walking poisonous mushroom

He Jinluo woke up groggy at the homestay, his first reaction was to call Xun Li: no one answered.

Dragging his somewhat swollen and numb body, he asked the hotel owner where Xun Li was going.

The boss's local accent was too strong, and his Xiling spoken language was barely there. It took a long time for him to understand clearly. Xun Li followed a group of people and took four snowmobiles to the north.

He was about to rent a snowmobile to go out, but the boss told him that it was a snowstorm outside and it was not suitable to go out.Money is easy to do, He Jinluo directly bought a snow buggy, regardless of the boss's good intentions to dissuade him, he plunged into the wind and snow.

Although it is summer, there are still occasional storms and snowstorms in the Arctic Circle, and the visibility is low. At this time, it is catching up with that "occasionally".

He Jinluo inquired about the trails of the four snowmobiles heading north all the way. He kept trying to call Xun Li on the way, but either there was no signal or no one answered.

Encountering some snowmobiles on the way, He Jinluo thought for a while, decided to find a residential house, and replaced the off-road vehicle with a motorcycle—the speed of off-road vehicles is too slow in this kind of place!

Xun Li didn't leave any clues for him to search for. After searching for a day and a night, he went further and further north, and drove further and further away.

He had been trying to dial Xun Li's number, and when he was about to despair, he finally got through!

Xun Li did not speak, but directly converted to real-time positioning.

Facing the wind, the speed of the snowmobile was extremely slow. Half an hour later, Xun Li's mobile phone was out of battery or signal, and the location suddenly disappeared.

He Jinluo drove forward based on memory, bumping all the way, and finally arrived near the location.

He stopped the car and shouted Xun Li's name, his voice drowned in the snowstorm.Suddenly, I smell a familiar pungent smell, which is corrosive, similar to NEP's biochemical bullet, but different!

He searched in the direction of the smell, and first found the injured hermit who had been covered by fresh snow.

Still alive!

Did Xun Li and Yin Ren have a conflict?

He Jinluo dug him out of the snow, put him in the leeward direction of the nearby rocks, and then stepped on the knee-high snow while shouting and looking for Xun Li.I stepped on several corpses along the way, and every time I turned them out in horror, and found that it was not Xun Li, I let it down with a sigh of relief.

Looking around and removing the corpse in front of him, there is a vast expanse of whiteness all around, only the whistling of the strong wind can be heard, and there is no trace of Xun Li at all.

How many more bodies?Is Xun Li in there?

He Jinluo began to panic, the snow was freezing cold, but he was sweating and his heart beat faster.

He called Xun Li again: Shut down!

"Xun Li! Xun Li!" He Jinluo almost went crazy.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a rope floating on the cliff—the cliff is leeward, there is almost no snow on the black rock wall, and the white rope is flying in the wind.

He Jinluo walked towards the rope in a strange way, wondering if he should climb up to find it, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the person lying behind the rock, it was Xun Li!

I woke up more than half an hour ago and got out of the snow to answer the phone. Now it is not completely covered by the snow, but I just don't know what to do.

"Xun Li!" He Jinluo almost rushed to dig Xun Li out of the snow.

Xun Li's heartbeat and breath were gone, and his hands were stretched into his neck, and there was still a little warmth!There must be help!The phone was connected more than half an hour ago!

"Xun Li! Xun Li, wake up, it's me!" He Jinluo's blood seemed to be boiled, his whole body was hot, his blood pressure was rising again, and his pupils began to dilate. I don't know if it was the daze before losing control or the dizziness caused by the suppressed emotions Dizzy, it seems that the vision is not clear.

He took off the goggles, hugged Xun Li, took off the frozen coat, untied his own coat to wrap around Xun Li, and hugged him tightly.

"Xun Li, you haven't watched me get rid of No. 24's control completely, you won't die. You have paid so much and worked hard for so long, but in the end I turned into a monster, are you willing? If I were here Out of control, the first one will eat your meat, are you willing? Let me tell you that I know, I never asked, and you never said, but I just know."

Xun Li's ice-like body seemed to have calmed down He Jinluo a lot.

After an unknown amount of time, Xun Li slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was tightly wrapped, and his upper body was still a little hot.

A thick layer of snow had piled up on He Jinluo's hat and back, and his chin rested on top of his head.

There was a smile on Xun Li's tired and weak face: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would hug me and rescue me."

"I thought you were dead." He Jinluo's voice was calm but choked with sobs.

"What will you do if I die?"

He Jinluo shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then what do you know? Didn't you just say you knew?"

If Xun Li died at this time, he might become a walking corpse, lost in this ice and snow forever.

No, it has nothing to do with the environment. If Xun Li dies, he will turn into a monster, just like the one that killed He Zanyu back then, staring blankly at the living person alone in the dark night, and pounces on the other person's flesh and blood, like Eat their meat and offal like a delicacy...

