Chapter 432: [Artificial?] (2-in-1)
On the mountain road, exclamations, screams, and time resounded in a ball.
However, the hillside was too slippery.
The soldier and the old professor, who stepped on the air, slipped out of the way in an instant, disappeared into the hillside, and fell into a dark ravine.
Half ringing, no echo!
On the mountain road, the voices of the shouting people suddenly stopped, and they opened their mouths one by one, and sadness appeared on their faces.
The whole process happened too fast.
By the time everyone reacted, the soldier and the old professor had already disappeared. Falling into a ravine, I don't know whether I am alive or dead.
"I'll take a look below!"
In the silence, Platoon Leader Zhao gritted his teeth and spoke.
It is a pity that the soldier died, but the old professor must not die, this kind of scientific master, each one is a national treasure, and one less is a loss for the country.
Before Platoon Commander Zhao came, he received an order mainly for scientific researchers, even if he died, he had to bring the body back!
"No, I can't. ”
Platoon Leader Zhao's voice fell, and an old man with a sad face immediately stopped, "It's too dangerous, no one knows what the situation is below." If Lao Li was still alive, he would not approve of it. ”
"But what if Lao Li and the others are still alive?" another half-white-haired old man exhaled, "No matter what, people have to be found! Even if it's a corpse, including the little soldier's!"
"That's right, the temperature is too low, it's unrealistic for us to go inside, we need to go back and prepare more cold-resistant clothes before we can come back and continue the investigation. Find Lao Li and them, whether they live or die, you have to take them back with you!"
"Looking for Lao Li and them, of course it's no problem, but I'm afraid of taking my life again. The lives of the little soldiers are also their lives! We can't ignore their lives because of our old guys! They are also human beings, and they also have parents, wives and children!"
"I think it's better to find a professional lifeguard after you go out. Below the ravine, how deep it is, we don't know. If there is another accident, it will only be in vain. ”
"No, it's all here, I have to find a clue to say anything, and now I haven't found anything, so I'll leave in disgrace, and I'm not leaving!"
“......”
Several old professors quarreled.
Although Concubine Gong Xue is also a doctor, she has the least qualifications and can't interject at all.
Platoon Commander Zhao and others had different faces. Their duty is to protect the expedition team and follow the command.
If a few old guys are determined to go down to save people, they have no choice but to go down. But the ravine below the hillside is too deep. No one knows what's down there, and what if they can't find anyone and put their lives on the line?
An old professor is right when he says that a soldier's life is his life, and he cannot be sacrificed in vain.
The best thing to do is to find a professional ambulance.
Although the slope is steep, the area is open, there is no air current, and the helicopter is fully capable of driving in.
The only thing to worry about is that the temperature is too low, and after the helicopter comes in, it will not be affected.
Like, the wings are frozen and cannot be rotated, and the fuel tank is frozen and cannot be started!
Su put it aside, listened to the quarrel, did not speak, and thought about whether to make a move.
No, just then, I heard a shout from below the ravine.
Immediately, his eyebrows jumped, and his face was different.
Su Fang's ear power is not comparable to others, even in the quarrel, he can clearly hear the sound coming from the ravine.
The scream of the soldier who slipped down!
They weren't dead, and besides, there seemed to be a situation underneath!
"Everyone, stop. After Su Fang listened, he immediately stopped.
"What's the matter, Xiao Su?" the kind old woman next to her, Professor Yang, wondered, "What is your opinion?"
"No, I just heard a voice coming from below. Su Fang was under everyone's gaze and grinned, "Everyone hold your breath and listen carefully!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then, half-convinced, shut up and listened.
As a result, I really heard a shout, coming from below the ravine!
"It's Hou Gang's voice!"
Platoon Commander Zhao was the first to say excitedly, "It's not wrong, this is Hou Gang's voice!
"Not only is he not dead, he is fine, but he has discovered something unusual. Su Fang laughed.
"What's unusual?" Professor Yang said delightfully.
People are fine, it's good news.
And Su Fang was the first to hear it, proving that his hearing was better than everyone else.
"It's very hot down there!" said Su Fang.
"What?
"yes, the temperature down there, how can it be so high?"
"It's not simple, it's not high, go down and see!"
"I said a long time ago, it's absolutely no problem to go down and save people! Look, look, how is it now?"
“......”
