When there is still some distance from the eastern communication station, you can clearly feel the cold, the further you go, the colder it gets, and the temperature behind is so low that people who can freeze their bones hurt.

The place chosen by Qin Zhen is indeed very safe, but to some extent, it is also fatal.

Before Qiao Yue arrived at the communication station, her face turned pale from the cold, and in the end, her lips turned blue and purple.

Mu Tang was afraid that she would die, so she took the initiative to ask Lu Yan for her own clothes, and wrapped Qiao Yue up and down firmly, and her face looked slightly better.

Lu Yan also added clothes, and wanted to wear a few more pieces for Mu Tang.

But the little girl felt that wearing too many clothes would restrict her movements, and she didn't want to wear them.

Until Qiao Yue tightened her clothes and asked suspiciously:

"Mu ...... Mu Tang, aren't you cold? ”

Mu Tang's resisting expression stopped, and after a second or two, he quickly took the clothes from Lu Yan's hand and wrapped them around his body, biting his lips and turning blue, before turning around and saying:

"It's cold, it's just that this dress doesn't look good, I don't like it."

Her complexion was already white, and she bit her lips again, and Qiao Yue was about to faint, so she barely opened her eyes in a daze and glanced at her, and curled up with her head buried again, without too much suspicion.

In fact, she had been completely shocked by "the reason why Mu Tang didn't wear clothes", she really didn't expect to hear this kind of words from Mu Tang's mouth one day, this outrageous reason occupied most of her still active brain, so she didn't have any more thoughts to doubt.

But these few short sentences could already make Lu Yan on the side sure that Qiao Yue didn't know Mu Tang's identity at all.

His face didn't change, just looked at the woman who was about to pass out.

Although it is cold now, but wearing enough clothes is not to the point where she can freeze to death, Qiao Yue's reaction is too great, her physique should be much weaker than ordinary people.

This doesn't make sense.

Because ACET is a secret research station for pathogens, in order to cope with high-intensity work and avoid cross-infection of pathogens, the research station has strict requirements for the physique of the researchers in the station, and pays close attention to it, and will have regular physical examinations every month.

If Qiao Yue's body was so weak, she shouldn't have been selected into the experimental station in the first place.

With a soft whine of mud, the eastern communication station was close at hand.

Mu Tang jumped off the mud and looked at the "ice sculpture castle" in front of him, but there was no longer the exclamation in his eyes when he saw it for the first time.

It is Qi Su's masterpiece.

Qi Su...... took Xiao Yan's life.

Lu Yan also jumped off the muddy back and came to Mu Tang's side, looking at the little girl with some worry in her eyes.

Mu Tang only knew that Yan Mingxu was dead, but he didn't know that Yan Mingxu's body was here. For Mu Tang, Yan Mingxu should also be her friend, right?

After thinking about it, Lu Yan still decided to give her a preventive shot in advance, and said softly:

"Xiao Yan is inside."

“…… Oh. ”

Mu Tang nodded stunned, he couldn't say whether he was sad or sad in his heart, in fact, it was a feeling of desolation.

Lu Yan sighed and took the lead towards the entrance.

When I walked to the entrance of the passage, I suddenly heard something inside tapping hard.

The movement is not small, but because the indoor space is closed, the sound does not come out.

The entrance to the communication station was still frozen, and there was only a small passage that Qin Zhen had blown out, and there was no way for the mud to get in.

Lu Yan could only let Mu Tang go in first, and then mud cut the ice outside before going in.

Who knew that Mu Tang took two steps but suddenly stopped, lowered his head and quietly looked at the passage in front of him that was only enough for a person to bend over.

Because the ice is so thick and backlit, the whole passage appears deep and long, and it is full of cold.

With the increasingly strong knocking sound coming from the other end of the passage, as well as Qin Zhen's painful cry from time to time, Mu Tang subconsciously took a step back, only to feel that this passage was not a little dim in her eyes, and it looked a little terrifying at this time.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yan came behind her, looked down at the top of Mu Tang's hair worriedly, and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her shoulder.

