Chapter 172: Death

Standing on top of a hill, Chen Ziyang looked around at the surrounding terrain, even if the pointer of the compass was now attracted by the magnet pillar and could no longer be used, he also knew that they had found the right place.

Although this hill is not very high, but compared to the surrounding terrain, it can be regarded as a big one among the short people, standing out from the crowd, standing on it and looking around, there is a feeling of seeing the small mountains, and at the same time, more than ten kilometers away in the northwest direction of this hill, there is a semicircular arc-shaped peak, surrounding this hill.

What a place to hide the wind and absorb the qi, Chen Ziyang thought in his heart, this kind of terrain has a separate name in Feng Shui, called Shenglongmu. A semi-circular mountain range, coupled with a separate mountain peak in a semi-circular range, if you look at them from above and look at them together, the two form a shape that looks like an open eye.

Although this kind of dragon's lair is not a very good hole, but this cave is good because it is located on this hill impartially and just above the position of the dragon's eye.

If the dragon's eyes are godless, then the dragon will not be able to ascend, and this cave will lose its meaning. Coupled with the unique geographical environment around it, and the fact that this dragon's lair is located in a sparsely populated area, it is understandable that this cave is a treasure trove of the Bohai Palace.

Because the compass could not be used, Chen Ziyang took out the GPS and used the direction above to roughly judge it. Sure enough, the location of the arc-shaped mountain range coincided with the direction pointed by the last word of the Dragon Quest. There was no need to dig up the magnet pillar under his feet to confirm it, Chen Ziyang pointed to the arc-shaped mountain range, and asked the team to hurry forward, trying to get there before dark.

Seeing that the destination of the trip was finally about to arrive, everyone in the team was happy, and the hardships along the way were unimaginable. However, Chen Ziyang's heart did not have this joy, although the team walked forward hard, and finally arrived at the entrance of the Bohai Palace. But how many days can you stay here?

The dry food he carried was not enough, if Lin Xueping's team had not appeared in the past few days, then all this effort would be in vain. Chen Ziyang was not the only one who was also worried about this matter, Yang Lei said to him as he walked:

"I said Eryang, do you think we can meet Lin Xueping? It's cold and snowy, if they wait until the beginning of spring next year, we will have to wait until then, and they will all freeze into popsicles. ”

"Yes, I also have this kind of worry, I was also confused by Wang Lele's matter at the beginning, I didn't think it carefully, the plan was not thorough enough, and the departure was relatively hasty, although we are here now, but it won't last long at all, if Lin Xueping and the others have not come, and even now they have not cracked the secret of the dragon hunting map in the disc, then we may not be able to see Lin Xueping, and Wang Lele will not be saved."

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was also worried, Yang Lei didn't say much. Chen Ziyang knew that the possibility of encountering Lin Xueping's team this time was very small, and according to the amount of dry food they had, they could only hold out here for 3 to 4 days at most.

And it has been a month and a half since the departure of the team. Three or four days is really nothing compared to the nearly two months. What's more, Lin Xueping's team is not the same as their purpose, Lin Xueping is coming for the treasures buried in the Bohai Palace, so they need to be well prepared, and at the same time, the number of people in the team may be larger and the scale is larger, so the preparation time will be longer, and the walking will be slower.

Lin Xueping: They are not as hasty as their own team. It is very likely that they will wait until the preparations are complete and the time is more right, after all, the key to the Bohai Palace is in their hands, and they will have the lead.

But at this time, it was too late to understand all this, although Chen Ziyang had some regrets, but since he had come here, he had to bite the bullet according to the original plan, and the rest of the things were no longer something he could control.

