Chapter 231: A system of its own
"Do you feel that the sunshine is particularly good every day on this snowy mountain?" Xu Yang hadn't seen the sun for about three days, and when he walked out of the cellar and saw the sunlight outside, he felt like he was in a different world.
"Well, the sun is good every day on the mountains here." Adler didn't feel anything about the sun, he just felt that it would get hot after walking for a while, and it would be cold when he took off his clothes, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.
Xu Yang looked at the snow in the distance, it was shining in the sun, he was not a sentimental person, but at this time, he really liked to see this kind of white color all over the world, and it also exuded white light, which looked very comfortable.
Adler took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his eyes: "Don't look at it for too long, it's easy to spoil your eyes." ”
"Okay." Xu Yang responded, although he regretted that he couldn't always feel that kind of shiny, but his eyes were more important.
Their main journey today was through a somewhat canyon-like place on the snowy mountain, and they would have covered most of the distance as long as they had passed through that place, and only by completing that part of the road would they be able to reach the next stop.
"Be careful, there's something unusual in this canyon." Adler stepped into it vigilantly.
Xu Yang frowned: "Unusual? What's unusual? "There can't be any big wild predators, like tigers or something.
"According to the description of the men I sent to explore the path before, there is a very strange-looking beast here, some like tigers but not, larger than tigers, with no hair on their bodies, no canine teeth of carnivores, but they are highly poisonous, and it is best not to encounter them." Adler glanced at the photographs they had sent back, and the creature probably seemed to him to be a new species that had yet to be discovered.
It's just that it's possible that he's lonely, and he's not interested in these things anyway, so he's just focused on studying how to deal with this kind of thing, and hasn't thought about investigating what it is.
"Wait a minute." Xu Yang stopped suddenly.
Adler turned to look at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
"Is that what you're talking about?" Xu Yang's eyes gestured to a creature that was looking at them in front of them, its whole body was snow-white, almost melted with the snow, if it weren't for the fact that he saw its tail moving, and its black eyes, he would almost not have noticed it.
"......" Adler didn't know whether to lament their luck or not, as soon as he entered this canyon, he encountered this kind of animal that was judged to be full of dangers, he grabbed Xu Yang's wrist: "Don't panic, let's go slowly, the information sent back says that this kind of thing generally does not attack people, even if it attacks us for a while, I have a way." ”
"What's the solution? Kneel down and beg for mercy? Xu Yang teased, he was really a little flustered, a little unable to control himself, and almost didn't choose to speak.
Adler held his hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let it hurt you." ”
Xu Yang didn't know what hole cards Adler had, so he felt a little afraid, mainly because the size of the creature was too big, it could be the size of most of an elephant, and the sense of oppression came to his face.
Adler walked in front and took his hand and walked forward step by step, their eyes never left the creature, and the creature also looked at them quietly, its eyes followed them, there was no intention of going up to attack, there was no intention of turning around, it was motionless, like a stone sculpture.
Xu Yang walked for a while, and when it was closest to it, it was only less than two meters away, and it still didn't react at all, and when the distance slowly narrowed, he felt that he might be safer, and then asked Adler softly: "Do you say that it is also afraid of us?" It's a bit like a kind of bird that will stay motionless and pretend to be dead when it sees someone frightened. ”
Xu Yang didn't say that Adler hadn't found out yet, as soon as he said this, he reacted instantly: "Yes, I really think it's like that when you say that, the news they sent back last time also said that they were startled when they saw this animal, and they didn't hold back for a while and shot it, and then not only did they not hit them, but they were hit by the animals that fled in panic, and in an instant, that piece of clothing was corroded, just like being infected with sulfuric acid." ”
"It's a cute creature to put it mildly." Xu Yang suddenly felt that it didn't look so scary, and it felt a little cute.
Adler was noncommittal, and led him slowly out of the animal's sight, and the two of them instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "This should mean that it is safe, I was really afraid that it would rush up just now." Xu Yang patted his chest, feeling that his heart was almost jumping out.
"Don't let your guard down, there is still a long road ahead and many unknown dangers." Xu Yang can put his mind at ease, but he can't.
"Well, I know, it's not a primeval forest, but almost no one has ever walked here." Xu Yang felt that it was very likely that no one had set foot in this area before Adler's people walked here.
"Almost, anyway, when my people came over, they didn't find any trace of anyone here." Adler didn't know what was going on here, but judging from the way they had traveled in the past few days, it really didn't look like someone had been here.
