Captain Ike (now recognized dead by Zoomlion)

Ceph holds the cage of the Zoomlions

======

A gloomy space, surrounded by equally cold ice walls, and in the middle was a touch of darkness, with little to nothing but the crowd that seemed to be absent from it.

It's a sub-zero environment, and a group of people are in a cage held by the Cephs, huddled together, almost huddled, and nothing else can be done.

Ceph's mind is very vicious, and they have locked these humans in this place. The surrounding environment is below absolute zero, and there is "cold energy" everywhere that can kill people, but these people have undergone special treatment and will not die because of this, and can only endure the torture of the cold, just like arthritis and epilepsy that are extremely painful.

Other than that, there are no silk tufts around, because silk tufts are considered to be edible by humans, so they are naturally strictly restricted by Ceph. And here is another emptiness, which can be regarded as a mental torture that makes people feel empty and painful.

Ceph is naturally painstaking, and they are as cold and deadly as "cold energy".

But even so, at this time, the group of people below absolute zero did not have any emptiness or pain, on the contrary, their emotions were still very high.

"Hey, Rezenov, is the news accurate?" Norman asked in a whisper impatiently.

"Of course." Waving the dark red turban he wore on his head, Rezenov whispered indifferently. "It's on after an hour, so try to stay calm during that time. Don't let Ceph find out about our anomaly, and don't do anything stupid. Do you get it? ”

As he spoke, everyone around him nodded slightly, and their eyes were full of longing and hope.

In these eyes, at this time, it seems to be shining with the most beautiful brilliance of human beings, the brilliance of freedom and survival, and the infinite shining point.

There is one exception, though. It was Ike, who was sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the surrounding walls. Obviously, he was thinking about something.

"Hey, did you hear that, Ike." See Ike's appearance. Saiko couldn't help but whisper a reminder to him. At the same time, he gently patted him on the shoulder.

"I know." Ike whispered back in Russian, but he was still looking ahead, and his face remained expressionless.

I have to say that this disregard for others does look very annoying, but Rezenov and others know that this is due to Ike's nature.

"Just know, the plan will start in an hour." Rezenov turned to him and said, "What are you thinking?" Are there any flaws in the plan? ”

"No, there are no blemishes yet. On the contrary, it is very perfect, and there is almost no fault with it. Ike shook his head slightly, and only then did he shift his gaze to everyone, "As for just now, I thought of my loved one. ”

"Female?" Arkatiz asked.

"Naturally, it's a woman, do you like men?" Ike looked at Arcatez with scrutiny and expressionless eyes, and now Ike couldn't help but think of the combination of Wang Qi and Vasily.

I don't know if Wang Qi's injuries have been healed well, as well as Vasily's arm, they have successfully escaped at the beginning, and they should be able to survive.

"A person like you who is cold also has a girlfriend?" Hearing Ike's words, Saiko couldn't help but muttered in an exaggerated whisper, "It's incredible." ”

Because Ike is so calm, and always maintains an expressionless dead face, almost unchanged for 10,000 years. Such a person will not make a girl happy at all, let alone have any fun in life, it is hard to imagine that even such a person will have a girlfriend.

"My girlfriend is a cosmic mercenary." As if sensing what Saiko meant, Ike added with a blank face. In fact, Ike knows a lot about these aspects, but he learns them directly from books, and Ike treats them as knowledge about interpersonal relationships, and he doesn't practice them at all.

"Oh, that's no wonder." Saiko pursed his lips slightly, he had already made up the idea that Ike said that his girlfriend was a powerful woman with the same expressionless face and a cold face, in fact, this brain supplement was infinitely close to the truth.

"Actually, Sai doesn't have a girlfriend!" And it was at this time that Acatez suddenly said little, and with his words, including Tara. Everyone present, including Strykerland, couldn't help but laugh. However, the smile was also controlled, for fear of being watched by Ceph.

