Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 28 Xin: The Heart of Night Cry (4)
With my gear on my back, I avoided the eyes of the tourists and went straight to the entrance to the deep mountain.
I didn't want to see Zhao Huasheng at the entrance, at this time he had completely changed, no longer wearing that Miao suit, but changed into professional outdoor equipment, it seems that he has been waiting for me here for a long time.
I was somewhat surprised, he seemed to like to spy on my whereabouts, and this feeling of being known to others was very bad!
It was hard for me not to wonder if he had a conspiracy, so I asked, "Why are you here?" Looks like you're going to go into the mountains too? ”
Zhao Huasheng spread his hands very casually, turned his body back and forth, made a posture of "look at my body", and said, "What! Can't you see it? ”
Of course I knew he meant to go into the mountains with me, but what was his purpose? I believe that it can't be as simple as simply trying to find Wang Qiming, and I believe more and more that the purpose of his trip is to come for Nuwa Stone.
I don't know if it's really as I suspected before, it's a tomb robber, and it's probably a cover up for some kind of bullshit private detective.
After all, tomb robbing has never been seen in the industry, and it needs a fake identity to cover it.
But this is only my suspicion, I don't want to lift his veil before there is conclusive evidence, so I said, "I can't control the feet on you, but I say ugly things ahead, if you encounter any danger in this tiger and wolf dangerous land, it will be a catastrophe and fly separately, don't expect me to save you!" ”
I didn't want Zhao Huasheng to show that he didn't care, as if he could handle it, and said, "Let's go!" In a few hours, I'm afraid it's going to be dark. ”
We went all the way into the mountains, and the mountains in Guizhou are mainly karst landforms, so the mountains here are not like the deep mountains and old forests that I have experienced before.
The soil here is only a thin layer, the trees are not high, and most of them have not covered my calves, so I saved a lot of trouble when I marched with Zhao Huasheng.
During my journey, I noticed that some of the rocks had artificially carved icons, and I immediately recognized them as the ghost's own creation.
In the past, if we acted separately, in order to dock well, we used the internationally used "bird catcher" coordinate map, then it would be understood by others.
So in the two months that the ghost trained me and the fat devil, he created a coordinate map that only the three of us could understand.
I followed the map left by the ghost all the way, the mountain road in front of me was quite easy to walk, but after we marched for 3 hours, the topography began to change, and some strange-shaped stalagmites began to appear one after another, these stalagmites grew strange and beautiful, almost one person high, the distance of the stalagmites was relatively far, a pile in the east and a fall in the west.
Zhao Huasheng proposed to rest for a while before marching, after all, although I followed the coordinate map left by the ghost all the way in the past three times, I found nothing after all, and I didn't even see the shadow of the ghost.
I don't know how long this clueless tracking will last, and I have to maintain sufficient physical strength.
During the break, in addition to eating some dry food and drinking some water, I also sent a flare to the ghost, which we had agreed beforehand.
If the signal flare of cold white light is to tell the other party the location, I am worried that the ghost will find the fat man and waste some more time when he returns to the village, so I hit a position signal flare.
However, half an hour after the flare was fired, there was still no response.
Just as I was about to shoot again, I saw Zhao Huasheng squatting aside, as if he was studying something very seriously.
It seemed that something had been discovered, so I went up to inspect it, and saw a small pile of charcoal that had been burnt into charcoal, and that had already been processed.
It seems that someone should have camped and rested here before, and looking at these handling methods, it is not like ordinary people.
As the ghost said before, people who have been specially trained know some tracking methods, so naturally these people will not leave any clues about their own clues.
Zhao Huasheng plucked the charcoal a little and said, "Looking at the disposal of these fire wreckage, it should be left by professionally trained people, who should have served in the army, but I can't tell what kind of army it is." ”
He is really unusual, just a little glance, and then a sniff with his nose, it can be seen that it is the tactics of the troops, such an ability must have exceeded the ability of a private detective!
"Wu Nian! Let's look around to see if we can find any other useful clues. When I heard this, I said in my heart, "Isn't this Zhao Huasheng's business ability as strong as I imagined, he has actually been handled professionally, how can he still leave any clues." ”
And just when I was about to say that I didn't need to look for this kind of thing, I was suddenly shocked, and I couldn't help but praise Zhao Huasheng for not being ordinarily thoughtful and quick-witted, although dealing with the wreckage of the fire
Yes, but it is still obvious that people can see at a glance, indicating that the handling is not professional enough, which is a possibility, that is, the other party is in an urgent situation, and the situation is sudden.