There is always a reason why it is inaccessible, if it is not because the road is too steep or because there are beasts or poisons obstructing it, then it is very likely that there are beasts on this side, after all, the road on this side is not difficult.
When they really went deep into this canyon, Xu Yang was really shocked, it was like another world, when they gradually went deeper inside, the snow on the ground was getting thinner and thinner, and there was no snow in their position now, and there was even a shallow layer of weeds on the ground. There are even a few towering ancient trees in front of them, and their dark green leaves obscure the sky and the sun, and it is almost impossible to see the sunlight outside.
Xu Yang felt ominous for the first time: "I have a strong sense of crisis. ”
"Me too." Adler nodded.
If there are big trees, then there must be birds, and if there are birds, there will be bird-eating animals, and this must be a small ecosystem of its own, otherwise there would not be these two lush towering trees.
"Maybe the rainforests in the south are safer than here." Xu Yang didn't know what expression to use to look at Adler.
Adler smiled: "Don't you think this unknown adventure is interesting?" ”
"I don't think so." Xu Yang decisively vetoed: "I still think it's better to be stable." "He's never liked to take risks.
"It's all here, let's go." Although Adler was still very uneasy in his heart, he couldn't show it, he couldn't make Xu Yang even more afraid, anyway, some of his subordinates had already managed to get through here, and he didn't believe that they were extremely unlucky, and they couldn't even get through here.
Xu Yang followed him and stepped on the thick fallen leaves, feeling that there was mud underneath.
"Hiss......" Xu Yang suddenly heard some strange voices: "Did you hear any sounds?" He asked Adler softly.
"I heard, the serpent spitting letters." Adler has already judged what it is.
They glanced at each other and looked up at the same time: "......, how can such a big snake appear in such a place?" It's simply against scientific logic.
Above them hovered over a large tree a large snake the size of a Burmese python, all black, coiled on brown branches, spitting dangerously scarlet letters at them.
It is also possible that they underestimated its size, after all, it was black and thin, and it was thanks to this big snake that it was still far away from them, otherwise Xu Yang would have fainted with fright.
"If a scientist walks in here, they're going to be shocked." Xu Yang sighed, although he felt that the big snake was a bit dangerous, but his size should not be able to eat the two of them.
Adler agrees: "There may be surprises ahead. "It's unbelievable to see such a large snake on such a high mountain.
Xu Yang smiled bitterly: "I don't want this kind of surprise at all. ”
Si Yu and Gu Xifeng walked to Adler's second supply point under the leadership of Ding Xun, the man under Qiao Xian, and this time, Si Yu also began to sigh about the person who designed this site.
"Who set this up? Very careful. Si Yu asked Ding Xun.
"This was arranged by Boss Qiao, and he said that it should be arranged regardless of whether the boss can use it or not, in case the boss needs it one day, he will not be in a hurry." Ding Xun said lightly.
"Heh, he really got it right." Si Yu smiled a little sarcastically: "How long is it to go to the place where you meet your boss in a foreign country?" ”
"There's another stop, and after that, it's half a day's walk to that gray area." As long as Adler gets there, he can get a rest, and no one will dare to disturb him in there, even if Lou Xinglan is a person who has a good background or his own interpersonal relationships, he can't do it.
Gu Xifeng sighed when he heard this: "I have a bad premonition after seeing the scene here, they may have reached that gray area." ”
"How?" Si Yu asked.
"You see that everything here is neatly arranged, and there are no traces of clutter, which means that the two of them are in good spirits, and it is too easy to walk over." Gu Xifeng judged so.
Ding Xun opened his mouth and wanted to say that the next road was not so easy, but when he thought that they were enemies in the first place, why should he remind them, so he resolutely closed his mouth.
"Hey, what's on the road next, is it dangerous?" Si Yu asked, he felt that he still had to sort out the next road before he could set off.
"The road after that is the same as we are today." Ding Xun said lightly.
I don't know if it's Si Yu's long-term instinct or what, he always feels that Ding Xun is hiding something, this person can't lead them to death, right? Fight like Kilkenny cats? If you encounter some extreme organizations, this possibility is not impossible.
"Let's make something to eat first." Gu Xifeng looked at the food prepared here, he had no appetite after eating the dry food for a day, so he wanted to eat some hot rice.
"Well, I'll help you." Si Yu and Gu Xifeng are about the same, and they no longer have any interest in dry food.
