"On the map, it should be just a little way ahead. It looks like we really have found the right place!" Gu Mengyao checked the map and the GPS position and let out a deep breath of relief. "At last... we're almost there!"
"It should be," Tang Zhi agreed with a nod. "Let's hurry. We may reach Snow Valley before the sun goes down!"
The area around them was truly too desolate. Compared with the jungle before, it filled everyone with fear, and they were most unwilling to linger another moment in this lifeless place.
Gu Mengyao drove faster, following the coordinates indicated on the GPS. Although there was no longer any map here, and the navigation screen showed only vast blank spaces, as long as they knew the exact coordinates, they should not go in the wrong direction.
No one knew when it began, but snowflakes started swirling down thickly from the sky, and on the ground, from a thin layer of light snow at first to the white expanse now covering everything, it seemed to Gu Mengyao to have happened in the blink of an eye.
The vast white snow forced Gu Mengyao to slow down. After all, when driving on snow, safety was the most important thing.
"It's so cold, so very cold..." If she had not come to this place herself, Tang Zhi would never have known that such an astonishing place existed in the world. Not far away was a living jungle, and a little farther on was barren wasteland, and then, right after that, a world of white snow. The environment and climate here could no longer be judged by ordinary rules.
"Yunyun, you seem to be very afraid of the cold?" Gu Mengyao asked, looking at Tang Zhi.
"I wouldn't say afraid of the cold... I'm just more sensitive to cold temperatures. But in winter, when the stove fire at home goes out in the middle of the night, I'm the one who can stand the cold best..." Tang Zhi said.
Farther ahead lay a depression, the ground sinking lower and lower as if forming a natural valley, while the driving snow around them grew heavier and heavier. This place could be called a world of snow; it was hard to imagine that in August the weather here could be so cold.
"This... should be within Snow Valley, shouldn't it?" Gu Mengyao looked at the coordinates on the GPS drawing closer and closer and spoke with some uncertainty. Everything before her was a vast whiteness; she could see only a few dozen meters, and beyond that it was all a hazy blur.
"It should be. Let's search around. I wonder where Snow Valley is?" Tang Zhi frowned too. The closer they came to their destination, the harder the target was to find. They could not just wander back and forth in the snow, could they? The gasoline in the car was limited. If they used it all up, how would they get back?
Yet just as the women were growing bewildered, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car and shouted at them, "Who goes there?"
Gu Mengyao jumped in fright. She had not expected anyone to appear here so suddenly, and she hastily slammed on the brakes.
In fact, even if Gu Mengyao had driven straight at him, she could not have hit the newcomer. This man was a valley patrol guard of Snow Valley, with the strength of the early Earth Rank. With such strength, it was impossible for Gu Mengyao to kill him even if she tried.
