Chapter 692

Su Huilan was stunned when she saw the ice.

They walked through the dense fog and did not know how many times they searched back and forth, and finally came to this magical land. To be exact, there is no soil here, only ice. Thick ice covered the earth, endless. Ice cracks are scattered and intertwined during their passage like lightning.

I don't know when the sun in the sky has become seven.

A mountain made of solid ice hangs upside down from the sky, like a huge ice, hanging on the top of the sky.

When Su Huilan saw it for the first time, she only felt that it was magnificent, a sense of heroism of nature she had never seen before, which deeply shocked her heart.

Like the mountain people who have never been far away, they see the skyscrapers in the city for the first time; Or people who have never been far from the city run into the sunrise on the Huangshan cloud sea for the first time.

But then came a rare serenity.

It was the purest ice she had ever seen in the world. This purity affected her body, so that in her consciousness, she felt that she was a newborn baby.

She thought of her hometown. In the winter of that small town, it often snowed heavily, which made her hands red with cold. There are always long ice edges hanging on the eaves and trees. When she was a child, she couldn't help touching them, regardless of the frostbite on her hands.

She thought of her father, an elder who drank all day and spent his life in depression, but was very strict with him. Occasionally, she would be gentle. He will accompany her to make a snowman in the snow in winter; Will secretly throw gifts from the chimney at Christmas; She even pretended to be Santa Claus once, which made her think that Santa Claus was also an alcoholic, because his long white beard still exuded the smell of wine.

A cold wind brushed her face and pulled back her thoughts that had drifted away. She remembered that they had just crossed here from a hot world. The temperature difference between the two sides was probably the temperature difference between the Sahara desert in summer and Siberia in winter.

When you travel in Egypt in summer, you will feel very hot wearing a thin windbreaker to block the wind and sand. Then, you get on the time plane and fly to Novosibirsk in winter. At this time, you will regret that you didn't wear more cotton padded jackets at the beginning?

Su Huilan wears the most clothes among all people. Except that she was soaked in the lake several times in ramra, she has no less clothes, but others are not so lucky, especially Mrs. Larry. She only wore a thin skirt. Her clothes didn't have time to rescue when the giant moon came.

"No, it will freeze. We have to find a way or go back." petru said anxiously, distressed by Mrs. Larry.

"I can't go back for the time being," Dewar said, pointing to the frozen lake behind him. "The temperature here is very cold, and the lake is frozen. If you want to go back, you have to wait until it fogs. But we can't last that long on the cold lake."

She said, pulling off her shawl and putting it on Mrs. Larry. "Everyone, take off your clothes and give them to those who need them."

In fact, she doesn't wear many clothes herself, that is, the cage base often worn by Burmese and Vietnamese people. It's very thin. When her shawl is pulled off, there are only personal clothes left, but Dewar is obviously not afraid of the cold.

Su Huilan also took off her coat. "Let's wear this for my wife. I have many clothes."

Mrs. Larry didn't refuse either. She took it, put it on her body and said, "thank you."

But this is not enough to resist the cold on the ice sheet. Dewar said: "we have to move forward quickly. We must find the tribe of the ithsa people."

Petru said, "how do you know there must be etsas here?"

Mrs. Larry said, "theoretically, every altar is guarded by an itsa. If there is an altar here, there must be the footprints of the itsa."

"But it's freezing and snowy here. It's a bit like the Arctic circle. Such a climate is obviously unfit for human habitation. Will there ever be a geographical phenomenon similar to glacier movement? You see, there are no animals here. Maybe even humans have been extinct! It's hard for a single race to continue," Su Huilan said.

Mrs. Larry nodded: "it's possible, but we have to look for it. Now that we've come here, there's no reason to go back, and we don't have a way to go back."

Dewar agreed with Mrs. Larry. "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" asked Alice. "There seems to be no way here."

Dewar pointed to the iceberg hanging upside down from the sky in the distance with the soul of the wind in his hand, "go there."

