Double O swap life!

Chen Ci returned to the original place, Sha Fulai and Chen Nian had already entered the tent, and Fu Tianhe was waiting for him outside.

The two also got into the tent one after the other. Shaffley activated the energy furnace. Chen Nian took off his gloves and put his hands on the side of the furnace to keep warm.

Shafele took out a small jar from his bag and threw it to Chen Nian.

"What?" Chen Nian took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, his eyes immediately glowed.

"You even brought this with you!"

Shaffley: "Drink less and keep warm. Your body is not suitable for drinking too much."

Without further ado, Chen Nian unscrewed the cap of the small bottle, raised his head and took a sip. It was a high-strength liquor, strong enough.

Fu Tianhe took out the instant food and started cooking.

The situation in front of him awakened his muscle memory, and when he and September traveled together, he was also responsible for solving the problem of eating and drinking.

Chen Nian moved his body, sat next to Chen Ci, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you feel an unexplainable feeling in your heart?"

Chen Ci nodded.

This strange feeling came from the bottom of his heart quietly when he saw the moonlight with his own eyes.

It's hard to describe it in words. If I have to say it, it's the flames rising from the crackling firewood, licking the tender bottom of my heart, with the warmth of masochism in the burning pain.

Obviously the surroundings are so cold that people can be frozen into ice sculptures.

The statement originally thought it was the relief that the goal was finally achieved, but as time went by, he gradually realized that this was not the case.

If it was relief or joy, it should fade away soon, but that feeling still remained in his heart, and on the contrary, there was a tendency to intensify.

Statement: "Probably because this was our home."

Chen Nian sighed: "Since it's home, then open the door quickly. What's the point of shutting your own people out?"

On the other side, Shaffley was also talking with Fu Tianhe, mainly asking how Fu Tianhe's eyes felt. After all, the temperature here is too low, and there are no temperature receptors on the eyeballs, so they can't feel cold or hot, but the eye sockets are different.

"It's okay." Fu Tianhe raised his hand to touch it, and his fingertips touched the soft eye mask, which was specially thickened for him in Jiuyue. "It's a little cold, but it's not a problem."

Shafele felt relieved, and he also shared a bottle of wine with Fu Tianhe: "Drink something?"

"I don't drink well." Fu Tianhe smiled and took the bottle.

Shaffley: "It's okay, I can't drink too much, it's mainly to warm my body."

The four of them rested in the tent for three hours. They ate and drank enough, their bodies completely warmed up, and they even regained their physical strength.

This place is near the polar circle. Before it was dark, they decided to catch up with the road for a while.

After packing up their backpacks, the four of them continued to move forward in the original queue. Fu Tianhe, as the one behind him, only needed to follow his footsteps, so he didn't concentrate so much.

In front of him was the statement, and the young man's back fell into his eyes. Fu Tianhe couldn't help but pay attention to the details. A few strands of Jiuyue's hair were exposed from the hat, stained white by the snow.

The moment the sole of his foot stepped on the air, Fu Tianhe immediately reacted. He shifted the weight of his whole body to his upper body and threw himself forward. At the same time, the knee of the foot that stepped on the air bent——

Chen Ci realized the sudden change at the first moment, he turned around and grabbed Fu Tianhe's wrist, pulling Alpha to his side.

With the joint efforts of both parties, Fu Tianhe finally did not fall directly into the ice hole that suddenly appeared under his feet, but the toe of his shoe was slightly wet.

However, in the next second, a huge mouth emerged from the water and bit Fu Tianhe's foot directly!

"Be careful!" Chen Nian exclaimed in shock.

Fu Tianhe immediately rolled on the spot, although his posture was a bit embarrassed, he managed to save his own feet.

The upper body of that thing jumped out of the hole, its sharp teeth clenched and made a muffled click, and even the air was shaken. If it was a human limb, it would definitely break even the bones!

