Snow Scars sat on the edge of a cliff overgrown with flowers. The fog dissipated, and the whole flower garden was no longer as beautiful and quiet as heaven, and the flowers of the cliff brought a bit of heroic ends, and the beauty was bleak in the twilight.

The bracelet on his hand lit up and lit up, as if to remind him of the imminence of death.

Mother is in danger, and if, according to Nianshi, he only has three days, he must decide to venture back to the village and rescue his mother, but before that, he must first deal with the bomb in his hand.

Snow Mark grabbed the bracelet with his right hand and pulled it down desperately, but the bracelet was stuck in his hand and couldn't be removed.

At this time, the bracelet suddenly made a dripping sound. The snow marks were so frightened that they almost fell off a cliff.

The bracelet didn't explode, just the number on it changed from "8" to "7".

Xue Zhen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gradually calmed down.

Judging from the reaction of the young man who claimed to be a teacher, this bracelet was not his doing, so who could it be? The first thing that came to Xuejin's mind was the beginning of this series of events, the initiator, the mysterious mastermind hidden among the villagers.

He put this bracelet on himself because he wanted to torture himself in this way of slow death, and he must have waited for his mental breakdown to appear and threaten himself. It's an ordeal, and watching a bomb explode in your hand and not being able to do anything about it can break most people.

Or, he just wanted to watch himself have a nervous breakdown in a panic and be blown up in the crash. The person who put this bracelet bomb on himself is very insidious and vicious, and it is hard to say that it is the same person who framed himself in the barn.

Even, the danger that his mother encountered, it is possible that he is playing ghosts.

The thought of the wrongs he had suffered by being framed as the "son of the devil", and the fact that the bomb might have something to do with the person behind the murder that Snow Scar hated so much, gradually replaced his fear with anger.

Snow Scar gritted his teeth, and a ruthlessness arose in his heart.

No matter what the other person's purpose is, but to think that you can blackmail yourself in this way? That's so naïve!

Wolves in the jungle will not hesitate to bite off their legs to escape when they are caught in the traps of hunters. Snowmark is more resolute than a wolf!

Since breaking the bracelet can trigger an explosion, then ...... Defuse the bomb in other ways!

He pulled out an iron knife from his leggings and held it high. It was his homemade rudimentary weapon, sharpened by him, and in the ambush on the hillside, he used this iron blade to make darts, reaping the lives of both of them.

To dismantle the bomb, it's actually very simple, isn't it just a ring?

Although he wasted one hand, he didn't have to die if he lost the car to protect his handsomeness.

Besides, in fact, as long as the thumb is cut off, the bracelet can be removed from the hand. Ha! Lose the pawn to protect the car!

Thinking of this, the snow mark was slashed down!

At this moment, a strong wind came from behind. Snow marks hurriedly returned to the knife to block, but the knife failed to cut on the finger.

With a bang, a throwing knife was bounced off.

At the moment of bounce flying, the snow marks can be seen clearly, and the flying knife is a hunter's special weapon.

Snow Scarred's heart sank: it was another hunter's attack. It's really a wave of unsettled, and now I'm physically unable to fight at all, even if I escape, it's difficult, and the bomb in my hand is still dripping, do you want to die here?

He looked up in the direction where the knife had come from, only to find a young man dressed as a hunter standing alone under a tree not far away.

The boy was muscular, dark-skinned, wearing only a pair of leather shorts, his naked upper body was painted with totemic patterns, and he was holding a hunting knife in his hand, and he was cutting through the bushes and walking towards him.

"Xiaoqiang!" Snow Mark responded happily when he saw someone coming.

Xiaoqiang's name is Garqiang, and he is also a young hunter, the hunter's name is Takuru, and he is a childhood friend of Snow Marks, because among the hunters, both of them are foreign surnames, so they have a good relationship. Therefore, Snow Mark does not call his hunter by his first name, but by his first name.

His attack just now was obviously just a joke.

Xiaoqiang shook his head: "It's a pity, I didn't expect that your skills didn't become weaker in this situation, and I couldn't kill you." ”

Xueji just wanted to raise his hand to say hello, and suddenly thought of the bomb bracelet, in order not to worry Xiaoqiang, Xuechen hurriedly tore off a rag from his clothes and wrapped the bracelet on his left wrist.

There are 7 counts left in the countdown, and you can do it again when the countdown is 1.

"Ruluga, you have to promise me before I go. Xiaoqiang shouted from a distance.

"Promise you what?"

"Don't kill me. ”

Snow Scar smiled: "Your escape skills are so good, I can't kill you." ”

Xiaoqiang laughed and walked through the bushes.

