Mirror: Twin Cities - Chapter 7
How many years have been buried under the snow. It seems that its joints are not working well, and the whole body is held up straight, letting the thick snow that is pressing on it fall rustlingly.
“Ghost! Ghost—” When the zombie’s pale and muddy eyes looked over, Na Sheng finally yelled in fear, struggling desperately, trying to kick off the boots on his feet together with his leggings. However, the preparations she made before climbing the snow-capped mountains were really meticulous and earnest to get home. No matter how hard she tried, her feet were still tied tightly by leggings and couldn’t make it out.
“It’s over…” Na Sheng wailed in his heart, feeling the sudden force of the hand holding her ankle, dragging her back. She had no choice but to cling to an icicle, not letting go, but she didn’t know how long she could hold on with her own strength.
However, the surrounding rustle became louder and louder and denser, as if countless things were moving under the snow layer.
Na Sheng couldn’t help but look up, and was frightened all of a sudden—
The whole mountain is moving! The snow was shaken off, and under the snow, pale, expressionless zombies burst out of the snow-all kinds of dead people in ancient costumes, and the mountains and plains were filled with dead white faces.
The sun has risen very high, rising from the back of the Muztag Snow Mountain, spreading the light over the earth, and even on the top of the snow for thousands of years, you can feel a slight warmth. However, when the sun shone on Na Sheng, she only felt desperately cold. Is she going to die here? After trekking for so long and suffering so much, now Yunhuang Earth is close at hand, is she going to die here?
-Even Tianque can’t be reached, let alone set foot on that mysterious land that is unattainable.
Not reconciled… Not reconciled. Not reconciled to death!
The Dongba girl clenched her teeth secretly, slowly let go of a hand that was climbing the icicle, stretched it into her arms, and held the Miaodao she carried with her—even if she left one foot on the Muztag Snow Mountain , Better than being buried here, right? She took a deep breath, suddenly let go of her hand, letting herself be dragged by the zombie and slipping out, suddenly looking back, it was a knife!
However, at this moment, the cold hand that was holding her ankle suddenly loosened.
She rushed back with that sword, but she hadn’t practiced martial arts, so she couldn’t send and receive freely. The blade still cut through the thick leggings, and there was a slight pain in her ankle, which should have cut her skin.
However, it is finally free.
Sheng didn’t have time to think about it, so he bent his knees and stood up. However, she who was about to flee for her life was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of her—
The sun has risen from the back of the snow-capped mountains, and the brilliance is falling on the earth, and the snow that has not melted for years reflects the crystal light.
However, the zombies all over the mountain suddenly knelt down facing the east and raised their arms high to the rising sun from the top of the mountain. His pale face was expressionless, his mouth opened and closed like a white seal, making a vague grunt, and opened his hands to the sun. On the snow-capped mountains, those raised arms are standing there, shocking.
Those zombies… Are those zombies worshipping the sun?
The Sheng opened his mouth wide for a moment, and immediately recovered and fled panicked among those forested arms. She wants to escape, she wants to escape! If you don’t take this opportunity to escape, you will definitely be eaten by those zombies…
She crawled down in the knee-deep snow, not daring to look at the stiff and expressionless faces and muddy eyeballs of those dead people. The sharp ice pierced her palms and ears. She didn’t care, but rolled down with her hands and feet, passing through the kneeling zombies.
However, the strange thing is that those zombies just kneel facing the top of the mountain, raising their hands to the sky, and there are vague purrings in their throats. They can no longer distinguish the muddy eyes of the pupils, looking straight up at the glare on the top of the snow-capped mountain. The sun looked like he hadn’t seen the living girl who was running away in embarrassment.
“Maybe they have become blind after thousands of years of freezing.”
Suddenly, a thought came out of that Sheng’s head. The Dongba girl glanced at the zombie beside her side, and involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. She stepped on a zombie’s calf flat on the snow and jumped into a snow. In the ditch.
However, at that moment, the arms of the zombies were suddenly lowered! They stood up slowly from the snow, their behaviors stiff, and their joints creaked. Then in twos and threes, the zombies with scattered snow all over their bodies wandered around on the snow slope, bending over and pulling on the snow.
Before Sheng could figure out what they were doing, he saw a zombie not far away pushing aside the snow and pulling something out of the snow. Immediately, all the zombies around it surrounded them, eagerly purring from their throats, and seven or eight blue and white animals stretched out coldly, hulling in all directions, putting them in the mouth and chewing.
