Chapter Seventy-Nine: Companions

After leaving Conwick, the buddies didn't waste much time on the road. Three days later, the huge snow-white mountain of Yinlong Mountain finally appeared on the horizon. Compared to Mount Pentanifu, the Silver Dragon Mountain is more majestic and majestic, it is like a giant with its head above the sky and its feet on the ground, standing between heaven and earth, watching and guarding this vast frozen land.

The metropolis located at the foot of the Silver Dragon Mountain is the heart of the Snowy Federation, the ultimate destination of the partners: the Silver Mountain Seat. At a distance of 50 kilometers from the "Silver Mountain Seat", the friends meet a group of survivors who have been besieged by the walking corpses of the insects. This is different from the previous two encounters of those survivors who had no ability to fight back, panicked and regretted, these 5 people seem to have a very high military quality, although facing the siege of nearly 50 walking corpses, but they are quite calm, 5 people are armed with iron swords, spears, shields and other weapons, standing on a small "hillside" piled up with ice and snow, forming a circle, using the advantage of the ground shape to knock down the walking corpses that climbed up one by one.

Despite the chilling incident at the Mount Pentanif Refuge, the friends still believe that there are still many good people in the world, and they decisively draw their swords to help. More than fifty corpses of insects and corpses are a piece of cake for the partners with extremely strong overall combat effectiveness. After annihilating the walking corpses, the five besieged people jumped down the small "hillside". Different from the carelessness and resignation in the prison shelter, and different from the revenge and selfishness of the mountain shelter, the eyes of these five people flashed with the light of "hope" and "unyielding".

The two sides introduced themselves briefly. It turned out that these five people came from a shelter on the eastern outskirts of the "Silver Mountain Seat". The companions were not surprised by this, because after seeing the first two Vaults, they were convinced that there must still be many Vaults of various sizes in the Snowy Federation, and that there must be a large number of survivors who survived the disaster. These five people are all battle mages, and they all served in the direct units of the Ministry of War before the cataclysm, so they have a strong military atmosphere. The five Battlemages were very grateful to the few outsiders who came to their aid, and were amazed by the strength of their companions in battle.

After a brief negotiation, the five battlemages agreed to take their companions to their sanctuary to meet with the supreme commander within. For such a good thing, Cassius and the others were of course happy, although they had reached the periphery of the "Silver Mountain Seat", but before entering the city, it was more important to replenish, rest and intelligence. Somehow, they'll be able to find new companions in the Vault.

Just as his friends were in high spirits and preparing to go to the shelter with the five battle mages, Ray suddenly said, "Please wait a while!" He didn't explain much, but walked up to Joyka and said, "Can you come with me?" I have something to say to you. ā€

"Ray, what can't we hear?" Cassius wondered at his brother's mysterious attitude. "Nothing can be said to people", along the way, everyone put their hearts in their hearts, there is nothing that they can't let others know, what happened to Lei now?

Joyka laughed: "This guy Ray must have taken a fancy to a girl and wants to ask me how to chase girls." As he spoke, his eyes were smiling at Dani.

"What are you talking about, bastard, don't talk nonsense!" Dani blushed and scolded at Joyka as she stomped her foot hard.

However, Ray, who was the person concerned, did not refute, he crossed Joika, rode directly into the sleigh, and ran in the direction they had just come.

Joyka smiled, didn't say anything, and rode another sleigh to follow.

"Did Joyka break Ray?" Cassius' honest head, still not turning.

The Ukrainian stepped forward and asked, "Is it okay for them to go like this?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "With Joey Card here, it shouldn't be a big problem." ā€

The two sleds traveled about 3 or 4 kilometers until the people behind could not see them, and then the snow dogs were stopped.

The two got out of the car together, silently walking to a distance of about 50 meters from the sled.

The air around them suddenly became heavy.

"You're deliberately leaving the others alone, is it related to the poison of the walking corpses on your body?" Joyka asked in a flat tone.

"Do you know what I'm trying to say?" asked Ray expressionlessly.

"At the foot of Mount Pentanifer that day, what you said to go for food was a low-level lie that no 3-year-old would believe. You're afraid that the toxins in your body will drag others down, and you've been thinking that way all the way, and the bastards in Pentaniif Hill have made you think even more, right?"

