Chapter 61 Sleeping
Eric and Santino studied the map and selected a glacier located in no man's land.Except for the fishing boats that once sailed around the coastline, this place is basically barren.It took them two days to reach the glacier, and on the third day they began to walk deeper into the glacier.
The work of moving Armand was taken over by Santino on his own initiative.Armand could no longer stand, let alone walk across mountains and rivers.He felt the cold wind whizzing past his ears, and his body was shaking up and down as Santino moved forward.
Biting cold.Armand frowned, the climate was too cold even for a vampire.
Now he is still wearing his silk shirt with half of the sleeve missing, and the broken arm has grown back after sleeping.But he would rather the vampire's super recovery ability not take effect so quickly.Now his whole body and his soul are burning with hunger.The cold feeling didn't distract him.On the contrary, the colder it is, the stronger the desire for warm blood in his heart.Armand felt that if he hadn't endured so much pain, he might be crazy now.
He didn't care how Eric wanted to punish him.There is only one possibility to go to such a deserted place.He would probably be buried alive.In fact, he found a coffin to put him in and nailed him to death.It's just that because the possibility of being discovered is lower, it is estimated that it will be a long time before he escapes.
Armand remembered what Lewell had said.The lovably silly vampire said he would never let go.But what about ten years, 100 years, 1000 years from now?He probably even forgot who Armand was?And even Armand himself wasn't sure he could keep his sanity after such a long burial.
Strangely, his heart remained calm throughout.He even has the leisure to enjoy the wonderful landscape that emerges endlessly around him.After all, this will be his resting place.In the vampire's vision, the snow and sand, the ice under the snow, the underground river under the ice, and the hot magma in the depths, they are all so amiable, and they are using their ways to welcome the children of the netherworld .It was the wind caressing the snow field, accompanied by two completely different rhythms of melting and freezing, and formed a wonderful piece of music called time.
"Here it is!" Eric stopped.
He was wearing a thick woolen coat unique to the locals, a sheepskin hat and a woolen scarf, with almost only a pair of eyes exposed, matching that feminine face, he looked somewhat cute.Santino was dressed in the same style as him.The reason why they didn't change Armand's clothes was because Armand had been hidden in a wooden box and moved around by them all the time, and it was only now that he was moved out of the wooden box.Vampires don't freeze to death anyway.
Eric found a natural ice cave.The cave is about 30 meters deep, the entrance is narrow, but the interior is very spacious.They put Armand in the deepest part of the ice cave.
"Sleep well! Reflect on your mistakes. After waking up, you will find that the world is better, if you can get out of here." Eric said to Armand.
"Sleep?" Armand spoke with difficulty.
"Could it be that you have never fallen into a deep sleep?" Eric looked at him in surprise, and then glanced back at Santino.
"I was asleep for 40 years," Santino said. "After I lost contact with all the vampire covens. I didn't understand what was wrong. It made me very hopeless."
"That's right." Eric walked up to Armand, squatted down, and helped him pull out an arm that was under his body. "We fall into deep sleep from time to time. If we can't sleep for many years, how can we have the courage to live forever? Since it's your first time, I can give you a little hint. Think about your situation! No one will find this place, where there are no wild animals. You will just be hungry day by day, and then even in the daytime, the pain will keep you from sleeping, and then this will further aggravate your weakness. There is only one way You can get rid of this by falling into deep sleep. You will sleep naturally for many years, until the magic of time smoothes all despair. Yes, don't worry, you can go away when the time comes. Sleep gives us great strength, and every day We will all be back to our best and even stronger the next time we wake up. Take my words into consideration! Remember next time not to hurt your kind just because you hate it."
Eric left the ice cave with Santino after explaining the method of sleeping to Armand.They didn't block the entrance.Even if Armand could climb out, at most it would only become a vampire ice sculpture.
Armand's consciousness was still in a trance.He wasn't sure he could fall asleep like Eric said.After all, he had never slept through any hopeless situation before.But looking at it this way, sleeping in the past is indeed the best way.Lying in this place, the possibility of being found is too low...
-
Lewell and Louis quickly determined the direction.It was a blocked hole, and according to the person who helped Armand send out the distress signal, Armand was in the ice cave.A few days ago, because of an earthquake, the entrance was blocked by falling ice.
Lewell broke some of the ice with his fist, but it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the solid ice blocking the hole.He clearly knew that Armand was inside, and his life and death were uncertain, but he couldn't go in.This made Lewell extremely anxious.
In the end, at David's suggestion, they chose to find two ice drilling machines and a dozen workers by radio, because only in this way could they ensure that the entire ice cave would not collapse due to random digging.Two days later, the two machines arrived on the scene.After studying the situation a little, the workers began to drive the two machines to work in turn, digging day and night.
