Chapter 143: The Red Light of the Sun
"Look, look in the direction of the Uramo Mountains!"
At this time, many people outside were also alarmed, and the sound of footsteps continued one after another, and many people ran outside the house, gathered around, and said something loudly in surprise.
Chu Qing and Yan Lin glanced at each other, quickly got dressed, pulled away their messy long hair at will, grabbed the hairpin at the head of the bed, put on a thick winter coat and walked out. Yan Lin hurriedly put on her clothes and followed.
The ground was still shaking slightly, and the open space outside the inn was already crowded with a thick layer of snow, and the heavy snow had stopped, but the temperature had dropped and it was colder than yesterday. There were already more than a dozen people on the snow, and their hair was a little messy, obviously they had just woken up from the shaking of the ground, and they hadn't yet combed and washed.
"Look there, what's that?"
Someone pointed in the direction of the huge body of the Ulamo Mountain Range.
Yan Lin walked out of the room, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the strange scene of the sky in the distance. In the direction that the man's finger pointed, the whole sky was fiery red, as if a huge sea of fire was burning wildly on the top of the snow-covered mountain, and the fiery red light pierced all the fog and reflected the entire sky, and the dim sunlight completely lost its color under its light.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently, and then it returned to its normal state, and the snow accumulated on the eaves fell under the sudden shaking, covering everyone's heads and faces with snowflakes. The snowflakes dispersed, Yan Lin put down the sleeves in front of him, and when he looked again, he saw that the dazzling red light above the head of the Ulamo Mountains had suddenly shrunk together. Like a flaming sun. After a moment, the light faded. But it was soon completely covered by the 'white mist' rising into the sky in the distance. Faintly, it was as if there were countless beasts roaring in the sky. From so far away to the ears, there is still a loud roar that makes people tremble in the soul.
The shopkeeper had already run out, and when he saw the 'white mist' rising into the sky in the Ulamo Mountains, his face was shocked, and he said very strangely: "Big avalanche! We haven't seen an avalanche of this magnitude here in decades! "It's still a long way from the Uramo Mountains, so the owner didn't panic, just looked strange.
What was that red light that filled the sky just now? It seems that nine times out of ten, the avalanche in the Uramo Mountains was triggered by that red light.
Half an hour later, the distance had been restored to its original appearance. It's as if nothing had happened. It's too far away to see what's going on. Seeing that it was not an earthquake, the shopkeeper and the customers were relieved, and some people were still wearing single clothes when they ran out of the room, but at this time they were blown by the cold wind, their faces were so cold that their faces were blue, their legs were shivering, and they quickly returned to the room with a few strange screams.
It was already dawn by this time. Now that they have been awakened, some of the people who came specially for the Dragon Tomb have begun to pack their things and set off. Footsteps rang out one after another, and the small inn became lively again.
"Let's go too."
Chu Qing washed up and looked out the window. With excitement in his eyes, he said: "The scene in the Ulamo Mountains just now is very strange, let's rush over and take a look as soon as possible, maybe it's because of the Dragon Tomb." ”
Yan Lin just looked at the ground situation outside. It was completely frozen, and the car couldn't move. It's also troublesome to want to quit and return to Suhai City. Besides, he was also a little curious in his heart, and nodded. The two of them asked the shopkeeper to help them prepare some snow walking tools last night. Already packed up, had a simple breakfast, and set off immediately.
There were not many people who set off at the same time as Yan Lin and the two of them, there were more than twenty or thirty people, most of whom arrived here yesterday. At this time, a person made a suggestion, anyway, everyone has the same goal, it is better to go together and form a team, and there are many people to take care of each other and help each other.
Except for a few independent people who rejected the proposal, everyone else readily agreed. The person who put forward this opinion at the moment was responsible for taking the lead, and a group of more than twenty people set off towards the place where the red light happened before.
The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, Yan Lin has a deep understanding of this sentence.
When they watched from afar at the inn, the huge bodies of the Uramo Mountains seemed to be in front of them. However, when a group of more than 20 of them actually walked to the main vein of the Ulamo Mountain Range, it was already three days later. There were two fewer people in the line.
One is a girl who has a detached personality and keeps the advice of the leader, and she has to climb a beautiful mountain rock to take pictures. As a result, she just climbed up to put on a good-looking poss, the snow slipped, and she was unstable on her feet, and she rolled into the cliff with the snowdrift and buried it. The cliff was so high that there was no way to settle on the snow-covered mountain, and everyone was powerless to try to rescue her.
The other was too unlucky, accidentally stepping into a deep ice cave and never coming back up.
With the lessons of these two men, everyone was much quieter. After careful journey, we finally reached the top of a mountain in the Uramo Mountains.
This is roughly the place where the red light of the dawn sun came out three days ago. The snow on the top of the mountain has all melted, and there has been no snow for the past few days, showing bare mountain rocky frozen soil, and everyone saw three corpses, which had been frozen by the cold temperature. But it can still be seen that these three people did not die in the avalanche, but were killed by people. There was a terrible wound in everyone's chest, and it could only be the mark left by a sharp blade.
There were no other traces of the bodies other than the three bodies.
But just that, it has already made everyone's faces solemn. The Dragon Tomb is indeed an existence that allows people to do whatever it takes, and in such a snowstorm mountain range where no one has seen anyone before, human life seems to have become insignificant. Yan Lin is a police officer, but the only thing he can do when he sees these three corpses is to remain silent.
Looking at the other side from this high mountain, there is still endless snow in front of you, but because there is no snow, there are rows of extremely messy footprints on the snow surface, and the footprints meander away, which should be the traces left by the group of people in front of them.
Yan Lin and his party had a disagreement here, when they arrived here, they were already shivering with cold, and they thought that they would be able to find something when they arrived here, but they only saw three frozen bloody corpses. A small half of the people have already retreated, clamoring to go back.
Crawling in the snow here, each person is destined to carry little food and clothing, and three days have passed at this time, and the food left is only two or three days at most. Whether to move on or go back the way you came, you really need to think about it.
It was already dark, and even if we were in a hurry, we would have to wait until tomorrow morning. The people had to stop for a moment on the top of the hill, set up their tents, eat a little food, and get into their sleeping bags. Although under the deliberate laughter and reconciliation of the leader Gao Qi, everyone did not quarrel, but the camp was obviously divided into two areas.
"A bunch of people who have no perseverance!"
Yan Lin and Chu Qing were still walking together, and they were in the same tent at this time. Listening to the conversation of people in the other area who wanted to go back the same way, Chu Qing sneered with disdain.
In fact, Yan Lin was also very conflicted in her heart, and she didn't know how to talk at this time, so she smiled reluctantly, and after a while, she pulled up her sleeping bag and fell asleep.
When people are tired, they sleep very deeply, and the next day Yan Lin was awakened by a chaotic sound of angry scolding and frightened.
"Damn, the backpack is gone! I'm-! ”
Coming out of the sleeping bag, the loud angry scolding of the leader Gao Qi got into his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Chu Qing had woken up, sitting on the sleeping bag, his face was very ugly.
"What's wrong?"
There were still many people outside the tent who were scolding angrily, Yan Lin had a faint feeling of being bad, looked at Chu Qing and asked.
"Our food was stolen!"
