Chapter 228: A Few More Groups
In other words, the danger is not small, but the issue of "time" is even more urgent.
It's been more than half a day, and according to the "calculation" of the road, it is only one-third of the way, and judging from this situation, it is difficult to say whether it can reach the river if it is delayed any longer.
After thinking about it, the fat man patted his chest after a while: "Brother Dong, we are big men, we are well-known men, dangerous and difficult, that is the opportunity to prove that we are the big man, do you want such an opportunity?" β
was provoked by the fat man, Xu Dong naturally refused to show weakness: "Yes, the people who have walked this road in front of him, aren't there also people who have gone back alive, what are we afraid of?" β
Mu Siqing looked at the three of them once, and saw that the faces of the three of them all had a look of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains", and she was very sorry in her heart.
Originally, Xu Dong and the fat man were dragged by Qiao Yanxue, but after telling the truth, these two people who were originally helping Qiao Yanxue immediately turned around to help themselves, knowing that there was a more than fifty percent chance that they might not be able to get out and go back, but the three of them also did not hesitate and moved forward bravely.
This is how can Mu Siqing not be moved!
Anyway, it was a rest, and the fat man set up the pot stove by the way, and made a pot of fragrant beef and rice, and everyone had a full meal together, replenishing enough body, and preparing to finish the journey that should be walked within today.
However, to everyone's surprise, after eating, the four of them walked for more than an hour before they encountered a big obstacle.
In the path calculated by Mu Siqing, at the current location, it should be a river valley more than two kilometers wide, but what appeared in front of a few people now was not a river valley, but a strange-shaped, shaped area like a brown stone forest.
This area of stone forest is extremely large, and the lateral distance is almost unpredictable, which means that if you want to get around the stone forest, it is simply impossible - it is impossible in time!
Moreover, at this time, Mu Siqing and Xu Dong also discovered a strange phenomenon, when they arrived in this area, the more things left by the people in front of them wanted to come, and it seemed that the number of people who could reach here suddenly increased a lot.
"What's going on?" Xu Dong asked Mu Siqing, because this phenomenon is somewhat abnormal, it cannot be a good sign.
Xu Dong asked Mu Siqing like this, in fact, he also intended to remind the "boss" that the situation is already very unoptimistic, at least, everyone should quickly increase their vigilance.
Mu Siqing naturally understood what Xu Dong meant, and asked a few people to stop outside the stone forest at the moment, but he squatted down and carefully checked these abandoned things.
The fat man said heartlessly: "There are a lot of things that have been thrown away here, which means that there are a lot of people here, maybe, people from another road have also come here, hehe...... This shows that the road that the boss has taken us is in the right direction, the future is bright, and the road is flat......"
Qiao Yanxue interrupted the fat man's words on the side: "According to the route I originally designed, even if it is the closest place, it will take half a day to come here, that is to say, if you go to the closest position here, and then go forward, it will only take half a day to reach the destination, so it is impossible for people who take that road to take a detour." β
Xu Dong looked at the things on the ground for a while, frowned and asked, "Did the people found by Grandpa Qiao distribute equipment and supplies in a unified manner, or did they purchase them themselves?" β
Qiao Yanxue didn't think about it, and replied without hesitation: "Because each of them comes from different places, even if they are in a team, there will be different differences in food taste, utensils usage habits, etc., my grandfather never asked for a unified distribution of equipment and supplies!" Instead, they are directly given money and let them handle all kinds of materials according to their preferences. β
"That's bad......" Xu Dong scratched his head and said worriedly.
Seeing Xu Dong's heavy face, Mu Siqing was also worried: "Xu Dong, tell me your opinion!" β
Mu Siqing is a police officer, and she knows this kind of thing very well, but out of trust in Xu Dong's "nose", Mu Siqing naturally wants to listen to Xu Dong's opinions.
Xu Dong glanced at the things on the ground, and said worriedly: "Judging from the discarding of these things on the ground, there are at least five people who have come here......"
"Damn, there are a few groups of people, you can smell this too!" The fat man interjected with a look of envy on the side.
Xu Dong glanced at the fat man: "The mineral water bottles on the ground, it seems that there are a total of four brands, which means that at least four groups of people have been here......"
"Didn't you just say that there were five groups of people, and why did it become four again?" The fat man grabbed Xu Dong's stubble and didn't let go, and Xu Dong must come out with a reason.
In fact, the fat man himself has no doubt about Xu Dong's statement, Xu Dong said that there are five dials, or eight dials and ten dials, which has nothing to do with the fat man, and the fat man is too lazy to pay attention to it.
