Doomsday Totem

Chapter 95 High fever
20 days later...

In the eastern part of the Phikris Mountains, a full-grown giant elephant appeared with a steady pace.Viewed from the side, a three-meter-long locomotive is tied to the back of the giant elephant. The cable goes around the belly of the giant elephant and firmly fixes the locomotive to its back.And beside the locomotive, lay a black-clothed boy.The boy's face was a little pale, half of his body was buried in the sleeping bag, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

The mountain here is getting lower and lower, and it is the end of the mountains.Sparse cedars and small shrubs grow along the way.The giant elephant walked all the way, and when it encountered a bush, it would roll it up and put it in its mouth, chewing as it walked.

[Dear iron slag, your adrenaline level is getting lower and lower, do you feel any discomfort]
"It's okay, I just feel a little sleepy." Tie Slag replied in a low voice.These days, although he doesn't have to walk, he still feels weaker and weaker.The extremely cold weather eroded his body, but he was helpless.He has tried growing worm shells to protect against the cold.But within a few days, the insect shells were peeled off layer by layer, and only a thin layer remained of the part that had just recovered.

In order to regain his strength, he had eaten all the canned meat, but his physical condition still did not improve.

[Little slag, poor little slag] Alice sighed.

"I want to sleep for a while..." Tie Slag whispered to himself, seemingly not paying attention to Alice's words.

[Obey, my captain] After finishing speaking, Alice opened the solar energy collection umbrella and entered the standby mode.

I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe a day.In the dimness, he seemed to hear Alice's call.

[Iron Slag, look, we have arrived, the Great Ice Ocean! ]
He woke up gradually, opened his eyes blankly, and looked around casually.Except for the white snow, there is still nothing, the only thing that can be seen is that this is a mountain top.

[look at the front, the front]
Alice's voice sounded again, Iron Slag slowly straightened his body and looked up.Ahead is a calm sea, the blue sea is as smooth as a mirror, without wind or waves, as if everything is still.

This is the legendary Great Ice Ocean, located at the northernmost tip of the world, adjacent to the Black Sea, the Sea of ​​Darkness and the Atlantic Ocean.There are huge ice blocks floating here all year round, making all ships daunted.Sailing here, as long as you are not careful, you will hit an iceberg, and the ship will be destroyed.

Coming here, the giant elephant put down the iron slag and the red comet, whispered farewell, and then turned and left.It must rush back to the west of the mountains and find its pack.

After watching the giant elephant leave, Iron Slag drew out his machete and began to look for cedars.He wants to cut wood to build a raft and cross the ice ocean!Before coming here, he had already learned that there was no wind in the Great Ice Ocean, and the sea current was very slow.When he got here, he planned to tie a raft with cedar and cables, and then fix the red comet to the raft, using the power of the jet bag to sail.

After two days the raft was built.The raft was about seven meters long and three meters wide, with a red comet fixed at the back and a small tent at the front.When everything was ready, Iron Slag pushed the raft into the water and jumped aboard.

Amidst the roar, the jet capsule of the red comet ejected high-pressure airflow, pushing the raft forward slowly...

In this way, Iron Slag began a long journey across the Great Ice Ocean.

The Great Ice Ocean is as calm as ever, deep and boundless, and has not changed because of the addition of a small raft.On the third day after departure, Tie Slag sat quietly in front of the tent, staring at the calm sea, in a daze for a long time.He felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was on the verge of collapse.He didn't know how far he could go, and gradually began to doubt whether he should come or not.

The cold wind was so small that it could only gently blow the corners of his clothes, but he still felt cold, bone-chillingly cold.The sea is very calm, there are no waves, only a little ripple.However, the sea water will still splash on the body from time to time, making the cold wind even more bitter.

At this moment, Tie Slag's lips had turned white, and he could barely sit up.He lacks nutrition, has no hot food, and even has no dry clothes, and his body is always half wet.Iron Slag has summoned worm shells to keep out the cold.But it didn't take long for the cuticle to crack, and the skin also cracked.It's just that it's numb from the cold now, and I can't feel the tingling of the skin at all.

If it was a complete sharp blade carapace, it wouldn't be so fragile.But he was bitten by black-backed piranhas in the Black Sea, coupled with the harsh living environment, the damaged part never grew back.

[Dear Iron Slag, Alice... Can Alice do something for you? ]
Alice called out in a low voice, but it took a while for Iron Slag to react slowly, and replied in a low voice, "I'm fine, just a little sleepy."

[Eat something?There are many more compressed biscuits...] Saying that, the red comet stretched out its small mechanical arm, and sent a compressed biscuit to Iron Slag.

Iron Slag picked up the compressed biscuit and looked at it for a while, then slowly tore off the wrapping paper and the waterproof aluminum foil, and began to eat bit by bit.

