Chapter 9: Bloodstains
I nodded lightly and said, "Since you think so too, let's move on." However, I have to warn you to be careful. Since we've all sensed the anomaly, it's best to be careful. Death is not terrible, but we cannot die in vain. Do you know what I mean? ”
Gao Ping sighed and said softly: "Boss, we all know that most of the people will probably stay here for this exploration. Like you said, you can't die in vain. I believe that everyone's sacrifice will be worthwhile. ”
Granny Blue Flower said: "Don't be so pessimistic, you haven't reached any step yet, and the result is unpredictable. Ye Manqing, I believe you have also seen a little sign, but have you really seen it clearly? "Granny Blue Flower is usually very quiet, but this time she took the initiative to speak, and she was so sharp and wise, which was really beyond our expectations.
Ye Manqing shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly." However, there are dangers. I just don't know who it is. ”
Granny Lanhua sighed lightly, pointed at Wang Zhiqiang and Liu Qiang and said, "One of the two of you will die first, and the lifespan will not exceed two days." Let's get ready. ”
Hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded, and Ye Manqing also asked in a daze, "Mother-in-law Blue Flower, how did you see it?" I only know that there is danger, but I don't know whose fulfillment is there. How do you know? Will it be the two of them? ”
Granny Blue Flower shook her head and said, "Just take a closer look." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at the two of them, Liu Qiang reluctantly smiled and said, "Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as the death is valuable, the death is dead, it's not a big deal." Liu Qiang's laughter was pale. There is a kind of tragedy in it, and there are some hollows when you listen carefully, like the cry of a night owl, and the desolate laughter makes everyone feel very depressed.
Ye Simin sighed and said, "What Granny Blue Flower said is not wrong, it seems that this is indeed the case. The two of you are dark, and your noses are black. The face is flushed, and there is a flush on the Yin Hall, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future. But I don't dare to say that you are going to die, it's just not good. If the words of Granny Blue Flower and Ye Manqing come true, you really have no way to escape. This is a catastrophe, and it is also fate. Of course, these are not all correct, there are countless variables in this, and there may be a false alarm. If that's the case. You're the ones in the team who have the best chance of surviving. ”
Wang Zhiqiang stared at him and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Ye Manqing said: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future." ”
Wang Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "Houfu? It's hard. My disease was originally terminal. Even if I return alive from here, I will still inevitably die, so if there is any dangerous work that will die, I will ask to be the first to go. ”
I shook my head and said, "Forget it, this is pointless nonsense. No one can be sure of the correctness of these words. So, that's all about that later. Let's move on. Let's see how far we can go. Take it as a coordinate ruler to see when you will meet people. Hehe. ”
On the road again, everyone was obviously depressed, and that was the last thing I wanted to see. I didn't say Ye Manqing's prophecy at the beginning, in order to avoid such a situation, but. Alas, Granny Blueflower, what are you doing here? In such a state, who will run when there is danger? No, it can't go on like this. Let's stop and rest. Maybe get some sleep and get a little better every day. It's just that I walked too little today, and when I came out of Kunlun Station to get here, it shouldn't be more than 35 kilometers. At this rate, it will never be possible in half a month. The first day was like this, and the road behind it will only get slower and slower, and it will definitely not be faster. But in this state, there is a pause in saying anything. If you are depressed to the extreme, I am afraid that you will become hysterical, lose your mind, and commit suicide.
I shouted, "Stop, don't leave today, we'll camp here, rest for a while, and leave tomorrow." The men dug up ice and set up camps, and the women prepared stoves and cooked meals. ”
Everyone silently put down their equipment, Wang Zongjun took out an ice axe, Liu Qiang took out a sapper shovel, and began to make an igloo. In fact, there are two kinds of igloo manufacturing, one is made on flat ground, which requires the mining of flat ice. The other is what we do, digging several deep pits and capping them with tents. The advantage of this is that it is easy to build and relatively labor-saving. In fact, no matter which one it is, it is to avoid being blown by the cold wind. In this kind of place, no matter how warm the day is, the cold wind blows cold. It's not ordinary cold, it's bone-chilling.
