Extremely steep mountain peaks extend at the feet, and upwards, clouds cover the mountains and fog surrounds them, making it impossible to see some parts of the mountain tops even with ordinary eyes. However, Elena was always in Xia Lei's sight and never left.
When Xia Lei followed her to the foot of the mountain, Elena had already climbed one-third of the height of the mountain. Her speed was already very slow and she could not speed up. After all, this place is a restricted area for humans. Even at the foot of the mountain where the wind is light, the temperature is as low as minus 30 degrees. The temperature gets lower as you go up, and the highest place may reach minus 40 or even 50 degrees. In such an environment, human power is insignificant in front of nature, and if you are not careful, you will be ruined.
"What exactly does he want to do? Why did he invite Yelena to this place to meet? If he simply wants Yelena to do something for him, he can contact her by satellite phone. If he doesn't want me to know , he could have told Yelena not to tell me, and Yelena would definitely do it. After all, the people in the Zodiac Team were all adopted and trained by him..." Climbing to the top of the mountain, Xia Lei couldn't help but think about this. question.
No matter which angle he thought about what was happening in front of him, he couldn't understand it.
In sight, Elena stopped. She seemed exhausted, standing behind a leeward rock to pant.
Xia Lei didn't stop and continued climbing. His body has entered a comprehensive evolution. His body has lost part of its body temperature and has no sense of cold. And his physical strength is always abundant. With his condition and ability, let alone climbing an unknown mountain in front of him at night, even climbing Mount Everest would be no problem.
Elena rested for ten minutes and continued climbing.
At this time, Xia Lei had shortened the distance between him and her, and was only about 500 meters away from her. If Lao De Xia Changhe appeared, he was absolutely sure to rush forward and intercept him.
Dad never showed up.
A pile of stones came into Xia Lei's sight, which was the signal left by his father. Strips of stone stand upright among the piles at the foot of the mountain, pointing in the direction of the top of the mountain.
"Does he really want Elena to climb to the top of the mountain to meet him? He is really crazy." Even his father, Xia Lei, couldn't help but complain. Even he had a hard time climbing such a steep snow peak, let alone Elena.
Half an hour later, Elena finally climbed halfway up the mountain. She paused again, setting down her gear bag. But just after that, her body collapsed to the ground and never got up again.
What happened
There was no gunshot, and no enemy who attacked her appeared, but she fell down.
"Damn it!" Xia Lei suddenly rushed towards the place where Yelena fell. The steep hillside felt like flat ground under his feet, and the speed of complete relaxation was comparable to that of a cheetah!
A few minutes later, Xia Lei arrived at the place where Elena fell.
Xia Changhe hasn't shown up yet, and his appearance will most likely make this tracking operation fail, but he can't care about that much anymore. Elena was lying in the ice and snow. If he didn't save her, even if she wasn't shot, she might freeze to death in a few minutes!
Elena lay on the ground with her face buried in the snow. There was no blood flowing out of her body. She didn't know whether she fainted from exhaustion of energy or suddenly fell ill.
Xia Lei came to Elena and picked her up from the snow. Elena's face was covered with snow, and her eyebrows were frozen by the snow wind. She closed her eyes tightly and breathed weakly.
"Yelena? Yelena, what's wrong with you?" Xia Lei shook Yelena's shoulders, trying to wake her up.
Yelena didn't react at all.
Xia Lei moved his eyes to Elena's legs, and suddenly understood what had happened. Yelena had an anesthesia needle stuck in her right leg. The tail of the anesthesia needle has wings that divide the air, so it can also be regarded as a needle-shaped dart.
Anesthetizing a person in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius is no different from killing that person.
Did dad invite Yelena here to meet just to kill her
"Come out! Come out—" Xia Lei suddenly lost control. He stood up with Elena in his arms, and then roared.
The cold wind howled, and his voice was weakened in the wind, but it could still be heard far away.
His eyes quickly searched the surrounding environment, and then stopped in one direction.
A white figure came out from behind a huge rock. He held a modified light sniper rifle in his hand. It was not difficult to see that it was the light sniper rifle that shot the anesthesia needle and hit Elena.
A white figure is coming this way.
Wearing a white camouflage suit, he blended in with the environment. He wore a white hood on his head and a white mask on his mouth. Only his eyes were exposed, and his face could not be seen. However, the moment he appeared, Xia Lei saw his face at a glance.
He is dad Xia Changhe.
Xia Changhe walked over to this side.
Xia Lei carried Yelena behind a rock and put her down. He put down the equipment bag on his back, then took off his jacket and covered Yelena's body.
