top edge

Hang four empty tin buckets on the sides of the off-road bike and check the remaining mileage on the battery.

After finishing all this, Kreit straddled his legs and stepped onto the off-road motorcycle, and the seat behind him that should have been vacant was immediately occupied by Malken.

"I'm going too." Malken held on to the rear of the car firmly, for fear that Kreit would drag him down.

"You're wasting my electricity." Kreiter slightly tilted his chin, looking at Malken behind him.

The greater the weight and the greater the power, the faster the battery of the motorcycle will naturally be drained.

"Perhaps," Malcolm said boldly, "you could bring back less ice."

The underground city lacks water resources and needs to transport ice to the northern ice sheet.The four tin buckets are exactly the water consumption of Krete's life for a month, and he doesn't want to disrupt his fixed plan because of Malcolm.

But this time, Malken came aggressively, as if he would not give up unless he was persuaded. In the end, Kreit was too lazy to talk nonsense and started the off-road motorcycle.

Although the weather was hot during the day, there were fewer distortion monsters. Crater drove along the safe route at high speed. About three hours later, ice balls gradually appeared in the soil, and the surrounding weather became obviously colder—the two entered ice sheet.

The cold wind whizzed by, making Malken shiver. He wrapped his leather coat tightly and asked with chattering teeth, "Boss, are you not cold?"

Kreit, like Malken, was only wearing a UV-resistant jacket, which had no effect on keeping out the cold.

"It's not cold." He spit out these two words casually, and accelerated the speed of the motorcycle.

When a stronger cold wind blew, Malken cursed a curse word.

After walking for another half an hour, the two came to a resting point.

The Rest Point is a narrow log cabin built by a group of adventure enthusiasts.

Although the weather on the ice sheet is extremely harsh, fortunately there are no distortion monsters, so for those adventure lovers, crossing the ice sheet is the best way to explore.

The resting point where Kreiter and Malken are located is located at the edge of the ice sheet, close to the western desert, and deep in the ice sheet, there are many such resting points for explorers to rest temporarily.

After parking the off-road motorcycle, Kreit took the shovel and spent more than ten minutes filling the empty tin bucket.

On the other side, Malken had already taken off his clothes numbly and jumped into the hot spring next to the resting point.

——It is not surprising that there are volcanoes and hot springs under the ice sheet.

"Boss, stop shoveling, come and soak for a while!"

No one will come to the ice field without taking a hot spring.

Clayte put the four tin buckets back on both sides of the off-road motorcycle, then took off his clothes and stepped into the hot spring.

"Are you really not going to help?" Malcolm asked.

"Yeah." Kleite rested his head on the edge of the pool and closed his eyes lazily.

"But Nightingale really needs you." Malken said unwillingly, "Only you can do this."

Claire: "Quiet."

My boss had already spoken, so Malken had no choice but to keep silent.

But within 5 minutes, he couldn't help muttering again: "If you don't want to help, how can I explain to Ledger?"

Crater still didn't bother to talk.

"He is a very nice person, takes good care of his brother, does everything by himself, and has no airs at all." Malken said to himself, "You will know if you get in touch with him more, he is definitely worth your help. "

Malcolm has always talked a lot, but it is rare to praise someone so unscrupulously.

Kreit finally raised his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at Malken: "You admire him?"

Malcolm didn't deny it: "People in Nightingale appreciate him very much."

"No." Crater said bluntly, "I mean something else."

Malken naturally understood the subtext in the words, and immediately denied: "I have no other thoughts, don't slander our pure friendship!"

Clayton smiled lightly and stopped talking.

I don't know why I feel guilty, and Malken added: "I also appreciate the negotiator. If he hadn't informed us of the bombing in advance, I don't know what would have happened."

The smile on the corner of Crater's mouth visibly disappeared.

Knowing that he shouldn't bring this up, Malken touched the tip of his nose embarrassingly, and said, "I don't know how he is..."