Mu Tang shook his head again, his expression was a little confused, and at the same time mixed with some confusion.

She glanced up at Lu Yan and suddenly said:

"Lu Yan, you go in first, I'll wait for the mud ......"

Lu Yan carefully observed her face and sighed.

She must not have known that her face was now full of helplessness, and her big round eyes were full of confusion and retreat, and even the corners of her eyes were lowered.

Lu Yan could only pretend not to notice at this time, touched her head understandingly, and said softly:

"Okay, I'll go in first."

Mu Tang nodded in a panic, took two steps to the side, gave up the position in front of the passage, and then bit his lip and watched Lu Yan bend down into the passage.

Qiao Yue also trembled and jumped off the mud, shaking her body and wanting to follow Lu Yan in.

Mu Tang turned his head to look at her and kindly reminded:

"It's probably going to be colder inside."

Qiao Yue grabbed the clothes on her body and nodded, her face was haggard and pale, her hair hung down from both sides of her cheeks in a mess, and her voice was a little hoarse:

"I know, but ......"

She paused at this point, her face a little complicated, and ...... It seems to be a little shy?

Mu Tang tilted his head, and when he saw that she was bent over and ready to go in, he stopped talking.

His face suddenly became wet.

It turned out that Mud sensed the owner's uneasy mood, and immediately stopped the action of breaking the ice, leaned over and licked Mu Tang's face comfortingly, and his big worried pupils were also full of uneasiness.

Mu Tang turned his head, smiled soothingly, and then reached out to hug it and buried his face in the thick hair on its chest.

……

Lu Yan entered the room.

The whole station is like a giant refrigerator, and the temperature is turned on to the lowest.

Lu Yan touched the ice wall of the blockaded building, and in an instant, a chill flowed through his fingertips.

The ice condensed with the ability is not so easy to dissolve, let alone the ice left by a high-level zombie like Qi Su.

When I entered the inner door and saw the scene in front of me, even Lu Yan stayed where I was for a while.

In the open space, vine-like ice branches of condensed ice crawled all over the largest wall in the room, and spread around the corner to the other walls.

The weird thing is that it is not a normal transparent ice body, but a translucent light red!!

These red branches shrouded the room like a net, crystal clear, giving a smooth feeling that was still flowing.

The blood can easily turn brown, and it seems that all the blood is drawn out while the person is alive, mixed with the ice, and then frozen instantaneously without delay, so that this bright red color is formed.

And at the center of these rattans is a diamond-shaped ice crystal—

Yan Mingxu lay quietly inside.

The room that was originally dark because of the freezing of the ice, Qi Su seemed to be deliberate, and opened the ice sealed outside one of the windows with a wicked taste.

A glimmer of light floated in from the window, which happened to hit Yan Mingxu's face in the ice shell, bringing a trace of "holy light" to this absurd and cruel "artwork" full of gloom.

Yan Mingxu's eyebrows were peaceful, his eyes were closed, as if he was just sleeping, but when his eyes gradually fell, it only made people feel cold.

His abdomen was sliced open from the chest down, revealing the internal organs.

They detached from the abdominal cavity and were arranged in the shape of plant roots, surrounding Yan Mingxu's body.

Each organ was covered in a shell of ice, and because the blood was not exhausted, all of them had formed a faint red color, which looked like some hideaway of bad taste.

Qin Zhen finally knew what Qi Su meant when he said that every organ was crystal clear.

As he said, he made Yan Mingxu into a handicraft that he was satisfied with, and put it in this room for exhibition arrogantly.

This cruel ghost, delicate and murderous "work of art" turned into a sharp knife and stabbed into the chests of everyone present.

When Lu Yan saw all this, Qin Zhen was holding a gun, and the two soldiers next to him frantically smashed the ice crystals that sealed Yan Mingxu's body with the butts of their guns.

