Double O swap life!
Chapter 174
Chen Nian has lived for 18 years, and this is the first time he has left Chensha. Although everything around him is nothing special, when he thinks that he is on another beacon, he can't help being excited.
He lay on the bed with his feet crossed, chatting with Jiang Dai, when he heard the door of the bathroom opened, Shaffley finished washing and came out.
There was a bath towel around Shaffley's waist. Obviously, he didn't wipe his body too seriously, and his skin was still covered with a layer of faint water. His short platinum-blond hair was blown dry, and it lay softly on his forehead. It could be used when he lowered his eyes. To describe meekly.
It is obviously an all-too-familiar look, but Chen Nian still can't move his eyes every time he sees it.
This was completely impossible for Chen Nian, who used to be in great need of freshness.
Chen Nian put down the terminal, and when Shaffley sat on the side of the bed, he naturally embraced Alpha's shoulders with both hands, and rubbed his side face against Alpha's neck.
Resting so early is really a waste of tonight's time.
He was riding on a small boat, and following the ups and downs of the turbulent river, the waves pushed up the boat quickly and then fell heavily, the splashed water flowed into the boat and wet his clothes.
Sometimes it is gentle and slow, allowing the violent heartbeat and breathing to have a moment of relaxation.
Chen Nian couldn't figure out the law of the river's flow, and sometimes the sudden bumps would make him let out a small exclamation, and hug Shaffley even harder.
Similarly, his suddenly tense body will cause a little trouble for the Alpha who is steering, and he will breathe harder.
Chen Nian's fingertips curled up a strand of Shaffley's blond hair, and his voice was intermittent with the water waves: "Guess what my brother and Fu Tianhe will do now?"
"Huh?" Shafelai was obviously not used to Chen Nian mentioning others at this time. Compared with him, his skin was still relatively thin.
Chen Nian said deliberately: "Your fiancée is lying on the same bed with another Alpha right now."
After two seconds, Shaffley replied: "But am I not stealing fish now?"
Chen Nian grinned sullenly, Shaffley's thin lips brushed against the back of his neck, the tooth marks left during marking had long since disappeared, but the pheromone had already melted into their mutual blood.
The translucent tattoo was becoming a more radiant crimson color with the passage of time.
Across the wall, the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped.
When Fu Tianhe came out, he saw Chen Ci sitting by the bed, the young man was just looking out of the window quietly, his amber eyes were quiet, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing Fu Tianhe come out, Chen Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at him.
Fu Tianhe had just taken a shower, and put on the blindfold again. He was really not used to having his empty eye sockets directly exposed to the air.
Fu Tianhe sat down beside Chen Ci, and the Omega boy raised his hand, tucked it behind his head, and untied the straps tied together with his fingertips.
Fu Tianhe closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling that the blindfold was taken off by Chen Ci.
The cool fingertips lightly touched his eyelids, and with a little force, they could be sunken and pressed down.
"how do you feel today?"
"Fortunately."
Fu Tianhe opened his eyes, and the situation in his eyes was revealed in front of Chen Ci.
All the previous wounds were almost healed, and Chen Ci had no way of getting a glimpse of what was going on inside Fu Tianhe's body. Since Ashes can pierce from the eyes, it shows that it has actually invaded the brain.
Fu Tianhe's thinking and physical functions have not been affected until now, which is already a blessing among misfortunes.
Chen Ci leaned forward and kissed the empty eye sockets lightly.
Fu Tianhe moved his hand slightly, and pressed Chen Ci's hand on the bedside.
statement.He said the name silently in his heart.
A name that makes you feel calm and steady just by saying it, which is very suitable for September.
After a long time, the statement was withdrawn.
"We're going to be with Chen Nian Shaffley next. Many things may not be very convenient. Let's do more today, okay?"
Of course Fu Tianhe would not have any objections.
He was just worried that Jiuyue's body would not be able to bear it, he was like a greedy monster who was insatiable, absorbing the nectar of youth, and refused to let go of even a drop.
But he also pays back.
It was an intoxicating enough night.
The tuberose blooming wantonly in the dark night is watered by the sweet and mellow sherry wine.