Looking at this arc-shaped mountain range that was not too big from a distance, it was only when Chen Ziyang and the others came closer that they found that this mountain range was nearly ten kilometers long. With such a large area, it seemed impossible to find the entrance to the Bohai Palace in a short period of time, so several people discussed their respective division of labor after dinner.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei went to find the entrance to the Bohai Palace, and Zhang San and Li Si found a hidden place nearby to hide as a secret sentinel to observe and search for news of Lin Xueping's team. Li Lin and Du Zifeng were looking for a place that was easy to climb nearby, climbed to the commanding heights, and drew a topographic map of the vicinity, firstly to prepare for the search for the entrance to the Bohai Palace, and secondly, to plan the route of the team's retreat.

After all, the compressed biscuits can't be eaten for a few days now, and it may not be long before the team will retreat. Wang Ming and Umbrella Shishuai were responsible for finding a relatively secluded place nearby and setting up a temporary camp.

On such a cold day, it is impossible not to light a fire when sleeping at night, but Chen Ziyang is afraid that if Lin Xueping's team really comes, then they can see this fire at night from a long distance, and at the same time they will be prepared, so the purpose of their team will not be achieved. Therefore, the location of the camp is very important, not only to make a fire, but also to avoid the leakage of fire.

After all, in such a cold environment, it is necessary to be able to move less, say a word, and save a little more physical strength.

Early the next morning, everyone in the team went busy according to their own division of labor, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei searched for a long time along this mountain range, but they didn't find anything more peculiar. For a whole day, the two of them almost walked back and forth the ten-kilometer-long mountain range, but they still found nothing, so the two of them wanted to go back to see how Li Lin's map was drawn. If you have a map to refer to, it might be easier to find.

Except for Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, the progress of the others is very fast, Umbrella Shishuai found a relatively large mountain crack, the crack naturally formed a trumpet-shaped stone cave, although the place is not very spacious, but you can't see the fire inside and outside, and at the same time you can avoid the cold wind outside, this place is perfect for camping.

Zhang San and Li Si found a relatively hidden location near this mountain crack, where they could not only see the camp, but also monitor most of the roads leading here, which was also very suitable as their ambush location.

Li Lin and Du Zifeng climbed to a relatively high place in this mountain range, and drew all the surrounding topographical maps, although the map was very simple, like some stick figures, but the height of the mountain and the general shape were drawn on it. Looking at this map, although Chen Ziyang didn't dare to compliment the two of them, it should be said that the key parts on this map make people look clear at a glance.

After studying this map for a long time, Chen Ziyang nodded, thinking in his heart, it's a pity, this dragon's lair is a one-eyed dragon, with only an arc-shaped mountain range and a dragon's eye, if there is a dragon eye nearby, then this cave can be regarded as the top, but even if this dragon with only one eye is already rare.

Li Lin told everyone that he had already found a route to retreat, just as Chen Ziyang had expected, this place to the west, the terrain was not as steep as when they came, relatively speaking, it was easier to walk, after listening to Li Lin's words, Chen Ziyang knew that maybe the general of the Bohai Ancient Kingdom back then had transported the treasure from that direction.

Looking at the look of relief in everyone's eyes, Chen Ziyang was also very helpless, after all, everyone did their best, and now the retreat route has been designed, as long as they survive the remaining three days, it seems that this mission will be over.

The next day, except for Zhang San and Li Si, who continued to ambush nearby, the other six people were still divided into three groups, looking for the entrance to the Bohai Palace nearby. Because no one had ever seen what this entrance looked like, Chen Ziyang only asked them to find some strange places, or some places with obvious traces of man-made.

But at the end of this day, three groups of six people still found nothing, and then Chen Ziyang decided not to look for the entrance of the Bohai Palace anymore, because for them, it doesn't matter if they can find this entrance or not, they have no intention of going down to the underground palace, the reason why they want to find it is just to stay in front of the entrance, so as to increase the possibility of encountering Lin Xueping.

But now that there is an ambush site with a wide view, it is not so necessary to find the entrance, it is better to save physical strength, replace Zhang San and Li Si, take turns to monitor the surroundings, and pay attention to the movements of Lin Xueping's team.

