The temperature was getting colder, and the hail falling in mid-air was getting denser and denser, and the top of the tent was thumping.

Tian Yunong still hasn't come back, and there are only Lin Xuan, Tian Meng, and Samantha in the tent.

"It's a real pain to wait." After a long time, Samantha said quietly.

Tian Meng answered: "If you can achieve positive results after the ordeal, this kind of ordeal is worth it." ”

She had been sitting by the door of the tent, looking straight out, waiting for Tian Yunong to return.

Outside the curtain, hail flies diagonally, turning the world completely off-white. Luckily, their campsite is sheltered from the wind, so they don't have to worry about mudslides, avalanches, landslides, etc., so they can wait for the weather to clear up.

Samantha lowered her head, continued to concentrate on cleaning the gun, and withdrew all the bullets in the magazine, one by one.

Jeffsky's affair hit her hard, and her feelings were always low and she couldn't recover.

"Samantha, temporary defeat doesn't mean anything, does it?" Lin Xuan spoke in time, wanting to relieve the dull air inside the tent.

Samantha shook her head: "I've never been afraid of failure, but I'm worried that someone will become an inhuman monster like Jeffsky again." Next time, maybe we won't be so lucky. ”

Lin Xuan nodded, almost thinking that he could not escape when he was dragged into the illusory ruins of Arrantis by Jeffsky's soul. If there is no empty sand knife, the ending is unimaginable.

"I want to go to my father." Tian Meng stood up.

Lin Xuan also stood up: "Don't rush out, the weather is getting worse and worse, there must be a danger outside." ”

Tian Meng shook his head firmly, opened the curtain, and stepped into the gray world outside the door.

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate, and immediately wanted to go out.

"Lin Xuan, please stop." Samantha said.

Lin Xuan stopped and looked at Samantha.

"Let Miss Tian Meng spend more time with Mr. Tian Yunong, I guess, Mr. Tian Yunong is too anxious, just afraid of more bad luck." The expression on Samantha's face was strange, as if she was smiling, and the corners of her mouth barely moved.

Lin Xuan lowered his head and recalled in his mind every word Samantha had said on the phone.

"He's a stumbling block, and you're going to kill him?" Lin Xuan captured an extremely important piece of information from those words.

Samantha began to reload the bullets, explaining slowly: "Tian Yunong has done a lot of things, the Chinese can't tolerate him, and the Russians don't want him to live for a long time." People can be smart, but not too smart. Obviously, Tian Yunong belongs to the latter. ”

Lin Xuan retreated speechlessly, sighed and sat down.

In this desperate environment, no one can protect others but cherish their own lives. In other words, he also wanted to protect Tian Meng, but when she couldn't cut off the relationship with Tian Yunong, this protection evolved into hurting each other. Therefore, Lin Xuan could only retreat and wait and see what happened.

"It's a matter of time before you climb the Outer Peak, because the local temperature will drop to about -60 degrees Celsius, turning all the clouds and gases into ice, and the water vapor, which is usually useless, will soon become a solid staircase that will take you anywhere." Samantha said, "Let's just wait for the last moment." ”

I don't know how long it took, Lin Xuan suddenly jumped out of his half-dream and woke up.

Just now, he dreamed that he was facing a desperate predicament, and that he was about to die at the hands of his enemies. That kind of despair plunged his whole body into a biting cold. It's a pity that he didn't see the enemy's face clearly.

Three steps away, Samantha also leaned into a deep sleep, her short gun pressed horizontally on her knees, her index finger pulling the trigger, and she was vigilant enough.

"She's so tired." Lin Xuan sighed lightly.

In fact, Samantha, like Donna, is a girl who does not let her eyebrows go, capable and dedicated, and does her best in everything, meticulously, which is admirable.

The hail had probably stopped, because now Lin Xuan couldn't hear the crackling sound on the roof of the tent.

Lin Xuan stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Suddenly, he couldn't believe his eyes, because there were people everywhere outside, surrounding the camp. What's even more strange is that those people have different clothes, ages, and postures, and you can tell at a glance that they are from all over the world.

"Is this a dream? Where did these people come from? Lin Xuan muttered to himself.

In the midst of hundreds of people, a familiar face flashed by, and the eyebrows, eyes and facial features seemed familiar.

Lin Xuan's heart was hot, he couldn't care about anything, and quickly moved forward, separated the flow of people, and chased after that person. In the distance, he saw the man's broad back.

"Daddy—" he cried out, and quickened his pace and ran forward with a few ups and downs behind the man.

"Daddy." He screamed again, this time much lower, timidly.

It was the most familiar back in his memory, and he could even clearly remember the free and easy smile and handsome face that appeared in front of his eyes immediately after the other party turned around.

"Dad, is that you?" He cried a third time, his voice getting lower and lower, hope like a tiny soap bubble, in danger of bursting at any moment.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to grab the other party's shoulder, but he suddenly grabbed it.

"Dad, is that you?" His hand stopped in mid-air, not daring to stretch or retract, for fear that once he withdrew it, the shadow would be gone.

"It's me." The other party finally responded.

"Dad, after all these years...... Where did you go? Lin Xuan's tears welled up in his eyes.

"We went to a distant unknown place, don't be sad child, I have taught you since you were a child, learn to ** as soon as possible, and become a smart person who can protect yourself. Now, you've done it, and I'm pleasantly surprised, because you've never shown your talent. Do a good job, move forward, and the future is infinitely ambitious. The shadow said.

"Where's Mom? Where is she? Lin Xuan asked.

The shadow replied, "She's not with me, maybe it's because fate hasn't arrived." ”

"Where are you? And where is she? Lin Xuan asked the most important question.

"As I said, we are in a distant and unknown place, and we have no chance to meet again, and we can only come here together in this special environment where the carrying capacity has shifted." The shadow said.

Lin Xuan's throat was completely choked, and he was silent for a while before waving his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

People came and went around them, all oblivious to them. The faces of those men were yellow and thin, and their faces were the color of vegetables, like lonely spirits.

He was a little afraid, afraid that when the shadow turned around, it would be the same.

"Don't be afraid." The shadow said faintly, "My life has come to an end, and I will not take another half step forward." What you see is the last second I left for the world. Now, I am far away, and I will never see each other again. ”

Lin Xuan didn't know what to do, it seemed that he had never hesitated so much in his life.

"Actually, you shouldn't be here, I want you to remember, don't go through the mirror." The shadow said abruptly.

Lin Xuan heard every word clearly, but the meaning of the four words "through the mirror" was obscure and mysterious, and it was impossible to explain it at all.
