Chapter 28: The Best Plug-in
After treating the little brother's wounds, Zhang Qixun took out the sleeping bag from the space and put him inside.
There is no way to light a fire in this hellish place, so I can only use a sleeping bag to maintain my brother's body temperature.
Zhang Qixun didn't have the heart to eat, so he casually stuffed a few energy gels, and held the knife to guard the little brother's side.
Counting the time with his fingers, it was already the third day that Wu Xiaoxie and the others had left Banai, and Zhang Qixun and the little brother had to stay in the Milota Cave for at least seven days.
Otherwise, he was afraid that if he and his little brother went out, Wu Xiaoxie and the two would be swept in by the siphon tide again.
They were far away from the lake, and even if he had dug it out of the mountains, it would have been a few days by the time he reached the lake.
Therefore, we can only wait for the sake of today.
I don't know what was mixed with the poisonous needle in the collapsed shoulder, and it wasn't until the third night that the little brother woke up leisurely.
Zhang Qixun almost cried with joy, and hurriedly lit the mining lamp, "Little brother, you can be regarded as awake!"
The little brother sat up and looked at the environment he was in, with a little doubt in his eyes.
Zhang Qixun explained: "You have been in a coma for a day, the siphon tide swept you into the patio, it was the slumped shoulder that brought you here, you should have been unable to react to the lack of oxygen under the water, so he sneaked attacked."
"I woke up shortly after you entered the water, and found that something was wrong in the lake, I originally wanted to bring you back, but I didn't expect that I myself was swept in by the siphon tide, but fortunately with oxygen, I got stuck in the patio and persisted until the siphon tide ended."
Zhang Qixun said as he took out the self-heating rice from the space and brought it to the little brother, "Oh, by the way, the place where we are staying now is actually not very safe."
"See those dark green stones on the cave walls?" Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand and pointed to the two jade veins on the opposite cave wall, "That's actually a kind of jade vein, and there is a very strange creature living in it, called Milota, and the mucus secreted by them can soften this jade vein, allowing them to travel freely in the jade vein."
"And this creature can judge its prey based on its temperature, and the higher the temperature, the faster Milota will move and the more it will gather." "But Milota has a fatal weakness, they are afraid of alkali powder, because alkali powder can destroy the shell of their body and melt Milota whole."
Zhang Qixun pointed to the white powder sprinkled under the jade veins, and when he saw the little brother staring at him intently, he smiled, "I can be regarded as a member of the Zhang family, and I still understand something after all."
The little brother was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly said, "Iron."
"Oh, you said that." Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand and pulled around the air, "Did you smell anything?"
The little brother looked around and said lightly, "The smell of iron."
"That's right." Zhang Jixun snapped his fingers, "Actually, to be exact, it's the taste of Milota."
"That kind of iron is used by our Zhang family to restrain Milota, it should be a synthetic metal, do you know why you think in the dark, can you find the answer here?" Zhang Qixun looked at the little brother, and a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes, "Because this is the destination of all the Zhang family."
"Home?" The little brother repeated softly.
"Yes, home." Zhang Qixun sighed, "I don't know much, I only know that there is a very mysterious ancient building hidden in the mountain of Banai, which is a group burial tomb built by the ancestors of the Zhang family a long time ago, but where it is, it is estimated that no one knows except you, oh no, even you don't know now."
The little brother twisted his eyebrows, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he remembered something.
"Okay, don't think about it, you're going to go in sooner or later anyway, come, hurry up and have a hot meal." Zhang Qixun pushed the self-heating rice to his hand.
The little brother nodded and silently chopped the rice.
After a short rest, the two of them came out of the cave where they were hiding and came to the place where the statue of the god Thunder King was placed.
The incense burner enshrined in front of the statue of the evil god had been kicked over by Zhang Qixun, and the incense ash inside was scattered all over the ground, making the nicks on the ground look clearer.
Zhang Qixun stepped forward and kicked the incense ash evenly
, nodded and said, "Okay, now I can see clearly."
The characters are crooked, each word is the size of a chess block, all in traditional Chinese, and a batch of scribbles.
Zhang Qixun took out paper and pen from his pocket and copied the words on the ground one by one.
——
November and 7th.
The east wall, seven feet from the left, has sixteen.
The west wall, three feet from the left, has seven.
The north wall, five feet from the left, has ten.
The south wall, six feet from the left, has four.
Counting carefully, it must be excavated and resumed within three days.
