Chapter Ninety-Eight: Don't Give Up
The wind and snow outside finally subsided, and Xu Xuening, Xie Yan and the others looked at the original team, which was already ready to go.
"Well, you're still going to run inside?" Chen Sheng looked at these people, they didn't even have enough dry food, and they had to run into the deep mountains, what a treasure they were digging for?
The mountains, there are treasures, this is known to all.
Even if it is not the end of the world, there must be many treasures hidden in the mountains, especially the densely vegetated mountains. If I used to go to the mountains to dig up those treasures, I would have been lucky enough, let alone now.
Chen Sheng looked at the mountain forest outside, the heavy snow overnight was almost a person high, such a big snow, it was really the only time he had seen it in his life. In the face of such heavy snow, if you walk, you may really have no way out, but these people still walk there as if they are not afraid of death.
"Hmm. We have to get over. "Becoming the new team leader is the person who talked to Xie Yan before, according to him, he was a retired soldier before, after leaving the army, he likes to travel the world of mountains and rivers, this time he came to Huacheng to visit his old comrades, just met a zombie attack, and when he wanted to go back to his hometown, he found that everything had changed. Duan Changsheng stayed in Huacheng and was lucky to survive with his skills.
"I always thought that the people outside might all be dead, but looking at your appearance, I think your Officer Wei is right, as long as the country is here, this disaster will always subside." Duan Changsheng nodded towards Xie Yan and smiled, "Boss Xie, if you enter Huacheng, you can go from the West Gate, although it is a little farther away, but there are few people and few robbers." If the guard at the door has a blackface and a star on the door, you can call me my name. ”
"Thank you." Xie Yan looked at Duan Changsheng and nodded.
"No, if you are in Hwaseong in the future, we may have to look up to you. To make it convenient for you is to make it convenient for ourselves. Duan Changsheng said with a smile, not hiding his intentions at all.
Xie Yan and the others didn't care about this kind of person who understood, and everyone knew Duan Changsheng's intentions.
"Farewell."
"Goodbye."
……
Xu Xuening watched them walk towards the deep mountains, and then looked at Wei Zizhou, "Didn't you say there were treasures there?" Why didn't you go? ”
Originally, they were going in the same direction as the people in that squad. If nothing else, they should have gone together to find the treasure in the mountain.
In this regard, Xu Xuening was surprised that Wei Zizhou actually gave up the idea of treasure hunting so quickly.
Wei Zizhou shook his head, "That thing was no longer there yesterday. ”
"How do you know?" Xu Xuening looked at Wei Zizhou curiously. I don't know how much I believe in his words, and how much I guess.
After Han Xiaoxiao heard this, she also blinked and looked at him, "Brother Wei, do you have any special functions?" ”
Wei Zizhou ignored Han Xiaoxiao and didn't explain, "I can't tell, in short, that feeling of urgency and preciousness has disappeared, and I can only feel that there is danger over there." ”
"So, Duan Changsheng and Jiang Liang will be in danger?" Xu Xuening looked at Wei Zizhou in surprise, "Is it reliable?" ”
Wei Zizhou nodded, "It's hard to say, after all, I didn't go over to take a look, judging by my feelings, half and half." ”
"What then? Do you want to remind them? Xu Xuening was a little worried and looked in the opposite direction to them, where there was a row of footprints in the opposite direction.
"No, I have already told Jiang Liang before, Duan Changsheng and Jiang Liang mean to continue. Listening to their tone, they are determined to find the treasure. Wei Zizhou explained.
"What kind of treasure the hell, they don't even want their lives!" Xu Xuening looked over there in surprise, the snow that was more than one person high had crushed the branches of many big trees, and as far as the eye could see, there was a white mountain forest, and there was almost no green visible. The sky is dark, and the whole world seems to be mixed together, and it is impossible to distinguish each other.
Looking at a high mountain peak in the farthest distance, in the vast white world, an ancient pine is standing proudly on the mountain peak alone. On the cliff of the mountain wall, a multicolored ice ridge is sticking to the mountain wall, and it seems that someone has poured a cup of water on the mountain, and as the cold comes, it just freezes the mountain peak and becomes an ice ridge.
The entire mountain seemed to be covered in a body of ice, shining through the clouds and shimmering in the white snow.
"Is it there?" Xie Yan stood where he was, looking towards the peak.
"Yes, there were treasures there." Wei Zizhou looked at the mountain that had been frozen into an ice skate, he was a little pity, there was still one day left, maybe they would be able to get there earlier.
"If it's as dangerous as you say, maybe they won't be able to get it back this time. We may also have the opportunity to meet next time. Xie Yan glanced at the mountain peak in the distance, turned around without any nostalgia, and saw that the people in the team had already packed their things and were waiting for the boss's instructions.
