Survivor's Guide to Survival

Returning to the spectacular scene of animal migration, it is still in a state of being unable to see the end.Huo Yizhou saw ferocious beasts behind the usually docile animals, but these ferocious beasts had no intention of eating the delicious food in front of them.

"Follow." Seeing Huo Yizhou standing there, Ning Xiao stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and led him a few steps forward.

Huo Yizhou came to his senses, embarrassed to hold everyone back, and said in a low voice: "I'll go by myself." Ning Xiao let go of his hand graciously, and the four of them continued to line up and follow the magnificent army of animals. climb.

Compared with the tireless army of animals who obeyed the call of the mountain, Ning Xiao and others climbed up with their own physical strength.Climbing the mountain itself is a matter of physical exertion, coupled with the harsh climate and rugged terrain on the snow-capped mountain, the sheep that followed quickly ran far ahead of the four of them.

The snow on the mountain was covered layer by layer. Several people stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and their steps gradually became heavier. As far as they could see, there were still densely packed animals, which were frighteningly set off by the overwhelming white snow.

Yang Tao didn't dare to open his mouth, he was afraid that when he exhaled, his breath would condense into ice cubes around his mouth, and he didn't dare to speak, he felt that his throat was as cold as a big ball of ice was stuffed, and he was still a little dull painfully.

After walking like this for two hours, the queue of animals was still going upwards. Yang Tao bent down and put the ducks on the ground, wanting to take a rest. Followed up and went up.

The few remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all read a little speechless from each other's eyes.

"...I'd better catch it again." Yang Tao dragged his weary pace forward to catch up with the duck. After a while, he pulled the duck out of the team again.

The duck that was pulled out seemed extremely angry, flapping its wings and doing everything possible to turn its head to peck Yang Tao who was holding him, but because he was not used to the climate on the snow-capped mountains and Yang Tao was dressed thickly, he did not cause much damage. Tied to Yang Tao's hand, he could only circle around his footsteps.

It's not too early after all, and it will be six o'clock in a while. The four of them plan to find a flat place nearby and set up a tent for the night, and continue to follow the path of animals tomorrow morning.

"Hey—look! There seems to be a place to pitch a tent over there!" Among the four of them, except for Ning Xiao, Yang Tao's night vision ability is not bad. He quickly found a flat place not far away, and pointed Said happily there.

Ning Xiao naturally also found that place, but after seeing a few stakes nailed on the snow, his expression became a little more serious.It was different from when he set off. This time, Ning Xiao was at the leading position. He walked over quickly and knelt down to check the position of the stake.

Ning Xiao squatted down and picked up a bottle cap from a stake.He turned the bottle cap over and saw "YT" engraved with a knife on the back of the bottle cap -- that was Yang Tao's nonsense carving on the bottle cap with a knife after he was bored after eating.

The four of them had been walking for more than two hours from where they left in the afternoon. How could they encounter something that fell from the previous camp?

"Yugina," Ning Xiao stood up holding the bottle cap, and looked at Yugina, "As far as you know, how many flat places like this are there on Baremana Mountain that can be used for camping?"

Yugina also had a bad expression after seeing the bottle cap: "There are only three big places in total, one is at the bottom, but the third is not far from the top. We are still far away from the top. .”

Yujina has been operating on the mountain for the past five years, and she is familiar with the situation of the entire mountain. The other three people believe what she said.

He turned around and went back to the original camp.

Huo Yizhou felt that his heart was sinking continuously—even though he had prepared himself for various situations before going up the mountain, no matter how determined a person was, he would not be able to do so after learning that such a long time of hard work this afternoon would be of no avail. It is in vain, and it is inevitable that I will be a little discouraged.He looked at a few stakes stuck in the ground, lost in thought.When did the ghost hit the wall start?

If it was walking on warm flat ground, Huo Yizhou didn't think the situation would be so embarrassing.The physical exertion of walking in the mountains made him seldom pay attention to the surrounding situation while walking. In addition, Yang Tao was holding the limp-headed duck in his arms, which made the four of them more or less relaxed on this aspect. alert.

"It's okay." Finally, Ning Xiao stood up to comfort everyone, "Get up early tomorrow and try hanging up with a rope."

Returning to this camp, Yang Tao took out the small tent from his bag and tied it up expertly. Huo Yizhou had already found a leeward place and distributed the dry food to everyone.Several people hastily finished their dinner, quietly waiting for today's liquidation to come.

Two more cities were cleared today, one belonging to Hua Country and the other belonging to S Country.The city that disappeared in Huaguo was Yiyang. Ning Xiao stopped there briefly on his way to Nancheng, and rescued a girl who was besieged by street gangsters.As for whether the girl is still staying in Yiyang or has gone to other places at this moment, it is not known.

