Chapter 80: The Cliff Plank Road (Part I)

Luckily, I didn't fall asleep, and I quickly got out of my sleeping bag, picked up my gun, and got out of the tent. It was still dark outside, but the wind had stopped and the fog had lifted, and at this time, Ah Fang, Quan Zi, Lao Wu, and Ai Qin were busy looking for the guy around the camp.

Quanzi raised the severed rope in his hand at me and said, "I don't know where this guy is hiding a knife, but I searched his body very carefully." ”

"It's impossible to strip and search when the clothes are thick, so it's normal to be sloppy by him." I said.

Under the flashlight, I saw a series of footsteps extending to the camp above, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't look for it, this guy must be up." ”

At this time, the fifth child waved his hand at me and said, "We have already discovered that there is still a shadow of someone on it!" ”

"What?" I hurriedly ran up the slope, only to see a dilapidated tent that had long been blown by the strong wind, leaving only a few skeletons, and some of the remaining supplies had long been drowned by the flying snow blown by the cold wind, with only some faint traces. Some traces of blood and messiness on the snow are now gone.

"Found it!" At this time, Ah Fang, who was looking for clues on the side, shouted, I ran over with Lao Wu, only to see a row of brand-new footprints on the snow stretching to the edge of the cliff more than 40 meters in front of our camp.

"Huh! What's going on? Jeonko poked his head out and glanced at the bottomless cliff.

"Did he jump from here?" I also thought it was incredible.

Ah Fang consulted and searched on the side, "There is more than one person in this footprint, it seems that they are those mercenaries from before!" ”

Aichen said, "It's not that when we slept, they sleepwalked collectively. And then jumped off the cliff from here one by one at night? ”

"Maybe they were scared by that thing and fell down from here in a panic?" ”

Lao Wu pondered for a while on the side and said, "In my opinion, there should be a road under this cliff. ”

"What, this straight ice cliff is like a glass where it came from!" We were all taken aback.

"You see, they didn't leave here with very messy steps, and the place near the cliff was with the toe of their shoes facing inward, and if they jumped or fell, it didn't make sense." Lao Wu said on the edge of the cliff lying on his stomach.

"The toe of the shoe is pointing inward, which means that they are downhill!" He continued, "If that were the case, then these people should have had a plan beforehand, or they wouldn't have chosen to camp in this location. Okay, it's useless for us to analyze the blind here, wait until dawn, go back and go back to sleep! ”

So far, we had no choice but to return to our camp in a huff.

At this time, Quanzi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, no! Is their footsteps to create an illusion, the real purpose is to lure us out and then serve it in a pot, what is it called turning the tiger away from the mountain! ”

"Go, go, Quanzi, don't be surprised by this. If that's the case, we've just been served in a pot, and we're going to have to wait until then? I couldn't help but curse.

We returned to the camp, where we were still sleepy, and it was only four o'clock in the morning when we glanced at our watch.

"Now that the wind has stopped, I guess the scenery from the top of the mountain is beautiful at dawn!" Ai Qin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "At this moment, I suddenly thought that the sky would soon light up." ”

"Yo! Tut-tut! At what point, our Ai Qin classmates have a romantic girlish heart! Quanzi joked.

"Get out of the way!" Ai Qin scolded.

"I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go to their previous camp and look for clues!" Ah Fang proposed.

"What's there to find in a pile of corpses, I'm going to go back to sleep!" Because I've just been looking for it, I'm not very interested right now. The fifth child also said that he would go to rest, but the three of them went to the camp above to look for it with great interest.

When I woke up, the sky was slightly brighter. Although the temperature of this snow-capped mountain is extremely low, fortunately, our equipment is not bad, with a thermostatic sleeping bag, a self-heating cup, and a heart rate sensor on the watch, so that it will not have a high reaction.

The three men who had searched for clues on it also returned, but unfortunately they searched for several hours and found nothing but some of the equipment and weapons they had haphazardly buried in the snowdrift on one side.

Looking at the slightly disappointed expressions of the three of them, I yawned in satisfaction. At this moment, the fog on the snow-capped mountains has almost dissipated, and the reddish sun in the distance can be seen through the thin clouds.

I quipped, "Comrades-in-arms, you see, the sun will always pass through the dark clouds, and the light will soon shine on the snow-capped mountains, come, let's look at this beautiful scenery together." ”

The three of them were not preoccupied with the beautiful scenery, and they all yawned and began to pack their bags.

After packing their luggage, everyone began to struggle with the next route.

Quanzi took the map and drew it with a pencil for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason. Ah Fang was indignant with the cut rope in his hand. Ah Fang took a small book and drew the trend of the mountains in front of him, while the fifth child on the side unhurriedly packed up his tent.

I stared at the severed rope on the snow, and then at the old five who was cleaning up the tent, and I suddenly remembered the change in the captive's expression when he saw the old five last night, and the old five went to inquire about the group of mercenaries last night, but it didn't take long for him to go and the commotion above subsided.

