"Fortunately, I understood the hint of the curse in time and found these pendants before the mission started."

"But we haven't figured out the specific function of the pendant until now? He Fei, it's been so long, have you analyzed the function of the pendant?" Finally, after patiently waiting for He Fei to explain to Peng Hu and others, , Cheng Ying, who has always been very curious, couldn't sit still. She brought up old things on the spot and asked He Fei about the function of the pendant. Cheng Ying was like this. Tang Meng, who was observing the pendant with a frown, also showed a look of confusion. In fact, he had obtained the pendant since then. From the beginning, the two women were always concerned about this object and wanted to understand the function of the pendant. Cheng Ying was like this, Tang Meng was like this, and Zhao Ping, who was the first to take out the pendant to look at it, was also paying attention to this object, but it was a pity...

From the silent observation movements of the man with glasses, it can be seen that he has not understood the mystery until now. It is conceivable that even Zhao Ping, who has always had a top-notch IQ, cannot understand the purpose of the pendant and is no smarter than Zhao Ping. How can He Fei achieve great enlightenment after spending so much time? Therefore, in the face of Cheng Ying's questioning again, He Fei could only smile bitterly in response to express his lack of IQ and the ability to understand it yet, but...

In order not to affect the team's morale, He Fei just shook his head and braced himself, reminding the team members who were suppressing and confused: "Of course, although I still can't figure out the function of the pendant, I am at least certain of one thing, that is The pendant is useful to us. Even if it has nothing to do with survival, it actually has other benefits. Wearing it is always right!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too. You have to know that this thing is a curse hint. We are looking for it. Since it is a curse hint, the pendant must be useful. Anyway, I don't believe that this thing can be an ordinary pendant." Continue. After He Fei's words, Chen Shuihong, who had always been mute, finally saw the opportunity to express his opinion. He guessed He Fei's intention in an instant and cooperated with the youth to boost morale. Not to mention, being echoed by Chen's words, he was still a little discouraged. Everyone's mood recovered, and they agreed with He Fei's logical analysis. Sure enough, after learning that there were benefits to wearing a pendant, Su Xiaomei, who just claimed to be afraid of the pendant's terrifying appearance, quickly took the pendant back. The other newcomers also treated the pendant as if it was a life-saving straw. Tuck the collar back.

Seeing this, He Fei first secretly praised Fatty ‎‏​‏‏​‏​‎‏​‏‎‏‏‏ for his cleverness. Then he stood up and walked towards the tent door. He came to the edge and opened the zipper. In an instant, a wave of The cold wind rushed towards his face, catching him off guard. He Fei shivered on the spot.

So cold!

Now He Fei finally believed Chen Xiaoyao's words. Such a low temperature can indeed be summarized as dripping water turning into ice. Looking around the outside world against the cold wind, he saw that the camp was basically dead. Except for a few piles of extinguished bonfires remaining around, the entire camp It was completely dark. I raised my hand to look at the time on my watch, only to realize that the time had already reached 23:00 in the middle of the night. The teachers and students living in other tents must have rested at this moment. After taking a look at the outside situation, they maintained a solemn expression. , He Fei retracted his tent, and then told everyone: "It's getting late, we should rest, as for tonight's vigil arrangements..."

As mentioned above, considering that it was too late, He Fei, who knew that he would not be able to do anything without sleep, ordered everyone to rest. However, just when he was about to discuss the arrangements for the vigil with everyone, before He Fei could finish his words, the other side remained silent. But Zhao Ping suddenly spoke. He straightened his neck tie first, then faced He Fei and said calmly: "Let me guard the first shift tonight."

……………

The night in the snow-capped mountains was deathly silent and calm, and the time came to midnight unknowingly.

"Hey, Solkov, wake up, wake up."

Inside the tent, the bonfire in the center had long been extinguished and was replaced by darkness. A dozen students who were chatting happily at first were now getting into sleeping bags and falling asleep. However, at this moment, Solkov, who was curled up in a thick sleeping bag, felt Someone was shaking him, and some sounds were buzzing in his ears.

"Well……"

As the shaking and the sound continued together, Solkov opened his eyes. In the blur, he saw Sipskin sleeping next to him, shaking himself continuously, and seemed to be saying something.

Finally, due to Sipskin's frequent shaking, Solkov was forced to wake up, straightened up, and first looked around to the left and right, and saw that other people were still sleeping. He rubbed his eyes, and Solkov looked unhappy. , asked in a low voice to Sipskin, who was already dressed next to him:

"Sipkin, don't you need to sleep? If you don't sleep, I will still sleep!"