At this time, David was the only one among the three who could keep calm.As long as Lewell is awake, he must stare at the hole all the time.Poor Louis has been standing with Lewell, watching the progress of the excavation anxiously.The quality of his sleep has plummeted in the past few days, and the repeated voices in his head make him upset and have nightmares again and again.No matter who the person who helped Armand was, this kind of vigor that was comparable to a tape recorder playing repeatedly made him extremely admired, and he really wanted to cast a series of white eyes at the sky regardless of his demeanor.
During the night, the ice drill stopped.Of course, this is very common in excavation work.From time to time, workers had to reorient and reinforce the tunnels that had been dug.But Louis had an incredible expression on his face when the sound of the ice drill stopped.
"What's wrong?" David immediately noticed something was wrong with him.For several days, the English gentleman's eyes were almost glued to Louis.Of course, he understands better that now is not a good time to talk about love.
"The voice suddenly disappeared. I thought, I thought they were..."
Lewell rushed into the passage without waiting for Louis to finish speaking.
He saw a small hole drilled in the deepest part of the passage.The ice drilling machine has been driven back for a while, and the workers are studying whether they have dug a place.Without even thinking about it, Lewell punched the hole a little wider.This time, his breathing almost stopped.
Armand was lying deep in the cave.There are several large ice blocks around him, which were probably shaken by the earthquake.
Lewell hurriedly used his hands and feet to make the hole big enough for an adult to pass through, and then got in under the surprised eyes of the workers.
Armand looked like he was asleep.The largest piece of ice that fell from the top of the ice cave was less than half a meter from his head.Lewell couldn't imagine what would happen if that thing hit Armand.He carefully took Armand's shoulders and softly called the name of his lost and found companion.
The beautiful boy's face was as calm as ever.Lewell saw that it was probably impossible to wake him up now.Armand's body was as cold as a corpse.Such body temperature is very uncomfortable even for vampires.Lewell immediately took off his shirt, letting the beautiful boy who was only wearing a thin shirt lean against his chest.He didn't doubt that Armand was still alive, because he could hear Armand's very gentle heartbeat.
Lewell thought about it, and decided to go out first.God knows if there will be another earthquake at this time!
So the workers who had just recovered from the shock of "someone could crush such thick ice with their fists" were fortunate enough to witness the miracle of "that strongman actually hugged a person out of the ice cave with his bare arms" scene.Half of them focused on how someone could take off their shirts in a place like this, and the other half wondered how someone could be in this hole.Of course, they quickly got a big hush money to go home.This mysterious incident that cannot be proved became the best talking point after drinking.
Unlike the satisfied workers, Lewell's heart, which had been slightly relieved, hung up again.He couldn't wake Armand up.Once inside the tent, he gave Armand his own blood.He felt that Armand probably needed to replenish his strength now.What's worse, Armand couldn't swallow at all, and Lewell had to force the blood into his mouth mouth by mouth.
But Armand's situation didn't get any better.Not even the slightest change in the rhythm of his heartbeat.His body temperature rose a bit, but that was because Lewell kept warming him, not the spontaneous rise in body temperature of a vampire after getting blood.
It took them another two days to get back to the small city where they had landed by plane.During this period, Armand did not wake up, whether it was day or night.David felt that this was probably the same self-defense mechanism that mortals automatically fall into a coma after being injured.No matter how good the recovery ability of the vampire is, it is impossible for a vampire to lose a lot of blood first, then be thrown in the ice cave for many days, and then recover immediately.
Lewell agreed with David.He was anxious to go back now.He missed the big bathtub at home in San Francisco, where Armand's body could at least be kept warm.
Still, it took them twice as long to get back to London.Several volcanoes in Iceland suddenly erupted on the same day.Thick smoke and volcanic ash made it impossible for the plane to take off.The strong earthquake that accompanied the volcanic eruption made Lewell very grateful that he could find Armand the day before the volcanic eruption.
After arriving in London, Lewell said goodbye to David and Louis.He was very touched by the selfless help of the two friends, but now he must take Armand back to treat Armand's injuries.Due to the impact of the volcanic eruption, the planes were completely suspended. Lewell had to take a boat to the European continent, then take a train to an unaffected area, and then return to San Francisco with multiple transfers.
Along the way, he was giving Armand his own blood.Although Armand showed no signs of getting better, he couldn't think of any other way.Louis really wanted to help before, but Louis didn't know why the vampire suddenly fell into a deep sleep.David said that he would go to Terramasca to check the information, but so far there is no news.
At least we're home.
Lewell kissed Armand's forehead.He took a bath for the beautiful boy, because there was no change of clothes, he had to give Armand his own clothes for the time being.It seemed to him that the person lying on the bed was smiling at him.He couldn't help smiling, activated the mechanism in the bedroom, climbed onto the bed and hugged the beautiful boy's waist, and fell asleep soundly.
At this time, he still firmly believed that Armand would wake up soon.
