"To tell you the truth, Your Highness, I didn't expect you to say these things tonight." Ying Ran frowned slightly, pressed the cigarette on his fingertips into the ashtray, and paced two steps anxiously, "Is it too early for a showdown at this time?" ”

The room was covered with a heavy, soft carpet that sucked up the sound of his footsteps. The crown prince, who was sitting on the sofa across from him, only smiled slightly and leaned forward. Then the leather couch creaked.

"Actually, I think it's a little late." The crown prince shook his head with a soft smile, "It's not just this time, it's been a little late for us to start fighting. ”

Ying resolutely stopped, looked at Dai Bingcheng, and then moved his gaze back to the prince's face. He didn't know whether he should ask that question or not, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "You mean Your Majesty ......?"

Dai Bingcheng shook his head at him slightly. But the prince didn't seem to care. He waved his hand to Dai Bingcheng, leaned back on the sofa, and sighed: "Father's cancer is terminal, and it won't last for three months at most." It's nothing, you have to know sooner or later. But when I say late, I don't mean it. ”

"I mean the attitude towards Li Zhen."

"Hou Ye originally planned to try him and observe him for a while, and this matter is understandable. But we didn't realize from the beginning that Li Zhen was not an ordinary person. Or rather, although we overestimate him as much as we can, we underestimate him at the very least. Every time we give him something, he doesn't really care that much anymore. ”

The crown prince frowned and shook his head again: "Actually, this time we should fully cooperate with him when he just came back, instead of waiting until now." We thought he would always come to us for help. At least to seek cooperation - but now he went to Siberia alone. ”

"Leave the half-body of the little girl here and wait for him to retrieve it...... It was my idea. Now I find this idea to be stupid. It's my fault. ”

Dai Bingcheng didn't speak—it wasn't appropriate to say anything at this time.

The crown prince glanced at Ying Ran and smiled: "As for what you are worried about - you can rest assured. The Prophet told me that now is the best time. ”

No one had really seen the Empire's prophet, at least two in this room hadn't. However, they realized that it was unlikely that the crown prince would be reckless in such a matter, so they acquiesced.

"So, what's next?" Ying asked hesitantly, "We don't know his attitude yet." He's done something to the south, but I don't know what his purpose is. If he wanted to divide the territory, he could settle down there, and if he didn't want to worry about these mundane things, there was no need to send such a telegram. I think I used to know him. But for now. I don't get it a finger. ”

The prince turned his head and looked at Dai Bingcheng: "What do you say?" ”

Dai Bingcheng smiled faintly: "Since you knew him in the past, then you still know him now." We all know what kind of people are on the north side of the road. Since he wants to go there by himself, you can think of the reason. ”

"We thought of it. It's time to do something. It's always better to have the icing on the cake than to give it to you – it's up to you. Communicate with the people sent from Luzon for a while. We need to hurry. ”

……

……

"But why are you here by yourself?"

When asking this sentence. Rong Shu and Li Zhen walked on the thick snow shell.

They had five cars coming, but they had abandoned them two days earlier and walked on foot. Because even if they were snowmobiles and buggies, they still couldn't adapt to the current environment here. The snow is deep. It's almost two meters, and no car can move forward.

But people can't go down - the extreme cold has formed a crust of ice on the snow, and it takes a lot of effort to break this shell.

There were no people in this area for miles, and even the houses that were occasionally built in the past showed only the upper part of the snow and a layer of ice, and from a distance it looked like the dwarves of the Magical World. There were more than thirty people in their group, and they were all quite strong warriors. But such force has never been used, because the Gate of Truth has not been set up outside Murmansk.

The temperature here reaches minus 62 degrees Celsius, which is unimaginably cold. As a result, this low temperature factor became a natural barrier to the Gate of Truth, much more effective and efficient than any of the guards.

The ice covered by the snow surface is actually "rippling". If you look down from the sky, this area looks like the frozen sea. This was actually because of the bomb, the shock wave from the nuclear explosion spread far away, and the heat caused by it melted the snow in the vicinity. But for some reason, the earth-destroying power seemed to be released to a limited extent, as if they had just shown their heads and were dragged back by some force's tail, which is why they were able to find an almost intact house to stay in recently.

