Yu Xing once thought about what a world covered by ice and snow would look like.
I have seen a lot of ice fields on TV, and the renderings in science fiction movies also fill the screen with cold colors.
While wandering around the world, he had also been to snow-capped mountains, not to mention that not long ago, he had just been dropped into a snowy scenic spot by the system.
But when he pushed aside the restrictions on the Eastern District and saw the port through the heavy snow, he suddenly realized that this place was different from other places.
The stacked containers were wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and the ice on the ground was enough to freeze a huddled person.
The sky was dark red and blindingly bright, and at first glance it was a vast expanse of white, with no other color at all.
Those traces of life, like specimens, are well preserved in the ice.
The person touching the arm raised one leg, as if he wanted to complain "It's so cold", but before he could finish his sentence, he became a worm in amber forever, maintaining this posture for many, many years.
There is more than one such person, some of them are unaware, and some of them look frightened, just like animals dying here and there.
Xu Wan saw the stunned look on Yu Xing's face for a moment and explained softly: "When heavy snow comes, the port is the first outbreak area."
The appearance of bugs in the book world may seem to others to be a traceable process, but in the port, ice and snow spread rapidly like wild beasts, giving them no time to react.
Snake Girl used Fang Xiao's body to deal with these matters and barely maintained the balance of the town. However, the port was completely necrotic, and in the end it could only be designated as a restricted area and completely isolated.
Xu Wan pulled Yu Xing forward slowly.
There was ice under his feet, which made Yu Xing's walking a little slippery. Fortunately, he could control his body very well.
On the other hand, Xu Wan's walking posture is no longer lively.
The twisting range of the waist increases, and the legs alternate in a strange range. At first glance, it looks like they are swimming.
She swam on the ice, her expression gradually calming down.
"This place is not pretty." The voice of "younger son" came from behind her, and she turned back silently.
Yu Xing let her hold him with one hand, put the other hand in his pocket, and closed his icy blue eyes: "If you look at it for a while, you will go blind."
"With you here, it won't be like this in the future." Xu Wan smiled, her eyes sparkling, "This used to be the busiest place. Your brother developed here when he was a child."
"This is also the best way for Nanshui Town to communicate with the outside world. You will see it when the ice melts."
"Why does the ice melt when I'm in it?" Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and pretended that he didn't know the snake girl's plan or the role of blood, "Can't my brother?"
"He can't." Xu Wan nodded, with a weird smile on her lips, "Only you can."
The two faced each other in silence for two seconds, and then Xu Wan said again: "Come here with me."
They were walking while talking and were already some distance away from the port entrance area.
That invisible gaze once again covered Yu Xing's body. His mind moved and he looked forward.
Xu Wan seemed to want to take him to the container in front.
There was no one around, and the dark red sky filled the air with an ominous atmosphere. In the dark, he could sense that the power of the invisible snake was strengthening.
It has nothing to do with the heavy snow, it should be the result of today's sacrifice.
I don't know what the situation is like in the town.
…
"Do you have to go?" Zhang Yu was queuing up outside the altar. People were crowded in front of him, and red clothes rubbed against red clothes.
He was wearing a fish suit, and all the bells and accessories were jingling, but Boss Hua beside him still looked like an old god, with his hands folded in his sleeves and looking ahead in a daze.
Hearing Zhang Yu's complaint, Hua Subai tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Ask the tour guide if you can not participate."
Zhang Yu: "No, no, no, no."
Just an hour ago, the guide Gao Yiling took them for a walk and finally told them about today's activities——
Everyone must go to the altar to offer sacrifices and perform behaviors that meet the requirements according to their own attire.
People like Zhang Yu have to learn the leaping fish dance, and after offering sacrifices, they dance and pray to the gods together with others.
Wherever he dances, the soul of his brain has already taken up the whole thing, and his body has absolutely nothing to do with the word "flexible"!
But the facts did not allow him to complain.
After Gao Yiling said, "Tourists who fail to complete the task will be detained by the priests for disrespecting the gods and can no longer follow the tour group." Everyone knew that this was a mandatory task.
Moreover, the priest in her words did not know where it came from. At least in the past few days, the deducers did not seem to have heard the word priest anywhere.
Zhang Yu tried to ask if there was still any discussion on this matter, but Gao Yiling scared him back with a very strange look in his eyes.
Gao Yiling today is very different from the previous two days.
Her eyes were evil.
She obviously had a bright smile and her tone was lively, but her whole person seemed to be possessed by something, dark and scary, making people dare not go against her words.
So Zhang Yu learned the leaping fish dance from the dance teacher Gao Yiling hired. It was very simple for him to memorize the movements. What was difficult was how to make it resemble dancing rather than gymnastics.
Now everyone in the tour group is gathered around the altar.
There were too many people here, so everyone got separated.
Gao Yiling's guide flag is located a little further ahead and is the only road sign for everyone.
Complaining to no avail, Zhang Yu glanced at Boss Hua and found that Boss Hua was still looking ahead, so he asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
From his own perspective, he can only see some heads shorter than him and some heads taller than him.
As for the altar surrounded in the middle, it is not visible at all.
Logically speaking, Mr. Hua is not a two-meter-tall giant, so he shouldn't be able to see it either.
Hua Subai obviously doesn't act "according to reason". Facing Zhang Yu's curiosity, he only curled his lips and said, "I'm looking at the scenery."
Zhang Yu: "What scenery? A scenery full of people?"
"Well...if I have to say it, it's probably the scenery of people falling to the ground." Hua Subai sighed, "You are really old and you can see everything, so I won't describe it to you. Anyway, you will see it soon.
.”
Zhang Yu: "..."
etc?
Please tell me clearly about the scene of people falling to the ground. Please tell me clearly!
Out of sight, another human head rolled down from his neck.
The priest in red clothes held an ax and said in a gentle tone: "It's a pity that your clothes don't match your status. You shouldn't have come to cause trouble to the gods."
The headless corpse fell with a thud, and the gurgling blood spread along the sunken lines of the altar, dyeing the newly fallen goose feather snow red and becoming part of the bloody lines of the altar.
The townspeople in the innermost two or three circles looked dazed and did not express any opinions on this. They just mechanically and stiffly advanced one step and climbed onto the altar through the small entrance and exit specially set aside.
There are already many corpses on the altar.
The people in the inner circle of the altar were silent and in a daze.
People in the outer circle of the altar cheered and were beaming with joy.
The inside and the outside are like two separated worlds. ()
