Living body

It has been almost a year since the trip to the Pole.

Shen Li resigned from his original job and stopped running around in the wilderness. Compared with the truth of the world, he now cherishes the hard-won life more.Occasionally wander around in stable cities in various countries, read a local newspaper, and drink a cup of hot tea.

However, when he looked at the crowd in a daze, he always felt that he seemed to be looking for something, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot again.

There are 7,346,150,226 people in the world, 259 people are born and 106 people die every minute. We pass by countless people every day. Some kind of rule determines whether each other is a passer-by or an indelible part of life. .

Shen Li put down the newspaper, put the money under the plate and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a piece of bright red steak in the butcher shop next to him, that kind of too bright red was neither pork nor beef and mutton.

Shen Li frowned and waved to the waiter: "Hello, this is my first time here, so I don't know what special food you can taste here."

"A lot, like..."

Shen Li ordered a few items according to the contents of the waiter's newspaper, then suddenly pointed to the butcher shop and said, "What kind of meat is that bright red? Is it unique to this place? I haven't seen it anywhere else."

"That's tundra venison." The waiter said, "It tastes great when it's cold. It's said to be high in protein and fat."

"yes……"

【I don't want to do things you don't like. 】

【It was you who taught me... Pain. 】

Language is a gift given by God to distinguish human beings from other creatures. This gift can be a lie or a sincerity.

However, only the living have the right to seek the truth.

Shen Li paid the bill with a smile, but none of the ordered items were moved.

After staying in this city for several days, Shen Li planned to leave, but before boarding the plane, he found himself being watched.

At the corner of the passage, when Shen Li was holding up the suitcase and was about to knock it down, he was stopped by a man wearing sunglasses.

"Shen Li."

The other party easily saw through his anti-tracking, and unloaded the suitcase with one hand.

"Who are you?"

The action of the man taking off his sunglasses drew out a black tag around his neck.

A black tag engraved with a bronze human head, just like the original 27 Qin Beichen, except that the number on it is 57.

Shen Li looked at the man with hostility and guard in his eyes, but the other party put a piece of equipment in his hands indifferently:

"Don't you want to do something for the dead Shen Ye?"

A video that Shen Li had never seen was played on the screen in his hand, and Shen Ye in it said with a smile:

【Brother, I have something to tell you...】

A month later, a black and red icebreaker sailed into the polar circle.

One person, one electric sled, went deep into the hinterland of the snow field, in a silent open space.

Shen Li got off the sleigh and looked at the vast snowfield with a blank expression.

Quiet, lonely, like a white cemetery.

There was nothing here, Shen Li stared blankly for a long time, until the sun slanted and the piercing chill came up, he woke up and began to camp with his belongings for the night.

It was the first time for the experienced Shen Li to survive the night of dozens of degrees below zero without any equipment. He only carried a concentrator, a knife, a blanket and a few pieces of chocolate, all of which were out of stock. It was stuffed in the bag after many years of habit.

Shen Li dug a snow hole for himself in a sheltered place, wrapped himself in a blanket, hugged the stove, and got in with a knife in his hand.

As the temperature drops, night slowly covers the earth...

Shen Li woke up when the first rays of sunlight shone on his body. The snow cave was covered with warmth by him, and there was still a little flame left in the energy-concentrating furnace. After sleeping peacefully for a night, it was an unprecedentedly sweet sleep.

Shen Li put away the knife and climbed out, looked around, the weather last night was fine, there was no strong wind or snow, everything around was still as it was before the sun set, peaceful.

Nothing has changed, the peaceful and peaceful snowfield has been like this all night——

Predation season without snow should not be like this, unless something drives all the animals around here.

Shen Li was carrying his backpack, wandering aimlessly on this snowy field, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't seem to care about anything.

This area is very clean, there is only pure snow, and the slope is not even undulating, and the surrounding scene can be seen clearly at a glance, probably because the avalanche caused by the previous explosion buried all the abyss .

Shen Li walked around the edge, and the day was almost over.

Back at the campsite, Shen Li lay on his back in the snow, staring blankly at the sky, it was extremely clear and vast, but there was no place for him.

"I know...you're not dead." Shen Li said, closing his eyes.

Shen Li had no intention of leaving the next day, there was only one piece of chocolate left in his bag, he broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth.The fuel in the concentrator was very low, so he could only look for something to ignite, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything.

When night came, Shen Li once again hid in the snow cave with the stove in his arms. The flame was completely extinguished in the middle of the night, and he almost failed to get up the next morning.

On the third day, only half of the chocolate was left.Shen Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, licked it and hid it in his bosom. He had already left the concentrator outside, and he only relied on his own heat to maintain it throughout the night. It hurts, and I finally shivered until dawn, almost unable to get up.

After the last bit of chocolate was melted in his mouth, Shen Li lay on his back in the snow and laughed for a long time:

"...so stupid...Qin Beichen, if you don't want to come out, I won't come here again..."

Stiff limbs lost their temperature little by little on the gradually melting ice and snow. Shen Li squinted his eyes to see the dazzling sky light and his consciousness began to blur. Suddenly a black shadow appeared in his line of sight, and the light shone from behind him. , like a pair of golden wings.
