The Witch's Taste

Chapter 34
Gaotianyuan planet, because it is far away from the sun, is a planet with a very cold climate.

Human beings survive on high-altitude protoplanets, relying on the shallow geothermal heat here.Or to put it more simply, where there are hot springs of sufficient scale, they are suitable for human habitation.

Geothermal resources are most abundant and concentrated at the South Pole and North Pole of the planet, so there are two largest metropolitan areas in Gaotianyuan - Zhongnan City and Extreme North City.

Among them, the geothermal supply of Jibei City mainly depends on the "Atami" in Jinchuan District, which is a large scenic hot spring lake.

The closer you are to Atami, the more abundant the heat source will be, and the more pleasant the climate will be.For example, the Guanting Street where the Yuegong family lived was located on the edge of the narrow bay of the Rehu Lake, and it was the location with the most pleasant climate and the most expensive housing prices in the entire Jibei City.

Outside of Jibei City, where there are no hot springs, the temperature is mostly maintained at minus 20 degrees Celsius, and only polar species such as wolves, snow rabbits, snow rats, and lichen moss can survive here.

The bus was driving on the ice field, and most of the curtains had been pulled down by the passengers, because when you look outside, there is only white, and it almost blinds your eyes if you look at it for a long time.

Because Chen Ziang had done his homework beforehand, he put on sunglasses early on, so he didn't have any symptoms of snow blindness. He just opened the curtains a little and looked carefully out of the silver-covered window.

This is indeed the first time he has set foot on the world outside of Jibei City.

It is said that in the early years when it was not developed, once a vehicle broke down on the road, it could only wait for the vehicles passing behind to rescue it.

The engine must be started 24 hours a day, because it is a cold world of minus [-] degrees outside.If the gas runs out or the air conditioner fails, when the car behind arrives, it will only find a car full of frozen passengers covered in ice and snow.

Of course, now that there are search and rescue satellites and professional field search and rescue teams, the possibility of accidents is very small, but those terrible accidents still linger in the hearts of the citizens of Jibei City, so that everyone subconsciously rejects and fears the ice and snow outside Jibei City .

Chen Ziang's eyes froze suddenly.

He saw a wolf.

A dozen wolves, to be exact.

The size and coat color of these wolves are very similar to husky, Alaskan and other sled dog breeds, but their demeanor and temperament are completely different.Their mouths were tightly closed, their tails were clamped between the two strands, and they quickly outflanked the two sides of the tail of the bus, as if they regarded the bus as a prey that could be chased.

Chen Ziang watched silently as a wolf approached under the window, then jumped up suddenly, and slapped heavily on the car body, making a muffled sound.

"What's wrong?" Suzuna Tsukimiya, who was playing with her mobile phone next to her, asked curiously when she heard the voice.

"Nothing." Chen Ziang replied, "Wild wolves."

"Is there a wolf?" The two girls in the front row were also alarmed. They quickly opened the curtains, took out their mobile phones and started shooting in surprise, "Really!"

"Don't open the window!" The driver in front shouted, "It's minus [-] degrees outside!"

The driver's reminder worked. Everyone didn't rush to open the window to shoot or feed, but just happily took pictures through the window.

This made Chen Ziang suddenly have a strange idea: What if there is no protection of the bus?

If they encountered wolves in the unprotected wilderness in rural towns, would these passengers still be able to smile so happily?

Such a ridiculous thought just passed away in a flash, and was soon suppressed by him.

Realizing that there was no food, the wolves pursued in vain for a while, then stopped in place and stopped running.

This disappointed the passengers in the car, and the atmosphere returned to quiet and boring.

It takes a full 15 hours and 20 minutes from Jibei City to Lingyi Town, so everyone basically prepared downloaded movies, music, eye masks and headphones to pass the long boring time.

Chen Ziang is still searching for relevant information about Lingyi Town.It's just that there is no doubt that the previous incident of the seance ceremony in the ossuary, as a typical serious mutation that must be concealed from the public, did not have any news on the Internet.

There was no response to the message sent to Hokaze Hokaze, Chen Ziang couldn't help turning his head to look, and found that Hokaze Hokaze in the back row had already put on a blindfold and fell asleep.

In that case, I'll sleep for a while too.

Chen Ziang was about to sleep when his right shoulder suddenly sank.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was already in a daze, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Moon Palace?" Chen Ziang called out cautiously.

The girl didn't respond and seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Yuegong!" He raised his voice a little, but the two girls in the front row turned their heads, took a look, and then turned their heads as if they were secretly delighted, and whispered gossip.

Being speculated and gossiped by others is much more lethal to a straight man of steel than being slept on by a girl on his shoulder.

In order not to attract the attention of more passengers around, Chen Ziang also gave up his plan to wake her up, and just put the sweater covering his legs lightly on Yuegong Lingna's body.

Probably because she was sleeping too comfortably, Yuegong Lingna suddenly stretched out her hand again and hugged Chen Ziang's right arm.

Chen Ziang: ...

I suspect she is faking sleep, but I have no proof.

His arms seemed to be immersed in warm cotton. In order to get rid of the charming emotions in his mind, Chen Ziang also slowly closed his eyes and tried hard to sleep.

Consciousness gradually plunged into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.

Is it the voice of Tsukimiya Suzuna?

Tsukimiya Suzuna appeared in front of her eyes with tears streaming down her cheeks, she held her hand tightly, and said something weakly, with a look of fear and despair.

Chen Ziang suddenly woke up from the dream.

The car was still quiet, and everyone seemed to have fallen asleep, but outside the window was full of wind and snow, and it was impossible to see the distant scene clearly.

Tsukimiya Suzuna still had her eyes closed, but she didn't rest her head on her shoulder, her head was already turned to the other side.

It seems that I was just dreaming just now...

Chen Ziang looked to the side again. When this girl was sleeping, even if she didn't have the strong affinity of "smiling without words", her beauty and charm did not attenuate in the slightest.

The hair on both sides of the cheeks was a little messy, but it added a bit of soft and delicate beauty to her.There was a slight sheen on the delicate lips of what should appear to be a crack-proof lipstick, and there was some seductive, cherry-like aroma.

It is so beautiful that it feels unreal and unreal.

Chen Ziang suddenly felt that the car was extremely stable, and the bumpy feeling caused by the original driving was gone.

"Master?" He quickly got up and asked, "The car stopped?"

"It's too snowy to drive." The driver in front said without looking back, "It's very close to Lingyi Town, and I've asked the townspeople to pick it up."

The sound of the conversation between the two woke up the sleeping passengers in the car. Tsukimiya Suzuna also woke up and asked in a daze:

"What's the matter, senior?"

"We stopped." Chen Ziang replied.

The driver was still explaining to the inquiring passengers that the snow ahead was too thick to see the road clearly, and it would be very troublesome to turn off to other places, and Lingyi Town had already sent a snowplow to pick it up.

But Chen Ziang still felt that something was wrong, so he opened his phone to find the weather software, and located the current location.

Sure enough, the weather forecast showed that there was no snow here at all, and it should be a sunny day.

The so-called weather forecast is the predictive result obtained based on the observation and estimation of cloud layer movement by meteorological satellites.

But what if the wind and snow do not come from natural climate, but some unknown mysterious force?