And the pure white flower branches wrapped in flowing amber are frozen in this moment, leaving an eternal beauty.
In the early morning of the next day, the four of them gathered in the living room after washing up. Compared with the other three who were full of energy, their speeches were listless. To be precise, they were a bit empty.
Fu Tianhe couldn't help feeling guilty, he really squeezed Jiuyue a little too much yesterday.
The main reason is to rely solely on the inhibitory effect of kissing, which is actually not very good. If something unexpected happens outside, Jiuyue can only give him blood.
Fu Tianhe didn't want Jiuyue to have any possibility of injury in the icy and snowy world, too low temperature is not conducive to the recovery of the wound, and it is very likely that frostbite will leave scars.
So last night he... ahem.
Shaffley unfolded the virtual screen, and the pictures taken by the satellite were very high-definition. The remains of the beacon were like a long-dead giant beast, silently dormant on the white ice field, and also covered by patches of snow , completely integrated.
The eyes are full of extremely monotonous white. If you don't know in advance that this coordinate point is the position of the moonlight, even if you have a high-definition satellite image, it is not easy to identify.
"The weather over there is not particularly good, let's go and see the situation first."
Shaffley sat in the pilot's seat of the aircraft, and their operation was classified as a secret, so no additional personnel were added, and Shaffley was in charge of the piloting.
"Good driver."
Chen Nian sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt. He has operated the aircraft many times in the game. Although the virtual and reality cannot be compared, he can still help Shaffley.
Shafele thought of yesterday's speechless oolong: "I might as well change my surname to Vitalievsky."
Fu Tianhe sat in the back row, raised his hand silently, and wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
Chen Ci leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and dozed off, obviously the goal he had been pursuing all along was just ahead in a few hours, but he was not as excited as he imagined.
All he had in his heart was the hope that everything would pass as quickly as possible, since Fu Tianhe's life was at stake, Chen Ci didn't want to take any risk of long nights and dreams.
With the roar of the engine, the aircraft lifted off smoothly, left Sanshui, and headed for the Greenland ice and snow plateau where the moonlight is.
Shaffley was very cautious throughout the whole process. He was not sure whether the unknown enemy hidden in the dark knew all their actions, and whether he would take the opportunity to create an accident and hurt the two brothers.
Previously, Chen Ci and Chen Nian acted separately. Now, they are both on the same aircraft. If there is an accident, there is no room for "fault tolerance".
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. As the aircraft approached the polar circle, the visibility decreased, and under the clouds, there was falling snow.
Satellites provide them with the most accurate navigation, and Shaffley is close to the red coordinate point on the map. Everything here is covered with ice and snow, and there is no trace of human existence from above.
Since the collapse of the moon, the Greenland ice and snow plateau has been blocked, and even the bravest explorers have never stepped into it. It has truly become a restricted area.
No matter how powerful the spirit of exploration is, it is no match for the fear of Ashes.
"Below is the moonlight." Shaffley said suddenly.
Chen Ci opened his eyes, and approached the window with Fu Tianhe, looking down, it was still a white-capped world, and the extraordinarily huge hills were standing silently in the wind and snow, which had already been dyed white.
No, that is not a hill, but the remains of the moonlight after it collapsed.
"It's so big." Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.
"When Moonlight was built, it was actually the smallest of the six beacons due to the high difficulty." Shaffley stared at the situation below, "We are looking for a place to land, so hold on to it."
The aircraft lowered its altitude and passed above the moonlight. It circled like a homing bird and gradually lowered its altitude.
The wind and snow were raging, and the flying snowflakes crackled like rice grains on the glass, blocking the view.
As expected, Shaffley was born in a serious military academy. After some dazzling operations, the aircraft shuttled through the snowstorm without any risk, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't rush to turn off the engine. The instrument showed that the temperature outside was minus 34 degrees.
Chen Nian didn't have much idea about this number. He lived in the beacon since he was a child. Although the underground city also has four seasons, the temperature is mostly concentrated between 35 and [-] degrees.
As for the top floor, he and Chen Ci switched identities in spring, and it's not winter yet.
