Gallo gave Ares and each of them a cane to support them to walk this distance.So, a group of people moved slowly on the ice.

It took them half an hour to walk the 500-meter road.Ares thought to himself, this is probably the most difficult 500 meters he has ever walked.

Fortunately, everyone was very careful along the way, so they arrived at the reception counter smoothly, and as soon as they entered the room, they felt the warmth.A large amount of heating was installed in the room, and Xiaodie felt that she could breathe now.It was too cold outside.

Jia Luo's people handed Ares cups of hot tea to warm their bodies, and then said that they would go to their research institute after a short rest.

The journey to the research institute is long, so they need to have a sip of hot drink before going on the road.

"Excuse me, why don't you drive?" Ares looked at Galo.

"It's not that we haven't tried it, but the vehicle can easily lose control when driving on ice. There have been several major accidents before, so now we don't drive easily."

After listening to Jia Luo's words, Ares looked at Xiaodie worriedly. Her body was weaker than everyone else's, and the weather was so cold that Xiaodie would not be able to hold on.

Ares began to regret letting Xiaodie come with him.

"King Ares, please don't worry. We have prepared other means of transportation, which are slower but safe. You can ride them together." Jia Luo looked at Ares and Xiaodie.

"Great, thank you." Ares thanked Galo, and Gallo bowed slightly to Ares.

So, everyone got on the means of transportation, which is actually an improved version of the carriage, but the cart is not pulled by a real horse, but a mechanical horse specially made by Xishuangdao, which can calculate the maximum speed of walking on the ice. coefficient of friction, and then move forward slowly.

Although it was very slow, it was already very fast compared to their walking speed just now.

Ares held Xiaodie in his arms and looked at the surrounding scenery, but he didn't see a single islander within the range of his eyes, only houses next to each other in twos and threes, shining yellow light.

The lights on the side of the road are also relatively dim, and it seems that the economic situation of Xishuangdao is not so good.

"Jia Luo, has Xishuang Island always been so deserted here?" As soon as the words came out, Ares felt that his words were inaccurate, so he changed his words again, "I mean, everyone is as lonely as Dongting Island." go out?"

"Yes. If you accidentally fall down, you will be ten years old. At first, the young people were more daring, but after falling a few people, other islanders were afraid, so the islanders who stayed at home started More and more." Jia Luo originally turned his back to Ares, but now he is talking to Ares.

When Jia Luo spoke, Mello nodded in agreement.

"When everyone is afraid to go out, are you still willing to take risks outside?"

"If everyone hides, production activities will not be able to proceed, and the entire Xishuang Island will perish." Jia Luo paused, "I don't want Xishuang Island to succumb to the ancient curse without doing anything like this. inside."

Jia Luo looked at Ares, and there seemed to be a ball of fire jumping in the pupils reflecting the light, "So, we bold and careful people volunteered to take on various responsibilities, and I was responsible for patrolling and external communication. There are also some brothers who are doing mechanical manufacturing, and some are doing medical research, and so on.”

And Jia Luo's job is undoubtedly to spend most of his time on the ice. Later, the person in charge of the machinery developed the current means of transportation, which can be regarded as an added layer of protection for Jia Luo.

However, because Xishuang Island is full of wind and snow all year round, energy and resources are relatively scarce, and using a tool once will consume a lot of energy, so Jia Luo usually walks on the ice, and only uses it in emergencies or when receiving people from outside the island.

Listening to Jia Luo's words, Ares felt that he had a sense of admiration for them.

From Jia Luo's words, it can be inferred that it is more difficult to maintain daily life and medical research, and naturally there is no way to increase investment in other places.

As night fell, the chill became more pronounced.Jia Luo turned to them and said, "Everyone, since it will be a long way to reach the research institute, and the night is gradually getting darker, let's go to the half-way hotel to rest first, and then we will go to the research institute tomorrow."

Ares and Melo glanced at each other, and after making eye contact, they both agreed, so they turned into an alley on the way.

After entering the house, Xiaodie felt that she was alive again. When she was in the car, she had no idea what was going on outside, she only knew that she was very cold.

After allocating the rooms, everyone got into their own rooms.At this moment, Xiaodie was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt.The heating was turned on in the room, but Xiaodie still felt more comfortable hiding under the covers.

After putting away his coat, Ares walked to the bed, Xiaodie opened a corner of the quilt, and Ares got in, grabbed Xiaodie's small hand and put it in his big hand, rubbing and rubbing. Excited.

"Xiaodie, is it still cold?" Ares felt distressed when he saw Xiaodie like this, and Xiaodie didn't say anything along the way, so he knew that Xiaodie must be very sad.

"With Ari here, I won't be cold." Although Xiaodie wanted to speak in as relaxed a tone as possible, her voice was obviously not as forceful as usual.

"It's hard for you, my heart is about to break." Ares is not exaggerating at all, his heart beats with Xiaodie.

"Okay, I'm really fine. It's late, let's go to bed quickly, and we have to get up early tomorrow, right?" Xiaodie said as she was about to lie down and was hugged by Ares.

It took a while for Ares to let go. He looked at Xiaodie with a serious expression: "Xiaodie, tomorrow, why don't you go out with us and stay here, it's warm here."

"No, you all went out, why did you leave me here?" Xiaodie wanted to be with Ares.

"Xiaodie, can you be obedient? I feel distressed when you take that cold medicine and still look like this. Besides, if you are not in good health, I won't be able to concentrate on my work." Ares said The first time she faced Xiaodie's coquetry, she didn't give in immediately as usual, but acted very hard.

Ares didn't want anything to happen to Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, be obedient."

Xiaodie also saw that Ares was very serious, and then recalled how it was freezing outside, she shivered unconsciously, but she still didn't want to agree easily.

There was a stalemate for a while, but this time Xiaodie was the first to lose.

"Okay, I promise you, if you don't go out, stay here." Xiaodie's tone still showed a sense of helplessness.

Ares was overjoyed.
