It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

At that moment, Xiao Huai ran towards Lu Yuan without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

In this hug, all the coldness was dispelled.

His hug was so warm and firm that Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment.

He was still feeling some pain from the fall, but at that moment, all the pain disappeared and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

He didn't know where to put his hands. Should he put them on Xiao Huai's waist?

But that would be weird.

He hesitated, his breathing quickening, fearing that such an action would make Xiao Huai angry.

His mind was in a mess and his fingers were trembling. He finally mustered up the courage and was about to put his hand gently on Xiao Huai's waist when Xiao Huai suddenly spoke.

"Did it hurt when you fell?" Xiao Huai's voice was full of concern. As he spoke, he let go of Lu Yuanshi.

He looked at Lu Yuanshi carefully, as if to confirm whether he was seriously injured.

The moment Lu Yuanshi was released, a flash of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He lowered his gaze, but soon shook his head and said softly:

"It doesn't hurt."

Xiao Huai stared at him for a few seconds, revealing a meaningful smile. There was a hint of cunning in that smile, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "What about just now?"

Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in confusion and looked at Xiao Huai, "Just now? What just now?"

Xiao Huai did not answer, but approached Lu Yuan again.

She raised her head and leaned close to his ear. Her breath gently brushed against Lu Yuanshi's ear, and her voice was low and vague:

"Did you want to touch me just now?"

The whisper seemed to carry magic, causing Lu Yuanshi to freeze instantly.

His ears suddenly felt like they were on fire and quickly turned red. He took several steps back in panic, denying it repeatedly, his voice stammering, "No! No!"

Seeing Lu Yuanshi's embarrassed look, Xiao Huai couldn't help laughing. His laughter was clear but a bit mischievous, like a child who had succeeded in playing a trick.

When he looked at Lu Yuan, his smile faded and he whispered softly:

"As long as you're okay."

When he no longer intended to tease Lu Yuan, he turned his gaze to his surroundings.

Those zombies seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi, and did not attack them.

They just gathered together and gnawed on the advance team members who had already lost their lives in the fall. The sound of tearing flesh and blood seemed particularly harsh in the silent ice field.

Why was Lu Yuanshi able to walk out of these monsters safely?

Why did these monsters turn a blind eye to the two of them?

If they didn't attack Lu Yuan, it was because he was in a semi-infected state.

What about me? Why?

Not long after, these zombies seemed to suddenly sense something and began to flee in all directions frantically. The air seemed to be filled with some kind of aura that frightened them.

This scene is like the law of the animal world. When a powerful predator steps into the grassland, all the herbivores will smell the scent before the danger comes and flee in panic.

Xiao Huai looked at this scene and frowned slightly.

On the first day of the game, he had already calculated thousands of possibilities in his mind, but the current situation happened to be the one with the least possibility.

Fate always likes to take unexpected turns and move in unpredictable directions.

When Xiao Huai turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, his voice was low: "Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid." Lu Yuanshi answered without hesitation.

Xiao Huai smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, and his palm hovered slightly in the air, as if waiting for something.

Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, looking at the hand, then he reached out and gently shook his hand back.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and looked at their clasped hands. The warmth from their fingertips was transmitted to him, dispelling some of the coldness.

He murmured softly, "It's hard to bear to see you like this."

The sound was so soft that it was almost swallowed by the wind, and Lu Yuanshi did not hear it clearly.

He took a step forward, approached Xiao Huai, and asked as if he didn't want to miss any of his words:

"What did you just say?"

Xiao Huai raised his head, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head, "I say, if I am a person who is afraid of death, would you think I am a coward?"

When Lu Yuanshi heard this, he immediately shook his head and said firmly:

"Why do you think you're a coward? Anyone who has something to cherish is afraid of death. Those who don't fear death simply have nothing left to cherish."

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking, as if the softest part of his heart had been touched. He hummed softly, but soon he looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously again: "So you are not afraid of death, so there is nothing worth cherishing?"

Lu Yuanshi smiled, his smile full of the carefreeness of a young man. "That's different. I'm not afraid of death, purely because I'm reckless. Also, I say I'm not afraid, but if I really were to die one day, I would definitely be afraid."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had said so many heartfelt words in one breath.

It's like admitting that I'm a wimp pretending to be cool.

He immediately scratched his head awkwardly, "Ahem, what I mean is that some people's words are trustworthy, while others are not, so you have to be careful of scams."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai's brows relaxed and he couldn't help but want to laugh again.

The Lu Yuanshi in this world seems particularly real and vivid.

He held Lu Yuanshi's hand tightly and said, "If there comes a day like that, I would hope that it is me who dies, not you."

Once, Lu Yuanshi said something similar to himself.

I hope it's me, not you.

They both hope that tragedy will not befall the one they love.

But does fate really allow it?

"No." Suddenly, Lu Yuanshi's expression became serious and he stopped. He just held Xiao Huai's hand and stared straight into his eyes. "You are more timid than me. I will handle this kind of thing by myself. Don't let it get to you."

The snow falls silently, and the most straightforward words are also the most passionate confession.

The warmth of language allows love to take root and sprout even in the coldest places.

No one wants to give in, and everyone loves each other deep in their souls.

……

The three teams finally succeeded in finding the huge tumor.

The thing stood before them in shock, its surface covered with crimson veins.

Layers of wrinkles and sticky tissues kept trembling, sometimes bulging, sometimes contracting, as if there was life moving through them.

Its deep color looked particularly hideous under the cold light of the ice field, like a huge, disgusting heart beating silently.

There were corpses everywhere around the tumor.

Some of the corpses were already in tatters, with broken limbs and fragments scattered in the ice and snow, staining the surrounding snow red; some still had their heads or torsos left, but they were bitten beyond recognition by the wandering zombies.

Along the way, the three teams experienced numerous dangers and faced a large number of living dead.

They had to use firepower frequently to repel all these terrible monsters.

One member couldn't help but complain: "I can't believe there are still living dead in this extremely cold place. It's really weird! I don't know when these damn things will completely disappear."

His tone was full of disgust and helplessness.

A member of the team carefully took out the potion that Su Haoqian gave them, which was a tube of transparent liquid.

They took a deep breath, inserted the needle into the huge tumor, and injected the medicine into it.

However, something shocking happened immediately afterwards, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
