After escaping the maze set up by the "Dead Sea Gate", it stands to reason that the next step is to head to the nearest research station or camp.
However, Chu Yanran had no such plan, and she chose a path that was contrary to survival.
Ye Xin looked at the camp in the south that had begun to take shape and asked Chu Yanran: "Don't we go to the camp first?"
Chu Yanran: "No, I want to confirm first whether the impact has occurred..."
Shock?
As soon as Ye Xin heard this word, he felt uncomfortable.
The two of them walked forward in silence, heading east for about ten kilometers.
The road ahead was gradually covered with ice and snow, but strangely, Ye Xin did not feel the deadly cold in the polar regions.
Even the wind blowing on the face is gentle.
"You should be able to see it after climbing over the mountain in front." Chu Yanran's voice was a little low.
Ye Xin raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
I saw that the originally blue sky seemed to be polluted in front of this mountain, turning into a dark black gray. The wind also became calm here, and the free and carefree appearance before was completely gone.
All signs seem to indicate that there are some amazing scenes hidden behind the mountains.
So Ye Xin quickened his pace, and the two of them reached the top of the mountain before sunset.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, Ye Xin did not immediately see the scene behind the mountain, but even so, looking to the east from here, he could already see the abnormality in the sky.
The wind stopped here, and apart from his own breathing, the only sound left was Chu Yanran's footsteps beside him.
The clouds in the sky were slowly rotating in rings, and the empty spaces were neither gray nor blue, but an extremely unsettling bright red.
Ye Xin glanced at Chu Yanran, whose eyes were red, and asked: "Are you okay..."
Chu Yanran shook her head, she walked forward slowly, and then stood still on the cliff.
Ye Xin also followed, and then he saw a desperate scene that he would never forget...
I saw that on the east side of this 300-meter-high mountain, the pure white plain that should have been made of ice and snow now seemed to have turned into an inkstone.
Scattered on the pitch-black ground were several whale carcasses that should have been active in the deep sea...
They were stranded on this black ice sheet and had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
Looking beyond these whales and looking further away, in the center of the impact, a pale giant who is incompatible with the black earth is kneeling there. He has no head, and his left hand is broken off to the side. Where the heart is exposed, a red heart is eye-catching.
Very.
Beside the giant, in places that cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye, thousands of human corpses are frozen at the moment of death. They seem to be struggling, and everyone's face is full of fear and desire to survive, but they all
There was no way to escape this impact.
The sight in front of him reminded Ye Xin of an existence that once brought nightmares to all mankind...the central curtain!
Are factors related to the central veil?
Ye Xin thinks it is very possible, but as for what kind of connection there is, Ye Xin still needs to explore it bit by bit.
After calming down a little, Ye Xin was planning to ask Chu Yanran about her next plan.
It turned out that Chu Yanran was crying.
Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the tears in her eyes could not stop falling. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying.
Seeing her sad look, Ye Xin could probably imagine that she must have known about the impact... and that the impact took away the most cherished part of her life...
"Cry out, there is no such thing here
If there are others, it will feel better if you cry..." Ye Xin is not very good at comforting others, but he also knows that trying to suppress sadness is extremely painful.
Chu Yanran's original restraint finally collapsed when she heard these words.
She fell down and let out a heart-shaking cry. At that moment, it seemed that the whole world no longer belonged to her, and all happiness and joy had abandoned her...
Ye Xin looked into the distance wordlessly and secretly clenched his fists.
…
At night.
Ye Xin used the antimatter material in the exoskeleton to light the stones and build a special bonfire.
Chu Yanran cried for a long time, and she didn't stop until she had no strength left.
Now she fell asleep in Ye Xin's arms, and her breathing became more even.
Ye Xin hugged her and looked at the night sky.
You can't see the stars from here, but unexpectedly, the oppressive grayness during the day has gone away, and the bright red sky is filled with colorful lights, which looks extremely gorgeous.
but……
Although Ye Xin didn't know much about the earth, he still knew the basics of day and night.
Logically speaking, since we are in Antarctica, it should be either polar day or polar night. How could there be such a clear change between day and night?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Xin suddenly heard a long voice that sounded like a call.
The sound was a bit abrupt, and Ye Xin was startled.
He first checked the surrounding environment and made sure there was nothing abnormal, then he put Chu Yanran aside, then got up and followed the sound to the edge of the cliff.
As a result, a shocking scene appeared.
I saw that the dark ice field I saw during the day turned into a deep blue sea at this moment.
Those stranded whales were wandering in this empty plain surrounded by mountains, and that long sound was made by them.
The phantom-like scene made Ye Xin once think that everything he saw was an illusion.
