228 penguins
For the first time in Xi Changhe's life, he found that his running speed was so slow that he couldn't even compare to penguins.
After persisting for more than twenty minutes, the first penguin successfully overtook Xi Changhe, and it looked back at the human running behind him a few times, as if it was the first time to see such a strange-looking creature.
Soon, the second and third penguins also passed by Xi Changhe's body, so indifferent that they didn't even bother to throw a look.
Xi Changhe had an ominous premonition, his heart was cold, and he turned back coldly. Sure enough, the snow behind him was already full of flocks of penguins!
A distraction, Xi Changhe didn't know what hard object he stepped on at his feet, and the whole person slammed into the ground. Shi Yi immediately pulled the mechanical arm out of Xi Changhe's hand and took a few steps back, for fear that Xi Changhe would borrow himself as a new support point.
"Sss After Xi Changhe fell, his face was buried in the snow, and he was so cold that he gasped. As soon as he looked up, many penguins began to run to him because they noticed obvious movements, "Butler, help!" โ
Xi Changhe somehow remembered the picture of the butler opening a cannon to cut off the iceberg before, since he was so rigidโญ(ยฐAยฐ')โฎ, it would definitely not be a problem to block a small penguin...... Right?
However, what Xi Changhe didn't expect was that Shi Yi was only in the mood to watch a play at this time, and saw that he was standing straight in place, the corners of his mouth still raised high.
"Don't die without help!"
Xi Changhe, who was almost crying, hurriedly held his head in his hands and curled up his body into a small ball, trying to mitigate the damage that the penguin was about to cause.
The little penguins twisted their butts to surround Xi Changhe in the middle, and their pointed beaks tentatively touched Xi Changhe's back and head, and after making sure that there was no danger, they suddenly lost interest and turned around and left.
In fact, this group of penguins running wild in a group was not interested in Xi Changhe and the two, but it was just a chance encounter on the way. Later, the penguin colony simply chose another opposite route to advance, leaving Xi Changhe and Shi Yi behind.
"Scared the hell out of me." Xi Changhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the snow without caring at all, looked up and saw the stars in the sky, and suddenly a subtle sense of rebirth after the catastrophe suddenly rose in his heart, "It's so beautiful." โ
Shi Yi stood behind him and looked up, as if he couldn't understand what it felt like to be 'beautiful' in human mouths.
"Butler, how long will my protective suit last?" When Xi Changhe raised his head, his gaze went straight to the strange mechanical face of the butler, and he couldn't figure out why a high-IQ robot like the butler still looked so ...... Naive.
"2 hours and 1 minute." Shi Yi said calmly.
"What!" Xi Changhe sat up in shock, "Am I going to freeze soon?" โ
"yes."
"......" Xi Changhe excitedly wanted to say something, but snowflakes fell in the sky again, and the clear night sky he had just seen seemed to be just a wonderful dream.
The chill passed to Xi Changhe through the isolation suit, and he couldn't help but shiver: "Tube, housekeeper, it's so cold, let's go back quickly." โ
Shi Yi glanced at Xi Changhe and nodded helplessly, they had walked so far, but they still found nothing, and it was a shame.
He suddenly had some doubts about the authenticity of the historical records, how could he not imagine how this weak and helpless human being in front of him could be Marshal Xi who supported most of the Star Yuan Era?
"You can run a physical technique to keep warm." Shi Yi rarely showed kindness and decided to give Xi Changhe a little guidance.
"No, no, hiss, I, it feels like mine, my muscles are frozen, whew, I can't move." Xi Changhe's teeth began to tremble as he spoke, and thin ice crystals gradually formed on the isolation suit.
Shi Yi frowned and fell into deep reflection, since the human race is so weak, it took him more than thirty years to successfully capture the Emperor Star? Is it because he is not capable enough?
"Don't worry too much about me." Xi Changhe misunderstood Shi Yi because he was worried, and comforted, "I can still persevere." โ
"Who cares about you anymore." Shi Yi was inexplicable.
Xi Changhe showed an expression of 'I know everything', everyone lives and dies together, what is there to be embarrassed to say if you care.
"Butler, if I can leave the South Pole alive this time, I will go and sign up for the 'Earth Alliance Mecha Joint Competition' in a year's time. It is said that the reward for the first place is the most handsome robot body in the whole interstellar. Xi Changhe gasped as he walked, even if his whole body was numb, what was even more unbearable was the continuous tingling, "It must be suitable for you." โ
Shi Yi's attention was attracted, and he couldn't help but make a small calculation in his heart, although the most handsome robot in this era may not be as good-looking as his original body, but at least it is much better than his current state, right?
He fought for it?
"It's too weak, you better find a way to convince 'Xi Luo' to participate." Shi Yi really couldn't let go of Xi Changhe.
Xi Changhe limped forward, and at the same time sighed faintly: "...... Can't you allow me to imagine myself 'winning the first place'? Also, if I go to persuade Xi Luo to participate in the competition, will she participate? Besides, since she has run away from home, she will definitely try her best to hide her identity...... She's still my creditor......"
"You're too weak." Shi Yi repeated it tirelessly.
"There's still a year to go, and maybe a miracle will happen." Xi Changhe added unwillingly, "Xi Luo will definitely teach me." โ
Shi Yileng snorted: "Oh? Then why do you think your creditor will be so kind to you, arranging for robots to protect you, and at the same time teaching you various skills, trying to make you have the ability to protect yourself? โ
Xi Changhe really thought crookedly, and his face began to feel sad again: "She doesn't want my genes too, is the talent of 3s really that important?" God, her mother is trying to force her to marry me! โ
"Huh." Shi Yi's voice was full of mockery.
"Butler, are we lost, how do I feel walking around, or standing still." Xi Changhe looked around innocently, and the signal of the navigator began to flicker at some point, and he couldn't see the specific route clearly.
"How do I know?"
As soon as Shi Yi's words fell, the snow peak next to him suddenly shook, and a few seconds later, the thick snow at the highest point began to fall frantically to the ground.
"Let's go." Shi Yi's expression changed slightly, and combined with the problem with the navigation signal, he seemed to smell danger.
"No, I can't run." The pain on Xi Changhe's face was not like a disguise, and he was gritting his teeth with perseverance.
In the short moments of their conversation, more and heavier snowflakes fell from the summit, and then the entire slope began to disintegrate and collapse at a rapid speed.
However, the first to be buried was probably Xi Changhe, who was in a dilemma......
It's over!
Xi Changhe gave himself a moment of silence in his heart.
"Idiot, quickly open your mental power net, as much pressure as you can block!" Shi Yi said angrily.
