Chapter 8 Good News and Bad News

Hearing this, Zhang Ye swallowed his saliva and said with some uncertainty: "Good news?"

Liao Jie: "My customized boxing gloves have arrived. They are beautiful and durable."

Zhang Ye: "..."

"What about the bad news?" Zhang Ye asked again.

"I broke your [Witness Collection] when I tried on the gloves."

Zhang Ye: "..."

"Mom, please stop making trouble now, right?" Zhang Ye said with a sad face.

Liao Jie couldn't help but laugh.

It’s self-evident who Zhang Ye’s character resembles.

However, Liao Jie's skin really relieved Zhang Ye's tense heart a lot and allowed him to take a breath.

After all, Zhang Ye was only sixteen years old. What he had just experienced was something that most adults would not be able to experience or endure. Liao Jie must always pay attention to his spirit.

If it is stretched too tight, the nerves will be broken.

Seeing that Zhang Ye relaxed a little, Liao Jie continued: "Let's get down to business."

"The good news is that the entrance to the spiritual realm that appeared this time was caused by the expansion of an old spiritual realm that was first discovered in the early years, and is not a new spiritual realm."

"In other words, we know this different world quite well, and based on the pictures you sent in the group, the [Witness] team has locked your approximate location and has launched a rescue operation."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye was immediately overjoyed: "The [Witness] is here too?"

You know, that's my dad's team, and everyone on the team is a great person!

Liao Jie is a member of the Witnesses. It can be said that Zhang Ye's biggest dream right now is to join the Witnesses, and he has been working hard for this.

"If something happened to the captain's son, the witnesses would naturally not just sit and drink tea," Liao Jie said with a smile, "If I hadn't been in the country now, I would have gone."

When Zhang Ye heard this, he immediately felt a sense of security.

But before he could be happy for long, Liao Jie poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Don't be too happy yet." Looking at Zhang Ye who looked happy, Liao Jie shook his head and said.

"No matter how fast the rescue is, it will take ten hours. And based on our understanding of the spiritual realm and the current time, it will be night in two hours at most."

"Is this bad news?" Zhang Ye asked.

However, Liao Jie still shook his head: "No, the bad news is that the plain you are in is in the [abnormal zone], and [abnormality] will occur every night."

"What kind of abnormality?" Zhang Ye asked.

"The climate is abnormal. After nightfall, the entire plain will be covered by a cold current, and the temperature will plummet to below minus 20 degrees!" Liao Jie said.

"Hiss..." Zhang Ye suddenly took a breath of air.

Twenty degrees below zero, what is the concept?

An adult with normal functions in all aspects will become confused and suffer from frostbite all over his body if he is directly exposed to an environment of minus 20 degrees Celsius in about fifteen minutes!

He is only wearing single clothes and a damaged school uniform jacket. What can he use to keep out the cold?

Make a fire?

There were flints, but in his current condition, it was difficult to walk. How could he collect enough firewood to last ten hours?

Is it possible to just set fire to the mountain?

Then you have to be able to start a fire. I don't know if it has rained here or it is just so humid. The branches that fell on the ground are all wet, and Zhang Ye's buttocks are also wet. How can I start a fire?

Seeing that Zhang Ye was showing signs of collapse, Liao Jie immediately said: "Keep your will to survive!"

"Give you a minute to adjust."

"Remember, you have survived the days before [Recovery Day], and you will not be more vulnerable than before!"

Liao Jie's sonorous and powerful words hit Zhang Ye's heart like a heavy hammer, and Zhang Ye suddenly felt that he had some kind of power.

Yes, he has survived the days before the recovery day, and now he no longer has to sit in a wheelchair, and he is so scared!

Zhang Ye patted his cheek hard and nodded: "Okay!"

Seeing that Zhang Ye could adjust himself so quickly, Liao Jie showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then said: "Now report the remaining battery power of the phone."

Zhang Ye immediately said: "71%!"

"Yes, there are still so many left, which proves that you didn't use your mobile phone in class!"

Liao Jie expressed his approval.

Zhang Ye was speechless.

"Now put your phone into power saving mode and keep it on standby for as long as possible."

"Although the temperature is extremely low after nightfall, nature will not cut off all your options for survival."

