Komatsu's Love Defense

In this strange world of vines intertwined in the sky, the oxygen concentration gradually became thinner, as if every breath was competing for the limited life. I held the oxygen bottle and took deep breaths as I walked, trying to relieve the gradually worsening feeling of suffocation, and my steps became heavy and slow.

A Lu seemed to notice my abnormality. He stopped and showed a trace of worry on his face: "Are you feeling cold, Xiaosong?"

I took a deep breath of oxygen, trying to steady my breathing, then nodded slightly and forced a smile: "Fortunately... compared to the ice hell, this is nothing. Just in case, I even brought a fire tights."

A Lu took out a piece of chocolate from his schoolbag and handed it to me: "I see, you are so strong. Come, have some chocolate! Once the oxygen becomes thin, the body's digestive function will weaken. Foods like chocolate, which are small in quantity but can provide a lot of energy, are the most suitable."

I took the chocolate and looked at A'lu's sincere eyes, and a warm current suddenly surged in my heart. I peeled off the wrapper and put the chocolate in my mouth. The sweet taste quickly melted on the tip of my tongue, as if it also brought a touch of warm comfort to my tired heart.

"Come on, Xiaosong! The journey ahead is still long, let us muster up our energy and charge forward." A'lu looked at the unknown area covered by vines ahead, his tone full of determination.

I nodded gently, and my eyes met with A'lu's firmly. We didn't say anything, but the same determination was revealed in each other's eyes. No matter what difficulties and challenges are waiting for us ahead, we must face them together and overcome them together.

So we continued to climb the vine that seemed out of reach. The vine was winding, sometimes steep, sometimes gentle. The two of us cooperated tacitly, one pulling hard while the other climbed steadily.

However, the journey was not always smooth, but full of uncertainties. Suddenly, a strong wind came, mixed with hail and heavy rain, hitting us like dense arrows, making it almost impossible for us to open our eyes.

The vines swayed in the wind and rain, and we held on tightly, fearing that we would be blown off if we were not careful. But even in such bad weather, we did not retreat at all, but supported each other and moved forward with difficulty.

What's even more thrilling is that every step along the way is thrilling! Various ferocious beasts are lurking among us like ghosts, each of them has a hideous face and keeps making low roars from their mouths, as if they are declaring their sovereignty to us.

However, facing such danger, Alu and I did not retreat. We mustered our courage and used our intelligence to deal with it. Finally, we successfully avoided the deadly attacks again and again and continued to climb towards the top of the vine.

When A Lu and I climbed to an altitude of 6000 meters, we had exhausted all our strength. The air around us was so thin that it was almost suffocating, and every breath seemed to burn the last bit of energy in our lungs.

Exhausted, we had no choice but to stop and decide to set up camp, rest for a night, and set off again tomorrow.

The night in the sky is so peaceful and profound. We are in the clouds, and the bright stars are like countless sparkling gems, dotted on the dark sky, beautiful and intoxicating.

I looked up at the vast starry sky, and an indescribable joy surged in my heart: "How beautiful! The sky is already full of stars!"

Ah Lu sat on the vines, his eyes deep and focused: "Without the obstruction, I can see clearly."

However, just as I was immersed in this beauty, a sudden headache came over me. The pain was like a sharp blade, piercing my head fiercely, making it almost unbearable for me.

At the same time, a piercing tinnitus sounded. The sound was sharp and piercing, like countless mosquitoes buzzing in my ears.

I covered my ears, trying to block out the annoying noise, but the headache and tinnitus became worse. I frowned in pain, and sweat slid down my forehead and wet my cheeks.

A Lu noticed something was wrong with me and immediately asked me about my situation with concern: "What's wrong with you, Xiaosong?"

I forced a smile, trying to hide my pain: "No... nothing, just a slight headache..."

"Is it a symptom of altitude sickness? Is it very painful?" A'lu's voice was full of worry.

I rubbed my forehead, and the headache seemed to have eased a lot: "Fortunately...it doesn't hurt that badly..."

A Lu nodded. He knew that I couldn't push myself too hard at this time. "Is that so... take a rest today, Xiao Song."

I nodded gently in response to A'lu's concern. I began to quietly pack my bag and put the necessities in order so that I could set off quickly tomorrow.

The moment I walked into the tent, I felt like I had entered a small world that was isolated from the world. The tent was dark and quiet, with only the sound of my own breathing echoing. I lay in the soft sleeping bag, feeling this rare tranquility and comfort.

As for A'lu, he sat quietly on the vine, looking up at the sky, his back looking particularly tall in the night.
