Journey to the Rose

In addition to gunshots, there was also the sound of large pieces of glass breaking.

So Ruan Xi guessed that the shot hit the main cabin of the icebreaker.Now he is lying on his stomach on the deck. He can't see clearly what is in the darkness in the distance. He can only use the silver iron bucket used to store the available water as a cover, move his body quietly, and look back at the boat that was going to the main cabin just now. Lu Zhenghe walked.

Sure enough, Lu Zhenghe was also lying on the deck.

Lu Zhenghe carefully propped up his arms, the movement was very slow, and the strength of his arms barely supported his upper body.His back was moving slightly, and the sound of glass shards clattering to the ground entered Ruan Xi's ears one after another.

After he got up from the ground completely, Lu Zhenghe still had a bloody cut on his hand.He lowered his head and licked the wound, and the blood stopped coming out.

The light from the lighthouse seemed to no longer shine.

They don't know anything about the situation near the icebreaker, so now they can only fight in the dark and gamble on luck,

"Who is it?" A deep voice came from the headset.

Because the signal was not very good, Lu Zhenghe could hear it intermittently.

Lu Zhenghe replied: "It's not important anymore. We will act separately."

Li Shen became anxious, and his tone was urgent: "Why are you splitting up? Don't do it alone, in case the other party is a night sniper with a perfect shot..."

"I don't have time to think too much."

Obviously Lu Zhenghe didn't listen to Li Shen's words: "I'll go to the guardrail."

Knowing that he couldn't hold him back, Li Shen didn't know if he could help, so he asked, "What about me?"

Without any hesitation, Lu Zhenghe said, "Protect the others."

Li Shen was silent: "..."

When he heard that Lu Zhenghe wanted to act on his own, Ruan Xi, who was secretly listening to the movement, couldn't sit still.

He tapped the deck with the blade, stretched his neck, and said in a low voice, "You—take—on—me—ah!"

Lu Zhenghe didn't say a word as if he didn't hear it, just threw the rifle/gun behind his back to the front of his body, reached out and took a grenade launcher that Li Shen prepared next to the main cabin, pried open the bottom, Open the butt, and then load the ammunition. Charge the breech.

Ruan Xi recognized this thing.

Although it is small in size, it has extremely fierce firepower and strong destructive power. It is a lethal weapon that can penetrate the skulls of a group of people.

In the darkness, Lu Zhenghe put the launcher on his shoulders and took a few steps forward, taking advantage of the light from the lighthouse, he turned his head and glanced at Ruan Xi.

Afterwards, Lu Zhenghe's figure disappeared from the visible range inside the boat.

"..."

Depend on.

What kind of big alphaism is this?

Ruan Xi gritted his teeth with hatred, but due to the disparity in strength and the constraints of the environment, he really couldn't catch up with others. He took out the gun from the tactical holster on his thigh, and quietly followed Lu Zhenghe.

Not far away, the legendary "God" Holy City seems to be still sleeping in the night.

Its main body of the city is built on the cliff, and under the cliff is the glacier returning in a hurry.

This river is stagnant water, it does not flow into the sea, and there is no way to continue forward. It "turns around" at the vortex under the cliff, and turns back to Glacier City.

Because of the rapid rise in temperature, a blurry scene evaporated on the water.

Is it smoke or fog?

Ruan Xi could no longer see clearly.

The urban buildings here are the same as its name, most of them are round vaults, all of which are white with snow.

They are scattered high and low, closely connected one after another, like a large castle covered with ice and snow.In the dark night, there are only faint lights in the city building, one by one, emitting a faint light.Relying on these lights, Ruan Xi could clearly see the main outline of the city.

Where is Lu Zhenghe?

Ruan Xi squinted her eyes, unable to keep up with Lu Zhenghe's treacherous whereabouts and extraordinary speed.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two sounds different from the long-range gunshots came from the dark river. It was dull and more powerful. Ruan Xi deduced that it was the sound of howitzers hitting the target.

According to the gunshots, Ruan Xi determined Lu Zhenghe's location, so he followed his footsteps on the boat.

Lu Zhenghe moved too fast, two howitzers blasted out, and the edge of the cliff on the other side erupted with gold and silver lights, and then he disappeared into the original shooting point.

