―Foothill woodland―

.

"So, this is the ...... you carried me and Xiao Xuan behind your back and took the afterimage to break the ice."

"What?"

"Yes, yes...... Well, great idea! ”

"Ahh

When Ren Xiang and Yu Qing stood on the big rock that stretched into the glacier river with one arm in their arms and one hand on their waists to talk, the time had already come to the early morning of the next day.

The dazzling rays of the sun peeked out from the back of the mountain, and the sunlight passed through the tall and straight trees, making the entire woodland at the foot of the mountain seem to be covered with a transparent mist-white veil.

But the temperature of the air is still very low......

The green grass on the ground is covered with a thick layer of pure white frost, which always gives people the illusion that this is the weather of early winter.

Throughout the year, only summer is getting less and less.

And on the slope where the four of them were originally standing and looking at the glacier, there were Afterimage and Wu Xiaoxuan sitting cross-legged, as well as Song Beibei, a girl who was eating hot canned food.

When she eats, she doesn't care about her image, she keeps her head and doesn't care about the people around her, so that the hair on her shoulders hangs down. "Whoa, whoa......"

Kaka-Wu Xiaoxuan took out the bandaged rifle module from his backpack, and then took out the detachable butt, barrel, optical sight and a row of magazine strips......

"It's good to have a spare one." Wu Xiaoxuan shook his head and smacked his lips, and began to assemble this ACR assault rifle.

The afterimage raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Xiaoxuan slightly. He slammed the butt of his rifle together, then unwrapped it from his backpack and took out a new flat magazine and fastened it.

"Hah, it's finally assembled." Wu Xiaoxuan raised his head excitedly and collided with the stunned eyes of the afterimage.

"What's that, Brother Xiao Xuan?" The afterimage asked without knowing his name.

"This is ACR, look at it."

As he spoke, Wu Xiaoxuan directly threw the ACR in his hand to the afterimage. The afterimage reacted suddenly, and it was only after bowing his waist and raising his hand in a panic that he caught it, which was considered to be in danger.

"Hey, hey."

Wu Xiaoxuan immediately turned his attention away and turned to Song Beibei. He stared at the two empty cans on the ground, and when she was already holding the can in her hand, his face suddenly pulled down.

At this time, Ren Xiang and Yuqing walked back one after the other. sat on the ground, and then looked at Song Beibei, who was eating canned food with his mouth in the bar.

"Whoa, whoa...... Let's ......."

Yu Qing's brows were straightened, and he threw himself at Wu Xiaoxuan on the one hand, and at the afterimage and Ren Xiang on the other, and the four of them shut up in the face of this scene.

In fact, among them, only the afterimage was the most confused and confused. He suddenly lit up his palms as if he was in the middle of a second illness, thinking that there would be some special pattern printed on it.

"I'm done!"

"Huh?" The afterimage raised his head and turned to Song Beibei in disappointment.

"Oh?" Ren Xiang raised his chin slightly.

"What?" Wu Xiaoxuan hummed strangely.

"......" Yuqing's straight brow calmed down a little at this time.

Song Beibei said it very cheerfully, but when she raised her head, she still had that empty, tired and quite coping look on her face.

"Time is pressing, let's hurry up, we can't delay a moment in the woodland."

Song Beibei seems to have melted into this nominal death squad. She got up and walked to the east of the woodland at the foot of the mountain, or stopped when she realized that no one was following her.

The four of them stood up reluctantly, hurriedly cleaning up the ground, not wanting to leave a little bit of garbage here. In short, her integration felt weird and unaccustomed.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you come with me? Song Beibei turned around and asked calmly with a somewhat confused expression.

At the last moment of her words, she cast her eyes heavily on the face of the afterimage. And the afterimage was also staring back at her in a daze.

"That...... What's your name? ”

"Song Beibei."

Yu Qing nodded, raised one hand idlely, didn't know where to put it, pulled the brim of the helmet, and gestured in the air before putting it down.

"Yes, yes. Song Beibei...... Don't you think, it's weird? ”

"What's so strange?" Song Beibei tilted her head slightly, looked at Yuqing and asked seriously.

"Is that you?" Yuqing suddenly stopped talking as he spoke. He kept gesturing with his hands in the air, unable to figure out how to express it.

"What am I, huh?" Song Beibei's eyes glanced at his face suspiciously, quickly catching every subtle change in his face.

"Hmm...... That is, how can this be believed? Yu Qing lowered his voice and twisted his face to the side.

The afterimage watched them silently, his eyes blinking.

"You don't trust me, I told you all night? I? ”

"Beibei, let me ask you," the person who said this was Ren Xiang, and his role in answering the call on the spot was to cover up Yuqing's embarrassment at this time. "You've ......"

"Don't give me those useless." Song Beibei silently skimmed her eyes and looked at Ren Xiang's face. Dissatisfied, he said angrily:

"Since you don't want to trust it, forget it, it just so happens that I have other things to do—Afterimage, let's go!"

"Huh?" The afterimage who stood on the side and watched the stunned innocent lying gun, and suddenly came to his senses. He stared at the beads in shock, looking uneasily.

As he spoke, Song Beibei walked back quickly and reached out to pull the afterimage, but was thrown away by the afterimage and retreated.

"What?" Song Beibei snorted angrily, looking at the afterimage with a fierce light. "What do you mean?"

"I, I, I and they are, are a ......"

"So, you don't want to look for a cell tower anymore, do you?" Song Beibei's face smiled as if relieved, and she clenched her hands into fists excitedly, almost as if she was going to smash it into the face of the afterimage.

"Do you know where the towers are?"

Ren Xiang took a step forward. And carefully analyzed this very emotional girl from the bottom of her heart, and began to try to talk to her emotional changes.

"Of course I do. If it's still in that position, it's estimated to be eleven years old. When Song Beibei turned her head as she spoke, the hair on her front shoulders also flicked.

At this time, Ren Xiang was thinking in his heart: a signal energy storage tower that was once built by humans could stand in such a grim environment for more than ten years without falling......

Wu Xiaoxuan, who was on the side, carried Tavol on his shoulders and dragged the brand new ACR in his hand. He listened to the conversation of several people, and never smiled straight at each other.
