However, Cheng Xiang and his party sent out from the foot of the mountain to explore the two directions of east and west, but after more than a month of clearing the wasteland and exploring the road, they were actually at the other end of the mountain...... Perfect confluence.

At this time, these two groups of teams with varying degrees of attrition found that an urn-like rather mysterious mountain structure in the military news was really presented vividly in front of them.

So, now the question arises,

How are they supposed to get into this mountain range?

The capital of a province located deep in the mountains...... Are the survivors in Jeseong still alive?

In this environment surrounded by mountains, is there a predator that is more powerful than the outside world?

These are for the inquirer who has gone around in circles and still has no clue...... It is information that cannot be known.

They could only follow the direction on the west side that was easy to walk on, and return to their temporary shelter at the foot of the mountain as fast as they could.

As the left-behind ones, Gu Zheng and his party have been holding out at the foot of this bald mountain range for more than a month.

Because the production of edible plants here is very small, and there is no large freshwater storage area nearby, on the other hand, there are few encounters with predators and carnivorous animals.

If it weren't for Gu Zheng and the people of the collection team, who went deep into several saltwater swamps in front of them several times, I don't know what method was used to pick up the eggs of various reptiles and birds that inhabit the depths of the swamp, and by the way, they collected some bryophytes that looked very strange but could eat the bryophytes in their mouths, I am afraid that they would have so many survivors...... We are about to face the crisis of food shortage.

But even in this difficult environment, this Uncle Gu is still very optimistic to cheer everyone on.

In his words, the current situation is much better than thinking that the sky was falling apart and the water and fire were ruthless.

You know, what are the least feared by Chinese people?

That's the inexplicable creature.

Just because we have this mouth?

It doesn't matter if it's the skull of the Dunk's fish or the scales of the Serejon Titan python, you can conquer it all with its indestructible teeth and strange and unpredictable taste.

After Gu Zheng did such propaganda work, everyone who was still depressed pondered carefully, hey!

Let's just talk about these lizard eggs they ate recently, and I don't know how Gu Zheng avoided the guards of those murderous cold-blooded animals and Prussian crocodiles with teeth bigger than the table.

That's a quasi-child, and there is no idea of leaving seeds for the other party at all.

If there are animal protectors who object to this, Gu Zheng said again...... These are all their future enemies, regardless of the old and the young, the people who eat eggs, one counts as one, and they are all fighting for the maximum living space for human beings.

This made sense, and in the end, even the eldest Fu Bo in the village ate two of them.

Don't say it, this egg tastes really good.

Because of its size, it is spread out on the rocks at the foot of the mountain that is scorched by the sun, and it is white and yellow and translucent.

Even that fishy idea could be suppressed by a little black pepper and the onion-like plants that Gu Zheng had retrieved.

After the egg drop is slightly cooked, it is a little tougher than a goose egg, and it is an egg that can taste a little pepper steak.

So, even if everyone waited a little longer for the return of the Pathfinder, few people cared.

Even, according to the original agreement, they would look at the east and west directions from the branches of the tallest palm olive tree in the morning, noon and evening, and when they saw the tired group of returnees...... There was not much joy in my heart.

Alas, it's a pity, I don't know if Gu Zheng can find something to eat today, but it's a pity that this kind of good life is about to come to an end.

Even if they regretted it, the lookouts did not forget their duty, and after confirming the visitor, they passed the news to the inside of the camp one by one.

When the exhausted team members returned to the arms of the army again, even if they brought back all the bad news, they were still treated like heroes.

It was the little egg on it, the little wine drinking, the little eyes staring, the little mouth open, just waiting for them to continue.

But as soon as these people took out the summary map they had collected these days, everyone fell silent.

Gu Zheng was the only one holding this hopeless map...... Waiting for the results of the analysis of the book of laughter.

When the atmosphere in the camp was depressed to a certain extent, and even the captain began to doubt his initial decision, Gu Zheng pointed to a node that was only three days away from them, and slowly said his opinion.

"Come and see, isn't there something strange about the markings on this document?"

