Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 35 Sunrise
After arriving at Temple Street, Xu Feng blasted open the windows of a factory with a gun.

The storm has arrived, and order will be difficult to establish in a short period of time. He is too lazy to waste time and effort to "buy" those supplies. Using words to reason is too inefficient.

With a gun in hand and armor on your body, you should use your weapons efficiently when necessary.

There was no one in the factory at the moment, but Xu Feng still found the necessary tools.

The sailing sled made before was too simple. Xu Feng, who was driving in the front, was tortured badly. He overturned several times, hit rocks several times, and rear-ended several times when the wind changed... If it weren't for the strong armor on his body, he would have fallen to his death several times.

Because the sailing sled was extremely simple, it was surprisingly easy to repair after an accident.

But Xu Feng didn't want to drive that thing anymore.

The factory he found was a ship repair yard that had most of the raw materials he needed.

The main body of the new sailing sled is a snowmobile. The track area at the rear of the sled is mounted on an old wooden sled with a mast and sail installed. The whole is a recombination of collected means of transportation, and Xu Feng does not need to do much.

After resting for more than three hours, Xu Feng once again called everyone together and prepared to set off.

"Are we leaving so soon?" The other four people who were about to take a rest were a little surprised.

During this period of rest, the others were not idle either. They were searching for ready-made supplies.

The other two senior experts were cooperating with Masami Yamaguchi to drive a tracked all-terrain vehicle out of the garage.

They planned to use the car as a means of transportation.

Before, they were also very uncomfortable being pulled by Xu Feng on the snow. Hanasaka Shoko, who had the same protection as Xu Feng, was not in big trouble, but people like Oshima Shinichi, Yamaguchi Masami, and Tanaka Keiko only had ordinary cold clothes. After facing such a torment, their bodies were already covered with bruises, and they were shivering with cold all the way while being carried away.

After arriving in this small town, they immediately searched for new means of transportation and were exhausted.

Now they just wanted to find a place to make a fire and sleep.

"The wind waits for no one. This storm is expected to last about seven to ten days. Without the wind, the sled won't be able to move." Xu Feng smiled brightly. "I plan to reach North America in seven days. After that, even if there are any changes, the only remaining journey is overland travel. I can reach New York on foot."

"Is that so?" Hanasaka Shoko looked at Xu Feng with a complicated expression.

She had already seen that if they did not agree to set off now, Xu Feng would go alone.

In such an icy and snowy environment, when using normal means of transportation, you need to consider fuel, preventing the vehicle from stalling, and how to escape in the event of an accident... In this situation, the more survivors the better, and the more supplies you carry, the better.

But now Xu Feng has found a means of transportation that does not require fuel.

He doesn't have to worry about what to do after the fuel runs out, nor does he have to worry about the car being unable to reignite after stalling in an extremely cold environment. In addition, he has good protection himself. In this case, the probability of completing the task alone is not small!
Moreover, Hanasaka Shoko also noticed that the front end of the sail sled was a snowmobile.

That is to say, when there is no wind, the man can also ride a snowmobile for a distance to find the next supply point.

This greatly increased his chances of survival.

After thinking for a while, Hanasaka Shoko said, "I don't think Xu-san needs to drive this wind-powered vehicle all the time. He should stay in the ATV first and tow the wind-powered vehicle behind it. He can only ride this vehicle after the ATV has an accident. After all, in terms of comfort, this wind-powered vehicle is too poor, and driving it all the time is too tiring."

"No need. I need to practice my driving skills on the way." Xu Feng rejected Hanasaka Shoko's suggestion: "I'm really not familiar with this kind of transportation right now."

"Okay, Xu Sang, can you slow down a bit? In this kind of weather, our vehicle can't go too fast, but it's still slower than the windsurfing sled we had before."

Xu Feng nodded. If the other party was willing to cooperate with him, he would naturally cooperate a little. After all, even if the three cubic meters of supplies in his space bag had not been used at all and he had sufficient logistical support for the subsequent journey, he could not guarantee that he could reach New York 100%.

It’s too far and the road conditions are too bad.

The group had been on the road for a long time, having walked nearly two thousand kilometers in the snow and ice, but according to the earth's coordinates, their straight-line distance from New York was still more than nine thousand kilometers.

According to the route planned by Xu Feng, they still have to walk at least 11,000 kilometers.

After setting out again, they had probably run to an area further north than the super cyclone. They were less affected by the super cyclone, and even the visibility became farther, and there were fewer accidents along the way.

Following the route planned by Xu Feng, they advanced step by step along the distribution of Russian Far Eastern cities.

To prevent getting lost and to better replenish supplies.

Every time they arrive at a new city or population center, they will check the local area, refuel, or search for more suitable means of transportation.

Hanasaka Shoko and the other three changed their means of transportation three times.

In this way, they traveled for five consecutive days.

Hanasaka Shoko and the other three were divided into two groups, taking turns driving day and night. Xu Feng would speed up when they were about to arrive at the next city, and then take a short rest of one or two hours at the agreed rest point, waiting for the others to catch up.

In this way, they could basically advance 700 to 800 kilometers every day.

Five days later, they arrived at Uelen, the easternmost part of the Eurasian continent, Cape Dezhnev.

This place is across the sea from Alaska in the American continent. After crossing the Bering Strait, which is more than 80 kilometers wide, the group set foot on the American continent, and there is no ocean separating them from New York.

The Bering Strait is now completely frozen.

Xu Feng had no idea how thick the ice was, but he knew that even if a heavy truck sped across it, there would be no problems.

The day they arrived in Uelen, the snowstorm seemed to have dissipated and the weather became exceptionally clear.

The long-lost sunlight shone on the snow, making Xu Feng feel a little dazzled.

Fortunately, he still has his space suit helmet.

This helmet allows astronauts to survive in space with various harmful rays. It can effectively filter out harmful light and can easily deal with situations like snow.

For Xu Feng, the biggest difficulty wasn't the glare on the snow, but the fact that the wind had died down...

His wind-powered bobsleigh has officially been retired.

Xu Feng took a look at the all-terrain vehicle behind him, thought for a while, and decided not to get in the car for the time being to meet up with Hanasaka Shoko and the others.

After walking alone for so long, it would be embarrassing to rush into the car without wind assistance.

Of course, this was not the most important reason why he didn't want to get into the car.

The most important thing is that he felt that it was not easy to cross the Bering Strait, and a snowmobile might be safer under such road conditions.
