It is not that there are no human beings in the wild. In addition to those bandits who make a living by robbing, there are also many wanderers.
These wanderers are either people expelled from other bases, or people who had to flee to other bases after the base they originally relied on for survival was destroyed by monsters.
This year's cold wave went beyond everyone's expectations. The low temperature of minus 60 degrees made it difficult for people living in the wild to survive. They had to speed up their pace in the hope of getting shelter at the next safe base.
But unfortunately, not everyone can reach the safe base.
This world is extremely cruel.
The faces of the people who were frozen into ice sculptures still maintained expressions of fear and despair, but the saddest thing was the direction in which they were staring.
That's the direction of the secure base.
There is obviously only a short distance left, and it is obvious that we will be able to survive soon...
Ji Zhan felt a little sad. Last year she also saw people who froze to death in the base, and they were students she had spent time with day and night.
But this world is like this. In front of nature, human beings are as insignificant as ants.
They can only crawl into the gaps and hide, struggling to survive.
The world didn't even give them time to be sad about the past. They were driven by the cruel reality to keep moving forward.
Ji Zhan couldn't help but look sideways at Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue stopped looking at the people who had turned into ice sculptures.
They now have no energy left to collect the bodies of these people, and cannot even burn them on the spot. They can only force themselves to ignore and forget.
The same was true for Ji Zhan. She withdrew her gaze, held the flamethrower and continued to move forward as planned.
Finally, when the depth of the snow was about to press their chests, they returned to the base.
The base used all means of melting snow and heating, and managed to minimize the losses during this snowy night.
After returning to the base, Qi Huan and Zhao Ziwei were sent to the hospital for treatment. Before they regain consciousness, Jing Sa needs to be temporarily detained.
"I'll go too." Ji Zhan pulled Jing Sa, saying that he didn't want to be separated from Jing Sa.
The cell was not a good place, and Jing Sa did not want Ji Zhan to go in and suffer injustice, so he said: "Go back and wait for me, I will be fine."
But this time Ji Zhan was very stubborn. She held Jing Sa's hand tightly and said to Jing Sa firmly: "I want to go."
Only by Jing Sa's side will she feel at ease. Even if she has to die one day in the future, as long as Jing Sa is still by her side, she will have nothing to fear.
The kind of stability that Jing Sa gave her was something she never had when she was living in the military academy or the outer base.
Jing Sa gave her a safe place to live, so where Jing Sa was, she was there.
This time, no one could persuade Ji Zhan's persistence, so Cheng Yue had no choice but to lock the two of them in a cell and temporarily confiscated their terminals. There were also monitors in the cell to monitor them at all times.
However, because there was no evidence to prove that Jing Sa had done anything detrimental to the base, Cheng Yue did not force them to put on special handcuffs.
Compared with Jing Sa, who had already entered the cell once, Ji Zhan was still a little bit new after entering the cell.
But there was nothing in the cell except two hard beds.
Ji Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed, then knocked on the bed board and said, "It's hard."
Jing Sa snorted softly and said, "That's why I told you to go home first, because you have to come here to suffer."
Apparently Jing Sa also had some complaints about Ji Zhan insisting on following him to the cell.