"Haha, I'm sorry." Seeing that the other party was finally woken up by him and apologized, Sipskin hurriedly explained in a low voice: "I really want to go to the toilet right now, but I don't dare to go out alone. You Will you come with me?"

"What? That's why you woke me up?" When he heard that the other party woke him up to go to the toilet with him, Solkov suddenly felt unhappy, glared and cursed: "This is a snow-capped mountain, where is the toilet?" ?You can just go out if you need to pee. Even if you are afraid of the dark, you can still stand at the door and pee?"

"Of course I know there is no toilet here, but I don't just pee..."

Solkov, who knew that the other party wanted a larger size, completely understood, so he showed a tangled expression. If he could, he didn't want to get up in the middle of the night and accompany this guy out to get cold. However, considering the friendship between the two, in the end, Maintaining a displeased look on his face, Solkov began to get dressed.

"You bastard really have a lot of things to do. You eat so much at night and it's not convenient before going to bed. But now you want to trouble me. Also, don't you just want to relieve yourself? How afraid of the dark are you..."

"Hey, please keep your voice down and don't wake other people up, otherwise it will cause public outrage."

Accompanied by a burst of cursing, Solkov, who had put on his cotton-padded clothes, accompanied Sipskin out of the tent with a very reluctant expression, and tiptoed to the outside world. Sure enough, the sub-zero low temperature instantly made the two of them shivering. They thought it was winter. It was cold enough in the city, but unexpectedly it was ten times colder here. Fortunately, they were wearing thick clothes, so they could hold on for a while. At this moment, looking at the pitch-black camp, the two of them hurriedly took out their mobile phones for lighting, using the light emitted by their mobile phones. Glimmer, the movement begins.

First of all, it is certain that no one dares to shout in the camp where the team lives. Not to mention that this kind of behavior is extremely unqualified. Once discovered, your reputation will be ruined and you may even be punished. At this point, the two of them walked slowly forward through the snow, slowly heading towards the edge of the camp.

"Hey, Sipkin, it's almost done. How far do you have to go? This is enough. Let's finish it quickly and go back to bed when you're done!"

"Okay, that's it. I'll go to the squatting pit over there first. You wait for me here, but don't leave..."

"Don't worry, I won't leave, so hurry up!"

After bypassing the tents and many long-extinguished fires, the two came to a low-lying location outside the camp. It was already a hundred meters away from the camp and the location was remote. It was very suitable for solving problems. Seeing this, Soloko The husband was a little impatient and hurriedly urged his companion to relieve himself. Sipushkin didn't do any ink. After saying hello to the other party, he covered his butt that was about to erupt. Sipushkin took action immediately and ran to the low-lying area on the right to start solving the problem, while Soloko Husband also kept his promise and waited where he was.

If you are in a city, it is destined to be dark at midnight, but the snow-capped mountains are a little different. The altitude here is higher and the temperature is low all year round. The snow all over the mountains has the effect of reflecting light. Under the waning moon, the ground is not dark. , rather like a huge carpet that emits a shimmering light. With the reflected shimmering light from the snow, the visibility is greatly improved. Even if it is a hundred meters away from the camp, if you look closely, you can actually still see the camp. of many scenes.

"Ah, I'm freezing to death, Sipskin, you bastard, you dragged me out in the middle of the night to suffer with you!" At this moment, looking at the blurry figure squatting in a pothole ten meters away, he knew clearly that the other party was talking loudly. Solkov became more and more unhappy, so he lowered his voice and cursed the other party. He looked down at the screen of his mobile phone and saw that the time was close to 1 o'clock in the morning. Of course, considering that he had already come out, after scolding Sipskin, Solkov I started to do it, planning to take this opportunity to pee.

Let’s not talk about how Solkov, who was not far away, was relieving himself. On the opposite side, Sipskin, who was squatting in a pothole, was really uncomfortable. Because the temperature in the snowy mountains was too low, as his buttocks were exposed to the outside world, the young man experienced it instantly. The low temperature was cruel, so he was grinning from the cold. Although this was true, the release process was very comfortable. After all, removing the waste from the body was a relaxing process. Soon, after the waste from the body was released, Sipskin quickly took out the paper, but...

Hooray!

While Sipkin was rummaging through his trouser pockets, suddenly he heard the sound of wind, and without any warning, accompanied him.

