In the end, Ryan found that all the state of New York was now under some thick snow. Thanks to that, he and the others traveled quite fast, but things slowed down quite a bit when they tried to move above the asphalt. The tent easily crumbled apart with all the movement. in the end, Katelyn and the kids were forced to climb over the dire wolf's back while Ryan run. In any case, they reached the base before sunrise.
"Nothing changed here… my guess was right. Anyway, why I didn't see any dragon flying all this way?"
When Ryan reached the entrance of the base, Mark was there waiting for him with Hugo. It looked like he was using the satellite to keep an eye on him. While that saved Ryan some time telling certain things, it was a pain in the ass.
"You arrived faster than we predicted," Mark said. "Given how much in a hurry you have been as of late, I decided to talk with you while we move."
