mountain wall of the rift valley were also cleaned.

Minister Qin actually didn't know that Su Qing and the others had come over. He found out that they were helping to build the snow house when he brought someone to check.

He wasn't too polite, seeing that Jin Jin didn't know what to do, he directly recruited him too, stuffed a few beast pills as a reward, and asked him to take everyone to clean up the rocks on the mountain wall, which would be faster.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, snow houses are quickly built in the snow, many people are working hard in the ground more than ten meters deep, there are people flying over the walls on the mountain walls, and many dangerous stones have been cleared away. Above the rift valley, all the snow near the edge has been shoveled away.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped for a few hours in the night, and there was light wind and snow again. Realizing that the blizzard was coming soon, everyone took the time to prepare again.

Three hours later, the wind and snow intensified again, and all the igloos had been built. Everyone began to check for leaks and make up for the gaps.

Qi and Su are not needed for these finishing tasks, Shan Shan and the others are still busy underground, Su Qing is not at ease, and wants to see with her own eyes which snow house Shan Shan enters before leaving.

He estimated that the blizzard was coming soon, and Jin Jin could not fly fast enough, so he asked the child to go back first, and he and Qi Jiang waited here.

The wind was blowing, the snow on the ground was blown up by the wind, the snow blocked the sight, the torches made of animal oil were blown very twisted, the flames danced wildly, the wind increased several times, and finally blew out all the torches abruptly , only the oil lanterns with windshields were left working.

Who will live in the snow house and who will live in the tunnel has been roughly arranged when they are on the road. When the snow house is built, the occupants of each room are also determined. When the snow house is built, everyone will go in one after another. Only A small number of people are still outside.

Minister Qin shuttled between the igloos with a lantern: "Go in first, don't stay outside, the snowstorm is coming soon."

"Then who, don't run to the tunnel, I don't need your help, where do you live? Hurry up and let me in."

"The ones on the ground are still running around. If you don't go back, I will be angry. Don't make trouble for me. Those who live on the ground will go back to the igloo for me, and those who fly in the sky will come down."

"Those two standing there..." Minister Qin just yelled a few words, seeing that it was Su Qing and the others, the blame on his face disappeared, he hurriedly waved his hand to say hello and went back to his business.

After instructing the people on the ground, he went in through the tunnel entrance with a lantern, and he could faintly hear his nervous voice.

"How's the vent inspection going?"

"That's fine, that's fine."

"board……"

After the tunnel was closed, his voice gradually disappeared.

Su Qing looked at the igloo where Shanshan and the others were staying, and hearing the sound of a blizzard approaching, even if he was not at ease, he had to leave with Qi Jiang as soon as possible.

They flew halfway, Jin Jin didn't fly home yet, not because he wasn't fast enough, but because he ran to catch a few rabbits halfway.

Su Qing saw a touch of gold flashing in the distance with the tip of his eyes, and when he took a closer look, it was Jin Jin, the unlucky boy.

"Brother Jiang, go and take this unlucky boy home, a snowstorm is coming soon."

Qi Jiang didn't pay attention to other directions, and looked at Su Qing's hand, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "The child is old, it's time for a beating."

Su Qing sneered, his death gaze followed Jin Jin who was holding a few snow rabbits in his paws in the distance, and Qi Jiang approached silently while holding back his laughter.

Before he could fly to grab the unlucky boy, Jin Jin felt a chill, as if he had guessed something, Jin Jin turned his neck stiffly, and saw that he was very close and stretched out his hand. Qi Jiang, who was doing something, immediately relaxed his nervous eyes.

Qi Jiang laughed, coughed unkindly, and pointed to the back.

"Aww?"

Jin Jin followed his hand and saw his father's expressionless face, his suspicious eyes immediately became guilty, his hairs exploded with fright, and he subconsciously accelerated and flew away.

Qi Jiang's lips twitched, he cleared his throat again, and turned around to wait for Su Qing's instructions.

"Hmph." Su Qing snorted expressionlessly.

Although the distance was far away, Qi Jiang heard his cold snort very clearly and understood what he meant.

Soon, Jin Jin, who was flapping his wings in fear and flying fast, was caught by one of his paws, and the world was spinning for a while. Jin Jin was carried upside down by Qi Jiang and flew in the sky. He stared at the ground in bewilderment.

The surrounding wind and snow suddenly became bigger, and a mountain range behind them suddenly made a loud rumbling noise, which was the sound of a snowstorm.

Su Qing turned into a red and blue light and flew over, and patted Jin Jin's wings angrily: "I will teach you when I go back."

After finishing speaking, his angry voice became much gentler: "Brother Jiang, go back first, the blizzard is behind."

Qi Jiang also heard the voice, hummed lightly, and hurried back with Jin Jin and Su Qing who were completely afraid to move.

At this moment, the sky was covered with a very black curtain, and the surroundings that were already very dark suddenly became even darker.

The lantern in Qi Jiang's hand could have illuminated an area of ​​more than 200 meters around him, but suddenly it could only illuminate a range of about [-] meters, as if the light had suddenly dimmed.

But in fact, the brightness of the lamp has not changed, but the dark matter between the heaven and the earth has changed. From then on, darkness will exist in the world forever, while light will be suppressed.

The polar night has come.
