"How long have I been asleep?" I asked as I got dressed and stood up.
"It's only been more than an hour. I gave you some warm water before. It's very cold here. You can't sleep for too long. Even if you don't wake up, I will wake you up." Chang Shan patted my arm with a smile on his face.
said.
I looked around and saw that there was still ice all around here. Fortunately, the ice demon did not appear at this time, otherwise it would have been enough for us to drink a pot. Even if Chang Shan was here, he might not be able to protect us.
I suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Iron Mask? How are they doing?"
Chang Shan held my shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Shunzi is at the door with Iron Mask on his back. He's fine for now. Let Li Xin take a look at him again later. I think he should be able to get through it."
After Shunzi came back with the iron mask on his back, Li Xin started to re-bandage the iron mask. We didn't have medical drugs originally, but Li Xin always carried them with him. When we ran out of the brothel, Jiao Ba was like
He saw the medical box, so he brought it over.
If he didn't bring it over, there would really be no way to help Tie Mian. Li Xin gave Tie Mian a tetanus shot and re-bandaged the wound, but even so, Tie Mian's health was still in poor condition.
After all, he had suffered a lot of bleeding and experienced so much torture before. In fact, he is really tenacious and can survive until now. I admire him from the bottom of my heart. This man looks very weak, but his willpower is far beyond my imagination.
, he is a pure man.
After Li Xin bandaged him, I asked, "How is it? Is Tiemian okay?"
Li Xin said with a stern expression, "It's okay for the time being... but it's too cold here and it's not good for his wounds, so we have to get him back to the ship as soon as possible."
I shook my head and said, "It's impossible to get back to the ship. Think of another way. Jiao Ba and Big Man almost got lost here in order to send Tiemian back to the ship. This damn place is really too dangerous.
I’m afraid it’s not that easy to get out.”
Li Xin held my hand and said, "Then... let's think of another way. Don't worry, Iron Mask will be fine in a short time."
Tie Mian fell on the cold-proof mat and said weakly, "Mr. Jin... thank you for doing so much for me, and thank you everyone. Without you, I... I might have died a long time ago."
"Don't talk so much. We are a team and no one will leave anyone behind. You should take a rest first and call you when we leave." Chang Shan wrapped Tie Mian and asked him to take a rest for the time being.
"By the way, Li Xin, why are you here? Where are Mr. Mai and the others?" Then I remembered why she was alone.
Li Xin looked at me and said, "We were all together originally, but I didn't expect...something happened in the middle..." She looked very sad and seemed reluctant to talk about what happened before.
"What's going on? What happened? Tell me." I held her arm and gave her the best comfort.
"Yes, Li Xin, you have to tell us what happened to you after we left? What happened on the way?" Chang Shan asked softly with his arms folded on his chest.
Li Xin's expression was very painful. She shook her head slowly and said, "I...I don't know what to say. When I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable and...suffering."
"Hey, my sister, what's going on? Are you telling me? If there's anything difficult, let's find a solution together." Shunzi was a little anxious.
I held Li Xin's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "It's okay. No matter what happened to you before, I won't hurt you again."
Li Xin said with a heavy face, "Zhongyi, you...do you know why I was lying on the ground and almost froze to death?"
I shook my head, and Li Xin said word for word, "Yes...it was Jenny who did it."
"No, you...what did you say?"
I couldn't believe my ears. Li Xin and Jenny had the best relationship, at least on the surface they were the best. There were only two women on the ship. Li Xin was also Jenny's bodyguard, but now Li Xin said Jenny was going to kill her.
It seems that the whole thing has a lot to do with the ice demon.
"It was Jenny who did it. She almost killed me." Li Xin's expression was serious and he didn't mean to be joking at all.
Several of us looked at each other, and everyone showed an incredulous expression. Chang Shan quickly asked, "Are you sure it's Jenny who wants to kill you?"
Li Xin squinted her eyes and said with hatred, "Do you think I am lying and deliberately framed Jenny?"
"No, we don't doubt what you said, but... what happened in the middle? Can you tell us in detail?" Chang Shan asked seriously.
Li Xin sighed and recalled, "Trouble started when the three of you went to find Jiao Ba..."
According to Li Xin's recollection, not long after the three of us left, maybe half an hour at most, there was movement outside the tent. At first, there were some shadows wandering around outside the tent, but every time the tent was opened, there was another scene outside.
Nothing at all.
