Chapter 230: Gathering
Dredging aroused those long-term memories, and I lay in bed but couldn't sleep, after all, I was careless.
How could I have thought that someone I thought was dead would hide in Lin Min?
The burial place of Sijie and Zanjin's bodies is what I told her, and with her ability to integrate her brains, the success rate is much higher than ours.
Judging from the current situation, she has completely completed the fusion, and it is impossible to beat her in a solo fight.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning wake up early visitors, and the sound of motors and laughter of people outside the tents continues.
After two days of rest at the camp, we were ready to return when we received a call from Barry.
All the people he sent to investigate the video of the expedition team in the cave were missing, including Wei Dong.
In addition, since two days ago, a large number of tourists from all over the world have flocked to the Altyn area of Xinjiang, and all of them are women.
Because the matter of the cave is not trivial, Bai Rui monitored all the vehicles leading to the territory of Ruoqiang County.
Even eyeliners have been installed at major stations, and they attach great importance to this matter, and the road leading to the snow-capped mountain where the cave is located has been under martial law, and no one can cross without a pass.
However, there are more than 4,000 snow-capped mountains in Xinjiang alone with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and it is impossible for their blockade line to be stretched too long.
All they could seal off was the road, not the entire snow-capped mountain.
Bai Rui sent the coordinates and information to Sanjiu, and the area belonged to the Altyn Reserve.
The southwest corner of the Altyn region borders Tibet, and the Muzitag Ice Peak in the territory is the highest peak in the East Kunlun Mountains.
According to the data, the mysterious cave is within its 200 square kilometers, and there are 54 peaks above 6,000 meters above sea level in this land.
The document also records the location of the last time the investigation team spoke to Barry, and he wants us to go over to support the missing investigation team.
Barry made a point of emphasizing that this was his 'request'. Sanjiu agreed, not because of Bai Rui's request, but because he wanted to find out about the clan and the golden tablet.
Due to Bai Rui's sudden call, the plan to return to the capital was ruined, and the booked ticket was refunded, and Yi and I talked alone all morning.
She has gathered her fellow citizens from all over the world, and her prestige remains. There must be a part of the population who will support her.
Yi must immediately ask her subordinates to organize all the people they can contact. Leave as soon as possible on the ship of the sound tu.
Handing her the communicator left by Jiaohe, I shook her hand heavily and said:
"You can fit as much as you want, if you don't have enough people. If you are willing to bring your family, you can also take it with you. ”
"What about you?"
"Leave me alone."
"In case ......"
"Go back and continue to be your servant of the people, and if the monarchy is the trend of the times, you should take it down."
"Once you are sure that the environment in your hometown is suitable for survival, I will come to pick you up. It's your business whether you go or not. ”
After saying that, he left without looking back, and Hua Zeng nodded at me and Sanjiu. After saying 'take care', he caught up with Yi and left with her on the hitchhiker of the mountaineer next door.
Yu Sanjiu and I took the train from Lhasa to Golmud first, and when I was changing buses in Golmud, two passengers in the same train caught my attention.
Identification is mutual. I recognized them, and they recognized me.
But it was inconvenient to talk in the car, so I waited after getting off the bus in Ruoqiang County. The two sides came together tacitly.
In the crowded station, the passengers are in a hurry. No one pays special attention to us standing in the corner.
"You're going to the meeting place?" I'll speak first.
"Yes, do you know who used the war harps to gather the clansmen?" The taller of the two asked.
"Dredge." I replied truthfully.
"She?!" The short woman was surprised.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are from the Blazing Girl Clan, and by the underground river, you are the only ones who have not done anything to the baby ghost." A memory popped up and reminded me of the two people in front of me.
"It's rare that the chief still remembers us, it's an honor." The tall woman bowed her head slightly.
"You've decided to take refuge in Shutong?" I asked.
"I didn't know that she played the war harp, so I came here." The short woman said bluntly.
"Since you don't have to follow her, you might as well contact Yi, the ancient mothership and holy relics are all together, and everyone can go home." I wrote Yi's phone number to them, and after the two of them took it, they thanked them solemnly, turned around and went back to the ticket office to buy a return ticket.