When it became clear that what Xuexia had dragged out was a newly dead corpse, Na Sheng hurriedly covered his own exclamation in his mouth. Seeing those zombies tearing apart the corpses and chewing the corpses with relish, she shuddered all over her body, and she felt that her stomach and intestines began to overturn violently.
“Uh…” She couldn’t help it anymore, stood up from the hidden snow ditch with her mouth covered, and rushed desperately.
As she walked together, the group of zombies looking for food were shocked and turned around one after another, looking at her who was running away with gray and muddy eyes, and strode around in stride.
Na Sheng staggered in the knee-deep snow, and the zombies seemed awkward, and they didn’t bend their knees when they walked. However, as soon as they took a step, they were twice as big as an ordinary person. The Quartet surrounded them in a hurry.
She panicked, staggered and fled on the snow peak, suddenly turned her head, and vaguely saw a young girl approaching her not far away, her belt was still shining with a dazzling light blue light. Na Sheng couldn’t help being surprised and happy, and rushed to the snow **** on the left with all his strength. However, he ran in a hurry, but he didn’t notice that the snow covered the icy ridge, and his feet were no longer on the ground.
She ran towards the living companion, stomped on the air, and fell off the steep **** between the two with a crash.
When I woke up again, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky,
As soon as Na Shengfang opened his eyes, he was stabbed and closed, feeling unspeakable soreness all over his body, as if every bone was shattered. The left hand subconsciously supported it when it landed, and it seemed that it really broke, and it was even more painful.
She couldn’t help groaning, tears from the pain. However, in the extreme bitter wind, tears quickly condensed into ice flowers on the cheeks, and his face was so cold that it stinged like cracks.
“Damn Somo… I was left alone in such a place! Damn, **** damn! God thundered him to death, snow mountain zombies killed him, mountain malaise poisoned him!” , She scolded the unhuman puppet master in her heart, and exhausted all the vicious spells she knew.
Swearing and cursing, he suddenly remembered the woman he saw when he fell off the cliff. Sheng’s eyes lit up, and he cheered up, stood up and looked forward, trying to find the girl’s trace—in this deadly empty mountain, there is one more person. It’s always good to be in company.
However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a short distance in front of her, a young girl who was also sitting on the snow and looked up at her.
Sheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously moved closer. The girl was also struggling with a pained expression, and moved a little bit.
“Damn it!” Suddenly, the Dongba girl smiled bitterly, and threw the snow she was holding at the other party. The snowball spread out on the smooth and hard glacier wall, making the girl reflected on it also full of heads. Shirayuki.
Actually deceived by his own illusion. Once again confirmed that she must be alone on the snowy mountain to make a way out, the 17-year-old Dongba girl did not cry or scold anymore, gritted her teeth, and managed to get up from the snow.
Suddenly, she suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon: Those zombies did not chase.
She was in a coma for more than an hour, but the zombies didn’t come over!
Only then did Na Sheng carefully look at the place where he fell: In fact, it is just a recessed col on the western **** of the snowy mountain. It is more than a foot high from the place where he just fell. A glacier hangs upside down, like a huge side. Mirror. Looking west, you can still see the Yunhuang Continent and the White Tower. And around, no matter it was on the snow ridge just now or outside the col, there were zombies cruising in the wood expressionlessly, staring at her with gray and muddy eyes, making a gurgling sound in the throat, but did not take a step closer.
She shivered with fright, and subconsciously clasped her arms tightly, a step back against the ice wall of the mountain col.
Startled, she remembered that those zombies couldn’t get through—but why didn’t they come? Is there anything they taboo here?
When the body was almost numb from the cold, fortunately, her mind was still thinking normally.
Then, Na Sheng suddenly turned around and looked up at the mirror-like glacier—it was not bad. A light blue light pierced her eyes across the ice.
That was the light she saw from her own shadow the moment she fell.
That kind of light comes from a ring. A gem ring sealed under the Wannian Glacier.
—However, it was not the shining ring that made Na Sheng exclaim, but the severed hand wearing the ring.
It was a shoulder-length broken right hand, full of flesh and blood, as if it were alive. Bones of different lengths were exposed at the fracture, muscles were rolled up, and the sleeves with pale gold brocade swaths were wrapped in the hands of blood stains. There was a circle of three-finger-wide black lasso on his wrist, which was deeply cut into the skin, and the blood had been condensed in the ice-it could be seen that this hand was torn off by the lasso and the sleeve. I just don’t know why,