But as soon as the tent was closed, those black shadows would be seen outside, and he didn't know what they were. Mr. Mai decided at that time to leave here as soon as possible. The danger might be coming, and he couldn't delay any longer.
"Leave now? Why don't you wait until Zhongyi and the others come back?" Li Xin looked at Mr. Mai and asked.
Mai Lao said while packing his things, "It's too late, there's something outside. If we wait any longer, we will be surrounded."
Martin looked very calm, "Mr. Mai, is it as scary as you said? We have so many weapons at hand, even if there is something, there should be no problem."
"Really? If you are willing to stay, then you can stay."
When Li Xin saw that Mr. Mai was so determined, they began to pack their things and prepare to evacuate the place.
But at this moment, the tent was suddenly torn open, and a white wolf with blue eyes broke in. Everyone present was frightened, but Mantou reacted quickly enough, and he casually took out the ghost with a gun.
Things were broken.
And this was just a prelude. Groups of white wolves began to besiege the small tent. Mai Lao and others resisted with guns inside the tent. This is what we saw later. The bullet holes and scratches left on the tent were all
It was caused by these white wolves.
After getting the equipment, Mai Lao said hello, and he took cover. Everyone began to retreat and ran directly to the rear. Mai Lao held the gun and shot while walking. He smashed many white wolves in the process, and the bullet casings escaped along with him.
The route left some information, and this is what we found, the shell casings left on the ground.
After running for a while, Li Xin and the others temporarily got rid of the group of white wolves, but they had no other way to go. They had no choice but to go inside. On the way, they also saw two other frozen ice ships.
Boat.
Mr. Mai decided to check first, but this time, they did not disperse. The number was already very small. If they acted separately again, there would be certain dangers, so they could only act together as a group.
When Li Xin and the others inspected the two ice ships, nothing strange happened. The results of the searches by Jiao Ba and I were the same. There was nothing in the two ice ships. Mr. Mai judged that the two ice ships were empty.
The ship probably walked into this place accidentally and was finally frozen.
After checking the two ice ships, they continued to move forward. There was a heavy fog area in the middle. After passing through this fog area, they came to the ice city, but Li Xin and the others were luckier than us.
When they were in a foggy area, they came over safely and did not encounter any attacks from white wolves.
At first, when they first saw the Ice City, everyone was surprised because these buildings could not be seen on the mainland at all. The most important thing was that no one could explain how this strange phenomenon was formed.
, even Mai Lao and Martin, two self-proclaimed experts, have no clue.
After they walked through the city gate, Mr. Mai decided to ignore these buildings and continue to move forward, but Martin disagreed. He asked to check around first. After all, these scenes were something he had never seen in his life, and he was very excited.
, I want to see these peculiar buildings in ancient China.
But Mai Lao stressed again and again, "There will be dangers in this place. Let's not worry about these things and keep moving forward."
"Mr. Mai, since we have already come here, there is no reason not to go in and take a look. I have never seen this kind of strange ancient Chinese building with my own eyes. Besides, you can just go after taking a look. It won't take you long.
It's time." Martin has his own intentions. Maybe he can find some treasures in this ice city.
"I think what Martin said is right. Why don't we just look around. Anyway, it's not too late." Jenny's words made Mr. Mai retreat. If Jenny didn't agree, Mr. Mai would definitely not stay.
Yes, but Jenny is now completely eaten to death by Martin. This woman always turns her elbows outward at critical moments.
Mai Lao glanced at Li Xin, and Li Xin said casually, "I don't care, I will listen to you. I'm just worried about Zhongyi and the others. I don't know if they will find us."
"Don't worry, Brother Jin will definitely catch up. Don't worry too much." Shaoyu said with a smile.
Mr. Mai finally said helplessly, "Oh... well, let's just look around."
He had to agree, and it was at this time that the problem arose. Logically speaking, they did not check separately, but acted as a group. But every time they went to a place, the big guys had to spread out and search everywhere. It couldn't be done
A group of people searching a house together can't afford to waste time.
This is the crux of the matter. As long as there is separation, the fatal threat is all-pervasive. They have searched several places before, such as inns, restaurants, banks, etc., but nothing terrible has happened, of course.
, Martin also failed to find anything of value.
But Mr. Mai repeatedly reminded everyone, "Everyone must not let down their guard. It is really dangerous here. I always feel like there is a pair of eyes staring at us secretly." This is the so-called sixth sense for people who often go through life and death. To put it bluntly,
