14. True feelings and false intentions 05
Ji Boyang saw Xiao Mo scratching his head there, and his facial muscles were slightly distorted. Xiao Mo provoked everyone's fragile nerves, and turned his head to expose his greed and ignorance again.
"I haven't eaten crocodile meat since I'm so big...... This is only for extra meals, right? ”
The soldiers looked at each other and deafly lifted the cubs to find a place to release them.
-- Parasitic reptiles have been integrated into the polar biological chain, and the battlefield will designate a strict periodic table, according to the state of parasitic reptiles to hunt in large numbers or hunt alone, unless it is life-threatening emergency self-defense, other times are not allowed to hunt at will, especially cubs.
Recent cleansing campaigns have been for monitor lizards. Because the parasitic crocodile mutation ability is defense, the invulnerable skin has become an upstart in the material world, hunting adult crocodiles in the battlefield, but protecting parasitic crocodile cubs.
Xiao Mo rushed back to car No. 5 with a dazed expression, Ji Boyang was getting out of the car with a lunch box, Xiao Mo rubbed his face and cheered up, "Hey...... I remember you seemed to be trying to give me mangoes, haven't you forgotten? ”
Ji Boyang nodded, the corners of Xiao Mo's eyes were crooked, and he smiled.
Ji Boyang turned sideways around him, Xiao Mo pulled the corner of his eyes, grabbed the boy's collar and said in surprise, "The mango hasn't been given yet." ”
"The mango was eaten." Ji Boyang passed by the big fat man, listened to Xiao Mo's pretended aggrieved wail behind him, and turned into the No. 1 car.
Brother Joseph saw that the young master handed over the lunch box as soon as he got in the car, and subconsciously thought that he was putting it away. Ji Boyang stretched out his hand to stop it, pointed to a few yellow mangoes inside, and instructed the brothers, "Don't have one left." ”

Avoiding the trajectory of the parasitic crocodile, the convoy traveled for another half day and reached 85°01′23" north latitude, where huge blocks of ice stood up, obliquely, horizontally, and broke as far as the eye could see.
"It's nicknamed the giant's playground."
Brother Bing explained that this was all caused by the collapse of the iceberg. The flat terrain on the ice sheet is not suitable for hiding, and there are many shelters here, making it a place to hunt monitor lizards in the field. The convoy entered a narrow triangular tunnel formed by two large pieces of ice colliding together and set up camp.
The captain was discussing the order of the vigil with the deputy captain not far away, Xiao Mo walked to a soldier who was setting up a tent, picked up the tools on the ground and put a handle, and immediately asked:
"What did your captain just command you? I didn't know what to do in a hurry, and I was always a little unsure. ”
"He told us to rest and start the round-up in six hours."
"Six hours?" Xiao Mo was surprised, "It wasn't dawn yet...... I can't see the road clearly, what can I do? ”
After Xiao Mo asked, Brother Bing glanced at him with an indescribable gaze. If it weren't for Brother Bing's upright appearance, Xiao Mo would have suspected that the other party was slandering in his heart: How did this idiot get in?
"Since yesterday, this area has entered a long eternal night, and don't expect the sun to appear above the horizon for the next half year."
"Okay." Xiao Mo's face did not blush, and he accepted his ignorance without breathing.
In his previous life, he was full of deviations, and when he was developing new basic weapons, he went to the Federation to audit the professors' seminars, and was forcibly evicted because he wanted to increase the amount of flaunting capital in front of the Century Tower...... To give this example is to say: he doesn't even know about the Federation, let alone the battlefield, or even the ice field? Paying attention to the big guys around him is enough for him to be busy, so how can he have time to understand the knowledge that he doesn't need.
Xiao Mo dragged the fat back to the No. 5 tent, and pasted a warm patch on his back before walking to a soldier brother, lying on the futon that emitted cold air, and sleeping like a dead pig.
Ji Boyang slept alone in the tent he brought, and turned over silently in the dark a few times, Joseph heard the movement and asked through the tent, "Do you need sleep aids?" ”
Ji Boyang sat up, stared at a certain point and was silent for a long time, and suddenly climbed out of the tent.
