Chapter 37: Snow Mountain Adventure
"Gu Qi!"
Wei Nanyu's tone was undisguised surprise, she thought that after falling into the sea, it would be a solo mission, and she thought that it would take a lot of trouble to find Gu Qi, who would have thought that he would appear here out of thin air?
She patted Gu Qi on the shoulder a little anxiously, and her eyes fell on his closed lips.
Gu Qi's face was pale, his hair was messily attached to his forehead because of sweat or something else, his lips were not bloody, and there was not even a trace of temperature on his body, if it weren't for his weak breathing, Wei Nanyu would even think that he was dead.
At this time, Gu Qi was sinking into a nightmare, he kept replaying the scene of Wei Nanyu falling into the water in his mind, in the dream, he tried his best to hold her, and a few times he even touched the corner of Wei Nanyi's clothes, but who knew that he still watched her fall down.
Then consciousness returned to before the ice broke.
"Can't I really save her......"
"Gu Qi? Gu Qi, wake up, are you having a nightmare? Wake up! ”
Inside the cave, Wei Nanyu gently shook Gu Qi's shoulder. Just now, she wanted to get up to check the surrounding environment, but Gu Qi grabbed her wrist tightly and refused to let go, so in desperation, she could only sit back and call his name softly.
Gu Qi suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice in his nightmare, this voice seemed to have always existed in his dream, he tried to open his eyes to see who the person in front of him was, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face - Wei Nanyu.
At this time, she was looking at herself with a worried face: "You finally woke up?" You okay? ”
Gu Qi barely suppressed the urge to hug her into his arms, and after leaving Wei Nanyi's arms, he pretended to easily tidy up his clothes: "I'm fine, don't worry, how did you find here?" ”
The two exchanged information for a while, and the guard Nan Yu knew that Gu Qi fell off the ice and fell directly into this cave that day, and then fainted, he had never seen any beach and facelings.
"Did you find anything in this cave?" At this time, Gu Qi had completely sobered up, and his expression had returned to his previous calmness.
"I found you before I could check after I fell."
Wei Nanyu shook his head, and the two of them helped each other to get up and began to check the situation in the cave.
The straw on the ground was only laid at the entrance of the cave outside, and there was a path in the cave for only two people, which was extremely dark and slippery, and the road was full of stone pits of different depths, and Wei Nanyu almost fell when he stepped on it several times.
As the two walked along the path, they found that they had suddenly come to a larger stone cave, and more importantly, they found traces of a burning bonfire in the center!
Gu Qi stepped forward and touched the ashes on the ground, and shook his head at Wei Nanyu: "It's already cool, and it still has some moisture, it should have been lit a long time ago." ”
Wei Nanyu went to look in the other direction, but found a diary that was mostly soaked under a stone, and her eyes lit up after opening it: "Gu Qi, I have found it!" Come on! ”
The two of them got together and opened the diary in their hands through the sunlight revealed in the gaps, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they felt.
Wei Nanyi's fingers swiped over the blurred handwriting: "On the first day, I discussed with a few teammates to explore the snowy mountain, everyone was very happy, a few people are professional mountaineering enthusiasts, they have wanted to climb this snowy mountain for a long time, so we gathered at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the next day......"
They continued to read and found that it was an expedition diary, a group of adventure enthusiasts gathered together to climb the snowy mountain, everything was normal in the records of the first three days, and the diary writer even carefully described the shock of several people when they saw the sunrise, but all this changed on the fourth day.
Gu Qi didn't know when he took the diary in his hand, and his eyes fell on the three lines of messy handwriting in the middle.
[It seems that something happened, when we climbed to the halfway point of the mountain, we found that one of the team members disappeared without a trace, and everyone unanimously decided to go back to look for it, but found that the compass suddenly failed, and we couldn't find the direction, so we could only spin in place. 】
[Another team member disappeared, everyone was scared, fortunately we found a cave to stop and repair, but why did people start to get injured inexplicably? 】
[It's terrible, the atmosphere of despair is hanging in everyone, we can't get out, we even met ......]
The sentence was not finished, but only left a deep scratch on the paper.
"What happened to them?"
Wei Nanyu felt a little chilled, although there were only a few words in the diary, but he could roughly guess that all six of them had encountered accidents, and the corpses disappeared one after another, from the beginning of the full expectation to despair, what did they experience?
"The snowdrift where we hid before seems to have about six corpses inside." Gu Qi thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Wei Nanyu and spoke, "They were all piled up together by that person and became prey, and they were buried in this snow field forever. ”
"If they don't come......"
"No if," Gu Qi snapped and closed the diary, "Even if it's not them, it will be someone else, this will never change, our mission doesn't allow us to stay here for too long, let's go!" ”
The two sighed and continued to move forward, Wei Nanyu was behind Gu Qi in front, the two of them looked at the stone wall and found a slight bulge, and when they pressed it, there was a loud noise behind them, and when they turned around, they found that a huge labyrinth wall appeared.
"There's a pattern here!"
After groping around, Wei Nanyu found a relief carved on the wall, the pattern is the same as the labyrinth wall, it is a stone pillar of different shades.
Gu Qi frowned and touched one of them, only to find that it was actually active!
"That's right," Gu Qi took a step back, "If we want the mission to continue, we can only make a fuss about this maze, these small stone pillars can all move, try it against the maze wall first." ”
After Gu Qi finished speaking, he carefully pressed down the stone pillar on the maze wall according to the relief, and there was a "click" sound from inside, and the sound became more and more dense as his movements accelerated, and soon he restored the pattern in the upper left corner
The two of them took a few steps back and looked around vigilantly, and soon felt the temperature drop sharply, and they exhaled a large mist as they spoke, and their fingers gradually froze and lost consciousness.
"We can't go on like this, we have to quickly discover the secrets of the labyrinth, or we will have to freeze to death here!"
The instinct to survive made them instantly full of motivation, and the action of pressing the stone pillar was unconsciously much faster, and the follow-up pattern was quickly put together, but the temperature did not stop dropping, and the water droplets on the surrounding walls condensed into ice.
Wei Nanyu and Gu Qi couldn't help but gradually fall into despair, just as they huddled together to prepare for the arrival of death, the walls began to shake, a diary fell out of the gap, and a large stone fell from the top of the cave, and it looked like it was about to fall on their heads!