That would inevitably accidentally leave some important information, and Zhao Huasheng proposed to look around, indicating that he also thought of this.
Suddenly, I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to meet such a hidden master.
However, at the moment, I have no intention of speculating on this, because as Zhao Huasheng said, these fire wreckage is obviously a method of disposal for soldiers who have served in the army.
So it's very likely that it's a ghost, but if it's really him, then what happened to them? I'll have to figure it out right away.
After we searched around, sure enough, there were clues, and I found some bullet casings.
When I saw these bullet shells, my heart sank, because just two or three days ago, I had seen this kind of bullet in Zhenfeng's double *breast* peak.
If I didn't look away, these shells must have been shot out of a type of pistol called the Mk23 Battleshape*.
And the user of this pistol, who had attacked us once at the Double Breast* Peak Hotel, could not help but think of the mysterious team that was secretly following us and wanted to kill us.
That means the ghost should have met with them, and I don't know what the situation is with him and Blackboy now?
As these thoughts swirled in my head, I smelled a faint sense of bad things and information in addition to worrying about ghosts.
I'm afraid that behind Nuwa Stone's identity is not just immortality and Yanyu identity, otherwise it wouldn't have made things so complicated.
From my side to Lao Jin, there are Deng Gang and the current mysterious mercenaries, as well as Zhao Huasheng, none of these people who came to find Nuwa Stone were for money, as the saying goes, no profit is not early, so there must be other plans if it is not for money.
At this moment, Zhao Huasheng seemed to have made a more important discovery, only to hear him shout, "Wu Nian, look at that!" ”
When I heard the sound, I looked up and saw a large patch of foggy smoke in front of him, and a warm red fire faintly flew out of the smoke, which was a signal flare.
The light of the flare was engulfed in the fog and was dying, with only a faint dim light making a bottom-up arc in the fog.
Depend on! Fuck it! It's actually a red flare.
My previous agreement with the ghost was that the white flare was meant to tell the other party where to assemble, and the red flare was to tell the other party "Danger!" Don't come close, stay where you are. ”
At this moment, a red flare was projected from the fog layer ahead, indicating that the ghosts were ahead and in danger.
Suddenly, I looked at the flares that were gradually engulfed in mist, as if to suggest that the ghosts were gradually reclaiming their lives by death.
"I'm grass! Damn I didn't see Huang Li when I went out today! With a curse in my heart, I picked up my equipment, pulled the safety bolt of the submachine pistol, and was about to rush into the fog nearly a thousand meters in front of me.
Zhao Huasheng immediately grabbed me, he knew about my agreement with the ghost.
"Wu Nian! Don't be impulsive, you see the fog is so big there, and it's about to get dark, not to mention that your friend's flare is to remind you not to go in, you may not be able to save them this time, and you may even put yourself in it. ”
At this moment, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't persuade me, let alone a Zhao Huasheng of unknown origin.
I shook him off and said angrily, "If you're afraid of death, you shouldn't go into the mountains and hide aside." ”
Before the words fell, I had already spread my steps and ran towards the ever-increasing layer of fog in front of me, and Zhao Huasheng had no choice but to follow all the way.
I didn't look back at him, but his footsteps were clearly audible.
I have long heard that Guizhou has a diverse climate due to the influence of atmospheric circulation and topography.
Known as "a mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days" saying, sometimes driving on the highway, originally still have a clear vision, and then a turn in front of the eyes of fragmentary fog, and then a turn may be foggy, visibility directly down to less than 50 meters, or even less than 10 meters.
I did answer that sentence when I came running over just now.
Originally, it was still an ethereal scattered fog, and the road ahead was still clearly recognizable, but before I knew it, it was suddenly like being thrown into the steam room, and all of a sudden there was nothing but fog in front of me, and the visibility instantly dropped to less than fifty meters.
I slowed down and trotted forward, but by this time it was getting dark, and the fog increased, and as I advanced, my line of sight dropped from thirty to twenty meters.
"Wu Nian! Where are you? At this time, Zhao Huasheng's voice came from behind me, and I looked back and saw a confused figure in the fog, and there seemed to be a figure moving slowly, and I couldn't judge the distance
Leave.
