Kunlun Mountain is the largest mountain system in country Z, also known as the ancestor of ten thousand mountains, with an average altitude of 5,500 meters to 6,000 meters, the mountain range is steep, continuous, across the wide area, the mountain climate is changeable, and most areas are rare places for people.

The footprints of the old five left a long deep ditch on the thick snow, I slowly moved my feet along his footprints, I don't like to climb the mountain since I was a child, this climbing the snow mountain is undoubtedly to take half a small life, I was out of breath and shouted to the old five in front of me, "Old five, you have grown a camel lung, climb for so long, why don't you feel tired at all." Ouch, you can't wait for me slowly, I'm almost exhausted! ”

Lao Wu turned around and scolded with a smile, "If you don't say a few words, I don't know how much oxygen you will save!" It's just 4,500 meters high. ”

"Four thousand five hundred meters." I looked up at the watch that showed the altitude, and said, "It's good that I can make it this far." To tell you the truth, I was flustered and short of breath when I passed three thousand eight years ago! ”

"Damn, I found that you went to the big sinkhole, and your physical strength is obviously not as good as before!" Lao Wu said unashamedly in front.

I scolded back, "Nonsense, you've been lying in bed to recuperate, and we've only been resting for three days, so you're really standing and talking without back pain!" ”

Lao Wu bowed his body and waited for me in front, took out his infrared telescope and glanced at the top of the mountain in the distance, turned back to me and said, "Hey, yes, you said that this mountain doesn't look very far, why have we climbed so long and still so far?" ”

I hurriedly rushed forward a few steps, and finally grabbed Lao Wu's clothes, stabilized my body, and took out the binoculars I was carrying, and glanced at the top of the mountain we were going to, except for white or white, there were no artificial clues.

I stood in place, took out a thermos cup and drank a few sips of hot water to replenish my strength, at this time Lao Wu said, "I shouldn't have followed you just now, I don't know how much easier it is to cross the mountainside!" ”

"Isn't this your going to take care of me, the sick and wounded!" Lao Wu said on the side, "Okay, don't pretend, I think such a big emotion is because of the reason for separating you from Ai Qin's little beauty!" ”

"Ahh I gaged.

"I don't know how the whole son is doing, whether they have successfully arrived at the designated place!" Lao Wu said.

I quipped, "It's so impractical to get there!" Come to think of it, our mission went according to our plan! ”

Lao Wu also took out the thermos flask and took a sip of hot water, "Yes, that's it, rest in place for another five minutes, and then let's go forward!" ”

I looked back at the long, deep snow marks we left behind me, and my thoughts couldn't help but go back to five days ago:

After listening to the old patriarch's words, although he was "crazy" in the end, his crazy words that couldn't tell the truth from the fake still shocked our four fragile souls! The others are not clear, but we also have a general understanding of the ins and outs of some of the so-called four families.

It was the morning of the next day when we returned to the headquarters, and the four of us tacitly concealed the appearance of Xiao Fan and the old patriarch, and then wrote the mission briefing of our trip to the Tiankeng in the report sheet with some reservations, and the superiors directly included our mission briefing in the database without too much suspicion.

That night, Lao Wu walked into my and Quanzi's dormitory with a few bottles of beer, and before my Quanzi could react, he hugged me and Quanzi and scolded, "Two stinky boys, I heard that you have suffered a lot this time, hey, you two are not fucking still alive, live well!" ”

We broke free of the arms of the fifth child, looked up and down, and confirmed that it was the real fifth child, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, this time there was no old five to participate in the task, the four of us were almost wiped out, looking at the old five in front of us, I and the whole son were speechless for a long time.

Lao Wu patted us on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why are you like two girls, don't tell me, wait a minute, you are still ready to hug me and cry!" ”

Quanzi gave Lao Wu a punch, and as a result, he pushed the unsuspecting Lao Wu down on the chair at once, and Lao Wu feigned anger to counterattack Quanzi, and Quanzi smiled at this time, "Lao Wu, Lao Wu, you are finally normal!" ”

Lao Wu put the wine on the table and said, "I don't like to hear this, when have I been abnormal, let me tell you, the last time the Grand Canyon was an accident, this is called overturning a big boat in the gutter!" ”

I saw that Lao Wu's speech and spirit were not at all the same as when we came from the Grand Canyon, and asked, "Lao Wu, this doctor confirmed that you have no symptoms?" ”

"Hey, what do you think those doctors can say, say I'm hysterical, I'm confused by something!" Lao Wu said a little nonchalantly.

