Survivor's Guide to Survival

A small black dot moved upward in the boundless snow-capped mountains.

Yang Tao tightened the strap of his backpack, stopping from time to time to look down at the map photos taken on his mobile phone.

——It has been nearly an hour since Huo Yizhou "jumped off the cliff". He followed Huo Yizhou's words and walked towards the place where the little girl was drawn with stick figures. He met nothing along the way.

Yesterday's spectacular animal migration scene was gone, but the melodious melody was always lingering in his ears.Yang Tao didn't dare to relax, he was afraid that once he relaxed his vigilance, the sound would penetrate into his brain through the eardrum, let him fall into strange hallucinations, and finally ruin his life on the snow mountain.So he can only keep walking forward, like a tireless ant.

The map can only point out the approximate direction, but cannot tell the boy how far he has to go to reach his destination.Yang Tao felt that he had been walking for a long time, but when he looked down at his phone, he realized that only an hour and a half had passed.

It's too far... Yang Tao sighed.He reached out and wiped his forehead. After walking to the leeward area, the tight windproof mountaineering suit not only prevented the wind but also prevented the heat from escaping. He felt as if his whole body was in a huge steamer. He took off all his clothes and went to the scene happily.

Yang Tao took a few more steps forward, and finally came to the corner of Panshan Road. He turned around this corner, and looked up to find a duck squatting waddlingly on a big rock, looking at him with its head tilted.The duck seemed to recognize Yang Tao, and did not hide when he came, and even stood up excitedly from the rock, flapping its wings as if to greet him.

Yang Tao didn't want to pay attention to the duck, but the duck seemed to recognize Yang Tao, opened its mouth and bit his trouser leg, and pulled him forward with all its strength.

"Hey, hey... what are you doing?" Yang Tao hurriedly rescued his trouser legs back, and looked at the duck speechlessly, "I said, big brother, don't play with me, I still have business to do."

Naturally, the duck can't speak, and won't listen to Yang Tao's words. Even if it is thrown off by Yang Tao, it flaps its wings and bites Yang Tao's trouser leg for the second time, determined to lead him in its own direction.

Yang Tao wanted to struggle again, but from the corner of his eye, he saw a circle of red and white thread wrapped around the neck of the duck, which made him alert—the thread used to tie the duck yesterday was provided by Yugina Yes, this kind of red and white intertwined thread is not common, and it can even be said to be unique to Yugina.

So could this duck be the one that disappeared with Yujina and Ning Xiao?

Yang Tao squatted down, hugged the duck into his arms, lowered his head and carefully rummaged through its feathers, trying to get some answers from it.And the second after Yang Tao picked up the duck, the music that had lingered for a long time stopped abruptly.

"Quack." The duck looked at Yang Tao with small eyes and let out a rough cry.

Listen to your inner voice...is it just following the ducks?Yang Tao hugged the duck, a little hesitant.

But there wasn't much time for him to waste, so he could only pick up the duck and continue walking up in the direction given by the phone map.

After not walking far, Yang Tao clearly felt the difference between walking with a duck and walking without a duck—he felt that the road in front of him gradually became flatter, and there were occasional cliffs that required climbing tools before, but now almost all It became an unbelievably flat and gentle slope, which saved him a lot of energy.He continued to walk on this road for half an hour, and when he passed a bend, his eyes suddenly opened up.

Yang Tao saw a vortex that seemed to be hanging in the air, and at the other end of the vortex, countless animals rushed into it one after another and disappeared inside.

It turned out that the animals that couldn't see their heads turned out to be here!The shock distracted most of Yang Tao's attention, so that the duck in his arms struggled and jumped down without noticing it, and wobbled towards the whirlpool.

"Congratulations, you have found the source of life." Just as Yang Tao was about to chase the duck, he heard Yugina's voice behind him.

Yang Tao turned his head, and saw that the girl had put on the costumes of the local ethnic minorities in Alsa at some point, and her waist-length hair was combed into a complicated hairstyle. She looked like a herdsman girl in Alsa, except for her snow-white skin and It all seemed out of place.

"What is this vortex?" Yang Tao asked.

Yugina shrugged: "You can be regarded as the origin of life." She stood behind Yang Tao with her hands behind her back, and when she saw the boy turned his head, she raised the corners of her lips to him: "Next, please complete your task."

Task?what task?Yang Tao looked at the girl in bewilderment, he would find that this place is purely a blind cat and a dead mouse, who knows what is not working.

Seeing that Yang Tao didn't move, Yugina smiled, took a few steps towards him, stretched out her hand from behind, and put it in front of his eyes: "Kill me."