Naihe's food, which was clearly about to reach his mouth, brushed past his body, only allowing him to bite into a mouthful of cold air.

Chen Ci finally saw that it was a male sea lion. It had been dormant under the ice for a long time, and it might have followed them for a long time. Now it aimed at the last person in the team.

None of the three spiritual people paid extra attention to the soles of their feet.

Because in their cognition, there is a thick layer of ice and frozen soil, so there is no need to worry about danger. It is better to focus more energy on detecting the outer wall of the moonlight.

That's what led to this accident.

The seal's chest is clearly covered with metal, and these barbs are like bird claws, temporarily fixing its large and bulky body to the ice wall.

Chen Nian's expression turned serious. In his perception, only marine life can be mechanized, and isn't sea lion a mammal?

How could the original symptoms appear?

It was too late and then too soon, Shaffley's trekking stick swung over, and the sound of breaking through the air was sharp, like thin ice silk being torn apart, and the snowflakes were cut into two petals——

All of a sudden, it hit the sea lion's head hard, and it could only hear it screaming in pain.

Seemingly knowing that he was alone, it was difficult to be an opponent of four people. The grip on the sea lion's chest was released, and it quickly retracted into the ice cave, and sank to the surface of the water in a blink of an eye, leaving only a string of unwilling bubbles.

"How is it?" Shaffley asked.

"It's okay." Fu Tianhe got up from the ground. He almost fell into the ice hole just now with his right foot. The incident happened in the blind spot on his right side, so he couldn't see it clearly at the first time. "What kind of animal is that?" ?”

"The sea lions seem to be partially mechanized."

Chen Ci reached out to help Fu Tianhe pat the snow off his body: "If the knowledge I learned before is correct, mammals evolve relatively slowly because of their stable genes, and it is almost impossible for them to undergo primordialization."

"Sure enough, there is a problem that we don't know about." Shafele whispered, "Hurry up and leave this area. There may be a lake before this place, so it can dig through the ice."

The many dead fish seen earlier are most likely the work of seals.

Chen Nian lowered his head to check the photos he had taken. In desperation, he didn't bother to yell. He immediately raised the terminal and took a picture of the sea lion.

It's a pity that there is only one angle where he is, otherwise it can be used as a precious sample in the future.

Fu Tianhe wiped the edge of the ice cave vigorously with his trekking pole, and confirmed that what Shaffley said was right, this is a lake whose surface is frozen.

At the bottom of their feet, there must be countless other creatures living, perhaps peering just as greedily.

They hurriedly set off again and left as fast as they could.

The ground under the snow turned black again, and the team slowed down.

When the purple ghost appeared in Bai Ai, everyone stopped unconsciously.

Purple crystals grow out of the moonlight-collapsed outer wall, like minerals clinging to mysterious caves. They stretch out in clusters like thorns, showing vigorous vitality, and become a mysterious and beautiful unique scene in the frozen snowfield.

Yet everyone knows what it is.

A Thunderbird was standing on the crystal, lowering its head and constantly pecking at it. Purple crumbs fell down, and some of them were swallowed into its small stomach.

On days when food is hard to come by, it relies on it for sustenance.

These birds will send amethyst powder to other parts of the world during their migration, either by excreting it in feces, or perhaps falling somewhere with their eroded carcasses.

The recent small-scale epidemic in Sanshui may be caused by this.

As if sensing that someone was approaching, the thunderbird looked up vigilantly, then quickly flapped its wings and left.

Fu Tianhe's throat suddenly tightened uncontrollably.

He thought of the many corpses lying twisted and lying on the side of the road, covered in amethyst. Under the fragile skin was a large piece of dark red blood, which seemed to splash out at the slightest touch. Even maggots and mosquitoes were unwilling to approach. , only the terrified eyes and the pungent disinfectant water buried him.

That cruel existence also drilled out of his eye socket, stabbing one eyeball to pieces.

It was the first time Chen Nian met Ashes.

In fact, he only learned about the existence of Ashes in detail three weeks ago.