And then there is the half of the rope in front of him, that guy was obviously searched by Quanzi, how could he still have a dagger hidden on his body? Could it be that the fifth child has anything to do with this group of mercenaries?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I stared at the fifth child and asked, "Hey, fifth brother, why are you packing up your tent, we haven't even figured out where to go?" ”

"I'm going down and have a look?" Lao Wu replied nonchalantly.

"Go down?" I glanced back at the cliff not far away, which was not as terrifying as I had imagined, but it was at least two hundred meters deep. Coupled with the fact that there is still some thin fog in this cliff, it is difficult to see what is at the bottom of the cliff.

I went up and pressed Lao Wu's backpack and said, "The rope we brought is only more than 100 meters, which is not enough at all." Besides, I've just seen the traces on the edge of the cliff, and those of them didn't climb the rock with ropes at all, nine times out of ten they jumped straight down, they must have brought downhill equipment, you can't go down so blindly? ”

Lao Wu took away my hand on top of his backpack and smiled at me, "Dezi! Who said I was going to go downhill? ”

"Ah, you're going to jump!"

"yes, I'm going to jump!" Lao Wu said!

At this time, the three people behind all stood up and said in unison, "You're crazy!" ”

Lao Wu explained, "I'm not crazy! I just noticed a detail that you didn't notice, but I can't be sure now, so I thought I'd try it myself! If you succeed, you follow me, and if I fail, you find your own way down the mountain. ”

"If you fail, you'll fall to your death!" ”

Lao Wu said, "Everyone believe in me, I will definitely succeed!" ”

Quanzi couldn't help but scold, "What the hell did you find!" God is mysterious, if you don't tell it, we won't let you die! ”

Lao Wu simply sat down on the ground and said to us, "You guys go and pack your things first, and I'll tell you when you're done!" ”

I stared at every movement and every look of the fifth child, but there was nothing wrong with him for me to discover. I had to follow the other three back to the tent to pack my things! I had just put the first thing in my marching backpack when suddenly a bad feeling hit me, fuck, we were in the hands of the fifth!

I hurriedly rushed out of the tent, only to see that the fifth child had reached the edge of the cliff, and I shouted, "Fifth brother, don't jump, this is not the time to be a hero." ”

The fifth said loudly, "If I die, you will go back the way you came, and don't go down!" With that, he jumped and disappeared to the edge of the cliff.

I ran over to grab the fifth, but there were several meters between us, and I could only watch the fifth fall down, and when we reached the edge of the cliff, we found that the fifth was joking with us, only to see him holding a black rope in one hand and an ice axe in the other, and his whole body was fixed on the almost right-angled ice surface by relying on a pair of special rivets on his feet to grasp the skates.

Lao Wu's body was like a nimble monkey, quickly sliding down on this mirrored ice cliff, and soon disappeared into the dense fog below the cliff.

Quanzi, who came from behind, couldn't believe everything in front of him at all, and couldn't help but scold, "This old five is crazy, it's too dangerous to walk on the ice at such a risk!" ”

"He must have found some clue to take such a risk!" Aichen said.

"This?" Ah Fang stretched out his hands to probe the air above the cliff and said.

"Hey, when did this rope appear, why didn't we find it last night!" At this time, Ah Fang found a thick black rope on the ice wall, which was fixed to the ice wall by several fixed lock sleeves, but it was already covered with a layer of frost, which was really difficult to find in the night last night.

"Didn't this old five dare to conclude who left this rope, so he ventured down to explore the way?" Aichen said.

"Old Fifth has been weird since we found out about his identity, I don't know if you feel it!" Ah Fang said.

"Feel indebted!" I said, "He feels like he's betrayed the trust we put in him!" ”

"You guys don't babble, look at the fifth child, why is he untying the ropes!" Jeonko said.

At this time, I had already taken out the telescope, and I could see it very clearly from a distance of several tens of meters below.

I saw Lao Wu standing on a raised table at this time, and if you look closely, there is a hidden road on this table.

"There's a path on the ice wall below!" I said.

"What a speechless!" "Who will build a road on this vertical ice wall, and what is the purpose?" ”

Because there is still a thin layer of fog in the valley, we really can't see what is next to the platform where Lao Wu fell.

"Lao Wu will never take any risks, he must know that there is a road down there!" Jeonko said.

"Maybe it's the clues left by the previous group of people, which were seen through by the old five!" Aichen said.

"I'll tell you the truth, I suspect that Lao Wu and the mercenary knew each other, and that mercenary was also deliberately let go by Lao Wu, and the purpose of letting him go was to follow him." I said.

"Oh, what you say is even more mysterious. Leave those mysterious things aside, what do we do next? Jeonko asked, "To jump or not to jump?" ”