——
"This is the location and number of Milota in the jade vein." Zhang Qixun explained.
There was a little inquiry in the little brother's eyes.
Zhang Qixun explained with a smile: "I didn't know this at first, but I had a very strange dream last night, as if there was a person who had been talking about these things in my head, and my consciousness seemed to follow that person through this cave, combined with some of the things I had heard from the elders before, so I would understand it so clearly."
The little brother looked at the alkali powder bottle that Zhang Qixun was carrying in his hand, and then looked at the dark green jade vein, "Go out?"
Zhang Qixun understood what he meant, "We can't go out yet, there are less than seven days left before the two of them come back, and our location is 108,000 miles away from the area of the lake, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to rush to the shore to meet them in such a short time."
"Moreover, since that slumped shoulder can calculate the two of us, it is very likely that they will be tricked if they are naïve, so it is better to wait here."
The little brother nodded, "Okay."
In the past few days of waiting, Zhang Qixun told the little brother everything he knew and could say for the time being.
Although the little brother didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Qixun knew that his memory had recovered almost forty percent.
On this day, in the small pool on the edge of the rocky beach where I found my little brother before, a baby fish less than half a palm-sized size came in along the gap at the bottom of the pool.
Zhang Qixun was immediately happy.
As soon as he stretched out his hand into the water, he caught the little baby fish.
This should be the fish that the fat man used to pass the news and guide Wu Xiaoxie in the original plot.
Eating self-heating rice and canned meat jerky every day, Zhang Qixun is tired of eating crookedly, and finally came to a fresh one, and there is no reason to let him go.
Zhang Qixun made a small fire with solid alcohol, disemboweled, cleaned it up, put it in an empty canning box and boiled it, made two bowls of fish soup, and then quickly extinguished the fire.
The warmth of these Milota was very sensitive, and in just a short moment, a little shadow of shadow had already appeared in the dark green jade vein, but as soon as the fire was extinguished, those black shadows disappeared again.
Zhang Qixun is extremely glad that he has a space golden finger, even if he can't make a fire, he can also warm the baby on his body to maintain his basic body temperature.
In addition to being idle, the two of them can also use a small blade to repair the stubble, anyway, Zhang Qixun has never seen the appearance of a little brother with a stubble on his chin.
What Zhang Qixun didn't expect was that Wu Xiaoxie and the fat man would appear so suddenly, and two days earlier than the time in the original plot, and he and the little brother didn't notice any movement at all.
As soon as they woke up, Zhang Qixun and the little brother habitually went to check the cave with a pool, and saw two people lying on the edge of the gravel, it was Wu Xiaoxie and the fat man.
Quickly take the two to the dry cave where they are hiding, and then start rescuing.
Wu Xiaoxie and the two of them had nothing left except a set of diving suits, and the oxygen cylinder must have been removed from the collapsed shoulders.
There are still marks of being scratched by knives on the two of them, and there is a wisp of bruises on the back of their necks, which seems to have fought with the collapsed shoulder.
Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand and pressed the stomachs of the two of them, but he didn't drink much water.
The fat man spat out two mouthfuls of turbid water, his eyes were already misty and open, and just as he was about to speak, there was a heart-rending cough.
Zhang Qixun hurriedly patted him on the back to help smooth his breath, and finally eased up
Come on.
"You two asses, what's going on? That old man lied to me and naïve, saying that you are gone." The fat man snorted angrily, "The fat man knew that he was talking nonsense, so he pounced on him and beat him up, but it was a little bit of a fire, so that the stinky old man seized the opportunity to sneak attack."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Qixun listened to something wrong, "The shoulders collapsed took the initiative to appear in front of you?"
"That's right!" The fat man said angrily, "That guy actually wanted to carry out a sneak attack while we were asleep, but the clouds reminded us that I didn't sleep at night with Tianzhen, so we waited for Ya to come to the net. But the guy was as nimble as a monkey and let him run away."
Zhang Jixun frowned, "Have you seen Panma?"
The fat man shook his head, "No, it was the clouds that brought us up the mountain."
Zhang Qixun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, his shoulders had always been hidden in the dark, and now he suddenly jumped out, and he always felt that something was wrong.
"What about the clouds and Gui?" Zhang Qixun's intuition should have been on Panma, he wanted to wipe out all the insiders, so he appeared in the sun without fear.
