Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1893: A Thousand Dangers

Lan Nuo waved goodbye to the gang members who were chasing him from behind. However, these loan sharks were furious and furious.

"Asshole, come back here! You cheated us out of so much money, and you just want to walk away like this."

The gangsters with machetes rushed out desperately, trying to stop the cars from leaving? However, although they were desperate criminals, they were nothing compared to the light seekers. Those who dared to rush into the darkness were the real desperate criminals. In comparison, those with machetes were just brave and aggressive. The two sides were not on the same level at all.

Lan Nuo and the car passed through the shield and then drove into the darkness. The gang members who were chasing them stopped in front of the shield and hesitated to move forward.

How could they dare to really get close to the darkness? Even if they were protected by the amulet, who would dare to really be like the Light Seeker, completely leaving the city's influence and going deep into the remote no-man's land when there was no possibility of anyone rescuing them?

A group of gang members who had been robbed of loans could only stamp their feet in anger. This time they sincerely hoped that the Light Seeker could come back alive. If he didn't come back alive, the money he owed them would probably never be repaid.

But on the other hand, if they really found a piece of paradise, then as long as they could come back alive, it would be easy to pay back the money they owed. There is nothing more valuable than a new piece of paradise.

Two tracked tanks and two off-road vehicles were running across the wilderness. The bright headlights illuminated the road ahead, and one could vaguely see the footprints left by predecessors in the distance.

Looking back, Twilight City had become a mere shell on the horizon. It was only the size of an egg, emitting a faint glow in the darkness, and the only sound above the wilderness was the roar of the locomotives. These four vehicles had become the only living creatures in the wilderness.

"If we work harder, with these cars, we should be able to pass three camps today and come directly to the camp near the Rainbow Bridge in front, where we can replenish our supplies and see the experiences left by our predecessors. Our original plan was to rely on the supplies left by our predecessors, follow in their footsteps little by little, and find Asgard." As the only one among the group who had experience in exploration, Wendel naturally became the commander of the team.

"It turns out that the previous exploration team also built a camp. But how come there is food stored in the camp?" Helena was a little puzzled: "The previous exploration team also had abundant supplies like us, and could they leave enough resources for the exploration team behind?"

Wendel shook his head. "No, the previous Light Seekers were all searching on foot. The large steam mechas would be damaged quickly in the magical radiation environment, so they could carry very few supplies. At most, they could carry some extra supplies by carrying them on their shoulders or using carts, but that was the limit.

However, they will still set up camps and put their supplies in the camps. The main purpose is not to leave them for us, but to leave them for use when they return.

For an exploration like this, it is impossible to carry a lot of supplies all the time. The best solution is to leave supplies for the return trip along the way. In this way, the weight on the body will be reduced as you move forward. When returning, there is almost no weight, and you only need to pick up the supplies left behind at one camp after another.

But what happened to the previous light seekers? I think everyone knows this. Most of the supplies left behind were not consumed, because when they returned, they were either completely wiped out or most of them died on the way.

Originally, this journey to find the light might be our last one, so my initial preparation was to directly consume the supplies left by our predecessors and go all out, even if it meant we could only catch a glimpse of Asgard.

As for how to get back, if Asgard is really a survivable land, then we can survive there and accumulate resources, and then explore back along the camp bit by bit.

But this time the situation is much better than I thought. We will take out some food and fuel and store them in the camp. This will reduce the weight and fuel consumption of the vehicle. It will also be more convenient when we return."

The crowd did not object to this. According to previous experience, the fuel and food they prepared were more than enough for the round trip. It was only natural that some of it would flow out to the camps along the way.

The surging magic radiation continuously impacted the four roaring monsters, but it could not stop them from moving forward. Precision electronic equipment or magic structures would be destroyed by magic radiation, but the rough internal combustion engine and purely mechanical transmission structure made the magic radiation seem as powerless as a baby, relying on the power of iron and fire to push the machines forward on the wild plains.

Finally they arrived. In front of a huge teleportation facility, this is the Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall once guarded Asgard's Rainbow Bridge and was in charge of the interconnection between the nine kingdoms, but now this most loyal guardian has fallen, and the transmission rules between the nine kingdoms have become chaotic and solidified again. If they want to go to Asgard, they must cross one kingdom after another.

The car stopped and everyone put on power armor and inserted polished amulets into their chests. The power of the amulet would be evenly distributed on the surface of the armor by the magic facilities on the mecha, protecting themselves with minimal consumption.

They got out of the car as if they were wearing space suits, took out evenly distributed supplies and placed them in the camp.

Tanarossa held a lamp and found an old book that had not been destroyed by the radiation. It contained the records left by the forerunners.

"The 4th Light Seeking Operation. We have successfully arrived at the fifth camp. There are people in total, and have arrived. Although Midgard is the country we are most familiar with, it is still full of dangers. Four companions unfortunately died along the way.

We encountered a storm in the dark, and they were left behind in the storm. Now I am afraid that they are in great danger. I leave a record here, and those who come later may need a rope to connect to each other.

——Palma the Light Seeker

"This is the 100nd Light Searching Operation. This is the largest Light Searching Operation in the past years. There are people in total, and of them have arrived. We paid a heavy price when we passed through the poisonous swamp. The toxins in the swamp cannot be resisted by the amulet. Those who come later must be careful. We have mapped the distribution area of ​​the swamp. Those who come later must bypass this swamp area.

