If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Chapter 900 Eve (510)

When the female hunter came back with old Arrian, it was already dark.

The lieutenant colonel picked up the old man with a frozen face at the door and took him into the house to warm up on the heated kang.

Vika, who was supposed to be the first to rush out of the cabin to look for traces of the little girl, became uncharacteristically quiet, because he had more important things to do before hunting.

Like digging a grave for his sister.

Dusha did not survive the second night. This was not a particularly unexpected thing. The severe snake venom, the infection of the penetrating wound on her hand, the hungry and cold situation, plus the female body that was not very healthy, all... The combination of factors caused her breath to stop before the first ray of dawn shone through the large hole in the wooden window.

Vika cried heartbreakingly for a few minutes, and then he became quiet as if dead. He carried his sister's body and walked to the snowfield outside the cabin. He found a shovel from somewhere and dug up the snow. .

Digging a grave is a very physically demanding task. Tired and hungry, Vika did not ask anyone to help. She just dug a hole without saying a word and buried her sister in it.

There was no tombstone, no flowers, and no priest or eulogy. After everything was done, he left the cabin alone and went deep into the coniferous forest.

On the fire bed in the wooden house, old Arian and weak Adam were lying together. They were both patients who had lost the ability to move. The only thing they could do was lie in bed and wait for someone to take care of them.

"You should have stopped him." The huntress said through the large hole in the wooden window as she looked into the depths of the taiga where Vika disappeared.

"He can't catch those siblings." The lieutenant colonel poured hot water into the enamel cup beside the kang, "Only I can catch them."

"What happens after you catch them? You won't be able to escape from this forest either."

"Even if we destroy them, we cannot let the hope of the motherland's rejuvenation fall into the hands of foreign forces."

"Are you really going to do something? To those siblings? They are just children."

"I will not be willing to destroy the hope of my motherland with my own hands unless I have to."

"Black Swan Port, what does that port do? Is it really human experimentation as I believe? Can you reveal a little more now? Maybe the siblings have escaped, and you can't hide these secrets anymore. useless."

"I don't know." The lieutenant colonel said, "I only know that my mission is to take them back. They are the property of the motherland. Those devils, the monsters we call deadpools, are the power of foreign forces."

"Are you willing to tell me so much in the hope that I can help you?" The huntress reached out and touched the string of the wooden bow in front of her.

"You are a hunter." The lieutenant colonel looked at the female hunter. "Finding prey in the snow is your strength. You are qualified to be my assistant. I can promise you the power and wealth you can get after returning to Moscow."

"No, besides that, I have a question. If you really brought those siblings back to Moscow, what would you do with them?" The huntress looked directly into the Lieutenant Colonel's eyes, "Don't lie, they are not here now here."

The lieutenant colonel stared at the huntress for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze and said, "Leave it to the superiors."

"Those powerful people? What do you think they will do?"

The lieutenant colonel didn't answer, maybe because he didn't know, or maybe he didn't want to answer.

Where will the final destination of an experimental subject recaptured from a remote port suspected of human experimentation be? This question yields no other results other than cutting deeper and deeper into the darkness.

"Then Lieutenant Colonel, if you want to find them, you have to hurry up." The huntress walked towards the wooden door, the arrows in the arrow basket on her back were neatly packed.

"What are you going to do?" The lieutenant colonel looked at the huntress.

"Although everyone is now in desperate situation, we can't really let a madman wander around in the forest with a knife. How dangerous would it be if he really found the siblings? We have to do it. Do something to make yourself feel at ease.”

After saying that, the huntress left the cabin.

The lieutenant colonel took a deep look at the back of the female hunter, and kept his right hand on the handle of the Makarov pistol. He did not actually pull out the gun until the other party left.

The lieutenant colonel was the only one left in the cabin. He looked back at the old hunter and Adam on the bed and said, "Don't go anywhere right here."

After saying that, he stood up and left, and the cabin fell into silence again.

The old hunter on the fire bed turned his head slightly, looked at the wooden toys piled in the corner, and sighed heavily that no one could understand.

How far can a 10-year-old girl carrying a burden trek through the extremely low-temperature snow in the Siberian taiga?

The answer to this question depends on how much strength the little girl has left.

It was 11:30 a.m. on the third day. In a secluded corner deep in the coniferous forest, the little girl was digging in the snow alone.

The bushes covered by the snowstorm were dug out, and the purple blueberries buried in the snow were carefully picked out by the little girl. Even though she was extremely hungry, she did not stuff these wild fruits into her mouth to replenish her physical strength.

If you want to survive in Siberia, warmth, food, and drinking water are indispensable. The first and third conditions are not a problem for the little girl.

Before she came to the cabin, she could hike naked in the strong wind on the eve of a snowstorm. Now that she was tightly wrapped in a fur coat, even sleeping in the snow in winter would not be a problem.

As for drinking water, it is freezing cold in Siberia and there is snow everywhere. There was a snowstorm the night before, so you won’t worry about running out of water. However, before eating snow, you need to avoid the possibility of oral frostbite causing inflammation. But this is not a problem. If you find a container and use your body temperature to melt the snow, you can ensure a continuous flow of drinking water.

So in the end, the little girl had to face only one survival problem, and that was food.

There are no animals for hunting in this coniferous forest. This is the conclusion that the female hunter has already reached. After the snowstorm, the entire forest has become a barren and dead place. Even the birds no longer fly over from the sky. No matter how experienced they are, Hunters will also starve to death in this snow.

So she could only learn what the huntress did before, walking in the snow, not letting go of any exposed bush, collecting all the berries she picked up in the pocket of her fur coat, and accidentally saw a man named Ci Wu. The added wild vegetables are also thrown up by the roots.

Although these harvests were very few, she still diligently collected all the food she could find.

With these gains of the morning, the little girl returned to the back slope of a towering snow hill according to her memory. There was a natural tree hole under the back slope. She moved the branches covered with snow in front of the tree hole. The whole person got in like a mouse.

From the light coming in from outside, you can see that the space in the tree hole is not big, but it can accommodate two children. When the little girl is alone, what is hidden inside is the brother she has been carrying on her back.

The little girl did not have a way to escape from the forest as everyone in the cabin had guessed. On the contrary, she quickly found a new shelter to hide in after leaving the cabin, and she seemed to be planning to stay there for a while. What time looks like.

Could this be her way of escaping? Let everyone think she had escaped. She would be able to escape naturally when everyone left here.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Putting the berries and wild vegetables on the blanket made of fur coat, the little girl picked out the whole and plump berries, and stuffed the rest of the wilted ones into her mouth and ate them wholeheartedly. The good berries and wild vegetables were slowly eaten together. Feed it to the boy who has been resting with his eyes closed.

When it was his turn to give him water, he stuffed a whole piece of snow into his mouth, bulging his pink cheeks until warm water melted into his palms and gave it to the boy to drink little by little.

After all the wild vegetables and berries she had picked up were finished, the little girl reached out and touched her brother's forehead and abdomen. Only when she felt the still high temperature and his chest touching his back did she understand that these vegetarian foods were not enough for him to consume. , at least he must have the heat of the previously frozen fish to ensure that he can complete the transformation.

Collecting food is the top priority at the moment. As she said before, she still needs time, enough time.

"As expected, we still need meat." She murmured softly.

The little girl thought again and again and decided what to do.

So she stood up, let go of the boy in her arms, got out of the tree hole, covered herself up again, and headed deeper into the coniferous forest.