"What were you chopping just now?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I hurt my wrist, cut a piece of cloth and bandage it. By the way, why are you here? You can't really kill me. ”

"Lotta ambushed you before, you didn't die, and you can kill them. I can't kill you. The hunters who hunted you back to the village and said you were seriously injured, so I came to see you, but I didn't expect to run into you here. Speaking of this, Xiaoqiang became excited: "You have been out of the limelight recently, killing a lot of hunters." If you want me to say, those hunters should be killed, especially that Slova, whom I have long since looked at unpleasantly. ”

"After all, they were brothers, and I don't want to kill them, and I didn't kill Slova. ”

"They all look down on our foreign surnames, and you still speak for them, who killed them?"

Snowmark shook her head as she remembered Elvey's strange blow.

In the clearing, two hunters shoot four throwing spears at the bare-handed Elvi, who yawns and the spears disappear, leaving the hunter dead. Snowmark never understood how she did it.

"Xiaoqiang, don't talk about this, let me ask you, how is my mother?" asked Xue Zhen anxiously.

"She ......" Xiaoqiang looked embarrassed: "She is very good, although she is locked up in the firewood room, the blacksmith and Lizi take good care of her and do not suffer hardship." ”

"That's not right...... You lied to me......"

Xiaoqiang fell silent.

"It's a brother, just tell me. ”

"The villagers are going to execute your mother. Xiaoqiang hurriedly continued: "But I think your mother will be fine, there are many people in the village who are on your side......"

Like a bolt from the blue, the snow marks were stunned, and anger followed.

"No, how could they!!!! Fuck!!" Snowmark roared like a beast, but he was wounded and weak, and this roar drained the remaining strength from his body, and he curled up on the ground in agony, and the pain soaked his entire body and soul from the inside out.

Even if he was hurt by unbearable pain, deceived by a little girl, or betrayed by a friend, he never shed tears, but at this time, he kept rolling down like beads of broken thread.

Xueji has no father since he was a child, only his mother alone pulled him up, Xueji has always been dependent on his mother, his mother insisted on staying in the village, Xueji has been very worried, this time he traded with Wankui, he wanted to change more weapons, just in case, but he never wanted to be ambushed, and killed the hunters in the village in order to protect himself, which made his mother more dangerous.

He now regrets that he didn't take his mother with him when he left the village, and that he carelessly fell into the trap of the hunters, and the chain reaction that resulted put his mother in crisis.

At this time, he longed to have wings on his back, fly back to the village, and rescue his mother, but his current physical condition ...... A sense of powerlessness, humiliation, and self-blame came over me at the same time.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for killing the hunters, it must be because of this that the villagers will take out their anger on my mother......"

"But, you're also here to defend yourself!Besides, those people should have been killed!" Xiao Qiang comforted.

"No, I'm going back and get her out!"

"With a body like yours, you're just going to die. ”

"So what do you say?"

"You have to calm down, we still have three days to go, the Great Elder sent someone to the town to report, from his departure, to the completion of the formalities to his return, it will take at least three days. We need weapons now, we need supplies, we need ...... Reinforcements. Xiaoqiang lowered his head and thought for a while, "Let's go call the police." ”

Snow Scar smiled bitterly.

Do you think I haven't done it?

As soon as he escaped from the village, Snow Mark rushed to the military management office in Shibuya Town to report the incident, where there was a domestic guard, a police officer in charge of internal security. The police apparently accepted the case, but instead held Snow Mark as a prisoner for five days.

In the past five days, Xueji has been beaten and humiliated, and they have only one question to worry about, whether Xueji is going to go to the central government to file a complaint.

In Snow Country, people are firmly confined to the land, and no one can leave the villages and settlements where they live, otherwise they will be treated as outcasts or gangsters. It is possible that the displaced people will go to the central government to make trouble, so if they are caught, they will be sent to a labor camp for reform. The gangs will correct the law on the spot.

Snow Marks has been trying her best to endure and explain, hoping that they can settle their grievances without being sure that they have other "bad intentions".

But his hopes were again dashed. His patience only added to the anger of the other party, and they fought more fiercely and scolded harder.

Five days later, the police officer in charge of him was basically sure that he would not go to the central government to file a complaint, and that he would not threaten the "safe and stable situation" in the local area for several years and the reputation of the local military administration at the higher military headquarters, and he lost interest in Xuejin, and he bluntly told Xuezhen that the village had autonomy and that the guards would not bother with these things at all, and that they were purely causing trouble. Besides, in the deep mountains where birds don't, who would want to go to the police? Not only would they not care, but they would also tie up the snow marks and escort them back to the mountain village.