His eyes were red, blood, sweat and tears mixed together, covering his entire face, and from time to time there were uncontrollable whimpering sounds from his mouth.

Because of the constant exercise, the high heat of the body and the cold around him, his whole body was emitting "white smoke"!

His hand was whitened by the tremendous impact, and the tiger's mouth had cracked, and blood seeped out, filling his fingers, and then snaked down the barrel of the gun, flowing above the ice.

In the end, because of the heavy cold air, it turned into a layer of "blood shell" covered with ice crystals, and finally it was shattered and splashed in all directions because of Qin Zhen's smashing.

As for the ice crystal body, even if Qin Zhen and the other two soldiers smashed it unwillingly, even the butt of the gun was deformed, it didn't move at all.

Just stood there quietly, as if to satirize their incompetence and weakness.

Qin Zhen seemed to not feel the pain, his hands were mechanically numb, and he allowed the blood to flow more and more.

Lu Yan had to stop him even if he wanted him to vent, walked over quickly, reached out and firmly held his wrist, and forcefully wanted to break the gun out of his hand.

Qin Zhen's fingers were like turning into stones, firmly grasping the barrel of the gun, as if grasping his life, he didn't let go, desperately struggling to break free from Lu Yan's hands, and continued to knock on the ice.

His eyes were full of chaos, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Qin Zhen ......" Lu Yan tried to communicate with him.

"Loosen." Qin Zhen knelt on the ground, broke Lu Yan's hand with his hand that was not caught, and roared in a muffled voice.

Lu Yan saw that this meant refusing to communicate, his brows furrowed, and he had to yell:

"Qin Zhen!!"

"I'll let you go !!"

Two loud roars rang out at the same time.

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his expression became stunned, looking at Lu Yan's face, his lips trembled, and he said:

"Yes, I'm sorry...... Xiao Lu, I'm not angry at you, I, I'm just ......"

He didn't say what he said later, he unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and then lowered his head so that Lu Yan couldn't see the look on his face, and his voice was low:

"Total ...... Anyway, you let go of me first......"

Lu Yan's brows furrowed more and more, Qin Zhen was too abnormal.

Their comrades-in-arms have been fighting for so many years, let alone just yelling.

Qin Zhen would never apologize to him for this, he would only pat him on the shoulder with a big grin and say with a hippie smile, "I know you won't mind, you definitely won't mind."

Lu Yan had almost no doubts.

It was Yan Mingxu's sacrifice that made him begin to be sensitive to anyone around him, become cautious, and become extremely precious.

Or more serious, although Qin Zhen didn't say anything, Lu Yan had already realized that he had put Yan Mingxu's death on his head, and he was dead.

Lu Yan felt cold in his heart at this time.

Yan Mingxu was the last remaining lone seedling in Qin Zhen's initial team, even if he never said it, Lu Yan knew that Yan Mingxu was different to Qin Zhen and it was very important.

Now this lone seedling is dead, dead in front of Qin Zhen, dying trying to cover Qin Zhen's evacuation.

It's like Qi Yang asked in front of the ice wall with self-doubt before, "I killed them, right?"

Qin Zhen had completely vetoed himself.

There was no way for him to stand in the position of commander anymore, because any of his future decisions would be cringe, accompanied by countless hesitations.

It would kill his teammates, and even more so himself.

If Qi Yang hadn't asked that sentence at the beginning, but silently kept this doubt in his heart, then he would have the same consequences.

No, the events of that day had become a thorn, piercing Qi Yang's heart directly, and there was no way to pull it out.

Even if it looks okay now, it will explode one day, and it will be like a blade hanging high in the neck, not knowing when it will fall.

Lu Yan closed his eyes, and his heart was congested.

That high-level ice zombie easily destroyed the two most important commanders of the Tongcheng base.

And now Qin Zhen no longer has the same vigor as before, he just lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Mingxu's face under the ice in a daze.
