In the Shirakusawa Mountains, the days are short and the nights are long, from sunset to sunrise, which lasts for 20 hours.

Zheng Guo naturally wouldn't sleep for all twenty hours.

When he came to his senses, it was estimated that there were still several hours before dawn.

The campfire had been extinguished, and all that remained was a pile of ashes, with a few sections of charred charcoal lying on it, and a little spark glittering in the night.

The clouds were much thinner, and the moonlight penetrated through the fog to reach the ground, and the brightness was about the same as that of a full moon night on Earth.

A beastly roar was heard in the distance, dragging a long tune through the night.

Then there was pure silence, and there was no movement except for the faint chirping of insects.

Looking around the cave, I realized that the walker was not there again, and this time even its backpack was gone.

Could it be that you set off on your own?

Zheng Guo walked outside the cave and looked around by the moonlight.

Suddenly, he saw a slight disturbance in the mist directly in front of him, as if something had passed through, leaving a trail of traces.

Zheng Guo put his hand on his waist, pressed the handle of the dagger, and took a few steps forward. A figure loomed behind the mist.

Suddenly, there was a muffled thud.

A figure jumped off the cliff.

Zheng Guo subconsciously turned around and pulled out his dagger and made a defensive posture. If you look closely, it's a walker.

It glanced at Zheng Guo and walked into the shelter.

Zheng Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head to look over there again, the figure was gone.

The mist flowed slowly through the air, as if it had never been disturbed.

Zheng Guo watched for a while, but found no abnormality, and then returned to the cave.

The walker took out four fruits from his backpack, kept two for himself, and handed the remaining two to Zheng Guo.

It turned out that it had just gone out to look for food.

Don't be in vain, Zheng Guo gladly accepted it.

……

……

At dawn, Zheng Guo ate the two fruits, used them as breakfast, washed them briefly, and turned on the live broadcast.

It was almost noon in Huaxia, and the popularity of the live broadcast room skyrocketed to 10 million in just a few minutes.

"Finally open (^ω^)"

"The night is too long (; a_a)"

"Wow, what a beautiful morning scene, it feels like a fairyland!"

"This scene should only exist in the sky, and it is difficult to hear it in the world."

"It is enough to smell once, the fog contains a lot of dust, and smelling too much is harmful to the body."

……

"Morning sailors, today I have set a goal for myself, to cross this coniferous forest and reach the steppe area by noon. The task is daunting, without further ado, let's go! ”

Zheng Guo packed his equipment, bypassed the cliff, and headed for the top of the mountain.

As the sun rises, the clouds dissipate, and the sunlight pours into the trees, giving the ground and trees a shade of orange-red shimmer.

The temperature has dropped to about 10 degrees Celsius, and it is noticeably cooler.

The trees are getting thinner and the air is getting drier.

Along the way, there were almost no animals encountered, except for a few chirps occasionally heard in the sky.

The scenery in this area is relatively monotonous, except for the conifers that are stones, there is nothing to introduce, Zheng Guo explains at will, and there is no need to stop, so the travel speed is very fast. At this rate, it will not be a problem to achieve the goal.

……

……

Great Wall Gene Gunazze Branch.

Chen Lan received a notice to return to Earth headquarters twenty hours later to attend a meeting.

A certain research institute suffered a flash flood, and the damage was not small, Chen Lan heard about it. This meeting should be aimed at discussing this issue.

This is the urine nature of big enterprises, and big things have to be decided at meetings.

I thought I was going to a long and boring meeting soon, and suddenly I didn't want to work. So he entered Zheng Guo's live broadcast room, intending to relax.

The picture shows a forest, and Zheng Guo is on his way.

"At the current altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, the air is already relatively thin. In this environment, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the intensity of activity, otherwise it is likely to cause syncope due to lack of oxygen. If you pass out here, you may never get up. ”

But he still walked like a fly, and as he spoke, he leaped over a rocky block like parkour, and his movements were smooth.

At this moment, the sailors recalled the taunt from Guo Ye.

"Can't you kneel○| ̄|_"

"Guo Ye is an alien and doesn't need oxygen."

"GUO YE'S FACE BUG=_="

……

It's still a familiar rhythm. Chen Lan smiled.

She sent a message to Lao Gu, thanking him for entertaining Zheng Guo, and politely asked him about his current situation by the way.

"Alas, flash floods, scorched over." Lao Gu replied.

Only then did Chen Lan know that it was the research institute in charge of Lao Gu who suffered from the flash flood.

What a coincidence.

"Don't worry, it's a natural disaster, and you can't blame it." Chen Lan comforted him.

"The walker has fled." Lao Gu replied with a sad face.

"Who?"

"Subject 13."

"Escaped during a flash flood?"

"The day before the flash flood was the day Mr. Zheng went up the mountain." After sending this message, Lao Gu seemed to think of something and was stunned.

Chen Lan had nothing to say.

Actually let such an important test subject escape, is the security all decoration?

"Reflect on it." She said.

"Alas, the ...... in reflection"

At this point, there is a call request.

A head in sunglasses is jumping non-stop.

His name is Zheng Ji, and he is one of the shareholders of Great Wall Gene.

This guy may have a bit of a mother-lover complex, and he has always been courteous to Chen Lan, who is ten years older than him, and Chen Lan has repeatedly expressed that his refusal is invalid, so he is very speechless to him.

"You're going to be there too, aren't you?" He asked.

"Hmm."

"Hehe, it looks like I'm going to thank those white pigeons."

Chen Lan didn't know why: "What white cane?" ”

"You don't know yet, a research institute continues to be harassed by the white swarm, and the loss is not small, so we have to hold a meeting to decide whether to abandon the research institute."

"I remember...... The white pike is a creature on the planet Changxi. ”

"That's right, that's it."

Chen Lan had Lao Gu's bitter face in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh, what kind of plague did he suffer.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back to Earth this time, let's play together for a few days. A holographic playground just opened in Hangzhou, and I know the owner there......"

"There's still work to be done, so let's get down first." Don't give him a chance to speak, go straight offline.

Set to Do Not Disturb mode and reopen the live stream.

I saw Zheng Guo just climbing a small hill.

……

"I didn't think there was such a place hidden in this forest." Zheng Guo stood on the mountain bag and whistled.

Baozi followed, and the camera followed his gaze.

I saw a lake not far ahead, the surface of the lake was blue, calm as a mirror, as if it was frozen.

The lake is roughly oval in shape, with an area of more than 100 square meters, and is surrounded by large and small rocks, forming a circle of rocky beaches.

"It's dry and rainless, so it's not rainwater, and there's no river near it that is formed by meltwater from the mountains...... The lake may be connected to an underground aquifer. ”

Zheng Guo jumped between the mountains and rocks, and soon came to the lake.

Up close, the lake is clear and rippling. The bottom of the lake is also covered with rocks, but it is much more rounded than those on the shore.

The moss-like greenery grows on the rocks, suggesting that there are likely fish living in the water.

Zheng Guo put his hand into the lake and felt it.

It's cold, not a few degrees above freezing.

Zheng Guo took off his backpack and put it on the stone beside him.

"It's a nice camping spot, with open space, water, maybe fish and beautiful views. I'm going to take a break here. ”

He also has two rabbit legs, enough to eat for a meal.

Zheng Guo took the dagger to the nearby area to collect firewood and prepare to make a fire.

There are a lot of dead trees in this area, so there is no shortage of firewood.

Soon, Zheng Guo returned to the lake with a bundle of firewood.