When taking the vertical train to the bottom of the tree of life, Shen Siwei found many civilians gathered in the lobby of the central station.

Most of these civilians stretched their necks to look outside the station. Wei Shen followed their line of sight to look out, and saw many policemen maintaining order outside the grand glass gate.

"Nightingale is messing up again, it's really endless."

"There would be no tree of life without the Maggots. Why don't they have a grateful heart?"

In the past few days after waking up, Shen Siwei made up for the current situation of the tree of life.

First of all, because five years ago, many civilians were sacrificed in order to drive away the abnormal monsters, so the "Declaration on Rejection of Reproduction" was temporarily invalidated, and the government allowed newborns to be born.

The second is the new organization Nightingale, dressed in a peaceful cloak, but in fact it is no different from the terrorist organization Nightingale.

Hearing the chatting of the two people beside him, they gathered in the station hall this time because Nightingale was protesting outside the station and clashed with the police.

Ordinary civilians were afraid of being affected innocently, so they hid in the station, and wanted to wait until it was safe outside before going out.

"Conspiracy theories all day long will only add to our chaos."

"I don't know when the trouble will last."

When the two men were talking, Shen Si Wei stood very close to them.

One of them was talking, and suddenly found that Wei Shen was listening, and subconsciously took a small step in the opposite direction.

The other person followed the man's gaze and looked back. After seeing Wei Shen, he also moved away and kept a distance from Wei Shen.

Shen Siwei didn't think he had a vicious look, but he also knew very well that he was indeed a bit out of tune with the civilians gathered here.

Chestnut hair is not uncommon, and it looks quite friendly, but the dark green eyes always make people shudder - these evaluations come from the sparring partner.

Coupled with the aviator jacket and professional equipment backpack, Shen Siwei is not an ordinary person at first glance.

He walked out of the hall through the crowd, and found that the police had maintained order, and no one who was suspected of being a Nightingale member was seen.

He'd figured he wouldn't mind helping out if the police couldn't handle it, but it didn't look like he was going to be useful here.

Calling up the map, Shen Siwei went straight to the parking lot, where a dual-purpose heavy motorcycle specially prepared for him was parked.

In an alley 200 meters away.

Ledger tore off the Nightingale scarf with one hand, and patted Nok on the head with the other: "How many times have I said, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! Don't conflict with the police! Today's goal is to protest peacefully!"

"I'm in a bad mood today," Nock frowned and dodged to the side, "The police must call me."

"Are you still in a bad mood, brat?"

"Who asked you to arrange my brother to do that kind of task."

"Did I arrange it?" Leger almost vomited blood out of breath, "That's Elvis going by himself, what can I do? You two brothers are more worried than the other!"

Five years have passed, and the former little boy Nock has grown up and become a backbone member of Nightingale.

But he was still too young after all, and he was always doing things that gave Ledger a headache.However, Avis, the only one who could control him, was not by his side, and Ledger took Nock to act, like one head and two big ones.

"Then you should stop him." Nok muttered.

"Well, it's all my fault."

Leger was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned around and left, without seeing a chestnut-haired figure riding a motorcycle flash past on the street.

After leaving the bustling urban area, Shen Siwei turned his motorcycle into flight mode, and then flew towards the west at low altitude.

Amor's positioning signal finally disappeared in a self-service hotel in Z City in the West District. If Adolf said that he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, then he went to the West District to find an identity trafficker and remove his location.

But in any case, there must still be risks in dealing with criminals.

Lieutenant Shen Si couldn't help but unscrew the accelerator and speed up the flight.

Near noon, Captain Shen Si crossed the defensive barrier between City Z and neighboring cities, and entered this deserted city.

Even though he had seen the scene here in the news, when the Martin boots stepped on the gravel-filled street, Shen Siwei still had complicated emotions in his heart.

regret?Sigh?

He couldn't tell the specifics, he just felt that the self-service hotel in front of him was inexplicably familiar.

During the day, there were no refugee activities on the street, and the deserted self-service hotel was even more empty.

