Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fruitless

Zheng Lide and Tang Muyi rested for one night and ate compressed biscuits and wild vegetables. This night was still a black hole, with the occasional sound of birds and beasts, but there were people keeping vigil, and it was peaceful.

Zheng Lide left a lot of marks along the way, the number of rescue personnel in this rescue operation is not large, and a slight accident may also cause the whole team to lose contact, and then it will be troublesome for Deputy Head Feng.

The large trees were intertwined, and the thick roots and vines that exposed the ground became obstacles, and it was difficult for the team to maintain their original neat formation. Tang Muzhi walked in front, and Heiguan'er and his teammate He Jingye were behind him.

For the sake of convenience, Zheng Lide transferred Tang Muzhi to the same row as him, and about two hours ago, the team's compass began to fail.

The compass malfunctioned while walking in the primeval forest - this is really not a good sign, Zheng Lide hurriedly used a satellite phone to contact the outside world, but fortunately he could still get through, so he was relieved.

It is true that the compass is out of order, but with Zheng Lide's experience, he will not lose his way, as long as the sun can still rise, with the marks along the way, he is confident that he will bring all the team members back.

It's just that a long snake attacked Zheng Lide halfway, but fortunately, Tang Muzhi's eyes were quick and grabbed the snake's seven inches, which saved his life.

It turns out that this snake is the "sharp-nosed pit viper" - that is, commonly known as the five-step snake, which is nearly two meters long, and its poison can rot the flesh, which is very terrifying. This was grabbed by Tang Muzhi, and his tail was tightly twisted, and Tang Muzhi had to pinch it to death.

"It's not the right time!" Zheng Lide was shocked and said: "There shouldn't be a five-step snake at this season, they should all be hibernating, three months a year, what's going on...... Thank you so much, Comrade Don Jr. ”

Tang Muzhi listened to Zheng Lide's words, and was also a little confused, the hibernation of snakes generally ranges from heavy snow to the sting of the second year, three to four months, how can this regular thing be violated? He pressed his thumb against the snake's body, and suddenly he had a thought.

"Camp Commander Zheng, speaking of which, it seems that the temperature here is good."

Zheng Lide took off his hat, and there was already a piece of sweat underneath. "We should go up, the altitude should be higher than before......"

"It's getting warmer." He Jingye took off his gloves, "I don't freeze my hands when I rub the gun." ”

Zheng Lide and Tang Muzhi looked at each other, and they didn't know how to explain for a while.

"Further on, it's only a few kilometers."

By noon, the surrounding horizon gradually widened, and the shadows of the mountains reflected on the shore of the clear lake had reached the lake where the lost soldiers had finally arrived.

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the wind and waves are calm...... Isn't it there? Zheng Lide looked at Tang Muzhi with some hesitation.

Tang Muzhi replied affirmatively that in the enemy's impression, they had lost the traces of the soldiers here.

"It's so remote, I didn't expect them to be able to chase such a place." He Jingye sighed, "Just run for your life, what are you trying to do?" ”

Tang Muzhi didn't know, he now guessed that the lost group of soldiers had actually recaptured at least one antique, which attracted the pursuit of the villains, but unfortunately the strong man who was shot by him two days ago didn't know the reason.

"Do you have any impressions next?" Zheng Lide asked.

"I'm not impressed."

"Are there any details?"

"Not anymore."

"Then you can rest, and leave the search to the soldiers......"

Tang Muzhi naturally didn't feel that he deserved such preferential treatment: "Let the soldiers who kept vigil last night sleep, and I'll look for someone." ”

The closer he got to the lake, the colder it became, Tang Muzhi was engrossed, and put his hand into the lake to test it, it was very cold, and it was almost deep into the bone marrow of people.

"Strange things...... Tang Mu's heart is worthy of Shennongjia, since ancient times, wonderful and strange legends continue, and now come to such a strange place, obviously the surrounding is as warm as spring, but the lake is so cold to the bone.

