Soon, it was completely dark, and nothing could be heard outside the igloo except for the sound of the storm. And this sudden blizzard didn't seem to stop, the hula was getting bigger and bigger, and when it came to the back, there was the sound of hard objects hitting on the snow roof - this was the snow flakes that had turned into hail. Fortunately, Li Huan didn't cut corners when building the snow house, every snow brick was injected with a faint aura and then pressed tightly, as long as it wasn't smashed down by a thousand huge stones, this snow house was not a big problem.

Soon, the time reached two o'clock in the evening, and the snowstorm slowly decreased, but Li Huan's uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Li Huan, did you really feel something?" Shangguan Qing actually didn't sleep all the time.

"Hmm...... It's hard to say what it is, but I always feel like something is staring at me. Li Huan leaned against the entrance of the snow room, with an aura lingering in his hand, and then slowly strengthened the snow room. Li Huan couldn't use his aura too much, because he was always worried that the aura satellite would monitor him, so he could only use little by little aura to slowly strengthen it. But even so, the sturdiness of the snow house reinforced by Li Huan is also very strong. Now even a thousand boulders can't crush it.

"Could it be that you feel wrong, this weather ......" Shangguan Qing shrank beside Li Huan.

"If it's me alone, then I don't have to say...... Look at Leon them. Li Huan pouted at Li Ang and Rodman: "Look at them, they have fallen asleep." If you think about it, they are now Qi Refiner physique, and I used the liquefied spiritual power left by Tlaltai Kutli to push them up, and according to the level, they are already at the second or third level of Qi refining. Do you know what this concept is, they don't eat, drink, sleep or get tired for a week. It's okay to say that they've been spinning all the time, but yesterday everyone was well rested, and today we only walked for five or six hours, and they were tired like this? I just felt their state, and both of them were very mentally weak. ”

"Yes...... Shangguan Qing was stunned: "No, then why wouldn't I be like this?"

"You've always been there for me, how are you the same. Li Huan pouted: "And you broke through on your own step by step, which is not the same as the quick one, so you can resist more." Li Huan groaned for a moment: "But I don't know what is affecting them, this is the most terrifying, I don't know what is peeping at us, I don't know where this thing is, but I am sure now that there is something peeping at us." ”

When Li Huan said this, a sudden gust of wind blew from the snowy roof, making a sound like his nails scratching the blackboard, which made people get goosebumps, Shangguan Qing suddenly felt that the cold hairs on his whole body exploded: "Don't talk nonsense! Aren't you already very powerful in the Qi Refiner, how can there be something you don't know?"

"I'm not omnipotent, and if I thought so before, after meeting Tlaltaycutli, I would be foolish. Li Huan smiled bitterly: "Do you know what I'm worried about? In that mountaineering incident, there are only two possibilities, the first is caused by some kind of facility of the former Soviet military, because they have radioactive elements on their bodies, and this can indeed be suspected on the head of the Soviet military." You know, those crazy labs of the former Soviet military are very famous. What takes the dog's head on a man and drills into the center of the earth to find hell...... If they had developed a crazy facility here, I wouldn't be surprised that a few innocent college students had been implicated in it and died. ”

"It makes sense to say that, and this is indeed something that the former Soviet people can do. But if that is the case, what are we worried about? After they collapsed 30 years ago, many secret facilities have been sealed in the dust, and with the current military strength of Russia, it is impossible for them to reproduce the miracle of the Soviet Union. Shangguan Qing said.

"Yes, you don't have a problem saying that, if those college students were really harmed by the secret research facilities of the former Soviet Union. Then I'm a little more relieved. But I'm worried about the second possibility. Li Huan said.

