GBP Chapter 297 A new journey
Chapter 297 A new journey
Ninety-seven days after birth, Cangnian and his family embarked on a new journey.
In just one day, the construction experts from Kangcheng and Mucheng, along with various engineering vehicles, completed the transformation of the military camp.
After the renovation, a 300-meter-wide road was opened in the middle of the tall wall facing north in the military camp.
The military camp was divided in two, with the buildings in the middle being demolished to allow passage for migrating animal groups.
The military camp, divided into two halves, has twenty wide and sturdy underground passages that can meet the passage needs of both sides.
On the ground, two parallel high walls were built to prevent any creatures that might attempt to attack the military camp.
The entire military camp is nestled in a canyon. It was only by chance that there were no landslides during the earthquake, and the canyon did not close. It is now able to hold its ground safely.
Now, the military camp, stretching for nearly ten kilometers along the canyon, is the only route that migrating creatures must take.
A million people from Kangcheng and Mucheng, carrying loads of weapons and ammunition, along with numerous large transport vehicles, drove away from the south gate of the military camp.
Although, long-term consumption of evolved meat can improve even an ordinary person's physical fitness to a level comparable to that of an evolved being.
However, during the migration, in order to maintain speed, only young and strong men carried individual weapons such as rifles and submachine guns.
As for the heavy machine guns, various field artillery pieces, and ammunition, they were loaded onto transport vehicles.
Unfortunately, while the military camp had no shortage of weapons, ammunition, and fuel, it didn't have enough military vehicles to distribute to the Kangcheng-Mucheng relocation team.
Even so, this replenishment has brought about a dramatic change in the team's strength.
Yesterday, while the evolved beings of Kangcheng and Mucheng were helping to renovate the military camp, the soldiers of the camp also took the opportunity to teach the people of Kangcheng and Mucheng how to use these weapons.
Although guns are banned in China, the people of China have a martial spirit ingrained in their blood.
With the added influence of numerous war movies and TV shows, people learn to use firearms quite quickly.
"Little Qin! Little Liao! And the Mountain God, may you have a safe journey! We won't see you off any further!"
On the barracks wall, Commander Cheng waved his arms, watching the southward-moving troops depart.
Bang Bang Bang ~!
As the troops departed, the soldiers on the wall raised their guns above their heads and fired a salute.
……
"Although it's frozen meat, there won't be a shortage of Tier 3 evolution meat for the foreseeable future..."
After leaving the military camp, Cang Nian was in a pretty good mood.
Because they guarded this pass, the military camp intercepted almost half of the southward-migrating ethnic groups.
Therefore, they have stockpiled so much meat that they can't possibly eat it all.
They hunted quite a few of the rare third-tier evolved creatures, a total of nine, seven of which were deer and two were brown bears.
In total, there were over forty tons of Tier 3 evolved meat, more than his family had ever hunted since migrating south.
Frozen meat just doesn't taste as good as fresh meat.
To Cang Nian's surprise, not only did the soldiers of the 79th Group Army choose to stay, but even the survivors from Yancheng and other surrounding cities did not want to follow the Kangcheng and Mucheng groups south.
However, seeing the way the survivors watched him leave, Cangnian could more or less guess the reason behind it.
On the one hand, they were rescued by the army, and after living there for a long time, they developed a dependence on the army.
On the other hand, Kangcheng and Mucheng had only been in contact for a day and had no understanding of each other, making it difficult to build trust.
Of course, there's also the reason related to my own family.
Four enormous tigers and a giant snake as big as a train – following such a group would require immense courage for the average person.
However, Cangnian thought this was a good thing.
The survivors in Yancheng could not trust their side, and they could not trust the survivors in Yancheng either.
Moreover, these people, having experienced devastating events under the influence of that mental evolutionary being, are not suitable to be taken along.
Cang Nian suspected that their current peace was only temporary.
Before long, some of them will develop self-destructive tendencies.
People with self-destructive tendencies often pose a danger to others when they break down, which is a big problem.
However, Cang Nian believes that after experiencing this incident, Commander Cheng should have anticipated this situation and made preparations in advance, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
"Uncle Qin! After we get past this mountain, isn't it much warmer now?"
Beside him, Yichen took off his thick deerskin hat and asked.
"Xiao Liu, find a thermometer and check..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Changyi waved to the police officer beside him.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian, on the other hand, let out a howl at the little sable beside him.
Zhizhi~!
Upon hearing Cangnian's command, the little sable immediately took out a thermometer from its storage space.
When exposed to cold air from a temperature-controlled storage space, the bright red liquid column of the thermometer quickly slid down the scale.
Soon, the liquid column crossed the zero-degree line and continued to decrease.
However, after a while, it finally stopped, displaying a temperature of minus eight degrees Celsius.
"It's really gotten much warmer!"
It looks like the temperature will rise above freezing if we head a little further south!
When the little sable took out the thermometer, Yichen and Qin Changyi had already gathered around. Seeing the final temperature reading, they were overjoyed.
Although the temperature is still below zero, it's much better than the extreme cold of minus thirty degrees Celsius in the snowy mountains of Northeast China!
Across a towering mountain range, the biting cold was blocked, with only a few gusts of cold wind blowing through the pass where the military camp was located.
So, although both sides were covered in snow, the temperatures were worlds apart.
"Even the snow is much thinner."
Although we have brought a lot of things with us, the roads on this side of the peninsula are much easier to travel, so the migration speed will not be much slower.
It's estimated that if we go a few hundred kilometers further south, into South Korean territory, the temperature will be above freezing.
Qin Changyi stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes filled with hope.
After going through so many hardships, we've finally arrived at a more livable place!
"By the way, Uncle Qin, we should be close to the eastern coastal area of North Korea now, right?"
Do you think the temperature at the beach might already be above freezing, and there might even be greenery covering it?
At this moment, Yichen snapped his fingers and offered his idea.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian's eyes lit up.
According to Commander Cheng, a significant portion of the animals migrating south from the snowy mountains of Northeast China were intercepted by them.
This mountain range, which connects to the peninsula, has several other passes in between, but none are as easy to traverse as the one guarded by the military camp.
Therefore, the organisms that have evolved here are all native species of the peninsula.
As Commander Cheng said, both South and North Korea are small countries with few large wild animals.
Therefore, the food resources here cannot compare with those in the snowy mountains of Northeast China.
However, both countries are surrounded by the sea on three sides, so hunting evolved marine creatures would be a good option!
"Hey, Uncle Qin, look, even Tiger agrees with my suggestion!"
With a large number of marine organisms and intense competition, their evolutionary level must be high.
However, we have guns and cannons. If we lure them to the nearshore waters, it won't be difficult to deal with them!
"Kill more Tier 3 evolved creatures for meat; the faster we evolve, the stronger our self-defense capabilities will be!"
Yi Chen noticed Cang Nian's expression and immediately urged him on.
“That makes sense… Mountain God, you also want to go to the seaside, so shall we turn around?”
Qin Changyi pondered for a moment, then looked at Cangnian.
Although the Kangcheng Mucheng team now has firearms, their strength is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
But the direction the team takes still needs to be decided by Cang Nian.
"Ow~!"
This was exactly what Cang Nian wanted, so he had no reason to disagree and immediately nodded and let out a howl.
"Alright, then let's change direction and head northwest!"