But after he changed the vision module several times, the results showed that all this was real and happening.
this……
What is going on? Is it possible that the sea can appear out of thin air on this plain?
Looking further away, Ye Xin found it even more difficult to understand.
I saw that the headless white giant I saw during the day was walking into the distance at this moment. His speed was very slow. If you didn't observe carefully, you would have thought that he just stood up.
And beside him, in the sea water, the human corpses that struggled to escape during the day now turned into existences like schools of fish. They surrounded the giant like a white ring.
The more Ye Xin looked at it, the more strange and strange it became.
He turned around, intending to wake up Chu Yanran and ask for details. However, he suddenly found that there was an extra child beside Chu Yanran at some point.
He appeared silently and was kneeling next to Chu Yanran, placing his right hand on her forehead with a quiet smile on his face.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xin immediately dropped his mask and at the same time opened the destruction device on his arm.
"Who are you!"
The little boy replied softly: "My name is Luo Baoer."
Luo Baoer? A name I have never heard of...
"Luo Bao'er... hum, now, stand up, raise your hands, and stand aside!"
Luo Baoer was startled when he heard this, and then laughed: "That's not possible, she is sick. If I don't save her, she might just die..."
Ye Xin was doubtful, and then confirmed that Luo Baoer's words were true through the inspection of the vision module.
Chu Yanran's body temperature has been lower than normal, and her heart rate is only less than 40...
found this
After clicking, Ye Xin rushed over immediately.
"Step aside."
Luo Baoer smiled slightly but did not stop him.
He stood aside and watched as Ye Xin turned on the emergency life-support device of the exoskeleton and began to treat Chu Yanran.
After about ten minutes, Chu Yanran's body temperature began to rise and her heart rate returned to normal. Only then did Ye Xin let out a sigh of relief.
Luo Baoer walked to the edge of the cliff. With his back to Ye Xin, he was watching the scenes in the distance with great interest.
Ye Xin was still wary of the sudden appearance of Luo Baoer. After all, there was no way that a little boy wearing such thin clothes could get here bypassing the detective sentries that Ye Xin was preventing.
"Who are you..." Ye Xin asked.
Luo Baoer smiled and replied: "My name is Luo Baoer."
"I didn't ask your name."
Luo Baoer turned around: "My name is Luo Baoer, an ordinary person."
Ye Xin smiled and sneered when he heard this.
"Come here, this place is not a playground. How can you, a child, show up here?"
Luo Baoer paused for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed: "You're right, this is not a playground..."
After saying that, he turned around again and said no more.
The more Ye Xin looked at it, the weirder he felt. He began to hesitate whether to continue talking to this guy of unknown origin or to take Chu Yanran down the mountain to a safe place.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea appeared, Luo Baoer seemed to see through him.
"It will be very dangerous to go down the mountain now. You should wait until daybreak before leaving."
Ye Xin was shocked and thought to himself: 'Could this guy be able to read minds?'
"I can't read minds, but I can see your uneasiness, but don't worry, I won't hurt you, and there is no reason to do so, but this world is not necessarily the same."
Uh... He also said he can't read minds...
Ye Xin looked at the little kid's back and felt like he was being teased and looked down upon.
He asked again: "Then can you tell me what happened here?"
Luo Baoer turned around and asked, "Do you want to listen to me, or go and see for yourself?"
Ye Xin was startled. He didn't expect this Luo Bao'er to tell him the truth. After all, he didn't know this guy at all, and his question was just a test.
But now the result is a bit surprising.
"Is there any choice?"
Luo Baoer smiled slightly: "You and I are destined, so naturally we can't wait any longer."
Ye Xin was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smiled: "Well, why don't you take me to see it together, so if I miss something, you can explain it to me, how about it?"
After hearing this, Luo Baoer's smile faded and he stopped talking.
Ye Xin was not in a hurry. Although he was very curious about the truth, he would never allow himself to be fooled.
Luo Baoer nodded after a long silence: "Okay, but there are only three hours until sunrise, so we have to hurry."
Um?
What does this sunrise have to do with anything?
Just as he was wondering, Ye Xin suddenly felt the world around him retreat rapidly.
It's like he got on a train, and now, the train has started, and he is heading to an unknown distance...
…
"Seal down the laboratory immediately and no one is allowed to leave! At the same time, turn off all recording equipment, retrieve all information sent to the outside world in this area, and ensure that what happens here cannot be known to the outside world!"
This is what Ye Xin heard when he arrived at the first stop.
He was sitting in the crowd, still confused, when he saw a man suddenly stand up and give orders loudly.
