118. [Uncharted] Snowy uninhabited village
Something seems to be wrong. Martinez retreated to the carriage further ahead, leaving a group of minions to hold on. What does he want to do? I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Mao Yuyu went to reconnoiter and found very bad signs.
Some of Martinez's men were quietly planting explosives at the junction of the previous carriage. It seems that this is trying to forcibly blow up the train and get rid of Nan Xiao and them?
It seems that the weapon of mass murder must be used.
Freezing Flame, a trophy from the mages of Stardew Valley. Nan Xiao took off the necklace hanging on his chest and held the brilliant sapphire in his hand. There should still be seven Frozen Flames stored in this gem, and it's time to use up one.
From the gap between the wooden box and the carriage, he quietly aimed at the opposite carriage and recited the spell that would activate the magic.
In an instant, an extremely cold light flew out and hit the opposite carriage.
A miracle happened. The frost quickly crawled all over the wooden crates, the tin sheets, and the faces of the men.
The gunfire stopped, and everything froze. The few people hiding behind the wooden box turned into ice sculptures, exuding a hint of coldness.
Joel was surprised and opened his mouth wide: "What is this?" ”
No need to ask, ask is the secret art of Wakanda.
The line of defense was breached, and the two men shook off the ice sculptures and rushed to the other end of the carriage. As they ran, they opened fire so rapidly that the people on the other side were on their backs. However, it was still a little slower. Just halfway through the run, boom! The train blew up.
The explosion was so violent that Martinez must have gone crazy and didn't know how much explosives had been placed at the junction of the previous carriage. Nan Xiao was running forward when he suddenly felt a strong wall of air hit him head-on, pushing him unsteadily and having to grab the seat next to him.
It's useless to catch either. The momentum of the explosives was so great that the whole carriage flew up, like a leaf in the wind and snow. Right next to the cliff. It rolled down the rock wall, dragging a long line of carriages, very irritable, as if it had come to life.
It felt like the tumbling went on for a long time. After the dizziness that made my stomach turn over gradually disappeared, Nan Xiao found himself hanging in the air. The train carriages stood up, swayed gently, and hung completely in the air.
It's dangerous, and the carriage is now hanging entirely on the cliff, all hanging by the hinges of the previous carriage. No one knows when the hinge will break. This height fell down the mountain, and it must have been so cold.
The wind was so strong that his face hurt and he couldn't see where Joel was. Could it be that Uncle Joe has already fallen off the cliff?
I can't take care of it too much now, so I can only climb up desperately.
From the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the special training along the way is still very effective. After getting used to hanging and climbing around the side of the ship, Nan Xiao felt that it didn't seem to be difficult to climb the train car. There are horizontal bars at the bottom of the carriage every other section, which is of appropriate thickness and is a good climbing point.
Climbing all the way to the top of the carriage, I had just wiped my sweat when suddenly, the previous train began to slide down!
People often do their best when they are in danger. At that moment, he jumped with all his strength and jumped into the previous train! Come on! Desperately running forward. The carriage slid all the way, he went all the way forward, and at the moment when the whole carriage was about to fall into the deep valley, he ran to the end and jumped forward hard!
It's a pity that it's just a little bit off
Seeing that he was still half a foot away from touching the edge of the cliff, Nan Xiao's heart tightened: Am I going to fall to my death here today?
At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the edge of the cliff and grabbed his wrist steadily.
It's Uncle Joel, it's nice to have a reliable teammate!
With the power of this pull, Nan Xiao grabbed the edge of the cliff and quickly climbed up. It's finally safe! He let out a long breath and lay down on the snow, feeling more relaxed than he had ever felt before.
Joel sat next to him, a terrible wound on his face. He stretched out his hand, motioned for Nan Xiao to get up, and said, "Quick, Martinez is going to run!" ”
The train was blown up, and the old pirate was also greatly damaged. He played well with his wishful thinking, trying to blow up the second half of the train and get rid of Nan Xiao and Joel cleanly. Unfortunately, the train was sturdier than he had imagined. Or rather, in a hurry, not enough explosives were placed. Anyway, the connection didn't blow up. The car in the back tumbled and derailed, and the car in front also overturned.
The situation was so miserable that the front of the car crashed into a cliff and turned into a twisted pile of scrap metal. The carriages were crooked, the goods were all over the hillside, and of course there were many dead people.
By the time they chased after him, Martinez had run so far that he couldn't see anyone. This old pirate is very cunning, knowing that he has suffered heavy losses, and he will never stay and fight to the death with Nan Xiao and Joel, which is extremely slippery.
Nan Xiao only found some seriously wounded. It's either a broken leg or a broken spine or something, and he can't move while lying in the snow.
Anyway, these people are also dead, and a shot in the forehead is the greatest mercy for them.
Joel looked worried: "Martinez ran away, what should I do?" ”
Nan Xiao wasn't so worried. "He couldn't run away. The traces on the snow were so obvious that they still walked on snowmobiles, and they couldn't see clearly. ”
There are long traces left on the snow, so obvious that it is impossible to escape Mao Yuyu's tracking.
The hateful thing is that Martinez is so treacherous that not a single sleigh is left. If you can't drive away, you will stuff a grenade and blow it up.
Nan Xiao and Joel had no choice but to rely on two legs.
Trekking all the way, lying in the wind and snow. Two days later, they arrived at an unnamed indigenous village that was not marked on the map.
It used to be a lively place, with at least hundreds of people living here. From time to time, you can see some fine stone carved Buddha statues on the roadside, wrapped in colorful silk scarves. It is the multicolored hata, which is dedicated to the bodhisattva and is the most precious gift. According to Buddhist teachings, the multicolored hata is the garment of the bodhisattva. ”
Those silk scarves are beautiful, but unfortunately they are dirty. The Buddha statue was not taken care of, and the weeds around it grew wildly.
The houses here are sturdy, made of solid stone, and the window openings are very small. The road into the village winds and turns, and these ugly stone houses are scattered along the road.
At the entrance of the village there was a rudimentary sentry tower, nailed with iron sheets and wooden planks, half of which had collapsed. A dead zombie was lying next to it, half of its head blown off.
"Military shotguns," Joel said, "must have been done by Martinez." ”
The village has been destroyed. Along the way, they saw many corpses.
There are zombies, and there are normal people, who are slaughtered indiscriminately.
They wear the traditional robes of the local people and are supposed to be the natives of the village. They resisted, but the weapons were too rudimentary. Flint fiery breech shotguns, pig iron pike darts, blunt machetes, with these weapons more than a hundred years ago, these people must not be able to beat.
They took out some of Martinez's men, but the cost was too great compared to their own casualties.
Why did Martinez slaughter the village? Does this have anything to do with Shangri-La?