"Isn't that a mirage?" said Alice.

Dewar shook his head and said, "I feel there are strange mental fluctuations, which are different from what we have encountered before."

Su Huilan felt it, too. Unlike other places in ramra, the powerful spiritual force field they could feel before still exists on the ice sheet, but the upside down iceberg in the distance emits another kind of spiritual fluctuation, which seems to directly affect people's consciousness, just because it is far away and not too strong.

Su Huilan agreed with Dewar's suggestion. She is the most energetic person in the team except dewar. Now that she has agreed, others will naturally have no objection.

The team began to advance in silence. Everything on the ice sheet was quiet except a slight wind. Their footsteps stepped on the ice without a sound.

Despite concerted action, the atmosphere is always strange. Without Aoki and situ, the team lacked leaders, and the trust between people seemed not enough. Therefore, although the number was small, it was divided into several small groups.

Petru and Mrs. Larry went together, and Alice, as Mrs. Larry's assistant, naturally followed them.

Among all those who entered ramra, Dewar appeared last. Everyone was unfamiliar with him, and Su Huilan kept a certain distance from her. Therefore, Dewar walked in front alone. Although it was strange that Su Huilan and Ivan walked together, it was also a natural phenomenon.

Su Huilan now regrets that she shouldn't have listened to situ and Aoki and asked them to start their altars alone. Although this ensures efficiency, after dispersion, everything becomes unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Now she knows how important a team leader is. No matter situ or Aoki, as long as there is someone around, you will feel a sense of security no matter what happens.

She sometimes thought, if she had to choose again, who would she follow? After thinking about it, she thought she would still follow Aoki. After all, it was him when she came.

From the time when they were in Wuzhong, when they conducted space box tests in the earth's laboratory, to later, they established deep friendship in the storms of the South Pacific, the disaster of the giant moon of the sangqi tribe, and later in the space-time static zone. If there is a person in ramlari who is completely trustworthy, that is Aoki. Even to some extent, there is no more trustworthy person in the whole world.

After separating from Aoki and situ, Pedro and Mrs. Larry had to go to the altar of fire to check the start-up, and the rest had to look for the altar of ice.

But in this way, those who enter ramra will be divided into three teams, and it is very difficult to regroup. Alice has been in a bad state of mind since the death of Boris and Anderson. She doesn't want to be separated from Mrs. Larry. Su Huilan also agreed that we should not separate.

So they went to the altar of fire where the Tosho tribe was located.

When they walked through the fog and followed the guidance of the half fire soul in petru's hand to the hot world, they saw a Golden Pyramid standing alone in the endless desert.

It was more desolate than any place they had ever seen. There was no such place on earth. Whether it's Sahara, Namibia or Taklimakan, there are at least weathered rocks, carbonized Haloxylon ammodendron and distant oases.

Here, except for the altar, there is only sand, which is paved on the ground until the horizon.

At that moment, a deep loneliness and helplessness attacked them.

Su Huilan felt that her heart almost died at that moment.

Petru and Mrs. Larry can at least hold each other against loneliness, but she only holds a fat cat in her arms. But the cat seemed to have returned home. He ran out and ran towards the altar in the distance, leaving a line of fine cat paw prints on the long yellow sand road.

Petra helped Mrs. Larry to the altar. Su Huilan was a little unable to move. At this time, Ivan, who had always been serious and rigid, suddenly came over and patted her on the shoulder. When his palm rested on her shoulder, he gently shook it.

Su Huilan felt a strange force from his hand, like the temperature from the burning charcoal fire in the fireplace in winter.

Her body trembled and saw Ivan moving forward. She hurried to catch up with him and asked, "who the hell are you?"

Ivan stopped and looked up at the sky. At that time, there were only five suns in the sky.

He said, "I am a soldier."

Su Huilan said, "I know you are a retired Navy and an old submarine soldier. But you are not so simple. From the beginning, I knew you were not an ordinary person. I believe situ must have seen it."