A few old professors quarreled again.
"Alright, you guys, don't say a word. Professor Yang couldn't help but reprimand, "Since it's okay down there, and the temperature may be relatively high, let's all go below." ”
"Wait. When Su Fang heard this, he suggested, "The temperature below is high, maybe it's right, but whether you can go down below is still a question, I'll go down first, if I can, come up again, and notify everyone." ”
"This, Xiao Su, your proposal is good, but can you do it?" Professor Yang hesitated.
Although Su Fang said that he practiced martial arts all the year round and his physique was stronger than average, in terms of professionalism, he may not be able to compare with Platoon Commander Zhao and others, after all, Platoon Commander Zhao and his party were soldiers and had been exercising for many years. All kinds of wild survival, I don't know how many times.
"It's fine. I still have this ability. Su Fang smiled, asked a soldier with a rope on his back, asked to come over the climbing rope, made a circle, tied it to a convex and upturned rock, and then, grabbed the rope, and quickly slid down the hillside.
With Su Fang's strength, although there is no need to be so troublesome, Su Fang doesn't want to expose himself for the time being. In this kind of place, at this time, there is nothing to show off.
The reason why I went down to the ravine first was to see if there was anything below that was worth getting.
Now, below, there is only one soldier, and an old professor.
If there is really something good, then Su Fang can get it, and with Su Fang's spiritual power, hypnotize a soldier and an old professor, don't be too simple!
It's just that the result disappointed Su Fang.
In the dimly lit ravine, there was nothing but snow.
The screaming soldier and the old professor slipped down and fell into the snow half a man, not hurting much.
Seeing Su Fang, both of them were very happy.
Especially the soldiers who shouted, when they saw the rope that Su Fang was holding in his hand, they automatically asked for it and went up to notify.
Su Fang readily agreed.
Before that, though, he examined the ravine, and found that the dim ditch led to the center of the island, and that it was pitch black at the end.
However, the temperature in the ravine is indeed higher than on the mountain road.
According to preliminary estimates, it is almost minus three degrees!
This temperature can be fully withstood by the scientific expedition team.
In this way, Su Fang gave the climbing rope to the shouting soldier and asked him to go up and inform.
Su Fang himself and the old professor surnamed Li cleared a road in the snow.
It's hard to believe.
There is no snow on the slopes or on the mountain roads, but in the ravines, there is snow half a person high!
The thick layer of snow, covered with a two-meter-wide ravine, people standing in the snow, below the waist, were directly buried.
Fortunately, Professor Li was wearing a special cold-proof suit, otherwise, his old arms and legs would have been frozen.
For this reason, he is particularly envious of Su Fang, who does not wear cold-proof clothes or down jackets, just an ordinary single coat and a coat, so he is not afraid of the cold.
"Xiao Su, are you the master of the 'Bone Cleansing Realm'?" Professor Li leaned over to Su Fang and said mysteriously.
"Uh, Professor Li, do you know 'Martial Artist'?" Su Fang asked rhetorically with a wink.
"Yes, of course I do. Professor Li grinned, "You 'warriors', although I haven't seen much, I know that there is such a group of people. A few years ago, I went on an expedition to the mountains, and thanks to the protection of the warriors in the team, I escaped from the mouth of a mad bear. That martial artist seems to be the 'Bone Cleansing Realm'!"
"It's not a 'bone cleansing realm', it's a 'bone strengthening realm'. Su Fang explained with a smile, "That's right, I am indeed a martial artist. ”
Although Professor Li is a "national treasure", he let the "Pulp Washing Realm" grandmaster of the 49th Bureau protect him with him, obviously, the level is not enough, and only the masters of the "Strong Bone Realm" will follow.
After all, a few years ago, at home and abroad, the number of "grandmasters" was very small, and only when national-level leaders went out, there would be "grandmasters" to follow.
"The same, the same. Professor Li was confirmed, and said happily, "I have already guessed that you are a 'martial artist', ha, only a 'martial artist' is so afraid of the cold, Xiao Su, I have a ...... that is not it."
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Su let out a low roar, quickly raised his legs, and kicked in the snow in front of Professor Li.
Boom!
Snowflakes.
A cyan python with a thick bowl mouth was thrown out of the snow. The hideous triangular head spat out the scarlet snake letter and bit Professor Li.