"If I don't come to look for you, will you die?" He Jinluo seemed to be talking to himself, with a low voice.

"Yes, baby, you saved me this time."

"It was you who saved yourself."

"Yes, you also saved yourself." Xun Li smiled meaningfully.

"Xun Li, what happened? Why did you leave me alone? Leave me alone in this kind of place? Is this also training me?"

"I almost died, and you still say this." Xun Li moved his body slightly, and finally regained some consciousness, "Did you finally realize that you can't leave me?"

"You said those words, like last words..."

"I don't die so easily, I just have to be prepared to die. If I really can't come back, at least I should let you know something."

He Jinluo shook his head: "Xun Li, I know what you said and why you asked. I am not your experiment, not your task, nor your asset. What has happened has not The hypothetical meaning, no matter what reason you used the number 24 for me at the time, everything you did afterwards was for fulfillment, or for redemption.

"You survived because of this experiment. In fact, you are still a victim of the experiment. You saved your life and lost too much. You wanted to heal yourself, but accidentally used the last medicine you left on me, so you You can only achieve yourself in me. A complete me is a complete you; if I fail, you fail; if I become a monster, you will become a monster.

"Xun Li, it's not just that I can't leave you, you can't leave me either."

Xun Li chuckled, stretched out his hands to hold He Jinluo's face, fixed his head, and kissed it.

This time, He Jinluo didn't resist. He hugged Xun Li with some firmness after accepting his fate, and the peace of mind and relief after finding his way;

What is their relationship?An enemy who was jealous when they met?Doctors and patients?friend?Not relatives, not lovers, they are just two human beings who are no longer human. Because of the same experiment, one is already a monster, and the other may become a monster at any time. Because they have experienced it, they can empathize with each other, and because they have lost it, they will sympathize with each other.

Kissing without any lust, for He Jinluo, is like hugging his own shadow to comfort each other.For Xun Li, it is the only temperature in this world of ice and snow, and even in the whole world.

"Baby, that SUV is good, but the tire is bad, you can turn on the heat in it."

"Then wait for me for a while."

He Jinluo took off his coat and wrapped it around Xun Li, turned around and ran into the off-road vehicle to clean off the snow inside. It may have been too long in the cold, and it took a long time to ignite the engine.

Finally there is heating!

He Jinluo closed the sunroof, turned around and put Xun Li on the back seat of the off-road vehicle, shivering from the cold.

"Come here quickly, I'll see how cold you are. Although you won't catch a cold, you won't feel comfortable in the cold." Xun Li hugged He Jinluo into his arms.

He Jinluo was also polite, hugging Xun Li tightly.

The two hugged each other to sleep almost every night, but they had never felt so warm and secure.

"You wear too little, you are not afraid of the cold, but you will get frostbite?"

"It's not too cold, the temperature here is not too high."

"You're frozen into ice cubes and you can't say that!"

"That's because of excessive blood loss."

"Xun Li, next time, if you dare to leave me alone without saying anything, I will kill you, and I will do what I say."

"Are you willing to?"

"I'm not kidding you."

He Jinluo used a little force to vent his anger, but heard the sound of bones breaking, and hurriedly let go, groping on Xun Li's back, "What's going on? The ribs are broken with this little force?"

"It was not broken by you." Xun Li smiled helplessly.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Would you still hug me like that?"

"Xun Li! Can't be serious when it's time!"

He Jinluo frowned, and checked Xun Li up and down. The wrist bones and ribs were still not visible, and the blood-stained trouser legs were frozen to ice and had not completely melted.

"You...how did you do this? Is it okay?"

"Yes, it just takes some time, just to extend the vacation."

"This...it hurts just to look at it." He Jinluo poked through the leather cover of the off-road vehicle seat as he spoke, tore off a large piece, and tried to put the bone back in place.

"Luckily I don't feel any pain."

"It's not a coincidence, if you felt pain, you wouldn't make it like this." He Jinluo took a few deep breaths before giving up, "Forget it, I still don't play around, getting it wrong will get in the way, so I have to go to the hospital. "

Xun Li took out He Jinluo's cell phone from He Jinluo's coat, and contacted Pei Yixin to arrange for someone to come to meet him.

"Don't worry baby, it'll be fine."

"Can you tell me about the mission?" Xun Li mentioned the completion of the mission on the phone.

"Grab something... Where's my coat?"

"outside."

He Jinluo ran off the off-road vehicle and picked up Xun Li's coat, which could be broken off with a little effort from the cold.

Xun Li took out the glass tube wrapped in a metal casing from his inner bag.

"what is this?"

"Blood, yours." Probably because of weakness, Xun Li's voice was unexpectedly gentle.