He observed cautiously for a moment, couldn't restrain the shock in his chest, and asked Shaffley in a low voice: "This is the thing, will it grow out of the infected person's body?"

Shaffley nodded.

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh, such a hard and sharp thing exists inside the body, and it will continue to grow, just thinking about it will cause phantom pain.

The sky was getting dark, and before it was completely dark, the four of them chose a good place that was sheltered from the wind and clean, and set up their tents again.

Chen Nian opened the map on the terminal, and the winding red line marked the distance traveled today. They walked 26 kilometers, which is already a lot.

Fu Tianhe pulled up the tent from the inside, and the strong fabric blocked the wind and snow outside, making this place a safe corner in the ice and snow plateau.

The stove was restarted, and they took off their thick coats one after another. The snow never stopped. Even if they tried their best to shake off the snow on the coats before entering the tent, some of them were brought into the tent and silently melted into water.

Chen Ci and Chen Nian roasted everyone's clothes, shoes and socks. Fu Tianhe started cooking and continued to perform his duties as the family cook. Shaffley leaned in the corner and recorded today's diary.

After walking hard for a long time in the blizzard, it is absolutely impossible not to be tired. Even Shaffley did not say much to recharge his energy. He led the way in front and consumed more energy.

Only Fu Tianhe was still full of energy and energy.

Chen Ci has long been used to it. He has personally experienced how terrifying Fu Tianhe's physical strength is. This is the existence of walking through the abandoned suburbs in just one day.

If Fu Tianhe walked alone, he would not have any problem walking forty or fifty kilometers a day against the wind and snow.

Then they had a whole night to rest, and of course they didn't intend to just make do with dinner. Fu Tianhe cooked the meat, and soon the smell filled the entire tent.

After cooking, everyone couldn't wait to start. There is nothing happier than sitting around in a warm tent in a snowstorm, holding their own bowls, drinking soup and eating meat.

The bitter cold wind whizzed, and the flying snow slapped the tent, making continuous crackling noises. The wind blew like weeping, sometimes high, sometimes holding its breath, like the last whimper of a dying giant beast.

Chen Nian has been using his mental power to explore the moonlight. After realizing that Shaffley and Chen Ci were focusing on finding the entrance, he focused more on the structure of the moonlight.

Anyway, his elder brother and Shaffley's mental strength is stronger than him, if there is any situation, they should be the first to discover it.

Then he might as well spare his energy and do something more useful.

Chen Nian turned on the virtual screen, took out the stylus from his backpack, recalled the situation detected by the mental power, and drew.

Their father, Chen Wei, had done similar work before. The original creatures were hidden in the sea, and few people were able to see the details with their own eyes.

Especially the ferocious Neptune, most people who encountered them were buried in the sea, let alone provide clues.

Many large primitive creatures can block the detection of radar and sonar, so the role of mental power is very important.

Chen Wei's spiritual power explored below the surface of the sea, and drew the outlines of many mysterious creatures on paper, which became precious materials for human beings.

Chen Nian was busy drawing, and Shaffley finished writing the diary, lifted Chen Nian's leg to his lap, and began to massage him.

Chen Nian has been bedridden to recuperate his injuries these days, and he hasn't done much exercise. Today, he suddenly put on such a high intensity. If he doesn't relax his muscles well, he may be too tired to lift his legs tomorrow.

Chen Nian concentrated on painting without raising his eyelids, enjoying Alpha's service with peace of mind, and gave instructions from time to time: "Go down a little bit, yes, it's here."

Seeing this, Fu Tianhe suddenly felt that he couldn't be compared to Sha Fulei. He leaned behind Chen Ci, stretched out his hand, and massaged Chen Ci's shoulder and neck.

Chen Ci glanced back at him, but did not comment on Alpha's inexplicable comparison.

The first day of exploration thus ended smoothly.

