Lu Ziming and Leng Meimei came to the place where they broke up with the snow Treader a few hours later. The surrounding scenery could not see much change. The yellow and withered weeds were more than half the height of people, and the trees were more bleak. The cold wind in early spring blew through the valley and made a "whine". The residual snow was still holding its last position. A touch of green came out of the cracks and branches, and there was no living creature around, Only a few bones silently told the sad past.
Lu Ziming's eyes flashed a trace of anxiety. He couldn't feel the breath of half a silk of living creatures around, let alone whether stepping on the snow was around.
It's troublesome now. Lu Ziming doesn't know where he went on the snow. After two or three years, time can erase everything. The wilderness is not a place to hide. Although snow treading is a dark creature, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be killed by dark creatures, or found by interested people, or chased by the tide of zombies to escape here.
It's really a vast sea of people who went there to look for stepping on the snow. For a time, thousands of thoughts came to my mind. Recalling the time spent by one person, it's more like a pair of struggling friends in the end of the world, helping each other and sharing weal and woe. After countless ups and downs, difficulties and obstacles, I came to this step today. Looking back, I found that it is far away. How can I not make myself sad.
"Step on the snow, where are you? Come out, I'm back!"
The bleak cry echoed in the valley and floated to the distance for a long time, "come back! Step on the snow...". The thoughts buried in my heart broke out like a flood. From the moment when one man and one horse crossed the grassland, crossed the desert, struggled in the sand sea and fought side by side, step on the snow is no longer a horse, but friends, relatives, their best partners and comrades in arms.
The hoarse voice touched Lu Ziming's most vulnerable nerve. Along the way, he experienced countless storms, but stepping on the snow never had any complaints. He always stood beside himself silently, and even rushed up to block in front of himself at the most dangerous time.
Horses have spirituality and people have feelings. They get along with snow treading more. This feeling can no longer be abandoned and has been buried in the bottom of their heart.
Cold beauty hugged Lu Ziming tightly and found that his mood was a little out of control, "Ziming! I'm so worried about you. Stepping on the snow will not have an accident. Maybe stepping on the snow is not here, or we'll wait here for a few more days!"
The last world doesn't believe in tears. From the day when I entered the last world, I won't cry any more. Even when I face the threat, I will face it with a smile. However, at this moment, the sadness starts from my heart, and the tears spin in my eyes and flow down uncontrollably.
"You're right. Maybe we've gone to other places to look for food. We'll stay here and wait!"
Lu Ziming knows that as long as stepping on the snow is still alive, he will definitely return here, because there is a commitment and expectation in one person and one horse. If he returns here, stepping on the snow will also return.
Two days later, Lu Ziming and Leng Meimei set up a Lianzhu tent on the hillside. They searched for snow all over the mountains during the day and hid in the Lianzhu tent for cultivation at night. During this period, several waves of mutant creatures passed through the valley. Because they hid their breath, they were not found.
Although Lu Ziming didn't want to take the initiative to provoke the passing mutant creatures, there were many mutant creatures that hit the muzzle of the gun. It just killed Lu Ziming's anger and vented his roar on the mutant creatures.
There may be a blood connection between one person and one horse. When stepping snow was injured, Lu Ziming induced the evolution of stepping snow with his own blood. Since then, stepping snow can feel as long as he is around. Even if it is far away, there will be an unspeakable connection, "stepping snow won't die, but it's too far away from here. I can't feel its existence!"
Cold beauty said insincerely, "Zi Ming! You don't have to be sad. There are no endless banquets in the world. Maybe this is life. We've been here for two days. Li Juan and they must have arrived at jiutun. Why don't we go back and learn about the old Tun and come here to look for stepping on the snow slowly? It's not urgent for a moment!"
"Now that we've come, we'll stay a few more days. Presumably, Li Juan and her family have just arrived in jiutun. Besides, Li Juan has something on her mind to make a comeback. We rush back at this time. Instead, we make her think we're forcing her and give her more time to think about how to go in the future!"
Lu Ziming didn't rush back to jiutun. On the surface, it was to find the buried crystals and step on the snow, with deep meaning.
The base is lost in Li Juan's hand. Li Juan feels sorry for her father and always wants to rebuild the base and restore the glory of the past, so as to comfort the spirit in heaven. In Li Juan's body, Lu Ziming saw his indomitable figure in the past. No matter how difficult it is, he won't hum even if he can't breathe. It is this belief that supports him up to now.
Maybe Li Juan should be given a chance. Everyone has a dream, even fantasy. With a goal, she has the motivation to struggle. One day, when she suddenly looks back, she won't lose and regret.
"Well, who wants me to follow you? You can decide these things by yourself. Li Juan resents you more than thanks. If she doesn't give it a try, her resentment will be greater!"
He stayed in the valley for another two days, during which there was a light snow. Lu Ziming and Leng Meimei searched for twenty or thirty miles and climbed countless mountains. They still didn't find any trace of stepping on the snow. They were depressed and ready to leave.
Suddenly, the cold beauty stopped and stared at a string of footprints on the residual snow and said, "Zi Ming! Look, what footprints are these?".
Lu Ziming was in a terrible mood. He couldn't move away with a casual glance. "This is... Horse hoof prints,... Should have been left soon, right! It's the footprints of stepping on the snow. It must be stepping on the snow...".
"Wait a minute, Zi Ming. You see, the horse's hoof prints are heading east. Judging from the melting speed of the residual snow, it won't take more than five or six hours. Maybe we can catch up with the snow now!"
"What are you waiting for?" Lu Ziming and Leng Meimei turned around and chased after the mountains in the East. In the evening, they came to a valley.
The middle of the valley seems to be split by a sharp blade. The horseshoe print disappears in front of the valley mouth. The valley mouth is covered with green vines. From a distance, the whole valley is hidden in green and light white fog. It is impossible to find out the situation in the valley for a while.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Ziming called out the detector on his arm and found that some energy in the valley seemed to interfere with the detector. "Be careful, there are messy energy fluctuations in the valley. It's impossible to find out the situation in the valley. Stay outside and I'll go in and have a look!"
Cold beauty stubbornly shook her head and said, "let's go in together. If there is any danger, you also have a care!"
"OK! You follow behind me and immediately exit the valley if you find something wrong." Lu Ziming knew that the cold beauty was cold outside and hot in heart. It was impossible for him to take risks alone. He had to be careful.