"Second possibility?" Shangguan Qing was stunned: "This is the Ural Mountains." It was the focus of attention on the Eurasian continent during the Cold War, where even the European continent could not build any secret facilities except for the former Soviet Union, which had the strength to build various facilities. I think you're probably overthinking. As long as the hidden dangers left by the former Soviets are eliminated, there should be no major problem. Now you don't have to think about it so much, let's climb this ridge of death as fast as we can, as long as we cross the ridge of death, we will face the great plain of Siberia. Rovisha and Agata have already connected us with the sled, and if we get on the sled, no matter how good the tracker is, we will be submerged in the boundless expanse of the Siberian Plain, and then we will be safe. ”

"You think too simply, I thought about the incident over and over again, and then I came to a conclusion that maybe it was not the pot of the former Soviet military, but people with special abilities. Think about the situation of those college students at that time. Li Huan said.

The horror of the Dyatlov affair lies in the inexplicable details that took place in the midst of it. Even though many researchers and event enthusiasts have tried to generate a convincing explanation for the event, so far there has been no one that can explain all the incomprehensible details of the event. It can be said that the Dyatlov incident is by far the most real and bizarre event that has ever occurred in the history of modern mankind.

First of all, Li Huan felt that there was almost no possibility of the mountaineers dying by themselves. Because these mountaineers are all competitors - the alpine climbers of the Ural Technical Institute in Yekaterinburg are all professional athletes. Moreover, before the Dyatlov incident, this was still a ski resort, so when Li Huan and the others passed by the mountain, they also saw rows of abandoned houses that had been used as holiday homes, so logically speaking, there should not be a particularly dangerous situation.

Then, they mysteriously disappeared.

What happened even more bizarre was the fact that the government of the time used a massive search to find out their whereabouts - the search teams of the mountains of the Northern Urals, as well as the local police in Yekaterinburg and Yvdjeli, and even the garrisons of the Ural region, began to join the search for missing people. By 24 February, the number of people involved in the search and rescue operation had reached 2,000, and the military had dispatched helicopters and reconnaissance planes to begin a large-scale search of the area.

This is an unrealistic thing, because Li Huan knows very well those in the former Soviet Union. Several college students who risked their lives in the mountains were trapped in the mountains and disappeared, and according to the urine sex theory of the Soviet government at the time, a large-scale search was dispatched, and even a police team was very rare at that time. A search of this magnitude, even in the Nordic countries where human rights and freedoms are now claimed, are unlikely to happen, and it consumes too much public resources. The fact that such a large-scale force can be sent to search collectively shows that the former Soviet government must know something.

Of course, such a large-scale search must have yielded results quickly, and the tent of the mountaineering team was discovered, according to the recollections of the people who found the tent at the time, the tent had a large hole in the middle, and there was no one in it, and all the luggage and equipment of the missing people were still in the tent. According to a detailed investigation at the scene, the tent was cut with a knife from the inside. Outside the tent, there were footprints of eight or nine people, some of them wearing socks, others wearing only one shoe and the other

Wearing socks.

Things get even weirder here.

In winter, the temperature in the Ural Mountains can drop to about minus 20 degrees, and experienced mountaineers cannot know the terrible winter hypothermia. They had been sleeping well in a tent, but what had happened that made them use knives to cut through the tent? Why did they flee barefoot without even shoes and socks? These experienced young people knew that in such an environment, barefoot and without equipment would be tantamount to death, that is to say, they must have encountered something more serious than endangering their lives in the tent at that time.

Putting aside the miserable costumes and the bizarre wounds in the back, there is no way to get past this alone - if there is no way to explain it from the beginning, what kind of military and what kind of Bigfoot and the like are in the back, even if they are perfect, they are all fallacies.

Tearing the tent from the inside of the tent is rare, but it is often a last resort in the event of an avalanche. Therefore, many search and rescue personnel thought that these missing team members should have thought that an avalanche was about to happen, so they hurriedly ran out of the tent where they camped that night. The fact that their footprints extend to the forest higher up also shows that the team members have a lot of experience in dealing with avalanches: once an avalanche occurs, escaping along the side to higher vegetation is a more effective way to avoid the avalanche area. Puzzledly, however, when the search and rescue team found the tent, it was not covered in snow – even the footprints of the team members were visible. In the event of an avalanche, the tent is likely to be washed up from a high altitude along with the snow to a lower altitude and buried to a certain extent, and it is impossible to retain the footprints left by the insiders during the escape.

