"Find weapons! Fast! ”

Xia Ren shouted loudly.

If that group of monsters comes back, it's over! They're all going to die!

In fact, without waiting for his order, a group of people had already taken their weapons, but Xia Ren was too nervous to notice it at the first time.

"Give."

Wen Yan handed over an iron sword, and Xia Ren took it in his hand and checked it, the weight was almost the same as his own physics holy sword.

The dark shadows were getting closer and closer, and everyone was holding their weapons tightly and waiting for them.

They can't run, and in this world full of ice, even if they do, they will be frozen to death in the cold wind tonight, and there may be hope of surviving if they sacrifice their lives.

Finally, the shadow was only a hundred and fifty meters away from them, and they could see the outline of the shadow in the wind, and at the same time, several dog barks were heard in the air.

Dog barking?

"It's a sled! It's a sled! ”

One of the team members shouted.

"Hey, we're here!"

It turned out that it was someone from the base at the foot of the mountain range.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them were unsteady on their feet and simply sat down on the ground.

"I thought I was going to die......"

A team of only six people came to them in two sleds, and Natsuin opened his arms and hugged Ranaya tightly, but his face was not very good.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say that you should stay at the base and wait for me? ”

He asked, frowning.

Lanaya was taken aback by his expression, and hurriedly explained, "Didn't the scientific research team send a message saying that the outside base would be temporarily abandoned and everyone should move here?" ”

"When did we message?"

The rest of the rescue team looked at each other.

Xia Ren instantly thought of a possibility.

"Before Professor Verde even tried to send that message, someone preemptively contacted the outside base!"

You don't have to think about the reason why they came here, those crazy guys plan to die with everyone!

"What's wrong with you? Why are they all armed with weapons, are there any beasts in the mountains? ”

An assistant who had just arrived said.

"The situation...... It's a little complicated. ”

Xia Ren took Lanaya's hand, subconsciously a little hard, afraid that she would lose it.

"It's almost getting dark, and if you want to go back, you have to wait until tomorrow."

He muttered to himself, analyzing the situation in front of him.

The five assistants, including Lanaya, looked at the rescue team with heavy expressions on their faces, and felt that something was wrong.

"What about Professor Qin? Why didn't you see him? ”

An assistant couldn't help but ask.

The rescue team members all set their eyes on Xia Ren, waiting for him to speak.

Xia Ren was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "The situation is ...... It's a little complicated, you will know when you go in. ”

After speaking, he led a large group of people to the base again, but when he was still one or twenty meters away from the base, he suddenly said: "The woman stays here first, don't come close, and the rest of the people will follow me in." ”

Counting Lanaya, the six people who came this time, as well as two female assistants, stayed outside together.

Xia Ren didn't explain too much, and led the men to the pair of blood-colored skeletons, and said, "We can't let the bones of the scientific research team be exposed all the time, while there is still a little light, let's work hard and bury them first." ”

"Bones?"

The assistant who didn't know what was going on wondered.

After Xia Ren finished speaking, he directly lifted the tent cloth, revealing the terrifying scene below, and the smell of blood instantly spread into the air.

The three new assistants immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.

Although the rest of the people have seen it, it is still difficult to accept.

"I'll help too."

A ghostly figure stood behind them.

"Professor Qin?"

Three assistants recognized him.

Professor Qin took some difficult steps, and he didn't think there was anything terrible about this pile of skeletons.

He knew most of the team members, who had met at several conferences or in the lab, and even those who had worked with him.

Now, the wife who has been with him for decades is also inside.

Professor Qin stood silently in front of the pile of bones, and Xia Ren looked at this scene with some touch.

There has never been a moment when life and death are so stark in opposition.

"If the monsters in the Crazy Mountains run out, such scenes will be played out frequently in the human world!"

The confusion in Xia Ren's eyes had completely disappeared, and he had become firm again.

Less than two feet of snow was covered with hard ice, and it took nearly an hour for a dozen people to finally bury all the bones in it.

They built a grave bag on top of the tomb with snow, and there was no tombstone.

By the time they had done this, they were sweating from exhaustion.

The three women who had been waiting outside came in later, and someone briefly told them what had happened, and at Xia Ren's suggestion, the rescue team deliberately concealed the six monster corpses outside the base from the assistants, so that they would not be contaminated as well.

At dinner, no one said anything.

After experiencing such a thing, even the most cheerful person can't laugh at this time.

The sky had completely darkened, and the huge vortex above them was still there, along with the harsh environment around them, reminding everyone that they were in danger.

After dinner, Xia Ren chatted with Lanaya, and saw a dark shadow walking towards the base alone, and after thinking about it, he also followed.

Professor Qin sat cross-legged in front of the grave and noticed Xia Ren coming, he raised his eyelids slightly.

The two sat together for a while and didn't say anything.

"I've lived so long, I've been through several deaths, I've been to many funerals."

Professor Qin opened his mouth and told about his past.

Xia Ren knew that he needed to talk personally at this time, so he didn't interject and waited for him to continue.

"A lot older."

Professor Qin said intermittently.

"I am 55 years old this year, and I even attended the funeral of my parents, and the feeling of remembrance at that time is still engraved in my soul to this day, and to this day, in addition to my children, even my favorite wife has died."

"Maybe I'll die too."

"Gradually, I figured out what death meant."

"The dead don't need graves."

Professor Qin looked at the snowdrift in front of him and said, "It is the survivors who need a grave, because once they die, they lose all their consciousness, they are a pile of rotting meat, and the dead do not know the pain, nor can they understand the grief of their loved ones, they are completely out of the world."

It is precisely because of this that death is so terrible and so ...... Intimidating. People are not afraid of losing, but of not finding something that can be replaced, and this is the meaning of the grave. ”

Professor Qin chattered, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

Anyone who is in a terrible mood can become a philosopher.

Xia Ren always felt that Professor Qin's two sentences just now were a little familiar, and then remembered that Huang Qiuyuan, a criminal investigation expert, had not said something similar?

Gradually, Professor Qin's voice became weaker and weaker, and it was so small that it was no longer audible.

Xia Ren sensed that something was wrong.

"Professor Qin?"

He shook Professor Qin's shoulder, and as a result, the other party's body seemed to have lost all its strength to support it, and he fell down directly.

Beneath him, the blood had melted a large expanse of ice and snow.
