Chapter 168 The sky is light blue
Chapter 168 The sky is light blue
The air was filled with the disturbing sound of ding-dongs, irritating people's eardrums again and again.
Deafening explosions could be heard from both sides of the street from time to time. Each loud noise was accompanied by dazzling flames shooting up into the sky, instantly tearing the originally peaceful streets into a mess.
The whistling cold wind was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, violently running through the streets and alleys, making a sharp whistling sound.
I don’t know how long this terrifying scene lasted, before the flying birds and beasts in the sky, as dense as black clouds, gradually disappeared.
When they came, they blocked out the sun and brought with them endless murderous aura, making the entire sky seem to have fallen into eternal night; now that they have left, the blue sky has finally reappeared in people's eyes.
Time continued to pass quietly, perhaps an hour, or maybe two hours, or even longer.
In that small teahouse, Nan Yu sat there quietly. His camouflage uniform, which was originally stained with blood, had now been frozen stiff by the cold wind.
It was like a straight tube wrapped around his body, cold and hard. Every slight movement could be heard making a rustling sound.
The water in the teacup in front of him had already completely frozen into ice, and even the wall of the cup was covered with a thick layer of white frost.
At this moment, Nanyu was still sitting there calmly, as if the cold and chaos around him could not shake him at all.
However, his face, which had originally been rosy, was now frozen pale, without a trace of blood, like a piece of white paper covered with ice and snow.
A thick layer of frost also condensed on his snow-white hair, which sparkled with cold light under the sunlight, like branches covered with ice crystals in winter.
His eyelashes were not spared either, and were all covered with white frost. Each eyelash looked like a carefully carved ice edge, and as it trembled slightly, it reflected a cold breath.
His lower body was almost frozen stiff, completely unconscious, as if it no longer belonged to him. He just numbly endured the biting cold.
Sometimes Nanyu couldn't help but doubt in his heart that if he continued to sit like this, he would probably get cold legs.
At that moment, the streets and alleys of Fengshuang Town were filled with a tragic scene. The windows and doors of the surrounding shops were all covered with deep pits and marks left by the birds and beasts flying in the air.
The deep pits are of different sizes and shapes. Some look like they were hit by meteorites, with jagged edges, while others look like round pits left by being hit by a huge hammer.
There were still some bird and animal feathers and bloodstains on the wall of the pit.
On the surrounding streets, blood frozen by ice can be seen everywhere. The bright red blood appears a strange dark red under the ice, like flowers of death blooming on the ice field.
In every corner, you can see some players wearing camouflage uniforms, some sitting and some lying, each of their faces filled with fatigue and despair.
Among them, some players with stronger resistance could only watch their companions gradually lose their lives in this extreme cold.
The lips of those companions were frozen white, without a trace of blood, as if their bodies had been drained of life.
Their bodies were also becoming stiff little by little.
First, the fingers could no longer flex and extend flexibly, then the limbs, which gradually lost the ability to move, and finally the whole body turned blue and purple, as if shrouded in a layer of haze, and the breath of life slowly disappeared in this severe cold.
"Fuck! Is this a training camp? They're trying to freeze us to death!"
A player couldn't help but burst into curses. His voice was particularly loud in the cold air, filled with anger and unwillingness.
"Who's in charge? Damn it! Someone got killed during a crappy training camp..."
Another player echoed, his eyes burning with anger as he stared intently at the chaotic scene around him.
Some players were lucky enough to have successfully killed a bird or beast. They were now sitting close together, trying to resist the terrible cold by huddling together for warmth.
They snuggled up to each other, their bodies still trembling slightly. Even so, they couldn't help but complain about this sudden and cruel training.
On another street in Fengshuang Town, even though Nalan Yangxin was known for his strong resistance, his fingers were frozen stiff after staying in such extreme cold for three hours.
The fingers that were once flexible and free now seemed to be shackled, making it extremely difficult to move and greatly reducing their flexibility.
What's more, during these three hours, except for a short rest when he met Nanyu, he had been fighting a desperate battle with those ferocious birds and beasts.
Every battle requires him to concentrate fully and give his all. Such high-intensity continuous combat has already exhausted his body.
He dragged his heavy steps and finally found a big rock, then sat down heavily on it.
The seemingly warm winter sun, now shining on him without reservation, did not provide any warmth at all.
The sunlight was like an icy sharp blade, piercing straight through his clothes and piercing his skin, bringing not warmth but an even more biting chill.
"Da da da."
Suddenly, clear footsteps were heard on the icy ground.
When Nalan Yangxin heard the footsteps, he slowly raised his eyes and saw a young girl walking out of an alley.
The girl's hair was a striking sky-blue color, as if a piece of the clear sky had been cut off and spread over her shoulders.
She had a high ponytail that swayed gently with her steps. She was also wearing a camouflage uniform, which looked particularly cool and stylish on her, perfectly outlining her slender figure.
Her exposed skin was so white and transparent, as if it was carved from the purest jade. In the sunlight, it had a faint luster, yet exuded a cold aura.
The other person was only a head shorter than Nalan Yangxin. Nalan Yangxin himself was 185cm tall. So, the girl should be 178cm tall.
She was wearing a pair of black military boots, which were polished to a shine and reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
Hanging around his neck was an old and retro camera that looked quite old. A closer look revealed intricate patterns embroidered on the frame of the camera, which looked like mysterious runes.
There were still some dried bloodstains on the camera lens, which appeared dark red in the sunlight.
The person who came was Jiali.
Jiali walked out of the alley and saw Nalan Yangxin sitting next to her at a glance, but she didn't say anything, and didn't even give him a look, as if Nalan Yangxin was just a stone on the street and not worth her attention at all.
She also walked to a step and slowly sat down.
The two of them just sat there quietly. Nalan Yangxin had no interest in people's faces, and at this moment he was too lazy to look at the girl in front of him.
Jiali didn't even glance at the other person, and neither of them spoke. Only the cold wind was still blowing.
The ranking above my head has disappeared since some time ago, seemingly because the weather has gotten colder and time has passed, and indirectly, everyone has lost the mood to continue fighting.
The ranking list that originally hung high above their heads, always inspiring everyone to fight bravely, now seemed like a magic prop that had lost its magic power, hanging there quietly without any movement.
The five people on the list are currently ranked as follows:
Nalan Yangxin
Jiang Shaoxing
Shangguan Qingye
嘉礼
Wu Tianhao
