I quickly let go of his neck and re-fastened the rim of the basket. This natural stupid really didn't brag, there was a big man squatting in the basket, and the whole person was hanging on the rope, and he was at ease, slowly heading towards the bottom of the ice crack.

Because of the sloping structure, sunlight cannot penetrate directly into the ice crevices, and the light can be seen in the first section, and the latter section gradually falls into darkness. We followed the rope into the darkness, and when we looked up, we could see some glimmers of light, but when we looked down, it was endless darkness.

We were still descending, and there was a dead silence all around us. I grabbed the edge of the basket, and all I could hear was the sound of my own breathing, and I couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you were going to find the forest?" How do you get down into this ice crevasse? How deep is this ice crevasse? ”

Naturally, staying in the end is not iron, and there is a little gasp at this time: "The forest is down there." This place is about four or five hundred meters. ”

Four or five hundred meters? That's the equivalent of being below the level of the sacred lake.

This area is a polar glacial zone, and the terrain difference is acceptably large, but what I can't understand is his first sentence: the forest is below.

Is there a forest beneath this ice crevasse?

I know that there are many sinkholes in Sichuan, that is, huge caves with a large difference in terrain formed naturally, and one of them is a straight sinkhole hundreds of meters deep, which has its own world, with all kinds of trees and vegetation, and all kinds of small animals.

But the reason why plants can grow in that sinkhole is related to the opening and vertical angle of the sinkhole, because in that way, the rain can irrigate it and the sun can shine down, so it can form an underground life world.

But here...... There may be water here, but there is no sunlight down there, so how can there be a forest in such an environment?

Just when I was puzzled, the natural stay suddenly stopped? In the middle of the air, he said that there was a lamp and a fire fold in the basket, and asked me to light the lamp. To be honest, I didn't pay attention when I came in before, and I really didn't notice this stubble. As soon as he said this, I reached out and groped for it in the basket, and soon I did.

The fire fold was at my feet, and the oil lamp was pinned to the inner corner of the basket. It was the first time I had seen such a primitive thing as a fire fold, and when I opened the wooden cover in front of it, there was a red spark in it, and after a little blowing, a flame burst out.

The production principle of the fire fold is actually very simple, the inside is filled with slow-burning combustibles, the front end of the lid has a small hole for ventilation, a fire fold, you don't touch it, you can keep burning for more than ten days, in today's words, it's almost the same as a mobile phone standby.

After the fire fold was lit, I used it to light the oil lamp.

The oil lamp was filled with solid fuel, so the previous toss did not spill out. After the oil lamp was lit, the surroundings lit up, but except for what we could see, the surroundings were still black and numb, going up and down, and it was dark everywhere.

We should be hanging in mid-air now, which reminds me of the hanging corpses.

I wanted to ask him about the corpses, but suddenly I didn't know what to call him, and I didn't seem to be able to say anything about it, so I said, "You really don't have a name?" What should I call you? ”

"Nope." He only answered me with two words.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

I said, "Brother, it's not right to deceive people. ”

He paused and said, "Names don't matter to us. He was talking about us, not me, and it made me intrigued: "Who do we mean?" The partner you were talking about last time? ”

He hummed again.

I pressed him when his companion had left, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Four thousand one hundred and twenty-five days ago." This answer made me stunned for a moment, the time calculated by the day of this kid? After thinking about it, I was also relieved, probably he was alone, and there was no spring, summer, autumn and winter in this place, so he was not very sensitive to the year. Four thousand one hundred and twenty-five days ago? How could he remember it so clearly?

In this way, it was already twelve years ago that his partner left, and for a while, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. He looks much younger than me, I'm twenty-five, he should be in his early twenties, if he's twenty-two now, then twelve years ago, he was ten.

Could it be that since the age of ten, or even earlier, he has lived alone in this place?

Just imagining this scene, I find it incredible, ancient buildings full of dead bodies, dead and silent snowy areas, lonely people, no one to speak, nothing superfluous, at this time, maybe the name really doesn't make sense, because no one will call your name at all.

