Chapter 103: The Meaning of Happiness
Early the next morning, Lin Mo opened the entrance to the cave, quietly climbed the tree, and looked around, the visibility was getting lower and lower.
He had a bad feeling that visibility was getting lower and lower, which meant more fog, and when he first came in, he had visibility of 100 meters, but now it's only about 70 meters.
He looked at it for a while, and after making sure that there was no one or Zerg around, he jumped off the tree.
There are some footprints on the ground, in addition to the Zerg and humans, of course he is not alone, he took a closer look, there should be more than a dozen.
"The icebreaker is coming." Lin Mo looked at it for a while, and Mona walked out.
"Brother Heitu."
"You're so affectionate, it's like it's my own sister." Lin Mo stood up.
Mona said, "Then do you have a sister?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head: "I don't, I'm an only child." ”
"Like me, then treat me as a sister." Mona smiled and put on her mask.
Lin Mo said: "Why are you wearing this thing. ”
Mona said: "I don't want others to see it, I prefer to be mysterious, but you saw it yesterday, so you have to protect me." ”
Lin Mo smiled politely, "Then let's go, I can't go back for the time being, if I meet someone from our base, I will hand you over to them." ”
Mona nodded with a hint of loss in her eyes.
They walked for a while, and the fog around them was too thick to see. Lin Mo was cautious, sensing the movement around him, the quieter he was, the more uneasy he became.
There were icebreaker footprints before, so it was easy to encounter, and the base was going to expand the area, and more and more icebreakers would enter here. This is a good thing, and it is also an opportunity, Lin Mo has to deal with Mona's affairs before he can do more.
In fact, Lin Mo was still a little puzzled.
Mona's companions are all dead, and she easily got out of that emotion, normally her best friend died tragically, where would it be so easy to come out.
Along the way, he carefully observed Mona, and did not find Mona's sadness, but some happiness.
This kind of emotional change is too fast and not normal, but maybe Mona's character is like this, and Lin Mo can't doubt Mona based on this.
Besides, what do you suspect......
There's nothing worth targeting.
Lin Mo smiled distressedly, and the two came to a glacier.
The big river has been frozen, the river is spacious, and the trees on the opposite bank are tall, and if it were not frozen by ice and snow, it should be beautiful.
Mona said: "The river is frozen, you can't see green, nature is white, the whole world is white, and the pale color is not exciting at all." ”
Lin Mo said: "What do you want to do so much, this is the Ice Oxygen Period." ”
"That's right, the Ice Oxygen Period, an era should have the characteristics of an era." Mona said something inexplicable and stepped on the surface of the river.
The ice is very thick, so there is no need to worry about collapsing, and besides, the river should be frozen, and the collapse is just another hole.
Mona jumped happily, and her laughter was crisp and moving, like a bird out of the cage, feeling the joy of freedom.
Lin Mo saw Mona's happiness, it was heartfelt happiness, there was no concealment, no deliberateness.
Hasn't she ever had such freedom?
Lin Mo sat down on the side and watched Mona jump and spin on the glacier as if she was dancing. Her joy infected Lin Mo, he was rarely so happy, he couldn't help laughing at the moment, sweeping away all the gloom, only the beauty of this moment remained.
The good is temporary.
Lin Mo heard footsteps, and he immediately pulled Mona across the glacier and into the tall and dense forest area.
After a while, a group of Zerg came.
Mona's heart pounded.
Lin Mo said: "The first-level zerg is not a combination, cannon fodder bugs. ”
"Cannon fodder?" Mona said suspiciously.
Lin Mo said: "Yes, the current combination is the basic combat force of the Zerg, and the first-level insects are just going to probe the situation and send them to death." ”
"Is that so?" Mona nodded.
There were not many of them, about a hundred, and there were different species, including praying mantises, grasshoppers, and a few ants. They may have smelled Mona's scent, and she had just whirled and danced on the glacier, drawing the attention of the surrounding swarm.
However, the Zerg did not cross the river, but only chattered on the shore for a while, and then left.