Li Zhen was wrapped in a heavy cold-proof suit, looked at the lead-like clouds and snowfields in the distance, and asked, "Then who else can you come with?" ”

He pointed around and shook his head, "Look. It wasn't supposed to be this way. We're about forty kilometres from the site of the nuclear explosion, but it's the 'Ancient Starlord' - it's supposed to be a scorched earth. ”

"Obviously someone has controlled the amount of force. The other party can do this, what is the point of one more person and one less? Needless sacrifices in vain. ”

Rongshu was stunned, laughed in the mask, and said angrily, "Okay, I won't substitute myself into the people you said. ”

But Li Zhen shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, to be honest, what I just meant also includes you. ”

"You are more familiar with the situation than I am, so I want you to show me the way. But if the conflict does happen, my advice to you is to run as far as you want, and never look back. ”

Rong Shu frowned slightly: "I know that you are very strong now, but ......"

Li Zhen shook his head: "No." You still don't know how far I can go now. ”

Rong Shu stepped on the thick ice shell and took a few more steps, still shaking his head: "I know that you have killed a species in the Philippines, and I also know that you have the ability to come back from the sky." But I'm not who I used to be. I'm here to help when it counts—as long as you don't forget what you promised me. ”

Li Zhen stopped, stared at him through the mask for a while, and smiled helplessly: "Then you watch." ”

He raised a hand slightly, pointing to the dark cloud in the distance.

From here, clouds cover half of the sky, but the edges are sharp, like huge flying saucers sent by aliens to invade Earth. The saucer-shaped cloud was now heavy over the city of Murmansk, as if an inch lower it would touch the roofs of some tall buildings.

Rong Shu looked up suspiciously, looking in the direction that Li Zhen was pointing.

The next moment, he held his breath and his eyes widened.

For a small vortex gradually appeared in the lead-gray clouds—as if there was another force further above the clouds, and that force was trying to suck the water vapor away.

At first, it was only a very small area in the middle, but after a dozen seconds, the vortex expanded to almost half of the clouds. There was a faint sound of wind and thunder in the sky, and the scene seemed as if an extraterrestrial demon was trying to tear through the space and descend on this land.

Sunlight poured into the city from the whirlpool, and a huge pillar of "artificial" light appeared in the sky.

Rong Shu was stunned for a few seconds and then pressed down Li Zhen's hand: "Are you crazy?!" They'll find us! ”

The two of them walked ahead of the crowd, when the people behind them caught up, looking at the strange scene in the distance, looking at each other, not understanding what was happening here.

Li Zhen smiled, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance: "It's almost." It's time for him to know I'm here. ”

Then he turned to Eiki: "You have explained everything to me along the way, so you better stay here." Further, it will not be your battlefield. If the winner is decided, I'll call you. If something happens to me......"

He shook his head again, denying his words: "Actually, nothing should happen. At that point, nothing makes sense. ”

After a while, Eiki said, "That ...... just now How did you do that? ”

"It's quite simple. The air rises when it heats up, and I just heat them up. But it's not all about my strength. Li Zhen took a few steps forward, turned around and waved his hand, "Do what I say, okay?" ”

Rongshu looked up at the clouds in the distance again—after a few moments, the leaden clouds had turned into wisps of faint white clouds. They were scattering in all directions, as if a huge white chrysanthemum had bloomed in the sky.

He sighed wistfully and helplessly, and muttered, "You are not human. ”

"I have an ID." Li Zhen smiled and said, "I am a native of Pingyang. ”

After a minute, the person behind him was no longer visible.

In front of Li Zhen was a vast white snowfield, but the current sunlight reflected the snow layer shining, like a sparkling sea.

A figure appeared on the other side of the horizon. Separated by a vast expanse of drab snow and ice, the two men look as if they are in a simple three-dimensional space built by a computer.

So their footsteps were invariably stunned.

After a few seconds, Li Zhen took a few steps forward and slowed down. As he walked, he stripped off his heavy and bloated winter suit, revealing the thin clothes underneath.

A strange weapon with a short forearm was held in his right hand, and the red glow of the whole body became more and more vivid with his steps.

And so the man moved. They were nearly a kilometer apart, and it only took a minute to get there.

===================

When I was reading a book yesterday, I saw Xiaohua and said, the reason why chaos is beautiful is because I only write 3000 a day.

So let me ask, what is the difference between writing about 5,000 a day in the past few days and the quality of 10,000 a day before? (To be continued......)