Holding the launcher, he took three steps at a time, held the gun in one hand and grabbed the rope in the other, jumped off the small icebreaker along the hanging ladder, stepped on the lonely speedboat floating on the water, turned on the engine, The speedboat traveled a certain distance at an extremely slow speed.

Going to the meeting alone?

But the icebreaker was much closer to the shore.

This "shore" does not refer to the large archway entering the city of Holy, but to the river banks on both sides of the river on the border.Ruan Xi had every reason to suspect that the attackers were waiting up there.

This embattled situation...

Ruan Xi was so angry that she wanted to shoot Lu Zhenghe, but she couldn't keep up, so she just stayed in the boat and found a cover to hide. moving target, quickly moved his sight, and fired two shots at the shore from time to time, until someone fell to the ground in response.

Yay, □□ was shot!

A muffled sound passed overhead, like something sharp piercing the air.

Ruan Xi guessed that it was Li Shen's "ghost crossbow". Sure enough, such a weapon is more deadly in the dark.

Before I finished listening to the movement here, several gunshots came again without warning.

Surrounded by the screams of some fleeing people, or the sound of heavy objects flipping and falling into the water, the ice layer was broken, and the ice floes and water currents collided with each other.They should not have been involved in this war.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise that pierced the eardrums exploded, the hull suddenly tilted to one side, the wooden barrels on the deck rolled down one after another, the sound of collisions was heard one after another, and the soaring flames shot out from the poop deck.

In an instant, Ruan Xi could no longer feel the cold air in the glacier basin, and the heat brought by the fire was overwhelming, and the entire icebreaker stopped sailing when it approached the shore.

The hull was shaking and shaking violently.

Ruan Xi desperately resisted the urge to vomit, and clung to the bow rail.

He felt that his bones were shattered along with the hull, and he was about to be disintegrated into countless small fragments together with the hull, and then be sprinkled on the surface of the water and flow into an unknown river.Relying on the light of the fire, he could see clearly that Lu Zhenghe was standing on an abandoned speedboat on the river and looking back.

Lu Zhenghe was still there alone, and his subordinates would not let him die.

Ruan Xi wiped off the icy water on his face, grabbed the guardrail desperately, half-hanging, and stepped on the pedal that could still bear the weight with his toes.Now the angle of inclination of the ship's hull has reached [-] degrees to the water surface, and because he quietly followed Lu Zhenghe, he happened to be on the side where the ship's hull capsized. It is estimated that it will only take a few minutes for the entire icebreaker to dump on the river.

Just in time, he heard Li Shen shouting: "Fuck! The boat was pierced! Gu Zirong, you and Wen Kai lead Song Shumian into the water from the side of the hanging ladder first, and I threw a raft over there!"

"how about you!"

"I'm looking for Ruan Xi!"

Ruan Xi had a weapon hanging on his body, and his own weight was already heavy, but now he was hanging on the unsupportable guardrail. The bottom of his feet was the calm river surface like stagnant water, so he couldn't make a sound.He could even hear Li Shen's anxious footsteps stepping on the deck again and again.

He gasped for breath until the hull tipped into an arc that completely darkened the space around him.Ruan Xi thought to herself, this should be the side that all light cannot reach.He coughed hard, and seemed to be able to hear the harsh echo between the planks of the ship, as if he was the only one dying.

The water gurgles from the bottom of the feet.

The wrist no longer belonged to her, and without any strength, Ruan Xi raised her eyes wearily, looking at the wrist, as if she was looking at someone else's wrist hanging here, it no longer belonged to her.

Whoops, whoops—

Ruan Xi took a big breath, trying to exert some more strength, but it was useless for him to climb up now, because the hull would not be straightened by his own strength.

Obviously, what he needs to consider now is the safest position to fall into the freezing water.

Can it be picked up after falling in?

Will the Xiaoyan Lingdao be washed away?

If after falling, the ground fission suddenly comes again, and the tsunami comes again, I will definitely not be able to live.

By the way, he hasn't told Lu Zhenghe yet: Your brain is really broken!

Also, I promised Xiaoyan Lingdao that I would replace it with a strong and durable cowhide scabbard.Now this scabbard is too squeamish, even a light bump will leave marks.

The last two things suddenly became all the strength to support Ruan Xi's life.