After this defeat, he no longer trusted any help from within the system.

"Then how did you escape from the military control center? It's not like a firewood house in the village, you killed the military police, right?" asked Xiao Qiang curiously.

"You may not believe it, but it wasn't that I escaped, and I didn't kill them, but that they themselves died suddenly and inexplicably. ”

Xiao Qiang looked at the snow marks and blinked.

At that time, Xueji was in a prison closely guarded by the military management center, and it was difficult to escape no matter how high his kung fu was, but he didn't expect that in the early morning of the sixth day, the policeman guarding him suddenly died, and he died in front of Xuejin, outside the iron fence of the prison.

It was as if he had been choked by an invisible hand, and after a few minutes of rolling and struggling on the ground, he died in front of the snow marks. Snow Mark checked, he died of suffocation, there was no poison gas in the prison, otherwise Snow Mark himself would have been poisoned to death. So his death was very bizarre, but Snow Scar didn't have the time or mood to investigate the cause of death.

He took the key from the prison guard, opened the door and walked out of the prison, and along the way he saw many prison guards who were also dead.

In this way, Snow Marks escaped from the unguarded prison of the military control center.

"Hehe," after listening to Xueji's narration, Xiaoqiang smiled awkwardly, "Xuejin, I'm here to help you, as a buddy, you still don't tell me the truth, isn't it a little uninteresting......? I've learned some new tricks, and I don't want to tell me......"

"I'm not lying!" Hearing that Xiaoqiang was questioning his words, Xue Zhen hurriedly said, "What I said is true, you have to believe me, I can swear!"

"Okay!" Xiao Qiang turned his head, as if he was very helpless about Xueji's answer, obviously still half-convinced. After a moment of silence, he said, "Although you say so, I will still help you." I'm enough buddy!"

"Hey, you still think I'm lying?"

"Okay, okay, you're not lying, they all died in front of you one by one. Okay, I remember. ”

"You!" was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, and she was so excited that she pulled the wound and bent down in pain.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it. Xiaoqiang hurriedly squatted down and comforted Xue Zhen and said:

"Let's not talk about it, okay, I'm sure you can't do it yet? Now we can only rely on ourselves, you have to pay attention to yourself, eat something first." Xiaoqiang took out food from his backpack.

After listening to Xiaoqiang's words, Xueji's mood gradually stabilized, as Xiaoqiang said, if you want to save your mother, you must first solve your own problems, first the injury, and then the bomb. After that, you need to find weapons and supplies, and do these things to make the rescue operation more certain, otherwise you will just die in vain.

Xuejin took the dry food handed by Xiaoqiang and ate it in a big gulp. He hadn't eaten much for two days, and he needed to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Xiaoqiang squatted down and inspected the wound on Xuezhen's abdomen.

"This injury is very serious, I'm afraid I won't get better without surgery. ”

"If you hadn't attacked me, it wouldn't have collapsed. ”

"How did I know you were injured? I'll take you to the doctor. With that, he put the medicine in the snow-stained backpack, and his own backpack hung on his chest, and then carried the snow-stained on his back.

"No, I can't go back to the village. ”

"If we don't go back to the village, I can take you to Shibuya, and just let Dr. Oda operate on you. I'll drop you off at the door of the clinic, and you go in by yourself, and it won't be easy for him to see me. ”

Xiaoqiang put the snow mark on his back and began to return the way he came.

Snow Scar was stubborn, thinking that this was also a way, so Xiaoqiang carried it to Shibuya Town.

The snow marks are similar to Xiao Qiang's body shape, and their weight is about the same, and the mountain boy has been exercised and his physical strength is also very good, so Xiao Qiang has no trouble carrying the snow marks on his back at all. He figured out his direction and began to walk out of the forest.

"Thank you, Xiaoqiang. ”

Xiaoqiang's arrival touched Xuechen very much. Because Xiaoqiang is different from other hunters, he is timid by nature and does not dare to take risks easily. And this time he came to help himself, obviously taking a big risk.

"Hey, what are you talking about, who's going to make us buddies?"

"Is the buddy still chasing me?"

"They're chasing you, and that's not me, they're excluding me. Xiao Qiang tilted his head, "Besides, they didn't chase you either, the Great Elder said that they were here to take you back for questioning." ”

"Nonsense, they killed me. ”

Snow Scar reached out to ward off a mosquito behind him, not knowing why the mosquito kept following them.

