Section 06 No Trace

"Huh...it's finally here."

After nearly an hour of sliding, Chen Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ice surface without snow.

If the traces on the snow had not reminded Chen Zheng before, he would have been very sure that he had come from this direction before, otherwise he would have doubted whether he had taken the wrong path.

Chen Zheng slowly slid onto the ice surface. After taking off the skis, he did not rush to search around. Instead, he stood up the skis first and carefully checked whether the shoddy handmade product could still hold on.

The snowboard was related to whether he could return to the camp before noon, so Chen Zheng inspected it very seriously.

I looked carefully from top to bottom and there was nothing wrong with the other side except that the contact surface between the board and the snow was slightly frozen.

Chen Zheng was a little relieved that the first time handmade products were so "durable".

Carefully put the board on the ice and put it together with the snow pole. Chen Zheng rubbed his frozen hands and began to check the strange exposed ice surface.

In fact, Chen Zheng had noticed it before, and now he squatted down and carefully observed and confirmed his previous thoughts.

Indeed, a naked ice surface that looks like a "right circle" is indeed a bit weird, especially on this endless frozen sea.

With the ice surface as the center, the thicker the snow surface is, the thicker it is. The thickness is too uniform and the arc is very natural. It is certain that this ice surface was definitely not cleaned up manually. The snow covering the ice surface looks very much like... it was sucked away by something!

“…”

Chen Zheng stood in the middle of the ice and was silent.

"Oh, there is really no clue..."

Originally, Chen Zheng still had some small expectations, but now he can't find anything suspicious.

The one who can instantly let three living people come to this planet from Earth is definitely not an ordinary thing, but apart from the snow sucked away by some kind of force, there is no suspicious place here.

"Forget it, collecting fabric is important."

I didn't have to worry for too long, it was getting late at this time, and there were still many things waiting for him in the camp.

The big guy who turned into Roushan was wearing the same black suit as Chen Zheng, and the black cloth strips were still very conspicuous when lying on the slightly blue ice surface.

The weather has been very good these days, with no wind or snow, which has made Chen Zheng’s collection much less difficult.

After finding all the rags that can be seen, Chen Zheng accidentally found a pair of leather shoes that had been broken.

"Yes! Why didn't I remember it!"

Chen Zheng suddenly heard that the snot monster he killed should have a pair of leather shoes in the body! Since the fabric on them is so high-tech, those leather shoes must be very warm!

I didn't know the benefits of alien technology before, so I only took a whole piece of fabric for later use. Chen Zheng thought the shoes were worn by the snot monster and soaked in "corpse liquid", so I simply didn't take them.

Thinking about it now, Chen Zheng hurried to the place where the aliens were killed before.

"bite……"

Suddenly, Chen Zheng seemed to kick something.

"Huh? This is... a pistol!?"

Chen Zheng kept his footing for the time being.

The broken ice and seawater splashed out when the big fish on the ground broke through the ice surface have been frozen again. Between a few pieces of broken ice, an inconspicuous black metal was embedded in it. If it weren't for accidentally kicking it, Chen Zheng wouldn't even notice it.

He bent down and buckled the pistol-like metal half buried on the ice. Chen Zheng was stunned when he looked at the former semi-automatic pistol.

Its gun handle was actually pinched with fingerprints! You can even see metal overflowing from the gap between your fingers, as if it was not made of steel, but made of plasticine.

The trigger and other places became even more messy. All the originally exquisite mechanisms were pinched into a mess by a brute force, and the sleeve was bent by huge force.

After careful observation, Chen Zheng found that only the barrel was not too deformed. As for the other parts... there are no tools now, and the idea of ​​opening the magazine to view the bullets was shattered.

Although the bullets in the shuttle should be squeezed out like the gun handle, Chen Zheng was still a little unwilling to give up.

Hanging a pistol that was even more scrap iron on his waist, Chen Zheng came to the place where he killed the jelly aliens again, and indeed took out a pair of exquisite leather shoes from the snow pile.

"Well……"

Looking at the leather shoes that were smaller than his feet, Chen Zheng hesitated for a moment, but thinking about how he looked when he wore these "smart fibers" on him before, he cruelly took off his shoes and stuffed his swollen feet into it...

Although it was originally two sizes smaller than Chen Zheng's shoes, it turned out to change with Chen Zheng's foot shape after wearing them.

“…so eased… I really didn’t expect it…”

Chen Zheng looked at the pair of bright and reflective black leather shoes on his feet, which was so comfortable to wear on his feet, which was absolutely unexpected before he put them on.

After wearing new shoes and surrounding them for a while, after confirming that there were no missing, Chen Zheng finally left the original place.

With the arrival of spring and the melting of ice and snow, the evidence that Chen Zheng had once been for the earthlings would also dissipate, leaving only this eternal blue sky still watching here.

Although I had known for a long time that there would be no result. Although the new shoes on my feet were both comfortable and warm, Chen Zheng, who should have been happy, couldn't laugh out loud, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"Let's go, I won't come."

Finally, I took a look at the strange ice surface and ran into the distance like a snowboard.

The time to come back is much less than the time to go. On the one hand, Chen Zheng does not need to identify the traces at all times, just follow the traces when he comes. On the other hand, it is because Chen Zheng is becoming more and more skilled in skiing.

At the beginning, I was a little uncomfortable with these two racket-like snow poles, so I would bump them. However, after getting used to it, it would be much better, and the time I got back was naturally reduced.

Chen Zheng, who returned to the camp, used a wooden stick to scoop up the embers, found a piece of dark red charcoal and blew it hard...

"……call."

As the spots of Mars were blown away by Chen Zheng, the dark red charcoal was rekindled.

He picked up a few pieces of scraps and threw them into the fire. Chen Zheng made some clean snow and put them in a wooden bowl and grabbed them on the fire.

Soon the water boiled, and the smoked fish that I took away but didn't eat before was roasted on the fire. It was solved by a not-so-sourcing lunch.

After cleaning the dishes, Chen Zheng’s plan next was to explore the surroundings.
Chapter completed!
