The sky gradually became brighter, and there was another round of light and darkness. The darkness that enveloped the world began to fade, and the soft light covered the earth.

If it were in the quarantine area, such a situation would undoubtedly be worth celebrating by everyone who survived the disaster, but now, the arrival of tomorrow will not have much significance for the trapped ashes - those phantoms are still floating around... and the number seems to be more than before.

He and Anderson had already consumed their supplies, and they had to search for food on the body and cut off the blood-stained parts with a knife... At first Anderson seemed reluctant to eat this kind of thing, but soon, hunger had overwhelmed everything.

"The warrant officer... seems to have had a ceasefire? I haven't heard any gunfire in the past two days." Anderson suddenly said.

"It's possible." Ashes nodded.

The two were curled up behind a large leeward stone. At their feet were a pile of charcoal ash that was still emitting residual heat and a few stones pressing on the charcoal ash. Although it was tomorrow, the average temperature in the Linfeng Plain was still difficult to exceed zero degrees. If there was not enough calorie intake, it would soon turn into a frozen ice sculpture.

Ashes took out a tin wine pot from his arms, which was something he had found from the body of a federal officer. The spicy vodka liquid poured into his throat, as if a fire was burning directly from his mouth to his lungs, causing Ashes to cough violently, but at the same time, a warm feeling spread from his chest and abdomen to his limbs.

He handed the wine pot to Anderson, and Anderson also drank two sips. The young military graduate seemed to be worse than the ashes. After two sips, two flusheds appeared on his cheeks, his mouth slightly opened, and he kept making a "hissy" inhalation sound.

"The Northern Barbarians' vodka is a good thing... They rely on this thing to survive the dark season of tens of degrees below zero on the Permafrost Islands." Ashes took the wine pot and stuffed it back into their pockets.

"It's so spicy...hehe...when it comes to, how cold is the dark season of the Permafrost Islands?"

"I don't know, but it is said that the place is a barren land, and no plant can grow on the surface of the Permafrost Islands. Even if there is an extremely cold-resistant variety, high-frequency snowstorms will destroy any farmland and plantations on the ground."

"How did the Northern Barbarians survive in that place? There is no food, it is still so cold." Anderson asked.

Regarding the Northern Federation that migrated to the Permafrost Islands, their daily lives can only be learned through the words and speculations of prisoners of war and scholars. Ashes remember that he once saw a book describing the life of the Northern Barbarians in the Permafrost Islands. It wrote that the main food of the Northern Barbarians was the sea fish caught in the Cold Wind Strait and the insects dug out of the deep frozen soil. Every year when the fish left the Cold Wind Strait, many people would starve to death on the Permafrost Islands... Although there is no definite evidence, according to scholars' speculation, some of these people who were starved to death may become "emergency rations."

In that bitter and cold place, being able to live is the only luxury that people want.

"Since you eat fish and bugs, how did vodka come from? Always need food for making wine?"

"They planted food underground... The Northern Barbarians would dig up the frozen soil, find places with shallow magma veins, and use geothermal heat to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes." Ash replied.

"Does the Northern Barbarians live underground?"

"It's not easy to dig up frozen soil. If you touch the soil under your butt, is it as hard as a stone? The frozen soil in the Permafrost Islands will only be harder than here. The limited underground space will definitely be given to more important facilities... Otherwise, they would not have launched cross-sea wars again and again... Wars will kill many people, and no one is not afraid of death, but instead of being frozen to death, more Northern barbarians would rather die on their homeland, even though the homeland they see is also barren."

"Warning Officer, are you sympathizing with them?"

"Sympathy... isn't it." Ashes shook his head. At this moment, three airships with the emperor's logo suddenly passed through the airspace above their heads, which made Anderson jump from the ground in an instant, waved his arms hard into the air, and shouted loudly.

"It's useless to scream, they can't hear it! You have to use this!" Ashes pulled out a burning lighting rod from his backpack, tore open the packaging, and wiped the front end coated with red phosphorus hard on the stone. The lighting rod suddenly started to burn, and the fire and smoke emitted could be clearly captured even in hundreds of meters of air.

One of the three airships hovered in the air for a week and slowly lowered its altitude...

"Warning Officer! We are saved!" Anderson's face showed an ecstasy expression.

The airship did not land directly on the ground, but threw down a steel cable twenty meters above the ground. The ashes once again put on armor, grabbed Anderson with one hand and on the steel cable with the other.

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else in this area?" A sergeant in imperial uniform lay at the bottom of the hatch door and shouted loudly at the ashes.

"No more, only the two of us."

"Received! The two survivors have been rescued, and the height has been raised!" After receiving the exact answer, the sergeant turned his head and shouted. As the altitude of the airship was slowly lifted, the steel cable was also pulled up by the people inside the airship.

However, when Ash and Anderson walked into the cabin, they found dozens of soldiers wearing federal army uniforms sitting in the corner. They were not prisoners, and they had not even been disarmed. They were holding the Federal Army's standard flints and scimitars, and looked at the two Ash who had just entered the cabin with a bad expression.

"Federal!" Anderson was shocked and picked up the musket in his hand, but at this time, an emperor's lieutenant suddenly rushed out from the side, grabbed his weapon, and shouted loudly: "There is a truce! We have already truceed with the Northern Federation, they are not enemies!"

"Armation?!" Although there had been speculations in this regard, Anderson was still extremely surprised when he saw the empire's airship carrying fully armed federal soldiers. He gasped heavily and subconsciously took a few steps back.
