Qiao He didn't understand what her will was.

"I don't quite understand, I don't know what you're talking about, sigh... speak like a human being, Tongzi."

The system remained silent: "..."

"Just consider it a coincidence. Our destinies are similar, so I can parasitize you. In your human terms, this is parasitism," the system said in a low voice.

"But don't think this is scary. I said if you die, I will die too. But if I die one day, you will most likely not be affected. You will just lose the memories related to me," the system continued.

Qiao He frowned: "Why? Have you lost your memories related to you?"

This feeling made Qiao He very unhappy, because those were her memories, and they had suddenly disappeared. It was as if someone was hiding behind her and secretly altering her memories, which was really disgusting.

The "Resignation System" said in a low voice, "Well, because I'm not human, when I die, I'm gone forever, including any trace I left behind. So your memories will also disappear. But don't worry, you'll just not remember what I was or what help I provided. Your memories and those of everyone else will be perfectly fine and will never disappear."

Qiao He breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is. But System, you're so powerful, you shouldn't die, right?"

The system seemed to chuckle softly, and quickly said, "Not at all. Not only will I not die, I will also keep you alive."

Qiao He laughed: "That's great! System, you really are the best system in the world!"

System: "Hmm, of course, we are a community."

"Let's wait for now. I should be able to let you communicate with them in the next day or two." After saying that, the system continued, "Now your body needs to be preserved. I see that everyone is already trying to find a way to preserve your body, so you don't need to worry about your body rotting."

Qiao He said, both amused and exasperated, "Okay, okay, don't make it sound so scary, alright?"

"Oh, by the way, do you have any way to get me back?" Qiao He asked curiously.

The system shook its head: "Not for now. If there were a resurrection-type ability user, that would be great. They should be able to help you establish a connection with your body, so you can go back smoothly. Until then, I can help you maintain the existence of your consciousness."

Qiao He replied, "Okay, I understand."

"Well, this works too. There's still a glimmer of hope." Qiao He said softly, even though she knew the probability was too small. Where could you find a superhuman with the resurrection ability?

Qiao He followed behind them. She couldn't touch them directly or talk to them. At this moment, Qiao He could only hear their voices and see their actions.

The iceberg was dead and wouldn't stop them from leaving. Ye Hong's body was mangled beyond recognition, almost like mud, and remained inside the iceberg forever.

Most importantly, everyone eventually managed to escape from inside the iceberg.

They traveled on for two or three days without sleep or rest.

On the third night, Bo Shiwu suddenly stopped and said, "Let's stay here and get some rest."

“Next, let’s continue on our way,” Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice.

No one spoke.

Bo Shiwu placed Qiao He in the sleeping bag with a blank expression. Qiao Hua had already healed Qiao He's external and internal injuries, but she was no longer alive; now, only an empty shell lay there.

The children looked dejected. Even though they were resting here, they refused to rest, each with a blank face and no expression.

Bo Shiwu looked at Bai Tiantian and Wang Chengye and suddenly said, "We will continue heading north. I'm going to take Ahe to find her biological parents."

“Ye Hong is dead, and his revenge has been taken. You can leave the group and go wherever you want. You don’t need to follow us all the time.” Bo Shiwu’s words were cold and somewhat inhumane.

They were willing to follow in the first place because they shared the same goal: to kill Ye Hong.

Now that Ye Hong is dead, Bai Tiantian and Wang Chengye have no reason to follow them.

However, to Bo Shiwu and Shen Huai's surprise, Bai Tiantian said firmly, "I'm not leaving."

"Qiao He... I will also protect her and help her find her parents." Bai Tiantian's eyes were cold and resolute, as if this matter had become her life's creed.

Wang Chengye hesitated for a moment, then finally lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have to withdraw."

“The dead cannot be brought back to life. All I want now is to go back to the base and rebuild a shelter that can accommodate all kinds of survivors,” Wang Chengye said in a low voice. “You are already very strong. To be honest, my abilities haven’t helped you much. If we continue north, there are very few survivors there. I might as well take advantage of the fact that the polar night is not over yet and the next natural disaster has not yet struck to save those ordinary, weak humans.”

Wang Chengye said with shame, "I have done many wrong things. For the rest of my life, I hope to use my life to save more lives."

"The flame of humanity cannot be extinguished like this. I have always believed that humanity needs hope, otherwise it will be like this polar night, where we can no longer see the light of the future, and everyone will be lost in the darkness and die silently in the darkness."

Bo Shiwu nodded slightly: "I understand. Take some supplies for the return trip, and you can leave now."

Wang Chengye was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Qiao He, don't think I'm being hypocritical. I also have things I want to do, to create something with my short life."

"Thank you, thank you for killing Ye Hong." After saying these last words, Wang Chengye only took the food, protective clothing, and night vision goggles he needed for the journey, and nothing else.

Wang Chengye left the group.

Silence fell again. None of the kittens spoke, and even when they did, they only stayed by Qiao He's body.

They knew perfectly well that it was a corpse, but they just wouldn't leave.

Three days later.

Qiao He finally got the chance to communicate with them!

Qiao He was extremely anxious and excited at the same time!

She asked the system, "System, system, so how am I supposed to communicate with them? Give me some advice! Am I supposed to come back from the dead?"

The "Playing it Off" system: "...No."

"Write it down, either on the snow or on paper," the system said. "I will give you the power to control external objects, but it may be very short-lived, only one minute. You need to hurry."

"Are you ready now?" the system asked her.

Qiao He said excitedly, "Alright! Let's go!"