Ivan said, "it's not as simple as you said, but I didn't lie. I'm a soldier, just an active soldier."

"In active service?" Su Huilan was very surprised. "You mean, you are still in service now? Then why did you come here?"

Ivan stood upright and did look like a soldier.

"In your eyes, there are only parasites, awakeners and people with special functions," he said. "You may also have such and such organizations, but you must understand that it is still countries and governments that govern the planet - I mean the earth. Do you think the government will ignore such things as alien invasion?"

Su Huilan asked alertly, "so you represent the government. Are you an undercover agent sent by the military around Mr. situ?"

"It's not undercover," Ivan said. "Mr. stone probably knows my identity. Otherwise, he won't let me handle the submarine. He knows I can handle it."

"What exactly is the attitude of the government? Do they have countermeasures and plans?" Su Huilan couldn't help being a little curious.

Ivan shook his head and said, "my level is not enough. I don't know everything, but as far as I know, they have plans. It's just that there is more than one government on earth. Hundreds of countries and 7 billion people are like the sand in front of us."

He waved his hand and pointed to the yellow sand all over the ground. "No one knows who can be trusted and who has been invaded? In this case, people are in danger. The government and the military are trying every means to find out the ghost, but they haven't found a good way, at least when we leave the earth."

Su Huilan concluded that even now, there should be no way to identify parasites on earth, except Mei's space box plan.

She was not sure how far the space box project had progressed, and whether Professor Mei had encountered new difficulties?

These are too far away from them. What they can do now is to quickly find the altar of ice. When all altars start and restore the earth's spiritual force field, all people on the earth can have super spiritual force. At that time, parasitic consciousness will have nowhere to hide.

This is a very good wish, but she always feels that there are some problems left out, just like a trap dug by hunters waiting for their confused deer to jump in.

She looked at Ivan and asked, "since they can't identify parasites, how can they choose trusted people to perform tasks, such as you?"

Ivan said: "there is no way to find the parasite, but at least it can be prevented. I don't know whether the government has any way, but the military has."

"What can the military do?" Su huilanqi said.

"The most important feature of the army is the unity of will. Obedience to command is a soldier's bounden duty. The stronger the army is, the more strict the discipline is, and the less the influence of individual thought is. A soldier does not have his own thought. He belongs to a part of the army, and the whole team becomes a unity. When an army with strict discipline and strengthened training in special thought stands together, that is A collective will is indelible, unbreakable, inviolable and impossible to defeat. You can only destroy these bodies, but you can't destroy their spirit. No matter how powerful the consciousness body is, you can't occupy the brains of these soldiers! "

"Collective consciousness?" Su Huilan suddenly understood, "I have mastered collective consciousness for a long time, which can effectively prevent the invasion of foreign consciousness, but why don't you publish it?"

"It's no use," Ivan said, "Ordinary people can't do it at all, even ordinary troops can't do it. If we want to really eliminate the invasion of parasitic consciousness, we must be an iron team. But as far as I know, only the Russian and Chinese armies can carry out such intensive training on a large scale. It's difficult for other countries to do it. Even if they are stronger than the United States, they can only guarantee the safety of a very few special forces Strengthen, because they never rely on military will and iron discipline to defeat the enemy, and high-tech and advanced weapons are useless in front of new invaders. "

"Since you have kept such a big secret for so long, why do you tell me now?" Su Huilan asked.

"There's no need to be conservative anymore. And..." Ivan paused. "I think you're trustworthy."

Su Huilan suddenly felt inexplicably moved. In this desolate world, what she needs most is trust?

Probably feeling the fluctuation in Su Huilan's heart, Ivan coughed and asked, "how long have we left the earth? Three years?"

Su Huilan looked at the five suns in the sky and said, "I don't have an atomic clock in my mind. But according to Mr. stone's previous calculation, I think it has been more than three years now."

Thinking of situ, she had many more questions and asked, "what mission did you follow Mr. stone? The military will send you to him. Does the military already know his identity?"