"This!" I replied and walked towards him, but after taking two steps, suddenly there was nothing in front of me, only the fog was filled, and even it was so exaggerated that when I raised my hand, I could only see a confused black shadow, and only when I looked closer, I could see that it was my own hand.
I waved my hand, trying to fan the fog away, but it was obviously whimsical, and I could only see the fog being swirled out by the waving hand.
Everything else remains the same, the line of sight is less than half a meter, this feeling seems to be in a dream, if it is not for the smell of gas, only the humid vapor of water, I can hardly believe that it is fog that surrounds me, such an exaggerated fog has never been seen.
At this time, I heard Zhao Huasheng call me again, and I felt that it was nearby, but I couldn't walk no matter how he walked through the fucking evil door.
Now we are completely lost, it is possible that we are spinning in place, and we still think we are walking in a straight line, what is the difference between this and a ghost hitting the wall? Realizing this, I immediately turned on the flashlight and shouted to Zhao Huasheng, "Turn on the flashlight!" ”
But I never expected that this fog was unimaginably big, I couldn't see any light at all, and even when I raised it with my hand, the flashlight couldn't completely illuminate my hand, not to mention that Zhao Huasheng might still be dozens of meters away from me.
I cursed and shouted again, "Don't look for it, we're afraid we won't find each other even if we die, use a compass!" ”
Since the flare that the ghost has just fired is located in the direction of our north, we can only follow the compass, find the general direction, and then take one step at a time.
I didn't care that Zhao Huasheng didn't understand what I meant, so I took out the compass by myself, got it to the position that was almost attached to my face, and looked at it, but just a glance, I knew that the compass couldn't be counted on, and I saw that the magnetic needle was like crazy, and it was completely directionless.
At this time, I heard Zhao Huasheng shouting, "No! There is a lot of magnetic interference here. ”
"Listen to me! Follow my voice! "I've changed my fingerless compass and wanted to borrow a needleless compass to open the way!
It's a pity that the needleless compass also followed the magic, and the trend of mercury was completely undisciplined, and I couldn't distinguish the direction, and suddenly an inexplicable fear began to surround me layer by layer like this strange fog.
And I finally understood why the ghost didn't let me get closer, it was like a maze of fog, people had to go in and out, but I still didn't panic after all the experience.
But he immediately had an idea, took out a bundle of climbing ropes from his back, tied the rope into a ball, and then roughly identified the direction, and said that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, as long as you don't take a detour, and don't spin, you can always get out of this demonic fog.
The direction is certain, I use even force to throw the rope ball in my hand, and the other hand holds the end of the line, there is no wind here, as long as the force is used evenly, the rope ball must be able to hit a straight line, and I feel the line to go.
As I moved forward, I shouted to Zhao Huasheng, "Go!" I shouted almost every three steps, and Zhao Huasheng also started with "Follow!" Such a voice responded to me.
It's like sound wave positioning, through his response and my cry, I can listen to his position at any time to adjust his position.
In this direction, we quickly walked the dozens of meters of climbing rope, and I also retracted the rope and played ball as I walked.
Then he threw the rope ball in the same direction, and at the same time he was afraid that Zhao Huasheng would go in the wrong direction, so he screamed again! "Let's go!"
"Follow!" Zhao Huasheng's voice still came from the same direction behind him.
At this time, I was relieved to rein in the rope and move forward, but at this moment, suddenly I felt as if there was a force pulling the rope at the end of the rope.
Suddenly, the rope was straightened, and although I didn't know what the other end of the rope was, a sense of foreboding came over me.
Just when I was still hesitant to go down the vine and touch the melon to see what was going on, suddenly! The end of the climbing rope was pulled with great force, and I grabbed it tightly, and I was immediately pulled to the ground by it.
As soon as my heart sank, the other party dragged me like a kitten and a puppy, and although I couldn't see him, I could hear the sound of running on the ground.
I wanted to pull hard at the unknown force on the other end of the rope, but I didn't want it to be more powerful than I expected, and I couldn't match it at all.
In just a few seconds, I was dragged out dozens of meters away, to see that this decision was not artificial, how could people have such a fast speed, I knew that if I continued like this, I would have to be dragged alive, so I immediately abandoned the rope to save my life.
As soon as the rope was released, I rolled onto a soft object due to an inertia.
Slowed down, scolded his mother, and was about to get up, when I didn't want to turn my head and see a hideous face facing me, it was a dead man's face.