Suddenly, we heard Wang Zongjun screaming, and we hurriedly leaned over. I heard Wang Zongjun say, "Boss, look." I hurriedly squeezed two steps in, and I saw a red patch on the ground. My heart sank, I understood what it was, and a faint smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves. A strong uneasiness suddenly made everyone busy. Looking at the chaotic crowd, I shouted, "Give me peace." What's the mess? Is there anyone like you? Is this the first time you've been in such a situation? You are all old people, and this is not the first time that such an expedition has occurred, how can such a ...... occur You guys...... What do you want me to say? When there is danger, you should be calm, for as you are now, when there is danger, none of you will survive. ”
Listening to my reprimand, the crowd fell silent. Lu Liang said embarrassedly: "Boss, don't blame us, look at it, with so much blood, how many people do it need." Look at the place where Wang Zongjun dug up, a full thirty centimeters of ice was stained red with blood and soaked. How can we not be scared in the place where we want to set up camp. When I stopped just now, I didn't see the redness underneath. As if it came out of nowhere, everyone was not mentally prepared and could not help but be startled. There's only a thin layer of ice on it, so why don't we see it? ”
Ye Simin squatted down, touched it carefully, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and said, "It's not blood, it seems to be a long time, and the smell is almost gone." Judging by the current taste, it is estimated that it will be at least a month. ”
I frowned and asked, "You mean, the people in front of us?" ”
Ye Simin nodded and said, "It should be so." ”
I said suspiciously: "But in this case, they should have passed through Kunlun Station, why didn't Li Yu say it?" ”
Granny Blue Flower suddenly said, "Professor Shui, have you seen Li Yu before?" ”
When I heard this, I didn't know what Granny Blue Flower meant, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and a deep fear made up for my whole body, I couldn't help but shiver, and said with some hesitation: "This...... Should...... No...... "I don't know what to say." Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, I shook my head and tried to get rid of the current thoughts, if that was the case, I am afraid that no one would survive this time.
Ye Manqing put her arm around me and said softly: "There is no concern, everything here depends on us, since we are here, can we still go back?" She raised her head, kissed me gently, and said with a smile, "With you, I'm not afraid there." At least you're real. "I immediately knew that she also understood what Granny Blue Flower meant.
Hearing what Ye Manqing said, everyone immediately understood. Zhang Qian's face changed, he took out the peach wood sword and talisman, bit the tip of his tongue, spurted out a mouthful of essence blood, and shouted: "Break the evil." The blood-stained talisman fell lightly to the ground without the slightest change. Looking at the talisman, Zhang Qian shook his head and said, "There is no illusion, these are real. ”
Leng Feng looked at Granny Blue Flower and said, "We only know that the stationmaster of Kunlun Station is Li Yu, but we haven't seen what he looks like. Do you mean Li Yu has a problem? ”
Granny Blue Flower shook her head and said, "I don't know, but what is certain is that this Li Yu has a secret to hide from us." Or ......" she hesitated, "the people in Kunlun Station ......"
I waved my hand and said, "Leave them alone, it doesn't matter if they're dressed up as Mayans or controlled by Mayans. I think that from the moment we entered the continent of Antarctica, the danger was already around us. That's fine, just be careful on the way we go. At least we have now reached the heart of the region, which is luckier than those who have travelled from Argentina and Chile. Now that everyone knows, the road ahead may be better. ”
Ye Manqing nodded and said: "Yes, at least now we don't have the idea of getting lucky, and besides, everyone will cheer up, from here on, we will treat ourselves as if we have entered the ancient tomb, and we will not relax at any time." In this case, the ice crevasse may not be a problem. Isn't it? ”
Gao Ping suddenly said: "Boss, I have a question, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still haven't figured it out, hehe, I want to ask you for help." ”
I looked at Gao Ping with interest, this kid is talking like this for the first time, this is to test me, right? I pointed to the ground and said, "You're asking me that there's so much blood on the ground, but I don't see a corpse, right?" ”
Gao Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The boss is worthy of being the boss, but he is smart, I know it before I ask you." He looked at the crowd and said, "Tell me what is going on?" ”
Bai Ling said with a smile: "That's not simple, those people are just injured, no one is dead." Does such a simple question still need to be discussed? The little girl said with a look of disdain, "Such a simple question actually said that I don't know, Gao Ping, you are really stupid." ”
Wang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, since Gao Ping asked like this, he has his considerations." Let me share my opinion. He pointed to the ground, "There is nothing wrong here, but have you ever wondered why the blood is under the ice?" Even if it's snowing, it's under the snow, not under the ice. You see, there is nearly five centimeters of ice on this bloodstain, and you can tell me, where did this ice come from? (To be continued......)