"I'll go to the cave for a while."
Brother Joseph was about to follow, Ji Boyang glanced back, and the two brothers paused. Under the dim light, the shadow of the bridge of the eyebrows and nose made the boy seem to be covered with a haze, and his deep eyes seemed to be poured with mud in stagnant water, and the frozen and heavy gloomy gaze revealed a daunting rejection and alienation.
After Ji Boyang left, Yoman looked at his brother, "Is this good?" ”
"The young master needs to be alone occasionally."
Joseph glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Mo's tent, and seeing that his younger brother was still not at ease, he explained, "Young Master is not in the weak period now, with the young master's intelligence and martial arts skills, even if he accidentally encounters an adult monitor lizard, he can still find a chance to hit with one blow, let alone only go around the entrance of the cave." ”
The night sky is clear and cloudless.
Ji Boyang rushed to the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the cave, strolling on the ice and snow, squeaking, squeaking, squeaking...... After walking a few hundred meters unconsciously, the inaccessible ice field is exceptionally quiet, which is conducive to calm thinking.
Ji Boyang squatted down and scooped up a handful of snow, and he didn't feel any cold in his palms.
A normal human has a self-regulating thermostatic system, but his body temperature always changes with the outside world, which can be as high as 50 °C or below zero for a long time. From a genetic point of view or from the perspective of social common sense, he knew that the Guban family was hiding an unspeakable secret, but his father did not think that it was necessary for his mentally ill son to know this.
Ji Boyang was born with a secret and grew up in other people's secrets...... There are many things he doesn't understand, but there are very few people who can teach him, just like now.
He's starting to feel strange to himself!
Why did he stand outside like this, doing nothing, and not going back to sleep?
Determined to distance himself from Xiao Mo, he released his scarce tolerance, and did not clean up Xiao Mo who brought him negative feelings like he did with his younger brother and the psychiatric hospital where he was imprisoned, why did that fat man not only leave his sight silently without knowing his kindness, but instead affected his thoughts over and over again and interfered with his feelings?
Who gave him that power?
Ji Boyang squeezed the snow mass in his palm, looked depressed, and whispered, "Or just clean it up?" ”
Smashing the snow to the ground, Ji Boyang clapped his hands and got up, and the ground suddenly shook slightly-like the footsteps of heavyweight creatures running in groups. Looking around quickly, the direction from which the sound came from was blocked by the giant ice, Ji Boyang walked around and took a few steps towards the source of the sound, and suddenly stopped!
A hundred meters away, there was a steep ice slope reclining on the ground, and a group of agitated monitor lizards for unknown reasons used the ice slope as a bridge to higher ground.
Ji Boyang was about to go back to inform the team that there was a clumsy adult lizard on the bridge that was accidentally squeezed to the edge, and after stepping into the air, it rolled down the ice slope and fell more than ten meters away. The monitor lizard shook its head, looked around, and suddenly saw someone in front of him, staring at Ji Boyang with creepy vertical pupils.
Ji Boyang put his hand on the crocodile whip on his waist.

Xiao Mo got up at night to pee in the dark, and walked staggeringly, like a drunk--no, Xiao Mo was shocked, sobered up, and stood for a second and finally determined-
"The ground seems to be shaky?"
Xiao Mo looked around, only to find that there was no one, and he ran outside to see a soldier brother. Brother Bing turned his head, "You finally woke up, you couldn't wake up just now." ”
"What's going on? Earthquake? Ice cracks? Why does the ground keep shaking? Xiao Mo showed a rare flustered expression and asked, "Where is Ji Boyang?" ”
"Calm down." Be wary of the surrounding soldiers, "It's the monitor lizard that is restless, and I don't know why they all run to high ground." Young Master Ji is missing, and the captain has already led someone to look for him. "He stayed to guard the door because Xiao Mo couldn't wake up.
