To my frozen hometown

Chapter 98 So the process is as important as the result

The land covered with ice and snow seems to be still, while the sky is full of stars and stars, which can be called brilliant meteors dragging a long tail flame, which seems to have drawn the night into ripples.

It's a pity that this dreamlike scenery didn't last long. Maybe all the beautiful things in the world are like this, and it's always impossible to stay for a long time.

Or maybe, they have actually stayed, but because of their beauty, people feel that they haven't stayed long enough.

In this respect the human heart is usually insatiable.

Al didn't know when she had grasped Liuyuan's hand, and there seemed to be traces of light beams in her eyes. Where did those lights fly to? They should have flown to the east.

Because she has been walking towards the east, the girl can roughly tell this point clearly.

Is there the future? Recalling what the old man said just now, the girl's eyes were full of thought.

Then, perhaps for the first time, she had a little longing for the sea that Liu Yuan was talking about.

It turns out that the road to death can be so beautiful, as if the stars are guiding them.

Al's palms are small and can't hold too many things, so she can only hold tightly to Liuyuan, the solid ice that she regards as a life-saving straw, at the most helpless moment.Then use the pure heart of a child to understand the cold meaning of the other party.

There were naturally some misunderstandings, but it was because of these misunderstandings that the despair that should have been deep took on a different mood in the girl's eyes.

This artistic conception is sometimes shocking, sometimes bright, and sometimes warm, as if there is actually the most moving scenery on this journey to death.

It's like, they're just looking for happiness.

As a result, the girl's original concept of incompleteness has changed slightly, so that death, a word that should represent disappearance, has a meaning similar to hope in her heart at a certain moment.

The way to seek death may not be terrible, at least compared to quietly waiting for death.

It turns out that everyone's path eventually leads to death.

The difference is that some people are just waiting to die, while others are willing to spend their entire lives engraving an epitaph on their own graves.

A person's life is not long, and most of the time, it may only be enough to make an interpretation for one's own death, just like using all the processes to explain an ending.

There is no doubt that at this moment, Al feels that this journey eastward is the best process of her life.

It is worth looking forward to, including the ending that has been doomed but is waiting to be interpreted.

For the mercenary team starting from the No. [-] Central Greenhouse and going to the Ice Field Observatory, the severe cold for more than ten days was undoubtedly a difficult test.

Even boiled water would cool down quickly and then freeze when placed on the snow, which made it impossible for them to leave the snow vehicle at all, and at most they could only take some short tours around.

Fortunately, the snowmobile at least guaranteed their basic safety, at least they would not be frozen to death in this too severe cold.

"From the map, we will be able to reach the observation station in about two days' journey west." On the snowmobile, a male mercenary spread out the map in his hand, and said something estimated.

"It has to be faster. In this weather, if the supplies are insufficient, the personnel in the observation station can't guarantee their own safety." The team leader sat in the carriage and responded to the man's words.

In fact, they didn't need to think about these things. As a material delivery team, they only need to be responsible for delivering the materials safely.

But now that he has accepted this entrustment, as a relatively responsible mercenary, the captain of the team is still going to take these related situations into consideration.

Among the materials they are transporting today, there are not only food and daily necessities, but also energy equipment for the survival of a building facility.

If it is not delivered in time, the observatory is likely to fall into a state of extreme cold due to the exhaustion of energy sources.

At that time, the lives of the people inside will inevitably be in danger.

So delivery as soon as possible is a must.

"But if that's the case, we'll have to drive overnight." A mercenary driving in the driver's seat of the temperature-controlled car said helplessly.

"Okay, when we get there, we will naturally have time to rest and rest. You can just bury your head and sleep for two days and two nights. Now you can concentrate on driving and don't think about anything." The captain waved his hand said forcefully.

"Okay, I know..." The driver in the driver's seat responded lazily, but he drove the car a little faster with his hands and feet.

It can be seen that the atmosphere of this team is very good, at least the relationship between the superior and the subordinate is not so confrontational and clear.

It's just that the weather is really too cold this time, the captain of the team looked sideways at the white mist that condensed on the car window, frowning and thinking.

I hope that there will be no problems with the people in that observatory.

······

When the mercenary team arrived at the observation station, it should be No. 18 days after they left Greenhouse No. [-]. Because of the wind and snow, they were delayed on the road for a while.

The sun is still good today, but the temperature is still cold.

Due to the delayed arrival date, the team appeared to be in a hurry.

"Quick, move the supplies immediately. The situation inside may be urgent, Ed, let's go in and have a look first." Standing in front of the observation station, the team leader ordered to everyone behind him.

The mercenaries quickly unloaded the supplies from the vehicle, and Ed, who was named, took a few steps forward and walked into the observation station with the mercenary captain.

"Don't let anything happen." On the way, the mercenary captain said to himself.

But he also understands how difficult it would be for ordinary people to survive in this climate if there is a shortage of resources.

So he quickened his pace again.

Finally, after a few breaths, he pushed open the door of the observatory.

"We are the material delivery team of the Central Mercenary Corps. I am sorry that we are late. Is anyone there!?"

As the voice of a shout fell, what caught the eyes of the mercenary captain was a scene of lush vegetation.

This place seems to be a botanical garden. The reason why the word "like" is used is because the mercenary captain doubts his own eyes.

However, what he saw at this time was indeed surrounded by colorful flowers. An old man was sitting at a dining table drinking coffee and listening to the radio. A girl was squatting by a path looking at flowers and plants. The pastry was served on the table.

Probably because they heard the mercenary captain's shout, the three of them put down what they were doing, and looked at the two people who suddenly came in from the door with strange eyes.

"Um." After a while of silence, maybe after finally recovering his senses, Ed, who was also standing by the door, turned sideways and asked in a low voice to his captain.

"Captain, is this the emergency you said, what should we do now?"