It's just that there is still a distance of half a meter, and Su Fang grabbed his neck, pinched it hard, and exploded with a "bang".
Snake blood splattered and sprinkled white snow, making people's hearts tremble.
Professor Li "snorted, swooped" and breathed hard, and only after half a loud sound did he barely regain his composure, his face pale, and he trembled, "Thank you...... Thank you, Xiao Su. ”
If it weren't for Su Fang, he might have fallen by now.
The headless cyan python body, flicked one flick, the skin on the body was the same color, obviously poisonous!
"It should. Su Fang threw away the headless python body and thought, "Professor, this ravine, I'm afraid it's not simple. There are such big poisonous snakes hidden in the snow, and if we go in, we are afraid that there will be great casualties. By the way, Professor, you're a biology expert, do you know what kind of snake this is?"
Su Fang remembered something, looked at the headless cyan python, and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know. Professor Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have never seen this kind of green snake, either I have never found it, or it is mutated!"
"In either case, it's not optimistic. Su Fang groaned.
"yes. Professor Li sighed, "Now the world is getting more and more complicated, animals and plants are mutating, especially this iceberg island, the situation is particularly complicated, there are actually scorpions that can survive by splitting!"
Hearing this, Su Fang did not respond, and the mutation of animals and plants was expected. The situation in the future will only become more complicated.
However, Iceberg Island is indeed weird, the kind of "ice scorpion" that can grow the race by splitting is obviously not just an ordinary mutation, it is so simple!
The main purpose of the expedition team to Bingshan Island was to investigate this matter.
The temperature on the hillside is too low to move forward, but the temperature in the ravine is around freezing, so no matter how dangerous it is, the team will continue to move forward!
And that's exactly what happened.
When all the people in the large army passed the climbing rope and all came down to the ravine, listened to Professor Li's speech, and looked at the corpse of the headless cyan python, no one in the team was frightened, but on the contrary, they were in high spirits and used tactical daggers to cut off a piece of the body of the headless cyan python and put it in a bag to take away.
The whole body was too heavy to carry.
As for the danger in the ravine, after discussing it with several old professors, they were ready to see the move.
If there is no danger in the investigation, they will not need the protection of Platoon Commander Zhao and his party.
In the face of a crisis, it is their job to stand up.
So, after resting for a while, the large army continued to set off, along the dim ravine, into the depths.
In addition to the snow on the ground, which acts as a "light source", the crowd also took out lighting sticks and acted as flashlights.
The scientific expedition personnel walked in the middle, the first was Platoon Commander Zhao, and Su Fang walked in the middle of the front.
Knowing that it was Su Fang who found the cyan python and made a shot to pinch it, everyone in the team looked at Su Fang more and more impressed. Platoon Commander Zhao also asked Su to let go of the middle and protect the scientific expedition personnel at any time.
Again, they can all die, but a few old professors can not have an accident, it is better not to have an accident!
The subsequent development of events also confirmed that this arrangement was extremely wise.
In the half-human-high snow, there are not only snakes, but also spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and other poisons.
God knows how these poisons can survive in the snow, and each of them is twice the size of the normal one!
Fast speed and strong forbearance.
Walking in front of the team, they went out a long way before they rushed out of the snow and attacked the scientific expedition personnel walking in the middle.
If Su Fang hadn't been on guard, wielding a borrowed sapper shovel and killing it, the thirteen scientific expedition personnel would have been wiped out.
Rao did this, and the team also suffered a lot of casualties, five soldiers were directly bitten to death, and one doctor, who acted as an assistant, was glued away by the falling spider silk and disappeared into the caves on the mountain walls on both sides of the ravine.
The crisp sound of gunfire, along the way, kept ringing.
At the end of the ravine, when they entered the middle of the five peaks of the iceberg island, the team entered a cave, and in the center of the cave, they found a "sinkhole in a hole".
The sinkhole is deep, the entrance is circular, and the radius is almost ten meters.
Stand in the edge area, look down and look down, you can't see the bottom at all.
However, miraculously, on the outside of the walls of the sinkhole, there are convex stones that appear to be steps, winding all the way to the bottom of the sinkhole.
These stones are about the same size.
More than one meter long, more than half a meter wide, more than 20 centimeters thick, one after another, stretching out from the wall, from top to bottom, paving and connecting together.
Factitious?