The reason why the fat man did this was mainly because he saw Qiao Yanxue a little disappreciative, obviously there were four brands of mineral water bottles, but it was said that it was five sets of people, if Xu Dong was just because of his "sensitive nose", the fat man would not pay attention to it, but looking at Xu Dong like that, it was clear that he didn't smell it by his nose, since Qiao Yanxue didn't think so, the fat man naturally refused to let go of Xu Dong.
Moreover, when Mu Siqing heard Xu Dong say this, she also frowned slightly, and obviously didn't think there was anything clever about Xu Dong's words.
However, Xu Dong bent down, took two identical bottles of mineral water bottles in his hand, and said to the fat man: "There is a factory date on it, and the factory date of these two mineral water bottles is two months apart......"
"Maybe when someone was buying, they just bought this mineral water with a two-month difference in the factory date!" The fat man is not convinced, but when this reason is said, there is indeed a willingness to have this situation.
It's just that Xu Dong shook his head: "If several people go together to buy temporary thirst-quenching water, I believe that the situation you said will indeed occur, but what kind of place is this?" To come here, the water needed is not a small amount, and I believe that if you were to prepare the water for the four of us, you would definitely buy the whole piece, and then this difference in the factory date would not be stored at all. β
"Damn, I didn't expect your nose to be sensitive and your reasoning skills are not bad!" The fat man is finally convinced.
I didn't think that Xu Dong smiled faintly and said, "As long as you are not a person who thinks with your ass, you will not ask me such a question." β
"You ......" The fat man was stunned, then pointed at Xu Dong and said angrily: "You dare to say that I am thinking with my ass...... I...... I'm not done with you......"
As he spoke, the fat man was about to kick Xu Dong again.
Mu Siqing frowned and said in a deep voice, "You two don't make trouble, okay?" There's still a lot to do......"
Stopping the laughter between the fat man and Xu Dong, Mu Siqing turned his head to Qiao Yanxue and said: "Xu Dong is right, I think, there should be five groups of people who have been here, but, you said that the people you sent out have only five groups so far, and not all of them are on this road, so there should be several other groups of people, who will they be?" β
Qiao Yanxue shook her head, Qiao Yanxue didn't know anything about the sudden extra group of people.
The fat man blushed, smiled, and said, "Wouldn't it be great if a few more groups of people came out, no matter who they are, there are many people, and it is ...... lively."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Dong really kicked the fat man's ass: "Don't be so naΓ―ve, okay, this kind of thing, even if there is one more person who doesn't know the details, it is very dangerous!" Hmph, you still say that you have mixed the rivers and lakes, you don't understand such a simple truth, what kind of rivers and lakes are you called! β
All "treasures", "ancient tombs" or something, leaking the news, will inevitably attract countless people to peep, and these peepers, will definitely not pay attention to what humble and courteous people, once the treasure is found, it is absolutely ruthless, black and black, meet these people, than meet the poisonous snake beast is a hundred times more terrible.
The fat man said that no matter who they were, there were many people and it was lively, which was definitely an extremely naΓ―ve idea.
And what Mu Siqing and Xu Dong are worried about is precisely this reason, maybe, among the people sent by Old Man Qiao, some of the people who failed to go back are very likely to be because of these extra people.
However, what puzzled Mu Siqing and Xu Dong was that how could these suddenly extra groups of people suddenly appear here? Is there another way to this place?
A few people were delayed outside the stone forest for a while, not to mention an hour had passed, the fat man waited a little impatiently, just three days, now almost half a day has passed, the remaining time can be said to be pitiful, or spend less time on these meaningless things.
It's just that Mu Siqing, Xu Dong and even Qiao Yanxue, the three of them don't want to see this matter as "meaningless", perhaps, this is also a key to the success or failure of the whole thing.
Therefore, the hearts of the three people were heavy, and even if they entered the stone forest, the three of them were unwilling to say a word.
As soon as they entered the stone forest, the four of them realized that the situation might be much worse than they had imagined!
In these patches of brown stone forests shaped like bamboo shoots, on those brown stones, you can find traces left by strings of bullets at any time, and bullet casings that can be stepped on at any time, all show that there was a fierce shootout in this stone forest.
Judging from the dense bullet holes on these stalagmites and stones found along the way, it should be an extremely tragic battle, like this kind of battle, there should not be only one or two people killed in the battle, but Mu Siqing, Xu Dong and others have never seen a corpse that was shot and killed, not to mention that there is no corpse left, not even a trace of blood.
This can't help but make Mu Siqing, Xu Dong and others feel very curious, could it be that in such a tragic battle, aren't the two gangs fighting together?
There was a tragic battle in the stone forest with no bones and no blood, which made Mu Siqing, Xu Dong and others curious, but what surprised several people even more was that after walking in the stone forest for nearly two hours, Mu Siqing took everyone back to the place www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion!
