Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1896 The road ahead depends on yourself

Lan Nuo's choice of personal belongings after getting off the car was different from everyone else's. Everyone else chose food, water, and fuel, as well as a series of medicines and emergency supplies. But he was different. He chose to carry a heavy drone, or more precisely, a single-soldier flying vehicle designed before, as well as as much fuel, water, and food as possible, but only a small amount.

The biggest reason for doing this is that the drone he carries can expand its maximum activity radius. He doesn't need to actually use the drone or the fuel inside. As long as he has this equipment, he has the ability to use it, and he can explore the surrounding area at a very high speed in a timeline that does not exist in reality.

In this way, although the time is only 15 minutes, its reconnaissance radius can be as high as kilometers. With such a huge reconnaissance range, everyone only needs to circle around this area and there is a high probability that they will find the location of the next Rainbow Bridge.

At this point, the footsteps of the predecessors have lost their meaning. Because the predecessors also did not find the way, only a few people have successfully reached this level, and almost no one has returned alive.

Therefore, they have almost no understanding of this level.

However, they still found the ruined camp left behind by their predecessors, and a small number of manuscripts left behind by their predecessors in well-sealed boxes.

It was this manuscript that boosted everyone's morale. The manuscript contained an extremely simple map, so simple that it could only indicate the general direction.

The manuscript recorded a once glorious history with trembling notes.

"I am the last survivor of the 100th Light Search Operation. We dispatched a total of elites from all walks of life for this operation, and finally arrived at Asgard! Although it is already a ruin, there is light there!"

Just this one word excited everyone in the team. Isn't the ultimate goal of the light seekers to find light? Someone has actually done it.

"When we found Asgard, there were only five people left in the team. We hoped to bring the news of the existence of light back to Twilight City. But I think I can't do it anymore. The poison can take my life at any time. So at the end of my life, I left a map for those who come after me. Because there is no time to explore in detail, the map can only point you in the general direction, but believe me, light exists!

——Golmud, the Light Seeker

Seeing the last words left by their predecessors, everyone was overwhelmed with emotion. Perhaps they were not the first to see these words, but they were probably the ones who had the greatest hope of finding Asgard.

Because their current state is better than ever. When the predecessors explored here, they probably suffered heavy casualties, and 90% of the team may have died. Although their team is small, they are still sufficient in terms of personnel and supplies. Now they have a general direction. Even if they are lost to a certain extent, they still have hope of finding Asgard. They are also the group with the greatest hope of bringing the news of Asgard's existence back to the Twilight City.

Because they left the car in Muspelheim, along with a lot of supplies, as long as one of them got back in the car, there was a high probability that they could successfully drive back to the Twilight City. As long as he had evidence of the existence of light, the search for light that lasted for thousands of years could be brought to a perfect end in their hands.

"Let's go, time waits for no one." Wendell glanced at Andrew, whose face was not looking good. The damaged protective suit had begun to leak, and although the small amount of poison gas was not enough to be fatal, if it continued, it would be difficult to guarantee that Andrew could survive to Asgard with them.

At this time, Andrew had opened his transparent helmet and put on a gas mask. Now he could only rely on the sodium peroxide he carried with him to breathe in complete isolation from the outside world to maintain his life.

"Everyone, take out the ropes. According to the few records left by previous explorations, Vanaheim's terrain is a plain. Each of us should hold the rope at a distance of more than ten meters from each other to maximize our reconnaissance range in case we miss the Rainbow Bridge!"

In fact, this was just an excuse. Lanno's huge reconnaissance range would definitely not miss the location of the Rainbow Bridge, but if they gathered together and moved forward, and happened to encounter the Rainbow Bridge ahead, it would seem too coincidental.

In the vast darkness. Everyone held on to the faith of countless predecessors and moved forward firmly. Everyone was ready to sacrifice in the darkness. They moved forward in the darkness for a day and a night, trekking through the rugged wilderness and crossing the muddy swamp. Finally, Lan Nuo's eyes lit up and he found the Rainbow Bridge in the reconnaissance range, about 20km to their left front. So he pulled the rope and adjusted the direction of everyone's advance without making a sound.

In the pitch-black environment, the direction they were heading in had actually deviated. They were no longer moving forward along the direction on the map. In fact, the direction on the map actually had some deviations. The route taken by the person who drew the map in the dark was also not a straight line. If Lan Nuo hadn't corrected the route in secret, even if each of them pulled the rope to expand the scope of exploration as much as possible, they would have a great chance of missing the Rainbow Bridge.

In fact, in the original book, when Wendel was the only one left in the exploration team, he was already very close to the Rainbow Bridge, but he was still lost. If he had not happened to meet a group of inspectors led by Hao Ren in the original book, he might have died completely in the dark poisonous fog.

But history will not repeat itself this time. With Lan Nuo secretly adjusting the direction, everyone's direction of progress is finally correct. After almost a day of trekking, Andrew has exhausted his oxygen and is barely surviving on the air filtration system. The supplies on them are not enough to return along the same route, but they still move forward without hesitation. If they don't have enough supplies to return, the worst that can happen is that they will concentrate the supplies of others on one person and let him return alone. But no matter what, they must find the light.

When the faint light of the Rainbow Bridge appeared in the misty fog in the distance, everyone couldn't help but cheer. Even Andrew, who was already dying, knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, almost crawling towards the direction of the Rainbow Bridge. The light they had been searching for for thousands of years finally appeared before their eyes.