"Don't worry." The fat man patted him, "Before we went into the water, we had already let Ah Gui and Yun Cai go down the mountain, and Wang Mengmeng and Lao Pan's people took their family outside Banai."
"That's good." Zhang Qixun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat something first." Zhang Qixun got the fat man some food, "When you wake up, we'll go out from here."
Two hours later, Wu Xiaoxie also woke up and listened to Zhang Qixun tell him the ins and outs of the matter, and he was immediately angry and cursed.
"Dogmuyu, you said you didn't hide it from me and the fat man, look, the little brother has been damaged by you." Wu Xiaoxie said angrily.
The corners of Zhang Qixun's mouth twitched, he glanced at the innocent little brother, and helplessly supported his forehead, "Yes, my pot, rest for a while, let's go out from here."
"How do you get out?" Wu Xiaoxie was puzzled, "This cave seems to be completely closed."
The fat man also said, "Yes, the fat man just turned around, and these green stones and jade are very strong."
Zhang Qixun explained, "These jade veins are not ordinary jade veins, but are formed by the condensation of mucus secreted from the body of a special creature, which can travel through the mountains by softening the jade veins."
"And this creature called Milota will be attracted by the temperature on our bodies, my little brother and I have been in the cave for so long, and the things in the jade vein are probably about to come out."
"Wait a minute." Wu Xiaoxie and both of them were a little confused, "What Milota, you tell me carefully."
Zhang Qixun picked the key points and spoke carefully, and after listening, Wu Xiaoxie and the two gasped together.
Zhang Qixun took out the tools of alkali powder, protective clothing, and pickaxe from the space.
"Come on, brothers, we're going to have a big fight."
Zhang Qixun distributed the things to them, helped the three of them put on protective clothing, and covered all the skin on their bodies.
The shadowy black shadow in the jade vein was a little clearer than before.
Because once you enter the jade vein, the surroundings are all wrapped in mountains, so you can only go all the way in, and Zhang Qixun can't judge the right direction, so he can only take one step at a time.
According to the marks on the ground, the fat man swung his pickaxe to knock open one of the jade veins with a small number of Milota, and a dark green hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed at the fat man's face.
"Get out of the way, fat man!" Zhang Qixun let out a low snort, blocked the front, and squirted violently at the exposed part of Milota.
With a click, the hand split into several pieces and fell to the ground and turned into green juice.
The shadow in the jade vein directly twisted, roared and rushed out, facing a cloud of white powder, which turned into green water in a few seconds, and the black-haired snake hidden inside bowed down and bit Wu Xiaoxie with a flick.
The little brother on the side quickly pulled out the black gold ancient knife and slashed it, and the black-haired snake was cut in half.
A large humanoid depression was vacant in front of him, and the sound of clattering in the mountain was even more distant
It's close.
Zhang Qi turned around and saw that Milota behind him and on the top of the cave was about to come out.
"We've got to hurry." Zhang Qixun urged.
The fat man screamed, "Damn, why is this thing running so fast!"
After saying that, he waved the pickaxe desperately, and clicked at the jade vein in front of him.
The little brother and Wu Xiaoxie were guarding the rear, and two of the nearby Milota had already come out, and they rushed towards the four of them with a hideous green face.
The white and empty eye sockets were extremely weird, and they were completely attacked by mechanical brute force, and Wu Xiaoxie and Little Brother solved one by one.
Zhang Qixun and the fat man cooperated to melt a distance in front, and then immediately turned back to help the little brother and them dispose of the remaining Milota.
"Let's go!" Zhang Qixun pushed Wu Xiaoxie and the others into the hole behind him, and then raised his hand and threw a few Molotov cocktails into the hole drilled out by Milota.
With a bang, the moment the incendiary bottle touched the ground, it burst into flames, and the flames soared into the sky in an instant, attracting the attention of the surrounding Milothar.
The cracking sound of the cave wall continued to sound, and Zhang Qixun and the four of them took the opportunity to drill into the melting hole.
The duration of a burning bottle was about fifteen seconds, and Zhang Qixun crackled and smashed it, and those Milota rushed to the heat source to pupa away, delaying the four of them for a lot of time.
In a narrow place, the restrictions on Milota are even greater, and with the fact that they are well prepared and well-equipped, it is impossible for the situation of nine deaths and one life in the original plot to happen again.
If he collapsed his shoulders, he wanted to break his head, and he couldn't have expected that they would have such a big and superb plug-in as Zhang Qixun.