"Alas...... I thought I was hiding deep enough, but I didn't expect you to see through it. Ray sighed helplessly.

"Because your eyes betray you. Ray, the fat man is right, you really aren't a liar. ā€

Ray didn't reply, he silently removed the gauze from his right hand, revealing a large patch of fish-scaled skin on the back of his hand.

"How can this be?" Although Joyka was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback, and the calmness on her face disappeared, "Your condition has deteriorated?

"If it were useful, would it still be like this?" said Ray, who could hear that his feelings were very low.

"You mean Sophia's magic ......"

"The toxin has long since adapted to Sister Sophia's magic. These days, I asked her to give me a spell to treat me, but I have been insisting on bandaging my wounds, and that's why. ā€

"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier, we're still companions!" Joyka was annoyed that Ray had hidden his deteriorating condition from everyone.

"Does it help to say it?"

"Ray, when did you become so mother-in-law? If you don't say it, how do you know it's useless? All of us will think of a way to solve it, it's better than being alone in distress. A feeling of "anger and indisputability" crept up in Joyka's heart.

"It can't be solved. With that, Ray grabbed Joyka's hand and pulled it towards his forehead.

"It's so hot!" As soon as her hand touched Ray's forehead, it immediately retracted, and Joyka felt like she had touched a piece of red-hot iron that had just been pulled out of the furnace.

"The most obvious symptom of a person infected with the plague before death is a high fever that does not go away. Remember the woman named Tsvetaeva? She was right, people infected with the plague of the walking dead become walking corpses as the only result. I ......," Lei said, the more agitated he became, "I can't hurt you, it's best to leave this team before I bite you." ā€

"Fart!What do you mean by 'best choice'?

"Joika, I'm ......"

"Shut up! You asked me out and talked all this bullshit. Joyka raised an eyebrow and didn't give Ray any chance to discuss, "Come back with me immediately, let's find Fatty, Sophia, and the others and discuss a solution together." ā€

Anyway, regardless of whether the same person agrees or not, he pulled him up and walked in the direction of the dogs and the sled.

"No!" Ray shook Joika's hand away.

"Enough trouble, idiot!" Joyka didn't want to put this title on a companion she had known since childhood and had experienced life and death, but Ray's stubbornness had made the usually calm bounty hunter angry.

"I know I can't convince you to let me go, but you can't persuade me to go back. Suddenly, Ray's love was no longer excited, but instead became extremely calm, which made Joyka feel an inexplicable chill.

"Ray, could it be that you want to ...... Hey, don't mess around, we're all companions. An ominous premonition swept over Joika, who had probably guessed what Ray was trying to do, and Joika took two steps back, spread her hands, and tried in vain to persuade Ray.

"I'm sorry, but you're the only one who can track me down, so...... That's why I'm inviting you out. Unfortunately, Ray's words confirmed Joika's ominous omen, and it was clear from Ray's tone that he was quite determined.

Joika sighed and shook her head, knowing that this battle between her companions was inevitable......

It's been two hours since the two left. The five battle mages waited impatiently and urged their companions to move many times.

"I'm sorry, can I wait another quarter of an hour? Cassius said with a smile.

"Can't wait any longer, there are often large groups of walking dead in this area. If you don't come back, we'll be gone. "One of the battle mages had a dark face, and the long wait had wiped out their original respect.

Cassius struggled to win a quarter of an hour's precious time.

"What the hell are those two guys doing?" Dani grumbled as Cassius haggled with the five battlemages.

"Are you in danger? Do you want me to go to them?" said the Uzbe.

"No, Joyka and Ray both have magic smoke grenades for distress, and if they are in danger, they will signal it. They have been gone for so long, there must be something very important to discuss. Sophia shook her head.

"Otherwise, I'll stay and wait for the two of them to come back, and Your Highness the princess, you and the others will go to the shelter first. "The loyal knight Leonard raised a building yƬ. His aim was to get the princess into a safe place as much as possible.

But Sophia vetoed his suggestion again: "How can we leave you here alone?

"Sister Sophia, what do you say?" Dany seemed more impatient than the five battle mages.

"What to do?" repeated Sophia in a low voice. At this time, a figure unconsciously appeared in her heart.

If it's you, you'll be able to think of a way. But where are you? Owen.
