"What!?"

I picked up another broken rope and took a closer look, and found that Uncle Dao was right, the end fixed on the slope was indeed cut by someone with a knife.

We immediately became vigilant and looked up the hill. But the snow was so thick that it blocked our view. I couldn't see the movement on the mountain, but more and more snow was slipping down.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, a large-scale avalanche may come at any time, let's retreat first!" Uncle Dao said.

Then we were led by Andre and ran along this new road.

Fat Bear and I both fell badly just now, and it was difficult to run. But in order not to hold everyone back, I had to run forward with the butt of my gun supporting myself, and the snow mixed with sweat beads was constantly flowing down my cheeks, soaking my pale and cold lips. I felt the blood in my chest pouring up, and the smell of blood in my mouth and throat was overwhelming.

Fifty minutes later, we finally circled to an open ridge.

The most conspicuous thing on the ridge is a large cave. Andrei led us in, and I saw some extinguished torches and opened cans on the floor of the cave.

Uncle Dao unloaded his equipment and said to me: "This is the refuge point established by the Brotherhood in the mining area, in the event of a sudden avalanche, the brothers in the mining area can come in and take refuge, let's rest here for a while!" ”

I gasped for breath and sat down on the ground all at once, saying that my blood was almost dry all the way to the run, and now I could finally lie down.

Uncle Dao pulled me up: "I can't lie down immediately after running, it's easy to have cerebral congestion and shock!" ”

Reluctantly, I stood up, leaning lazily against the cold rock wall, like an invertebrate.

After Andre on the side lit a fire in the cave, he slammed a few punches at the rock wall to the east, and a hidden door was directly smashed open by him, and I was stunned.

On the other side of the hidden door is a ten-meter-square storage room filled with a variety of canned food and sealed water.

Andrei walked in and took out part of the water and cans and distributed them to us.

"Eat the reserve food here first, and wait until the critical moment to eat the food you bring." Uncle Dao said.

"Shall we spend the night here tonight?" Wei Yin looked around and asked.

Uncle Dao nodded: "This cave is big enough for us to set up a tent. ”

"Uncle, how long do you think this avalanche will last?" I asked.

Uncle Dao looked outside the cave: "The situation is quite optimistic, it has not caused a large-scale avalanche, it is estimated that it will not last too long, and it can be stopped tomorrow morning." ”

I nodded and relaxed.

Before setting up the tent, Wei Yin took out the small medicine box she carried with her and gave medicine to a few of our injured ones.

The fat bear's face was scratched by the eagle's claws, which was considered to be broken.

He felt very uncomfortable for this, Wei Yin complained while taking the medicine: "What's this called, I was scratched by that beast, how can the fat man use this handsome face to take care of my sister in the future!" ”

Zheng Tian smiled: "Do you have any misunderstanding about "handsome"? ”

Listening to Zheng Tian's words, Andre "giggled" and laughed, and he didn't know what he was laughing at......

The fat bear ignored Zheng Tian, but arched his hand at Andre: "Thank you Lao Tie for saving the fat man's life with that arrow!" From now on, we will be our own brothers! ”

Andrei also arched his hand in the same way as the fat bear, but I guess he didn't understand what the fat bear said.

It's not too late, but we've already used up a lot of stamina, so sit around the campfire and open the cans to refuel.

Canned meat has a long shelf life, and the taste is not flattering, I ate a few bites, I don't know what kind of meat is inside, I just feel astringent, and there is a fishy smell. But there is no way, we are not out on vacation, and we still have to endure this hardship.

Zheng Tian, a rich man, feels the same as me, it's too unpalatable......

But he could only endure it, and with every bite he ate, his face twisted.

I really don't know what made him give up the life of fine clothes and food in China, and he was determined to come to this bitter cold place with us to eat canned food.

Through the flames of the burning bonfire, I saw snowflakes drifting outside the cave again, and the cold wind blew through, and my heart was cold.

After eating a few bites of canned meat, I suddenly thought of something, put down the can, and asked Uncle seriously: "Uncle, I just brushed it, at the beginning, someone attacked Andre with a slingshot, and then our mountaineering rope was secretly cut again, do you say that we have been targeted?" ”

Uncle Dao nodded: "It's not impossible, but what I don't understand is that our itinerary is confidential, and we won't be targeted under normal circumstances." ”

"Chengzi, who do you think is staring at us?" Zheng Tian asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "I think the most likely thing is the Black Thorns, after all, they have a vendetta with the Brotherhood. And they have also been searching for the secrets of the soul stars. ”

Andrei seemed to understand what I meant, he hammered his chest hard, and said demonstratively: "Black thorns, don't dare, we, kill them all!" ”

The fat bear smiled: "Lao Tie is very irritable!" ”

Uncle Dao is not sure about this: "The Siberian mining area is the territory of the Brotherhood, and the Black Thorn people should be discovered by the secret sentinel when they come......"

At this time, I thought of what happened in the Lop Nur desert, and put forward another thought: "Do you think it is the followers of the local soul star who are assassinating us?" Previously, we met an organization called the Sagu Cult, they just believe in the evil cult and do everything possible to prevent outsiders from sealing it. ”

"These people don't have a good brain, and they actually help those monsters who want to exterminate humanity." Zheng Tian muttered.

"In the final analysis, it is for personal gain, and the Sagu cultists believe in the evil spirit, mainly because they believe that the evil will give them a second birth after the beginning of the new era." I replied.

Uncle Dao pondered for a moment and said, "I have been in the Siberian mining area for many years, and I have never seen an organization that follows the soul constellation. ”

Wei Yin seemed to suddenly think of something at this time: "I remember that the Ural Mountains are inhabited by Mansi people who live in relatively primitive conditions, will they ......?"

Hearing Wei Yin say this, Andre immediately shook his head: "Mansi people, friends!" ”

Uncle Dao explained: "The Mansi people are very friendly, they often help the mining area to complete the mining tasks, and we will also give them a lot of materials as a reward, and the two sides get along very well. So it's not the Mansi who are following us. ”

The fat bear spread his hands: "So let's put this aside for a long time and we can't get any results." ”

At this time, the outside of the cave was gray, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier, completely blurring the vision, and it was impossible to see the outside at all. The howling north wind roared like a wild beast, and it sounded terrible.
