By around two o'clock in the morning, everyone was yawning non-stop.
Zhang Long stood up and wiped his face with snow to feel refreshed and told them to go back to sleep quickly.
Zhang Long stared at the lake motionless, fearing that he would miss the time.
Because a minute or a second could cause them to lose their lives.
As time passed little by little, at five o'clock, at the dawn of dawn, the entire lake returned to normal.
It's just a pity that this place is surrounded by fog all year round, and the sun can't be seen at all.
Fortunately, they found the watch somewhere in the laboratory, otherwise there would be no way to determine the time.
When Li Yi took over, Zhang Long still looked energetic, not like he hadn't slept all night.
However, he forced himself to go to bed for the night's activities.
By noon, the smell of meat woke Zhang Long up from his hunger.
Having dinner with them gives them a rare moment of leisure and allows them to appreciate the surrounding environment.
In fact, if they weren't trapped here, the scenery would still be very beautiful.
The sky and earth are covered in silver, with some evergreen trees dotted among the white snow, which looks pleasing to the eye.
The various monsters in the forest would be a beautiful sight if they didn't eat people.
They enjoyed the rare time quietly, talking to each other, as if they were just out for fun.
As night fell, they had already started packing their luggage and were ready to set off.
Everyone had a lot of dinner, and it took a lot of effort to walk on the lake for a while.
Not to mention some unknown dangers.
After all, the lake freezes at night, and the animals that often live here must know it.
Time passed slowly, and they had never felt that time was so slow as it was today.
As white things appear on the surface of the lake, the lake gradually begins to freeze.
As they waited slowly, after eleven o'clock, everything as far as the eye could see was already frozen.
They held on to the business in their hands tightly, and followed Zhang Long up first, then the second, and then the third.
The reason why they held on to the rope instead of tying everyone together was because they were afraid that one person would fall into the water and drag everyone down.
If you tie it like this, even if you fall into the water, others can throw it on the ice to relieve the weight.
Zhang Long was the first to go up. Because he was walking so fast, he staggered and almost fell down on it. Fortunately, he managed to steady himself.
They made sufficient preparations before stepping onto the ice.
Afraid of slippery ice, they used a lot of branches and some random grass to tie to the soles of their shoes to increase friction.
Everyone is holding a crutch in their hand to prevent them from falling accidentally.
Slowly they all got on the ice, a few of them moving forward carefully but quickly.
No one knows how big this lake is.
It was only a few hours, and the ice was so slippery, it was unclear whether they could feel it melting before it melted.
"Everyone, slow down."
Zhang Long gently tapped the ice surface in front of him with a branch. If there was any weak spot, the sound would be heard.
They kept walking, no one dared to speak, for fear of attracting something bad.
Time continued to pass, and it was already past one o'clock. They had walked less than two hundred meters, but at a glance, they still couldn't see the other side.
There was not much time left, and they had no time to waste any more.
They couldn't help but speed up a lot, fearing that they wouldn't be able to get ashore in time.
Looking from a distance, the sky and earth are silent and white.
A lake like a mirror is tightly embedded in it.
However, there are a few small black spots on the mirror. These are Zhang Long and the others.
There is nothing up close, but from a distance, they seem to be walking into the monster's mouth step by step.
"Be careful."
Zhang Long's speed has become much faster. After walking so far, they have also mastered some methods of walking on the ice without falling.
As time passed by, they became more and more restless.
At around two o'clock, they finally saw the shore, and one or two of them were very excited.
"Come on everyone, we're almost there."
As Zhang Long finished speaking, a slight voice sounded next to him.
A few people are a little nervous to begin with. After all, if the ice breaks accidentally, all of them will be ruined.
After hearing the sound, they "held their breath and concentrated, and no one dared to move."
There was another "click" sound, and they quickly looked over. A black thing, like a puddle of mud, looked at them with green eyes.
The mud-like body, as if it had no legs, kept moving on the ground, slowly approaching Zhang Long and the others.
"We have no time to care about him."
Zhang Long looked at his watch and said: "Time is running out, we must speed up."
As they walked, they looked back at the mud from time to time.
The mud seemed to keep its original distance from them.
Although they didn't understand what he was doing, they couldn't care less.
As they could see the shore, they moved faster because time waits for no one.
"Less than an hour left."
As time passed, they could even hear the sound of water flowing under the ice.
The sound of running water, which usually sounds very exciting, now seems like a reminder.
If they are not careful, they will fall directly in and be wiped out.
"We'll be there soon, still more than ten meters away."
As Zhang Long finished speaking, they even started to trot, fearing that they would not be able to get up.
The sound of water rushing under the ice became louder and louder, and the ice surface became more and more transparent, and you could even see the water flowing underneath.
This made them even more nervous. If they fell, it would really be over.
That mud-like thing was still following her, and they couldn't care less about talking to her.
Finally there were still three or four meters left, and they wished they could cry with joy.
Just like that, the action sped up a lot.
But because they were about to dock, the ice had begun to melt in some places.
Looking at some places behind them that were already covered with lake water, their hearts couldn't help but sink.
Fortunately, Zhang Long and Li Yi were already ashore at this time.
Not caring about anything else, the two of them clung to the rope tightly so that they could catch them up after they fell.
As the lake began to spread, the mud-like thing also sped up and followed Wang Shengli closely behind, reaching out to catch him.
"Wang Shengli, hurry up."
Zhang Long and Li Yi were really worried, fearing that they would go down.
Fortunately, Liu Yi and Ouyang Xiu also came up, leaving Wang Shengli alone.
Looking at the mud-like thing behind him, Wang Shengli was almost exposed.
