"Is Ou Lidong in that base also Dongfang Wei's son? Why are they different surnames?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Ou Lidong often goes out, so he naturally doesn't use Dongfang's surname! You didn't look at his pseudonym, so the last word is Dong! Idiot!" The man said, and even stretched out his fingers and tapped Xiao Ai's head.

Xiao Ai was hurt by him and avoided a few steps away.

"A gentleman doesn't act, why are you hitting me randomly!" Xiao Ai looked at him complainingly.

"I want to see what your brain does!"

"You might as well see what your own brain is constructed first!" Xiao Ai glared at him and walked forward.

After walking a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to look at him.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Now I know the name of your master. My name is Haiyao!" the man said with a gentle smile.

"Hai Yao, your surname is Hai?" There shouldn't be many surnames in Hai!

"Yes, my surname is Hai." The man seemed to be very arrogant about his last name.

"Do you have brothers and sisters?" Xiao Ai asked again.

The man who looked a little bit lazy, after Xiao Ai asked this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He walked forward without responding to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai felt that he must have touched some thunder point when he asked this question, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed him honestly.

I really didn't expect that this time I walked, I walked straight to the sun setting.

Xiao Ai regretted it when she walked halfway. She wanted to go back, but she was already in this dense forest, and there was no conspicuous road in front of her, so she couldn't walk out at all.

There is no way to distinguish the direction here.

The dense leaves are all around blocking the sunlight. The deeper you go, the more gloomy you feel.

The trees here are getting thicker and thicker. Xiao Ai really realized that this is the primeval forest. No one has come in to cut them down. These trees have grown for many years.

"I'm tired, take a rest!" Xiao Ai said.

After walking so far, fortunately I just took a kettle, otherwise I would have been exhausted and thirsty.

"Okay!" the man agreed readily.

"Where are you going to take me? We have all gone so far. If we don't go back, will we live in this forest at night?" Xiao Ai asked him.

"It's not far ahead, I'll stay with me at night." The man said very relaxedly.

"Living there?" Xiao Ai's eyebrows flicked suddenly.

"Little girl, don't look old. I'm over forty years old! I'm all your father, so you don't have to be careful of me!" The man seemed to see through the defense in Xiao Ai's eyes at a glance.

"Are you over forty?" Xiao Ai discovered that this man really didn't look old, and he looked much younger than Dongfang Wei.

"Yes!"

After resting for a while, Xiao Ai continued to walk in with the man.

This time I didn't go much further, I arrived at what the man said about his home.

His home is on the trees, and a wooden house built among several large trees that have been around for a hundred years.

I walked up the stairs and saw that the space inside the wooden house was quite small, and several rooms were connected together.

"Drink water?" the man asked.

"Drink, the water in my kettle has long been empty."

The man went to pour a glass of water for Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai tilted his head a few times before drinking it.

After not waiting, there was a place to sit and rest. Xiao Ai began to ask him: "Why do you live in such a remote place alone?"

"Because there is the Bingtan I have been looking for here." The man said.

"Bingtan?" Xiao Ai didn't understand.

"Not far ahead, there is a valley. The terrain of the valley is low and the temperature is the lowest on this entire island. I don't know why it is underground. The cold air is very heavy, which causes the water in the pond to freeze for many years."

"I may know the reason for this. I have read news about this. There are many such phenomena around the world. It is a natural state where the permafrost layer is below the freezing point of water for more than a thousand or even tens of thousands of years, also known as permafrost." Xiao Ai remembered this knowledge when he heard him say this.

"But what do you need this ice pool for?" Xiao Ai asked him.

"Have you heard of the Anderhiding lab?" the man asked her.