So judging by the situation on the scene, the avalanche – at least a massive avalanche – did not happen at all.

And what happened next was even stranger, the few bodies that were found were not frozen to death, but fatally injured. For example, there was a couple in the middle of them, Zorotarov and Dobinina, whose bodies had lost both eyeballs, and their tongues were "torn off as if they had been torn out by force", and no tongues or connecting tissues were found on their bodies. The medical examiner found many traces of severe fractures, but the soft tissues of the corpse - including skin, muscles, blood vessels, etc. - did not have any serious damage. For example, if a person's leg is broken by a stick or something, not only will there be a fracture, but there will also be a certain tear in the muscle, a rupture in the blood vessel, and so on. However, on the bodies of the four climbers, the forensic doctor found only fractures of the bones, but no serious muscle tears and subcutaneous hemorrhage.

According to the recollections of the medical examiner in charge of the autopsy at the time, the fractures of these bodies were as if they were fractured directly from the inside, rather than the result of trauma – there is only one possible way to cause such fractures at the level of science known: shock waves.

"Impossible! There may have been a lot of crazy research in the Soviet Union at that time, but shock waves, shock waves, were not at all mastered in that era. In those days, there was only one way to create a shock wave, and that was to detonate explosives. According to the situation you described, if they were injured by a shockwave weapon, according to the results of the search at that time, there was no trace of an explosion nearby, and if it was a shockwave coming from a distance, then at least hundreds of thousands of tons of equivalent would have to be detonated here to cause such a result. After listening to the details told by Li Huan, Shangguan Qing directly denied this statement: "That's impossible, this is a snow-capped mountain, and there is a lot of pine snow on the snow-capped mountain." Not to mention the direct detonation of hundreds of thousands of tons here, after the explosion of hundreds of kilograms, it will cause a catastrophic avalanche. ”

"Here's the problem, you say, what is it that makes them hurt like this? So I said, there's a second option. Li Huan said firmly: "Strong spiritual power." ”

After speaking, Li Huan added: "Actually, if you add supernatural abilities, I can analyze this matter perfectly. While climbing the mountain, these college students encountered a person with strong supernatural abilities. He tortured these people to death with his powerful mental power. I don't know why, but let's assume for now. You know that when the spiritual power is strong to a certain extent, it can form substance, and for ordinary people, it can not only burn their brains. If a person's spiritual power is strong enough to reach a certain level, it is not too difficult to move objects through the air. For example, if you ask me to move a brick with mental power now, it's easy. ”

After speaking, Li Huan condensed a spiritual force, and after snorting lightly, he saw Li Ang's backpack on the ground floating in the air. This backpack is a professional hiking bag bought at the foot of the mountain, plus all kinds of messy equipment inside, it weighs about 30 pounds.

After the display, Li Huan said again: "Let's assume for the time being that there is a very powerful supernatural ability. He tortured the students to death and was later discovered by the Soviet military. And I suspect that the capables of this supermarket are likely to be related to the former Soviet military. If that's the case, it all makes sense. After this supernatural person killed the college student, the former Soviet military knew about it and took the initiative to hide it for him, and sent a large number of search teams to do so. However, the death of these people is indeed too bizarre, and in order to make this more plausible, the former Soviet military left some glaze elements on them - in those days, as long as it was related to nuclear testing, it was mysterious. ”

"You say that, it seems to be true!" Shangguan Qing walked through Li Huan's words, and suddenly became enlightened. In fact, as long as this matter is joined by supernatural abilities, everything can be explained, and Shangguan Qing does not believe that the former Soviet military does not know the existence of supernatural abilities. And it took so many people to encrypt and decrypt all kinds of files, and there was no mention of this suspicion in it, but all judgments were led to science, which was a very strange thing.

"yes, after I figured it out, I thought so, maybe it was all done by some supernatural person. Li Huan said.

