There was no word that night. Wei Yu had dinner and fell asleep early. He slept until midnight and suddenly woke up. A sense of extreme danger suddenly enveloped him. Without thinking about it, he rolled up the cover and rolled aside.

There was a "stab" sound, and the futon wrapped around him was cut open with a long crack. Wei Yi didn't wait for the other party to come, turned over, picked up the futon and threw it over. Seeing that the opportunity had been missed, the man turned around and walked away without hesitation.

Wei Yu hurried to catch up and wanted to capture the man, but unexpectedly, the man threw something at him with his hand. There was a "bang", and the smoke filled in an instant. The spicy smoke forced Wei Yi to retreat again and again.

He waved his shirt, and it took a long time for the smoke to blow away. He didn't wait for the smoke in the tent to dissipate completely, and ran outside the tent in a few steps. But the man had long since run away without a trace. Wei Yi squinted his eyes and looked left and right at the situation around him.

His tent wasn't too far from the rest of the people, only a dozen paces away. But he suddenly noticed that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. He listened intently, but there was not even a sound of snoring. It's so abnormal.

He hurriedly rushed to Nangong Rong's tent, and when he opened the curtain, he saw that it was empty. He ran to Situ Nan's tent again, opened the curtain and saw that there was no one.

Wei Yi's heart "chuckled", and he suddenly felt bad. He rushed out of the camping area in a few steps and ran towards the place where the dead bodies had been dug up. Before he could get there, suddenly, a lot of vines came out of the ground, and Wei Yi was tied up in a knot at once.

Wei Yi was shocked and struggled desperately. But those vines tightened more and more, and gradually Wei Yi felt a little breathless. He threw his head up and shouted, but he couldn't make any sound. Suddenly, the earth cracked, and many vines pulled Wei Yi into the crack at once. At that moment, Wei Yi seemed to see a group of people in the distance, smiling brightly at him.

"Ahh Wei Yi let out a loud cry and opened his eyes suddenly. He suddenly realized that everything just now was just a dream.

"Whew. It's scary, such a dream. Wei Yi wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead and muttered to himself. This dream scared him a lot. He put on his clothes, went to the door of the tent, gently lifted the door, and looked out of the tent.

The bright moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, and the snow on the ground was intertwined. In the distance, there was a breeze after a little snow, fluttering in the lonely mid-air. Between heaven and earth, there is a scene of depression and decay.

Wei Yu watched for a long time, and after gradually calming down, he turned around and was about to continue sleeping, but suddenly heard someone walking in the camp. And the footsteps were getting closer and closer to the tent where he was. He suddenly thought of the dream just now, hurriedly pulled over the thin quilt, and quietly lurked beside the tent door.

The footsteps were getting closer. Wei Yi waited quietly for a moment, and finally, the man walked outside his tent. Wei Yi held the thin quilt tightly, ready to strike at any time. But the man did not come in, but walked back and forth outside his tent for a long time, and then turned and left.

Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly and quietly opened a little tent door, and looked out. A very familiar back was imprinted in his eyes. That person turned out to be Nangong Rong!

Wei Yi looked at Nangong Rong in the distance with doubts, and there were more and more questions in his heart. This Nangong Rong didn't seem to be as calm as he seemed on the surface. It's so late, he still wants to come to himself, why is that? Wei Yi stared at the direction of Nangong Rong's departure and stood still for a long time. It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that he was urged by a wave of sleepiness, and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Gongsun Jiu began to gather everyone early. Wei Yi rubbed his slightly darkened eyes and walked nonchalantly towards the meeting place in a daze. Accidentally, I hit a person headbuttfully.

He hurriedly apologized to the man, but when he looked up at the man, he couldn't help but be happy. Who was hit by Wei Yi? It turned out to be Situ Nan. And the reason why Wei Yile came out was that Situ Nan was also like him, his eyes were black, and he seemed to have become panda eyes.