I looked at the fifth child in front of me, but I thought of a very important sentence that the old man said: the person who can enter the sinkhole must be a person who has a certain relationship with the sinkhole, that is to say, only people with certain physical qualities can enter, otherwise, it is impossible to come out alive after entering.

The four of us are because our bodies have certain characteristics, so that we can come and go freely in the sinkhole, in order to swim out of the cold pool alive, why did the fifth get this so-called "hysteria" just before we entered the big sinkhole, could it be that the fifth actually knew the secret of the sinkhole for a long time?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help but quietly observe the fifth child who was bragging with Quanzi, looking at his appearance, there should be no need to hide anything from us, but through Xiao Fan's incident, I instantly felt that no one around me could let me believe it easily.

"Ah, Dezi, what the hell are you in a daze, in order to celebrate your coming back alive, this beer is specially approved, come, hurry up and drink!" The fifth child raised the cup in front of my eyes, and I took it and touched it with him.

After a while, Ai Qin and Ah Fang also rushed over, and the five of them couldn't help but sigh when they met.

We had a simple party in the dormitory, Quanzi was called away early by the infirmary for injections because of his injuries, and the remaining four people ate and drank at this humble party.

I know that Ah Fang and Ai Qin, like me, are full of doubts about Lao Wu's illness.

The task came down after three days, and since our instructor Lu Qitian didn't know why he went, this time Lao Wu personally assigned us the task.

We watched a briefing on the mission in the conference room, and another 10 explorers entered the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains to explore for mineral resources, and lost contact with the relevant departments a day earlier.

There is a photo in the mission briefing with a white snow field in the background, and there is a looming shadow of a behemoth on the snow. Other than that, there are no other valuable clues.

In addition, there are a few aerial footprints and map annotations, which we printed out and put in the marching backpack for later use.

This time it was easier than the previous missions, because we knew exactly the name, gender, age, and appearance of the person we were searching for. Lao Wu said that these ten explorers were foreigners who belonged to our special search team, and several of them were instructors who had survived in the extreme cold and snow in the early days of our arrival.

Quanzi joked that the teacher should be better than the student, but this time it was our students who were going to search for and rescue the teacher, and everyone was noncommittal.

The helicopter could only take us to the snow-capped pass, because the air flow inside is unpredictable, and the fog is so thick and the visibility is very low, we are already grateful to be able to get us to this pass, because the altitude of this mountain pass has reached 3,000 meters, and it would have taken us a whole day to climb the mountain by ourselves, and the weather must be clear.

After stepping into the snow-capped mountains, Lao Wu took the lead in the forefront, we have the most advanced positioning system, as well as a detailed military map for reference, so as not to lose direction for a while, then Ah Fang second, Quanzi third, Ai Qin fourth, I finally lined up in a line, with a distance of five meters between each person, the purpose of such a queue is to prevent ice gaps covered by snow, and the second is to have a safe cover range between each other.

Before entering the mountain, we conducted a series of analyses of the vague shadow on the snow, and finally unanimously concluded that it must be some kind of large wild creature, but in this snow-capped mountain, except for the legendary Kunlun Mountain savages in the Himalayas, there should be no such large creatures, after all, the food needed by this creature is completely insecure in this snow-capped mountain.

But as for the source of this photo and why the superiors gave us this photo, we do not know anything.

Lao Wu shouted while panting in front, "Look into the distance as much as possible, don't look close, don't keep staring at the snow, be careful of snow blindness." Although we are wearing protective goggles, we must not take it lightly, Quanzi and Ah Fang pay attention to the left, and Dezi and Ai Qin pay attention to the right. ”

The four behind us let out an "oh" at the same time, and Ai Qin glanced back at me at this time and whispered, "Are you also silently observing the fifth brother?" ”

I also whispered, "What, do you think he's weird?" ”

Ai Qin shook his head and continued to whisper, "I don't know, it feels weird!" ”

I replied, "Keep an eye on yourself and protect yourself!" ”

At this time, the rope on my waist suddenly tightened, and I looked up to see that the fifth child and Ah Fang in front of me had disappeared, and the whole son lay on the ground, and grabbed the ice axe in his hand, which had been deeply inserted into the ice, carving a deep mark.

Quanzi looked at Ai Qin and me, who were still stunned, gritted his teeth and grinned, "Why are you two still stunned, hurry up and save people!" ”