The people who went to be in charge of the investigation were all young soldiers gathered by Gu Zheng.

They have a natural sense of closeness to this reliable and capable man.

Hearing Gu Zheng say this, a team of people traveling westward leaned over with their heads over, and then saw Gu Zheng in a regional woods blocking position, and gently drew an arrow.

The direction of the arrow is exactly the same as the formation of this dense forest belt.

"You can see the situation at the foot of the mountain here, there is no large plant breeding area around the bare area, not to mention trees, even a small grass is rare. ”

"But this is a special place, and by your telling, there is no obvious trace of the river in the vicinity. ”

"Well, this is strange, from the appearance of the vegetation described in your mouth...... I can conclude that this should be a plant species that thrives in a watery environment. ”

"Where, then, is the source of their life? Can we venture to speculate that a relatively shallow underground river under a thin layer of soil passes through this area?"

"And when they pass through the foot of this strange rocky mountain, they are not blocked from forming the form of a lake or a spring, so are they passing through some kind of passage...... It passed through the hard shell of the mountain range very smoothly and successfully flowed into the urn mountain?"

"So ......"

"So ......"

When Gu Zheng said this, he spoke very slowly, and he was in harmony with it...... It was a soldier whose faces were red with excitement.

Because Gu Zheng's discovery did not veto the decision made by their commander, they had traveled for so long, experienced the loss of comrades-in-arms, and the lack of medical treatment...... It is only then that all kinds of suffering have real value.

"So ......"

"So, let's go directly, or send someone to investigate again, if it's really as Uncle Gu said, then let's find the entrance on the spot, if it's wrong, we can return quickly, and then discuss the next plan." ”

Yes, I only hope that Uncle Gu's judgment is correct, because if it is wrong, I am afraid that they will have to carry their luggage again and embark on the journey.

When the time comes, the world is big, how difficult it is to start from scratch, and they outside the mountain range will definitely not have the strength to continue to march towards the nearby big cities.

Gu Zheng and the captain, who took a deep breath, immediately summoned a reconnaissance team composed of 100 people.

The team members, one counts one, and all have work experience in digging and moving bricks.

A new plan was imminent, with Gu Zheng as the leading captain, he took the map and went straight to the target location.

As for Gu Feifei, who can't do anything?

He is now quite skilled in serving people.

Under Gu Zheng's training, oh no, under the guidance, it was the same as serving Gu Lao Niang like the Queen Mother.

With the skills of a nanny, of course, he stayed to serve his grandmother.

Without worries, Gu Zheng led the team to go fast, and when they arrived at the target location at high speed, everyone knew that Gu Zheng's guess just now was correct after testing around here.

And the entrance to this dark river......

Gu Zheng, who stood up after the investigation...... He stepped the lawn at the foot of the mountain that spread into the cracks in the stones, and a soft pit slowly appeared as Gu Zheng lifted his feet.

At the moment when the pit was formed, a clear spring gushed out, and in an instant, a meandering stream was formed on the surface, overflowing through the cracks in the stones.

The current is not turbulent, and there should be a bigger cavity under the soil layer...... It can accommodate the rushing of underground river water.

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng was overjoyed, and pointed to this lawn and shouted: "Just explore here, let's know the scale of this river." ”

"I'll take a look around this mountain wall again, if the impact is so strong, I'm afraid that it should have washed out a big gap over time, right?"

What if the stone is one of those fragile structures?

Once again, Lady Luck has favored humanity.

Gu Zheng touched the mountain and walked for only a moment, and he really let him find a crack that was really not small.

Gu Zheng touched the craggy side of the hand, and poof, a large piece of mountain rock was peeled off from the whole mountain rock by him.

"Hehe!

Now Gu Zheng didn't care about greeting others, he took a shovel the size of a dustpan made of iron birch, and stabbed straight towards the gap.

'Boom la la ......'

The dust drifted from the sky, and Gu Zheng looked for the easiest space to start like crazy, trying to dig out the largest amount of sand and gravel.