The two of them glanced at each other and laughed. Wei Yi stroked his hair casually and asked Situ Nandao, "Why did you become a panda too?" Didn't sleep well last night? ”

Situ Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't slept well all night." Old nightmares. Are you too? It seems that someone came to me in the middle of the night last night, and I didn't look at who it was, and went to sleep in a daze. What about you? Did anyone look for you yesterday? ”

Wei Yi immediately shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "How do I know? I was the same last night, I had a nightmare, and I still had a nightmare, and I couldn't wake up. If anyone was looking for me at that time, I would not have known anything about it. ”

As they were talking, Nangong Rong walked over to them. Before he could get to Wei Yi and the others, he said quickly: "Quick, it's urging over there." Let's hurry. Don't keep everyone waiting too long. ”

Wei Yi and Situ Nan each responded, and hurriedly followed Nangong Rong to the meeting place. As soon as they arrived, Gongsun Jiu immediately led them to the place where they had been yesterday.

As soon as he got there, Gongsun Jiu immediately assigned his men and began to excavate the place from yesterday. Each of them had a sapper shovel in his hand and dug neatly into the pit.

Wei Yi held a sapper shovel in his hand, digging carefully around the corpse. Nangong Rong was also holding a shovel, but he seemed to be a little absent-minded. Wei Yi saw Nangong Rong digging in the wrong place several times. He had to remind Nangong Rong from time to time, which ensured the normal progress of the excavation operation. After working for a while, they finally dug the body out of the earth.

Wei Yi leaned over and was about to pull the corpse, when Situ Nan on the side suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "I'll come." ”

Wei Yi turned around and looked at Situ Nan, feeling a little puzzled. Nangong Rong on the side said loudly: "Brother Wei, let him go." Let's just help. ”

Wei Yi nodded, smiled at Situ Nan, and said, "It's hard work." ”

Situ Nan nodded and did not speak. He took a few steps past Wei Yi, walked to the corpse, leaned over and grabbed the corpse's clothes, and dragged it back.

As soon as the corpse was removed, a small hole the size of a fist was revealed in the place where it had been. Everyone's hearts were filled with joy. Someone shouted, "Found it." Definitely underneath this. Let's dig down and see. ”

Wei Yi thinks so. He picked up his shovel and was about to dig it. Situ Nan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Don't be busy yet. Let's take a look at this. ”

Everyone's eyes instantly converged on Situ Nan's body. Someone asked, "What did you find again?" ”

Situ Nan beckoned to everyone, pointed to the corpse at his feet and said, "I seem to know this person, he shouldn't be among the people who went out a few times ago." ”

As soon as Situ Nan's words fell, everyone hurried over. Everyone gathered around, looked at the dead body on the ground, and asked strangely, "Isn't it from the previous batches?" Is there another group of people? ”

Wei Yi took a closer look at the corpse's clothes, and suddenly felt a little familiar. He pointed to the corpse and said, "Huh? How do I look so familiar with this dress? Did the people who went out before wear this dress too? ”

Situ Nan glanced at Wei Yi and said approvingly: "Brother Wei has good eyesight. Not bad. This man's clothes are different from those of others. He must have been sent out a long time ago. ”

Gongsun Jiu also walked up to the corpse at this time and identified it carefully. After a while, he suddenly said aloud: "It should be Mu Xinyu, the leader of the search and rescue team who first went out to carry out the search and rescue mission." So many people went out to find his group, but I didn't expect him to die here. What a pity. ”

Wei Yi looked at the corpse. The corpse was unrecognizable, unrecognizable. Wei Yu didn't know how Gongsun Jiu judged, he turned his head to look at Situ Nan and asked with his eyes. Situ Nan understood, walked to the corpse in a few steps, leaned down to check it for a moment, and suddenly reached out and pulled down an identity plate from the corpse's neck.

He wiped the dirt from the identity tag with his hand, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed him." ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "I dealt with this man a long time ago. I happened to see him off when he was on a mission this time. Unexpectedly, he died. ”

Gongsun Jiu shook his head and said regretfully: "So many people came out to look for him, but I didn't expect him to die here." I'm afraid those people are probably also unlucky. It's a pity. ”

Wei Yi stared at the corpse for a moment of silence, and then suddenly asked, "How did he die?" Can you see it? ”

Everyone looked at him, but no one answered for a while. After a while, Nangong Rong stepped forward and carefully examined the corpse's body. After a while, Nangong Rong got up with an extremely ugly face.

