The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

With Deng Shentong's speed, it was not too slow to reach the mountain range in the east.

When he arrived at his destination, the scene before him made him feel a chill.

The mountain was once a popular tourist attraction, attracting countless visitors who came to admire its magnificent scenery and unique ecological environment.

But the end of the world has come, and now everything has changed.

Deng Shentong stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the top. The originally green mountain was now covered with thick snow, a blanket of silver. The cold wind whistled past, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that seemed to penetrate one's bones.

Walking along the mountain road, Deng Shentong found that the trees around him had long since withered, leaving only dry branches swaying in the wind. The ground was covered with snow, and every step he took made a "crunching" sound.

He walked carefully, watching out for possible traps.

Continuing forward, Deng Shentong saw some remains of former buildings. These buildings were once places for tourists to rest and sightsee, but now they are just piles of dilapidated stones and wood scattered in the snow.

Although the mountain range appears barren and desolate today, it still exudes an aura of mystery.

Deng Shentong couldn't explain clearly where this unique aura came from, but he could clearly feel that it came from some powerful force.

He felt a similar feeling with every powerful opponent he encountered.

This seems to be a natural sensitivity of the superpower holders to energy fluctuations. After becoming Ipsilon, this feeling becomes even more obvious.

The further you go to the desolate area on the top of the mountain, the stronger the smell becomes.

As Deng Shentong gradually went deeper into the mountains, there were no signs of human activity, only silence and coldness.

Suddenly, a strong wind came howling, sweeping in snow all over the sky. Deng Shentong narrowed his eyes and tried his best to resist the raging wind and snow.

An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart, prompting him to quicken his pace.

In the blizzard, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a huge figure. When he got closer, he was surprised to find that it was a huge white bear.

Strange beast!

The white bear stared at Deng Shentong with its ferocious eyes.

Deng Shentong became alert instantly and quickly entered combat mode, preparing for possible attack from the white bear.

At this moment, the white bear let out a deafening roar and pounced towards Deng Shentong.

Deng Shentong's body reacted extremely fast, even faster than his mind. In an instant, he quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger without hesitation. A bullet shot out like lightning and pierced the white bear's chest accurately.

As expected, the polar bear's huge body fell down like a mountain.

Deng Shentong walked forward carefully to check and found that the white bear seemed to have only the strength of a Beta-level Inhuman. However, when his eyes fell on the white bear's back, a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

There were three hideous and deep scars across the entire back of the polar bear, which was a shocking sight.

Deng Shentong carefully observed these scars, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could these be marks left by the claws of some giant bird? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, after all, such scars did not look like they could be caused by other animals.

After careful consideration, Deng Shentong became more and more certain that this was indeed the territory of the mysterious black bird.

This discovery made him somewhat excited, and his breathing became slightly heavier. Although this meant that he might face more unknown dangers and challenges, he was one step closer to the truth.

After thinking about it, Deng Shentong still did not go back to call the team members to come up, and prepared to conduct further investigation by himself.

Facing opponents of the same level, he was not sure he could protect everyone.

The closer we get to the top of the mountain, the thinner and colder the air becomes, and the dead trees around us become scattered and smaller.

The sky was dark and a thick fog gradually rose around. The rugged rocks in the mountains looked eerie and terrifying in the fog, like ghostly shadows.

Deng Shentong, however, looked calm. He climbed up the mountain path, holding Griffith in his hand, as leisurely as an old farmer carrying a pot of wine to visit someone else's house.

However, his clear eyes still revealed a sense of vigilance, indicating that he was highly concentrated at the moment.

Soon, the mountain road came to an end, and a whistling cold wind blew through the valley, slightly dispersing some of the fog.

Deng Shentong gathered his long silver hair that was blowing across his vision, and subconsciously looked at the situation in front of him, but the next moment his eyes widened in horror.