He gritted his teeth again, glanced at the bottom of his feet, and found that he still couldn't see anything clearly. The pitch-black glacier was like the abyssal mouth of an ancient monster.

Just let it go.

Falling into cold water and figuring out how to swim out... is better than being slapped to death on the surface by an icebreaker.

Ruan Xi always walks the talk.

In the next second, he fell straight into the ice water.

When she first fell in, Ruan Xi panicked.

Like a normal drowning person, he opened his arms and fluttered a few times, and found that the water temperature in this river basin was enough to freeze a person's body cold within minutes.After the lungs were squeezed rapidly, there was not much oxygen left, and Ruan Xi's hands and feet were about to become unconscious and stiff.

If there was no muffled sound of water around him, he would have thought he had fallen into a block of ice.

Ruan Xi couldn't open her eyes in the water, so she could only close her eyes desperately to prevent the water from entering, so as to prevent the discomfort of the eyes from bringing more pressure on the body.But in water, it is impossible to completely isolate water.Enduring the pain in his eyes, he went up desperately and stepped on the water with his feet, but he felt that not only water but also chunks of small ice floes prevented him from going up.So he tried to control his arms that were about to become stiff from the cold, and tremblingly stretched out his hands from the water surface, waving away the ice floes blocking his head.

The icebreaker is not big, so be patient.

He told himself so, enduring the cold, struggling to stick his head out of the water, and finally lay down on an ice floe, panting heavily.

The moment she breathed in the fresh air, Ruan Xi's first reaction was to subconsciously check if the Xiaoyan Lingdao behind her was still there.

·

After the sound of the hull exploding, Lu Zhenghe turned his head.

The ammunition of the howitzer launcher on his shoulder is not much, and he needs to quickly return to the cabin to reload after it is used up, but the other side has such a powerful weapon and dares to use it against him, this is what he did not expect .

When the hull began to tilt, Lu Zhenghe retreated.

For some reason, he didn't see Ruan Xi falling into the water, nor did he see Ruan Xi being shot or injured, but he felt vaguely uneasy.

At first, he tried his best to overcome this inexplicable discomfort, but he still couldn't convince himself, so he decided to return to the ship to find someone.Make sure it's safe first.As a result, he did not find Ruan Xi.

Military orders are like mountains, Wen Kai's rank is not as high as Li Shen's, and everything must be obeyed by the commander, so Wen Kai's mission is to bring Song Shumian and Gu Zirong to the shore of the holy city safely, where the best protection mechanism of the holy city-state is located. All the wars outside the border have nothing to do with this city.

And the fire fight just happened happened on both sides of the glacier river.

Twenty-five minutes later, Lu Zhenghe picked up the frozen Ruan Xi from the water.

Three and ten minutes later, Ruan Xi was sent to the shore of Holy City.

"Ruan Xi? Can you still talk?" Lu Zhenghe called him.

no respond.

Ruan Xi's whole body was drenched, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her breathing was very shallow.Lu Zhenghe couldn't tell whether he was flustered or calm, but there was an imperceptible tremor all over his body.

He moved closer and saw that Ruan Xi's eyelashes were still moving, and his eyes were open.

He reached out to test the temperature of his neck with two fingers, then took off the coat that was not soaked, shook it, and opened it again, wrapping Ruan Xi in it.

Seeing that Lu Zhenghe's eyes were blood red, Wen Kai panicked. For the first time, he commanded Gu Zirong in a hurry: "Hurry up! Find a blanket!"

Gu Zirong was taken aback, "I can't find it, our things are all on the boat..."

Wen Kai stomped his feet, "Then... take off your clothes." After finishing speaking, he also took off his warm jacket, "Young master, please relax a bit, let me see if he has frostbite first?"

"Look." Lu Zhenghe was very calm.

After checking Ruan Xi's condition, Wen Kai heaved a sigh of relief, and tried Ruan Xi's chest again, "It's just frozen, and now my heart is beating very fast."

At this time, a deep voice came from Lu Zhenghe's headset: "Report, the count of the corpses here is over, there are ten in total, and two are still alive."

"I'll come over later," Lu Zhenghe touched Ruan Xi's unconsciously trembling hand, feeling that his body was too cold, "I'll hug him for a while."

Holy·43 idiot, he is 16 years old! !