Xiao Qiang frowned: "Then is the leader of Goron trying to kill you? He is your master." ”

"No, there must be some misunderstanding here. It must have been that guy who did it. ”

"That person?"

"There's a guy behind the scenes, and the barn is his ghost. He was the one who framed me! Maybe he even bribed the police in the military control center......

Xiaoqiang shook his head.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask, what the hell is going on in the barn?"

"Didn't I explain it in the village?"

"It's already this time, don't you lie anymore, don't even trust me? You said before that Gao Tian and they wanted ** Sister Xiaoling...... How is that possible? He is Sister Xiaoling's own uncle. ”

"I'm not lying!" the snow scar tugged at the wound, and his expression was distorted a little in pain.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that you said it...... It's a little too weird. You also said that the stone restrained you in the barn with one move, which is even more unreliable, I know your skills, can't even beat the guys in the grocery store?" Xiao Qiang paused, showing a smile like insight into everything: "You have always liked Sister Xiao Ling." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you want to force her, and then someone finds out to kill her? It's nothing, I know a lot of people have done this kind of thing, you just admit it, after all, everyone has impulses......

"You don't even believe me! you let me down, I don't need your help......" Snow Scar struggled a few times, and the pain forced him to stop.

Xiao Qiang didn't put him down, but put him on his back.

"What is this saying? Okay, okay, you'll just leave me without saying it. ”

Xiao Qiang's face with his back to Xueji, at this time there was a satisfied expression, obviously he was already convinced of his reasoning, and the more excited Xueji was, the more he explained, the more he felt that he was right. But in order to take care of Snow Marks' face and emotions, he did not continue to question it.

It is reasonable for Xiao Qiang to come to such a conclusion, because Xiao Qiang was at the scene when Xue Zhen was caught, and he saw Sister Xiao Ling's naked corpse with his own eyes. The other corpses in the barn were all miserable, and they were all from the village, such as Gao Tian and Shishi, all of whom he knew, and these people were honest and honest on weekdays, and they had no trouble with Xueji, and they didn't even have any intersection with each other.

So the "truth" is almost imminent.

At that time, because there was only one living person, Snow Marks, he naturally became the object of suspicion. The Elder Guard captured him and tortured him to force him to tell the truth, but Snow Mark "preferred to die".

He just said he couldn't remember what had happened. But he saw that Gao Tian and others were going to commit violence to the neighbor's girl named Xiaoling.

This is obviously impossible, Gao Tian is Sister Xiaoling's own uncle, and the two have always been safe. Even if you want to do that, you don't have to go to the barn, you just have to be in your own home......

No matter how you look at it, what Snow Mark said is unbelievable, and it is very reasonable to use the statement of a strong attempt to kill people. Therefore, under such ironclad evidence, Xiaoqiang concluded that Xueji deliberately lied and concealed it.

In this apocalyptic wasteland, in the wild villages, people have a weak sense of morality, and the same is true for Xiaoqiang, in his opinion, using strong is nothing, many people have done similar things, and Xueji is just confused for a while, and he has done too much.

As for killing, it is actually nothing new for people like them. Anyway, the dead person has nothing to do with him, and Xiaoqiang naturally doesn't care.

Xiaoqiang is the most ordinary person living in this troubled world, he, like most people, does not believe in human nature, nor does he believe in morality, he does not believe in the people of Snow Marks, but he believes in their friendship.

He and Xueji are both young hunters, and they have been hunting together since childhood, and they can be regarded as having been born and died, so he came to save him in this dense forest.

But Xue Zhen felt extremely sad at this time, he was like an orphan abandoned by the whole world, the whole world did not believe him, and regarded him as a great traitor, but he was wronged! Now that he was seriously injured, his mother was in crisis and could not save him, it was simply unbearable, and even a thought faintly appeared in his heart: It is better to die if he is so incompetent.

At the stall where Snow Scar and Xiaoqiang were arguing, the mosquito that had been following Snow Scar finally found an opportunity and bit the back of Snow Scar's neck.

A feeling of numbness spread throughout the body, the snow marks were already because of Xiaoqiang's suspicion, the tightness in the chest, coupled with the weakness of the body, the blow of the spirit, and the oppression of the crisis, his spirit has been like a tight string, bitten by this mosquito, he actually felt muscle stiffness for a while, difficulty breathing, and felt as if the whole world was squeezing towards him. I really want to break free, but how do I fight against the pressure of the world?

There was a sharp tinnitus in his ears, like a car honking in his ears. The tingling in my head intensified. There seemed to be a variety of different smells in the air, but in fact, his sense of smell was also out of order.
