The snow in the tundra to the west is still not melting, but the wilderness near Asgart has ushered in chūn days.レm♠思♥路♣客レ, the snow has faded and turned into snow to seep into the ground, but it does not bring vitality to everything like in the old days, but makes the living environment more demanding. If the snow containing the radiation is only piled on the ground, as long as it does not go deep into the snow layer, it will not reach the ground in terms of the radiation resistance of the wild creatures today.

But the penetration of snow into the ground is another concept.

That means that the amount of radiation in the stratum will increase, and the water from the snow water will be inedible in a short period of time. For some cave-dwelling creatures, it is even more devastating. The snow water with strong spokes enters their nests, even if they are unwilling to end their hibernation. For the sake of my own life, I had to pierce through the lichen and come to the chilly ground. ..

Plants will be subjected to the most demanding test, but after more than half a century of evolution. Most wilderness plants have developed a defense system against this phenomenon, whether it is herbaceous plants or all kinds of flowers and trees. Before winter begins, they will try to pierce their roots deeper, deep enough to reach groundwater sources. At that time, the groundwater was still edible, so these abnormal plants would continuously extract water and store them in the body as much as possible.

When the winter is about to end, they will stop all activities. As a result, the outer skin of the plant will quickly age, and the fibers will be tightened from a relatively loose mesh to a surface. So from the outside, all parts on the surface wither and die, while the roots under the ground become old and tough. Even violent gophers can't bite them, and when the snow melts and the strong radiating snow seeps into the ground, it cannot enter the plant through the loose fiber channels, thereby destroying its important internal tissues. ..

The water stored in the body before will help the plants to survive this most difficult period, and when the summer comes, the radiation of the ground water will settle or subside. These abnormal plants will shed old dead parts and grow new shoots.

Therefore, for plants, chūn days are deadly, and only in summer can they usher in a new life.

This is the law of survival in the wilderness. Both plants and mutant beasts must follow this law to survive. Plants can store and purify water in advance, and there are a small number of creatures in the mutant beasts that have the same function. Those who don't have water storage organs can only rely on the blood of other mutant beasts to survive, or break into human settlements to plunder clean water.

So from a certain perspective, chūn day is a lively season. It's just that unlike the lively excitement of the old age, the chūn days of the new age are the most killing time of the year.

Human beings are the smarter existences in the current life system on the earth. They can neither store clean water in their bodies in advance like the mutant plants, nor do they seldom attack their companions like the mutant beasts. After all, they are the first creatures on this planet who know how to make and use tools, even in the simplest settlements, even without advanced water purification equipment. However, there are always containers for storing water. Humans in the settlement area will store as much as possible clean drinking water before the chūn day, so as to survive the chūn day, which is more harsh than the cold winter.

This has also become the main reason for the alien beasts attacking the human settlements. The conflicts continue throughout the year, but the most severe.

Everything is for survival, whether it is humans or other creatures.

The same was true for Jin, except that it was not Fushui that threatened him, but his former companion who was chasing and killing him like a ghost.

Alice!

It has been almost a month since leaving Asgart that day and being attacked by Peder Fanny. During this month, Kim hid in the wilderness. At the very beginning, Alice didn't mean to kill him, and even helped him avoid Peder Fanny's attacks several times. Soon after, Pederfani received a new assignment and left. Alice talked to Jin several times in detail, and helped him deal with the injury by the way.

But the two did not reach a consensus after all.

For King, Buford Town gave him too much ties. He was born, grew up, and lived in this small town. The people in the town are more or less related to Kim, especially Old Peter. This man who looked like both a grandfather and a father runs through Jin's life trajectory, and he is Jin's biggest bondage. King can lose anyone, but he can't forgive the person who killed Old Peter.

If that person wasn't Alice but someone else, Kim would have turned his face away.

But that person was Alice again.

For this woman who loves to molest herself from time to time, Jin has a feeling that cannot be clearly stated. Be closer than your friends, and be more distant from your lover. Alice is like an untouchable lover, even if the two get closer in real life, Jin knows that they can't be together.

