Chapter 609: Soaring Through the Mountains, the New Human Gathering Place! Part 1

“It’s about time it shows up!”

On the cold and windy snow-capped mountain, Su Mo looked at the expedition team, who were struggling through the snow-covered mountain below as he waited for the scout robot to return with information about the East Long Mountain.

Unlike First Mountain, there were people inhabiting East Long Mountain. Su Mo had to be cautious and wanted to take proper precautions.

The scout robot had very high detection capabilities to find anyone hidden or stationed in the mountain.

However, after waiting for a few moments, there were no signs that the scout robot would show up anytime soon.

The team had been idle for nearly 20 minutes, but no movements were coming from the surface of the snow in the distance, nor was there any notification sound from the detector tied around Su Mo’s waist.

Su Mo glanced at the team behind him, who were rubbing their hands together, waiting for an order to continue advancing at any time.

He could not help but curse out in his heart.

‘Did it fall into a pit again?

‘Or did it encounter some sort of danger?’

After he had discovered the scout robot No. 1 that had fallen into the snow cave, Su Mo had already expected that it would likely happen to the other scout robot on the second mountain.

After all, although it was the sixth day of the heavy snowfall, the amount of snowfall was around 150mm after the doubling penalty, which was quite troublesome.

It would be normal for a small scout robot to fall into a place it could not escape in such a harsh environment.

‘Hopefully, it makes it!’

After informing the team that the break was over, he instructed them to follow his pace, and he once again began to advance toward the top of the mountain.

The road up the mountain was full of dangers, and they no longer had a scout robot to detect the risks ahead. The subsequent eighteen mountains would have to be crossed by relying merely on their own strength. The risks were hard to determine.

They could afford to lose one robot but they would suffer greatly if all three scout robots were wiped out.

Through the first few mountains, even if they had to waste some time, they would have to find the scout robots no matter what!

Step by step, the team advanced with difficulty but maintained a steady pace.

This mountain really lived up to its name.

As the first mountain, there were very few steep areas throughout the entire area, and obstacles were hard to spot.

After the snow accumulated, the height rose and it made it not much different from walking on flat ground.

They started their hike at six o’clock in the evening.

Including the half-hour break in the middle, the team finally arrived at the mountain’s peak at eight thirty-five at night.

There was still half an hour before the blizzard stopped.

In order to prevent accidents when going down the mountain, Su Mo allowed the team to rest at the top of the mountain and wait for the snow to stop before they descended.

“Shelter leader, look there… is that a fire?”

As soon as the team stopped and before Su Mo could catch his breath, the team members in the back had already discovered the strange sight.

He glanced in the direction the man had pointed.

Sure enough, although there was no obvious red flame that could be seen under the night sky, there was a cloud of smoke that was not obvious but noticeable with the wind blowing.

‘Are there people?’

“Bring me my binoculars!”

Someone in the back immediately passed him a pair of special night vision binoculars after he gave the order.

This time, after looking through the binocular lens, Su Mo was able to see clearly.

On the leeward side of East Long Mountain’s peak, there were indeed traces of a campfire started by someone and it had not been extinguished.

“Great! I’m relieved that there are locals here!

“Feng Tianmin, go instruct the team to prepare the big boys and be prepared for battle at any time!”

There were traces of biological existence on the mountain.

It was a good thing, whether they were humans or foreigners.

Even if the other party had no good intentions and was unfriendly to passers-by, Su Mo was still relieved.

In the doomsday wasteland, whoever had a stronger fist had the last say!

The team placed three hundred steel guns on the ground, and Su Mo was confident that the other party would willingly cooperate!

He was not worried that the other party might abandon their camp and run away.

Those people who had the capabilities to travel outside and hike mountains in such extreme conditions would never choose a camp on a barren mountain.

They had the strength to easily obtain a territory on the plains outside and live in comfort.

There was no need for them to suffer in the mountains!