The driver of Bai Ruipai stopped at the edge of the small square outside the station and waited for us, and after getting on the bus, he said:
"It seems that not all the people she summoned are of the same mind as her, so we might as well set up another checkpoint."
Sanjiu was inspired by the two of the Blazing Girl Clan, and Shutong could summon his fellow clans from all over the world to rush here through the war harp.
We can also set up another checkpoint on the outskirts of the rendezvous to lure away those who are willing to take a boat home.
It's just that it's very difficult to do so, not to mention how vast the Altyn area is, and even if you check the female tourists who enter the area one by one, there are not enough people.
The investigation team sent by Bai Rui built a base camp at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and after they disappeared en masse, Bai Rui transferred several investigators from nearby to temporarily station.
That night, the guards caught a suspicious person trying to sneak into the camp.
I heard the noise and walked out of the tent to see, isn't this the legendary sister who broke into the underground research center alone in S City?
"Alas ~ Xiaoxue, it's me who is me, I'm a legend!" When she saw me, she quickly showed a bright smile, looking familiar.
"You know?" The guard looked suspiciously back and forth between me and the legend.
"Acquaintance." I replied reluctantly, but there was no need to lie, so I had to admit it.
"I said I was here to find someone, you don't believe it, let it go!" The legend struggled to wrestle on the pinned shoulders and shouted.
"I'm sorry, Director Bai's order, no one is to approach the camp." The guard said with a blank look.
"You want to keep her?" Sanjiu also walked out of the tent and stood next to me and asked.
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." I sighed helplessly.
"I'll call Barry." After Sanjiu finished speaking to the guard, he took out his satellite phone.
Sanjiu gave the legend a pass in exchange for assisting in the investigation, and the guards let her go.
As soon as I was freed, she pushed me into the tent. He said he had something important to talk to me about.
There was a lot of stuff in the tent, and we were about to go into the mountain tomorrow, so we packed everything in the middle of the ground.
Legend unceremoniously sat down on my sleeping bag and got into it with ease.
Without waiting for me to stop her, she rushed to say, "It's sweet for you two to squeeze together." ”
I was angry for a while, the sleeping bag was so small, I couldn't squeeze two people horizontally or vertically!
She zipped up her sleeping bag. He sighed contentedly. Thinking that I was covering her warm, I wanted to pull her out and throw her outside to freeze.
Sanjiu opened the single sleeping bag and spread it flat, and the other sleeping bag was also opened and covered on it. That way the two of us can cuddle together and sleep.
The legend was amazed to see this, but fortunately she still knew what she was here for, and she didn't lie down and went to sleep.
She warmed up before she said, "You know what." We're in big trouble. ”
I raised my eyebrows, but didn't say anything. She glanced at me and continued, "This place will soon become a battlefield. ”
This time, she didn't stop to look at my reflection, but took out a pair of bracelets from her pocket, similar to the health bracelets sold in stores.
"One for each of you. It's rare, and you can't buy it even if you have money. ”
She said and handed me the bracelet, and I took it. But instead of putting it on his wrist right away, he looked at her intently and asked:
"What's the situation?"
She snorted. Said: "What is the situation, just in case, something that can save your life." ”
I didn't want her to be fooled, so I asked, "What are we going to do?" ”
Legend has it that he smirked to cover up her intentions and was debunked by me, and then said, "A new type of weapon, used to deal with Wu Nian and evolved people like him, try it for you first!" ”
Hearing her say this, my heart calmed down, there is a new type of weapon successfully developed, it is better than Wu Nian and others have nothing to do.
Sanjiu suddenly asked, "Wu Nian and his subordinates are also there?" ”
Legend nodded: "Yes, and arrived earlier than us, no, before your investigation team." ”
If this is the case, then the disappearance of the investigation team may not be an accident, and they are estimated to have been arrested by Wu Nian.
The night at the foot of the snow-capped mountains was unusually cold, and the lights and wind outside the tent remained overnight.
I only slept three hours a night, but it was enough, and I spent the rest of my time thinking.
The golden tablet sent a signal, Shutong summoned the Drifting Fire people, and Wu Nian stayed here, what is the connection between the three?
The golden tablet sent a one-way signal to Tadus, and Shu Tong used the war harp to summon the clansmen, and it would never be against Wu Nian.