Because Alice is the man's forbidden, and Alice often put the brotherhood of that premature death on Jin's body, rather than the feelings between men and women. This gold is very clear, so he knows that he likes this older woman, but he will not take the initiative to admit it, even if only once.

In the first half of the negotiations, Alice hoped that King could stay away from this chaotic land. Going to a coastline settlement to find a city to stay in, you can get a good job with Jin's ability. And there is the territory of the Dark Council, and Jin will not be easily assassinated and attacked by that adult.

But Kim didn't compromise. He asked Alice to leave and leave the business between him and that person alone. He could not shoot Alice, after all, Alice was only executing orders at the time. But Jin never wanted to let go of that person, the person who gave him hope but brought him despair!

As a result, the negotiations broke down without reconciliation. Alice began to become cold, and gave Jin five days to escape. As soon as five days passed, she began to hunt down Jin. In fact, Jin had already expected such a result. The contradiction between the two lies in Alice's feelings and loyalty to the man.

Once there is no law to persuade herself to leave, Alice will become ruthless, so as to erase any possible threats for that person.

At this time, Alice was the real Queen of Frost.

The five days left for Jin is not only the last bit of affection Alice expresses to Jin, but also the time for Jin to make a choice. Undoubtedly, Kim did not change his choice. So five days later, Alice and King fought a fierce battle in the wilderness far from Asgart.

In the battle that lasted for nearly a day, Jin seized a hard-won opportunity to escape. In that battle, Alice still didn't try her best. But then, Alice became more and more cold, making every shot heavier than ever. Jin flies and flees, and the time for respite is getting less and less. Alice is like a ghost, which may appear at any time, which makes the situation of the overwhelmed Jin even more difficult.

The shadow of death is everywhere, and Jin is not surprised if he will die in the next second.

It's just that Old Peter's figure flickered in his mind from time to time, and it became the last motivation for Jin to persevere.

Thirteen hours have passed since the last time she was attacked, and Alice's attack frequency is getting higher and higher. Even if Jin had exhausted his means, he couldn't get rid of the Queen of Frost behind him. Once, Jin even led Alice to break into a medium-sized base. But half an hour later, that base will be history forever. The gold in exchange for only 35 hours of rest time.

In this chasing game, time becomes the key.

Alice clung to Jin as if she could not eat or drink. Jin didn't have time to rest, eat, or heal her injuries. His physical energy dropped again and again, and he was already approaching the limit. At this moment, Jin felt very light, and his vision began to appear, and his feeling became dull. All of this was due to the decline in physical fitness. He smiled bitterly, wondering if he could survive the next attack.

When he stumbled out of a low dry wood, Jin saw a ground base. It should have been rebuilt from an old military base. The base still retains a ground command building, garage, and even an airstrip. The entire base is surrounded by barbed wire, and a guard tower is set up every 100 meters. There are soldiers on duty on the guard tower, which does not seem simple.

The entrance of the base is a steel gate equipped with pulleys, and there are two self-propelled artillery on the gate as a defensive force. The two artillery pieces alone are the most powerful firepower that Jin has seen since wandering the wilderness for the past few months, not to mention the two hundred soldiers who are training in the guard towers and bases.

But more importantly is a sign hung at the entrance of the base, which clearly reads "Zero Point Technology Company" in large characters, and below it is a message of "Private heavy land, idlers do not enter".

Jin smiled bitterly, went around on his own, but returned to the vicinity of Asgart. He knew very well whose industry the Horizon Company belongs to, so Jin staggered towards the base gate.

At a distance of five hundred meters from the gate, Jin stopped suddenly. Following a ridge of bullets sweeping across the ground two meters before him, the soldiers shouted: "Stop, this is not a place for you to come. Vagrant, go back!"

Refugee?