"But there is one thing I don't understand, why did he do this?" Shangguan Qing said: "And the strangest thing is that if this statement is true, then why did the former Soviet military cover it up for him?"

"That's what I'm worried about, maybe there was some kind of occult experiment here, maybe some unknown 'arrival', in short, the former Soviet military was unwilling to make it public or offend. Li Huan pondered for a long time: "Actually, I have a guess, but this guess is too scary, if that's the case, then I'm not sure to continue to go down." ”

"What is it?" Shangguan Qing was stunned: "Can it scare you?"

"After crossing the ridge of death, descend to the Great Siberian Plain, less than two hundred kilometers from where we are going—that secret base, which may contain the remains of Traaltakutli. Li Huan smiled bitterly: "Terratai Kutli is harmless now, but you didn't see her appear...... The scientists of the former Soviet Union are notoriously mad scientists, and I believe that there are a large number of supernatural beings under their command to assist in research. Do you think they did something to these remains...... So that's why this horrible thing happened?"

"The remains of Terra Taycutli...... They can't really be so crazy, right?" Shangguan Qing shuddered at the thought of what Li Huan had described about Tlaltai Kutli: "They don't know what this is!"

"If I had found a corpse that had not rotted for hundreds of years, and I had been so sick that I had used a dog's head to pick it up on a human for experimentation, I might have been interested in those bones. Li Huan sighed: "But these are just my guesses, I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen." If it has something to do with her remains, then we really can't do anything but call her out to solve it herself. Now I can only hope that it is not. ”

After Li Huan said his guess, Shangguan Qing and Li Huan were worried all night. The night the blizzard slowly stopped, and the wind outside gradually became quieter, and the two of them were so cranky, thinking all night what if it was the remains of Tlaltai Kutli, and fortunately, nothing happened in one night. Early the next morning, Li Huan opened the roof of the snow room, poured in a handful of fresh snow, and swept away the depression of last night, the sun sprinkled down from the sky, shining on the silver-white snow and looking dazzling. Although the sun in Siberia is not as warm as in other places, the orange color has brought psychological stability.

Everyone set off again, but Li Huan didn't tell everyone about his guess - if he guessed wrong, it was best, and if he guessed correctly, he could only resign himself to fate.

From yesterday's camp, we will climb upwards and will reach the summit at an altitude of about 2,000 meters. Under the leadership of Li Huan, everyone walked quickly, because today's weather was very good, and everyone recovered their energy after resting for a night last night, so the progress was not slow, and it didn't take long to rise a thousand meters above sea level, and they came to the most famous "Death Ridge" of this mountain.

"Death Ridge" is the name given to it by the natives of the neighborhood. Because its peaks are pyramid-shaped, with ice cliffs, the mountain is steep, and the steep slopes are covered with avalanche chutes. To climb the Death Ridge, you need to cross a 4-kilometre-long fractured glacier. The terrain is complex and varied, with broken glacier surfaces, light and dark ice crevasses, countless steep rocks climbing upwards, and a series of ice picks that could fall to your death at any moment, making it feel like you're in an ice hell.

At noon, Li Huan took a long group of people behind him and came to the broken glacier.

Today's weather is very good, and there is Li Huan leading the way in front, so everyone's physical strength is still well preserved. It's just that it's a little hard to breathe at high altitudes, though. However, everyone is a cultivator, and the only two Russian girls who are not cultivators, Rovisha and Agata, the two of them often do mountain training when they are in the service, so everyone is in good shape.

"It's spectacular!"

Although everyone knew that they would pass by a glacier and that it was the most dangerous way to get to the ridge of death, when they saw this "glacier" with their own eyes, they were still amazed by its majesty. It is so beautiful, it has reached the point that human language cannot describe, and the beauty has even made people regard those deadly dangerous chaotic cracks as heavenly scenery - this glacier that has been frozen for I don't know how many years has revealed an incomparable blue and deep blue color in the white snow peaks, which is a touch of blue and dark green from the depths of the bones.

