352. Above the Wind

No plants can be seen in this area, and the sky is vast and pale.

A few people trudged one foot deep and one foot shallow, and boarded the sled when going downhill. The speed was quite acceptable.

No one spoke, and the sound of the wind around was like a ghost's cry, sharp and harsh, and you couldn't hear it unless you yelled loudly.

Everyone's waists are tied to each other with ropes, and the ends of the ropes are tied to the sled to prevent them from being blown away by the wind accidentally.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked towards the end of the horizon. He just guessed that it was the height of the horizon, because it was all white up, down, left, right and in all directions. After walking for a long time, he would not even be able to distinguish between the sky and the ground.

Without the compass and the ice chasm not far away, they might really lose their way and turn into ice withers.

This kind of place deserves to be called the end, right? It's like the end of the world somewhere.

"The polar night will fall again in half an hour. We must find a place to camp after dark!" Bunin came over and shouted.

The sky has become quite dark. When it gets light, it becomes terrifyingly hazy. After dark, the road becomes even more difficult to walk.

"Didn't we bring lighting equipment?" Lu Mingfei yelled in response.

Bunin: "There's a problem with the battery! Although it's a low-temperature-resistant battery, it won't last long at this temperature!"

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and patted him on the shoulder to express his agreement. Ling, who was following them, had a hard time walking. Although she was strong enough, she was too petite. She got stuck in snow pits several times because of Gu Chun's mistakes.

Pulled her out.

They were ready to spend the night. The sleds had camping equipment and oil stoves, which were enough for them to spend a warm night.

It's colder here than the Arctic. Even if there are any dangerous predators, they should all find a place to hibernate.

Chu Zihang and Su Enxi could hold on for several days without any problem. Even if the fuel tank ran out of fuel, they could still stay warm by drinking vodka while wrapped in their military coats.

They quickened their pace in order to travel a little further before dark. They didn't go far when Lu Mingfei at the front suddenly stopped. He looked at his feet and shuddered violently.

There were sleigh marks on the snow, imitating the lake. Such a violent wind and snow meant that the sleigh had just passed by recently.

Bunin was also taken aback. Zero realized something was wrong in front of him and hurriedly followed him. The four of them looked at each other through the goggles.

"Are we going in circles?" Zero asked.

"Impossible, we have been walking along the ice crack valley." Bunning paused, "And this sled is wider than ours."

The crisis suddenly came. Someone arrived in this no-man's land before them. It was not enough for them to blow up the gas station, they should also destroy the bunkers.

What is still unclear is who is trekking with them in the wind and snow, the pursuers of Kassel College? A team sent by a certain boss to monitor their team? There is also the possibility that they are competitors, someone who wants to get ahead of them

They arrived at that coordinate.

"None of us know who that person is, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Ling, then at Buning, and finally couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.

The first two people shook their heads in denial, Gu Chen looked back at him, and Lu Mingfei looked away awkwardly.

"Keep on going, they will set up camp when it gets dark, and we should see the light of the camp fire." Lu Mingfei said quickly: "I originally thought it was a place similar to a tomb, but there are actually people who are rushing to bury it before us.

"

He picked up Ling and put him on the sled. He looked at Bunin and the two pulled the sled forward.

Although this will consume his and Bunin's physical strength faster, it can avoid being weighed down by Zero's short legs. Although they are already perfect long legs for her height, the snow trek only depends on the absolute length.

.

Gu Chen looked around and remained silent. He didn't feel tired, and even a fire burned in his heart, a flame called 'expectation'.

The further we walked, the clearer the sled marks became. This seemed to be a good sign, indicating that the group of people was pulling the sled forward manually and was not moving very fast.

Bunin continued to drag the sled forward, while Lu Mingfei took off the Bobosha submachine gun from his shoulder and explored the road more than ten meters ahead. This old thing from World War II is extremely stable in extremely cold weather and is a weapon on the hovercraft.

Found it in the cabinet.

We are going to encounter the enemy at any time now. With such a dense wind and snow, it is very likely that we will not notice each other until we bump into each other head-on. No matter what, Lu Mingfei is ready to throw a bunch of bullets at him first.

But the expected enemy never appeared. The sled marks became clearer and clearer, but there was no shadow of the sled at all. It was as if the sled in front of them knew their speed very well. If they were faster, the sled would be faster, and if they were slower, the sled would be slower.

Steadyly several hundred meters ahead of them.

It was finally dark, and it was obvious that he would not be able to catch up if he continued chasing like this. Lu Mingfei had to turn around and return to his sled, but as he walked, he stopped...

There was no sled behind him, and there were no Gu or three people behind him. He didn't know when the rope around his waist broke. He dragged a broken rope and ran an unknown distance on the snowy field!

For a moment, fear surged into his heart, and he felt that his blood was freezing.

"Hi, hi!" he roared loudly, but the sound was swallowed up by the wind before it could travel far.

He was lost in this no-man's land. It seemed that Gu Zhen and the others had given up on him. It was a road of no return that only belonged to him. In the end, he had to walk alone.

He couldn't believe it. He believed in Bunin and even more in Gu Chen and Ling. Even if they were hiding something from him, they should never be the same. But the reality seemed cruel. They cut the rope and left, leaving him alone.

Waiting to die in the wind and snow.

He had no provisions, no tent, and no heating equipment. Even with his hybrid body, he could not survive a night in the snowstorm of the polar night. Unless he summoned the little devil, his last wish in life was to give me a heater.

Lu Mingfei suddenly panicked. The calmness along the way was broken. He ran wildly in the snow, shouting as he ran. He thought that someone must have attacked Ling and Bunin from behind, and those people took them away quietly.

He killed his partner and cut the rope.

But what about Gu Chen? In this world, who else can or dares to attack him and prevent him from sending a reminder? Unless... Gu Chen did it on purpose.

Soon Lu Mingfei's remaining physical energy was exhausted, and he was shocked at how stupid this behavior was. He ran so far in the snow without knowing the direction that he couldn't even see the ice chasm.

He carried neither a compass nor a Fingall, because Fingall's batteries were not suitable for working in such cold weather.

The only trace left was the trace of the mysterious sled. It was not lost, it was just under his feet, so clear.

The polar night fell, and the darkness was overwhelming. He trudged in the snow holding a Bobosha submachine gun. He was getting colder and more tired. Because his body temperature dropped, his vision began to blur, and his brain seemed to be frozen and unable to think.

The traces of the sled disappeared, and he stood still, smiling sadly, and knelt down knee-deep in the snow.

This life is so fucking funny, shouldn’t it have a spectacular ending? The sad and high-pitched kind, the heroic kind, the kind where a girl cries for you, but ends up freezing in the snow.

dead.

Lu Mingfei couldn't even feel the cold anymore, and his consciousness gradually dissipated, as if the last candle deep in his brain was about to be extinguished. At this moment, he heard the ringing of bells in the wind and snow.

The light at the end of the world was like someone lighting a match. Running in the light was a sleigh pulled by four two-meter-tall reindeer. The reindeer were still covered with red ribbons, as if they were coming to carry him.
