It was still dark at 6 o'clock in the morning, and they walked forward with headlamps. Beams of light shone ahead, and because of the reflection of the ice field, the road ahead looked sparkling.
Half an hour later, they arrived near the Central Financial Building.
The ice pit that was previously broken by the swordfish has also been frozen again.
"These pits have frozen again." Zhao Yun took a look, "It's just that it's still a little thin, probably only three to five centimeters."
Ren Wangwang replied: "It will be thicker in two days."
Zhao Xian held Qiao Xuejun tightly and said, "Be careful not to step on it."
Qiao Xuejun: “… Yeah.”
In fact, she was held by Zhao Xian the whole time, so she had no chance to step on him.
Zhao Yun immediately reminded Ren Wangwang in an exaggerated manner: "Hey, be careful not to step on it. If you fall, it will be too dangerous!"
Ren Wangwang: "How about we just hold one hand?"
Qiao Xuejun: “…”
Being teased by the two, Zhao Xian didn't feel embarrassed at all, nor did he stop them. He even had a smile in his eyes and brows.
Zhao Yun walked across the ice pit and gently hit the re-solidified ice with the butt of his gun. "It's quite solid. How did those sea monsters rush up here yesterday? How much strength must have been put into such thick ice? Wouldn't their heads have been buzzing?"
Ren Wangwang also found it strange: "We have seen this kind of swordfish before. Their sword-like mouths are really awesome, but they will break when they chisel at this kind of ice. There were two of them yesterday, and their swords were broken. It seems a bit strange no matter how I think about it..."
How could I not blame him? Qiao Xuejun thought that those swordfish were summoned by Shen Xingtang using system props. Their behavior was not under their own control at all, and they could only let Shen Xingtang manipulate them.
However, seeing these ice pits, Qiao Xuejun thought of what the system said. Shen Xingtang was dead, and it devoured Shen Xingtang's system, but only swallowed 40%.
It is said that Shen Xingtang might be resurrected. If he is really resurrected...
She looked at Zhao Xian. Should she tell Zhao Xian about this in advance?
But if I tell her, I will inevitably have to mention her background, which is not very normal. What will Zhao Xian think?
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhao Xian immediately noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her.
Before Qiao Xuejun could answer, Zhao Xian laughed and continued, "How about I carry you and walk with you, so you can always look at me. You don't have to look at the road."
As soon as Zhao Xian said this, the people behind him looked at him with subtle expressions that were hard to describe.
He is worthy of being the captain. Originally, Ren Wangwang and the others wanted to emulate Zhao Xian, to embarrass others and have fun, but this kind of words... I really can't learn it.
Qiao Xuejun declined: "...Thank you for the invitation, my legs and feet are fine."
Zhao Xian: "Really?"
Qiao Xuejun lowered her voice: "...be normal."
Zhao Xian gave up with some regret.
Several people continued to move forward. It was still a long time before dawn, the frost was deep and heavy, and there were gusts of cold wind. However, there were densely packed buildings in this area, so the wind blocking effect was good.
"It's too cold." Zhao Yun rubbed his frozen nose through his mask and complained, "When will this kind of life end?"
Even though there are buildings that are windproof, it is still very cold when walking through the alleys between the buildings.
"alert!"
Suddenly, after turning a corner along the building, Qiao Xuejun was blocked by Zhao Xian behind him. Zhao Xian had already picked up a pistol and aimed it at something lying on the road ahead.
Ren Wangwang and the other two immediately rushed forward with their guns raised and stood on Zhao Xian's left and right, pointing their guns at the suspicious objects. They looked left and right to check for any abnormalities in a defensive posture.
Zhao Xian narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a person. Let's go and take a look."
"Yes!" Ren Wangwang trotted forward with his gun raised.
Qiao Xuejun poked her head out from behind Zhao Xian and looked at the man on the ground.
The headlights of several people shone on him clearly. The man was wearing a bulky black down jacket. He was lying on his back with his eyes closed. His face was grim and he was motionless.
Ren Wangwang kicked him, but he still didn't move.
Ren Wangwang squatted down and touched his neck and chest: "Captain, he's still breathing!"
The remaining few people also came over.
"Your clothes are wet." Ren Wangwang patted his face, "Hey, wake up."
Qiao Xuejun came over and saw that the man's forehead was bruised and purple, and there was blood under his nose, which had already solidified. He looked like he had been in a fight, and he seemed to have fallen into water, with ice on his hair and eyelashes.
He was shivering all over and seemed to be extremely cold.
Another soldier had already completed a simple body search, and found a lighter, a small bottle of Erguotou, but only one sip was left, a photo of a little boy who looked about two or three years old, and other small items. Nothing else.
Zhao Xian squatted down and picked up one of the man's hands. Everyone saw that the man's palm was clenched into a fist, but it didn't seem to be a complete fist, as if he was holding something in his palm.
Zhao Xian tried to pry his hands open, but failed.
Qiao Xuejun was very surprised. She knew how strong Zhao Xian was. This man had lost consciousness but was still holding his fists tightly.
Perhaps he felt someone prying his hands apart, and he actually opened his eyes.
Ren Wangwang: "Can you hear me? What's your name?"
The man didn't react at all. He just stared at him with his eyes open. He trembled even more violently. He opened his mouth to speak, but was still shaking too hard to make a sound.
"There are no obvious external injuries on his body, but he looks like he's suffering from hypothermia. Let's get him into that room to keep him warm."
After hearing Zhao Xian's instructions, the man was immediately helped up, and they climbed through the window into the empty house next door.