The stone slabs and gravel almost blocked the hotel's door, and Shen Siwei entered the hotel lobby through the narrow gap.

The screen of the self-service check-in machine was smashed by the falling ceiling, leaving only the outer frame standing there.

Shen Siwei casually glanced at the outer frame, and didn't pay much attention to it at first, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the broken check-in machine in a daze, and always felt as if someone had just leaned there and talked to him casually.

who can that be?

Shen Siwei really couldn't remember, so he put his mind away and continued to walk inside.

Thick dust accumulated on the floor tiles of the hall, and countless messy footprints could be seen.

Shen Siwei squatted down to observe the pattern of the footprints, and found that these footprints belonged to military boots.

—Has an action team already arrived?

Mo Lin didn't tell Wei Shen Si, but it's not surprising that military boots appeared.Maybe someone has come to look for Amor, but they just haven't found it.

The footprints went all the way to the stairs, and finally reached the third floor, where they became more chaotic, and it was almost impossible to find a complete footprint.

The wall of the aisle was full of bullet holes, which confirmed Wei Shen's conjecture—there was indeed an action team here, and something must have happened here, which made the members of the action team very flustered.

Shen Siwei walked into a room with an open door along the panicked footprints, and found that there were nutrient packaging bags, used wet wipes, etc. in the room, and there was not much dust on these items, which indicated that someone had stayed here recently. Pass.

Most people seldom use such expensive wet wipes. Obviously, this person can only be Amor.

But at this moment, Wei Shen suddenly noticed something.

All the footprints were facing the same direction, indicating that these people did not leave the main entrance after arriving at the hotel.

He went to the window and looked, only to see countless footprints on the window sill, and outside the window was a high pile of gravel, jumping from the third floor would not hurt.

Shen Siwei roughly pieced together what happened at that time.

Amor should have arranged for an identity trafficker to meet here, and eliminated the location on the identity chip through illegal means.At this time, members of the action team followed, so he could only hurriedly leave through the window.

The members of the action team traced to the third floor according to the location, but suddenly encountered some kind of emergency, so they had to evacuate through the window.

—but what emergencies are to be encountered here?

Shen Si Wei put this matter aside for the time being, because he saw a leather-bound diary left behind beside the bed.

Most of the diary has been written, and Shen Siwei casually picked it up, and a map of the ice field fell out of the notebook, and the latest page read: Go to the ice field tomorrow.

Shen Siwei was really puzzled, why did sociologists go to the ice field?There is no society there.

But since the clue points there, he can only go and see.

At this time, Shen Siwei suddenly heard a "hissing" sound, and after he turned around, he finally knew what kind of emergency the action team had encountered.

I saw a distorted python appearing outside the door, its head alone was as wide as the door frame.

Two gloomy eyes stared straight at Shen Siwei, and the scarlet snake letter kept spitting out a dangerous breath.

Lieutenant Shen Si didn't want to waste time here, but just as his heel moved a centimeter, the giant python flew over and sprayed a lot of sticky venom at him.

The venom got on the diary and instantly corroded the cover. Shen Siwei hurriedly patted off the venom with his hands so as not to corrode the contents inside again.

And when he was distracted, his whole body was entangled by the giant python, and the huge snake head was just above it, and it was about to swallow him into its stomach.

But Shen Siwei didn't panic at all.

He directly grabbed the snake letter and pulled it out abruptly. The giant python rolled on the ground in pain, and left the room in disgrace.

The strengthened body is really useful.

It's just... the clothes and pants were burnt with a lot of holes by the venom.

Sure enough, there was no water in the hotel room, so Wei Shen could only simply wipe his body with the dirty sheet, and changed into spare clothes.

The outer wall defense of City Z has been dilapidated, so it is no wonder that distortion monsters are always rampant in the city.

Other cities have flight speed limits. Shen Siwei didn't want to pass by the city, so he simply came directly from Z City to the outside of the tree of life, turned on the maximum power of the motorcycle, and headed towards the northern ice field at high speed.

