The squad leader noticed something strange in my eyes, and said with a cold face: "Remember our mission, don't be suspicious." Then he took out the map and looked at it and said, "It's not far from the first supply point of the expedition, let's go and have a look!" ”

He naturally ignored the footprints on the ground, ignored the extra "person", and tried to avoid the footprints on the way, but after walking a few kilometers, he still ran into it.

Takakawa's footprints are in the front, and the slightly smaller footprints are in the back, as if it is driving Takakawa.

I couldn't help but shudder at that weird picture in my head.

But what made me even more uneasy was that Gao Chuan and the others were going in the same direction as us, and they were also going to the supply point of the expedition.

No one spoke on the way, but the index finger on the trigger was tight, and as long as there was wind and grass, the bullet rain would immediately pour out.

The squad leader's route is correct, near noon, a cave appeared in front, the entrance of the cave is like an arch, very regular, it belongs to artificial digging, or repaired.

The two rows of footprints disappeared not far from the entrance of the cave, and from the last direction, it is likely that they entered the cave.

There were still more than 20 meters from the entrance of the cave, and the squad leader whispered: "Stop!" Xu Peng, Chen Xiusou on the left, Zhang Hu and Li Chuang on the right! ”

Xu Peng's mental state was not good all the way, and I didn't dare to let him walk behind, for fear that he would be too nervous and the gun in his hand would go off. I asked him to walk in front, and Li Chuang and Li Chuang dispersed left and right at the same time. The squad leader approached the entrance of the cave step by step, walking very carefully and nervously.

It is not difficult to hide the footprints in the snow, but there has been no snow until the second half of the night, and Gao Chuan will leave some traces if he wants to cover it up, and he may not think of covering his footprints now. However, Xu Peng and I looked at all the places around where we could hide, and found nothing.

Li Chuang's result was the same, Gao Chuan and that "person" seemed to have suddenly evaporated here. The squad leader did not enter the hole and stopped seven or eight meters from the entrance of the hole. As we got closer, we saw red and green dots of light flickering in the hole.

"It's the radio!" Zhang Hu recognized it. The squad leader ordered in a deep voice: "Except for Li Chuang, the others collect their guns and put on bayonets." ”

In a small place, if we were to sweep through the ground in an unexpected situation, and the enemy was not killed, the ricochet would kill us all first.

Close the safe, draw the bayonet at your waist, and keep the formation into the cave.

The cave is not large, and in addition to the radio station, there are also a lot of supplies in the corner. Chen Hu walked towards Xiaobayi Radio, squatted down and glanced at it, then looked up and said, "It's still on the band!" ”

My face changed suddenly, "So the sound we heard last night was indeed sent by it?" ”

Zhang Hu didn't answer, but his pale face and panicked expression had already said the answer. After commissioning, he tried to contact the outpost with the radio of the expedition team, but there was no response for a long time.

The squad leader pulled open the canvas on the supplies, kicked them all with his feet, and after making sure that there was no one hidden, he took the bayonet and said, "Camp outside the cave tonight." ”

He suspected that Takakawa and the thing were lurking nearby, afraid that they would be blocked by camping in the cave.

Zhang Hu wanted to bring the radio out, but was stopped by the squad leader and told us not to touch anything inside, and we set up camp on the left side of the cave after we exited.

As soon as it was dark, the radio suddenly sounded the sound of rustling electricity, and after a while, it was mixed with chaotic screams, the squad leader immediately picked up the gun, turned on the flashlight and ran towards the entrance of the cave, I hurriedly followed, but there was nothing in the cave.

The rustling of electricity grew louder and louder, but the screams that mingled with it became clearer and clearer, until at last everyone could hear it, and the clear sound came from the empty cave.

For a while, it seemed that hundreds of people were shouting in panic in front of them, running in all directions. The hairs on my body stood on end, and I stared at the hole for fear that the next moment those people would rush out of it.

But what I imagined didn't happen, and after a few seconds, the sound gradually became quieter and finally disappeared.

When the surroundings quieted down, the timid Xu Peng said lightly: "I just observed that the cave walls are smooth, and the black is red, and the iron content should be very high, which can produce a tape-like effect and record some sounds that have appeared in the past." ”

When Xu Peng talked about this, he seemed to be a different person, and he was excited to enter the cave.

He is not talking nonsense, there is a wall in the Forbidden City, and when it rains, you will see the palace maid passing by, and the principle is similar to what he said.

Just thinking of this, my face changed suddenly, and I hurriedly called him back. Xu Peng looked at me with some puzzlement and said, "Chen Xiu, this is something that science can explain, not a ghost!" ”

Strange sounds can be explained scientifically, but the sound and image recorded in this special environment must be something that has happened before, so what does the sound just now represent?

Xu Peng's face turned pale when he heard this, and he took three steps and made two steps, and retreated behind the squad leader.