"Missing?!" Didn't the autobiography say that Ji Boyang encountered an ice crack when he was acting with the team? Otherwise, if you really fall into the water and drown, there will be no one to save you......
"It's okay to run around or something!" Xiao Mo said angrily, pulled his collar, and wiped the sweat from his neck.
A third of his peace...... He didn't chase after him to see the boy die!
In Brother Bing's stunned expression, Xiao Mo squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of snow to rub his face, rubbing it from his forehead to his neck, the cold and moist touch successfully calmed down the fat man and asked about the situation.
Brother Bing said: "I received the call signal a quarter of an hour ago, but the location I located is constantly moving, and now there are too many monitor lizards running around in a restless manner, which is likely to hinder the team, and I don't know when I will be able to find Young Master Ji." ”
Well, Ji Boyang's current situation is nothing more than:
1. Attacked by a monitor lizard and died;
2. When the ice cracks, die;
3. Take shit luck and escape death.
The probability of death is greater than that of life, and we can only pray that the blind cat will meet the dead mouse and believe in the inertia of history. Xiao Mo bit his nails and activated his brain, carefully recalling the picture of the turning point in history in that lesson, which was the place where the signal was sent - the place where the ice cracked. Even after guessing, Xiao Mo asked Brother Bing and learned that the terrain in the vicinity was similar.
"You go to the first one, and if you don't find it, you go to the second...... I'm here to wait for you with good news. ”
Xiao Mo sent away the suspicious soldier, and waited for half an hour without anyone coming back.
The big fat man looked forward to the empty and uninhabited tunnel, calculated the 15 km/h march of Brother Bing, and ran five laps around the two locations...... So, Brother Bing, this is the first one that I didn't find and went to the second one? Or did you go and find it but got into trouble?
Should he continue to hide behind the scenes and act as a behind-the-scenes hero, or should he step to the front of the stage?
The ground had stopped shaking, and all the monitor lizards around it had run away...... Xiao Mo waited for another five minutes, but still didn't see the two teams come back, so he sighed and decided to go out in person.
Xiao Mo was also a man who walked like a fly when he was thin, since his limbs were covered with fat, he was like a long-term weight-bearing, his pace was discounted by half, plus the ice that the monitor lizard broke when he fled, he circled left and right, climbed around, and finally arrived at the second place out of breath after a quarter of an hour.
There was no one on the wide ice field, Xiao Mo was slightly disappointed, he walked two steps and stepped on the soft snow, but when he raised his foot, he smelled a foul smell.
Belch...... He rubbed the soles of his shoes, like lizard droppings?
Xiao Mo hurriedly took two steps back and stepped on a lump of ...... Well, looking at the density, it is estimated that it is a nest of monitor lizards, but fortunately, it has run out now.
Accustomed to the pungent smell, Xiao Mo could smell the smell of blood in the air. He searched for the scent, the sound of flapping wings in the darkness, and threw a piece of snow to probe, and the unknown creature hovered in place. Xiao Mo recalled the animals he had seen on the ice field, and there were no aggressive birds.
Xiao Mo put his mind down and approached, and found that it was actually a bird flying!
An unknown object covered in snow bulged up on the ground, and Xiao Mo reached out to sweep away the snowflakes, revealing a stunning face under his hand.
"Thanks to history."
Xiao Mo took off his undershirt as a bandage and treated Ji Boyang's wound with the clumsy bandaging technique he had learned improvised in the field hospital, and then encountered a problem.
[Known: Ji Boyang is in a coma, and he can't wake up, so he can't be expected to go back by himself.] ]
[Question: Is he going to carry the boy's arduous weight all the way back?] Or go back and be a hands-off shopkeeper for a pleasant time? ]
In any case, we must first pull Ji Boyang out of the snow and take him away from here quickly. Ji Boyang still clung to the leather whip even in a coma, Xiao Mo praised the boy's alertness in his heart, and held Ji Boyang on his shoulder.
A strong light suddenly shot out from under the ice at the bottom of his feet, and the thick pillar of light stretched for tens of meters.