Following a whistling sound, a cold wind came from behind, whizzing past Sipkin at lightning speed.

Opposite‎‏​‏‏​‏​‎‏​‏‎‏‏‏…

"call!"

The end of the release of urine made Solkov, who was still unhappy just now, feel a little more balanced. After pulling back the zipper of his pants, Solkov instinctively turned around, and with the help of the reflection of the snow, he saw a figure in the pothole on the opposite side. There was no movement as he squatted on the spot. Upon seeing this, Solkov, who knew that Sipskin was not done yet, cursed secretly again and lowered his head helplessly to fiddle with his cell phone.

Since there was no network signal in the snow-capped mountains, Solkov, who was unable to browse the Internet as usual, had to turn on the video and watch it out of boredom. He didn’t know how long he watched it, and he didn’t know what happened during the period. As he finished watching a video, When my body was getting colder and I was about to die, I suddenly came back to look at the time, only to find that the time had unknowingly reached 1:15 in the morning.

After looking at the time, Solkov couldn't help being surprised, and immediately looked back behind him. However, when he looked back, he saw that there were still figures in the pothole opposite. Sipkin, who had first relieved himself, was still squatting on the spot!

A full 20 minutes have passed, and the other party is still relieving himself? And it never ends! ?

"Hey! Sipskin, aren't you done yet? Do you know what time it is? Have you been squatting for too long?"

Seeing that Sipskin was still squatting in the pit, with some doubts, Solkov called out tentatively, urging the figure opposite him loudly, but strangely, the other person did not respond, and just squatted in silence.

(You must be freezing, right?)

Solkov was startled when he saw that the other party neither answered nor made any move. He subconsciously thought that the other party was frozen, but then he thought about it and realized that something was wrong. He immediately denied this guess. It is true that the temperature here is very low, but regardless of No matter what, it would not reach the point of freezing a person to death, and it was even less possible to freeze a heavily-clothed person to death in just 20 minutes. Didn't he just stay there for 20 minutes? Apart from getting colder and colder, I didn't actually feel anything else. Since I wasn't frozen, it was even less possible for Sipskin, who was wearing thicker clothes than me, to freeze.

"Sipkin, what are you doing? Talking? Hey!"

In the following time, Solkov tried to shout a few more times, but it was of no use. No matter how he shouted, the other party never moved. He just maintained his initial squatting posture. Seeing that the shouting for a long time had no results, finally Solkov became anxious. Instead of doing useless work, he raised his legs and walked to the opposite side, straight towards Sipskin, who had been motionless for a long time.

Walking through the snow to the low-lying area, he saw Sipskin still squatting on the same spot as before. However, when Solkov raised his phone and shined the light-emitting screen directly at the other party, he saw that the other party's body surface There is something extra, some kind of natural substance that only exists in the cold winter...

That's frost, the kind of freezing frost that only appears when exposed to extremely low temperatures for a long time.

At this moment, Sipuskin's whole body was covered in frost, covered from head to toe with a layer of ice crystal frost!

Seeing this scene, Solkov was shocked! He was frightened on the spot, his body trembled and his eyes were wide open. The corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned pale. His wide eyes stared at the frozen Sipkin! In addition to being shocked, my mind was filled with incomprehensible doubts. What's going on? The other party was actually frozen! But this is unreasonable and unscientific? You have only been outside for 20 minutes, but how can you freeze someone in 20 minutes? Aren't you still fine? So what happened to Sipuskin? How did he become like this! ?

Solkov was shocked by his companion's sudden freezing, and his intense confusion made him panic. In the panic, he didn't know what to do. He just stared at his companion in stunned silence for a long time. Only then did Solkov react. In addition, because he really didn't believe that the other party would be frozen, when he came to his senses, with the last glimmer of hope, Solkov stretched out his right hand, then raised his hand and patted the opponent lightly, using the slightest touch. He gently patted Sipkin, who was frozen in front of him.

Next, a terrible phenomenon occurred that made Solkov even more horrified and even exceeded his understanding.

Alright.

When fingers lightly touch Sipskin's shoulder

At that moment, the other party's shoulder made a light sound, followed by the light sound. The next moment, cracks appeared on the other party's shoulder. There were more and more cracks, and they spread more and more. They quickly spread throughout the body at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the entire body.

The body was full of cracks, and then...

La la la!

Sipskin began to collapse, instantly disintegrating like an ice sculpture that had been violently smashed, shattering into ice slag and becoming a pile of ice crystal particles that could not be seen as human in appearance! ! !