Looking around, the boundless desert stretches to the horizon at the end of the line of sight. Occasionally, the sound of "rumbling" comes from below, and the desert of several square kilometers collapses downward, and the huge vortex looks like the gate of the abyss.

Watching the magnificent sand sinking scene from the air, Shen Siwei couldn't help feeling the danger outside the tree of life.

After an unknown amount of time, a white mountain range finally appeared in front of the line of sight, reflecting the dazzling and scorching sun.Although it seemed that the distance was only a few kilometers away, Captain Shen Si flew for a long time before finally approaching the edge of the ice sheet.

Compared with the heat, Shen Siwei was even more unacceptable to the cold.

His skin doesn't actually get frostbite or burns, but he just hates the cold.

The map showed that there was a rest spot not far away, and Wei Shen decided to go there to rest.He had only cleaned up the mucus with a dirty sheet just now, and he was still very uncomfortable.

After getting closer, Shen Siwei discovered that there was a hot spring next to the resting point, which was simply a gift prepared for him.

Parking the motorcycle next to the cabin, Shen Siwei took a rough look around, but there was no one else in the cabin.

After all, ice field exploration is a dangerous activity, and not everyone can come at any time, so it is normal for the rest spots to be empty.

He took off his shirt, first wiped off the remaining mucus on his body with ice slag, then stripped off his clothes, and stepped into the hot spring with moderate water temperature.

Since waking up, it was difficult for Wei Shen to have mood swings, but now he clearly felt that he was very happy.

Gentle hot water wraps the body, as soft as a mother's embrace.

Shen Siwei closed his eyes and enjoyed it to his heart's content, but at this moment, a sense of déjà vu appeared in his mind inexplicably.

——The last time he took a hot spring, there seemed to be someone else beside him.And he always has a feeling that he seems to have a hobby of taking a bath.

This is not quite right.

Shen Siwei suddenly opened his eyes, his cold green pupils stared blankly at the boundless ice field.

The familiar sense of déjà vu appears again and again, which can no longer be explained by illusion.

Character files, beef and nutritional supplements, self-service hotels, hot springs... These things seemed to exist in Shen Siwei's memory, and also seemed to exist in his dreams. He tried hard to catch them, but felt that the memory seemed to be broken. The unlined kite floated to a place out of his reach.

Could it be that something went wrong during the transformation?

Just ask Maureen.

Shen Siwei raised his right hand from the water, intending to wake up the communicator, but at this moment, he suddenly heard soft footsteps behind him.

Even a cat that walks very lightly can't walk silently on ice.

What's more, Shen Siwei clearly noticed that there should be two men standing behind him, and they were not light in weight.

The sound of footsteps was already behind him, Shen Siwei quickly picked up the gun placed by the pool, and turned around quickly to point at the two people who were approaching secretly.

The hot spring made a "squeaky" sound of water, and there was a fierce water wave, and when the water wave stopped, there was only the sound of someone sniffing.

Shen Siwei frowned vigilantly, and saw that there were indeed two big men standing behind him, one of them was holding his hands under his armpits, sniffing his nose continuously, it seemed that he was choking with the cold.

The other person was only wearing a thin coat, he didn't seem to feel the cold at all, his eyes were fixed on Shen Siwei's face.

At this moment, the character file appeared in Shen Siwei's mind.

Kreiter, unknown age, 1.9 meters five, the most wanted criminal...

Seeing the real person now, Shen Siwei realized that the height of 1.9 meters [-] seems to be more oppressive than it looks in the picture.

and many more.

Shen Siwei's eyes froze slightly, why did he always feel that he had this kind of thought before?

Clayte, who was standing by the pool, frowned and asked uncertainly, "Ivan?"

Hearing this name, Shen Siwei's brain was disconnected for a moment.He quickly came to his senses, pointed a gun at Kreiter, and asked suspiciously, "Who is Ivan?"
