There were bursts of snow dust floating in the sky, and countless stars were dotted all over the sky. The faint starlight pierced through the diffuse snow dust, carrying the moonlight to illuminate the snow-capped mountains.
Standing under the towering Mount Everest, Shen Cheng felt so insignificant.
Looking up, Shen Cheng stared blankly at the snow-capped mountain, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
For some reason, Shen Cheng always felt vaguely uneasy. Tomorrow's trip to Mount Everest would probably not be too simple.
“Bang—”
Suddenly, Chen Cheng felt his heart palpitate suddenly, as if something was eager to tell Chen Cheng something.
——Heart scales.
After Meng Yi completed Meng Nian's law, the heart scale was still in Shen Cheng's body, Meng Nian was still relying on Shen Cheng to survive, and could turn into a ball of light again and enter Shen Cheng's body at any time. Moreover, the condition for the two to keep their distance no longer existed.
In Meng Yi's words, the heart scale in Chen Cheng's body is the essence of Meng Nian. As long as Chen Cheng is not dead, Meng Nian will not be destroyed.
Chen Cheng was very familiar with this throbbing feeling. This was his reaction when Xin Lin guided him to find Meng Yi.
And now, the laws of dream thought have been completely fulfilled, which means...
Chen Cheng covered his chest and looked at this extremely sacred snow mountain, not knowing whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
Is the alien civilization's device for creating the Sky Cave located on Mount Everest?
Shen Cheng still remembers what the dragon head mural told him.
Find that alien device and destroy it!
But after experiencing Meng Yi's incident, Chen Cheng knew that although Xin Lin would give him guidance, he could not provide accurate guidance at all.
If the alien civilization device is buried in the snow, or even in the ice, where should Shen Cheng find it?
Do I have to wait for the device to grow legs and come to me on its own, just like Meng Yi did?
Shen Cheng suddenly remembered the skeleton of the giant bird on the top of the mountain.
The two appeared in the same snow mountain. Could it be that... there is some connection between them?
"Chen Cheng." A crisp voice brought Chen Cheng back to his senses. He turned around and saw Liu Su, wearing a windbreaker, coming out: "Are you still awake? We have to climb the mountain tomorrow, so make sure you have enough energy."
"Ah... I slept a lot during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to see the scenery." Shen Cheng replied.
Liusu's black cat ears trembled, and she turned to look at Chen Cheng's room. Even from a distance and over the sharp wind, she could hear the snoring inside, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.
"If you find it too noisy, you can come sleep over here with us." Liusu couldn't help but blush when she said this.
However, Liusu really did not say this with any selfish motives. Everything she did was to ensure that Shen Cheng could have a good rest.
"Although it was indeed very noisy, I didn't lie. I really couldn't sleep. I feel very energetic now. Liusu, you should go and rest first."
It doesn’t matter to Shen Cheng whether there is noise over there or not. If Shen Cheng wants to sleep, he can use Crow Huanya’s ability to drag himself into the illusion and force himself to fall asleep.
"Actually, I can't sleep either." Liusu came to Chen Cheng's side, stood beside him, and looked up at Mount Everest with Chen Cheng. She couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It's very beautiful..."
"But it's also very dangerous." Chen Cheng's words broke the atmosphere, leaving Liusu speechless.
"What were you thinking about just now? I always feel like you seem to be worried about something."
"I just feel a little uneasy." Shen Cheng shook his head: "I hope everything goes well."
Hearing this, Liusu sighed and spit out a long white silk thread in this cold environment.
"This time on Mount Everest, the Institute of Biological Sciences may have discovered something else. They brought everyone from the Wolf Team along, even including you, who has no mountaineering experience but possesses powerful combat capabilities. I have a feeling that things won't go smoothly."
"If there really was any danger, why would the Institute of Biological Sciences hide it from us?" Shen Cheng glanced sideways.
"Perhaps the Institute of Biological Sciences isn't sure either? Or perhaps there are other factors. After all, the Institute of Biological Sciences won't joke with your lives. Whether it's you, Yu Lan, Dr. Xiao Liang, or the Wolf Team, you're all the Institute's mainstays."
"Liu Su..." Chen Cheng suddenly turned his head and said solemnly to Liu Su: "If anything dangerous really happens, I will definitely protect you."
The last time in Kunlun Mountain, when Liusu's arm was injured, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel distressed when he recalled it.
Liusu's pretty face turned slightly red and her ears trembled slightly. It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy.
But Liu Su still shook her head and said, "I'm a special agent. Injuries are common. After all, I'm your senior. There's no need to protect me too much. And although I'm nothing compared to you, my strength is still not weak. If you want to protect me, you should protect Dr. Yu Lan and Dr. Xiao Liang more. Their combat power is not high and they don't have much ability to protect themselves."
"I still need your care during the climb. This is all I can do for you right now."
Chen Cheng stretched, turned around and looked at where everyone was resting, and smiled: "Besides, I want to protect you. It has nothing to do with whether you are a special agent or not, because you are my family."
"family……"
Liusu looked at Chen Cheng and found that his expression was very normal, as if he was just stating an ordinary fact.
Chen Cheng's view of family seems very simple. As long as they live under the same roof, as long as they live together, as long as they have a certain bond and connection, to Chen Cheng, they are his family.
Although she knew this was the case, Liusu's heart was still beating fast.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
It's always like this, I suddenly say something that is easy to be ambiguous without any awareness of it.
But it is precisely because of this that she likes to stay with Shen Cheng.
"Go and rest." Shen Cheng said. After all, it's not a good thing to stay outside in the cold all the time.
"Yeah." Liusu nodded and said softly, "Good night."
"good evening."
The two of them returned to their simple houses, and the world returned to silence, with only the sound of snoring in the air. Shen Cheng once wondered if the snoring of this group of people would trigger an avalanche.
The next day, everyone woke up early, had a simple breakfast, and got ready to go.
Everyone puts on communication headsets, contacts their own information liaisons, and connects the communications of people around them to ensure that they can be contacted at any time.
"Morning, Shen Cheng!"
"Mr. Chen Cheng, good morning~"
Hearing the voices of Ximing and Lingxue coming from the headphones, Chen Cheng immediately felt relieved, as if he had returned to the cat cafe: "Ximing, Lingxue, good morning, how is the cat cafe?"
"Everything is fine at the cat cafe. Everyone is waiting for you to come back." Lingxue said with a smile, "You and Liusu must come back safely."
Shen Cheng nodded vigorously: “Yes, definitely!”
Everything was ready, and the group officially embarked on the journey to the summit of Mount Everest.