"Hey, how can you do that!" Saiko couldn't help but secretly pull Acateez's knee, he was very concerned about the demolition of this bad friend he knew in Ceph's prison, "It's too shameful to give me." ”

"What more face do you want, man." Acatez cast a disdainful look, "I don't know who it was at the beginning, and I wanted to spend the so-called good night with Tara when I first came in......"

"Ahem~ahem......" Saike smiled embarrassedly, because this is really black history. In fact, it was because he had been in this Ceph prison for a long time, so he was naturally very lonely and panicked, so he had what Arkatiz said.

Immediately Saiko couldn't help but look at Ike, only to find that he was still an expressionless dead face, with no waves on his face, just quietly watching them chat.

Well, you really shouldn't have any superfluous expressions on the cold poker face.

Saiko felt a hint of helplessness, and at the same time involuntarily looked at Tara, only to find that the woman was glaring at her, obviously dissatisfied with her previous behavior.

The corners of Saiko's mouth couldn't help but cross a wry smile, and at this time, Rezenov suddenly said, "There are 42 minutes left, in fact, in another 32 minutes we will enter the final stage of preparation, and when the time comes, we will wait for the opportunity." ”

So everyone still has about half an hour, and when this half hour has passed, they will embark on the road to freedom, and then the battle royale will begin, and the fate of everyone will be a mystery.

Survive the Battle Royale, be killed in an attack, or be captured by Ceph again and return to this incomparably cold place below absolute zero, only to be treated with a series of notches down again. None of this is known, but they can only fight for it.

Rezhnov put forward the slogan "For freedom, for the escape from Volkuta, for the great Motherland", which was deeply shared by everyone. In a few moments, all of them will fight for freedom, and there will definitely be sacrifices then, so all are ready to sacrifice.

And after hearing about Rezenov's "big move", Ike agreed without hesitation. There were hardly any faults or flaws in the plan, but if Ike was given some time to find some clues, he could have drawn it up.

"So what are we going to do for these 32 minutes?" Dominic. Lockhart looked at the crowd around him and asked with a fierce look on his face, but it was actually an instinct he had cultivated over a long period of time as a pirate.

"What else can I do, I can only chat." Hargrave stroked his beard, and a smile appeared on his face.

Chatting together has been done before, so it doesn't attract Ceph's attention.

However, they are not idlers, but a group of soldiers who are preparing to go to life and death, so this chat can't help but have a style of "the last word before death".

"Speaking of which, what are the weapons you usually use?" And just as everyone was discussing with each other, Ike, who had been beside him without saying a word, suddenly asked, this attitude made everyone stunned.

Hasn't he been in a state of silence all the time, why is he suddenly interested in this?

Although they were puzzled, everyone couldn't help but answer.

From their words, Ike understood the details of the weapons used by the current pirate forces and some other parties, which were basically the same as the information he had.

However, Ike originally asked casually, and his cautious and calm personality meant that he would not be full of mistakes, let alone reveal any important information about himself.

For example, it was almost the last conversation before life and death, but Ike kept his mouth shut about any important information, not even much talking.

He is only interested in arms, in addition to hunting and cooking delicious wild animals, as well as Zhen Wuyu.

"My question is over, you are free." Immediately, Ike kept silent, making the people around him stunned, daring to ask a question.

"Then Uncle Lei." At this moment, the "prophet" Pufei also asked, "Rezenov, where did you come from?" ”

Pufe directly used Rezenov's name, apparently asking serious things. Because Rezenov is a very mysterious guy, he is very curious.

After he asked this, the people around him couldn't help but look at Rezenov with great interest, and at the same time their faces showed expressions of hope for an answer.

Even Ike looked at Rezenov, who was still expressionless and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Rezenov shook his head unexpectedly, then picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "At least not now." ”

"When will that be?" Pu Fei couldn't help but ask.

"When we were almost going to die, on the eve of that moment."

"......" (To be continued......)