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe, who have climbed snow-capped mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau before, know how frighteningly low this is, not to mention the wind makes the body feel the temperature.
The statement specifically reminded Chen Nian: "Put some self-heating stickers on your underwear, your body has just recovered, so don't freeze."
"Okay." Chen Nian agreed and began to change clothes.
Their winter clothing is provided by the Sanshui top layer, which is light and warm, but also requires many pieces to be put on layer by layer.
At the end of wearing it, Chen Nian felt that he had become a matryoshka doll, and his arms could not be stretched out. He swore he had never worn so many clothes in his life.
Shaffley leaned over to straighten his trousers, put the socks on the outside of his thermal pants, and fixed them with belts.
They have to walk on the snow field. If the snow falls in the shoes, they must not get their feet wet, otherwise, in such a low temperature, frostbite is only a matter of minutes.
After more than ten minutes, the four of them got dressed and were sweating profusely.
The temperature inside the aircraft was kept at the most suitable eighteen degrees, and they all wore thick equipment, and they were all extremely hot.
"let's go."
Shaffley opened the hatch, and the icy wind rushed into the cabin immediately, washing away the originally warm air, and fled in all directions. The heat disappeared instantly, and the whole person suddenly became refreshed.
Fu Tianhe stepped out of the aircraft first, and sank six to seven centimeters with one foot. He turned around and grabbed Chen Ci's wrist with his thick gloved hand to help him get off better.
Chen Nian and Shafelai handed a few backpacks to Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe outside before leaving the aircraft.
The hatch is closed, and it enters sleep mode, waiting for the return of the four.
They carried their own bags on their backs. Chen Nian was just recovering from a serious injury, and he carried the lightest load. Only his own food and water, sleeping bag and other things were put in Shaffley's bag.
The first time Chen Niandou saw real snow, he couldn't help stamping his feet vigorously. Under the snow was solid frozen soil, harder than stones.
Wherever you can see, there are jagged black mountain peaks, which have been blowing and blowing in the wind and snow for thousands of years, and the white snow is as fine as sand grains, so dry that it can't be shaped at all.
Chen Nian tried several times, but finally gave up. The snow fell from between his fingers and was swept away by the wind.
In fact, in the warm south of Greenland, there is a piece of green land, where flowers and trees bloom on the green meadows in summer, and most of the villages and pastures are also distributed there.
However, as the sea level rises, everything is submerged, leaving only the barren permafrost in the middle that has not melted for thousands of years.
Why did scientists choose a site in Greenland, which has a harsh climate?The reason is very simple. Under the ice sheet with a thickness of 3000 meters, there are extremely rich mineral resources and the most important fresh water hidden.
The sudden reduction of the land area will inevitably make it difficult to extract resources. If the moonlight is successfully built, it will be able to exist as a treasure trove of resources in the future.
The four of them wore goggles and hats, and with every breath, a white mist would rise in front of them, quickly forming shattered ice at the tips of their hair.
Chen Nian obviously felt uncomfortable breathing. The cold air irritated the inside of his nasal cavity, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub it.
Among the four people present, only Shaffley has the most typical high nose bridge due to his race, which is good for warming up the cold air.
Chen Ci looked at the huge collapsed building not far away, and could vaguely see the layered battlements that were once divided into many areas. The heavy pipes surrounded by the outer walls were covered with thick ice, and the flat metal twisted into unimaginable shapes. , died in this ice field.
Everything is so similar to the mirage he saw on the beach in the abandoned suburb.
Five months later, he finally arrived here.
"Let's go." Shaffley said.
The moonlight was ahead, and there was no need for a navigation system to lead the way. They just needed to look at the huge collapsed figure and keep moving forward.
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe have rich travel experience, and they have even been to the most difficult area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Shaffley has excellent physical fitness and has been trained in a military academy. No matter how difficult the journey is, he is not a problem.
Only Chen Nian, who had never taken a step away from the beacon before, and had just recovered from a serious injury, had a hard time walking in the snow.
Chen Nian grabbed the trekking pole with both hands and tried hard to keep up with the steps ahead.
Shafelai took the lead, followed by Chen Nian, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe at the end.
