―On the way to the snowy mountains―

.

"Of course we trust you," Ren Xiang's eyes fluttered as he spoke, and he couldn't concentrate for a moment on the girl Song Beibei. He said, "Let's go, can you take us to the signal tower?" ”

"Follow me, I don't care if I drop." Song Beibei shook her head, turned around and left.

"......" Ren Xiang's actions made several people very puzzled. Maybe it was for the sake of the mission, so I followed her in a daze.

……

"When the infection war broke out that year, I remember that I hope that the snow-capped mountains fell earlier. I was assigned to the World Tree Organization's Task Force. Yuan Neng Warrior detachment, but ...... I was the only one in that detachment who was a Yuan Neng Warrior. ”

The five of them stepped on the grass where the snow was decreasing, and while throwing down the tall grass, they followed Song Beibei and walked straight ahead. In fact, Ren Xiang really didn't pay much attention to this place, so much so that he directly ignored that the front of this fast place was also an almost vertical snow-capped mountain area.

The grass is gradually becoming sparse, and there are some signs of yellowing, which is very magical. On the ground, a wild berry tree struggles tenaciously, slanting into a pile of rubble at the foot of a mountain peak.

Song Beibei always looks up when she walks. She also ignored the gravel on the winding path under her feet, and walked with ease and ease.

And the afterimage followed her closely, and at this time, he felt a very inexplicable feeling in his heart. I couldn't say it, but I realized that Ren Xiang just wanted to take them and quickly complete the task of dismantling the signal tower assigned by the battalion commander.

"When I came, I remember the T3X-armed transport plane."

Song Beibei gently turned her cheeks to the half-forgotten memories of the past, and the stone peak with missile scratches seemed to open the door to the memories of the past. When she said the word "transport plane" at the end, her tongue was obviously knotted, so that people could hear that she was struggling to speak, and she didn't feel straight.

Wu Xiaoxuan, who was walking at the back, laughed easily when he heard it.

"Huh?" After hearing the sound, Yu Qing quickly raised his brows, turned around and glared at Wu Xiaoxuan fiercely.

"Uh...... I've heard that those transport planes have now been retired in the World Tree because they have eight or nine generations of air transport to replace them. Ren Xiang explained in a long voice in a heavy bass. He raised his head and carefully observed Song Beibei's back.

"Oh, how many years was it decommissioned?" Song Beibei lowered her head and sighed, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Probably in the fourth year of the Infection War." Ren Xiang thought for a while before answering.

"Well, it's really nostalgic," Song Beibei's voice was obviously dissatisfied, and he spat out the air of speech on the ground. She looked up again and tossed her long hair over her shoulders that hung over her collarbone. "I've been asleep for nine years in the blink of an eye, but everything here is still like before. It doesn't feel the same, but it feels like it's changed a lot. ”

When she speaks, she speaks very quickly, and her voice is crisp, which makes people very accustomed to listening.

"Okay, what a contradiction." The afterimage who walked next to Song Beibei chirped. He blinked his eyes slightly uneasily, and when he walked, he kept focusing on Song Beibei's face, almost ignoring his feet.

"Contradictions? Hehe, I'm just feeling it in my heart...... There's a lot missing......" Song Beibei turned her face to look at the afterimage.

Every time she and the afterimage talk casually, they are actually said so carefully. When talking to the afterimage, she behaved very respectfully. And this can only be seen by the afterimage himself.

"What's that?" The afterimage listened carefully and asked calmly.

"It's like people." Song Beibei replied without thinking.

One word, which sounds very esoteric, but in fact has no meaning - it is pure nonsense.

"Huh?"

She continued her words above: "The world of that year defined many monsters whose prototypes could not be determined due to infection and mutation, collectively known as unknown creatures (1). ”

"Speaking of unidentified creatures, we met this one yesterday afternoon." Yu Qing interrupted with a loud voice.

"Oh, what is it?" Song Beibei turned her head to look at him and asked.

"Yes...... It's ......"

"It's Unknown Creature No. 029. Death Wings. Ren Xiang replied quickly instead of Yuqing.

"The monster?" After Song Beibei heard this, his tone suddenly became very cold.

"What's wrong?" Ren Xiang asked her.

Song Beibei slowed down slightly. It can be seen that her mood has undergone an unpredictable change at this moment. The joy in the deep eyes disappeared, revealing a faint, helpless sadness.

"That's it, trapped me in the ice."

"What? Damn ......"

"The defense mission back then was very difficult, and ordinary zombie infected people were okay to say, but most of the time it was because of that unknown creature, it was really difficult to deal with."

"Yesterday it came and attacked us, but then it flew away...... I haven't seen it yet. Yuqing said.

"yes, it's because it can fly that my icicle can't hit it, so I'm going to have to be passive - they're all dead." Song Beibei's sudden turn made a sharp turn, and she suddenly stopped after she finished speaking.

Everyone was startled, and they hurriedly followed the brake without knowing what was going on.

"Ah, everything is dead?" The Remnant lifted his heavy backpack, and behind him was a huge stone wall.

"Tsk." Yu Qing on the side smacked his lips at the afterimage with obvious dissatisfaction, as if to warn him not to talk nonsense if he didn't know how to talk.

"Forehead......" The afterimage glanced at Yu Qing secretly, and had to obediently close his mouth. At this moment, he had just realized the recklessness of his behavior, so he shouldn't have spoken.

"Death-" Song Beibei's face turned very pale, and she seemed to be forcing her emotions when she spoke, not letting her sad eyes burst out. "Many of us died at its hands, including my captain Su Han, who also ......"

"Su Han? Feed! Which Su Han? Ren Xiang was taken aback, and asked urgently.

Song Beibei raised her sad eyes and threw them on Ren Xiang's excited face to probe. She thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to the side to look at the afterimage before answering him, "Which one else could it be?" It was Su Han, who commanded the 313 Special Operations Army and the Yuanneng Warrior Detachment, who was famous. ”

"Ahh Ren Xiang screamed.

"Captain, what's wrong?" They stared at Ren Xiang in confusion, and at the same time turned their gaze to Song Beibei until they became more and more confused.

"It's him," Ren Xiang nodded emotionally, turned his eyes and said to the crowd, "He is the human hero I once told you about in the camp. ”