They walked a lot, and had a preliminary understanding of the area near the moonlight. Although they found nothing, none of them was discouraged.

At this speed, in another seven or eight days, they will be able to walk around the periphery once.

Chen Ci touched the blindfold on Fu Tianhe's right eye with his fingertips, and silently asked him how he was doing.

"It's okay." Fu Tianhe whispered, "I didn't feel anything all day today. I don't know if it's because of the low temperature, which can also have a restraining effect."

"That's good." Chen Ci felt relieved, he provided Fu Tianhe a lot last night, which made him feel a little too weak this morning, it seems that his hard work was not in vain.

The purple crystals attached to the outer wall of the moonlight always gave Chen Shi a sense of foreboding.

When his mind calms down, the image of Amethyst stabbing out of Fu Tianhe's eyes in the abandoned factory will appear in his mind.

And below the transparent pipe many years ago, countless people were struggling and howling, trying to break free from the deadly torrent.

That was the nightmare he could never get rid of, and it was also his obsession with this trip.

It took Chen Nian two hours to draw the sketch, and the energy furnace in the tent could not completely dispel the chill on the ice sheet, and painting is a delicate work that requires the sensitivity of fingers. He put down the stylus, his right hand was a little frozen, and he rubbed twist.

Seeing this, Shaffley held Chen Nian's hand in his own and warmed it with his body. Alpha's dry and generous palm quickly warmed Chen Nian's fingertips.

Such days are quite familiar to Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe.

During the several months of travel, they rested early after dark, waited until the next day was dim and bright, then seized the time and set off again.

Four people together are always much more lively than two people. They chat casually, mostly about trivial matters.

Except for Shaffley who is a few years older, everyone is about the same age in their 20s. Even if they lived in different environments and have different experiences since childhood, they still have many common topics.

At nine o'clock in the evening, they took out sleeping bags from their bags and laid them out, ready to rest.

This snowstorm seems to have no intention of stopping at all. I just hope that it will not become bigger and bigger in the next few days, or it will drag on for a longer time.

Without any discussion at all, the four of them had already reached a consensus on "how to sleep" very tacitly.

Chen Ci and Chen Nian brothers slept in the middle, Fu Tianhe and Shaffley lay beside their own Omega, from left to right, Fu Tianhe, Chen Ci, Chen Nian, and Shaffley.

Any arrangement other than that will only bring deep embarrassment.

After a simple wash, everyone lay down in their respective sleeping bags, and all the lights were turned off, leaving only a small light ball, which could emit light with a slight lift of the hand.

For the three people with spiritual power, they don't need lights at all. Even if it's pitch black, they can use their mental power to find out the surrounding situation. The light ball is specially prepared for Fu Tianhe.

It was the first time for Chen Nian to sleep with Chen Ci.

He was very excited. The tent was quite big, but four people slept, and the space was limited. He only needed to move his right hand slightly to the side, and he could touch Chen Ci's thigh.

Just when Chen Nian was trying to play tricks on his brother, he felt that Shafele turned sideways, facing him.

Alpha's hands rested on his waist, and then went up, all the way to the opening of the sleeping bag.

—Let me see your wounds.

Thoughts are transmitted through the spiritual power of contact.

Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, why didn't he mention it when the light was on just now, he had to be asleep now to say it secretly.

But he still tore open the collar of his clothes, and felt Shaffley's hand reaching in and gently touching the wound on his chest.

After confirming that everything on the surface of the wound was normal, Shafele was relieved. He was about to withdraw his hand, but Chen Nian held it down.

The sleeping bag restricted Chen Nian's performance, otherwise his legs would definitely be entangled with Shaffley now.

But even so, the meaning revealed in it still made Shaffley tense subconsciously.

On the other side of the tent, less than one meter away, were Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe.

Shafele clearly felt that Chen Nian's finger was lightly tapping on his forearm. The index finger and middle finger were like two legs of a villain, walking along the line of his arm. Provocative.

