Looking closer, Tsukizakura realized that this level is actually very high, about four or five stories long, but because in the middle of the valley, there are dwarf cliffs on both sides, so it doesn't look very conspicuous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no one around, none of the soldiers except Jairo had come down, and everything seemed so quiet, like an uninhabited cemetery.

But it has nothing to do with him.

The wrench on the side had already affectionately grabbed the shoulder of Private Jero, and the speed of progress made Sheila a little staggered, and the catalyst for this relationship was just an inconspicuous pack of cigarettes.

"That guy actually likes men, right?" Lin Mingfeng said.

"I think so. Sheila nodded.

Verus had contacted Jairo beforehand, and the soldier took them directly to a conference room at the checkpoint, and after indicating that he was free to do so, he left with the cigarette he had been given by a wrench.

?

After everyone was seated, Verus took out some documents from somewhere, and instead of distributing them, they separated in front of him.

"So, let me first explain the specifics of this mission. First of all, it was Mr. Marlos who, for some reason, needed to go to the Ice City Fortress, which was about a hundred kilometers away from here, which was not far, but because of the high degree of danger along the way, he needed to be guarded. He nodded at Tsukizakura and the others, "That's you." ”

"Really simple and straightforward instructions. The wrench said.

Verus ignored him and continued, "Although I don't trust your strength, for Miss Hakufeather's sake, I admit that you have a little ability......"

"Is this a disguised recognition of us?" Lin Mingfeng whispered.

"He's a bit awkward. Sheila bit her lower lip.

Verus silently took out a folded piece of paper and threw it in front of Sheila, "This is a map along the way, don't get lost." ”

Sheila opened it and gave it to Alice. "What else?"

"I'm not familiar with the terrain here, but I'll try to explain it to you. First of all, what about the name of the place you're going to cross?"

"Frost Plains. Sheila said.

"Yes, Frost, as the name suggests...... It's a colder place than Silskar, and I can tell you straight about the possibility of freezing to death on this mission. Verus knocked on the table, "It's going to be a hassle if you die, so don't give me any trouble, understand?"

The wrench couldn't help but laugh and passed a note to Tsukizakura with the word "tsundere" written on it - but before Tsukizakura could figure it out, a person with a more fiery temper seemed to be unable to bear it.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lin Mingfeng stood up, his eyes were round, and he raised his middle finger at Verus, "You look down on us and say it directly!

In the face of Lin Mingfeng's questioning, Verus just tidied up his suit by himself, and his indifferent attitude completely angered Lin Mingfeng, but just when he was about to explode, Verus's thin lips spit out a sentence: "Could it be that you...... Very strong?"

Lin Mingfeng was speechless, he looked at Yue Ying and gritted his teeth.

"The weak ones just have to be obedient and don't yell there. Verus held his head high, his grayish-brown eyes showing utter contempt, "It will only expose your ignorance." ”

"That's enough, you can't talk about him. Sheila stood up, "You've said enough, right? ”

Verus glared coldly at Sheila and snapped his fingers.

The door to the conference room opened, and everyone looked to see that Jairo had returned without knowing when, and behind him were several soldiers with a few backpacks.

"According to your orders, here are most of the necessary supplies for crossing the snowfield~" Five backpacks, one of which is significantly larger, "As for the clothes, please go downstairs to change." ”

"Do you want to change your clothes?" asked Tsukizakura.

"If you want to walk in the snow in this thing now, I won't stop you. Verus said as he looked at the leather coat Tsukizakura was wearing.

"But it's not cold, huh?"

"If you are told to change it, you can change it. Sheila reminded helplessly.

Yueying sighed and stopped talking.

?

It's said to be a place to change clothes, but it's actually just a room with curtains, it seems to have been a soldier's dormitory before, and there are still untorn posters on the stained walls, and if you look closely, it's a revealing cover girl.

This room is for men, and the next one is reserved for the only female ** Lisi, at first the wrench wanted to peep, but because of Lin Mingfeng's obstruction, he had to give up, so the wrench read Lin Mingfeng for a while.

"Marilian, good taste!" the wrench tore off the rest of the poster, "Although it was a few years ago, her figure is amazing!"

"Don't be in heat there, hurry up and finish changing and leaving. Lin Mingfeng's face darkened, "It stinks here." ”

Tsukizakura sniffed, "It's okay, it's clean." ”

"I'm not talking about smells, I'm talking about feelings!" Lin Mingfeng roared.

"What, do you still feel like you're an elementary school student?"

Seeing that the wrench and Lin Mingfeng were about to quarrel again, Yue Ying stood a little farther away silently.

Although it is the captain's job to stop conflicts between the team members, after trying it once, she found that these two people would not listen to her at all, but would be dragged into it and it would be difficult to protect herself, so she stopped doing it.

