Embers Ad Infinitum

Jiang Baimian's heart twitched, he raised his head and looked at other parts of the island.

Different from before, there are more figures one after another on the jagged rocks.

Some of them were hung on protruding stone pillars, and their tongues were strangled and spit out. Some of them were shot several times and their flesh and blood were blurred. Some of them seemed to have their heads hit hard by a hard object, and they were actually dented and bleeding red. Blood, white brains, and so on, but the faces all belong to Jiang Baimian.

"My fear of death?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself silently.

Frankly speaking, she is used to seeing death. No matter the tragic situation after the bandits in Black Rat Town or the corpses scattered all over the place during the riots in Weed Grass City, they are not much better than the current scene, but looking at the people with their faces on their faces , she was still quite frightened by the tragic deaths of people with the same figure and appearance.

Normal people would have such a reaction, except for those who are different like Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baimian took a deep breath subconsciously, feeling that his mouth and nose were filled with the strong smell of blood.

She endured the discomfort, stopped quietly, and made no unnecessary attempts. She just walked slowly around the island, trying not to miss any corner.

During this process, she sometimes saw her head being hit by a bullet and exploding like a watermelon that fell to the ground. Sometimes she found her body was broken and thrown into the grass. It was obvious that she had suffered horrific torture during her lifetime.

These scenes were so real that Jiang Baimian suspected that he would have nightmares for many days after exiting the "Sea of ​​Origins".

Finally, she couldn't help but muttered:

"Just die, do you want to be so curious..."

At the same time, she began to think of ways to escape this terrifying island.

Obviously, it is impossible to simply adapt to such a scene. Otherwise, with Jiang Baimian's psychological quality, he would go shopping for a while every day, and after a week or two, he would be able to talk and laugh in front of each of his dead "selves". While admiring the bloody scenes, I fantasized about ordering snacks to eat.

"The key to overcoming this fearful island lies in reality? But who would put themselves to death and survive? In that case, 90% of people would really die... Besides, many people have experienced a life-and-death crisis. After the crisis, they will be scared out of their wits and leave a more serious psychological shadow..." Jiang Baimian saw that his energy was almost exhausted, so he left the "Sea of ​​Origins" and opened his eyes in the jeep.

She sat up gently and cast her eyes to the back row, intending to ask Shang Jianyao about the result of breaking into the shadow of the cruise ship in room "522" tonight.

Through the moonlight shining through the car window, a picture appeared in Jiang Baimian's eyes:

Shang Jianyao woke up at some point and was pressing his face against the car window on the right, as if he had turned into a statue.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked with a slight frown.

Shang Jianyao turned his head and made a "shh" gesture to signal her not to speak.

Then, he turned his head again and continued to press his face against the glass surface, looking out the window.

Jiang Baimian climbed to the driver's seat area suspiciously, followed Shang Jianyao's line of sight, and looked at the situation outside.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen each held weapons and were patrolling around the campfire and the jeep. Gnawa sat cross-legged between the fire and the vehicle, seemingly entering sleep mode.

"What's this?" Jiang Baimian muttered.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looking at each other respectively. After a brief eye contact, they slowly looked away with either a full or a shallow smile.

An aunt-like smile appeared on Jiang Baimian's face unconsciously.

She turned her head sideways and said to Shang Jianyao in a lowered voice:

"So you're eating dog food."

Old world entertainment materials are harmful.

Shang Jianyao pulled his face away from the car window, looked back at Jiang Baimian, and opened his mouth:

"Woof woof woof."

"..." Jiang Baimian really couldn't lower his figure, or in other words, he lowered his figure as low as Shang Jianyao.

This is equivalent to lying on the ground!

"Ahem." Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said, "Has the shadow of the cruise ship in room '522' broken through? What's the gain?"

"I made it through." Shang Jianyao quickly became serious, "I gained another mass of chaotic aura, and it should be able to be integrated into your 'right hand of chaos' to increase the number of times it can be used."

"You can actually get the breath of chaos..." Jiang Baimian frowned, "Although I also know that everyone's spiritual world and psychological shadows are independent of each other, the exploration of the same scene in the '912' room will not affect The situation in room '522', but the aura that involves the 'new world' and can be transformed into the soul is not the only one..."

"This is called a bowl of water being balanced." Seeing that Yaohun didn't care, Shang stretched out his left palm, "Give me your 'right hand of chaos'."

