The biting cold made Chu Tianjiang wake up.

Chu Tianjiang climbed up and found himself lying in the snow, next to a gently flowing river, surrounded by a white ice and snow world.

The cold wind whined, dragging out the sound of the water.

The colorful battle armor automatically appeared on Chu Tianjiang's body and began to heat up, helping him resist the cold.

What is this place?

Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, because the harsh winter had passed, spring had arrived, the ice and snow had melted, and it was still icy and snowy, and the temperature was around minus thirty degrees Celsius.

Seeing the river next to him and the big snowy mountain in the south, Chu Tianjiang understood.

The river flowed from south to north and washed him here. He jumped off the cliff of the river with Iska in his arms, which was supposed to be near the snowy mountain. The tall mountains block the warm wind blowing from the south, leaving the land north of the mountains still shrouded in bitter cold.

Iska!?

Chu Tianjiang was startled and immediately activated the search function of the Colorful Battle Armor.

He jumped off the cliff with Iskar in his arms, and at the last minute he lifted Iskar to it, not injuring her in the impact.

Apparently, Iska also fell into the river.

With intuition, Chu Tianjiang walked downstream.

If Iska had left him halfway, she would definitely be far away now, and even if she was in danger, Chu Tianjiang would not be able to save her. If she hadn't left halfway and had been washed here by the river, she must have been nearby, and most likely somewhere downstream. The reason is very simple, Iska did not abandon Chu Tianjiang halfway, and would definitely push Chu Tianjiang to the shore before losing his instincts. She didn't go ashore with Chu Tianjiang, indicating that she had exhausted her physical strength and was washed farther away by the river, somewhere downstream. Because the current has become gentle, it is possible that she has been washed ashore or blocked by objects in the river.

It didn't take long for Chu Tianjiang to see Iska.

She was lying face down in an inlet, her face completely submerged.

Chu Tianjiang ran over and pulled her up from the water.

His clothes were soaked with water, his body was cold, his skin had turned purple-gray, his eyes were closed, he was no longer breathing, and he didn't even have a pulse.

"She's dead." A figure appeared.

"No, she's not dead."

"She's dead!"

"She's not dead!"

Chu Tianjiang ignored the figure anymore, put Iskar flat on the ground, first pressed out the water in her lungs, and then began to press her chest to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"She's dead."

"No, she's not dead." Chu Tianjiang suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at the figure. "You must know the way, tell me, how to save her, tell me-"

The figure sighed. "Are you really trying to save her?"

"Tell me, how can I save her?"

"Colorful Warframe."

"What?"

"The Colorful Warframe has this function. Her heart stopped beating less than ten minutes, and her brain died completely about fifteen minutes after her heart stopped. You'll have to put the Rainbow Armor on her and activate the health rebuild system. The figure paused for a moment, then said, "This will consume all the energy of the Colorful Warframe, and it will be unusable for the next two days, and there is a very big risk. ”

"What risk?" Chu Tianjiang had already taken off his colorful battle armor.

"If she wakes up and regains consciousness, she will be able to control the Colorful Warframe." The figure sighed and said, "Because you didn't control the Colorful Armor when you saved her, so when the time comes, as long as she refuses to return it, she will become the owner of the Colorful Armor."

"No other risks?"

"That's the biggest risk. In this world, if you don't have the Colorful Battle Armor, you are nothing. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and put the helmet of the colorful battle armor on Iska's head.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"I'm sure she's definitely not that kind of person."

"You don't know her at all."

Chu Tianjiang glanced at the figure, and then pierced the chest armor of the colorful battle armor on Iska's body. "In a sense, I know enough about her."

"Intuition?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and activated the automatic wearing function of the colorful battle armor.

The figure didn't say anything more, because it had no intuition, so it couldn't judge Chu Tianjiang's intuition. In addition, even if it was against it, it would not be able to change Chu Tianjiang.

Although the water on his body had been dried, but taking off his colorful battle armor, Chu Tianjiang still felt the biting cold.

"How long will it take?"

"A few hours."

Chu Tianjiang nodded and walked towards the woods next to the river beach.

He had already lost his fur coat, so he had to find a way to build a bonfire now, or the cold would kill him in less than half an hour.

"You trust intuition?"

"We've known each other for a long time, haven't we?" Chu Tianjiang glanced at the figure and said with a smile, "I am a warrior, and on the battlefield, some unexpected things often happen. In the face of unexpected situations, there is no time to think, and you can only rely on intuition. If my instincts weren't reliable, I'd be doomed. ”

"Hopefully it's not wrong this time."

