Unlike other people who would call Cui Zuojing Xiao Cui, A Zuo, Cui Er and the like after they got to know each other, Dong Zheng has always called Cui Zuojing by name, he would call Dong Linhai Linhai, Wang Quequeer , called Lin Hangzhihangzhi, but never called Cui Zuojing with an intimate name.
Dong Zheng was a little stunned when the sentence A Zuo came out, but everyone except him didn't seem to care, only Wang Que, who was drinking water, immediately looked at Dong Zheng when he heard this.
"I'm here, I'm fine." Cui Zuojing leaned over and replied, "My communication system seems to be broken. I can't hear or speak. By the way, how are the others?"
"Except for you and Hangzhi, everyone is here with me now." Dong Zheng looked back at Dong Linhai, who was trying to climb out of the snow, and said, "Can you feel where I am now?"
"Can it be possible..." Cui Zuojing looked at the direction where Dong Zheng was in the prisoner's perception. A rift caused by the avalanche was deep in the middle of the road, completely separating the two groups of people who were separated by the snow.
"You go first, I will accompany Hangzhi, and find another way to chase you." Cui Zuojing said, "Don't waste time, J may be nearby, you must be careful."
Dong Zheng snorted: "I will, you two should also pay attention to safety."
Of course, Cui Zuojing could directly return to Dong Zheng by summoning him, but if all his equipment was gone, Lin Hangzhi would be left alone in this snowy field.
"We're going to take a detour." Lin Hangzhi drew a big circle in the air with his fingers, "This area is all buried in snow. I wonder if the box has designed other paths for us."
"You'll know when you walk." Cui Zuojing took off the kettle around his waist, drank a few sips of water mixed with ice slag, and said, "Okay, let's go, feel free to contact me if you have anything."
Dong Zheng still wants to say a few words to him, he is too worried about the situation on Cui Zuojing's side. If he is alone, he can take Hangzhi - if J really wants to do something, Cui Zuojing He will never let something happen to Hangzhi, and it will become a weakness at that time.
But Cui Zuojing had already left Lin Hangzhi's communicator. He looked around at the completely different terrain. There was a rift on the way, which suddenly put them and Dong Zheng and the others at a distance of two or three hundred meters. became out of reach.
There seemed to be a familiar wave on the highest mountain not far away, which made the two remaining seals on the inside of Cui Zuojing's wrist scorching hot. Faint golden light.
Lin Hangzhi: "This is..."
"The curse the queen left me." Cui Zuojing looked at the top of the mountain, frowning with a solemn expression, "It's strange..."
A large lump of snow fell from the top of the mountain, hit the protrusion of the rock wall, exploded into a plume, and fell slowly.
"Someone is up there?" Dong Linhai looked at the mountain and said in disbelief, "Or are there bugs fighting on it?"
No one could answer his question. Allen was lowering his head and fiddling with his protective clothing gloves. There was a stone in the snow during the avalanche just now, and he wiped it directly from it. Originally, the gloves were there because Cui Zuojing wanted to cut the spider silk to thin it. It's been a while, and this time it's directly broken.
Wang Que checked his body and confirmed that there was no other damage, and asked, "Is the temperature control system still normal?"
"It's normal." Allen pinched the small gap like a knife with two fingers. "It doesn't seem to have a big impact?"
Dong Zheng came over and didn't know how to repair the protective clothing. He looked around and found that there was a small clip on the compressed oxygen pump for the user to manually control the supply in the event of an accident.
"Linhai." Dong Zheng pointed to the place. Dong Linhai realized that after several months of repeated training, he had been able to slightly deform small metal objects other than spoons. However, Linhai did not remove his clip as Dong Zheng intended, but removed the clip on his own oxygen pump and clamped the breach for Allen.
Lin Hai did everything neatly and neatly, and Dong Zheng was too fast to let him replace him.
Dong Zheng took a deep look at Dong Linhai, who took the risk of himself without saying a word, and had to say, "Allen be careful, if there is anything wrong, tell us immediately."
"Okay." Although Allen didn't have much reaction on his face, only he knew how anxious his heart was. In this place full of bugs, the protective suit broke - just thinking about it is enough to make people feel anxious. shudder.
All the way to the present, the reason why they have not been bitten by insects is entirely due to this set of clothes.
Dong Zheng still remembered the direction of the road before the avalanche came. The four of them groped for two kilometers in the deep and soft snow, left the avalanche area, and finally saw the path given by the box again.
Thinking of waiting for Cui Zuojing and Lin Hangzhi to take a detour to find them to reunite, they didn't go very fast. The avalanche also alerted the bugs that were sleeping under the snow. They came out of the snow in twos and threes to find a safe place.
If you don't take the initiative to provoke them, these bugs will not take the initiative to attack people. Everyone carefully takes every step, for fear of accidentally stepping on one and causing trouble.
Two hours later, Dong Zheng and his party bypassed the mountain where the avalanche occurred, and looked into the distance. The gray path was circling on the snow-capped mountain, twisting and turning, and I don't know when it will end.
