Chapter 7: Misty Ruins 3 (I)
"Mr. Min...... Time to go. Wang Xingguo saw Mr. Min standing dumbfounded, came up and patted him, and then Mr. Min came to his senses.
Wang Xingguo saw that Mr. Min's eyes were a little sluggish, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and felt the pulse, Mr. Min's pulse was beating fast, but the pulse was weak, and the pulse seemed to slide shallow under the skin and rushed back to the heart.
This was a sign of mental exhaustion, and Wang Xingguo felt that the further he went down the basin, the more sluggish Mr. Min's reaction became, and now he had to hurry to a high place, preferably to a ventilated place.
High mental tension and being in a claustrophobic space will cause such mental exhaustion, but Mr. Min is a person with experience in exploration, and it stands to reason that the two-day trip will not cause him such symptoms, and Chen Badai also has the same symptoms, but the degree is relatively mild, and there must be other reasons, but now is not the time to find the reason, Wang Xingguo should consider evacuating as soon as possible.
A survivor who has never been lost can only prove that he has not been to a truly dangerous place, but Wang Xingguo has never had such a weird and depressing feeling today, overall, the terrain of Coffin Mountain is very complicated, but after entering the Ghost Gate, it is almost a funnel-shaped gentle slope, it stands to reason that you can reach the bottom all the way down the slope, but at this time, Wang Xingguo estimated that his position was about in the middle of the gentle slope, and there was still a certain distance from the bottom, but time seemed to pass quickly, Everything is abnormal, abnormal corpses, abnormal air, abnormal relics, and all the accumulated experience of Wang Xingguo seems to be out of order.
Fire can dispel abnormal air, if you want to support it for a longer time, fire is the easiest way, the diesel left by the expedition team can support them for a while, Wang Xingguo made a few torches, lit one, and said to Chen Badai and Mr. Min: "Keep up, don't distance yourself." ”
"Are you sure you can't go in the wrong direction?" Chen Badai looked at the fog around him worriedly, now it doesn't matter why the dead man walks, the important thing is to find the right direction.
"It should be fine." Wang Xingguo said.
"Boss, you shouldn't!" Chen Badai shook his dizzy head, trying to make himself sober, he couldn't make any mistakes at this time, otherwise the expedition team would be a lesson from the past......
Although Wang Xingguo didn't know why, he confirmed that when they were at a high place, their dizziness symptoms were relatively mild, so Wang Xingguo felt that the top priority was to climb high, and first solve the problem of dizziness, and he believed that with the help of fire, he could return to a safe height.
Wang Xingguo asked Mr. Min to hold his belt, at this time to maintain the tightest formation, the excitement just now, Mr. Min's reaction was half a beat slower, Wang Xingguo urged him several times before reaching out his hand, and walked for a short time A burst of burning heat wafted into Mr. Min's nose, mixed with the smell of diesel fuel and burnt sleeping bag cotton wool, which made him sober up a lot.
I walked down the path just now, but no one can remember the cobweb-like path, the path here is different from other places, usually the path meets at most two or three, but in some places there are even five or six paths intertwined, whether it is a person or an animal, except for a maze made on purpose, who else would be so boring? The most important thing in the field is the direction, which is what Wang Xingguo's survival instructor in the special forces has repeatedly emphasized, deliberately remembering the road as long as there is a mistake will be a heavy blow to morale, Wang Xingguo's first task now is to lead everyone to climb high, as long as they climb high enough, they can avoid dizziness.
Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai went up the gentle slope all the way, in some forks in the road Wang Xingguo felt that it was necessary to make road signs, Wang Xingguo put a torch on the side of the fork road, today's weather is not good, Chen Badai looked at the watch several times, the watch pointed to the time when he entered the ghost gate last night at more than four o'clock in the morning, Wang Xingguo estimated that it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, it should be when the sun was relatively large, but now the fog does not seem to give the sun any face, but is getting heavier and heavier, Visibility dropped sharply from one or two hundred meters to twenty or thirty meters in less than an hour......
"Dog, I don't think it's right......" Chen Badai's head became more and more dizzy, but he felt better as soon as he got close to the torch, but 2 kilograms of diesel fuel was not much, Wang Xingguo had to be careful with his calculations, so he only lit a torch.
"Strange...... It's been so long, it's time to arrive! Wang Xingguo also muttered in his heart, the light is getting dimmer and dimmer, it is going to be dark, if he can't find the exit before dark, then Wang Xingguo doesn't dare to guarantee what will happen.
"Could we be on the wrong track?" Chen Badai asked, he didn't see the ghost gate or any other useful road signs for a long time, and Chen Badai was a little anxious.
"It shouldn't be...... We've been climbing high......" Wang Xingguo looked around and found that it was in vain, and the fog made him unable to see any road signs. According to his judgment, at this time, the coffin was in front of his right, and the direction of the ghost gate was on the front, which might be a little off, but the general direction would not be wrong.
And Mr. Min's behavior began to become more and more bizarre, he had become indifferent to any affairs around him, and seemed to not care at all what Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai were saying, let alone participating in discussions. There was always a strange voice in his head mocking him: "Just you? It's up to you? Want to unlock the secret? Ha ha...... Ha ha...... Haha"
Mr. Min's spirit was a little dazed, and he muttered a few words from time to time to talk to the strange voice in his head, and his voice was so low that Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai, who were close at hand, couldn't hear it clearly, and could only vaguely hear something like: "It's impossible for you to unlock the secret...... Your lover is long dead...... Loulan has been annihilated...... There is no longer a ......" word, and occasionally, Mr. Min seems to be misled by the words in his head, "Hehe...... Haha......".
The presence of such a person in the team would have a negative impact on the emotions of the others, and there was not much time left for Wang Xingguo, who had to find a way out, or at least find a safe place.
It is normal for people to be deflected by the terrain in low visibility, but Wang Xingguo has always paid attention to this and constantly made corrections, although he also turned several corners along the way, there will definitely be some directional deviations, but according to his experience, the deviation will not be much.
Along the way, a few people first passed through the Ghost Gate Pass, the terrain near here is all stones, almost no soil, near the Ghost Gate Pass seems to be a smooth large stone slab extending down, followed by the terrain mixed with soil and stone, at this time there are some wild grass and other plants, and then down is the meadow area, but this all the way up quickly walked out of the meadow area, but in the soil and stone mixed area for so long walked has not found the big stone slab......
