Chapter Seventy-Four: Paranoia
There was a clerical error in the previous chapter, and the dust break was C-level first, not B-level first, which has been corrected. www.biquge.info In addition, the starting point exploded today, and I haven't been able to log in, and I'm sorry for the late update.
The following is the text.
…………
Broken dust?
What a strange name.
Chen Si couldn't help but glance at the young man a few more times, the other party looked too young, it was incredible that he became the first in the C level at such a young age.
He turned on the communicator, logged in to the hunter forum, and on the C-level hunter rankings, he saw Broken Dust's avatar hanging high in the first place, and his points far exceeded the second place.
He checked Mi Yu's ranking, she was recently promoted to a C-rank hunter, ranking 1480.
"This Broken Dust is only 20 years old this year, and he has just been promoted to a solid-level martial artist, and in terms of combat effectiveness alone, he is already comparable to many B-level hunters."
Mi Yu lowered his voice very low, and his expression showed a bit of admiration, "For martial artists, the solid level is a difficult threshold. I didn't really want to hit the solid state in this retreat, I just tried the water first, and the morphological transition from liquid to solid state was not achieved overnight, but was a long process, and it took two or three years at the shortest. In other words, this Broken Dust was able to cultivate to a solid state at the age of 20, which means that he had reached the peak of the liquid level before the age of 18, and since then he has been impacting the solid state level. ”
"Terrible."
When Chen Si heard this, his heart froze.
He is 18 years old this year, and he only has gaseous level peak strength, which is far worse than when he was 18 years old.
First one Qin Ziyou, then another Broken Dust, Chen Si saw the two geniuses in one day, and also realized the gap between himself and these real geniuses.
"You'd better stay away from him and don't provoke him, for I've heard that this man is very domineering and a madman."
Chen Si's communicator vibrate, but it was Mi Yu who sent him a text message.
"I'll take notice."
Chen Si nodded.
In the space of three minutes, the aircraft teleported twice and arrived at Mengshi on the northern border of China. It then left the city of Mongol and headed for Siberia, where it began a flight that lasted several hours.
Chen Si looked through the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The sky was a dull gray, as if it had been blown by a black storm, presenting a chaotic scene. The earth is endless, the ground is full of cracks, from north to south, from west to east, a few meters long, a dozen meters long, even hundreds of meters long - these are the land cracked by the severe cold.
The barren land is occasionally dotted with a few black coniferous forests, as well as frozen round patchy lakes.
It's hard to imagine how cold it is.
However, Chen Si soon discovered that the colder ones were still to come.
As we went deeper into Siberia, outside the window, it began to snow.
Under the gray sky, the wind and snow are combined, and the whole land is white, white, white, except white or white, there will be no change.
Siberia was once a magnificent place, with forests, grasslands, lakes, streams, and snow-capped mountains. On the land, there are also herds of running elk and foraging brown bears.
Now, however, the land has completely turned into a white world, covered by heavy snow and ubiquitous glaciers, making people suspect that this is no longer on Earth, but an ice and snow hell connected to another world.
All of this was caused by the Great War 80 years ago.
Nuclear radiation after a nuclear explosion can only last for a few years or decades.
However, the Hunters' Association, led by Qin Wanxiong, fought against the SSS-class White Terror, but almost permanently changed the landscape and climate of Siberia, and it will not recover for hundreds of years.
It is not an exaggeration to describe that battle as earth-shattering.
Bang!
At this moment, Chen Si felt his body sink and looked out of the porthole, and it turned out that the aircraft had landed.
Woooooo
As soon as the hatch opened, a biting cold wind blew in their faces, and everyone shivered.
"It's finally here."
Chen Si unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, and got off the plane with everyone.
However, what Chen Si didn't expect, Qin Ziyou, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned around, glanced at him, and said lightly, "I advise you not to go down." ”
"Why?" Chen Si was stunned.
"Ziyou, what's wrong?"
When Qin Ji and the others heard this, they also stopped.
"The temperature outside the cabin is below -80 °C, and the cold wind is as sharp as a knife, which can cut through the skin of ordinary people in an instant. Only liquid-level warriors can wrap their bodies with primordial elements to fight against wind and snow. Martial artists below the liquid level will not survive for more than a minute. ”
Qin Ziyou's voice was cold.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and almost forgot that among the more than 100 people on this trip, only Chen Si was gaseous. And gas-level martial artists can't survive in Siberia, it's common sense.
"Thank you."
Chen Si thanked her.
"No thanks."
Qin Zi's cold eyes did not reveal any emotion.
But Chen Si could see that she was the kind of girl who was indifferent on the outside, but very careful on the inside, and the details that no one noticed were noticed by her.
If Chen Si was an ordinary gas-level martial artist, then there was a real possibility of tragedy.
"Chen Si, or ......"
Ora hesitated for a moment, and for the sake of Chen Si's safety, he finally suggested, "You can stay in the cabin for the time being." ”
"Dad, don't underestimate him."
Before Chen Si could speak, Mi Yu said quietly on the side, "Someone is hiding deeply." ”
In the end, Chen Si walked out of the cabin with everyone.
It's cold, it's so cold that it's desperate.
