Pollution throughout the territory

"Find a weapon! Quick!"

Xia Ren shouted loudly.

If those monsters come back, it will be over! They are all going to die!

In fact, before waiting for his order, a group of people had already prepared their weapons, but Xia Ren was too nervous and didn't notice it at the first time.

"Give."

Wen Yan handed over an iron drill, and Xia Ren weighed it in his hand. The weight was almost the same as his own physics holy sword.

The black shadow is getting closer and closer, and everyone is holding their weapons tightly and preparing for the attack.

They can't run away. In this world full of ice, even if they run away, they will be frozen to death in the cold wind tonight. If they risk their lives, there may be hope of survival.

Finally, the black shadow was only less than 150 meters away from them. Facing the wind, they could clearly see the outline of the black shadow. At the same time, several dogs barked in the air.

Dog barking?

"It's a sleigh! It's a sleigh!"

one of the team members shouted.

"Hey, we're here!"

It turned out that people from the base at the foot of the mountain came over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some people could not stand firmly and simply collapsed on the ground.

"I thought I was going to die..."

A team of only six people came to them on two sleds. Xia Ren opened his arms and hugged Ranaya tightly, but his expression was not good.

"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the base and wait for me?"

he asked with a frown.

Ranaya was startled by his expression and quickly explained: "Didn't the scientific research team send a message saying that they would temporarily abandon the base outside and ask everyone to move here?"

"When did we send a message?"

The rest of the rescue team looked at each other.

Xia Ren instantly thought of a possibility.

"Before Professor Ford tried to send that text message, someone had already contacted the base outside!"

You don’t need to think about the reason why they came here. Those crazy guys intend to die with everyone!

"What's wrong with you? Why are you all holding weapons? Are there any wild beasts in the mountains?"

said an assistant who had just arrived.

"The situation...is a bit complicated."

Xia Ren held Lanaya's hand, subconsciously exerting some force, fearing that she might lose it.

"It's almost completely dark. If you want to go back, you can only wait until tomorrow."

He muttered to himself, analyzing the situation in front of him.

The five assistants, including Ranaya, looked at the rescue team with heavy expressions on their faces and felt something was wrong.

"Where is Professor Qin? Why didn't you see him?"

An assistant couldn't help but ask.

The rescue team members all turned their attention to Xia Ren, waiting for him to speak.

Xia Ren was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "The situation... is a bit complicated. You will know once you get in."

After saying that, he led a large group of people back to the base, but when he was still ten or twenty meters away from the base, he suddenly said: "Women, stay here first, don't get close, the rest of you will follow me in."

Counting Ranaya, the six people who came this time and two female assistants stayed outside together.

Xia Ren didn't explain too much. He led the men to the pair of bloody skeletons and said, "We can't let the bones of the scientific research team be exposed all the time. Let's work hard to bury them first while there is still some light." .”

"Bones?"

The assistant who didn't know the situation was confused.

After Xia Ren finished speaking, he directly opened the tent cloth, revealing the horrific scene below, and the smell of blood instantly spread into the air.

The three new assistants immediately collapsed to the ground in fear.

Although the others have seen it, they still find it difficult to accept it.

"Let me help too."

A ghostly figure stood behind them.

"Professor Qin?"

Three assistants recognized him.

Professor Qin walked with some difficulty and didn't think there was anything scary about the pile of skeletons.

He knew most of the people in the scientific research team. They had met them in several conferences or research laboratories, and some were even partners who had worked with him.

Now, his wife who has been with him day and night for decades is also inside.

Professor Qin stood silently in front of the pile of bones. Xia Ren looked at this scene and was a little touched.

There has never been a moment like this, when life and death were in such stark opposition.

"If the monsters in the Crazy Mountains escape, scenes like this will happen frequently in the human world!"

The confusion in Xia Ren's eyes had completely disappeared, and he became determined again.

Under less than two feet of snow, there was hard ice. Excavation was extremely difficult. It took more than a dozen people nearly an hour to finally bury all the bones.

They used snow to build a grave on top of the grave, but there was no tombstone.

By the time they finished doing this, everyone was so tired that they were covered in sweat.

The three women who had been waiting outside then came in, and someone briefly told them what happened. Under Xia Ren's instructions, the rescue team deliberately concealed the six monster corpses outside the base from the assistants to prevent them from being contaminated as well. .

During dinner, no one said anything.

After experiencing something like this, even the most cheerful person cannot laugh at this time.

The sky has turned completely dark, and the huge vortex above the head still exists. Together with the harsh environment around it, it reminds everyone all the time that they are in danger.

After dinner, Xia Ren and Lanaya chatted for a while. He saw a dark figure walking towards the base alone. After thinking about it, he followed him.

Professor Qin sat cross-legged in front of the tomb. When he noticed Xia Ren coming over, he raised his eyelids slightly.

The two sat together for a while without saying anything.

"I've lived a long time and I've been through a lot of deaths and I've been to a lot of funerals."

Professor Qin opened his mouth and told about his past.

Xia Ren knew that he needed to talk personally at this time, so he didn't interrupt and waited for him to continue.

"A lot of age."

Professor Qin said intermittently.

"I am fifty-five years old this year, and I even attended the funeral of my parents. The feeling of remembrance that I felt at that time is still engraved in my soul and lingers. To this day, except for my children, Even my beloved wife died."

"Maybe I'll die too."

"Gradually, I figured out the meaning of death."

"The dead don't actually need graves."

Professor Qin looked at the snowdrift in front of him and said: "The ones who need graves are the surviving ones, because once they die, they lose all consciousness and are just a pile of rotting meat. The dead don't know pain, and they can't understand the pain of their loved ones." In grief, they were completely free from this world.

It is precisely because of this that death is so terrible, so...frightening. What people are afraid of is not losing, but finding something that can be replaced. This is the meaning of the grave. "

Professor Qin kept mumbling, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

Maybe anyone will turn into a philosopher when they are in an extremely bad mood.

Xia Ren always felt that Professor Qin's two sentences just now were a bit familiar, and then he remembered, didn't Huang Qiuyuan, the criminal investigation expert, also say something similar?

Gradually, Professor Qin's voice became weaker and weaker, to the point where he could no longer be heard.

Xia Ren felt something was wrong.

"Professor Qin?"

He shook Professor Qin's shoulder, and the other person's body seemed to have lost all support and fell directly.

Under his body, the hot blood has melted large swaths of ice and snow.