The team that left before left some crystals for Xie Yan and them, perhaps as a thank you gift for the pot of hot pot water.
……
The thirty-one people who headed for that mountain peak walked through the deep snow with difficulty.
Every step they take, they are faced with a wall of white snow, although the snow seems weightless, but in this unfamiliar deep mountain, every step under their feet may be a cliff, may be a swamp.
Everyone who goes down is terrified.
One step away may be the farewell of heaven and man. Like the unknown life, it is full of fear, with all kinds of uncertainties, and on the high mountain, the treasures that are like the goal of life, like a lighthouse in the dark night to guide people forward.
Who advances in the darkness and who falls in the darkness.
One of the people who struggled to move forward accidentally fell to the ground, and almost rolled off the edge of the cliff with one foot in the air, but fortunately, the branches growing next to him blocked the person's footsteps, and the speed of his fall was slowed down.
"Hurry up and pull me up." The man who stepped on the air reached out to his companion in panic. One of his companions immediately grabbed him. "Be careful, hold me."
With the support of his companions, the man was able to save his life without danger.
Sitting in place in a cold sweat, his legs were weak from being frightened by the thrilling scene he had just had.
"Rest in place." Duan Changsheng looked at the person's face pale, and he simply ordered the team members not to move for the time being.
"Captain Duan, it's not okay to go on like this, the snow is too big." One of them looked at the man sitting there panting for breath and had palpitations. He also almost stepped on the air several times, and picked up his life without danger.
Everyone was in a state of distress after witnessing what had just happened. Everyone has the experience of stepping on the air several times, and it took 120,000 percent of caution to pick up their own life.
Looking at that person, they also thought of themselves, and if they weren't careful, they would probably have experienced the same as that person. There is only one life, and there is no chance that it can be recovered.
They walked at a distance of a mountain from the peak, and if it weren't for the heavy snowfall, people with fast steps might have been able to walk in an hour or two, but now the heavy snow has stopped them, and they have walked less than 50 meters, but they have frequent accidents.
"Changsheng, what should I do?" Several people who had a good relationship with Duan Changsheng also looked into the distance worriedly, if they said to give up, they would definitely not be reconciled. A team of 117 people can get here, and it is not easy for them to have 31 people left. They had managed to get here, and seeing that the target was in front of them, let them give up at the moment, and watch him fly like a boiled duck.
Duan Changsheng has never been the kind of person who gives up easily, and his years of military career will not let him succumb to difficulties so much. Looking at the mountain not far away, he gritted the groove of his back teeth, and thought of the large amount of commission that was about to be at his fingertips, and now, if the remaining thirty-one people could all return safely, they would receive twice as much as they had originally expected.
"Whoever wants to give up, raise your hand here. Of course, the bonus will be forfeited by you. The rest will take your share. Duan Changsheng looked at the people below, and he said firmly towards that goal, "I've already come here, as long as I get it, I can have a good meal and take a hot bath when I go back." I will never give up. ”
Looking at Duan Changsheng's decision, the others glanced at each other, and everyone thought that they had already come here, and they had broken through to the last level, and there was only one last hurdle left, if they gave up at this time, when the time came, they would go back and watch the others take a large amount of money, but they didn't get anything, and after thinking about it, they all gritted their teeth and followed.
It's just that they are pulling each other, and one of them has an accident.
The people who move forward together in a group walk more slowly, but the sense of security in the team has invisibly improved by several notches.
Duan Changsheng led everyone to walk towards the mountain peak step by step, splitting countless thorns, pushing away the flooded snow, and finally, arriving at the ice-like peak.
"It's about ten meters from the top, but it's all ice." One person looks at the thick layer of ice and feels a little strange. Everywhere else, it's snowing heavily, so even if it's hard to walk, it's still manageable to get through. But why is the weather so strange here, it is not the thorns that have been stepped on along the way that cover the snow, but the thick and hard ice.
"Get a tool and smash a few places that are suitable for climbing."
Duan Changsheng looked at the thick layer of ice and thought of a way.
Soon, the small bowl-like pits appeared in front of everyone. The people behind followed the footsteps of the people in front step by step, stepping on the pit and walking towards it step by step.
The mountain was not steep, but because of this thick layer of ice, each of them walked almost diagonally against the mountain wall.
"Ahh Accidentally, a slippery man paddled straight off the ice. The person next to him didn't have time to reach out and grab the other party, so he watched the person fall directly into the cliff.
In the valley, only a scream of the person before his death was heard, constantly echoing in the valley, tormenting people's ears and hearts on one side at a time, and the people who received this great stimulation trembled all over, eager to stick to the mountain wall, for fear that they would fall down with one foot in the air.
Death, once again, is close to them.