"Look at the head, step by step, even if you step on my footprints, it doesn't mean that the ice won't break in the next step. Li Huan instructed everyone: "The ropes are connected one by one, and they must not be separated, understand?"

Everyone nodded.

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators still have an advantage in terms of pure physical strength. At least it won't be so quick to starve of oxygen. Li Huan kept scanning the faults under the glacier with the sub-machine in front of him, bypassing those potential dangers, and in about an hour, he had already crossed two-thirds of the broken glacier. In the middle, because of Li Huan's guidance, everyone did not encounter danger, although it was slower to walk like this, but there was an advantage, that is, there would be no danger. Because Li Huan will scan all the fractures under the ice in advance, as long as there is something wrong, he will bypass it.

This kind of glacier that has frozen for an unknown number of millions of years, as long as one of them falls into it wrong, it is hell. Of course, Li Huan can use the Spiritual Qi to rescue the people in distress, but it is still the same sentence - after suffering so many crimes, they have all come here, if the Spiritual Qi Satellite is discovered again, then the crimes suffered before are not very wronged?

And Li Huan is not in a hurry, Li Huan is more concerned about the initiator of the "Dyatlov Incident" than the danger of the ice. Since the departure today, Li Huan has not felt like a man on his back anymore. The staring gaze of yesterday is completely gone. But this did not make Li Huan feel at ease, but became more worried.

Could this be the so-called calm before the storm?

If this unknown existence is difficult to walk on the glacier, it will be really unlucky. So when Li Huan reached the last part of the journey, he began to urge everyone to speed up. It was almost six thousand five meters above sea level, and it had become very difficult to breathe, and everyone could still adjust their physical strength when moving at a constant speed on the glacier, and as soon as this speed was added, Rovisha and Agata couldn't support it at first, and began to be dragged forward by Leon and Rodman.

But fortunately, everyone is not a person who is pretentious about ink, even if they are dragged by others, the speed is constantly accelerating, and everyone has not complained. Under the premise of Li Huan's continuous acceleration, the gentle slope of the glacier, which would have taken another hour, was crossed in half an hour. It wasn't until they could look up at the pyramid-shaped peak that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you climb over this peak, there is a super gentle slope formed by snow flakes from Siberia for hundreds of millions of years. When the time comes, whether to roll down the mountain or slowly go down, at least there is no danger. After passing through the most dangerous glacier, Li Huan looked up at the peaks that were still hundreds of meters high, and then looked at the embarrassed people, he used the machine to scan the surroundings, and then said, "Okay, let's take a rest." ”

"It's finally time to rest, I just thought I'm going to die. Rodman's racial weakness made him very wrong when facing terrain such as snowy mountains, and he sat on the ground and gasped: "I really admire those mountaineers, how do they climb up?"

Li Ang was also ashamed: "My physical strength is too poor, I thought I was good." ”

"You're thinking too much, it's good that you've gotten this far. Professional mountaineers need a lot of professional equipment and even carry oxygen cylinders. A lot of acclimatization training is also required before climbing. We were on a tropical island the other day, and we were charging towards 7,000 altitudes, and we were still in the Alpine style without any equipment, so it was amazing to be here. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, everyone followed Li Huan, but later they were dragged away by Li Huan, except for Shangguan Qing, who took it for granted, the other four were all blushing - they couldn't beat the boss, they didn't have as much knowledge as the boss, and now they are dragging their feet when they walk, and this is still in the case of becoming a cultivator, they are like this, shouldn't they go back to the furnace and rebuild it?

But fortunately, when Li Huan said this, everyone thought about it. Aren't the mountaineers I usually see carrying heavy equipment, and in order to reach the summit, they have set up multiple supply camps? Thinking of this, everyone felt a little better, and adjusted their breathing to prepare for the next journey. But just when everyone adjusted their breathing to recover their strength, suddenly, Li Huan heard a muffled sound under his feet.

Bang......

"What sound?" Li Huan suddenly became alert.
