Chapter 318 Sleigh
The icy cold wind carried snowflakes and swept across the entire world, leaving nothing but cold and darkness.
In this extreme night snowstorm, Lu Mingfei did not continue to use up his little physical strength. He found a dead fir tree and chopped it with his bare hands to use as firewood. Now he rested on a low slope that was sheltered from the wind.
Some people say that in the wild, the flames lit by fires are the most primitive television for mankind. Lu Mingfei stared at the flames burning strong in the cold, and the blasphemous memory of "himself" who was corrupted by the demon Slaanesh still kept emerging. .
This may also be part of the plan of the Slaanesh demon, but now Lu Mingfei is not affected by it. He calmly looked at the people "he" knew before his fall. Except for his parents, the other defiled people were almost all familiar faces.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have such deep communication with them. For example, Chen Motong, he only met them once on that yacht and didn't even exchange a few words. Even if the Slaanesh demon used his own memory to In a fabricated fantasy, the other self shouldn't be so obsessed with her and never forget her.
There was also Eri Uesugi, the child who had a high proportion of dragon blood and was therefore unstable. During the battle, a picture flashed in his mind of him holding her withered body and crying helplessly in a huge cold well.
Is this a picture that predicts the future? After all, the Primarch Saint Leth had this special psychic ability, maybe he inherited a bit of it.
No, no, he asked himself that he would never cry helplessly like the picture showed - he would most likely pray sadly that the Emperor could protect the soul of this poor child, and then vent his anger on the murderer of this child. .
...what could that be?
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt something in his heart. He raised his left arm reflexively, and the twin bolt gun barrels stretched out the muscle bundles and aimed at the howling darkness of the wind and snow beyond the firelight.
"Captain, don't shoot! It's me!" A panicked cry came from the darkness.
Fingel? The familiar voice made Lu Mingfei startled, but he still did not put down his arm: "You need to show your loyalty and identity to the Emperor of Praise."
"Now? Okay, leader, do you want to hear the chanting method or the singing method?"
"...As you wish."
The man in the darkness cleared his throat and tried to sing loudly with the rich and resonant voice of a concert tenor:
"How glorious~that mighty emperor~as bright and brilliant as the sun..."
"Stop, that's enough."
Lu Mingfei stopped singing the off-key version of "My Sun" in praise of the Emperor. It would be a bit blasphemous to continue singing. But these are indeed the Fingal brothers - at least in appearance.
After experiencing the devil's supernatural powers several times, and after a bitter battle, he returned to this dark snowfield that was not even clear if it was reality. In the absence of a friend-enemy identification signal built into the power armor, this could only be confirmed in this way. the identity of the other party.
Fingel, wrapped in an old-fashioned Soviet military coat and covered in snow, walked into the area illuminated by the fire. He almost ran over with tears in his eyes like a fellow countryman and gave Lu Mingfei a hug, but when he saw Lu Mingfei's body surface After wearing black scales that only made him colder, he first put his military coat on him... and then hugged Lu Mingfei with tears in his eyes:
"Captain, I finally found you! You don't know how hard it was for me to find you..."
"Renata... How are Zero and Bunin doing now?" Lu Mingfei did not refuse Fingel's crying hug and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
"I don't know!" Fingel told Lu Mingfei his experience with a confused expression. When he suddenly went crazy and screamed into the darkness, as a good brother and comrade, he followed him without thinking. It didn't take long to lose sight of it, and I tried to return to the boat the way it came, but the boat also disappeared.
Using the passage of time captured by his senses, at least four days have passed since Lu Mingfei left the team, and during these four days, he could only wander around in the snowstorm looking for Lu Mingfei or the hovercraft, and persist until now. It all depends on the mixed-race body that has undergone the first stage of transformation, the old Soviet military coat on his body, and the chocolate in his pocket.
"By the way, Captain, why did you suddenly start to go crazy? This is not like you at all!" Fingel asked with concern.
"...Fell into a trap. It's okay now."
Lu Mingfei didn't reveal too much. He could only be glad that he, who was in black rage and out of control, rushed into the darkness ahead instead of looking back and seeing four "Horus".
"Okay... then what should we do now? This damn weather is freezing me to death." Fingel moved closer to the fire, and the warm flames gave him a sense of comfort after a disaster. Although he carries the "Junyan" talisman, it cannot be used as a lighter, and in this extremely cold condition, drawing blood instead of the fire element to release the Junyan will only lead to faster death if there is no food to replenish energy later.