"You know better than I do."

The figure nodded and said, "After jumping off the cliff, she had several chances to escape, but she needed to leave you behind, but she didn't do that." Before she fell unconscious, she pushed you up the river beach with a little bit of force, and then she was washed away. You know what happened next. ”

"I guessed it too."

"Hey......" the figure sighed.

Chu Tianjiang was very surprised, because this was the first time that a figure showed affection.

"Don't look at me, I'm just a program, without human emotions. I sigh, but it's just imitation, to make it easier for you to accept. ”

"Accept what?"

"She reminds me of someone."

Chu Tianjiang was secretly startled, and then fell silent. He knew who the figure of the Dao was talking about, because that person was the only one who had sacrificed his life to save him.

"Zhilu said, what did I do, didn't object to you using the colorful armor to save her?"

"I don't want to mention the past."

"It's not a thing of the past, it's a thing of the present. I know that since you came back, you have been blaming yourself, thinking that you owe them Nicole and them, and even hurt Nicole and them. You returned to this world for the sake of them, hoping to be able to hold them in your arms again. ”

"That's enough." Chu Tianjiang controlled his emotions and tried to suppress the grief in his heart.

"But as you know, the chances of seeing them again are slim. Although I believe that you will give everything to save human civilization, I am even more convinced that your purpose is not so noble. Everything you do is atonement for your sins. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly, he didn't know what to say.

"But you should know that it's not your fault at all, you've done your best, and you've fought for a hundred years for us, for everyone, but we haven't been able to seize this opportunity. If we succeed, Nicol, they're back with you now. It's not your responsibility, you don't have to blame yourself at all, and you don't have to feel guilty. Regardless of the outcome, you did what you were supposed to do. ”

"What do you want to say?" Chu Tianjiang looked at the figure.

"Let go of the baggage, live in the moment, and live well. This is your second life, and it is the second chance you have won for humanity and for yourself. If you can't let go of your baggage, can't correct your mentality, and can't overcome yourself, you can't change the fate of mankind, let alone change your destiny. Whether it's for the sake of human civilization, or for the sake of Nichol, or for yourself, you should travel light. ”

Chu Tianjiang was silent, the figure had all the memories of Zhang Xiaogang, and also had Zhang Xiaogang's logical thinking ability, so his ability to reason was no less than Zhang Xiaogang. Because there is no emotion and is completely dominated by rational logical thinking, the figure can analyze things more thoroughly.

"Do you know the way, you're so lonely."

"Old Zhang ......" At this moment, Chu Tianjiang took the figure as Zhang Xiaogang.

"Believe my words, let go of your baggage, cherish everyone around you, and don't deceive and paralyze yourself. You are a person with a lot of feelings, but also a person who values love and righteousness. It is precisely because you have such a wealth of emotions that you are human, otherwise you would be just like me, just a logical program. Only by unleashing your inner feelings and allowing yourself to become flesh and blood can you find the right way forward. ”

Chu Tianjiang gritted his teeth, although he didn't dare to face it, but he knew that the figure of the Dao Dao was right.

Chu Tianjiang has always firmly believed that the reason why people are human is precisely because people have feelings.

Because he could perceive the changes in Chu Tianjiang's thinking, the figure knew that he had already persuaded Chu Tianjiang, so he didn't continue to ramble.

After picking up some dead branches, Chu Tianjiang lit a bonfire.

Although she lost a lot of things when she fell off the cliff, Iska's backpack was still there, and it contained the food she had prepared for the long journey.

It didn't take much effort, Chu Tianjiang made a stone pot and boiled a pot of broth.

Bacon is hard and easier to digest after being boiled into broth. What's more, eating some hot food in this icy and snowy place is very helpful for maintaining physical strength.

Six hours later, under the reminder of the figure, Chu Tianjiang withdrew the colorful battle armor.

While the figure didn't lie, it couldn't lie, but it didn't tell the whole story, that as long as Iskar retracted the Rainbow Armor before he woke up, there would be no risk. Iska in a coma didn't know what the Colorful Armor was, so it was impossible to take away control of the Colorful Armor.

Of course, saving Iskar also made the colorful armor use up all its energy.

After the colorful battle armor retreated into subspace, Chu Tianjiang picked up Iska and hugged him tightly. Her fur coat had long since been washed away, and the campfire could not withstand the bitter cold. Chu Tianjiang could bear it for the time being, but Iskar in a coma couldn't resist the cold at all.

The two can only be close to each other in order to resist the cold and survive in this cold world.