Anyway, the two of them won't really fight if they quarrel, so it's up to him to settle it - with Sheila's words, Yueying is at ease.

"The relationship is so good~"

Tsukizakura looked up and looked strangely at Mr. Marlos, who had already changed his clothes.

Is it good to quarrel or be emotional?Tsukizakura said she couldn't understand.

"It's not a fight, it's just a bicker. Marlos's words surprised Tsukizakura, not that he could know what Tsukizakura was thinking, but that Marlos's expression of voice matched his image was really a little scary.

A giant man who is no different from a bear actually shows the expression of a young girl, no matter who it is, he will be frightened, and then wonder if his eyes are wrong.

Fortunately, Tsukizakura is the kind of person who is in a relatively calm mood, but she calmed down in a few seconds, but she didn't dare to look at Marlos anymore - anyway, if you don't look up, you can't see your face, and it doesn't matter if you look at it or not.

The wrench was the first to finish changing his clothes, and ran away first after saying a word to get something, and he didn't know what to take in this first place.

By the time the other three came out after changing their clothes, Alice was already waiting in the aisle, like several men, she was wearing thick down jackets, and the goggles on her head were blocked a lot because of the curly hair, and she couldn't see the specific style, but she thought she was snowy like everyone else. Now Alice is like a girl who is going to ski, but without skis.

"Are you all alright?" Tsukizakura asked, and after making sure that nothing was missing, she went downstairs.

?

In front of the gate of the level, Verus had been waiting for a long time, his head twisted to the side, as if he had nothing to do, and Sheila stood next to him, holding her arms and doing nothing. Jairo bit the cigarette butt that was about to be extinguished, his eyelids drooped, and he seemed a little sleepy.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Tsukizakura feels that the atmosphere is a little subtle.

The wrench slipped out of the other side, and his feet jumped and jumped, looking like he was in a nervous disorder.

After seeing Tsukizakura come out, Sheila walked over and leaned into his ear and said, "What you said last time, you can come back." ”

"Huh?" Tsukizakura froze for a moment, then smiled in surprise, "Really?"

"Hmm. Sheila nodded, "So do a good job, understand?"

"Hmm!" Tsukizakura nodded vigorously.

The rest of the people have gone far under Jairo's leadership, as if a guide was leading tourists to the ski slopes.

"Come on. Sheila admonished, and patted Tsukizakura on the shoulder.

Tsukizakura shook her fist happily and ran away like a child who had just been rewarded, even though he was a child for his age.

"I'm in a good mood. Seeing Yueying come back, the wrench echoed.

"You too. ”

"That's~" Wrenched his finger at a rifle on the back, the corners of his mouth were about to turn up his ears, "This is the best military submachine rifle now~ Super long duration, super stable recoil and low recoil, it's a treasure...... Throw my little water gun for hundreds of kilometers!"

"Where did it come from?"

"The materials given by the deputy director, there are a lot of weapons in the arsenal, so I picked the best one." ”

"Oh......" Verus did say that he would provide supplies, which naturally included weapons, but Yue Ying and Lin Mingfeng both had their own weapons, and Alice used a magic guide, so they didn't need to provide anything extra, so the wrench, which was a gun, needed to be replaced.

After all, the power of the pistol he used was really a bit poor, and he could bully a little monster of a low level, so he naturally had to be cautious in the first mission, and the stronger the weapon, the better.

As she spoke, Tsukizakura noticed that they were not walking towards the gate, but had come to an inconspicuous iron door, where Jairo was holding the key and was unlocking.

"Didn't you go through the gate?"

"It's not to send supplies, and there aren't many of you, so it's a waste to open the door. Jairo tinkered for a while, and suddenly kicked the iron door, and the heavy iron door finally cracked.

"The key is useful?" Lin Mingfeng covered his nose, and there was a damp smell coming from inside the door, obviously he hadn't cleaned it for a long time.

Jairo smiled awkwardly, "Because basically no one has ever passed through here...... Let's walk around and bear with me. ”

Under Jairo's leadership, everyone reluctantly walked in, only Marlos was stuck for a while because of his size.

The door closes, and calm returns to the level.

Sheila stood there for a moment and sighed.

"How. Verus said.

"I just don't think it's too much to let them do this task in the first place. Sheila lowered her eyes, "The mission should be achievable, but it's too harsh for them as newbies. ”

Verus stared at her with a subtle expression, "You should know that time is running out. ”

“……！”

"In short, leave it to fate. ”

?

The passage behind the door was not large, but it was large enough for two people to pass side by side, but it was a little difficult for Marlos, and although he had resisted trying not to make uncomfortable sounds, the sound of the lights repeatedly hitting the top of the passage still made everyone a little uncomfortable.