Kill...kill Yugina?Yang Tao was startled, and staggered back: "For no reason, why should I kill you?"

The girl was holding a dice in her hand, the white of the dice looked a bit cold under the sunlight.She passed the dice in front of Yang Tao: "Because only by killing me can you save your companion."

Yang Tao fixedly looked at the girl, trying to see something from her eyes.However, the girl just smiled and spread her hands, her expression calm and gentle.

"Who the hell are you?" After a period of confusion, Yang Tao had calmed down. He took a few steps back and looked at Yugina with a defensive attitude.

Yugina lowered her eyes, then raised her head again: "I am Baremana Snow Mountain."

After entering the end of the world, Yang Tao felt that his ability to accept strange things had reached a new level.But at this moment, just before this strange vortex, he felt that he had once again opened a door to a new world.

A young girl, a pretty girl, beautiful as a flower but also strong in physical skills, she stood in front of her, and she kept saying that she was a mountain, and she wanted him to kill her with dice.

"Well, you are this mountain." Yang Tao took a deep breath and forced himself to keep up with the rhythm of the setting, "Then why did you send me and my companions away, and specifically asked me to kill you?" And you?"

Seeing Yang Tao's expression of unwillingness to give in immediately, the girl tilted her head and thought for a few seconds before saying, "I can tell you the answer, but you must promise me that after you listen, you will kill me."

"It depends." Yang Tao's hand touched the corner of the pocket, and he suddenly had an idea, and dealt with the girl vaguely.

The girl nodded and sat down cross-legged on the ground. By the way, she patted the seat beside her, signaling Yang Tao to sit down.

The girl woke up five years ago. She woke up in a huge cave, and there was only a naturally formed stone table with golden dice in front of her.

She could feel the breathing of the trees on her body and the coldness of the snow falling on her skin. She couldn't leave the cave, but she didn't need to lower her head to know that there were many humans walking on her body.From the moment she woke up, she knew that she was this mountain, but she didn't know why she suddenly became conscious and had an entity.

At first she found it strange, the blue sky, white snow and black stone... everything is beautiful and attractive.But after watching the scenery in the cave for a month, she was still tired of such a life.She wants to go outside and have a look.

With such a thought, Xue Shan saw that the golden dice on the stone table suddenly shone with dazzling light. In this brilliance, the girl saw a figure gradually appearing from it.

It was a girl exactly like her.

The girl opened her eyes, smiled and walked to her side to touch her forehead.From that moment on, Xueshan gained a pair of eyes to observe the world.

Xueshan named her Yujina, which means dream in Arsa language, and Gina means snow in Alsa language.The snow created in the dream, this is the girl's name.

"Wait," upon hearing this, Yang Tao couldn't help interrupting Xue Shan's narration, his brows were deeply frowned, "—you mean, you made Yugina?"

Xue Shan nodded with a calm expression: "Yes. She came out of the light."

Regarding this answer, Yang Tao didn't really believe it. According to Mrs. Hassan, Yugina had already gone to Alsa to settle down seven or eight years ago. Could it be that Shan remembered it wrong?But he still hid the question in his heart and didn't bring it up again.

Xueshan learned a lot of news about the outside world from the girl, and she felt very satisfied and happy.

One day, Xue Shan woke up from a deep sleep, and suddenly found that the dice glowed golden again.In addition, she also found several human corpses in the cave.

Those human clothes were neatly folded aside, naked and close to each other, with weird smiles with the same curvature on their faces.

Xue Shan was at a loss—from the beginning of her consciousness, she carefully protected the humans on her body, hoping that they would suffer as little harm as possible.At this moment, Yujina came to the entrance of the cave, and Xueshan asked her in a hurry: "What's going on?"

"It's too cold to hallucinate." Yugina said.

But then as she woke up repeatedly from deep sleep, Xueshan found that after the dice glowed, more and more human corpses appeared in the cave.She realized that all this seemed not as simple as what Yujina said.

At first, she thought that all this was caused by her own coldness, so she hid the coldest place in an attempt to prevent the death of human beings in this way.Until one day, she saw a young senior colonel open a video in a certain camp.

In the video, he made a strange sound. Lured by the strange sound, the human beings who came to the scientific research became very strange. They staggered and walked up to the cave automatically, took off their clothes and put them in the cave. On the side, people sat next to each other, turning into several corpses in the cold environment.

The time shown in the video was exactly when he was asleep, and he became a murderous executioner in his sleep.

"So," the girl slowly picked up the dice and handed it to Yang Tao, "I am a murderer, you can kill me."

"I am conscious because of the dice, so only the dice can kill me."

And it will only end if it kills me and makes me unconscious again.
