My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 608: The Great Difficulties of Climbing the Mountains! Part 3

It was six in the evening.

They had a simple meal but nutritious meal and boiled six bottles of water on firewood before their break ended.

The sky had already completely darkened, and with the falling snow, the maximum distance in sight was less than 100 meters.

It was the worst environment and situation for them to be climbing a mountain.

The dangers of climbing would be significantly increased compared to when there were no snow and wind during the day.

However, they had no other choice.

The mountains, in the beginning, were the easiest and the least dangerous. They were perfect for quickly familiarizing themselves with the snow-covered mountains’ terrain.

The further they journeyed, the mountains would undoubtedly get higher and would have a much more complicated terrain. It would be difficult for them to get through without a lot of hiking experience.

Moreover, to successfully arrive at Origin Camp within the next five days, they had to travel day and night and would not be able to waste the ten hours at night to rest.

“This is the first hurdle that we must get through! After passing it, we can make significant improvements! From that moment onward, we will be different from our past selves!

“You will be the bravest soldiers in the territory, the elites among the elite, and an existence that the new recruits will admire!

“At the same time, I promise you that if you encounter an accident and do not make it back during this trip to the Origin Camp, your family members will enjoy the territory Level A treatment forever and receive my eternal protection!

“Now tell me out loud! Do you have the confidence to do this?”

Su Mo made a last inspirational speech in front of the team.

They were an abundance of psychic energy, water to restore physical energy, and food to pride warmth. The most important thing was no longer physical strength but the willpower to get through the mission.

Su Mo’s powerful words sounded.

With determination on their faces, the hundred people team raised their right hands, hammered hard into their chests, and chanted in unison.

“Crossing the snowy mountains, we have no fear!”

“Crossing the snowy mountains, we have no fear!”

“Very well, in the next five minutes, everyone, check your equipment one last time!

“Feng Tianmin, come with me!”

Su Mo patted the equipment on his waist to signal the expedition team members to double-check their climbing equipment one last time. Then, he waved his hand and summoned Feng Tianmin.

“When we descend the mountain, I need you the stay in the rear. Maintain communication with me at all times and ensure the team’s advancement.

“Notify me as soon as possible whenever someone is physically exhausted or if there are any accidents!”

Feng Tianmin nodded cautiously. “Yes, shelter leader!”

The climbing car was centered in the middle as the anchor point.

Su Mo would lead and act as the vanguard to direct the team.

Feng Tianming was at the rear to guarantee the team’s safety.

There were three main points in their formation and they advanced according to the best route determined by the scout robot.

Five minutes passed.

Su Mo glanced at the team that was ready and took a deep breath. He stepped forward and tied the rope around his waist on the iron hook of the climbing car.

The other followed after him and stepped forward to secure their ropes firmly one after another.

“Start the vehicle, turn on the guidance lights, turn on the direction guide!”

Su Mo hopped in the car and began to input commands one after another.

The fixed spotlight on the top of the climbing car began to warm up, and after it received data, it cast a green arrow on the surface ahead of them, providing them with the direction to advance.

This was the best route calculated by the central control system inside the climbing car after reading the terrain data that was gathered by the scout robot.

Even though it was dangerous, it was for sure the safest route to travel out of the countless mountain roads.

“Everyone, follow my guide and keep advancing!”

Su Mo pressed the button on his waist and began to stride forward.

A faint red light strip started to light up slowly from his back, and it formed a striking red triangle exclamation mark.

At the same time, the climbing car also began to move forward, pulling up the hundreds of ropes pilled on the ground. They rubbed against the snow and made rattling sounds.

Su Mo marched ahead alone, about fifteen meters away from the climbing car.

Hundreds of people followed behind the climbing car, and the distance between each person was about two meters.

Their whole formation was about 300 meters in length.

They were linked together like a snake. The rope responsible for connecting everyone together also began to emit a faint fluorescent green light, which looked slightly dreamy.

Ice was a single crystal, and snow was polycrystalline.

Polycrystalline was composed of many small crystals, which resulted in high grain boundaries.

It was difficult for light to transmit and could only be reflected due to the existence of large numbers of grain boundaries.

Therefore, there was no need for strong spotlights, and the team could clearly see 20 meters around them with the dim lights.

With the addition of sunglasses, there was no problem with their vision.

They took one step at a time, and Su Mo, the pathfinder, walked very slowly in front and had very heavy steps. He wanted to ensure that every step was stable and would not collapse due to the weight of those behind him.

Su Mo thought of Hannibal’s alpine crossing, where only 40% of the army was left. He was still able to reorganize and lift the spirits of the whole army with his verbal and other skills.

There was about a four-kilometer hike up to the mountain. However, after only two kilometers, Su Mo waved his hand and motioned everyone to stay put to begin familiarizing themselves with the surrounding environment!