Four people form a team, stepping on the footprints of the predecessors, saving effort and speeding up the journey.
After adapting to this pace, Chen Nian couldn't help but look around. Except for the black mountains and white snow, Chen Nian was terribly monotonous and lonely.
He released his mental power, explored further afield, and suddenly discovered some unusual existences.
--what is that?
Chen Nian didn't make a sound, because when he opened his mouth, he would be poured into countless icy wind and snow, even his tongue would be frozen.
He reminded Chen Ci and Shaffley with his mental power, and led them to explore there.
Shaffley paused briefly as he realized that there were many of those things.
"Go over and have a look." This was for Fu Tianhe.
Shaffley turned and led the team to the place where the strangeness was discovered, and other colors besides black and white gradually appeared in front of him.
In fact, it is not much different, the brown ash is not conspicuous hidden in the snow.
It was a plump cod, which had obviously been dead for a long time. Its tail was half mechanized, and it was a primitive creature.
Shaffley went to the side and picked it up with a trekking pole. The cod carcass and the ice below were frozen and hard.
Chen Shi swept away the falling snow with his feet, and there were more primitive corpses buried in the white, mostly cod, salmon, and flounder, as well as a small amount of krill. Without exception, all of them were mechanized.
There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, and they died because they were taken out of the water and dried up. These fish and shrimps were neatly arranged in a row, as if some kind of omen, extremely weird.
A snow witch stood on a protruding rock not far away, its petite figure was blurred by the falling snowflakes.
"Did something fish them up?" Chen Nian whispered.
No one can answer this question for now.
Fu Tianhe knelt down, looked at the corpses one by one, and said, "Do you know Daxai?"
Chen Nian: "What is that?"
"Otters like to eat fish, but because they like to hunt, they often kill more than they can eat. They will arrange the fish they catch neatly on the shore, just like displaying tributes for sacrifices."
"If there are otters near the pond, the fish in the whole pond may not survive."
Chen Nian: "You mean, some kind of bloodthirsty creature may have come and fished them out of the water?"
Fu Tianhe nodded: "It's just a possibility."
Chen Ci had already started looking for footprints and other traces in the vicinity, but the snow was so heavy that all traces were submerged.
"Let's be careful." Shaffley said, he recorded the coordinates here, and led the team back to Moonlight.
The wind and snow were too big, and there was no tendency to stop for a while, so they had better not stay outside for too long.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the road ahead was finally blocked by a metal wall covered with ice and snow.
Chen Ci stretched out his hand and lightly touched the outer wall of the moonlight. He was wearing thick gloves and couldn't feel it clearly, but he also knew that it should be extremely cold.
This is a dead beacon.
Next they need to walk along the outline of the exterior, looking for possible access passages.
The letter specimen is very large, not to mention that after the collapse, the area in contact with the ground has expanded by more than ten times. It is not easy to search along the edge.
If you're unlucky, it can take days.
Everyone is mentally prepared, and the materials they carry are enough to spend half a month here.
No one spoke anymore, Chen Ci, Chen Nian, and Shaffley possessed spiritual power and could communicate without words.
Fu Tianhe himself also has a lot of outdoor experience, not to mention that he follows the team without much effort.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will sound a little reminder.
The outer wall of the beacon, which was supposed to be circular, has become an irregular shape.
The collapse of the building structure brought out a series of chain reactions, and the surrounding terrain has undergone considerable changes as a result.
They braved the wind and snow along the way and headed forward, and they had to concentrate on finding a way to enter the interior of the moonlight.
Chen Ci looked at the tight metal structure and realized the special nature of this collapse.
Under normal circumstances, a building that collapsed from the base must be damaged everywhere. How could there be such a situation where you can't find a passage after walking for two or three hours?
The structure presented after the collapse of the moonlight seems to have been carefully designed to ensure a strict closure.
Shafelai, who was walking in the front, turned his head and looked at Chen Nian behind him.
Omega was slightly out of breath, he strictly stepped on the footprints left by Shaffley in front, his pace was much slower than at the beginning.
"Let's rest for a while," Shaffley paused.