He slowly said to the crowd, "The bones of my whole body are broken. There are obvious strangulation marks on the neck. There are friction breaks in the joints such as the elbows, and there is a lot of dirt between the fingernails, which does not look like they were buried. I reckon he probably suffered severe external trauma and was strangled by something like a rope. Digging in the dirt in a desperate struggle, and finally suffocated to death. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Wei Yi asked out loud: "So, it is very likely that he was killed." And not an accident? ”

Nangong Rong shook his head and said, "These are just my rough estimates, and the specific situation may be more complicated." But I think he should have killed him. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were a little inexplicable. For a moment, everyone fell silent. It was Wei Yu who broke the silence first. He pointed to the corpse and said, "Anyway, this person has been found now." We can't just leave him alone, find a way to load him in the car, and take him back by the way when we go back. Let's let him come back. ”

Everyone said yes. Situ Nan picked up the corpse and said, "I'll do such a thing." I'll get him in the car and come back to you later. Be careful. ”

Everyone nodded their heads and praised the good. Situ Nan nodded towards Wei Yi and Nangong Rong, and strode away with the corpse in his arms.

As soon as he left, Gongsun Jiu immediately organized the rest of the people and continued to dig. They dug carefully around the small fist-sized hole. The entrance to the cave is not surrounded by soft earth, but by a mixture of hard stones and dirt.

Some of the stones were so large that they could not be handled with a shovel. So, they had to stop from time to time and tie the stone with ropes, and several people could move it out with great force. After they dug like this for half an hour, the hole, which was originally the size of a fist, gradually expanded to the size of a human head.

After another quarter of an hour, the hole the size of a human head gradually expanded into a hole that was the width of a person. By this time, they had already dug down to a depth of tens of meters. From time to time, someone digs up bits and pieces from the dirt.

There were broken clothes, there were packages, there were tools, there were guns, and so on. But not a single body was found.

When the sky was getting dark, the entrance to the cave had been dug out by the crowd to be two people's width. Wei Yi took advantage of the sunlight shining down to take a closer look at the world in the cave. It was pitch black, and from time to time there was a faint rancid smell wafting out.

He sniffed. In this rancid smell, Wei Yi even smelled a little bit of extremely faint blood.

He hurriedly said to everyone: "There is a smell of blood, quick, let's prepare our things and prepare to go down." Maybe there's someone in there. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they sniffed lightly with their noses. Someone shouted, "That's right, there does smell of blood." ”

Gongsun Gu also sniffed the smell in the air with his nose. But he stared at the hole, silent, as if thinking about something. He was the leader of the team this time, and no one could go down without his orders.

Wei Yu saw that Gongsun Jiu hadn't given the order to go down to search for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In case Li Mingyu is down here, it must be injured. These people have been digging for a long time, and the movement will not be small. But after all this time, no one in the cave called for help, and they were either extremely seriously injured or all dead.

When Wei Yi thought of this, he couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart. He walked up to Gongsun Jiu's side in a few steps and begged, "Give me some equipment, let me go down first." I can give the whole team a start. The sooner you can find people, the sooner you can save them. ”

Gongsun Jiu glanced sideways at Wei Yi, and said, "You go down recklessly like this, if something happens, how can I explain to Xiaohui?" Don't worry, let me think about it first. ”

Wei Yi was speechless for a while, and he was speechless. It was Nangong Rong who came and pulled him aside. Nangong Rong whispered to Wei Yu: "Don't worry, if he doesn't let us go down later, Situ and I will accompany you down." ”

Wei Yi nodded gratefully towards Nangong Rong. Situ Nan also walked over at this time. He patted Wei Wei on the shoulder, but did not speak, but stood side by side with Wei Wei. Wei Yi gratefully patted Situ Nan back. Several people looked at each other and smiled, and they all waited quietly in place, waiting for Gongsun Jiu to make a final decision.