None of the four spoke while watching the purge video.The bright light of the flashlight shone on everyone's calves, and it became a little scary as the sky became more and more gloomy.

In another four days, the APP will undergo a new round of updates. Huo Yizhou only hopes that this trip to the snow mountain will end before the update, so he rushes back to the hostel to wait for the update results with Guo Lu and the three.

Although the whole game made the world unreasonable, what made Huo Yizhou feel very depressed was that the communication in this game was consistent with the original reality. He made a sad call, but the "not in the service area" always displayed on the team call interface made him give up helplessly.

After a day of chaotic journey, the four of them sat together and calmly reviewed the situation along the way: first, the mountain seems to have awakened self-awareness, and will summon humans and animals to die; second, the four of them were attacked by ghosts today The wall is contrary to the death penalty in the first point.

"That's right," Yang Tao used the memo on his mobile phone to record these contents, and found a problem while reading, "—Since the mountain wants us to die, why does it do everything possible to use ghosts to hit the wall to stop us from moving forward?"

Huo Yizhou thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is a key secret to Dashan's awakening of self-awareness on the right path?"

This explanation is very reasonable. Yang Tao licked his lips, and felt that his tongue was about to be frozen by the icy air: "There is one more question, what circumstances can trigger the sound Brother Xiao heard in the video?"

"The triggering conditions are still uncertain," Ning Xiao said, "Maybe it's the time, the number of people, or something else. In short, everyone should be careful here."

The duck squatted next to the tent and circled the wooden stake, looking stupid, not knowing what the world had become.

It was late at night while chatting, Yugina was not polite, said hello to the three boys and got into the tent.Yang Tao leaned against the tent, wrapped three layers inside and three layers outside, and made sure that it was tight enough to prevent the wind from entering, so he sat down and started to watch the night with his eyes wide open.

On the other side separated by the tent, Huo Yizhou and Ning Xiao were sitting next to the big rock. Both of them were still wearing the mountaineering clothes they had worn in the morning, but they were only covered by a blanket.

"Is it cold?" Ning Xiao moved the blanket towards Huo Yizhou, enclosing him in the blanket.

"It's not cold." Huo Yizhou shook his head—he was really not cold. This wave of physique enhancement in the last days has greatly strengthened his ability to resist cold. The clothes are more than enough to resist the cold night.

Ning Xiao frowned, but still stubbornly put the blanket on Huo Yizhou's body: "You're cold."

"I don't..." Huo Yizhou just wanted to refute, but after touching Ning Xiao's eyes, he immediately softened, "Okay, I'm cold."

There was a hint of satisfaction in Ning Xiao's eyes, and he couldn't say no more than to distribute more blankets to Huo Yizhou.

When the blanket was brought up, it was a single-person blanket, and it was so long in total. Huo Yizhou looked at the edge of the blanket growing out from his side, and knew that Ning Xiao must have quietly covered himself with the blanket again.Even though he knew that the end of the world would definitely strengthen Ning Xiao's physique even more, he was still worried that Ning Xiao would rather be cold than brave.

After thinking about it, he closed his eyes, got up from the ground with a ruthless heart, and looked down at Ning Xiao who was still sitting on the mountain: "You put the blanket on your body and open your hands."

Seeing that the child was sitting well, Ning Xiao suddenly stood up, and was also a little dazed.But according to what he said, he grabbed the two corners of the blanket and opened his hands.

Huo Yizhou quietly glanced at the other side of the tent, the tent just blocked the boy Yang Tao who was sitting cross-legged alone on the other side.His beating heart calmed down a bit, he blushed and pretended to turn around naturally and sat down in front of Ning Xiao, grabbed his two hands and put them on his chest, so he was wrapped in Ning Xiao's arms.

"Aren't they both cold?" Huo Yizhou understood that if it was daytime, the blush on his face would have nowhere to hide.

Huo Yizhou's actions made Ning Xiao stunned at first, and then, an unbelievable ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but tighten Huo Yizhou in his arms, repeatedly confirming that all this was true.

The boy's body has a clear lemon fragrance, which is different from any shower gel or perfume, as if he was born with it.Ning Xiao moved to his neck and took a deep breath, the smell of lemon immediately filled his nostrils.

Huo Yizhou could also feel the movement of Ning Xiao behind him, and he could even imagine the expression on Ning Xiao's face when he approached him.He hesitated and stretched out his hands to cover Ning Xiao's arms around him, and then squeezed them tightly.

"Child," Ning Xiao's voice behind him had become a little hoarse, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Huo Yizhou smiled, he nodded without hesitation, turned sideways and raised his head slightly to kiss the corner of Ning Xiao's mouth: "Of course I know."
