Chapter 226: Frozen Rock Veins
At the beginning of the term, I just felt cold, but now when I heard Wang Chuyi say this, I suddenly reacted, it seems to be unusually cold here! If it is said that on the outside of the mountain, the cold wind is biting and the temperature drops sharply, I can understand it, but now we are in the position of the inner side of the mountain, and there are closed spaces on all sides, even if there is a wind blowing in, it is a very small wind, so that the temperature will not be so low?
Wang Chuyi turned on the flashlight to illuminate this huge leyline space, only to see that the cliffs that could be touched by the flashlight rays formed a unique halo, and the light illuminated a large area through continuous refraction, and then the light of the flashlight looked over, only to feel a sense of dazzle, and looked at it, it turned out that the rock wall of this huge underground vein space was all covered with a layer of ice!
I walked to the bottom of the rock wall, touched it with my hand, and then shone it in with a flashlight, and found that the ice covering the rock wall was at least three meters thick, and it seemed that the age was very old, the outside of the mountain here was covered with snow all year round, and the temperature outside was kept at a low temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees all year round.
I picked up the tactical pickaxe and knocked the ice twice, and found that only one white spot was left on the outside of the ice, judging by the hardness of the ice here, this is by no means ordinary ice, as if the water is mixed with other substances, to the point that this ice layer is unusually hard and does not melt all year round.
At this moment, Wang Chuyi suddenly shouted, "Bai Yu, come and see, there are people here!" I hurriedly ran over, and looked at the location of Wang Chu's flashlight, only to see a layer of people densely lined up on the cliff! Corpses frozen in ice, to be exact!
The reason why they are said to be a layer is because these corpses are arranged from top to bottom, dozens of meters high rock wall ice is full of corpses, spread a whole layer, roughly counting, there are hundreds of people, there are men and women, all dressed in ancient costumes, and different shapes, there are everything, at first glance, it seems to be a lively bazaar.
Looking around the entire vein space with a flashlight, opposite the ice with corpses, there is also a huge ice vein, which stretches for dozens of meters and is full of livestock, cattle, sheep, and thousands of heads.
At this time, Wang Chu raised his flashlight and shone towards the top of the rock vein, and found that in the ice at the top of the rock vein, there were still many different kinds of birds frozen, and there were more than a dozen kinds of birds that I had never even seen, and I couldn't name them at all.
The entire underground vein is like a frozen world, as if a whole social system is directly frozen here, which looks very spectacular.
Wang Chuyi shuddered and said, "Oh my God, what's going on here!" Why are so many bodies locked in ice? ”
I looked at the scene around me and shook my head, what happened in ancient times is now impossible to study, but just from entering the ancient tomb to the present, all kinds of signs found show that this ancient tomb used a large number of people to be martyred, if it is not the tomb of the Yin Shang period, it must be a rather legendary dynasty, and it is even very likely to be a disappeared civilization, a country that has not been recorded in history.
Wang Chuyi took off the backpack, took out a tactical pickaxe from the backpack, and walked towards the ice that was freezing cattle and sheep and other livestock, and asked as he walked, "Bai Yu, you said that the cattle and sheep that have been frozen in this ice for so long, if we dig them out, can we eat them?" ”
When she asked this, my stomach began to growl uncontrollably, and a feeling of hunger came to me, and I looked at the livestock frozen in the ice, not to mention whether it could be eaten after freezing for so long, first of all, this ice is too strong, if it weren't for the low temperature of this ice, I would have thought it was a layer of crystal rock.
Wang Chuyi smashed more than a dozen times with a tactical pickaxe, but there was still only one white spot on the ice, and it seemed that as I speculated, this ice layer could not be smashed at all.
At this time, Wang Chuyi took out a flare gun, walked a few steps away, and hit a gap under the ice, and the magnesium burned at high temperatures emitted a pungent smell, and lit up directly under the gap in the ice.
The high temperature generated by the flare melted the ice in an instant, and as the flare slowly extinguished, Wang Chuyi and I both leaned over, squatted down to take a closer look, but found that the ice was only melted by two or three centimeters, and the livestock in the ice were still a long way away.
Later, we tried many more methods, but to no avail, and after tossing and turning for a long time, we were finally able to melt the ice with a torch and catch a bowl of water.
Since all our food supplies were lost by the ghost mouse Lao Jiu, and now we are hungry and thirsty, since we can't eat, we can at least drink some water to replenish our strength.
After Wang Chuyi heated the water, she took a sip of the bowl, and as soon as the water entered her mouth, she squirted it out directly, and then frowned and said, "This water is astringent, bitter, and a little salty, so you can't drink it at all!" So saying, he threw water on the ground.
I saw that the water in this bowl had just been splashed on the ground, and it immediately froze again, and the speed was incomprehensible.
Wang Chuyi took out the tent from his backpack, then made a fire with solid alcohol, and said while roasting the fire, "Let's take a rest here to minimize physical exertion, and after we wake up, let's find a way out." ”
As soon as Wang Chuyi said this, I felt exhausted, from entering the tomb to the present, my spirit has been in a state of high tension, Wang Chuyi said that rest, I immediately couldn't hold on, I put down my backpack and wanted to take out my tent.
At this moment, Wang Chuyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You want to set up another tent?" ”
I glanced back at her, nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Chu looked at me, sighed and said, "If that's the case, we won't have to sleep, we will freeze to death!" "I came back to my senses, Wang Chuyi said that it makes sense, after the human body enters dormancy, some of the body's functions will stop cloud-like, and in a low temperature state, people will be frozen to death unconsciously, when I was in the army, I learned some skills for survival in the wild, and I know that in this state of severe cold and low temperature, if there is no good warm equipment, there is only one way to make people sleep without being frozen to death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up at Wang Chuyi, and I was a little embarrassed.
But Wang Chuyi looked indifferent, and said, "Now our conditions are limited, only sleeping bags and clothes on our bodies, in order to live, I don't care so much." With that, he took his sleeping bag out of his bag.