After a pause, I casually said, "Why don't I give you a name, so it's convenient to call it." He continued, without agreeing or rebutting, so I thought about it and called, "Derpy? ”

He ignored me at first, so I called out again, this time he looked sideways at me and said, "Huh? ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of accomplishment: "Derpy, how old are you?" It looks young, it won't be ten years old, right? ”

He said, "I don't know. ”

As I spoke, it seemed that the rope was swaying more violently, and I had to grasp the basket with all my might, and the injured hand was holding the oil lamp. Because the speed of natural stay down is relatively fast, the flame of the oil lamp keeps beating, flickering, as if it will be extinguished at any time, and everything around it is even more flickering and dimming.

Just this time, I vaguely saw what seemed to be almost the end, and the ground was vaguely exposed below. Sure enough, more than 20 people went down, and we finally got our feet on the ground.

In the faint and dim light of the oil lamp, there was a hard layer of ice as far as the eye could see, and if there was anything out of the ordinary, it would probably be the ground under our feet.

The foothold is still a solid layer of ice, but this ice is not thick, separated by the ice, but under the light of the oil lamp, you can see that under the ice, there is a frozen layer. You know, I haven't seen dirt since I entered the depths of this glacier, so it's amazing to see it here.

He snatched the oil lamp from my hand and held it up, saying, "Follow me." ”

He led the way, I had no equipment on me, and the light of the oil lamp was dim, and in the darkness, it was a terrible feeling to be unable to see and not to fathom, and I had to hate that our equipment had sunk into the water, otherwise we would have to turn on a powerful searchlight to see this place clearly.

I asked him, "Dumb, did I bring your lighter?" Give it to me, and you can use that to illuminate it too. ”

He paused, took out something from his arms and threw it to me, in fact, I saw that he was carrying a fire fold, so I thought he didn't have a lighter, who knew that he actually took it out of his arms, which was really a bit surprising.

I immediately flicked the lid of the lighter, rubbed the lighter, and the straight light suddenly lit up. I noticed that while I was on the lighter, the kid's eyes were peeking at my movements. In an instant, a thought popped into me: Could it be that this kid doesn't know how to use a lighter at all?

As the windproof lighter illuminated, the light suddenly increased a lot, and the starting range was also larger.

I saw that the bottom of this ice crack was very large, and at this moment, we were on the right, and as for the left, we couldn't see the edge at all. Naturally, he didn't stop at all, and walked straight forward, looking familiar. I kept looking after him, wondering: Where the hell is this forest?

However, before I could walk more than ten meters away, I found something worth exploring.

I saw that on the ice on our right, there was a straight groove, extending all the way down the ice. In the groove, there is a lamp holder similar to the oil lamp in the natural fool's hand, but the lamp holder is much larger.

As I walked forward, I lit the lamps one by one, and stretched them all the way, and the lights were too many to count, and in the end, I didn't need to hold a windproof lighter, so I extinguished the lighter in order to save fuel.

At this time, when I looked back, I saw that the oil lamps formed a beating line of fire at the place where I came, and under the dark glacier, the orange-red beating light looked extraordinarily magnificent. Natural Stay still didn't stop, didn't even look back, he lit the lamp all the way forward, when he finished lighting the last lamp, the underground world in front of him, suddenly the whole person lit up. It's like a firework that lights up gradually.

First, there was a glimmer of light out of thin air, and then the light became brighter and brighter, and the coverage became wider and wider, and when the light finally stabilized, I was shocked to find that the glacier had been artificially polished to form a prismatic mirror.

When the oil lamps are lit, they are reflected through the prismatic mirrors above and on the sides of the glacier, and the world becomes what I see in front of my eyes.

For a while, I was so shocked that I couldn't even say a word, the entire dark underground world, under the reflection of layers of layers, became brilliant, just like the legendary Crystal Dragon Palace, the light and shadow flowed, making people feel as if walking in a world composed of glass.

"This ...... Oh my God. It took me a while to find my voice, and I finally said only one sentence.

Naturally, he glanced sideways at me and said, "Do you like it?" ”

I immediately nodded, and said obediently...... This place can be used as a 5A-level scenic spot, if it is a tourism development, directly charge tickets, sell it for at least 1,000 yuan, and only allow to see, not touch, and take pictures for another fee!