"It hurts just to hear it. The wrench smacked his tongue.

Soon, it came to an end, and it was the same iron door, airtight, with stains of rust, which seemed to have not been opened for a long time.

Jairo inserted the key into the lock, pulled the doorknob in his hand, and said pretendly, "Ready?"

"Huh? Tsukizakura nodded inexplicably.

Jairo smiled meaningfully, "Welcome to Hell, then. With that, he opened the door.

The icy snow wind poured into the passage, and what Tsukizakura saw was an endless white snow.

As soon as she stepped out, the ground on her feet made a gurgling sound, and her feet were no longer dirt, but a finger's deep snow, and Tsukizakura lifted it a little with her foot, and saw the dark black dirt underneath - dry and hard.

A snowflake drifted by, landed on top of Alice's head, and then melted, and she held up her hand and tried to catch the rest, but failed.

When Lin Mingfeng came out, he let out a surprised sound.

"Snow?" he said, looking back at the black level, and then at the snow in front of him, grabbing his hair in disbelief, "It's a little weird." ”

Just a "wall" apart, it's like a different world.

In fact, no matter how cold it is, it will not reach the point of snow, at most it will rain a little hail, Lin Mingfeng is the first time to see real snow, he has only seen it on TV before.

At this time, Jairo clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Well, look here, if you want to live here, just listen to my suggestions. Jairo didn't know where to get two shovels and handed them to Wrench and Lin Mingfeng, "This thing is very useful, don't lose it." ”

The two of them had a bitter face and hung the shovel behind their backs, originally they had enough things to carry, but now they hadn't set off yet, and they had more weight.

And at this time, a strange voice came from behind everyone.

As soon as Tsukizakura turned around, her heart suddenly beat heavily.

At a distance of only a dozen meters, there stood a "person", its mouth was wide open, its mutilated jaw still had a few teeth, its body and limbs were unnaturally twisted, and through the gap in the tattered clothes, Tsukizakura could see the white bones of the forest.

A movable corpse, or rather, an undead.

"Ah...... It's coming so soon. Jairo unloaded the gun behind his back, stepped forward, and aimed it at the approaching undead. "Give it a go. ”

He looked back at the people who were stunned by surprise, "This thing is an undead, you should have heard of it, these things will be the main enemy you face in the future." Now I'm going to show you how to take out these pesky bones. ”

With that, he fired a shot, and the undead's body shook, and its left arm was gone, but it didn't succeed in stopping it, it was still moving this way, albeit slowly.

"Because they are undead, they don't feel pain, but they don't really kill them if they are damaged...... Do you see what's in its eyes?"

After Jairo's reminder, Tsukizakura narrowed her eyes, and finally saw a subtle hint of silver blue in the undead's hollow eyes.

"That's the weakness of these bone frames, which are usually in the head, so what we have to do is aim for their heads. With that, Jairo fired another shot, and this time, the undead's head exploded entirely, and then, the rest of its body shook and fell.

"Even if you hit the head, you won't really die, because they're dead things in the first place. Jairo gestured out two fingers, "In two days at most, he will be resurrected." ”

"Then how do you fight?" Lin Mingfeng blurted out.

"I can't fight. Jairo replied naturally, "The only way to completely deal with these undead is to burn them with fire." But I don't think you have that time when you're moving forward, so avoid it if you encounter it. ”

Seeing everyone's embarrassed expressions, Jairo spread his hands, "So there are very few soldiers in this level, in order to minimize the smell of the living, so as not to attack them~ But you have to pass through here, so be mentally prepared." ”

"No, I'm just wondering how those skeletons don't even have noses, how do they smell?" said the wrench, "weird, isn't it?"

The rest agreed.

Jairo rolled his eyes speechlessly, he seemed to understand a little bit as to why this group of people had come here.

Jairo took a few steps back and suddenly laughed, "So that's it, peace to you." ”

?

The iron door was closed, and the icy snow wind began to rise again.

Alice had taken the map out and the crowd was around, but no one could fully read the markings except for the wrench.

"Two mountains and one river...... It's a bit of a hassle in this environment. ”

"Well, hopefully there won't be too many roadblocks. Tsukizakura squinted her eyes and looked at the hazy snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the thick clouds rolled not far from the top of the mountain, like the heavenly dome of hell.

Tsukizakura spat out a mouthful of white mist, watching the snowflakes keep falling, he turned around and looked at Wrench, Alice, Lin Mingfeng, and Mr. Marlos. They are either clasping their hands on their chests, or clutching the bags of their backpacks, or grabbing their hair boredly, or smiling, but they are all looking at the same person, waiting.

"Let's go. Tsukizakura took the first step, and the snow under her feet made a gurgling sound.
