Because the beast scratched Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder, he easily found bloody claw marks on the snow.

He didn't want to encounter any wild beasts again, so he did the opposite and walked down another path that looked like a wild road.

At first he was worried that the wound would have a piercing pain, but after walking for a while, he found that there was no pain in the wound. I wonder if it was because of the cold weather that the wound was frozen. He could only smile and remind himself that once he returned to the land, he would definitely get a tetanus injection as soon as possible.

The roads in the forest are sometimes high and sometimes low, and the snow sometimes covers up some potholes. It is not easy to walk. After walking for a long time, his stomach begins to growl. He glanced at his watch and it was almost eleven o'clock at night. He never thought that he would spend the first New Year in Germany like this, without close friends, gentle girlfriends, delicious food, just howling cold wind, unknown road ahead, and cold wounds.

Another wooden house appeared in his field of view, and the thick branches were stuck in the door bolt. This time he learned to be smart, first walked to the house and observed if there were any windows in the wooden house, and then carefully took off the branches and opened the door.

But it is an empty house.

He could only continue moving forward, but still couldn't find Lao Bai, nor did he encounter such a strange beast again. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

In 2002, Dong Qiangqiang walked to a high place of a cliff. He looked into the distance and saw black smoke blowing towards the sky in a long distance. He guessed that it should be the fire he lit up when he got ashore. There were huge floating ice cubes floating on the mirror-like sea surface. The ice cubes collided from time to time with the sea current, and metal-like sounds came with the wind. Just as he was completely immersed in the realm of nature, a sharp bird song called him back from his contemplation.

He saw a huge black shadow floating from a cliff to the floating ice on the sea. His eyes glanced slightly to the side and suddenly saw a pile of broken wood and fragments of unknown things floating not far from the ice, as well as a vague figure.

Some fog on the sea surface had not yet dissipated, and Dong Qiangqiang vaguely saw the figure waving to him.

Because this scene was too abrupt, Dong Qiangqiang was not mentally prepared at all. A strong sense of anxiety and panic suddenly arose in his heart, and he felt his heartbeat suddenly became much faster.

"Is Lao Bai you?" he shouted loudly while standing on the cliff, but his shouts dissipated in the whistling cold wind.

The figure was still waving to him, as if responding to him.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't bother to shout anymore, and hurriedly jumped off the rocks, climbed down the steep ridge with his hands and feet and carefully.

When he stood by the sea, the figure had already floated away. He hurriedly threw down his backpack and removed his down jacket and shoes, and stood the torch in the cracks of the reef.

After doing a warm-up activity and taking a few sips of wine (note: You shouldn't drink before swimming, he was mainly to keep the cold at this time), he jumped out of a large reef and plunged into the sea.

The sea water was cold and bone-black, which forced him to swim faster. When he finally swam closer to the other party, he found that the figure was a man floating face down on the water. His figure should be a man, his face was soaked in the sea water, but his hair was golden, and his hair and shoulders were frozen. I don’t know how long it took to soak.

Although it is certain that the other party is not Lao Bai, because the scene is too terrifying, no matter how brave he is, he dare not come over immediately. He hugged Duanmu, wiped the sea water on his face, looked at the floating back uneasyly, and plucked up the courage to ask in English: "Hey! Can you hear it? Are you okay?"

But the floating man did not answer his question, and still floated silently on the water surface. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that this might be the action of making him mistakenly think that the other party was greeting him.

He hugged Duanmu and approached the other party, patted the other party's shoulder, but the other party still had no reaction. He grabbed the man's right wrist, but was surprised to find that there were a pair of handcuffs on his wrist, and a dark brown suitcase was locked on the other end of the handcuffs. Perhaps because of the suitcase, the other party did not sink to the bottom of the sea. The other party's tentacles were cold and there was no sign of pulse beating at all. Dong Qiangqiang realized that the other party was dead.

He hesitated for a few seconds and decided to pull the other party back to the shore. After some effort, he hooked the man's collar to one end of the Broken Wood with difficulty, and then dragged the other end of the Broken Wood back to the shore.

After such a tossing, Dong Qiangqiang felt tired and hungry, and the little food he ate at night had been digested. He built several circular piles of stones of varying sizes on the shore, leaving a small hole towards the shore. This was the fishing method he learned on the Exploration Channel before. It is said that he had caught some sea goods when the tide of the sea was low. He had never tried this before, and now he was just trying his luck. After all, he could not find anything else to eat.

There were many caves under the cliff that were corroded by the sea water over time. He picked up a more spacious hole, just enough to lie down, and brought a few big rocks to block the hole. In case he found many branches of varying thickness, three piles of raging fires were generated at the entrance of the cave, and then he shrank into the cave. While drinking, he was burning the fire, and he thought about how to continue looking for tomorrow.

The clothes soaked in the sea water soon dried up. After drinking, he was sleepy and tired. He steadily stuck the broken wood he had carried from the sea at the entrance of the cave. He also used stones to hold the wood to ensure that the wood would not be destroyed by the beast from outside, and then curled up with his backpack.

In the hotel room, Du Lan called Dong Qiangqiang's cell phone over and over again, but what she heard was the prompt sound of "the other party has turned off". She stared at the full moon in the air sadly for a long time, and prayed in her heart that Dong Qiangqiang would be safe and sound.

In the Hanover student dormitory, Dong Yiqing was leaning down in a stack of English textbooks. The phone made a harsh ringtone on the coffee table. After seeing the words "Zhang Shuo" on the mobile phone screen, she turned off the phone directly, got up and brewed a cup of coffee for herself, and then picked up the book as thick as a brick and continued to chew.

At a corner of the disco, Zhang Shuo looked at his cell phone in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. He saw a girl wearing heavy makeup come over with two glasses of wine with a hippie smile. He immediately threw the cell phone out with a smile.

AudiMAX staircase classroom was filled with laughter and joy, and the Liudehuas greeted each other and congratulated each other on the New Year. Tong Lele stood alone outside the classroom wearing a down jacket, looking at the classmates coming and going in the corridor, her eyes full of loneliness, and behind her was Lei Lanting's extremely frustrated face.

In an 8-square-meter single room, the cold moonlight casts the shadow of the iron fence outside the window on the desk. The lights have passed. Lu Wei is still copying the Bible with the flashlight. The orange light of the flashlight reflects on her face, making her look extremely peaceful. A letter paper with the "Application for Commodation" is covered with a huge "approved" red stamp, and a corner of the letter paper is pressed with an exquisite silver cross.

In the dim corridor, there was only the emergency lights flashing green. Suddenly, all the lights in the corridor were on. Then, Wang Shunan and another female nurse rushed out of a ward with a wheelchair and ran towards the elevator, but the elevator was not up for some reason. In desperation, Wang Shunan held an old man who was far more beautiful than him and ran downstairs along the stairs.

There were only two viewers in the huge screening hall of a cinema in Munich. The latest American blockbuster was being shown on the huge screen. Just after a thrilling shot flashed, one of the black shadows' heads slowly leaned on the shoulders of the other, and the second black shadow put his hand on the shoulders of the first black shadow.

It was still evening in the United States. Duan Ju Xinghao was standing in a spacious and bright conference room and talking calmly to a group of people in suits and ties. Behind him was a white board, which was covered with various curves and numbers that were not known to represent. And everyone opposite him could see that his face was full of ambition and desire for success.

In the dial of Dong Qiangqiang's watch, the hour and minute hands will soon overlap.

Several furry black shadows were fishing down along the edge of the cliff and walked quietly towards the fire.

The New Year is finally here.