"Kill the demons first. If I guess correctly, we have been trapped by them in this unknown Nibelung." Lu Mingfei added a piece of firewood to the fire.
"And there are demons? Wasn't that crow demon that was the ultimate insult to Old Tang burned to ashes by the Emperor's Divine Sword in your hand, the leader?" Fingel's eyes widened.
"...I don't know how it managed to survive. Moreover, there is a new demon, 'Slaanesh', one of the Chaos Evil Gods. They are now most likely hiding in this Nibelung, brewing some conspiracy. ." Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice.
"Hiss... the 'Slaanesh' demon, it sounds very bad for me!" Fingel was horrified. Then he saw Lu Mingfei's eyes and quickly waved his hands to clarify, "It's the vice principal! It was his old pervert who saw it. I just reluctantly have to watch things with him for a while...I am absolutely loyal to Eva!"
"Then you'd better not think about those things next, don't give the devil a chance to sneak in... But the good news is that the emperor's holy light is shining on us in this darkness again." Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice. , a hazy golden light appeared on the surface of the scales - that was the power of faith.
"Okay, okay, according to the Holy Light of the Emperor, even those two demons will not be able to stop you, Captain!" Fingel showed his optimism again.
"...Do you have any food with you?" Lu Mingfei asked after a long silence. Although it is still unclear whether the battle journey of purifying nine thousand aliens and corrupting himself was an illusion or reality, his body did express to him the hunger that was in urgent need of food.
"No, I took three pieces of chocolate with me when I ran out, and I ate them all," Fingel spread his hands, "I didn't see any polar bears or other edible animals along the way, otherwise I would still be able to Bring one over and let's roast it." He glanced at his thigh and asked tentatively: "How about I cut a piece of thigh meat for the leader and you can rub it in your belly first? Anyway, I can still grow it... "
"Thanks, Brother Fingel, but we don't need it yet." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. He was not hungry enough to chew on his brother's thigh meat.
He grabbed a handful of white snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. The cold snow water melted by his body temperature moistened his throat: "If they are not directly attacked by demons, then the people on the hovercraft should not worry for the time being. After the abnormality, they may rest in place, and the gasoline and food on the ship will be enough to sustain them for a while."
"What about us? Can the Emperor's Holy Light fill our stomachs?" Fingel asked.
"We have to see if we can find those bunkers that store food, or if there are any living creatures coming to replenish our energy." Lu Mingfei grabbed a branch and drew a simple map on the snow based on his vague memory. , planning to wait for the short daylight and the visibility to improve slightly before looking for the bunker where supplies are stored.
Even Astartes need to eat to replenish their energy. The power armor of ordinary warriors will be equipped with high-energy nutrient solution. In addition, the pre-stomach implanted in the body will allow them to enter the stomach regardless of whether it is fragrant or smelly. The Astartes continued to fight for a long time without supplies. During the period of serving in the Lamenters Chapter, Lu Mingfei often gnawed on the corpses of burnt insects.
"I seem to hear the sound of bells..." Fingel suddenly became alert and looked towards a certain direction in the dark snowy field beyond the light of the fire.
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei also heard the faint ringing in the howling wind and snow. He stared at the end of the darkness, where it looked like someone had lit a match. The fire was getting brighter and brighter, and his extraordinary vision had captured the light. In the light of the fire, four reindeer more than two meters tall were pulling a sleigh and running towards here.
"Santa Claus is here?" This was Fingel's first reaction. Then he rubbed his eyes to confirm that this was not an illusion. He suddenly felt ecstatic, just like Luffy's eyes in "One Piece": Isn't this meat? Has it been delivered to your door? ?
"Dingle bells, bells, bells..." The tall reindeer shook their heads, and the fist-sized bells on their necks jingled. High-power searchlights were hung on the sleds they dragged, and then the people driving them...
He was really wearing a red festive Santa Claus robe.
Lu Mingfei wrapped his military coat tightly to cover up the black scales on his body, and also covered up the muzzle of the bolter that popped out of his left arm prosthesis.
Could it be another devil's trap?
The "Christmas Sleigh" stopped about a few dozen meters away from Lu Mingfei and Fingel's fire. The reindeer seemed to be frightened by Lu Mingfei's murderous aura and did not dare to move forward.
"Is it Mr. Lu Mingfei? I finally found you!" Santa Claus on the sleigh spoke in Chinese in a young voice, "I mean no harm! Chairman Lulincheng asked me to come and pick you up!"