"Dad, what do you want to do?" Xia Lei faced Xia Changhe and said angrily, "She is Yelena, she is like your daughter! Do you want to kill her? Why!"
Xia Changhe took off his mask and hood, and said in a calm tone, "Haven't you seen it yet? The person I want to date is you. I have my reasons for doing this, and my conversation with you cannot be heard by anyone. So. , I have to let Elena take a nap. Don’t worry, she has received very professional training, and she can sleep in the cavernous Siberia wearing a vest."
"If you want to talk to me, you can answer my call. I've been calling you every day for the past month, why don't you answer?"
"I have my reasons."
"Then tell me!" Xia Lei lost control of his emotions, "There are only two of us here, no one can hear our conversation."
Xia Changhe was silent.
Xia Lei said excitedly: "Did you know? Xia Long, Xia Jianghe, Xia Fan and Liang Jiayu asked me more than once where my grandpa went, but I couldn't tell them! You have two grandsons and two granddaughters. I want to see you, but why don’t you go home? Don’t tell me that you are worried that the Chinese government will investigate you. You are my father, and no one in China will hurt you!”
"Whenever you calm down, let's start talking about something." Xia Changhe said calmly.
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment. Xia Changhe's words were like a ladle of cold water poured on his head, cooling him down.
"Are you okay?" Xia Changhe asked.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, just tell me. What do you want to talk to me about? Share your adventure experience of abandoning your family and children? Do you know? Back then, when you left me and Xia Xue and disappeared , how do I feel? Let me tell you, it feels like I am the only one left in this world, which is very uncomfortable. In order to let Xia Xue go to school, I tore up the college admission notice, Go to the construction site to work. Those days were difficult, you know? I don’t want to go through it a second time, but now you are doing the same thing. It’s not enough for you to hurt me and Xia Xue once, and now you have to do it a second time Hurt more people! Tell me, why?"
Xia Changhe was silent for a moment before saying: "No matter what happens, no matter what you go through, you have to believe me. Everything I do is for your own good."
This was the answer Xia Changhe gave, avoiding all questions.
Xia Lei was so angry that he sneered, "You went to all this trouble to invite me here to meet me just to say this to me? But even if this is the case, I won't be surprised, because this It's your style. I really want to know, in the eyes of you as a father, who do Xia Xue and I mean? And what do your grandson and granddaughter mean to them? "
“Don’t be emotional, you shouldn’t have emotions.”
"What did you say?" Xia Lei was stunned for a moment.
"You don't have much time left."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xia Lei looked directly into Xia Changhe's eyes. What he saw was a pair of calm eyes, without any emotional fluctuations. What he saw was also a pair of unfathomable eyes, like the sea, unable to see through.
At this moment, Xia Lei awakened the mysterious energy hidden in his body. Stealing the memories and information from his father's brain was something he was not willing to do, otherwise he would have done it as soon as Xia Changhe showed up. What he hoped was that Xia Changhe would say it himself and give him the answer he wanted. Now it seems that Xia Changhe is not willing, and he even said something like "You don't have much time left." He did not have much time left, but this was his secret. He had never told anyone. How did his father know? Coupled with what Yan Fo and Augustman said before, he could no longer control it. Even his father wanted to know what secrets were hidden in his brain!
The energy field of mysterious energy was released and instantly surrounded Xia Changhe.
However, Xia Lei was stunned the next second. There was no brain wave of brain activity in the energy field of mysterious energy, so he could not capture Xia Changhe's thoughts! It is even more impossible to invade Xia Changhe's brain and steal the memory and information in it!
"You..." At this moment, the shock in Xia Lei's heart was indescribable!
Xia Changhe said calmly: "I know you have many, many questions in your mind, but I am not here to answer your questions. There are more important things waiting for you."
Xia Lei took two steps back and looked at Xia Changhe warily, "You...who are you?"
After testing the energy field, Xia Lei began to doubt his entire life.
He has always believed that his father Xia Changhe was just a free agent in the dark world. He struggled in the dark world because of his miserable childhood and eventually became a powerful man. He has a secret, but it should be a normal secret, and definitely not this. Until now, there are only three people whose brains his energy field cannot steal, one is the prehistoric One, one is Zhu Xuanyue, and the other is Da Vinci's replica Kerstin!
A very simple but very cruel fact was placed in front of Xia Lei - his father should be a normal person, but the father in front of him was definitely not!
who is he
Such questions point to his father.
At this moment, Xia Lei felt worse than death!
