After following Jin Siniang to prick the four foreigners who didn't know the height of the sky, and helped them pour out the decanting soup through urine, the urging sound of the bus horn had already sounded in the backyard of the restaurant.

After getting off the bus, I followed the others to an empty wasteland in the suburbs. As soon as I shook my hands and feet and moved my muscles and bones, there was already a sound of helicopter propellers "da-da-da" overhead.

Huaxia Group is really strong. Of the three helicopters, one was specially equipped with equipment. When I stepped forward, I saw that there were really everything from all kinds of gold needles and candles, rope flashlights, dry food and drinks, medicine and blood packs, and even five or six submachine guns and grenades.

"Don't worry." Hua Ying, who had changed into a military uniform, saw that I was eye-opening, took a step forward, touched a five-four pistol, skillfully loaded the bullet, neatly adjusted it, and after handing it to me, she smiled at me kindly:

"The weapons are all specially applied for by the group for archaeological exploration, so try to bring them with you."

Seeing that I nodded, silently closed the safety of the gun, pinned the gun to my waist, and turned around to pick out some surgical knives and medicines, Hua Ying took a step closer, patted me on the shoulder, and suggested to me:

"Young man, you'd better bring more weapons to defend yourself." After speaking, without waiting for me to respond, he had already walked to the middle of the team with capable steps, and announced to everyone in a melodious and beautiful voice.

"Everyone listen to my command, in order to facilitate scheduling, take into account safety and everyone's strengths, I want to divide the team into two groups, five masters and the captain of the eagle, is there any good advice......"

Listening to Hua Ying's meaning, Huaxia Group has really come up with a set of standardized processes for archaeological expeditions.

In particular, in the configuration of the team, each squad has the roles of ghost descent, sapper, machine work, feng shui and support, and the team leader, as the soul of the overall situation, in addition to strategizing and commanding everyone, also has to play a functional role in the team.

Specifically, these functional roles are:

Ghost Descent - As the name suggests, the role in the team is mainly responsible for dealing with the zombie spirits who are doing strange things, and they are generally taken by capable people with profound Taoism. This is also the reason why Hua Ying has to spend a lot of money to invite the five sect families who move the mountain road.

Sappers - literally, are mainly responsible for digging holes in the ranks. Of course, the physical work involved is also unshirkable. In addition, it is also responsible for the use of hot and cold weapons to participate in some real combat operations. Therefore, Hua Ying will use the internal relations of the group to transfer a team of elite commandos from the North American region.

Feng Shui - responsible for planning routes and making plans, including the general direction of the dragon and the specific location of the tomb, is a type of role that integrates the analysis of the situation and on-the-spot scheduling, which is equivalent to the brain of the team. It is usually played by experienced old oilers or clear-headed geniuses.

Machined - A type of person who specializes in cracking crypt mechanisms. Listening to what Hua Ying said, she had also considered finding a successor to Faqiu Zhonglang to do this job, but the other party sat on the ground and raised the price temporarily, which made her unable to swallow this breath, so she gritted her teeth and gave up the option on that road.

Support - Suitable for "generalist" characters who are familiar with various class functions. Usually as a lead candidate for a specific functional role, to assist teammates when needed, or to fill in vacancies after a specific functional role unexpectedly falls. This consideration, from the perspective of safety and emergency response, is indeed a very robust and reliable strategy.

"Wait! Mr. Hua! Isn't there a 'team doctor' in the team? "I finally listened to Hua Ying explain the team configuration plan, and habitually wanted to find my own position, where did I know that Hua Ying chose the weapon supply after explaining the precautions, so anxious that I couldn't help but stand up and stop her, and put forward my own opinion.

"Oh, didn't you look at the contract carefully when you came? Our group is not an ordinary archaeological activity, and the operation is often fatally dangerous. Although there are medical supplies in the equipment options, but, in my experience, there is really trouble, and it is too late to treat. ”

After saying that, this proud woman actually threw a bright wink at me, as if to say, "We don't welcome amateurs!" ”

I rub! I should have thought of it in the first place! The level of risk of such a project is definitely much higher than the two adventures I have experienced before! The problem is, my original intention was not to participate in any "clamping lama", I just wanted to find an opportunity to ask Lei Datong what information he knew that might be related to Ah Xia's departure!

Should you consider quitting?

Worst! When I complained that I didn't have a chance to ask Lei Datong for advice, Hua Ying, a resolute woman, had already given the final list at the suggestion of several masters.

Alpha group (or group A, whatever):

Team Leader: Hong Li (also a ghost).

Ghost Fall: Lei Datong.

Feng Shui: Huang Yong-Kang.

Sappers: Eagle, White Bear.

Machine: Tu Shaozhong, Hong Linfeng.

Support: Black Dick.

Ho~ As expected, the Hong family is indeed the head of the five major sects, and Hua Ying is also very important to Hong Li, who is in charge, and made him the leader of the team without any suspense. Wait, how is this TM allocated? Of the five masters, one team accounts for four?! Obviously, the distribution of strength is uneven!

