431 Mist
"Frigg! Fly higher!"

After separating from Aurora, Jiang Chanji urged Frigga to quickly increase the altitude, because the place to fly today is relatively far away. Just as Aurora tested the new usage of her ability, he also wanted to develop Frigga's limit as much as possible.

In the past, he was always more careful in driving Frigga. Except for extremely special circumstances, he never let it fly too high, too fast, or make it rise and fall suddenly. up or down.

However, as the saying goes, sweating more in normal times and bleeding less in wartime, being too comfortable may not be a good thing for Frigga, try to squeeze its limits in normal times, and both he and it will be safer in emergencies .

The place to fly today is relatively far away. He wants to try how high it can fly, because it is a well-known common sense that the higher the altitude, the lower the air density. This is why the cruising altitude of passenger planes is at least [-] meters. In the stratosphere above [-] meters, the air is thin, and most of the bad weather is not affected. The air resistance is small, and it is light and safe to fly.

Very few birds have the record of flying to an altitude of 2000 meters. Frigga must not be able to fly that high. Its oxygen consumption is incomparable with orthodox birds, but even if it can only fly to about [-] meters, the air density It is only [-]% of the ground, and Frigga's frontal wind area is much larger than that of birds, and the effect of reducing air resistance is more significant for it than for birds.

Recently, Jiang Chanji was reminded by his equestrian teacher and found a very interesting thing. Frigga's limbs are thinner than before, but the wings and the muscles connecting the wings on the back are more developed than before. This may be "use it or lose it." "The theory of evolution is having an effect. After all, it now spends less time running and more time flying. Even it prefers to fly. Even when walking in the racecourse, it flaps its wings a few times to make its body light.

The muscle mass of the chest muscles and limbs has decreased, and the muscle mass of the back and ribs has increased, which is obviously a good thing for its flight.

Seemingly encouraged by his passionate voice, Frigga also became eager to try, one person and one horse climbed up at a 45-degree angle. From the perspective of Aurora on the ground, he and it seemed to be flying towards the sun.

The higher the flight, the cooler the air. The heat generated by the motor vehicles near the city ground is thrown far below, and the strong and cool wind takes away the heat from Frigga's thick hair.

Jiang Chanji looked back and saw that Beishan, which was only 400 meters above sea level, had become a mound under his feet. Frigga had already risen to 800 meters in the air, but its climbing angle did not slow down, which proved that it could cope with the current situation More than enough.

Disturbed by the sunlight, Aurora could no longer see them, and went back to the car waiting for her by the side of the road alone, and returned to school, still thinking about Layla's abnormal behavior on the way.

buzz-

Something flew by not far away. It was a drone. It might have been played by some fat house. After seeing Frigga, I immediately leaned over to take a closer shot, but was picked up by Frigga's wings As soon as the strong wind blew, he lost his balance and fell to the ground while rolling.

Catkin-like broken clouds began to be stirred around Frigga, and every time he walked through the broken clouds, he would feel the coolness and dampness blowing against his face, which proved that it had flown to a height of more than one kilometer, the campus of Hongye College It looks like a sand table in a sales office, and you can even have a panoramic view of the whole city.

Jiang Chanji squinted his eyes and looked up, and the thicker clouds were not far away.

"Come on, Frigg!"

Frigga still had enough energy, just as there was a strong updraft blowing from the ground, it carried Jiang Chanji into the clouds at one go, and then got out of the clouds.

The earth, fields and patches of crops appear and disappear under the feet, and the height at this time should be between 2000 and 2500 meters.

If you look down... To be honest, I feel a little dizzy, and my palms are sweating. After all, this height is too high. This is not an airplane. If there is a mistake, both he and Frigg will be smashed into meatloaf.

Fortunately, horses are animals on the plains and have a poor sense of height. Otherwise, Frigga might be scared to pee when she looks down.

Frigga's climbing speed has slowed down on its own, and it has become a level flight. He estimates that it should be three kilometers above the ground. He has been in Aurora's private helicopter, and it feels similar to the helicopter flying to a height of three kilometers.