Lin Mo said: "They can't be a river? ”
Mona also said: "Yes, didn't you say that the Zerg have a strong ability to track smells?" ”
Lin Mo deliberately sniffed, but he didn't feel any smell on Mona's body, it stands to reason that a normal person must have some smell on his body, but Mona doesn't have it. He even had a feeling that Mona behind him didn't exist, even if Mona was behind him, but he didn't have that feeling that there was someone behind him.
Icebreakers have a very sensitive sense of smell, needless to say, Lin Mo's sensing ability is stronger than that of ordinary icebreakers, but he still can't detect Mona's presence.
No wonder the Zerg didn't chase after him, but on the other hand, Lin Mo himself didn't seem to have these breaths.
He dragged Mona into the depths of the jungle, surrounded by frozen weeds, which shattered a lot of ice grass with every step.
"Wait a minute." Lin Mo stopped, there was too much movement going on like this, if there were Zerg or icebreakers, it would be easy to be exposed.
Mona stopped, she looked at Lin Mo with some curiosity in her eyes. But in the deepest part of the curiosity, there was a trace of cunning and coldness, and her complicated eyes flashed, her voice changed, and she asked a little delicately: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Mo didn't hear the change in her voice, and said, "It's very risky for us to walk like this, I haven't been to this area, and there are no paths around, no one or insects have ever walked it." ”
"It's a wild place." Mona said.
"Then since this is the case, the Zerg has not walked through, so it must be safe."
Lin Mo said: "That's what I said, but it's not a bad thing to be careful. ”
"You are so strong, why are you still so careful, the strong are always strong, isn't this what you Chinese said?"
Lin Mo said: "Where am I strong." ”
"You are very strong, my companions are dead, only you can run, and you can run with me." Mona's tone became adoring again.
Lin Mo heard it now, and he didn't want to dwell on Mona's emotional changes, so he said: "That's because your companions are dragging them, otherwise we won't be able to run away, are the dozens of combinations a joke?" ”
Mona stuck out her tongue: "Oh too." ”
"Alright, I'll open the way ahead, and you follow me." Lin Mo brushed aside the ice grass and walked forward.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly some voices came from ahead.
Lin Mo immediately stopped, and Mona said, "It seems that there is someone." ”
Lin Mo said: "It's not like, it's there." ”
The two of them lay on the ground, and the voice came from the left, little by little. The sound is very mixed, and the language is very strange, not Zerg, but not American or Chinese.
"It's not bugs, it's humans." Mona said.
Lin Mo said: "It's not your people, and it's not ours. ”
"Who is that?"
"Why are you so good at complimenting?" Lin Mo almost shouted.
"I don't know who it is, just wait and see." Lin Mo stared to the left, and his voice gradually approached.
At this moment, a voice was also heard from the right, the sound of plucking the ice grass.
"You see, even if you don't speak, the grass here is so dense that you can make a sound just by touching it, it's too quiet, and the sound can travel far away." Lin Mo said in a low voice.
Mona nodded and bit Lin Mo's ear: "I know." ”
The two sides are getting closer.
Lin Mo and Mona were caught in the middle, motionless.
Lin Mo was very calm, after all, he had experienced some storms and waves, and he was completely calm, but it was really rare for Mona to be so quiet.
He glanced back at Mona, she was also looking at Lin Mo, the two looked at each other, and Mona's eyes smiled.
"You love to laugh so much?"
"I don't."
"Your eyes."
"Really? Love to smile eyes, do you feel it? ”
"Yes." Lin Mo didn't dare to look at it more, these eyes were really flattering.
Mona chuckled quietly.
What is it that makes her so fickle? What is it that allows her to come out of her grief so quickly, and what is it that makes her feel like a sunflower full of sunshine to all this.
Lin Mo doesn't understand, or rather, his life experience, he won't understand.
He can't enjoy this kind of emotion, he doesn't live freely, he doesn't understand the meaning of happiness.
The person on the left of the ".............................." approached as he spoke, Lin Mo had already seen the ice grass shaking, and at the same time, the sound of the plucking on the right also stopped at this moment.
The speakers were suddenly silenced.
All of a sudden, it became so quiet.
Mona swallowed and looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo made a shush gesture.
There was a hint of tension in the air, Lin Mo's hand loosened slightly, and Mona held him.