"This world has a very obvious geothermal response. In the plain where you are, there are eighteen geothermal hot spots. The temperature of the geothermal hot spots can reach over 26 degrees Celsius, which is enough for you to survive the night."

"I have calculated based on your signal position that the geothermal point closest to you is in your nine o'clock direction. I have planned a route and will send it to you later. You must get to the location 6.5 kilometers away within two hours.

Hot spot!”

"6.5 kilometers?!" Zhang Ye was startled and said quickly: "But Mom, can I... now travel 6.5 kilometers in two hours?"

Liao Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Then it depends on whether you want to live or not."

Zhang Ye: "..."

"Without further delay, start taking action immediately."

"Considering your physical condition, this is the fastest and gentlest route."

"I've asked your father and others to rush to that hot spot."

"Either you survive until rescue, or they collect your body. Anyway, don't worry, mom will definitely get you back!"

Zhang Ye: "..."

It's wonderful, this "return" does not include life or death.

But even though Liao Jie said so, doesn't Zhang Ye still understand her?

When something happened to her, although she acted calmly, she was definitely the most anxious one.

so……

While talking, Zhang Ye had already installed the trekking poles and then used the trekking poles to support himself to stand up.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will go home. You have to come see me then." Zhang Ye said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liao Jie nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"

In the end, Liao Jie gave Zhang Ye some instructions on other world precautions and then hung up the communication.

Zhang Ye has also memorized the route sent by Liao Jie and set his mobile phone to power saving mode to ensure long-term standby and maintain communication.

So next, let’s go!

Zhang Ye just held his hiking pole and limped towards the geothermal point.

His speed isn't fast, but it's not slow either.

In order to make himself faster, Zhang Ye also picked up a "Y"-shaped branch on the road that was about the same length as a trekking pole, and then used it together with the trekking pole as a pair of crutches.

Not to mention, apart from the painful squeaking and grinding, the speed is much faster than simply using a trekking pole, about one meter per second.

For 6.5 kilometers, the pace is about 0.9 meters per second, which is about the same as ordinary people walking, so the pace of one meter per second should be no problem.

But the key point is that this is not a flat road, but a plain with undulating grassy slopes. You may encounter large grassy slopes or other terrains. The pace of this meter per second is really not necessarily possible.

Therefore, Zhang Ye must ensure that he is as fast as possible, the faster, the better.

Suddenly, while walking, Zhang Ye saw something familiar on the grass in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that it was a wad of money.

The coins were neatly stacked and tied with rubber bands.

They were all one-and-five-yuan banknotes, with the largest denomination being ten yuan. There were some coins wrapped inside the banknotes, ranging from one-dollar to fifty-cent coins, and even a two-cent coin.

"Mom, I picked up Huaxia coins here, is this reasonable?" Zhang Ye couldn't help but call Liao Jie and asked.

"It's reasonable. Maybe someone dropped it when he passed through the spiritual realm gate and was randomly teleported." Liao Jie said calmly: "Don't worry about the money for now. You have to hurry up and get on your way now."

"Ouch." Zhang Ye nodded and put the money into his backpack.

I don’t know who dropped this money, but keeping it so carefully should be very important to that person. Let’s go back and find it as lost and found, although I don’t know if that person can survive...

After this small episode, Zhang Ye continued to move forward.

Soon, Zhang Ye bypassed the grove and moved towards the direction in his memory.

The route is actually easy to remember. Keep going straight ahead and you will see a river. Walk down the river for a while and then go to the right when you reach the third river branch...

Zhang Ye remembered these very clearly. After all, if his memory was not good enough, he would not be able to get the first place in his grade.

The distance he moved became longer and longer, and after one kilometer, he finally saw the small river.

He remembered Liao Jie's advice - always pay attention to the river!

When the water flow is fast, you can get water and stay close to the river if it is safe to do so.

When the water flow is gentle, stay away as much as possible, and don’t get close if you can, because you never know what is under the calm river surface.

So after Zhang Ye got close to the river, he found that the river was not small, more than ten meters wide, the water flow was gentle, and the water quality was turbid and bottomless, so he immediately moved away.

As long as you can see the river and make sure you are walking along the river, that's fine.

Zhang Ye would not be surprised if there were dozens of land sharks hiding in such a big river. To be on the safe side, it was better to stay away.