The air density at this altitude is only three-quarters of that at sea level. When the air is thinner, the lift of Frigga’s wings will also decrease. At present, this altitude should be a balance point of resistance, lift, and oxygen content. At this altitude, you can grow Time cruise, it is not impossible to rush up, but it can only be sprinted for a short time.

Frigga flew flat to the southeast, which is the direction the squid whiskers have been pointing to. Since the 15th and Zhao Man left last night, the direction has not changed, which proves that they have not changed their positions.

Frigga has now learned to glide when encountering updrafts to save energy, and the flight distance has greatly increased. After flying for about two hours, his legs can feel the rhythm of the rising and falling of Frigga's chest becoming slightly scattered. Its physical strength has been a little exhausted, but the eastern coastline is far away, and unless the 15th settles down at sea, they will soon reach their destination.

He made a slow landing gesture to Frigg, who stopped flapping his wings and gradually lowered his altitude in a gliding state, while approaching the coastline.

There are no cities near this area, and there are only one or two towns a little farther away. Jiang Chanji figured out the intention of No. 15 hiding here. She must have her reasons for choosing this place, otherwise no matter what she does, it would be more convenient to live in the city.

There is a misty area ahead, but there are no mountains there. Generally, it is only near the mountains that the hot and cold air flow converges, so clouds and fog are easy to form near the mountainside and the mountain top.

There is no fog in other places, the fog only exists in that area, and it looks fake from the air, just like the kind of fish tank bonsai used for modeling, the fog is limited in that area and does not overflow.

The direction of the squid's whiskers was slightly adjusted, pointing to the area shrouded in mist.

When Frigga's altitude further decreased and he got closer to the destination, Jiang Chanji saw it a little more clearly. There seemed to be a depression. The fog was deposited in the depression due to the high water content, and strange peaks and rocks could be vaguely seen in the fog. Occasionally show greatness.

Below, there is a simple asphalt road that has been in disrepair leading to the depression, and there is only one such road, and the quality of the road surface is also quite bad.

There seemed to be no residential buildings nearby, and no car was seen on the road. This saved a lot of trouble, and I didn’t need to make a fuss because someone saw Frigga, and I didn’t have to worry about Frigga being harassed by idlers.

Jiang Chanji didn't dare to fly too close, so he drove Frigga to land two or three kilometers away from the depression, and let Friggah find food by himself.

Are No. 15 and Zhao Man hiding in the misty depression?
When he was in the air, he observed the surrounding terrain. The depression only has one entrance and exit along the road. Although it is not impossible to jump into the depression from a higher place around, but after all, it is blocked by the fog and cannot see the ground. God knows the inside of the depression. What is the situation, if it is a swamp, it will be disgusting.

"Squid beard, pay attention to your surroundings, if anyone is moving around, please remember to remind me."

He felt that the squid must know well, but he still reminded him.

While observing the surroundings carefully, he approached the depression along the road, and found nothing unusual along the way. Then at the end of the road, near the entrance of the depression, he saw a dilapidated warning sign.

The warning sign reads: It is foggy ahead, it is easy to get lost, and idlers should stop.

Pretty rhyming.

After walking a few more steps, a faint mist began to appear around him, and then he saw a car parked on the side of the road.

This vehicle is in excellent condition and is by no means an abandoned vehicle.

The car is empty.

Under the cover of the mist, Jiang Chanji jumped to the side of the car, looked inside the car through the window, but saw nothing useful, only a plastic bag containing several empty food packaging bags and drink bottles .

Then, he vaguely heard something.

The terrain of the depression is lower than the surrounding area, and the sound waves reverberate inside the depression, and it is difficult to dissipate for a long time, and it travels farther.

Is it the chirping of birds?

He didn't care at first, but then he wondered if there would be birds in foggy places?Birds are animals that rely heavily on vision. The fog is so thick, they will fly and hit the wall with their heads, right?It's not a bat that flies by ultrasound.

He listened carefully.

pop- pop-

When he heard what the sound was, the roots of his hair stood on end, and Ji Lingling shuddered.

It's snapping fingers!
His first thought was—was he discovered by No. 15?

No way?He has already been more careful, and asked the squid to be on guard, can this be discovered by No. 15?Or besides No. 15 and Zhao Man, are there other accomplices of them here?