They have to be prepared for a protracted battle, and they can't let the physical strength be exhausted too quickly because of the temporary progress, otherwise, once they are overdrawn, it will be very troublesome to recover.
Naturally, the others had no objection, so Shaffley found a place relatively sheltered from the wind, took out the tent from his bag, and set up camp with Fu Tianhe.
The two Alphas were strong and experienced, and soon set up a tent near the main body of the moonlight.
Chen Ci asked Chen Nian who was panting next to him: "How do you feel?"
"It's okay, this kind of strength can last." Chen Nian raised his hand and touched his chest.
The water arrow that once pierced his chest left two scars on his body, the front and back, and the damaged lungs have healed, but the function will be affected to a certain extent.
"I kind of want to go to the toilet." Chen Nian looked around, somewhat worried, "In this situation, you won't just freeze me right away?"
Chen Ci took off the glove on his right hand, exposing his bare hand to the cold air. Ten seconds later, he put the glove back on again: "Probably not, it's just a little cold."
Chen Nian was amused by his serious look.
That's right, it's not a big deal to put your hand outside for a short time, it's just a pee, as long as the speed is faster, there should be no problem, right?
Chen Nian: "Tell me, will it be frozen into an icicle?"
Statement: "I don't know, try?"
"Then I'll go." Chen Nian stood up and walked a little further away.
Noticing his departure, Shaffley asked vigilantly, "What did you do?"
Statement: "Make icicles."
Shaffley: ?
Two minutes later, Chen Nian came back.
"How?" Fu Tianhe couldn't help asking, he actually wanted to let go.
"It's too cold." Trembling, Chen Nian rubbed against Shaffley, and said to Fu Tianhe, "Try to pee as fast as you can."
"Okay." Fu Tianhe listened to the opinions of his predecessors and went to solve the problem.
In addition to water, there are other metabolites in urine. The freezing point is actually below zero. Even if the outside temperature is minus 34 degrees, it is impossible to freeze the urine at about 36 degrees above zero into ice in an instant. column.
Fu Tianhe observed quite curiously, seeing his urine falling on the ice surface like hot water, melting a big hole in a blink of an eye.
Good guy, it turns out that this method can be used to defrost!
He really didn't know before.
Fu Tianhe trembled, quickly pulled up his pants, and then put on his gloves.
His guy didn't feel too cold, but his fingers were stinging from the cold.
Fu Tianhe stood where he was, watching the mist steam up, and then be frozen into icy balls in mid-air, rustling down.
After a series of reactions had almost disappeared, he turned around and went back, ready to share this newly acquired knowledge with everyone.
After hearing Fu Tianhe's words, even Shaffley was a little ready to move.
He had never been to such a cold place before. Although he had been in the game, the avatar didn't need to pee.
"I'll try it too." Shafelai walked towards the place where Chen Nian and Fu Tianhe had solved the problem.
3 minutes later, he came back.
It's just that his complexion is not particularly good-looking.
"what happened?"
Seeing that all three of them had gone, Chen Ci seemed a little out of place if he didn't go, so he also stood up.
"Remember to be a little careful." Shaffley reminded with a dark face, "Don't pee on your hands, it will freeze."
The three gathered together and were taken aback.
Statement: …………………
Chen Nian: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Even Fu Tianhe couldn't help it, he hastened to forcefully suppress the corners of his lips that were raised indiscriminately, after all, he and Shaffley had only known each other for two days, so they still need to be more polite when getting along.
The statement goes to the designated place.
It was found that three pits were lined up on the ground. The depth and size of the three pits were different, but it was obvious from them that the men had a ridiculous desire to win.
Statement: …………………
When he came back to his senses, Chen Ci found himself wondering why he didn't drink more water on the aircraft.
Two minutes later, a fourth pit appeared side by side on the snow.
He lay on the bed with his feet crossed, chatting with Jiang Dai, when he heard the door of the bathroom opened, Shaffley finished washing and came out.
There was a bath towel around Shaffley's waist. Obviously, he didn't wipe his body too seriously, and his skin was still covered with a layer of faint water. His short platinum-blond hair was blown dry, and it lay softly on his forehead. It could be used when he lowered his eyes. To describe meekly.

