At noon, while eating, Ye Feng put the fully charged solar heater into the spatial warehouse and took out a 1 cubic meter solar water heater to place under the sun for charging. After all, the temperature was very low, and it would drop to around minus 20 degrees Celsius at night, so both heating and hot water were quite important.
"Hoo~ I still don't have enough strength~" Ye Feng let out a sigh. The solar heater was about one cubic meter in size but weighed only about 100 jin. Ye Feng carried it on his back, which was just enough for a bit of exercise. The solar water heater, though also about one cubic meter, weighed a full ton, or 2000 jin, when filled with water, which the current Ye Feng could not carry at all.
"Big brother, there's a stone house over there!~" After finishing lunch, as they were resting and basking in the sun, Xiao Xiao, who was observing with high-powered binoculars, suddenly exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Ye Feng walked over, took the binoculars, and looked in the direction Xiao Xiao pointed. He immediately noticed a building resembling an inn at the foot of a mountain about 3 kilometers away. In the open space next to the building, there were many tents, and colorful flags were planted on the snowy mountain above, making them very conspicuous against the vast expanse of white snow.
"A supply point!" Ye Feng quickly understood. On his way here, Ye Feng had heard the explorers discussing that there were supply points at intervals within the frozen snowy region. At the supply points, one could also buy various cold-proof supplies, but the prices were much higher than outside the frozen snowy region. The further into the frozen snowy region, the more expensive the supplies became, and sometimes they were unavailable even with money. This was why many explorers bought a large amount of supplies before entering the frozen snowy region and did not choose to travel light.
"Xiao Xiao, let's go!~ Let's go take a look there~" After checking the thermal energy storage status of the solar water heater, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao continued to move forward.
Although the straight-line distance was only about 3 kilometers, the frozen snowy region was full of hills and other obstacles, making the road difficult to navigate and requiring constant detours. Therefore, it took Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao over 40 minutes to reach the supply station.
"Nice building structure~" Upon arriving at the supply point, Ye Feng couldn't help but admire it. The supply point was built by excavating the mountain, and the large protruding rocks effectively blocked the wind and snow. The roads on both sides were also wide, making it a very good location.
"Colorful Flag Supply Station?" On the large rock at the entrance of the supply point, the words "Colorful Flag Supply Station" were carved with an unknown tool, echoing the colorful flags planted in the snow above. At the entrance of the supply station, many explorers were closing their eyes, lazily enjoying the warmth of the sun, and people occasionally entered and exited the tents.
"Hoo~ Hoo~" "Bang~ Bang bang~" Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from above the Colorful Flag Supply Station. A large amount of snow rolled down, and there seemed to be the sound of running.
"Oh my... could it be an avalanche?" Ye Feng frowned.
"Wait!" "Is there someone in the snow? Did someone fall down from the mountain?" Ye Feng saw several figures in the falling snow.
"What happened?" "Who..."
"It shouldn't be. When this supply station was established here, avalanche risks were already considered. The probability is almost zero!~"
At the entrance of the supply station, the explorers who had been closing their eyes all opened them and looked towards the sky above the supply station. People also ran out from inside the supply station to check the situation.
"Roar~ Cough cough cough~" Suddenly, a sound that Ye Feng was quite familiar with rang out, the roar of zombies. As Ye Feng was contemplating, about a dozen zombies appeared in the rolling snow pile and rushed towards everyone.
"Damn it, why are there zombies again!" "Shit! Why are the zombies coming from that direction!" "This is really strange!"
While a group of explorers were discussing the zombie horde coming down from the mountaintop, Ye Feng had already rushed forward with his Tang dao.
"Swish~" "Cough cough cough~ Roar~" "Bang~" "Puff~ Hiss~"
In a short while, all dozen or so zombies were eliminated by Ye Feng.
"These zombies... are all tier one?" After sheathing his Tang dao, Ye Feng was quite surprised. He had killed thousands of zombies, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation where all of them were tier one. Moreover, these zombies were different from the tier one zombies he had encountered before. The previous tier one zombies had more or less various wounds on their bodies, but the zombies in front of him had intact skin and muscles, looking as if they had been reshaped...
"Kid, you've got good skills!" "Ten or so tier one zombies were taken down just like that. Are you interested in joining our Fire Tongue Explorer team!" A middle-aged man with red hair walked up and greeted Ye Feng.
"Uh, no~" Ye Feng waved his hand with some exasperation.
"Damn it, another abnormal zombie. Someone must have put the zombies there and then thrown them down!" "Yeah, last time it was a bunch of zombies that looked like rats!~" "That direction is a cliff. No one ever went there before, let alone zombies..." "Damn it, today, since everyone is here and it's still early, let's go up and take a look together?!" "I'll go too. If I find out who's messing with us with zombies, I'll kill them!"
The group of explorers were clearly not encountering the situation of someone throwing zombies from above the Colorful Flag Supply Station for the first time. They were all indignantly heading towards the mountaintop. Ye Feng, after a moment of thought, called Xiao Xiao and followed them. After all, there might be zombies there, and for him, zombies were precious usable points...
Two hours later,
"Holy crap, what is that? An aerial cable car?" After reaching the mountaintop, the explorers searched but found no one throwing zombies down. Instead, they discovered a cable car cabin suspended in the air.
"Hey, hey, if it's an aerial cable car, there should be cables, right?" "Did you guys see any cables? That thing is just a lone cabin!" Someone spoke up after observing.
"Holy crap, indeed, no cables or anything... How is that cabin suspended in mid-air!" "This is a bit strange. There are no other cabins found nearby!" "Look, the door of that cabin is open, and it's facing downwards. Didn't the zombies just fall out from inside?"
The explorers started discussing.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, and he looked a bit surprised. Because he had just detected a very subtle surge of arcane energy! He couldn't help but scan his surroundings, his gaze finally falling on the eerily suspended cable car cabin not far away...
