Chapter 8: The Ice Wall Dead
The three figures gradually approached before they saw that it was Liu Qingshan's brother, and Lin Tao went up and asked, "Have you three been together all along?" ”
The three of them walked under the ice wall, shook the snow on their bodies and said, "Yes, when it first snowed, we hurriedly came together, and then informed Brother Shan, and the three of us were closest to you at that time, so we hurried over to find you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
One of the strong men named Jin Zhu took a frozen red hand and continued: "I just arrived at your original location, looked for your footprints and looked for it, and saw you walking too fast from a distance, and then because the wind and snow were too strong, we went around in a circle, and we came so late." After listening to Jin Zhu's words, Lin Tao was sure that the figure he saw just now was definitely not one of them.
"I saw a big figure in the wind and snow just now, I thought it was one of you, so I hurriedly chased it back, and suddenly disappeared on the snow outside." Lin Tao told the three people in front of him about his doubts.
"Could it be a snowman?" One of them spoke out quickly.
"You pull it down, return the snowman, how can there be any in this year, it has long been extinct." Jin Zhu said in a loud voice.
The four of them rested in the cave for a while, ate something, left a mark at the entrance of the cave, and began to crawl towards the cave.
The strongest Jin Zhu took a flashlight to open the way in front, Lin Tao followed him, and it took about 1 hour to climb to a slightly faster and more spacious place, and after looking at this small space, Jin Zhu said: "Lin Tao, I think this place looks like it was dug out by hand, and you can see the scratch on the stone in the corner of the wall, which is obviously chiseled." Lin Tao glanced at the scratches that Jin Zhu said, and white and regular excavation marks were all over the rock wall.
After a short rest, several people continued to walk along the stone cave towards the inside, and after a while, the frozen ground under their feet turned into transparent ice, and the temperature in the air also dropped. Before they knew it, the four of them walked into an ice cave full of ice crystals.
"Hey, Lin Shao, you see that this place is quite beautiful, just like a mirror." Jin Zhu smiled and looked at the ice in front of him, but he was frightened and suddenly took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
"Pillar, what's wrong." Behind him, a tall, thin man named Bamboo Pole struggled to pull the golden pillar up from the ground.
"Ice, ice, there's someone in there." Jin Zhu stumbled, as if he was frightened.
Lin Tao approached the ice, took a flashlight and shone it in, and a man with a long mouth, staring eyes, and wearing Tibetan clothes was tightly attached to the ice. Seeing this scene, Lin Tao was also taken aback, but fortunately, he had seen even worse corpses in the tomb of King Dian and the tomb of Gu, so he couldn't bear to spit it out: "It looks like a local, and it is estimated that he has to freeze to death in it for many years." ”
"It's available elsewhere." The only one of the four with eyes took a flashlight and shone it on the ice next to him, and sure enough, there was also a hideous-looking person frozen to death on the ice in front of him.
The four of them calmed down and began to shine in the ice cave. There was one here, and there was one on my side, and soon more than a dozen corpses that had been frozen to death appeared in the ice wall of this small ice cave, all with hideous faces, wide eyes, and long mouths, as if they were frozen to death in the ice.
"What's going on, so many people frozen in the ice?" Jin Zhu relieved himself, after all, he was a brother who had been with Liu Qingshan for many years, and he had also seen some of the world, so he quickly recovered from the fright, looked at the people who were frozen to death inside, touched the ice, and the bone-chilling coldness came from the palm of his hand, so he hurriedly retracted his hand.
The bamboo pole also looked at the corpses frozen in the ice and said: "You see that these corpses are wearing different styles of clothes, these people should have strayed into this ice cave, but I don't know what caused them to be frozen inside." Then he also touched the ice, and suddenly said, "No, come and see, what these people have." ”
Lin Tao turned around and ran to the side of the bamboo pole, looked in the direction he was taking, and sure enough, he found that he had a soil shovel stuck in his waist.
"It seems that they are engaged in local goods like us." Jin Zhu was silent for a while, then looked at the other corpses, and sure enough, he also found some tools: "It seems that eighty percent of these people are here to make local goods, but in the end they were all frozen to death in the ice." It seems that this place is not simple. After Jin Zhu finished speaking, his face sank.
After a few more glances, the four of them hurried and walked deeper again, more and more corpses appeared on the ice along the way, and their postures began to become distorted, and even the stones with only half of their bodies left began to appear in the ice wall, as if they had been eaten by something. The more you moved forward, the more mutilated corpses became, and the corpses wrapped in the ice walls began to become scattered around one by one.
"How do I feel like a labyrinth here?" Jin Zhu walked in front and saw the same half of the corpse as before.
"What, I'll take a look." Hearing this, the bamboo pole hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It seems that this ice cave looks like a lair of something, I felt this way when I first saw the first mutilated corpse just now." If you look at the gaps in the body, the gnawing marks on it are clearly a scavenger. But we haven't seen it since recently, and we probably hide in the corpse and lie dormant. Let's hurry out and see if we can get to the rift, it feels too dangerous for me. After saying that, several people began to find a way out of these ice walls full of corpses, and began to make various marks along the way, and finally entered a road full of frozen soil.
After walking for about half an hour, there was finally a burst of gunfire from the front, and several people immediately became cautious, quickly approached the entrance of the cave, quietly stretched out their heads to see the flashlight flashing below, and found that it was actually an uninhabited city, at least one or two kilometers long, sitting there lifelessly, but the peace was disturbed by the constant gunshots in the city.
"Lin Shao, what should we do now?" Jin Zhu shrank back and asked Lin Tao.
Lin Tao thought for a while and said: "It's too dark now, we don't know what the situation is in the city below, there are still a few hours before dawn, let's observe the situation, and then act, now hurry up and rest to recuperate." ”
Leaning against the rock wall, listening to the gunshots that gradually stopped, Lin Tao did not fall asleep, and quietly climbed to the entrance of the cave to look at the darkness below. Why did they all go back, Lin Tao thought to himself, why didn't they go into the city during the day, they had a good view and easy to move during the day, but why did they have to go into the city at night, was there any danger during the day that they didn't dare to enter? What the hell are they going to do here?