In this way, eight people took turns to monitor the movements around them for two days. But no one was found other than them, so on the morning of the third day, the six men who had slept in the camp gathered together, packed their things, and prepared to turn back.

When packing up his things, Chen Ziyang saw a trace of helplessness in Wang Ming's eyes, but there was really no way, he couldn't let Wang Chuan buy a helicopter and fly over a few boxes of compressed biscuits.

Because Zhang San and Li Si were standing guard in the second half of the night, the six of them walked to the place where Zhang San and Li Si were ambushed, wanting to retreat to the west together after meeting up with the two people. Just when the six people had just arrived at the ambush site, Zhang San and Li Si got up from the snowdrift, Chen Ziyang saw a strange scene.

I saw that from Zhang San's head and Li Si's chest, a stream of blood arrows spurted out at the same time. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned on the spot. Then, two gunshots rang out in the ears of several people.

"Get down! Get down quickly. When Umbrella Shishuai finished shouting these words, his people were already lying in the snowdrift.

At this time, all the people woke up like a dream and quickly fell to the ground. At this moment, everyone realized that Zhang San and Li Si had been shot.

"The gunshots that were heard two seconds after the shot, they should have fired seven or eight hundred meters away, at least two sniper rifles, everyone was lying on the ground, don't move." Seeing that Wang Ming was still crawling on the ground, wanting to see the injuries of Zhang San and Li Si, Umbrella Shishuai hurriedly shouted, you must not move at this time, as soon as you move, you will become a live target for a sniper rifle.

"Brother Umbrella, what should I do? Can you handle it? "Although according to what Umbrella Shishuai said, all the people are lying on the ground, and there is no danger for the time being, but this is not good, when the enemy in the distance comes, they are still dead! So Chen Ziyang anxiously asked Umbrella Shishuai.

"How? What can I do? This kind of gun in our hands can't even hit the shadow of others, although I have been a soldier, but I am a sapper, not a special soldier, Zhang San and Li Si were both hit by a shot, this is obviously a professional-level level, I can't even lift shoes for people, now everyone is lying here and don't move, live a little longer! ”

"I'll go, why is this sentence again, it was Ziyang who said it last time! Why are these damn things happening to us? Listening to Umbrella Shishuai's words, Yang Lei said in despair.

"When is this grandma, you are still poor. Shut up, eat a compressed biscuit, and be a full ghost. Chen Ziyang couldn't get used to Yang Lei's heartless virtue, so he teased him by the way. But he never expected that Yang Lei really took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, bit it in his mouth, and chewed it.

"Brother Umbrella, it's not a way to go on like this, they will come up in a while, don't we have to be finished." Chen Ziyang turned his head and looked at the other three people, Wang Ming was okay, Du Zifeng and Li Lin were so frightened that they trembled, they definitely couldn't count on it. Now the only reliable one has to be the umbrella stone handsome who has been a soldier.

"Then wait, when they come, let's fight with them, take out all the submachine guns and load the bullets, and when we hear the footsteps, we will shoot in that direction, regardless of whether we hit anyone or not, and run backwards while fighting. Do you see the slope behind you, don't think about anything when you run there, just roll down when you turn over. At this time, don't expect others to help you, don't coax, the more cowardly, the more you will be finished. ”

Listening to Umbrella Shishuai's words, Chen Ziyang turned his head slightly to look at the slope mentioned by Umbrella Shishuai. Thinking that he was still a soldier and could still be calm at this time, he quickly took out the submachine gun from his trouser pocket, inserted a magazine at the same time, pulled the bolt, and loaded the bullet.

After listening to Umbrella Shishuai's words, the other people also had a backbone, so they all took out their submachine guns and waited quietly in the snow.

After a while, Chen Ziyang heard a slight sound coming from their side, this kind of sound was too familiar to him, he would hear it every day for more than a month, it was the sound of shoes stepping on the snow.