The slightly sweet, dry, hard biscuits made his stomach twitch.He felt bad, his throat was on fire.Although it was hard to swallow, he insisted on eating the whole piece.Then, he took out an iron water cup from the small tent, dug some snow from the shore in the side marching bucket, mixed it with some sea water, and drank it slowly.The snow mixed with sea water tastes bitter and cold, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The fuel oil has long been exhausted, and the kerosene lamp has been lost on the shore. Now he can only replenish water by eating snow.

The afternoon sun shone on the small raft, but it still didn't feel warm.The sunlight here does not seem to carry heat, neither drying clothes nor warming the body.After eating, Tie Slag twisted his neck, moved around for a while, then got into the small tent and continued to sleep.He sleeps most of the time now, but no matter how long he sleeps, he still feels sleepy.

The days of wandering on the ice ocean passed day by day...

He has lost the concept of time, like a walking dead, get up every day to eat something, and then continue to sleep.I don't know how many days have passed like this.Every time I wake up in a daze and look up, there is still a boundless sea.

A desperate thought was quietly eroding him.

However, worse situations ensued.

This morning, as soon as he woke up, he felt dizzy and could hardly stand upright.According to Alice's scan, he had a fever, but a high fever, and his body temperature exceeded forty degrees.After taking some cold medicine, he returned to the tent and continued to rest.After several days in a row, his high fever not only did not subside, but also gradually worsened.

That night, God once again made a cruel joke.Suddenly, the calm ice ocean was violently stormed, and the huge waves were monstrous!The small raft is like a single leaf in the stormy sea.Except for the red comet and iron slag, everything on the raft was taken away by the waves.

He didn't know how he survived that night. In the early morning of the next day, the Great Ice Ocean returned to its usual calm.He had no tent, no sleeping bag, no snow in his marching bucket, nothing.

He was lying on the raft alone, cold and powerless all over.At this moment, the god of death hovered over his head, waiting to swing the final scythe.

In that twilight, he seems to have returned to Iron Mountain Town...

That was the day when he was eight years old, and he was running fast through the streets and alleys of Tieshan Town.There was a garbage truck in front of him, and he desperately chased after it, pounced with all his strength, and grabbed the rear of the truck.The garbage truck moved forward relentlessly, and he kicked the ground repeatedly, struggling to climb up.

After getting into the stinking truck, he finally found the old iron man.

At that time, Old Man Tie was covered in blood, and half of his body was buried in the smelly garbage.He tugged desperately, trying to pull the old man out.

However, Old Man Tie opened his eyes, shook his head, stretched out his trembling hand, and touched his head.He knew that Old Man Tie persisted until now just to wait for him.

"One day, you will grow up and find the goal to pursue in your life. It may be a thing, it may be a thing, or it may be a person..."

"But before that, your purpose is to survive, nothing more."

As soon as the scene changed, it gradually turned into Ao Shan's home. It was a night when he was 15 years old.

That night, sparks were lit at the foot of the short mountain, and hundreds of people held torches and climbed up the short mountain, trying to rob him of his homeland.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest filled with explosives.When he was five years old, the old man Tie took him to see fireworks.Fireworks were set off in the town to celebrate the new sheriff of Iron Mountain that day.When the rotten fireball shot straight into the sky, it suddenly bloomed, brightening the entire sky in an instant.Sparks fell straight from the sky to the ground, like a beautiful rain.

"A real man must be like this beautiful firework. Life may be short, but it cannot be lived without dignity."

Today, he will become that bunch of fireworks, let everyone in Tieshan Town know that he is the son of Old Man Tie!They are just as hard!
Pulling out a thick straight machete, he resolutely charged into the crowd, and all those who peeped at the stronghold of Aoshan must die!
However, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, let alone facing a hundred people alone.Finally, he finally collapsed from exhaustion.However, this is just the beginning.With a grin, he pulled back his bulletproof vest, revealing strips of dynamite.

"Come on! Grab it! Why don't you come!" He roared angrily, and was about to pull the fuse!At the very moment, a pure white figure flashed up and stopped his movements.

He glanced up.

This glance, I will never forget...

It was a tall and beautiful girl, wearing a pure white dress, with a soft shimmer all over her body.The moment she appeared, it seemed that everyone lost their color.It was as if there was only this faint ray of white light left between the sky and the earth.

"Hi, my name is Lena Eucrese." She held out her hand to him.

The hands in front of her eyes were long and clean, with crystal clear nails.He subconsciously wiped his hands on his body and shook them.

"From today, you are mine..." She said seriously, not like a joke.

He scratched his hair, expressing that he didn't understand.

She smiled at him, then her face sank, she stood up and glanced at everyone, and shouted loudly: "From this moment on, stabbing his sword means declaring war on me!"