Jin wiped a hand on his face, his fingertips covered with blood stained mud and sand. Looking at him again, wearing a cloak that he himself had forgotten to take it from, it was indeed no different from the refugees in the wilderness, no wonder the soldiers would cry like that.

The soldiers of the Horizon Company were already benevolent. Even when they visited other bases, Jin didn't even get a warning, and he would find a stream of bullets oncoming. But the passing of the soldiers did not allow Jin to make concessions. He said: "Open the door and I want to see your supervisor. I know who your boss is! Zero, I and I are his friends."

After a moment of silence, the soldiers’ laughter came from the guard tower: “Okay, don’t make trouble. If we weren’t allowed to kill people indiscriminately, we wouldn’t be able to hear jokes like you now. For the sake of God, come on. Get out, or you will break your legs and throw them into the wilderness to feed the wolves!"

How to do? Do you force a breakthrough? Jin Xun thought, his gaze swam back and forth on the two self-propelled artillery above the gate, looking for the dead corner of the artillery to cut into the safety zone in an instant. At this time, behind Jin's body, there was the roar of the off-road vehicle engine.

Jin turned around and saw an arrogant modified vehicle coming up the wilderness. The whole car was sprayed with black paint, and two paints of red and bright yellow were used to spray a pattern of flames on the underside of the car. The front of the car is equipped with a baffle covered with steel cones, and even the four wheels are welded with prismatic spikes. While the wheels were spinning, the mud and stone objects that rolled up the ground from time to time were shattered by sharp spikes, and sparks burst out immediately.

When I saw this car, the face of the soldier standing guard changed: "No, it's the supervisor's car. Hey, if you don't leave, I'll hit it!"

The soldier hurriedly raised his gun and aimed at Jin's body.

It should be a stern character.

Jin thought to himself, otherwise the soldiers wouldn't have such a big reaction.

The car drove to the gate in a flash, and a tall woman jumped out of the car. Her short hair was dyed fiery red, and when the wind blew it, it fluttered in the air like a flame. The woman glanced at Jin, her face sank, and then yelled at the door: "Are you all blind? Let a high-ranking person touch the door. Is the self-propelled artillery set by the old lady? Blow me this guy to death!"

The soldiers on the guard tower were startled, followed by the sound of people running. With the sound of the shell being loaded, the two self-propelled artillery on the gate began to adjust the angle of their attack. Jin smiled bitterly and raised his hand: "Don't be nervous, okay? If I were the enemy, I would have done it a long time ago. Wouldn't it be possible to wait for you to raise a cannon."

The woman made a "pause" gesture at the door, and then looked up and down Jin Dao: "Then tell me what you are here, stranger."

"News. I have a big news to sell to you. I believe that Zero will be interested."

"Oh, then what kind of compensation do you need?"

"Protection, at least 48 hours." Jin said with difficulty. From the moment he remembered, he never remembered when he showed weakness. But this time, he has been driven to a dead end by Alice. If there is no third-party force willing to give him asylum, he will not have time to rest and heal his injuries.

The woman nodded and said: "No wonder, I said that you are covered with injuries. And there are a few very subtle injuries. It seems that you were chased by a powerful guy."

"Why, don't you dare to take this business?" Jin Xiao asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ The woman said coldly: "Don't use the naive method of radical tactics against me. There is nothing to dare to dare, only worth and not. value."

She shouted at the soldier at the gate again: "Open the door!"

After receiving her order, the soldiers opened the door. Watching the extremely heavy steel door slowly slide open from both sides, Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The woman said at this time: "I hope your news is worth it, or you will find that I can be more cruel and ruthless than the murderer."

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life." Jin said again: "Then, let's ask?"

The woman raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "My name is Eva, let's get in the car."

After speaking, she jumped into the car first and waved to Jin. When Jin climbed into this arrogant car, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a pitch-black giant sword lying diagonally on the back seat. Those who like to use such an epee as a weapon are those who are not really strong or swindlers who slander the market.

Jin believes that this woman is the former because she has an uncomfortable breath in her body.
