Chapter 18: Your smile is ugly
"Set up a temporary tent, Xiao Ye, you and this PLA comrade stay on it. ”
Hu Bayi saw that Ye Yi was thin and small, and he didn't want her to go down to take risks, so he took the initiative to say the words to let her stay.
"No, Brother Hu, if you can go down, I can go down too, I can take care of myself. ”
Because of Xue Yang, Ye Yixin's mental state at this time was good, she was here for a long time, so she naturally didn't want to shrink into the tent and do nothing.
"But ......"
"Lao Hu, let her go down, it's good to see and know, I will take care of her. ”
Hu Bayi wanted to persuade again, but Xue Yang had already seen the determination of this little girl, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, then you take care of Xiaoye. ”
Seeing Xue Yang's voice, Hu Bayi no longer objected, and began to turn around and prepare for going down the cave.
Maybe he has seen Xue Yang's kung fu, or maybe because of Xue Yang's mature conversation, he is very relieved about Xue Yang.
When going down the cliff, everyone was very careful, there were no major accidents, only Wang Fatzi almost kicked in the air because of his fear of heights, but fortunately Hu Bayan next to him was fast, came to lift him, and got to the ground without danger.
"I'm scared to death!" Wang Fatzi said with palpitations: "Lao Hu, it's good to have you, otherwise if the fat man falls, he will definitely fall into meat sauce this time." ”
"Can you be careful, look at your guts. Hu Bayi was also taken aback, and he was also a little speechless for his little friend.
After this episode of Wang Fatzi, listening to the bickering between the two, everyone's tense emotions were relaxed.
Staying where they were, everyone stopped again and carefully checked the equipment, Xue Yang was alone, and there was nothing to tidy up, so he went to explore the road first.
"Come here, there's a corpse here. ”
Walking less than ten meters, Xue Yang noticed a frozen corpse on the ground, this corpse did not look like a Chinese, but because it had been frozen for too long, its skin color had turned purple, and it was difficult to judge from the facial features.
The group stopped by the corpse and studied it for a while, and finally Shirley Young judged that the corpse might be an expedition member who had accompanied his father, based on the corpse and the equipment next to it.
Shirley Yang came to the corpse, squatted down beside the corpse and searched carefully, and when he saw that he could not find anything useful, he shook his head at the crowd.
There was only one path to walk underneath this gap, so they didn't have to find a way, they just followed this narrow and deep gap in the glacier and walked straight ahead.
The mountain crevices are narrow and deep, and it is pitch black beyond the range of the flashlight, limited by visibility, and I don't know what terrain is in the distance.
The group walked very slowly, keeping an eye on each other's feet and surroundings to prevent accidents.
Xue Yang was still at the end, he didn't have a flashlight, but his gaze was not hindered in the dark ice crevice.
With the faint light of everyone's flashlights, Xue Yang dilated his pupils through force control, and the surrounding light naturally surrounded his eyeballs.
The light helped him achieve a skill that only the legendary creatures of the night possess – seeing in the dark.
This is a skill that everyone has, but ordinary people can't control their pupils freely before the energy, and after entering the energy, the intensity of the light entering the eyes can be controlled through the enlargement and contraction of the pupils.
Although there is little light in the night, it is still there, but if it is really a completely dark space, then it is impossible to see in the dark.
Of course, at that time, Xue Yang was able to move freely with his listening skills, and when he had a touch of Bing.
The depth of the mountain gap was beyond imagination, and after walking south for a while, it came to an end, and the crack in the earth turned north, and it felt like you were walking under a great glacier.
The crowd walked forward in the darkness for a long time, and the lower the terrain became, and the space underground became larger and larger.
Professor Hao measured it with a barometer, and the altitude of the air pressure was only more than 400 meters, which is about the same as Sichuan and far lower than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters.
Relying on the instructions of the compass, the group soon came to the gap between the two mountains.
The terrain finally began to calm down, and Xue Yang heard the sound of rushing water in his ears, and it seemed that there was a large underground river not far away.
"There should be an underground river ahead. ”
Xue Yang's voice interrupted the silence in the group, and everyone was about to ask a question, when they suddenly noticed that the light from the flashlight produced many faint reflections on the rock wall, as if shining on the fragments of countless mirrors.
Chu Jian exclaimed: "It's mica, wow, so much." ”
"What male and female?" said Wang Fatzi suspiciously, he didn't know anything about mica, a 'meaningless' thing.
"It's not an animal, it's a crystal. Mica and crystal, which usually grow in the same formation, are these things. As an archaeology professor, Hao Aiguo is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about geology and minerals, explaining: "The color of these micas is very dark, which means that they used to be in a deep position, and we can see them at this altitude because of the movement of the earth's crust." ”
After passing the area where the mica gathered, the sound of water became clearer and clearer, and this time not only Xue Yang heard it, but also Hu Bayi and Professor Chen and other people who walked in front.
Moving on, they soon came to the source of the sound of the water and saw a huge underground river.
Everyone was attracted by the underground river, but Xue Yang and Shirley Yang met next to a small fork in the darkness.
"What is Miss Yang looking for?"
Xue Yang's voice was very low, and it suddenly sounded in the crack of the ice covered by darkness, which really startled Shirley Yang, who was looking at the ground intently.
"Mr. Xue, don't you know that it is very rude to speak behind someone's back?"
Shirley Yang turned her head, her face was a little pale, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Xue Yang with a displeased eyebrow.
"Miss Yang doesn't need to be angry, I naturally have some doubts and worries when you suddenly left the team and came to this special place. ”
Xue Yang smiled and pointed to a small ditch beside him, the small ditch was dug very deep, and there were some animal bones inside, Shirley Yang used a flashlight to illuminate it, and he couldn't see it clearly, but Xue Yang could see at a glance that this was an animal burial pit.
Cows, horses, sheep, dogs, all kinds of animals!
"There may be doubts, but I'm worried that I think it's just a temporary addition of words by Mr. Xue. Shirley Yang was depressed Xue Yang, and said, "Besides, Mr. Xue, has anyone told you that you look ugly when you laugh!"
As the words fell, Shirley Yang glanced at Xue Yang seriously, with the light of the flashlight, she could see the obvious outline of the man's face in front of her, and she could also see the nasty smile on his face.
Shining the light of the flashlight straight at Xue Yang's eyes for a moment, Shirley Yang saw that Xue Yang was staring at her without blinking, not caring about the gathered light sources at all, so he snorted unhappily and turned his head to continue to observe the scene underground.
