Section 06 Without a trace

"Whew...... It's finally here. ”

After nearly an hour of skiing, Chen Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ice that was not covered with snow.

If it weren't for the traces on the snow before that reminded Chen Zheng, he was very sure that he had come from this direction before, otherwise he would have wondered if he had taken the wrong path.

Chen Zheng slowly slid onto the ice, and after taking off the skis, he did not rush to search the surroundings, but first set up the skis and carefully checked whether this shoddy handiwork could still hold up.

Skis and snowboards were related to whether he could return to the camp before noon, so Chen Zheng checked very seriously.

After a careful look from top to bottom, there was nothing wrong with the fact that the contact surface between the board and the snow was slightly frozen.

The first handmade product was so "durable", which made Chen Zheng very gratified.

Carefully place the board on the ice and place it with the poles. Chen Zheng rubbed his somewhat frozen hands and began to inspect the strange bare ice.

In fact, Chen Zheng had noticed it before, and now he squatted down and carefully observed it to confirm his previous thoughts.

Indeed, there is something strange about a bare surface of ice that looks like a "perfect circle", especially in this endless frozen sea.

With the ice surface as the center, the snow surface becomes thicker and thicker the outward direction, and the thickness is very uniform, and the curvature is very natural, so it is certain that this ice surface is by no means artificially cleared, and the snow covering the ice surface looks very much like ...... It's like something sucked it up!

“……”

Chen Zheng stood in silence in the middle of the ice.

"Well, there really aren't any clues......"

Originally, Chen Zheng still had a little expectation, but now he can't find anything suspicious anyway.

It is certainly not an ordinary thing that can make three large living people come to this planet from Earth in an instant, but there is no suspicious place here except for the snow that has been sucked away by some force.

"Forget it, it's important to collect the fabric."

He didn't dwell on it for too long, it was not early at this time, and there were still many things waiting for him in the camp.

The big man who turned into Roshan was wearing the same black suit as Chen Zheng's, both of which were the same style. The black strip of cloth was still very conspicuous lying on the slightly blue ice.

In the past few days, the weather has been very good, there is no wind and no snow, which makes Chen Zheng's collection much easier.

After finding all the rags he could see, Chen Zheng also unexpectedly found a pair of leather shoes that had been torn out.

"That's right! How I didn't remember! ”

Chen Zheng suddenly sounded, and the snot monster he killed should have a pair of leather shoes in the corpse! Since the fabric on their bodies is so high-tech, the leather shoes must be very warm!

I didn't know the benefits of alien technology before, so I only took a whole piece of fabric for backup, and Chen Zheng disliked that the snot monster had worn it, and it had been soaked in "corpse liquid", so he didn't take it at all.

Thinking about it now, Chen Zheng hurriedly ran to the place where the aliens had been killed before.

"Ding......

Suddenly, Chen Zheng seemed to have kicked something.

"Huh? This is...... Pistol!? ”

Chen Zheng held his foot for the time being.

The broken ice and seawater splashed by the big fish on the ground when it broke through the ice had been re-frozen, and between several pieces of broken ice, an inconspicuous black metal was embedded in it, and if it hadn't been accidentally kicked, Chen Zheng wouldn't have even noticed it.

Bending down and buckling off the pistol-like metal half-buried in the ice, Chen Zheng looked at the former semi-automatic pistol and was a little stunned.

The handle of its gun was pinched out of its fingerprints! Metal can even be seen spilling through the gaps between the fingers, as if it was not made of steel, but made of plasticine.

The trigger and the like became a mess, and the original delicate mechanism was all crumbled into a mess by a brute force, and the sleeve was bent by the tremendous force.

After Chen Zheng looked closely, he found that only the barrel was not much deformed, as for the other parts...... Now that there are no tools, the idea of opening the magazine to see the bullets is shattered.

Although the bullets in the shuttle should be pinched like the handle of the gun, Chen Zheng is still a little unwilling.

Hanging a pistol that was more scrap metal than scrap metal on his waist, Chen Zheng came to the place where he killed the jelly alien again, and sure enough, he pulled out a pair of very elegant leather shoes from the snowdrift.

"Uh......"

Looking at the leather shoes that were smaller than his feet, Chen Zheng hesitated slightly, but thinking of the appearance when he wore these "smart fibers" on his body before, he ruthlessly took off his shoes and stuffed his swollen feet into it......

Although it was originally two sizes smaller than Chen Zheng's shoes, after wearing them, it changed with Chen Zheng's foot shape.

“…… It's so moderating...... I didn't expect ......."

Chen Zheng looked at the shiny and reflective black leather shoes on his feet, which were so comfortable to wear on his feet, which was absolutely unthinkable before putting them on.

After wearing new shoes and circling around again, after making sure that nothing was missing, Chen Zheng finally left this original place.

With the arrival of spring, after the ice and snow melt, the evidence that Chen Zheng was once an earthling will also dissipate, leaving only this eternal blue sky still watching here.

Although he had known for a long time that there should be no results, although the new shoes on his feet were comfortable and warm, Chen Zheng, who should have been happy, couldn't smile at all, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

"It's gone, it's not coming."

One last glance at this strange ice surface, I stepped on the snowboard and ran into the distance.

It takes a lot less time to come back than it does to go. On the one hand, Chen Zheng doesn't need to identify the traces from time to time, as long as he follows the traces when he came, and on the other hand, it is also because Chen Zheng's skiing movements are becoming more and more proficient.

At first, I was a little unaccustomed to using these two racket-like poles, and I would bump into them, but after getting used to them, it was much better, and the time to paddle back naturally decreased.

Chen Zheng, who returned to the camp, pulled the embers with a wooden stick, found a piece of dark red charcoal and blew it vigorously......

“…… Call. ”

As the little sparks were blown away by Chen Zheng, the dark red charcoal also rekindled.

Picking up a few scraps and throwing them into the fire, Chen Zheng got some clean snow and put it in a wooden bowl and sandwiched it on the fire.

After a while, the water boiled, and the smoked fish that had been taken away but not eaten was heated by the fire, and a not sumptuous lunch was solved.

After cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Zheng's next plan was to explore the surroundings.

But before that, he still has a few things to prepare. He needed warm gloves and a helmet – and shoes were supposed to be added.