The entrance to the cave was guarded for a few minutes without finding anything abnormal, and the squad leader asked us to go back to the tent. "It is possible that the expedition team encountered similar noises and was frightened and hastily evacuated," he said. ”

I was silent and did not speak, there were four specialists in the expedition, it was impossible not to know about the situation, and the accompanying combat squad would not be recruits, and the veterans would throw everything in the event of an emergency, except the radio and the gun in their hands.

The heart is heavy, and at the same time, there is fear.

After nightfall, the squad leader and Li Chuang were on duty at night, I couldn't sleep when I lay in my sleeping bag and tossed and turned, and I fell asleep shallow at almost eleven o'clock, but it didn't take long for a dense gunfire to sound outside.

Xu Peng, Zhang Hu and the three of us were awakened, rushed out with guns, and saw the squad leader and Li Chuang sweeping the cave for a while. We didn't have time to ask anything, so we rushed over and followed the direction of the shot, and a shuttle of bullets was fired.

For a while, the cave was filled with gunsmoke and rubble. After firing the bullets in the magazine, the squad leader raised his hand and shouted to stop. Li Chuang gasped on the side and said, "Two black shadows went in just now!" ”

Two dark shadows, Takagawa and the corpse of that warrior?

The squad leader exhaled the cold air and changed to a magazine, and played a series of tactical sign language, in words, it meant to let me go into the cave with him, Xu Peng and Zhang Hu spread out their wings, guarding both sides of the cave entrance, and Li Chuang cleaned the roof of the cave.

Zhang Dezhu is worthy of being a veteran of the war, and his arrangements are impeccable. After receiving the reply, each acted according to the instructions. On the way, I changed the magazine, closed the safety, and pulled out the bayonet on my waist.

When there were still three or four meters away from the entrance of the cave, the smoke in the cave was almost dispersed, Li Chuang turned on the tactical flashlight, and half-squatted behind us to check the roof of the cave.

I sat shoulder to shoulder with the squad leader, swept around with a flashlight, and the situation inside was clear at a glance, not to mention the human figure, the ghost shadow was not seen, but just now a burst of strafing shot made a big hole in the cave wall, and there was a space behind.

The squad leader and I spread out to avoid facing the hole, and after approaching from the side, I used a flashlight to shine inside at the same time, and he and I gasped for this photo.

Judging from the stones that were knocked down, the cave wall we saw earlier was artificially blocked, and there were many people wearing ancient clothes in the space behind, all of whom had been frozen and maintained their posture before death.

Who is so cruel to trap so many people inside?

The squad leader and I didn't dig deeper, because Gao Chuan and that "person" were probably hiding inside.

After returning back, I described what I saw, as well as the clothes of those people, Xu Peng was shocked when he heard it: "It's from the Qing Dynasty!" ”

I remembered what he said about Zuo Zongtang's Western Expedition, could it be the Western Expeditionary Army of the Qing Dynasty? However, there were men and women in it, and it was impossible for women to have female soldiers in the army.

Li Chuang took a sip and said: "No matter what it is, the dog has been following us all the time, and his neck is cold when he sleeps, and now it is just blocked in the hole, no matter what he is, rescue Gao Chuan first, and then add a hole in its head." ”

Now this kind of opportunity is not to be missed, after discussion, I went over with the squad leader and threw a grenade to blow the cave wall completely. Then instead of rushing in, I concentrated the light source and observed it with a telescope outside.

Xu Peng was very familiar with history, and after reading it, he determined that the corpses inside were from the Qing Dynasty, and deduced from the costumes that they were not ordinary people, and were probably from Qin Tianjian.

The Qin Tianjian was a Qing Dynasty institution dedicated to serving the imperial power, responsible for the construction of the royal tombs and the care of the dragon veins, and rarely walked outside. And there is a clear record in history that the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty was in Changbai Mountain, what did the people of Qin Tianjian come here for?

Xu Peng muttered to himself, he couldn't figure it out, and it was even more impossible for us to say it. Still, I made a bold guess: "Could they be looking for something?" ”

I didn't have anything to say later, what Qin Tianjian was looking for might be related to the expedition's actions this time, but the squad leader stared at me with sharp eyes and didn't dare to say it. But it also made me even more sure that the guess was correct.

Zhang Hu looked back at me and said, "Then who sealed them inside?" And the sound recorded by the cave wall, could it be the condition when they had an accident? ”

Zhang Hu's words overwhelmed us, there were more than 100 people inside, and their expressions before death were very frightened, which was very in line with the scene of the voice received by the radio.

Xu Peng didn't know how to look at the squad leader's face, and said after contemplation: "If this is the case, then the whole thing can run through, these people originally came to look for something, but on the way they encountered something terrible, that is, the person on the radio kept shouting 'it', and the people outside sealed hundreds of people in the hole in order to prevent 'it' from coming out." ”

After hearing this, I secretly opened the insurance of Bayi Bar, and it was obvious that there were not only Gao Chuan and that "comrade-in-arms" in it, but also an unknown thing.

The Qing Dynasty has only been around for a few hundred years, and "it" is likely still alive.