When Sipkin died, not only was his body left intact, but his body was turned into a pile of meaningless ice shards.

But, this is impossible? As a college student in the Department of Biology, Solkov understands the human body. He knows that low temperature can freeze people to death, and he knows that excessive low temperature can freeze people to death. However, even if a person freezes to death, it will not actually break. Not to mention that the unique fiber material of the human body is difficult to be destroyed by low temperature, the bones inside the human body alone can withstand the low temperature of minus 100 degrees and remain solid, so even if it is really broken, it will not be broken to this extent, unless...

Unless the temperature reaches above minus 200 degrees, reaching the lowest temperature known to science, absolute zero, which is minus 273 degrees!

At minus 273 degrees, any material in the world will collapse, even the indestructible reinforced concrete will fall apart at this abnormally low temperature.

And what’s even more terrifying is…

Judging from the degree of fragmentation of Sipuskin, it seems that the low temperature it encountered was still above absolute zero, an abnormally low temperature lower than minus 273 degrees! ! !

At this moment, looking at the pile of ice debris turned by human beings at his feet, Solkov was shaking like chaff. He was frightened, and his limbs were cold from the terrifying picture in front of him, which was even more terrifying than a nightmare. The phone was accidentally dropped while shaking, and his mouth opened as wide as possible in fear. Although his body was shaking and his mouth was wide open, he couldn't make a sound. He just stared at the ice slag with fearful eyes. During the period of staring, the young man instinctively retreated and used his hair. His weak legs staggered back, retreating nearly ten meters. Then, Solkov turned around and ran in panic towards the opposite camp.

He was so frightened that he didn't even bother to pick up his phone. He just rolled and crawled and ran as fast as possible, intending to escape back to the camp as fast as possible.

only……

(Um?)

He had just turned back and ran two steps. The next moment, Solkov stopped moving. His movements came to an abrupt end, and the reason why he stopped running was also Quite simply, it was the wind. A cold wind that could easily penetrate thick cotton clothes hit the young man head-on as he turned back.

[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.

No, no, the white shadow did not disappear, but was blocked. It was temporarily blocked by a cold wind blowing from the side. The cold wind mixed with a lot of snow whizzed past the middle position between Solkov and the white figure, and then The cold wind howled and blew by. When Solkov continued to observe, the white shadow on the opposite side still existed, but...

Different from the initial distance of 50 meters between the two, after the cold wind blew, the distance between the two parties shortened. The white shadow was now significantly closer, and unexpectedly appeared at a position of only 20 meters!

It took 1 second for the cold wind to blow, and only 1 second for the vision to be blocked. But it was precisely in this extremely short 1 second that the white shadow actually crossed the 30-meter distance in an instant, suddenly closing the distance between the two parties!

As the strange white shadow got closer, Solkov could see the white shadow clearly this time, and finally managed to see the white shadow clearly. It was a strange existence with no gender characteristics at all. The whole body was white except for white. In addition, the other party also had hair, a snow-white hair that was so dense that it completely covered his entire head!

At this moment, Bai Ying stood motionless on the opposite side, staring at Solkov with a seemingly spying posture!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah ah ah..."

As if he saw something more terrifying than the devil, Solkov groaned when he saw the tall white figure approaching out of thin air. The moment he saw the white figure clearly, he let out a series of whimpering moans that were almost changed in pitch. He wanted to shriek. He screamed, but his already tight throat couldn't let him scream wantonly, so he could only whine and moan, trembling all over as he was completely frightened and stunned, and even the whole person was incontinent, and then...

Solkov turned around and ran. The next moment he smelled a strong sense of death, he ran regardless. Unfortunately, he failed.

The reason for the failure was not that he was not running fast, but that a cold wind blew again during the period.

A large amount of snow was rising on the ground, and the cold wind enveloped the white figure. At the same time, Solkov just turned around, and then, he found something in front of him, a tall white body standing at zero distance. Standing in front of him, the white figure who was more than 20 meters away just now appeared inexplicably behind the young man, and was then hit head-on by Solkov who turned around in panic!

The moment his body came into contact with the white body, Solkov lost all feeling and was enveloped by an extremely cold low temperature. He could not move and could only stand there like a sculpture. As for the white figure so close at hand... …

When Solkov lost all movement, the white figure made a move. First he silently raised his arm, and then gently pressed his right hand as white as snow on Solkov's head.

And then……

Solkov froze, and white frost appeared on his body at a speed visible to the naked eye!
