Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 37 Death Valley 2
"You see, there's still one here." Hearing Li Tong's shout, we hurried over. Not far from the cliff face, there were six corpses lying on the ground, all of them adults in size, dressed in the same clothes as the one just now, and even the death was exactly the same, and they were also frightened by something.
I paused, relieved my nerves, and said, "There's something wrong with this place, so be careful." If it doesn't work, we'll reroute. ”
The snow is still falling densely, and I really don't know when it will be a head. It was covered in snow and surrounded by cliffs, and the sound of the wind mixed with the wind and snow was like a ghost hovering around. The breath exhaled from his mouth instantly turned into a puff of white smoke. Do we continue on this path, or do we divert course? But is it too late to divert now?
Coldness, fear and confusion have become a true portrayal of our hearts at this moment.
"Everyone must be calm, let's move on." Brother Li saw that everyone's morale was depressed and encouraged. Indeed, Brother Li's words are like a shot in the arm, and now we have no way out. Returning would have wasted more time, so we had to continue along the valley to the top.
The snow in front was getting thicker and thicker, but there were also more and more corpses in front, frozen cattle and sheep everywhere, and of course the corpses of some people. And the further you go inside, the larger the corpse becomes, and there are some animals that can't be named. Although it was covered in snow, the scene of the accumulation of corpses was still there. This is simply a hellish existence.
"What the hell killed the carcasses of these animals and people?" Cannon asked as he walked, asking several times with a look on his face. And we were hoping for answers, but none of us knew the answers.
Continuing along the valley, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the howling cold wind can blow people away at any moment. The ghost-crying wolf-like voice was even sharper. If it weren't snowing, I would really think I was walking in the underworld.
Compared with the desert, the speed of walking in the snow is quite slow, not only because of the physical strength of the legs, but also because of the fear of stepping on the air and falling into the snow pit, so that we have walked less than 20 kilometers in a day. That's a lot slower than the expected speed of 30 kilometers per day.
As he walked, the cannon complained impatiently: "When will it be a head when you walk like this?" Brother Li smiled and said, "Cannon, don't you usually blow how powerful you are?" Why are you impatient at this time? ”
As soon as the cannon wanted to say something, he whispered: "I, I didn't complain about anything, I just wanted to relieve everyone's fatigue and make some noise." "The forcible explanation of this goods seems to make sense. On the way, Li Tong never said a word, maybe she had something on her mind, but she didn't want to say it, and I didn't take the initiative to ask.
The wind was still raging relentlessly in the valley, and we had to grit our teeth and persevere. In this way, I walked in the knee-high snow, and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step. It took about three hours for us to finally reach the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, there is a world of snow everywhere, it is simply a world of ice and snow, only the valley far away in the sky still has a trace of green, and that is the way we came.
Before you know it, the sky is getting darker. But all around us was the snow on the mountain and the biting cold wind, and it was clear that camping on the top of the mountain was certainly not practical. The only priority is to relax at the top of the mountain, and then find a place to shelter from the wind.
It was also impractical to descend the nearest mountain, and we chose a circuitous way down the mountain, which was much safer. Compared to the road up the mountain, it takes a lot less effort to go down. But because we were worried about stepping on the air, we still walked cautiously. After all, it is still frightening to walk before the unfamiliar terrain and the situation of snow and ice cover. Fortunately, when we were in Yecheng County, we prepared some crutches for climbing the mountain, which can not only save strength, but also serve as a support point for descending the mountain.
Not only that, but we also need to take more care of the camels when going down the mountain, because these animals may not have walked this kind of mountain road, and we are worried that it will be difficult for them to adapt. But unexpectedly, they were able to cleverly find a way to go, which reassured us a lot.
Suddenly, I only heard a chemical sound, and I saw Brother Li rolling down the mountain on his back. The sudden accident made us at a loss, and when we saw that Brother Li was about to slide to the cliff, fortunately he grabbed a big rock in front of him in time.
"Brother Li, how are you?" I asked anxiously, after all, we have been together for so long, what happened to him, we will definitely be uncomfortable. In less than a word, I and I had already run to Brother Li and helped him up from the ground. Brother Li shook the snow on his body and said with a smile, "I can't die." ”
But just as Brother Li was heading for the front, his feet suddenly softened. I subconsciously held him up, it should be Brother Li's leg injury. The cannon and I helped Brother Li to a flat ground, Brother Li's trouser leg had been worn out by something like a stone, and the cannon pulled up Brother Li's trouser leg, only to see that the calf was dripping with blood, and there were about a dozen scratches, and several wounds were more than eight centimeters long. In this cold environment, it is easy to worsen if the injury is not treated in time. And at this time, cold sweat broke out on Brother Li's already painful face.
Simply cleaned up the blood stains on the wound for Brother Li. At this time, Li Tong had already taken out the medicine for bruising from his backpack. I put Brother Li's leg on the cannon's leg and said, "Brother, you are a little bit more ninja." Brother Li nodded with a smile and said, "Brother, hurry up and put it on me." Don't delay everyone from camping in the evening. ”
Brother Li warmed my heart, and Li Tong turned his head to other places. Rubbing the medicine on my hand and rubbing it, I smiled and said, "Soon." After speaking, I applied the medicine to Brother Li's wound. Maybe it was because the medicine was in the wound, and it was already very painful, Brother Li's teeth kept making a gurgling sound.
This scene made us very distressed, and to be honest, I would rather be hurt. Brother Li forcibly squeezed out some smiles and said weakly, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I can do it," After saying that, Brother Li struggled to get up from the ground, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Brother Li grabbed me hard with both hands and said solemnly, "Xiao Ling, believe me, it's okay." Since Brother Li said this, I had to slowly let go of my hands, but at the same time I was afraid that he would fall again.
I stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Li, you must be careful, you are our guide, without you, we may not be able to reach the Western Night King City." Brother Li slowly turned his head and squeezed out a smile for me, and then walked towards the camel step by step.
I instructed the cannon and Li Tong to take care of Brother Li a little more on the road, and try not to let him go too far. After these instructions, I drove the camel ahead and explored the way.