The water of this lake is not muddy, and the visibility is not low, but the sky is cloudy, and the view is not clear. Tang Muzhi launched his fleshy eyes, the lake was bottomless, but he couldn't see a fish, and what was even more wonderful was that the leaves on the lake in the distance were motionless, as if they were stuck there, but the lake water was constantly undulating.

The soldiers searched around, but they didn't even find any footprints, which is really strange, even in the primeval forest before, that group of people had traces to follow, how did they get here there was no trace of man-made at all.

Tang Muzhi thought that this would not be a "qi situation" similar to Qinling, right? If that's the case, it's dangerous to continue.

The so-called gas bureau is a closed and fixed pattern formed by gas in a certain time and place. To put it simply, the air flow outside is open and spreads and invades wantonly, while the air flow in the gas bureau operates according to special laws, once there is a gas pattern that abides by other rules to break into the air bureau, it will be impacted by the air flow in this gas bureau, teaching you to adapt to its rules.

Therefore, this place is very different from the outside world, and there may not be any change in the four seasons, and it will be the same in the past and in the future.

And the danger that Tang Muzhi said is because people are also gas patterns, and they are extremely delicate and complex patterns, once their own patterns are broken, the past state is affected and cut...... Then it means that the person's life has come to an end.

However, it remains to be considered whether this is a gas situation or not, after all, sometimes this anomaly can also be explained by science, for example, the leaves that are still on the surface of the lake just now, it is also possible that the waves are oscillating up and down, and the water does not move in the direction of the waves, and the leaves naturally do not follow the waves.

The water may seem to follow the waves, but it is actually spinning in circles. People are like this, Zheng Lide and his entourage trekked through mountains and rivers, went through hard work, but in the end they didn't find anything here, they were just going around in circles in place - thinking of this, the soldiers all showed a little decadence.

"Look for it again...... I want to look for ...... again" Zheng Lide watched with a telescope by the lake for a whole afternoon, but after all, he didn't get anything.

He is not a person who gives up easily, all the previous signs indicate that the lost fighters are going in this direction, and when they get here, it is impossible not to find anything.

As it got dark, Zheng Lide sat by the lake, holding a telescope in his hand. Tang Muzhi knew his thoughts, if he wanted to see people alive and die, he would see corpses, let alone a dozen people, could Shennongjia still swallow them alive?

The team was stationed on the spot, and at night, Tang Muzhi was worried about Zheng Lide, so he sat by the lake with him.

Silence for a night – Adults don't easily confide in children, especially when adults are depressed, silence is better than complaining.

The next day passed quickly, and there was still no progress.

But that night, Zheng Lide told Tang Muzhi that there was a problem with the satellite phone, and he could no longer connect to the outside world, and he could not get any instructions.

"Shall we go back then?" Tang Muzhi tilted his head to look at him.

Zheng Lide frowned and did not speak.

……

"We're going to get into the water." On the third day, Zheng Lide muttered. His whole person is even more vicissitudes.

The supplies are only enough to fold back, and there is no need to worry too much about this, and you can still hunt game without compressed biscuits - this is an emergency avoidance.

For the first time, there was opposition in the ranks.

In fact, except for Tang Muzhi, everyone else who was present basically grew up swimming in the Yangtze River, but the water here had been tried two days ago, and it was just a little deeper, and there was a set of diving suits and oxygen cylinders in the team. The main thing is that it's cold, and the temperature of this water is unusually low, it must be very low below freezing, but it just doesn't freeze. In this case, even if Tang Muzhi himself can swim, and there is a saint stealing his body, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for a long time.

The voice of opposition was made by Tang Muzhi, and the other fighters were now silent.

Brother Xun said that if there is a person's proposition, he is praised and promoted, and he is opposed, and he is urged to struggle, and he cries out among the living, and the living do not react, neither agree nor oppose, such as being in a boundless wasteland, and there is nothing to be taken off guard against, what kind of sadness is this, so I take what I feel as lonely.

Now loneliness belongs to everyone except Tang Muzhi, he is still the most pure and comfortable one, but to pull people's hearts back from the boundless wasteland, this is by no means something he can do alone.