"Huh?" Shafelai was obviously not used to Chen Nian mentioning others at this time. Compared with him, his skin was still relatively thin.
Chen Nian said deliberately: "Your fiancée is lying on the same bed with another Alpha right now."
After two seconds, Shaffley replied: "But am I not stealing fish now?"
Chen Nian grinned sullenly, Shaffley's thin lips brushed against the back of his neck, the tooth marks left during marking had long since disappeared, but the pheromone had already melted into their mutual blood.
The translucent tattoo was becoming a more radiant crimson color with the passage of time.
Across the wall, the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped.
When Fu Tianhe came out, he saw Chen Ci sitting by the bed, the young man was just looking out of the window quietly, his amber eyes were quiet, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing Fu Tianhe come out, Chen Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at him.
Fu Tianhe had just taken a shower, and put on the blindfold again. He was really not used to having his empty eye sockets directly exposed to the air.

Of course Fu Tianhe would not have any objections.

They have to walk on the snow field. If the snow falls in the shoes, they must not get their feet wet, otherwise, in such a low temperature, frostbite is only a matter of minutes.
After more than ten minutes, the four of them got dressed and were sweating profusely.
The temperature inside the aircraft was kept at the most suitable eighteen degrees, and they all wore thick equipment, and they were all extremely hot.
"let's go."
Shaffley opened the hatch, and the icy wind rushed into the cabin immediately, washing away the originally warm air, and fled in all directions. The heat disappeared instantly, and the whole person suddenly became refreshed.
Fu Tianhe stepped out of the aircraft first, and sank six to seven centimeters with one foot. He turned around and grabbed Chen Ci's wrist with his thick gloved hand to help him get off better.
Chen Nian and Shafelai handed a few backpacks to Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe outside before leaving the aircraft.
The hatch is closed, and it enters sleep mode, waiting for the return of the four.
They carried their own bags on their backs. Chen Nian was just recovering from a serious injury, and he carried the lightest load. Only his own food and water, sleeping bag and other things were put in Shaffley's bag.
The first time Chen Niandou saw real snow, he couldn't help stamping his feet vigorously. Under the snow was solid frozen soil, harder than stones.
Wherever you can see, there are jagged black mountain peaks, which have been blowing and blowing in the wind and snow for thousands of years, and the white snow is as fine as sand grains, so dry that it can't be shaped at all.
Chen Nian tried several times, but finally gave up. The snow fell from between his fingers and was swept away by the wind.
In fact, in the warm south of Greenland, there is a piece of green land, where flowers and trees bloom on the green meadows in summer, and most of the villages and pastures are also distributed there.
However, as the sea level rises, everything is submerged, leaving only the barren permafrost in the middle that has not melted for thousands of years.
Why did scientists choose a site in Greenland, which has a harsh climate?The reason is very simple. Under the ice sheet with a thickness of 3000 meters, there are extremely rich mineral resources and the most important fresh water hidden.
The sudden reduction of the land area will inevitably make it difficult to extract resources. If the moonlight is successfully built, it will be able to exist as a treasure trove of resources in the future.
The four of them wore goggles and hats, and with every breath, a white mist would rise in front of them, quickly forming shattered ice at the tips of their hair.
Chen Nian obviously felt uncomfortable breathing. The cold air irritated the inside of his nasal cavity, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub it.
Among the four people present, only Shaffley has the most typical high nose bridge due to his race, which is good for warming up the cold air.
Chen Ci looked at the huge collapsed building not far away, and could vaguely see the layered battlements that were once divided into many areas. The heavy pipes surrounded by the outer walls were covered with thick ice, and the flat metal twisted into unimaginable shapes. , died in this ice field.
Everything is so similar to the mirage he saw on the beach in the abandoned suburb.
Five months later, he finally arrived here.
"Let's go." Shaffley said.
The moonlight was ahead, and there was no need for a navigation system to lead the way. They just needed to look at the huge collapsed figure and keep moving forward.
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe have rich travel experience, and they have even been to the most difficult area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Shaffley has excellent physical fitness and has been trained in a military academy. No matter how difficult the journey is, he is not a problem.