Chen Nian moved his body slightly, and Shaffley's palm rubbed against his skin. The warm and delicate touch was so alluring in this icy and snowy place.

Shaffley's breathing became short of breath.

Shaffley's mental power is strictly bounded by Chen Nian, and he doesn't want to have any behavior similar to spying on privacy. Although he doesn't say the statement, it will be very embarrassing if he finds out.

The statement should also have the same idea, their spiritual power has not collided.

As for Fu Tianhe, he couldn't see what was happening in the dark at all. As long as he didn't make too much noise, the wind and snow outside the tent would be the best cover.

Wait a moment!What is he thinking!

Shaffley hurriedly drove out the chaotic images in his mind.

He knew that Chen Nian was bold, but the boy was obviously not so bold, and he was just teasing him right now.

Shafele settled down, he pulled out his hand with a little force, deliberately pinched Chen Nian's face, and was immediately slapped on the arm by Omega not to be outdone.

He wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and fell silent.

Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe on the other side were actually not as honest as Shaffley imagined.

Providing "medicine" to Fu Tianhe every night has become a habit of making a statement.

It was a silent but lingering deep kiss.

The sweetness of amber wood and tuberose blends between the lips and teeth, but it is difficult to restrain it to prevent more extreme situations from happening.

The wind and snow are severe and cold, but they pour out the turbulent longing that is hidden incessantly.

It wasn't until he absorbed enough body fluid that Fu Tianhe reluctantly backed away. He gently licked the moisture from the corners of Chen Ci's lips with the tip of his tongue, and then rubbed the boy's cheek with the tip of his nose.

Chen Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if disturbed by the heat of Fu Tianhe's breath.

Normally, Chen Ci would never fall asleep with other people around him.

What's more, it was windy and snowy outside, and there were three other people lying in the tent besides him. Anyone who turned over would make a movement.

But I don't know when, he gradually got used to Fu Tianhe sleeping next to him, he was able to accept Alpha's steady and long breathing without wearing earplugs, and even now, he can ignore other regular sounds around him.

Just sleep peacefully like this.

I slept very soundly that night.

Chen Nian was really exhausted. He hadn't had such a high-intensity exercise for a long time, and he slept in the dark, not bothered by the cold surroundings and the hard ground.

The next day, as the dim light shone through the tent and sprinkled on the eyelids, Fu Tianhe was the first to wake up. He had been sleeping very little all along, and it was worryingly low some time ago.

This should be the change that Ashes brought to him, because since he got the "special drug" in September, the situation has eased a little, at least he can sleep more than five hours a day.

Fu Tianhe opened his eyes, but found that his arms were empty.

His Omega was not by his side, Fu Tianhe looked to the left, and found that Chen Ci was sleeping on the standard right side of the dividing line in the middle of the tent, and Chen Nian was leaning on Chen Ci's shoulder, his eyes closed like a snuggle, and he was falling asleep.

The boy who was only a few minutes older was lying flat on his back, his black hair gently swept over his ears, and the faint light of the sky fell on the bridge of his nose, as if he was afraid that he would be disturbed, so he became gentler by seven points, and finally coated his light-colored lips .

The boy with the exact same face leaned against his brother's neck, his curly and thick black eyelashes were drawn out like a paintbrush, and when he breathed, the faint white air gathered around his nose, condensed into tiny water droplets or frost mist, and fell on his face , and even the fine fluff on the cheeks can be seen.

This is a picture that is seductive enough, and even has a certain indescribable charm.

Fu Tianhe was a little dumbfounded. At this moment, he even felt that he was a little redundant.

After staring blankly for a few seconds, Fu Tianhe moved his gaze upwards and saw Shaffley who was also speechless and choked on the other side of the tent.

Fu Tianhe: ……………

Shaffley: ……………

The four eyes, oh no, the three eyes met each other, seeing the same sadness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

The two brothers were unaware of this, they hugged each other and slept soundly, leaving only the two Alphas looking at each other.