And what surprised me was that Tu Shaozhong and Hong Linfeng, two newcomers of the younger generation, Hua Ying and the masters, actually let them take over the heavy responsibility of the machine alone! Alas, Mr. Hua, are you really because you didn't invite Faqiu Zhonglang, and there is no one available in your hands?

Next, it's the beta group (group B?) where my half-son is located. ）：

Team leader: Hua Ying (she didn't disclose what she does).

Ghost Descending: Jin Siniang.

Feng Shui: Mu Weiwei.

Sapper: Panther, me.

Machined: Wildcat, Tiger.

Support: Water is like a cloud.

Well, look at the configuration, except for the team leader and the ghost who are a bit of a big name, the others are compared with the same position of the first team, and it is obviously a substitute lineup!

Even the important function position in charge of treasure exploration, machine work, was arranged to two foreigners who fell to the ground with a bottle of elixir and jade liquid! Mr. Hua, are you also drunk high, and the whole two laymen are here to hold us back?

And most importantly! How did I become a sapper! In terms of body shape alone, the wild cat, that beautiful woman, is obviously stronger than me! And, the point is, why do we have to be with the black panther who was stabbed with a thousand cuts! I don't think the calluses in my ears and eyes are not thick enough!

This lineup arrangement is really amazing.

……

It's useless to complain.

Sitting in the helicopter, amid the incessant noise of the propellers, I was secretly glad that I didn't have to listen to the harassment of the panthers. As soon as I saw him speak, I immediately excused myself for not being able to hear him clearly, and decisively learned from Jin Siniang, Mu Weiwei and others, closed my eyes and recuperated my energy. After all, if nothing else, after going to the ground for a while, there will be a chance to be tired of legs and feet, so let's see the wisdom and think together, and seize the opportunity to nourish the spirit.

After flying for more than three hours in a Mi-17 helicopter painted with the logo of the Huaxia Group, the eight members of our second team finally landed in a barren hill. After landing, the group changed to a team of Toyota overbearing off-road vehicles on the ground, and after bumping in the roadless mountains for most of the day, they finally came to this piece of abundant water and grass, and the scenery was beautiful, just like the paradise that I had been fortunate to witness in the old mountain village.

Just looking at this tranquil and beautiful scenery, it is hard for anyone to believe that this is the "Gate of Hell" located in the Death Valley area of the Kunlun Mountains.

Speaking of the "Gates of Hell", which has a fantastical name, when there was a signal on the mobile data network, I also looked up anecdotes and legends related to this ghost place on the Internet.

According to legend, the valley in front of you, which is shrouded in mist and flowers, and is abruptly cut off from the surrounding barren Gobi, is the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain, known as the "Gate of Hell".

It is said that the valley is littered with wolf skins, bear bones, steel spears left behind by the occasional lost hunter, and lonely graves on barren hills. And these weird embellishments are all rendering an eerie and terrifying atmosphere of death to the world.

As the saying goes: "The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low", in the eyes of ordinary herdsmen, the place where the grass is fertile and the water is enough is their paradise for grazing. However, in recent years, the shepherds living in the Kunlun Mountains would rather starve their cattle and sheep to death on the Gobi Desert because they had no fat and grass to eat, rather than enter the ancient and silent valley of death in the Kunlun Mountains.

Why?

Legend has it that in 1983, a group of horses from the Alar Ranch in Qinghai Province strayed into Death Valley because they were greedy for the fat grass in the grain. Unwilling to suffer in vain, one of the accompanying herdsmen ventured into the valley alone to look for horses, despite the dissuasion of his companions.

As a result, after a few days passed, the people did not return, but the herd of horses appeared at the mouth of the valley. Later, when the body was found on a hill, he was found in tattered clothes, bare feet, angry eyes, mouth wide open, shotgun still in his hand, and he looked dead. The most puzzling thing is that there are no scars or traces of assault found on his body.

It's as if he died of some curse, and his soul is shattered and detached.

However, the scourge has not yet stopped. Shortly after the tragedy, a geological team working nearby was also hit by a death storm.

It was July of the same year, and just as it was still scorching heat outside, a snowstorm suddenly fell near Death Valley. I heard a deafening roar of thunder accompanied by a sudden snowstorm, which startled the cooks who stayed in the camp and fainted on the spot.

According to the recollection of the cook who survived, when he heard the thunder, he immediately felt numb all over his body, his eyes turned black, and then he lost consciousness. When the rescuers arrived to rescue him, everyone was shocked to find that the gray Gobi outside the camp had turned into scorched earth all over the ground, like ashes. Within a radius of several miles, all the animals and plants as far as the eye could see had been "killed" by the thunderstorm.

Subsequently, the geological team quickly organized a scientific expedition team to pick a sunny day to investigate the valley. Exploration has found that the magnetic anomalies in the area are extremely pronounced and widely distributed, with the higher the magnetic field anomalies the deeper into the valley. Under the effect of the electromagnetic field, the electric charges in the clouds and the magnetic field of the valley cause the electric charge to be discharged, making it a mine-rich area, and the lightning often targets running animals.

This speculation is also the best explanation for several events that occurred in succession.

It's just that after experiencing all kinds of bizarre events that have followed in the past few months, seeing these records, I have a faint premonition in my heart that things are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface. Tomb Hunter East White
