The landscape outside changed again, and all traces disappeared in the snowstorm, leaving only a smooth patch of snow and a brighter light after the snow clouds dissipated. The cold wind was still a little bit, not too strong, and finally
It is lingering and will probably stop completely before dark.
Looking at the long traces left in the snow behind her, Cassia focused on Ye Jielin again and stood there.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jielin came over and took off her mask to breathe.
"Nothing, just thinking about the assessment again." Cassia retracted her gaze and answered while continuing to move forward.
A few hours after the blizzard stopped, the two took their chosen weapons and equipment and left the cave. There was silence all around, and the "crunching" sound of the snow could be heard far and wide. The sound in the cave
In the last two days, Ye Jielin finally made up her mind not to participate in the competition for quota.
The female intuition she relied on became stronger and stronger, and later it became a signal that Ye Jielin could not erase, greatly affecting her judgment. The panic that had not appeared for a long time also came to her at this time, and she always felt that it would happen.
Something bad happened, but intuition is usually just a guiding signal. Ye Jielin did not get the answer she wanted from her head full of thinking.
What will leave her? Or does this feeling mean that a life-threatening danger is approaching? Walking behind Cassia, Ye Jielin seemed a little distracted, and often could not catch up. She was still recalling the previous events.
I decided to focus on the nearest things at that time, and there was no one else around except Cassia.
She understood that if she wanted to compete for the spot, she would not rely on herself, but on Cassia on the side. Does this mean that Cassia would be in danger? No matter how she thought about it, Ye Jielin couldn't get around this link, so there
She gave up the plan before the assessment. Now that this intuition appeared, she would not let Cassia take risks anymore. Compared with the quota, the living Cassia is much more important.
After advancing for several hours, in the afternoon, the two of them had left the original mountain peak. The straight route took them to an outer mountain peak further away from the central area. Here they began to meet many evacuated assessors, most of whom were silent.
I don’t know if it was the snowstorm that shattered their ideas, or something else that made them see their position clearly.
It was rare for them to be safe and sound, and staying away from the central area seemed to mean a tacit understanding that there would be no more fights. They only looked at each other when they met on the way, and then immersed themselves in moving forward again.
The second type of creatures also disappeared at this time. The strange thing is that they have completely converged towards the central area? Cassia would look back behind her from time to time. The bright light and breeze made the field of vision wider than ever before, and she could see very
In the distance, more than a dozen peaks overlap behind you, standing like an icy throne, waiting for the final victors to appear one by one. All signs indicate that the thirty-six ferocious creatures are about to come out, and they are second-category creatures.
The beginning of purposeful gathering is one of the signs.
Soon after, the terrain began to rise, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, the snow became thinner, and the ground under our feet was also hard rock. The assessors gathered one by one at the foot of the mountain, and they lost something and became inactive, frozen in the snowstorm.
Something made them dim like weeds after frost.
Walking through the crowds with Ye Jielin, the two of them continued walking along the foot of the mountain. It is not absolutely safe here. Cassia wants to take Ye Jielin to the outermost peak, where the risk factor is the least.
.
"It's okay to think about how to get out then." Cassia thought to herself.
After walking the arc distance at the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour, an open and slightly raised exposed rock platform appeared in front of their eyes. It naturally became a gathering place for crowds, whether they were people exiting from the center or people exiting from the center.
Teams from the outer areas heading towards the center all regard this place as a temporary resting place and a place to collect relevant information.
About two thousand people stayed here, and a buzzing sound spread from the center. Ye Jielin pulled Cassia, who wanted to leave immediately, to the rock and quickly entered the crowd. There was a large group of people obviously
They gathered under a steep rock and were observing something there.
In the field of vision, there are about a dozen alloy frames used to imprison the second type of creatures. I don't know who moved them and piled them up under the steep rocks. It seems that those things are what people are observing.
"I don't think there will be any useful information here." Cassia said that in his opinion, in the current time period, there is no threat to him in the outer areas.
"It's good to just take a break." Ye Jielin replied. At this time, like most people around her, she didn't take off her mask, which gave her voice an accent. "Go over and take a look. There seems to be something hanging on the stacked alloy frames."
."
Walking in front, but only a few dozen meters away, in front of the steep rock, Ye Jielin saw clearly the entirety of the alloy frame. It was used as a bracket. A dozen large frames were stacked on both sides and fixed on the rock. The bracket was set up.
During the period, he was holding an alloy rope, and the things were hung on the alloy rope.
At first glance, it looked like more than a dozen hard ice cubes. If you squinted your eyes and eliminated the influence of the light reflected from the edges of the ice cubes, you could clearly see the frozen corpse inside the ice cube. It looked like amber, with sword wounds and gunshot wounds on the corpse.
The hole through which he came out was clearly visible, and his expression at the time of death was also completely captured and preserved.
At this time, Ye Jielin noticed that there was a row of vague words on the rocks behind the dozen corpses, words written with a fire gun. After a snowstorm, some of the rocks were erased, making it even more difficult to see.
It was clear. Only the few characters visible between the numbers and the last gear logo that looked like a sun reminded Ye Jielin of something. That was the logo of the Leonard family.
Ye Jielin turned around and found Cassia standing more than ten meters behind her. When she came to the side, Cassia retracted her gaze from the corpses and turned to Ye Jielin.
"Is this how all big families do things?" Cassia asked emotionlessly, "I mean some people inside, a few people. I don't know them at all, they just met on the way and we traveled together for less than half a day. The only message
Those are the names of two of them, one is Naomi and the other is Lucius."
Cassia looked up again at the two corpses hanging in the middle: "They are all small families. They also said that after the assessment, you can visit them if you have the opportunity."
Ye Jielin followed Cassia's gaze and saw that both Na'e Mi and Lucius were shot through the head. A small-caliber pistol with little power was deliberately used to make the hole in the forehead very clear, and
You won't be blown away by bullets even if you show your face.
"As you think, there are just some people, a few people. Many people don't do this, and there is still a basic bottom line. But there are too many people in a big family. In order to ensure continuity, the younger generation is even more so.
.Because the people at the top know that many of the younger generation will lose money during the growth process, so their base is large enough."
"Do you need my help? You have always been by my side before, but now it can be seen as me by your side. Now it is the assessment, and it is very likely that all members of the Leonard family will die during the assessment.
As for after the assessment, I will help you deal with it as much as possible."
"After the assessment?" Cassia murmured, and then a voice that sounded like a joking laugh suddenly came from under the mask, "Whether it is during the assessment or after the assessment, I think they can only rely on
This is a way to express my pitiful mood." (To be continued)