This was Chen Si's first feeling about this place after he set foot on the land of Siberia.
Although wearing a man-made fiber clothing with excellent heat retention, Chen Si still felt like he was naked. The body is in general, exposed to the cold wind and snow, cold to the bones, and every cell is shaking desperately.
After the cold, it hurts.
In less than a minute, Chen Si's hands stiffened, and his ten fingers were in sharp pain, like being pricked by a needle. My feet gradually became intangible, and my toes and heels seemed to become ice lumps, as if they would fall off if I stomped them hard.
Needless to say, the face is exposed. The eyelashes are directly frozen; It's itchy inside the nose because of the frost; His lips were almost frozen and cracked, and when he exhaled, the water vapor instantly solidified in the air, and he didn't dare to inhale again, for fear that he would take a breath of cold air in and freeze himself to death.
If it is an ordinary person, in such an extremely cold environment, it only takes a minute, and he can no longer walk, and he will directly freeze into an ice sculpture.
Whoa!
In Chen Si's body, the sea of swastika qi rotated, and a massive amount of original qi flowed to the limbs along with the blood, especially the joints and nerve endings of the body.
Gradually, he regained consciousness and was able to move freely as usual.
Qin Ziyou looked at Chen Si thoughtfully, frowning slightly.
I don't know why, at some point just now, she seemed to sense a familiar aura from him...... On her face, which had been as cold as ice, there was finally a hint of surprise and doubt.
On the other side, the soldiers had already set up a camp quickly, standing guard and guarding around it, and in the tent in the center of the camp, Ou La, Lu Guanzhi, Qin Ji and two S-class, a total of five people, had a meeting.
"According to the latitude and longitude recorded in the data, this is the last place where President Qin Wanxiong and others stayed before the Great War with the White Terror. This is also the only information we know. ”
Euler's expression was solemn and he turned on the three-dimensional map projection.
Siberia, which covers an area of more than 12 million square kilometers, is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to search for the bones of more than 100 martyrs who died 80 years ago.
Although this operation is equipped with a large number of high-tech detection instruments, led by Ora and Lu Guanzhi, there are two S-class fathers and daughters, Yang Zhen and Yang Biyun, to help at any time, and the lineup can be called luxurious.
But in the end, the success rate of the mission is probably still less than 50%.
This is very clear to everyone.
In the following hours, several people fell into a heated discussion, speculating about the area where the battle might have taken place that year, delineating the general range, and planning the route of the exploration......
At the same time, outside the camp.
Broken Dust suddenly left the team, and walked alone into the ice and snow.
He took off his shoes, stepped barefoot on the snow, and put his hands together on his forehead, mouth, and chest.
Then, he knelt down and lay directly on the ground, his hands stretched forward, and his forehead touched the ground.
Then he stood up again, repeated the previous movement, folded his hands, and then lay down, stood up, and lay down...... Just like that, little by little, in the snow.
Like a pilgrim.
The most surprising thing is that in the process, he did not use his original energy, but used his body to fight against the cold ice and snow.
His face was covered with white frost, his eyelids were frozen together, his eyes couldn't be opened, and the skin all over his body was dark blue, which was a sign of poor blood.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters.
The dust gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
"It's terrible willpower."
Chen Si looked at the back of Broken Dust far away, and his heart was shocked, in his Tianyan's observation, the heat of Broken Dust's body had lost a lot, and other people would have fallen down a long time ago, but he could actually hold on with his will.
Is this a way to exercise willpower?
This kind of person is too ruthless to himself, and he is completely cultivating with his life.
"He's a madman."
Mi Yu muttered, "Now, I'm more and more convinced of those rumors. ”
"What rumors?" Chen Si was curious.
It is said that this person was born different from others, and he was enlightened and saw through the red dust. He ran away from home when he was a child, wandered for several years, slept on thorns and cow dung, witnessed birth, old age, sickness and death, and tasted the suffering of the world. After he embarked on the path of martial arts at the age of fifteen, he completely cut off ties with his family, and his father was seriously ill and dying, and no matter how much his family pleaded, he did not go back to see him. And he also underwent sterilization and vowed not to marry a wife or have children for the rest of his life.
Money, power, women, materialism...... All kinds of temptations in the world are like dung to him. These things that others rush to see, in his opinion, will only damage the spirit and waste life.
Breaking the dust, you don't need a title, one name is enough to say everything. He renamed himself Broken Dust, probably to completely cut off the edge of the dust. ”
Mi Yu sighed, "Perhaps, it is not appropriate to describe him as a madman, and it is more appropriate to use the word paranoia." ”
"Paranoid ......"
When Chen Si heard this, he was finally able to understand why Broken Dust's willpower was so strong.
Ordinary people, their strength comes from family and affection, from love and responsibility. Many warriors fought to protect their families and fight for the faith in their hearts.
And once their lover dies and their faith collapses, they will be hit hard, lose the motivation to move forward and even the courage to live, and they will fall into disarray.
But Broken Dust's strength comes entirely from his own willpower.
Such a person is the most terrible, because for him everything can be abandoned. Since everything can be discarded, there is no weakness.
He is always fanatical, always determined, and will not be shaken by anyone or anything.
It's fitting to say he's paranoid.
