Chapter 437 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
"Huh...this looks like it's been abandoned for a long time...could it be that everyone here has died?"
Bai Jue leaped onto a high ground, looked ahead, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
After Cang Nian and Little Sable returned, in order to complete their plan in the Sakura Country as soon as possible, they had Little Sable open spatial gates one after another to cross the last few dozen kilometers.
However, the Edo metropolitan area ahead was nothing but endless ruins.
Moreover, looking at this ruin, a thick, even layer of snow has fallen, with no bare soil exposed, only dense, unnatural protrusions, indicating that this is not the wilderness.
Clearly, at first glance, this place already looks deserted.
Even Cang Nian found this quite strange.
You must understand, this is the Edo metropolitan area, the population, economic, and political center of the land of cherry blossoms!
Because of its importance, before the spiritual energy revival, the military power here was also the essence of the Sakura Kingdom.
As a result, it seems that there isn't even a single living person left.
This is truly unbelievable.
Under the heavy snow, even Qin Changyi couldn't determine how long the place had been abandoned based on the traces at the scene.
Similarly, it's impossible to guess what exactly happened here.
"Shall we continue exploring?"
Seeing this situation, Yichen asked weakly.
Once you reach the Edo metropolitan area, starting from west to east, you'll be about two-thirds of the way to Kishu Island.
Further northeast lies Kitaju Island, the second largest island in Japan.
However, Kitaju Island is located in the far north and is where the four seasons are most distinct in Japan.
Whether it's agriculture, industry, or economic development, Kitaju Island is not a key area for the development of the Cherry Blossom Country.
Therefore, although it is much larger in area, it has a smaller population than Kushu Island, where Kato Kengo and others live.
This is why, as the second largest island in Japan, Kitaju Island has only three small nuclear power plants clustered together.
Therefore, Cangnian did not consider this island as one of the necessary targets in his resource plundering plan in the Sakura Kingdom.
Once we've dealt with Kishu Island, the largest island in Japan, things should be pretty much settled.
Previously, we had more time, and if things went smoothly on Muzhou Island, we could also make a side trip to Beizhou Island.
But now, with the cold wave moving south and temperatures dropping rapidly, there's no more time to waste.
In particular, the coastline has started to freeze over in the last two days!
The seawater has a high salt content, and there are undercurrents beneath the surface.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, seawater freezing only occurred within the Arctic Circle.
But now, extreme cold has arrived, and even the southern coast of Kishu Island in Japan, known for its cherry blossoms, has begun to freeze.
If temperatures continue to drop, it's not impossible for the sea to freeze over.
This directly disrupted Cangnian's previous plans.
The original plan was for a group of people from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom to learn how to jointly pilot warships, and then they would cross the strait together and return to the Dragon Kingdom.
If the sea freezes over now, warships will most likely be unable to leave port.
However, this is not entirely a bad thing.
South Korea is further north than Japan, so the sea there should be frozen even more severely now.
If temperatures continue to drop, it's not impossible for the sea to freeze completely, creating a vast expanse of ice.
In that case, there's no need for warships!
Just step onto the ice and walk across!
Although there are certain risks if the sea surface is not frozen solid.
But this is not a big problem.
Among the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, their family members were the largest in terms of size.
Therefore, if a family can walk on an ice surface, a human's small body certainly won't be able to break it.
For both Cangnian himself and Tiger Dad, even if the ice cracked and they fell in, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Therefore, as long as Tiger Brother leads the way and passes through the safe area, you can walk with peace of mind.
Among the entire Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, apart from Black King Snake, Tiger Brother was the heaviest.
However, despite its large size, the black king snake crawls with its entire body close to the ground.
With a large area of contact with the force, the pressure per unit area is small, and the force is evenly distributed, making it less likely to collapse the ice surface than when a tiger walks.
However, it will take some time before that happens.
The sea is not completely frozen yet; there are only ice floes forming, so it's too early to say.
"Ow~!"
After some thought, Cang Nian raised his chin and then let out a howl.
Keep going!
Although it is unknown why the Edo metropolitan area, which should have had tens of millions of survivors, was abandoned.
However, since they are migrating back to the Dragon Kingdom, they will need to wait for some time.
We can't just wait around now.
So let's keep going and explore the entire coastline of the Sakura Kingdom to see if we can obtain more evolution resources!
……
As night fell, the group stopped and set up camp on the coast about 80 kilometers east of the Edo metropolitan area.
Bonfires lit up the sea, dispelling the chill and reflecting a golden, fish-scale-like shimmer on the water.
Yi Chen and the others took out food from the little sable's storage space and roasted it over the campfire.
Qin Changyi, meanwhile, was trying to smelt the alloy on the side.
After reviewing the technology within the fragments of Yuichi Toyota's soul, Cangnian manually exported it.
Originally, this would have taken longer, because tiger claws are really not good for writing.
However, what surprised Cangnian was that the little ferret's scroll-writing ability could be used to write!
The blank canvas created by the little ferret can not only be drawn on by the little ferret itself, but also by other evolved creatures or evolved beings after being "authorized" by the little ferret.
This kind of painting is not done with brush and ink, but with spiritual power.
Therefore, Cang Nian could naturally master the technique of using mental power to paint on a blank canvas without moving his claws, after the little ferret granted him the authority.
After becoming somewhat familiar with the material, Cangnian was able to "print out" the knowledge in his mind in the form of words or even pictures.
However, the little ferret cannot yet bring other people's paintings to life.
But Cang Nian didn't have that need either.
Cangnian is already very satisfied that he can write down the knowledge that Yuichi Toyoda left in his mind so easily.
We're currently fighting in Japan, where conditions are limited and we have no equipment whatsoever.
Fortunately, Qin Changyi's metal ability allows him to ignore the rudimentary equipment and directly handcraft alloys.
As for various materials, there are plenty in the ruins of the Moriguchi survivor base.
That's why, even though it's only a few hundred kilometers away, it took the team four days to arrive in the Edo metropolitan area.
For the first two and a half days, we were scavenging for scraps at the Moriguchi survivor base.
Although electronic devices must be completely destroyed in order to eradicate the breeding ground for data life, the basic materials can still be used without any problems.