He is very troubled by No. 15's snapping fingers. This thing cannot be dealt with by any existing means. The squid must not be disturbed by the snapping fingers and can point him in the right direction, but the snapping fingers interferes with the brain's judgment of body posture. direction, his movements will also be deformed.

He was already planning to slip away after rubbing the soles of his feet, and how to apologize to No. 33 after he returned was even more troublesome. However, if he listened carefully, the sound of snapping fingers was very far away, and it did not come from near him.

Hearing it again, the direction of the snapping fingers changed again, as if number 15 had moved.

So, did she really move, or did he "think" she did?
The direction of the squid's whiskers has not changed, so it should be the latter.

After waiting on the spot for a while, the snapping of fingers didn't stop, but neither No. 15 nor Zhao Man showed up, which was not normal. If they found him and knew he couldn't beat them, there was no reason to keep hiding.

Could it be... that No. 15's snapping of his fingers was not against him?
Jiang Chanji immediately thought of the suzerain. If the suzerain had been trapped here for a while, the situation seemed to be explained.

Currently he is still on the edge of the depression, looking at the thicker fog in front of him, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided that if he came, he would be safe, and he should not get lost if he wanted to. Shouldn't be able to keep him.

There was no way ahead, and he slowly moved forward in the direction pointed by the squid's whiskers.

A row of simple houses suddenly emerged from the mist.

The snapping fingers did not originate from the house, but from the depths of the mist farther away.

The surroundings were quiet, and Squid Whiskers did not respond abnormally. He bravely pushed open the doors of each house one by one.

Most of the houses were empty, covered in dust, debris and construction debris, with only one showing signs of human activity.

There are a lot of daily necessities piled up in this house, mainly food and water. There are two sleeping bags on the ground, and a lot of girls' clothes are thrown beside the sleeping bags.

Jiang Chanji is not a pervert who likes to flip through girls' clothes. He took a cursory look and found that the clothes are all new, and there are more brand new clothes packed in bags.

Obviously, Zhao Man, who is not short of money, is used to a luxurious life, and her clothes are like the rich girls in Hongye College. She throws away each piece after wearing it for a day or two, and puts on brand new clothes directly.

But what puzzled him was that there was a small speaker on the window sill, which was powered by batteries. After all, there was no water, electricity, or WiFi in this place.

If it's a radio, it's understandable. When you're bored, you can listen to the radio to relieve boredom. What's the use of putting a speaker here?Do you want to dance in the square?
In addition, there are other things piled up in the corner, which are several large and heavy cardboard boxes, one of which is open, filled with shiny, round cake-shaped objects.

On the carton it says: Strong permanent magnet.

He didn't dare to tamper with anything here, and after a brief inspection, he exited the same way, restored the door to its original state, and then continued to walk deep into the fog.

The sound of snapping fingers is getting louder.

The surrounding scenery also changed accordingly, and the strange peaks and rocks he saw in the air appeared one after another. These rocks were strangely shaped, some of them looked like animals, some of them looked like buildings, and some even looked like people, suddenly emerging from the fog , startled him.

If someone who understands geology sees the conditions here, he will immediately recognize that these are karst terrains formed by limestone that has been eroded by flowing water for many years.

Jiang Chanji couldn't recognize it. He could only intuitively feel that this place was very strange. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was spooky.

Stranger things happened. He was walking, and many times he obviously bypassed the strange rock blocking the road, but when he got closer, the strange rock suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and sometimes he walked towards the strange rock , but passed by the strange rock again.

No need to ask, it must be that No. 15's snapping fingers affected his sense of direction, and it may not even need to affect his sense of direction, as long as it affects his sense of balance.

When a person walks, the cooperation between the eyes and the feet does not need to go through the brain, and they can automatically avoid obstacles while thinking about other things. When walking, no one will clearly see a trash can blocking the road but still bump into it , but the intellectualization of the human body is counterproductive here.

Even if he realized this, his brain tried to take over his feet, but under the influence of snapping his fingers, his brain's judgment of his walking posture was actually wrong, and he could only walk more and more chaotically.

He suddenly figured out what the magnets in the house were for.

More magnets must have been scattered throughout the depressions to interfere with the local magnetic field.

Even if he came in with a compass, he couldn't get out.
