The Russian Far East has a harsh natural environment and difficult conditions, not only because of the mountainous plateau terrain, but also because it is located at a high latitude close to the Arctic Circle, resulting in low temperatures all year round.

Therefore, land transportation here is not developed. Even in the 21st century, it is not difficult to see from the map of Russian railways, navigation lines and navigable rivers that large areas in the Far East are not even accessible by a railway.

People here mostly rely on air and water transportation for transportation.

Although there is little precipitation here all year round, the water network within the territory is densely woven, which provides convenience for water transportation. However, the temperature is too cold during the year. In winter, the mountains, forests and lakes are covered with snow, and the large rivers and rivers also have thick condensation.

of ice.

Cheng Fan once stayed in a city in the northern part of the empire for a period of time. Every year during the cold winter, lakes and rivers freeze, and even a certain area of ​​sea water is also frozen.

The northern part of the empire is not even the northernmost part. It is already so cold in winter. In the Far East where Cheng Fan has now set foot, winter has come, and there is no need to mention the cold ice and snow.

Harsh natural conditions make these areas vast and sparsely populated. Although the cities and villages where humans gather are not very scattered, most of them are sparsely populated. Even a city does not have a large population.

Vast tracts of land are undeveloped forest wilderness, and there is no lush railway and road network. Cheng Fan has been traveling for so many days, except for occasionally seeing a few small villages on the plains beyond the mountains.

, there is almost no human habitation.

Cheng Fan first arrived in the Far East around the turn of July and August, and now dozens of days and nights have alternated. This land, where the cold season is far greater than the warm season, will once again welcome ice and snow back to the earth, dyeing thousands of layers of forest.

The sky is a little dark, not as dark as the sun rises and sets, but as you go further north, the scope of the polar night in the Arctic Circle expands, making it look like the sky is covered with a light black smoke.

The sun is hidden behind the black veil and does not come out. Combined with the howling of the biting cold wind all around, it feels as if one has entered a ghost world where ghosts roam the world and there is no daylight.

However, the sun actually still rises in the east and sets in the west, but the farther it goes to the extreme, the blurred the boundaries between light and night brought about by this rising in the east and setting in the west.

The more Cheng Fan moved forward, the more he felt as if he was heading towards the kingdom of Death, and Death was opening up his kingdom and sending its messengers of ice, snow and north wind to greet him.

The surroundings are already white, with green vegetation, ocher red or black and yellow mountains, and there are very few of them. The scattered ones are like beautiful gems dotted on the silver plate of snow on the earth.

The rivers that flowed rapidly in summer were now covered by snow and covered with thick ice, like long silver ribbons wrapped around the waist of the earth.

Cheng Fan walked in the snow, wearing a bear skin to protect himself from the wind and snow, but he miscalculated. The bear skin was frozen hard and was not soft at all. Instead, it looked like a piece of cardboard being placed on his body.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows up and picks up the unaccumulated snow on the ground. The wind and snow suddenly hit the face. If you were here, you would definitely feel the pain of a knife cutting flesh on the face.

A pair of icy blue eyes looked smartly in the snowy field. The tail behind him flicked and his paws moved up and down. If he didn't move, his tail and paws would soon be covered with frost.

It’s really a harsh world!

Cheng Fan thought to himself and looked up at the gloomy sky. Dark clouds were gathering at the foot of the mountain. The snow had stopped now, but Cheng Fan knew from his observations over the past few days that there would be a bigger snowstorm coming soon.

.

The forest after snowfall is indeed a fairyland on earth, so beautiful that it feels like you are in a painting studio.

With natural white and natural green, nature, the extraordinary magician, performed a large-scale magic that would not belong to the human world.

The forest was eerily quiet at the moment. There was white snow between the branches and leaves of the cold-resistant trees, but a touch of green leaves leaked out from between the snow. The open space in the forest was naturally covered with snow, and the sky and the earth were silent. There was no sound, and it was impossible to see at a glance.

To the end, there are blue forests and snowy seas, and the land is vast.

While walking in the forest, Cheng Fan's feet were blocked by something, and the snow bulged into a snow bag. Without thinking, Cheng Fan subconsciously flew up and kicked out of the snow.

Something strange happened, and it rolled all the way away.

He ran over and took a look, and it turned out to be a very fat ptarmigan.

The corpse of this thunderbird is extremely well preserved. It probably came out to look for food during the snow-covered season. It was accidentally hit by a snowball falling from the tree. It was unable to escape in time and froze to death here...

Food should be cherished and not wasted, especially in this world.

Cheng Fan knocked away the ice covering the Thunderbird, lifted the Thunderbird's legs, and continued forward.

Everything in the forest seems to be frozen, the streams are frozen, the squirrels jumping on the branches in summer are gone, and the brown bears are sleeping soundly in the holes of some trees, but they are still there in the snow.

If you can see the footprints of wolves, it is proof that they are still active and hunting in winter.

Living here is more cruel and ruthless than other warm and food-abundant areas. Every year, unfortunate animals are frozen to death by the cold and starve to death because they cannot find food.

This is the natural selection of elimination from heaven and earth, ruthless and indifferent, and the road of life for hundreds of millions of years has been going on like this since ancient times!

Probably because of the nature of the monster's body, Cheng Fan was not afraid of the cold. Even if it was freezing and snowy outside, he could move freely.

The bear skin he was wearing didn't actually bring him warmth, but he still wore it, not because he wanted to be a little monster wearing a bear skin, but because he wanted to make the bear skin into a bag to hold more things.

thing.

During the polar night time and the polar night range, the sky is always so dark. I don’t know how much time has passed and whether it is day or night outside. Cheng Fan walked for a long time and felt the wind in the air bringing snow falling, and knew that a snowstorm was coming again.

It is really not a wise thing to wander outside at this time. Although this body is strong and not afraid of the cold, when driving among the snowy mountains in a snowstorm, the wind is howling, and who knows which mountain does not have enough snow to accumulate enough, causing avalanches to form.

Avalanches, the force of snow rushing down from the mountains, are far beyond what humans can resist. Even if you can survive the avalanche, you will be buried in the thick layer of snow, and it is not that easy to climb out.

Cheng Fan dug a cave in a leeward mountain col, stayed in the cave, ate cold thunderbird meat, and listened to the howling wind and snow outside. It was not difficult to imagine that the sky must be gloomy outside at this time, and the wind demon was at work.

The scene of the howling snow demon.

After eating the thunderbird meat, Cheng Fan fell into a deep sleep in the cave, ignoring the wind and snow outside.

When I woke up, I stretched my body and regained my energy. I dug through the snow covering the entrance of the cave and came to the wilderness. I looked around and saw that the snowy field was continuous and a new layer of snow was thickly added to the ground.