Only Chen Nian, who had never taken a step away from the beacon before, and had just recovered from a serious injury, had a hard time walking in the snow.
Chen Nian grabbed the trekking pole with both hands and tried hard to keep up with the steps ahead.
Shafelai took the lead, followed by Chen Nian, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe at the end.
Four people form a team, stepping on the footprints of the predecessors, saving effort and speeding up the journey.
After adapting to this pace, Chen Nian couldn't help but look around. Except for the black mountains and white snow, Chen Nian was terribly monotonous and lonely.
He released his mental power, explored further afield, and suddenly discovered some unusual existences.
--what is that?
Chen Nian didn't make a sound, because when he opened his mouth, he would be poured into countless icy wind and snow, even his tongue would be frozen.
He reminded Chen Ci and Shaffley with his mental power, and led them to explore there.
Shaffley paused briefly as he realized that there were many of those things.
"Go over and have a look." This was for Fu Tianhe.
Shaffley turned and led the team to the place where the strangeness was discovered, and other colors besides black and white gradually appeared in front of him.
In fact, it is not much different, the brown ash is not conspicuous hidden in the snow.
It was a plump cod, which had obviously been dead for a long time. Its tail was half mechanized, and it was a primitive creature.
Shaffley went to the side and picked it up with a trekking pole. The cod carcass and the ice below were frozen and hard.
Chen Shi swept away the falling snow with his feet, and there were more primitive corpses buried in the white, mostly cod, salmon, and flounder, as well as a small amount of krill. Without exception, all of them were mechanized.
There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, and they died because they were taken out of the water and dried up. These fish and shrimps were neatly arranged in a row, as if some kind of omen, extremely weird.
A snow witch stood on a protruding rock not far away, its petite figure was blurred by the falling snowflakes.
"Did something fish them up?" Chen Nian whispered.
No one can answer this question for now.
Fu Tianhe knelt down, looked at the corpses one by one, and said, "Do you know Daxai?"
Chen Nian: "What is that?"
"Otters like to eat fish, but because they like to hunt, they often kill more than they can eat. They will arrange the fish they catch neatly on the shore, just like displaying tributes for sacrifices."
"If there are otters near the pond, the fish in the whole pond may not survive."
Chen Nian: "You mean, some kind of bloodthirsty creature may have come and fished them out of the water?"
Fu Tianhe nodded: "It's just a possibility."
Chen Ci had already started looking for footprints and other traces in the vicinity, but the snow was so heavy that all traces were submerged.
"Let's be careful." Shaffley said, he recorded the coordinates here, and led the team back to Moonlight.
The wind and snow were too big, and there was no tendency to stop for a while, so they had better not stay outside for too long.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the road ahead was finally blocked by a metal wall covered with ice and snow.
Chen Ci stretched out his hand and lightly touched the outer wall of the moonlight. He was wearing thick gloves and couldn't feel it clearly, but he also knew that it should be extremely cold.
This is a dead beacon.
Next they need to walk along the outline of the exterior, looking for possible access passages.
The letter specimen is very large, not to mention that after the collapse, the area in contact with the ground has expanded by more than ten times. It is not easy to search along the edge.
If you're unlucky, it can take days.
Everyone is mentally prepared, and the materials they carry are enough to spend half a month here.
No one spoke anymore, Chen Ci, Chen Nian, and Shaffley possessed spiritual power and could communicate without words.
Fu Tianhe himself also has a lot of outdoor experience, not to mention that he follows the team without much effort.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will sound a little reminder.
The outer wall of the beacon, which was supposed to be circular, has become an irregular shape.
The collapse of the building structure brought out a series of chain reactions, and the surrounding terrain has undergone considerable changes as a result.
They braved the wind and snow along the way and headed forward, and they had to concentrate on finding a way to enter the interior of the moonlight.
Chen Ci looked at the tight metal structure and realized the special nature of this collapse.
Under normal circumstances, a building that collapsed from the base must be damaged everywhere. How could there be such a situation where you can't find a passage after walking for two or three hours?
