A violent blizzard passed through the mouth of the secluded canyon, and the howling wind echoed with mournful colors.

A speeding snowmobile passed through the barrier of the blizzard and broke into the silent canyon.

The snowmobile stopped on the crystal white ground.

A middle-aged man who looked honest and loyal jumped off the snowmobile and walked up to the dead snow-white spiders that had piled up like a hill and blocked the entrance of the canyon.

Swallowed slightly.

At this time, several young Wilderness Wanderers also jumped off the snowmobile and looked up at the huge corpse in shock.

"Is this Blood Spider?"

The young Wilderness Wanderers at the front raised his head. His sight could not even take in the huge corpse. He lowered his head and glanced at the middle-aged man in front, and said in a daze, "Lord Wick, is this the eagle?"

Wick was stunned for a moment. When he said his previous comment that He Ao was an eagle, he never expected that He Ao could kill one of the most terrifying Exotic Beasts near the camp so easily.

Is this an eagle? This is Giant Dragon!

"Ahem," he coughed calmly, "Now you believe my opinion."

Then he continued without waiting for the young man to ask, "Let's do it quickly. He helped us attract all the powerful Exotic Beast nearby. When those Exotic Beast come back, we won't be able to take away the corpses of Blood Spider."

"Okay."

Two more snowmobiles entered the canyon.

Everyone quickly started working.

——

The dark carriage was shaking slightly. He Ao leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and looked at the glimmer of light revealed through the gap in the door.

This is the light that shines from the bright street lights on the carriage door.

There would be no such bright street lights in the wilderness.

The car has entered the city.

He Ao glanced at Walkie-Talkie on his chest.

At this moment, Walkie-Talkie has exceeded the communication range and cannot contact Wick, but He Ao knows that the back-up plan he arranged is still in effect.

The corpse of C-level Exotic Beast is also very attractive to other Exotic Beast with similar abilities.

However, every part of its body has a special use. If it can be sold at Black Market, it will be a huge sum of money.

He Ao only took away the heart, but that doesn't mean he gave up the other parts.

He used the fragrance of Secret Medicine to attract the nearby Exotic Beast who could be attracted to the Blood Spider corpse, giving Wick and the others time to move the Blood Spider corpse.

Wick will help He Ao sell the corpse, and then draw a certain service fee from it. The money sold will be directly transferred to He Ao's cryptocurrency account.

Although the beast tide also has a strong sense of oppression, He Ao does not intend to be promoted in the beast tide.

First, there is no C-level Exotic Beast in the beast tide. Based on the experience of the last He Ao ceremony, the stronger the opponent in the ceremony, the better the effect of the ceremony.

Second, the pressure from the beast tide is not enough to push He Ao into an absolute desperate situation.

Therefore, the most suitable place for the ceremony is within the city.

The shaking carriage slowly stopped, and the sounds of staff talking gradually appeared outside the door.

This is still Convoy from the mining group. He Ao "encountered" this Convoy on the road, and then hitchhiked.

This Convoy is exactly the Convoy that He Ao Leaving the City is riding on.

Although He Ao was stuck in time, it was estimated that the round trip time for Convoy would be about three days. I specifically followed the Convoy route that Nell's father once said in my memory and squatted for a while before I successfully squatted on this Convoy.

The Convoy password He Ao has been obtained, so it is easy to sneak in.

Convoy is a small Convoy. Most of the carriages on the return trip are filled with rare ores or some furs.

He Ao is leaning on the fur at the moment.

Just like last time, after the vehicle stopped, the compartment was unlocked but not opened.

He Ao put down a stack of banknotes as fare, then gently opened the door and walked out. At this moment, Convoy seemed to be parked in front of a fur warehouse.

There are still Security Personnel patrolling around, but He Ao is no longer as careful as the first time.

Physical Quality brought by "Martial Artist" and the various skills he accumulated allowed him to easily pass through Security Personnel's sight and return to the street.

He raised his head and looked at the brightly lit tall buildings in the distance.

This city is no more prosperous than Dawn City, or even less prosperous than Kaya City. Under the flashing lights, there is an oppressive twilight, and the continuous heavy snow has covered the city with a layer of silver.

It was like a gorgeous quilt covering a dead body.

He Ao When I left Rock City, the sky was close to Dawn. When I returned here, the night fell.

He needs to be alone in this dark city, waiting for Dawn.

He Ao took a few steps forward and passed a foreign object in a dark corner.

It was a man wearing a shabby coat. His face was covered by a messy beard, and his long beard was hung with crystal ice shards.

He looked young, thirty years old at most, huddled in the corner of the street.

White snow covered his shoulders, covering up his cracked leather shoes.

This is Homeless Man. He remains in a crouched position, motionless.

He Ao slowly squatted down and reached out to touch his skin.

The cold and stiff touch quickly responded.

He Ao's touch seemed to destroy the original balance of the body. The stiff body fell to the side and fell to the ground. He Ao could clearly see his face under the beard. He was "laughing".

This is a frozen Homeless Man.

As his body fell, a long plastic bag was revealed underneath him. It seemed to be his "bed", and the shabby coat was all his warmth.

He Ao straightened Homeless Man's body and continued walking towards the center of the city.

Tomorrow morning, City Hall's staff will take him to be cremated. Rock Municipal Government has a special subsidy to the crematorium to cover the cost of cremating Homeless Man.

This subsidy is not much. In order to reduce costs, the crematorium will stack dozens of corpses on top of each other and put them in a large furnace for cremation.

After the cremation is completed, the ashes will not enter the private cemetery that needs to be rented, but will be pulled to the wilderness by the crematorium for burial.

Some crematoriums secretly dump ashes directly into sewers to save money.

These Homeless Mans lost everything during their lifetime and will not be left with anything after their death.

Shortly after He Ao left, a mother with her child walked out of the night.

She staggered up to the dead Homeless Man and touched Homeless Man.

After confirming that Homeless Man was dead, he took off Homeless Man's shabby coat with difficulty, rummaged through the deceased's pockets, found some loose change and put it into his pocket.

After rummaging through everything, she knelt down, crossed herself over Homeless Man's body, clasped her hands together, and seemed to be repenting.

After a while, she stood up, put the shabby coat on the child, and walked away with difficulty.

In the shadow in the distance, He Ao stood at the end of the street, watching the mother leave.

If Nell was still young and had no other brothers and sisters in the family, he and his mother might end up like this after his father died.

In Rock City, there are thousands of miner families like this.

There are more people who are gradually becoming Homeless Man who freeze to death on the streets.

He Ao turned around and continued walking forward.

A huge and heavy shadow is covering the city. Countless dark tentacles stretch out from the shadow and reach every corner of the city.

These tentacles pressed against people's backs, suffocating them.