——Light Seeker Worthington" "We have finally arrived at the 35th Light Seeker! When we set out, I had 500 companions with me, but now there are only a few dozen left. We succeeded. We finally reached the Rainbow Bridge and activated it. The scholar told me that the Rainbow Bridge leads to Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, but the scholar said that the environment there is completely different from Midgard, and we may not be able to return alive. But we will try our best to record what we have seen and learned along the way, so that those who come after us can also record it like us.

——Light Seeker Fog Code"

Lan Nuo saw a cemetery near the camp, and there were many tombstones with names exactly the same as the names in the notebook. Perhaps many people recorded all the lessons they learned from their journey to find the light in the notebook at the last moment of their lives, knowing that they had no chance to return.

It took countless sacrifices from generation to generation to explore this path.

Tanarossa opened his notebook and began to record: "The 399th light-seeking operation, a total of thirteen people, thirteen people arrived. Internal combustion engine vehicles are of great help in exploring the night. If we fail to come back, please bring this news back to the city-state.

- Lightseeker Tanarossa

Looking at the countless lessons and experiences left by their ancestors, everyone could not help but feel mixed emotions. And in the near future, they may also become ancestors remembered by future generations.

"Get ready to go. The environment will be even worse. The giant kingdom of Jotunheim is covered in yellow sand and the temperature is extremely high. Our car may not be able to withstand the harsh environment there." Wendell had already driven the car to the teleportation array. According to the experience left by the predecessors, they activated the teleportation array. With a flash of white light, everyone felt a distortion of space. After an indescribable feeling of nausea, the environment in front of them suddenly changed.

Although it was pitch black here, it was no longer the wet and muddy wasteland before, but had turned into a vast desert. The surging hot wind blew in through the car windows, causing everyone to roll up the windows immediately. The hot wind instantly raised the temperature inside the car.

"At this point, the footprints of our ancestors can hardly help us. The sand dunes in the desert move all the time, and the footprints left by our ancestors will soon be covered by the sand dunes.

But the stars will guide us. As long as we keep moving towards the star in the sky, we will find the next rainbow bridge. But all the dangers during this period are unpredictable. "Wendell drove the car and took the lead. This is also the most dangerous position. Once there is any danger, the car in the front row will definitely be the first to suffer.

The wheels kicked up rolling yellow sand as off-road vehicles and tracked tanks ran across the desert, which was desolate and silent. Only occasionally could one see huge tentacles extending from the ground. Those huge roots, as big as mountains, were the branches of the World Tree Yogdudorahil, but they looked extremely dry, as if they were already dead.

Everyone stopped in front of a huge root, got out of the car, picked up knives, and scraped off the bark on the surface of the dry branches. Although it had been weathered for many years, the bark was still a good fuel. At the same time, as long as there was a certain amount of water, Lan Nuo could use the bark as a raw material to perform grain-making techniques and convert the cell walls of these dry cells into starch. The vehicle did carry a lot of canned food, many of which had a very long shelf life, but these things were not for their current use. When conditions allowed, they would naturally use the temporarily made food to fill their stomachs.

It was not easy to get water in the desert. Helena and Lan Nuo cast ice spells together to condense some water vapor in the air, allowing Lan Nuo to make a pot of batter-like substance for everyone.

"Originally, the desert of Jotunheim was one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome, because the sand dunes in the desert would constantly move in the sandstorm, and any camps built along the way would be destroyed. We had to cross hundreds of kilometers at a time and come to the Rainbow Bridge on the opposite side to get rest and supplies in the new camp. Many exploration teams had been killed in this desert before.

We have covered nearly half the distance in such a short time, and the progress is really much faster." Wendell compared the difficulty of his last exploration and couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, they quickly finished this tasteless dinner and were about to clean the pots and pans when Lan Nuo's face suddenly changed: "Everyone get in the car immediately! My reconnaissance drone encountered a sandstorm."

When they stopped, Lan Nuo did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he flew a number of fly-sized reconnaissance drones to monitor the surrounding environment. One of the drones encountered a sandstorm not far behind them and was destroyed on the spot.

Everyone got in the car quickly. Several drivers who had practiced driving started the car quickly and drove across the desert. At this time, they also saw the sandstorm sweeping behind them. The rolling sand and dust were like a wall, crushing towards them. If they were swallowed up by the sandstorm, they would probably die without a burial place.

Several drivers stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and ran the engine at full power, but the sandstorm behind them was still getting closer and closer.

Wendel was also sweating profusely. Their luck was not very good. If a normal team of Light Seekers encountered a sandstorm of this scale, they would probably have been wiped out by now.

Although they can still survive, the sandstorm is getting closer and closer. Once they are swallowed up, they will die.

"What should we do... Should we abandon the supplies in the car?" Wendell was about to give the order to abandon the supplies in the car and increase the speed as much as possible to escape the pursuit of the sandstorm.

But at this moment, Lan Nuo's voice appeared in the communication channel: "Don't panic, all drivers. Open the cover next to the handbrake on your right hand. There is a red button inside the cover. When I say press it, everyone press the button together."

"Three, two, one! Press!"