After resting for half an hour, they set off again. There was news from Lin Hangzhi that they had left the avalanche area in the opposite direction to them. Under the leadership of Cui Zuojing, they took a detour and approached Dong Zheng.
The snow slowly drifted down again, not too big. If this little snow drifted on a winter night in the city, it would be absolutely romantic, but in the ice and snow, it can only make what everyone sees more monotonous.
Ice and snow reflect light very strongly. Everyone must turn on their headlights for lighting, but the light is reflected into the eyes, which makes it easy to suffer from snow blindness for a long time. The mask has no sunglasses mode, so you can only stop and go to let your eyes rest for a while. .
Dragonflies the size of washbasins flew low in the valley in twos and threes, like small planes, preying on other insects. Large swathes of photosynthetic worms lie on the exposed rock walls. These strange greens are the food for many insects and are at the bottom of the entire ecosystem.
There are also many flesh-purple worms that have never been seen, crawling in the crevices of the rocks. Dong Linhai carried a flamethrower like a baby. He tried it on the road. After evolving a body that was adapted to the severe cold, the insects had a worse tolerance for high temperature. Only headless flies seem to be ramming around until they die.
He brought a total of four tanks of enriched fuel, and has now used one.
So far, their firepower has not consumed much, which undoubtedly means that there will be one or even many battles in the future.
Dong Zheng led the way, followed by Allen, Wang Que, and Dong Linhai in turn. The road was very slippery after being covered with snow. He walked very carefully, for fear of falling off the cliff beside the road accidentally.
In order to save oxygen and physical strength, no one will take the initiative to speak except for two or three words when helping each other along the way. In the silent snow night, only the tired breathing of other people rang through the earphones, and the insects came from nowhere. .
At the most dangerous section of the road, a raised boulder was suspended two meters high, and it seemed that it might fall at any time, smashing everyone below.
Just as Dong Zheng was about to say "be careful with your head", he felt a huge force coming, knocking his entire body forward.
Someone pushed him from behind!
He couldn't stop staggering, his feet slipped, and if he hadn't supported the stone above in time, he would have fallen off the cliff with the screams of the bird!
"What are you doing!" Dong Linhai rushed forward from behind Wang Que in a single step, and hugged Alan, who had just pushed Dong Zheng, and hugged him tightly with his arms. He felt that Alan was struggling. He widened his eyes with confidence and shouted, "Alan, what are you doing!"
At the moment when his body lost his balance, Dong Zheng was covered in cold sweat with a swoosh. He was scrambling to grab the protrusions on the rock wall to stabilize his figure. One foot was already on the edge of the cliff. , it will fall directly.
Allen just struggled symbolically for two times, and there was no other movement. Dong Linhai pushed him to the rock wall on the inner side of the path, grabbed his collar angrily, and roared: "Are you crazy! Just now? He almost fell!"
Alan lowered his head, unresponsive, and his painful gasps came from the earphones.
Dong Linhai gradually recovered from the monstrous panic at the beginning, and realized what he was doing, he slowly let go of the strength in his hands, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked softly, "Brother Lun, What’s wrong with you?"
Alan slowly raised his head, his sea blue eyes were full of helplessness and panic, and his lips were trembling.
Wang Que finally recovered from the series of sudden changes. She walked quickly to Ellen's side, knelt on the ground, grabbed his broken glove, and forcibly turned it over—
The clip that sealed the gap disappeared at some point.
Wang Que's breathing stagnated, her fingers began to tremble, she bit her lower lip forcefully, forcibly holding back the thought that immediately popped into her mind - no, what if it didn't
She opened the gap in disbelief, and the light from the headlamp clearly illuminated the bloodstains and wounds on Ellen's fingers.
Do not.
Do not!
No no no! Will not!
Dong Zheng grabbed the rock wall, almost clasping his five fingers into the stone, and pulled his foot back quite slowly.
He finally dared to breathe, took a deep breath, and let it out again, staring at the cliff that he had nearly fallen from, inevitably feeling a little dizzy.
Cold sweat soaked a layer of close-fitting clothes, and for a while Dong Zheng couldn't hear Dong Linhai's questioning and roaring behind him.
The scythe of the god of death just brushed past his head.
He slowed for half a minute, finally got rid of the numbness all over his body, recovered from the fear of his life hanging by a thread and the sobriety of the rest of his life, and immediately turned to look at Alan.
That is he entrusts all the trust and can leave the back to his teammates.
"Brother." Dong Linhai whispered.
"I'm fine." Dong Zheng knelt down beside Allen on one knee, and also saw Allen's blood-stained fingers in the gap opened by Wang Que.
His pupils shrank suddenly.
Allen turned to look at Dong Zheng, his eyes that were full of panic became wet, he opened his mouth, raised his other hand, and opened the mask of his helmet.
So his voice clearly passed through the air and directly into Dong Zheng's ears.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't want to push you... I-I seem to have lost control of my body."
