The five assistants, including Lanaya, looked at the rescue team with heavy expressions on their faces, feeling something was wrong.

"Where's Professor Qin? Why didn't you see him?"

An assistant couldn't help but ask.

The rescuers all turned their eyes to Xia Ren, waiting for him to speak.

Xia Ren was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "The situation... is a bit complicated, you will know when you go in."

After speaking, he led a large group of people back to the base, but when he was still 20 meters away from the base, he suddenly said: "Women stay here first, don't come close, and the rest of them follow me in."

Counting Lanaya, the six people who came this time, and two female assistants, stayed outside together.

Xia Ren didn't explain too much, and brought the men to the pair of blood-colored skeletons, and said, "We can't let the bones of the scientific research team be exposed all the time, let's work hard and bury them first while there is still some light." .”

"Bone?"

The assistant who didn't know the situation was puzzled.

After Xia Ren finished speaking, he lifted the tent cloth directly, revealing the horrific scene below, and the smell of blood instantly spread into the air.

The three new assistants immediately collapsed in fright.

Although the rest of the people have seen it, it is still difficult to accept it.

"Let me help too."

A ghostly figure stood behind them.

"Professor Qin?"

Three assistants recognized him.

Professor Qin walked with some difficulty, and didn't think this pile of skeletons was scary.

He knew most of the people in the scientific research team, they had met in several conferences or research laboratories, and some were even partners who had worked with him.

Now, his wife who has been with him day and night for decades is also inside.

Professor Qin stood silently in front of the pile of bones. Xia Ren was a little moved as he watched this scene.

Never before has there been such a moment, when life and death are so starkly opposed.

"If the monsters in the Crazy Mountains run out, such scenes will happen frequently in the human world!"

The confusion in Xia Ren's eyes has completely disappeared, and he has become firm again.

Under the less than two feet of snow was a hard layer of ice, and the excavation was extremely difficult. It took nearly an hour for more than a dozen people to finally bury all the bones in it.

They used snow to build a grave bag on the tomb without a tombstone.

By the time this was done, everyone was already sweating from exhaustion.

The three women who had been waiting outside came in later, and someone briefly told them what had happened. Under Xia Ren's suggestion, the rescue team deliberately concealed from the assistants about the six monster corpses outside the base, lest they also be polluted .

During dinner, no one said anything.

After such a thing, even the most cheerful person can't laugh at this time.

The sky was completely dark, and the huge vortex above the head still existed. Together with the harsh surroundings, it reminded everyone all the time that they were in danger.

After dinner, Xia Ren chatted with Lanaya, and saw a black figure walking towards the base alone, after thinking about it, he also followed.

Professor Qin sat cross-legged in front of the grave, noticing Xia Ren approaching, he raised his eyelids slightly.

The two sat together for a while without saying a word.

"I've lived so long, I've died several times, I've been to many funerals."

Professor Qin opened his mouth and told about his past.

Xia Ren knew that he needed a personal confidant at this time, so he didn't interrupt, waiting for him to continue talking.

"A lot of age."

Professor Qin said intermittently.

"I am 55 years old this year, and I even attended the funeral of my parents. The feeling of nostalgia at that time is still engraved in my soul until now, and I can't get rid of it. To this day, apart from my children, even I My favorite wife died too."

"Maybe I'll die too."

"Gradually, I want to understand the meaning of death."

"The dead don't really need a grave."

Professor Qin looked at the snowdrift in front of him and said: "The ones who need a grave are the ones who survived, because once they die, they lose all consciousness and become a pile of rotting flesh. Grieving, they left the world completely.

And that's why death is so scary, so...frightening.What people are afraid of is not losing, but not being able to find something that can be replaced. This is the meaning of the tomb. "

Professor Qin muttered, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Maybe anyone can become a philosopher when he is in a bad mood.

Xia Ren always felt that Professor Qin's two sentences just now were somewhat familiar, and then he remembered, didn't the criminal investigation expert Huang Qiuyuan also say something similar?

Gradually, Professor Qin's voice became weaker and weaker, and it was too small to be heard.

Xia Ren felt something was wrong.

"Professor Qin?"

He shook Professor Qin's shoulder, but the other person's body seemed to have lost all support and fell straight down.

Under his body, the hot blood has already melted a large expanse of ice and snow.

Chapter 113 Mountains of Madness: Sleepless Night

Professor Qin is dead.

His attitude was very firm, he cut the artery in his groin with a scalpel, and then chatted with Xia Ren for such a long time, there was no possibility of rescue.

By the time Xia Ren called his teammates from outside the base, he had already swallowed his last breath.

Professor Qin has always been the core of the rescue team. His death undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to the already depressed people.

Three of his students burst into tears on the spot, and their voices were mixed in the cold wind and spread far away.

After crying, those who survived will continue to live. They set up lights in the dark and buried Professor Qin's bones with the scientific research team.