"Partnership." Legend has it that he spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, sat down in the chair next to me, picked up a breakfast, and threw out such a sentence coldly.
"Huh?" My mind had already drifted away, and I didn't understand what she was saying.
"I think she is saying that Wu Nian and Shu Tong still have people who use the golden tablet, and the three parties are a cooperative relationship." Sanjiu analyzed for me.
"The signal to an unknown star region is a set of coordinates, and the corresponding location is here."
"You already knew?"
"Otherwise, that's why I'm here."
"Your M organization is powerful enough, and the signal that no one can decipher is actually deciphered by you."
"Believe me, M has a longer history than you think, and the members of the interior belong to the World Cultural Heritage Conservation Level."
"You too?"
"No, no, I'm a newcomer and a little transparent~"
"Do you know who deciphered the signal?" Sanjiu asked.
"Sorry, internal secrets!" The legend shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he could not say more.
"Why should M get involved in this?" I asked.
"There are no eggs in the nest, how can the old elves not understand this truth?" Legend has it that after taking her last sip of coffee, she got up and put on the backpack she had brought with her, and said to us, "It's almost time, let's go." ”
I didn't ask her what time it was, because I guessed that she was referring to the time of the signal.
A complete message, including the location and, of course, the time, which could be the time of the rup, or the time of the attack.
Sanjiu sent the news that Wu Nian and his men had gathered nearby to Bai Rui, and I was afraid that martial law alone would not be enough in this place.
The camp's makeshift investigators set out with us, and the guards stayed behind to wait for support.
The GPS positioning provided us with navigation, the equipment was also prepared in the camp, and the rest was to move towards the target location.
The cave is not marked on the main peak of Muzitag Peak, and the knowledgeable people in the team have set the safest and most convenient route for everyone.
On the way, legend has it that she talked to me about her in the Karakoram Mountains, which are more than 1,000 kilometers away from each other as the Muzitag Peak, which belong to the same Kunlun Mountains.
She came straight from there, and since she had also gone to the place where Sijie Zanjin was buried, I asked her if she had found anything.
Her answer matched my guess exactly, and by the time she found the tomb where the body was kept, it was empty.
I guess she didn't meet Shutong, otherwise how would she retreat and run to a place more than a thousand kilometers away.
Fortunately, she was a step late, otherwise her life would have been lost!
"The person you're talking about, is he really that strong?" She asked, disbelieving.
I told her that Shutong had fused with Sijie Zanjin, and that with her temperament, the body must have been destroyed by her.
Legend has it that after all, I have never been in contact with Shutong, and I am very disdainful when I hear me say that she was one step late but saved her life.
She also lifted me out, saying that I have not only fused Sijie Zanjin, but also been modified by ancient genes, and it is not the same that I will encounter a crisis!
I can only sigh secretly when I hear this, her words are true, but it is because I care about more and more people and things.
Besides, Shutong was much better than me before, she has always lived only for herself, and more importantly, she is ambitious, but I don't!
A person with great ability, no matter the cost, no fear of sacrifice, and inflated ambition, you don't know what crazy move she will do next.
Finding the location of the cave, it hid under a protruding mountain, split laterally, narrow at both ends, and only the middle part could be climbed into.
No one would be interested or curious about a mountain crack like this, but as soon as we stepped within 10 meters of it, the GPS locator and the electronics on each of us all went to rest.
"This is it, just like in the video." I said to Sanjiu and the people who traveled with me.
"Who? Come out! Sanjiu suddenly stared at a rock and shouted.
The people in the team were armed, and when someone heard Sanjiu's shouting, he immediately drew his gun and pointed it at the rock.
A slender figure slowly moved out from behind the stone and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
This man has red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big black eyes are embedded in his pointed melon seed face.
"You're ......" I looked at Sanjiu, trying to make sure my guess was correct from his face.
"Zhao Le." Sanjiu called out his name directly, which also confirmed my guess.
"Brother Jiu." Zhao Le blinked his big eyes, his eyes revealed joy, this sound of Brother Jiu was very familiar.
At the bottom of the Grand Canyon, I hid on a giant mushroom and watched him fall to the ground when he was attacked by an electric snake, and his last cry was to call for Brother Nine.
But he's already parasitized by corpse worms! (To be continued.) )>