The structure presented after the collapse of the moonlight seems to have been carefully designed to ensure a strict closure.
Shafelai, who was walking in the front, turned his head and looked at Chen Nian behind him.
Omega was slightly out of breath, he strictly stepped on the footprints left by Shaffley in front, his pace was much slower than at the beginning.
"Let's rest for a while," Shaffley paused.
They have to be prepared for a protracted battle, and they can't let the physical strength be exhausted too quickly because of the temporary progress, otherwise, once they are overdrawn, it will be very troublesome to recover.
Naturally, the others had no objection, so Shaffley found a place relatively sheltered from the wind, took out the tent from his bag, and set up camp with Fu Tianhe.
The two Alphas were strong and experienced, and soon set up a tent near the main body of the moonlight.
Chen Ci asked Chen Nian who was panting next to him: "How do you feel?"
"It's okay, this kind of strength can last." Chen Nian raised his hand and touched his chest.
The water arrow that once pierced his chest left two scars on his body, the front and back, and the damaged lungs have healed, but the function will be affected to a certain extent.
"I kind of want to go to the toilet." Chen Nian looked around, somewhat worried, "In this situation, you won't just freeze me right away?"
Chen Ci took off the glove on his right hand, exposing his bare hand to the cold air. Ten seconds later, he put the glove back on again: "Probably not, it's just a little cold."
Chen Nian was amused by his serious look.
That's right, it's not a big deal to put your hand outside for a short time, it's just a pee, as long as the speed is faster, there should be no problem, right?
Chen Nian: "Tell me, will it be frozen into an icicle?"
Statement: "I don't know, try?"
"Then I'll go." Chen Nian stood up and walked a little further away.
Noticing his departure, Shaffley asked vigilantly, "What did you do?"
Statement: "Make icicles."
Shaffley: ?
Two minutes later, Chen Nian came back.
"How?" Fu Tianhe couldn't help asking, he actually wanted to let go.
"It's too cold." Trembling, Chen Nian rubbed against Shaffley, and said to Fu Tianhe, "Try to pee as fast as you can."
"Okay." Fu Tianhe listened to the opinions of his predecessors and went to solve the problem.
In addition to water, there are other metabolites in urine. The freezing point is actually below zero. Even if the outside temperature is minus 34 degrees, it is impossible to freeze the urine at about 36 degrees above zero into ice in an instant. column.
Fu Tianhe observed quite curiously, seeing his urine falling on the ice surface like hot water, melting a big hole in a blink of an eye.
Good guy, it turns out that this method can be used to defrost!
He really didn't know before.
Fu Tianhe trembled, quickly pulled up his pants, and then put on his gloves.
His guy didn't feel too cold, but his fingers were stinging from the cold.
Fu Tianhe stood where he was, watching the mist steam up, and then be frozen into icy balls in mid-air, rustling down.
After a series of reactions had almost disappeared, he turned around and went back, ready to share this newly acquired knowledge with everyone.
After hearing Fu Tianhe's words, even Shaffley was a little ready to move.
He had never been to such a cold place before. Although he had been in the game, the avatar didn't need to pee.
"I'll try it too." Shafelai walked towards the place where Chen Nian and Fu Tianhe had solved the problem.
3 minutes later, he came back.
It's just that his complexion is not particularly good-looking.
"what happened?"
Seeing that all three of them had gone, Chen Ci seemed a little out of place if he didn't go, so he also stood up.
"Remember to be a little careful." Shaffley reminded with a dark face, "Don't pee on your hands, it will freeze."
The three gathered together and were taken aback.
Statement: …………………
Chen Nian: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Even Fu Tianhe couldn't help it, he hastened to forcefully suppress the corners of his lips that were raised indiscriminately, after all, he and Shaffley had only known each other for two days, so they still need to be more polite when getting along.
The statement goes to the designated place.
It was found that three pits were lined up on the ground. The depth and size of the three pits were different, but it was obvious from them that the men had a ridiculous desire to win.
Statement: …………………
When he came back to his senses, Chen Ci found himself wondering why he didn't drink more water on the aircraft.
Two minutes later, a fourth pit appeared side by side on the snow.