The chill quickly spread between the two of them. Shang Jianyao trembled and said, "This is simply a magical tool for summer" while transferring the newly acquired chaotic breath into the glove, and the two merged perfectly. The source is obviously one.

"That's right, you've made it, just like many summers." Jiang Baimian quickly stuffed the "Right of Chaos" back into his tactical backpack.

"Pangaea" is located underground. The difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter is whether it is cool at night, cold, or even colder.

Before Shang Jianyao could respond, Jiang Baimian mentioned his third island of fear.

Shang Jianyao's eyes gradually lit up:

"Sounds interesting."

Seeking novelty and novelty, he eagerly tried to get other Shang Jian Yao to pose in different death poses.

"So you don't have a similar island of fear." Jiang Baimian sighed helplessly.

Shang Jianyao looked regretful:

"There are also people among us who are afraid of death."

This refers to the cowardly one.

"What are your thoughts on overcoming this fear?" Jiang Baimian skillfully brought the topic back on track.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"Everyone has the fear of death. Except for a few people who are overwhelmed by the pain of life or have mental illness, we are all afraid of death, and we all want to borrow another five hundred years from heaven..."

When Shang Jianyao's voice gradually became louder, Jiang Baimian calmly stopped him:

"Don't sing!"

It took Shang Jianyao more than ten seconds to find his original thoughts:

"Finding the value of life and understanding the meaning of death will allow us to face it more calmly."

"For example, Mr. Zhang and Commissioner Huang are like that?" Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully.

Shang Jianyao nodded heavily.

…………

Thanks to the roads repaired by the "Salvation Army" and the settlements and rest stops along the way, the "Old Adjustment Team" arrived at the ice sheet in less than three days.

It was midsummer, and this place was relatively south. Jiang Baimian and others did not see frozen soil. What they saw were long or short weeds and patches of black and green forests.

After replenishing supplies, they entered the ice field. The roads gradually became dilapidated, and the distance between encountering settlements became longer and longer.

After waiting for two or three days, even the ruin hunters encountered them less often. The land was vast and there were more animals.

In this way, the "old tune team" followed the map that was not very accurate or it was difficult to find reference objects, and headed all the way to Taicheng.

Several days passed, and a large lake appeared in front of them.

This was no smaller than Nu Lake near Hongshiji. Long Yuehong could not see the end of the water at a glance.

The water of this large lake is clear and reflects the blue sky without any impurities. It is as beautiful as a fairyland.

"It's so beautiful." Long Yuehong held it back for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable verse.

Bai Chen echoed:

"The weather is also very nice."

"Take an early rest today and set up camp by the lake." Jiang Baimian knew that during the long journey, the team members had to relax properly and not keep tightening the strings.

As the jeep stopped, Shang Jianyao pushed the door open and headed straight to the lake.

What he was interested in was an old-world swing chair standing there, and he couldn't wait to sit on it.

Now he is the one who values ​​feelings but has a very young mental age.

boom!

The swing chair collapsed, and Shang Jianyao fell into disgrace.

Long Yuehong held back her laughter, lest Xiaobai think she had a dark mind.

Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian both smiled, but they didn't take too much pleasure in others' misfortune.

"Why don't you check it first?" Honest Gnawa asked with concern.

Shang Jianyao showed no shame:

"We can't let Xiaohong get the first step!"

I'm not a child! Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"He will definitely show courtesy to Xiaobai and invite her to sit with him."

Uh... Long Yuehong suddenly felt that she had really missed something.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, he walked to the lake, looked at the clear blue water, and said to himself:

"I don't know what the quality of the fish here is..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several fish under the water opened their mouths at him, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Snap, several black tentacles jumped out from another larger fish and slapped towards the water surface, seeming to want to drag Long Yuehong down.

Long Yuehong hurriedly took a few steps back:

"this?"

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

“This is not yet an ice sheet of the Old World in the true sense, but is the product of the ice sheet’s expansion due to climate change after the destruction of the Old World.

"I think why the climate in this area is changing drastically has to do with the bombardment of various high-energy weapons. The pollution left behind must be very serious."

She was explaining why deformed fish appeared in the fairyland-like lake.

"No wonder there are no settlements in such a large lake." Bai Chen nodded.

According to her knowledge, there is such a lake with good water quality and a lot of fish, which will definitely attract some wilderness wanderers to migrate here in spring and head south when autumn comes.

Live in pursuit of water and prey.

While talking, Bai Chen looked around.

Suddenly, she found several black spots at the junction of water and sky, which seemed to be ships.