Ivan shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. The military should not know his identity, at least not completely. But the military knows what he wants to do at the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean. That's why I unscrupulously helped him get submarines and ammunition. You know, submarines loaded with torpedoes are not so easy to do. Russia, including the Chinese and American military, should also know this A little more. Maybe Mr. stone gave them the wind. He has a wide range of ways. It seems that he has friends among the military and political leaders of all countries. "

Su Huilan nodded. She was not surprised that situ could do this. She was just surprised that the military was so deeply involved in this matter. Perhaps it was precisely because of the repression of China, the United States and Russia that the world situation did not deteriorate. In the face of a major disaster that could destroy mankind, the major powers would still maintain common advance and retreat.

But she suddenly thought of something, a cold surge from somewhere, from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, which made her goose bumps all over in the desert.

"The military... What is the military's ultimate plan? I mean... What will happen to the military once things get out of control?" she looked at Ivan and asked seriously.

"I don't know. It's not what I should know," Ivan said.

Suhuilan shook her head and said, "no, you must know something."

When she saw Ivan not talking, she continued, "Relying on the collective will of steel, the military has built an indestructible Great Wall of consciousness, which can ensure that soldiers are not invaded by parasites. They try their best to control the situation and maintain a delicate balance, making the world look the same as in the past. Even noisy politicians have kept quiet under the suppression of the military. As long as several major powers are not chaotic, the world will not be chaotic 。

The reason why they can be so calm is that they have prepared for the worst. Once the situation is beyond their control, they will... Kill everyone! "

After she said this, she stared at Ivan's face.

Ivan's body was still standing straight, the sun shone on his face, and his bronze skin was a little deep and dark. His expression was like a stone weathered for thousands of years in the desert, dry and hard.

"Tell me, will they do that?" Su Huilan asked loudly.

"Yes!"

Ivan said the word with difficulty, as if he had just fought with the beast in the forest and had exhausted his strength in his life. His chest fluctuated slightly, his breath was a little dignified, he shook his straight and firm eyebrows, turned his face and looked at Su Huilan,

"So I've been looking for better ways, which is also my task."

……

After the conversation standing in the desert, Su Huilan and Ivan took a step forward. I don't know why, there was an unspeakable trust between them.

She was not sure whether Dewar had heard the conversation between them. At that time, Dewar stood a little far away from them, and his focus should be the pyramid in front of them, but Dewar did not go into the pyramid, because petru and Mrs. Larry went in, but needed to determine whether the altar had been started. This was what petru could do, and half of the soul of fire was in his hand.

Su Huilan didn't intend to go in, but she finally went in because of the cat.

When petru and Mrs. Larry came out together, there was no ghost except Alice. Petru said they saw the sound shadow flash when they entered the altar and never saw it again. He thought the cat had run back.

Su Huilan went in again, but she couldn't find the sound. She stood on the edge of the altar and looked around. There were yellow and orange sand around, which was the same color as the cat's hair.

He shouted soundly, but got no response, as if the cat had disappeared out of thin air. She didn't find it until the fog rose again in the desert.

Hanran followed Su Huilan and Qingmu into RAMLA with the coal boss. The coal boss and Qingmu were inseparable, and Hanran followed Su Huilan. Su Huilan naturally felt that she had the responsibility to take care of the cat. But now she lost it. She didn't know what to do next time she saw Qingmu, especially the coal boss. She could imagine the big black bird flapping its wings and angry Son.

She wanted to keep looking, but the fog wouldn't wait for them.

"Maybe it's gone," Dewar said. "It's a smart cat. It has its own destination. We still have our mission. Let's go."

Su Huilan was reluctant, but she couldn't help it. She followed everyone through the fog in a low mood until she saw the iceberg hanging upside down, which could reflect everything, hanging upside down on the top of the sky like the ice on the eaves of her hometown.

Her gloomy mood suddenly improved.