There is a thousand-foot cliff on the top of the mountain, and on the edge of the cliff there is a primitive little house built with stones and wood.

The most incredible thing was that a ray of warm light actually came out from the simple window!

How could humans survive in such a barren and cold area?

Deng Shentong narrowed his eyes.

No, it can't be an ordinary human. He must be at least a high-level mutant. It's just that it's not clear whether he is a vicious and evil person.

However, since this place has been designated as territory by someone, perhaps the owner of this house might know something about Yanyunwei’s affairs.

Deng Shentong decided to go forward and find out what was going on. He walked lightly and slowly approached the hut. Just as he reached the door, it suddenly opened.

A figure appeared at the door. With the help of the dim light in the house, Deng Shentong could see the other person's face clearly. It was a thin and short girl.

She looked a little weird, with her long black hair covering most of her face, revealing only half of her pale and dirty face and one dark eye.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The girl's voice was cold and full of vigilance.

Her pronunciation was also a little clumsy, as if she hadn't talked to humans for a long time.

Deng Shentong revealed his identity and purpose. The girl's eyes flashed with surprise, but soon returned to indifference.

"Come in." The girl moved aside and Deng Shentong walked into the house. A warm feeling hit him in the face. It turned out that there was a fire burning inside.

The room was simple and tidy, with animal skins, dried bacon and other food hanging on the walls. The girl sat in front of a rough wooden table, staring at Deng Shentong.

Deng Shentong noticed that she was wearing some kind of warm clothing mixed with feathers and animal fur, and she looked like a primitive person.

This is very strange. How can a girl who looks so fragile survive in the cold wilderness of the apocalypse?

He looked around quietly, and saw no basic hunting equipment in the house.

"What do you want from me?" the girl asked straight to the point.

Deng Shentong told her about his origins and the affairs of Yanyunwei, and asked her if she knew anything.

The girl was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "No, I didn't leave the mountain, here."

Deng Shentong frowned slightly, "If you don't leave here, how will you survive?"

The girl pointed to the animal skins hanging on the wall and the dried meat on the table and said, "There are wild animals in the mountains."

Deng Shentong looked at her frail body and found it hard to imagine how she fought against the strange beasts in the mountains. To be honest, he did not sense any supernatural power from this girl.

"What's your name? Living here alone?" he couldn't help asking.

The girl nodded slightly, "I, Little Crow."

"Little Crow? What a good name. Why don't you live with others? There are many bases in the apocalypse that can provide supplies for survival."

Deng Shentong persuaded.

The little crow lowered his head and fiddled with the feathers on his clothes, "I... hate people."

There was a hint of stubbornness in her voice.

Deng Shentong shook his head helplessly. It seemed that she was a solitary person.

"Okay, then do you know if there are any other survivors or special places nearby? Maybe they can help me with my mission."

Little Crow raised his head, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "I... have seen some strange things, I don't know, is it true?"

"Strange things?" Deng Shentong immediately became interested, "Tell me the details."

Little Crow recalled: "Sometimes at night, I would hear strange noises coming from afar, like some huge creature moving. Another time, I saw a strange black bird appear in the sky and fly down the mountain."

Deng Shentong pondered for a moment, and all these clues seemed to point to the black bird.

"Thank you for the information you provided. This is my contact information. If you need any help, you can always contact me." Deng Shentong said goodbye to the girl named Xiao Ya, left his business card, and stood up to leave the cabin.

Just then, his eyes caught sight of the birdcage hanging on the corner of the eaves. The room was dimly lit and he had not noticed the presence of such a thing before.

Inside the birdcage, a pitch-black crow was sleeping on a pole. It looked listless, and its feathers were a little messy, as if it was sick.

Deng Shentong suddenly felt that the little crow looked familiar. He stopped, turned to look at the little crow and asked, "Is this yours?"

Her expression froze for a moment, but Deng Shentong still caught it sharply.

She just nodded and said, "Its name is Xiaojiu."
