Chapter 172: Hope Snow Mountain [32]
―Amazing Discovery―
.
The astonishing discovery originated from Xiao Qiang and Ah Qi, who were still walking in circles on the top of the snowy mountain. Along the way, whenever they see a zombie infected, they immediately shoot and shoot away, except of course, when they encounter the kind of big guys, they have to run from time to time......
Whew-w
After climbing a steep slope, they stepped onto a steeper snowy mountain trail. On both sides of the road, there was a white frost mist that could not see the bottom of the road, and when you looked up, you could see the cold sunlight shining directly. Not far away, two mutant yaks had their heads strummed in the snowdrifts, as if they were rummaging through something to eat.
Bang Bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
"Those two yaks are infected, kill them!"
When one of the white-eyed yaks lifted its head from the snowdrift, it was hit by a bullet in the middle and broke half of its horns, and it ran in anger and rage.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang!
About halfway to the middle of the road, the mutant yak rolled straight down the steep snowy road due to a slippery foot. It screamed and screamed until its head was pounded against a sharp rock, and then it was declared dead on the spot.
The other mutant yak was directly killed under the strong firepower of the two. It let out a long whimper, which sounded like a trumpet, and then fell heavily into the snow.

"Let's go." Ah Qi walked cautiously ahead, and Xiao Qiang followed behind him slowly and vigilantly.
The snow on the soles of your feet became less soft than Sucrose, but stiffened by the cold wind, and you could no longer hear the crisp rustling sound.
The long slope on the right is a little gentler, and as you look to the right, you can clearly see a large, light-black walled fortress standing proudly on the snowfield.
The two of them walked forward, trying to find out where its gate was, and if there was really the energy tower they were looking for.
Xiao Qiang looked up and saw the big telephone pole deep in the snowdrift. However, the four black cables were not connected to another telephone pole, but broke directly not far away, and they were buried deep in the snowdrift, frozen for an unknown number of years.
"We've been walking for so long and haven't found where the gate is, and it seems that the area inside is bigger than I thought." Ah Qi felt a biting cold. He walked with his arms crossed, and the AK-47 hanging from the side of his backpack also bumped back and forth.
"yes, why don't we find a place to sit down and have something to eat, Ah Qi?" Xiao Qiang half-tilted his head and looked forward, and said with a suggestion.
"Are you hungry so soon?" After hearing this, Ah Qi simply stopped, stood where he was, turned his head to look at him, and asked.
"If I don't eat anything, I'm going to freeze to death."
"Yes...... Let's go and squat in the corner over there, I look at it as if it's still blocking the wind. ”
"The best." Xiao Qiang squinted his eyes and said to hinder the piercing of the cold wind.
On the snow, there were solid shoe prints left on by the two of them. In the same way, they suddenly noticed that in addition to the footprints left by themselves, there was also a pair of feet that were slightly larger than normal, like human footprints but not footprints, turning around and walking straight towards the snow road in front of them.
"Ah Qi, look...... I suspect someone has been here. After the two slowed down, Xiao Qiang looked at the pair of cold footprints on the ground, nervously twitched the expression on his face, and his mouth began to whimper.
"Come on......" The look on Ah Qi's face was very embarrassed and dazed. He lifted his helmet upwards and shook his head. "Don't be here, or our hard work will be in vain."
"But how do you think it's just one person?"
"A person is too—preferably not a person, phew." Ah Qi shook his head cursedly and sighed.
Now, the two of them dragged behind the folded corner with a heavy load. Although the amplitude of the arc is not very large, and the temperature is as cold as ever, they are already very satisfied if they can avoid the cold wind and howl.
"Hiss, hoo, hoo." After pulling the heating can ring, Xiao Qiang, who was sitting on the ground, held the shell of the tin can with both hands in a trembling way to keep himself warm.
But Ah Qi didn't rush to squat down and eat, he took off the AK-47, and was vigilant except for the white environment behind him.
"Titicaca ......"
"Eh, aren't you cold, sit down?" After Xiaoqiang noticed him, he used his shoes to drive away the snow on the ground while talking, making room for him to warm up.
"Xiaoqiang, you stay here first, and I'll go to the front and have a look." After speaking, Ah Qi set off and walked briskly along the poisonous wall.
After being stunned for ten seconds, Xiao Qiang suddenly reacted. But he didn't want to stand up at all when he was cold now, so he could only helplessly shout at his back: "Ah Qi, don't go too far!" ”
"I'm right there at that pole!" After Ah Qi heard Xiao Qiang's roar from behind, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the telephone pole in front of him, and signaled to tell Xiao Qiang: "I won't go too far!" ”
Indeed, the distance is close. This made Xiaoqiang very relieved, but at the same time, he didn't go with him because he was afraid of the cold, and he felt entangled and guilty.
With his gloved hands, he clutched the warm tin can to keep warm. Looking at the steaming cabbage and battered balls inside, he smiled with relief.
To be able to eat such food, for Xiao Qiang, who is a member of the death squad, this is his greatest honor. And he hinted in his heart that he would eventually live up to the expectations of the battalion commander and the wishes of his dead brothers, dismantle the signal tower of the snow-capped mountain, and strengthen the prestige of the camp to stop the war.
"Huh?" Ah Qi looked up at the top of the wall. I don't know if it's due to illusion, but he seems to see a figure from the wall. But the moment he raised his head, the figure vanished in a flash.
The telephone pole next to it was tilted forward, and it was very crooked. On it, there is even an advertising leaflet with the edge of the wind blowing around. Ah Qi walked in and saw that it was written:
"In the second year of the Infection War, the world's third special operations defense force was built."
Below, there are also nine unfamiliar names written. Although it was old, it still had a strange ink color—and it was strange and incomprehensible to Ah Qi: why not engrave it, but just scribble it on a piece of paper and stick it on a telephone pole?
He cracked his lips, and walked a short distance forward until he saw a winding snowy road.
