Endless route

Chapter 140 47. Weird corpse and survivor from twenty years ago [2-in-1]

Zheng Yun looked around and saw nothing that could be used to plug the hole. There were only a lot of materials and equipment left by the scientific expedition team. Using them to plug the hole was a false gamble.

These ice caves are so difficult to plug.

Unless it is repaired bit by bit with water, it will be impossible to restore. Even if it is blocked with huge rocks, the ice may be broken out bit by bit along the cracks by the things inside.

The key point is that there are not even boulders.

We can only use the materials of the scientific expedition team to roughly block it first, and then find a way to completely seal it.

Zheng Yun immediately took action and asked the ghost general to run to the narrow ice cave entrance at the end, pile up things on the ground and stuff them into the cave.

Wait until they cover the hole.

Ji Dao was still staring straight at the tongueless thing, watching it try hard to knock the ice through the thick ice.

Wait for Zheng Yun to come over.

Ji Dao turned to look at him and pointed his finger into the hole: "Master Xian, maybe the people from the scientific expedition team are also in there. I always feel that I heard some voices, but they are a bit far away."

"Ignore it for now. Let's go back and take a look. This place is too dangerous, and Hu Ruihua and the others are not safe either."

Zheng Yun shook his head and walked towards the way he came.

This scientific expedition team cannot be saved by ordinary people. If they survive until now, they should have a way to save themselves. If not, there is nothing they can do. Anyway, I will not risk saving them.

Ji Dao followed immediately.

They returned to the second floor of the frozen loft and climbed up along the rope. They also looked at the middle floors. The structure inside was different from the second floor, but there were also some passages.

Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to go to the third floor and scan around with a flashlight. Nothing was found. He didn't know what those passages were for, and they were not in the mood to explore now.

Climb up the rope.

They returned to the original ice room.

The weight of the iceberg above my head is so heavy that I can't breathe. Just standing here gives me a depressing feeling.

Several people quickly ran towards the exit.

Ran back to the chain bridge from the exit.

He raised his head and took a glance, only to find that there was only one flashlight on the ice wall opposite, shining here to provide them with a light source, but Hu Ruihua and his men were nowhere to be seen.

Although the constant flashlight is dazzling.

But they could still see clearly whether there was anyone on that path. There was not a single shadow of anyone. Hu Ruihua Huzi and the three members of the rescue team in white were all gone.

"broken."

Zheng Yun was shocked.

Ever since he discovered that this place had been sieved by the scientific expedition team and became full of loopholes, Zheng Yun felt that the entire ice rift valley was unsafe and could be in danger at any time.

Use Ji Dao's guess.

This place is used to seal Hanxian.

But this Hanxian disappeared.

After the passage is opened, Hanxian may go to other places, or he may have run away along their path and wandered anywhere in this ice crack valley.

"Master Xian, do you have a walkie-talkie with you?"

Ji Dao also twitched his eyelids and turned to look at Zheng Yun to ask. He had been thinking about it since he used the walkie-talkie last time.

"Yes." Zheng Yun immediately took out the walkie-talkie, pressed the button, and asked into the walkie-talkie: "Is there anyone there?"

When Zheng Yun entered this place before, in order not to violate Hanxian's taboo, Zheng Yun turned down the volume of the walkie-talkie. Moreover, if they went deep into the passage, the signal might not be able to be transmitted.

So they didn't hear any sound from the walkie-talkie all the way. It seemed that Hu Ruihua and the others didn't speak at all.

This is also unreasonable.

As long as they were not in any danger, Hu Ruihua and the others had no reason not to say hello. Since they disappeared suddenly, it could only mean that something had happened to them.

The two looked down at the intercom.

Looking forward to a reply from the intercom.

But there was no sound. In the entire narrow rift valley, there were only some sounds of river water, and no movement could be heard.

Stand at the entrance of the cave and look around.

There was deep darkness all around, and the entire underground rift valley was completely dark. Except for the flashlight on the opposite side, they could not see a second point of light. No matter where they looked, there was deathly silence, as if they were the only two left in this place. living person.

Everything I saw and heard was terrifying.

After waiting for a long time for the intercom to reply, Zheng Yun and Jidao looked at each other. Both of them had serious expressions and felt that something was wrong.

Zheng Yun took a deep breath, raised his flashlight and scanned from right to left along the ice wall path on the opposite side. However, their position was low and they couldn't see anything on the road because of the angle.

If Hu Ruihua and the others fell down or squatted down, they wouldn't be able to see it, but that situation would be obviously worse.

"Let's go back and take a look."

Zheng Yun searched around to no avail, so he asked the ghost general to climb up, intending to go back along the chain bridge to find people.

"Master Immortal, the water in this river has become high."

Ji Dao lowered his head and used his flashlight to shine on the glacier below. He spoke in a dignified tone, giving a cold reminder.

"The river is getting higher?"

Zheng Yun also looked down.

The glacier below has been flowing at the bottom of the valley. The sound is not very loud and the flow speed is relatively slow. I haven't felt much change in such a long time, and I have never paid attention to the water level.

Look again now.

It feels like the water level is a little higher.

Moreover, this glacier looks quite weird, with a lot of broken ice mixed on the surface. No one can see how deep it is, and whether there is anything weird at the bottom of the river.

The only thing known so far is that the body of a scientific expedition team came out of this river, but we don’t know where its source is.

Maybe go up the river.

They can also make some discoveries.

In addition, Triton likes to make articles in such nooks and crannies. Maybe there is some secret passage in the river.

But I can't care about that now.

"Let's go." Zheng Yun knew that Ji Dao just mentioned it. With his character, if he really saw any clues, he would be eager to tell himself immediately. If he didn't mention it, he would have no idea.

Ji Dao nodded.

The four of them returned along the original path, went up to the chain bridge, and walked along the chain bridge toward the opposite ice wall. When they returned to the front of the ice wall, Zheng Yun stretched out his hand to see if the rope was strong.

The rope is no problem.

Then let the ghost general go first.

When the two ghost generals grabbed the rope and started to climb up, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao followed closely, keeping their distance and following them.

Soon the ghost general climbed to the top. Zheng Yun kept looking up, but he didn't see any warning move from the ghost general.

Zheng Yun accelerated onto the path.

I glanced left and right with the flashlight, and sure enough there was no one on the road, only a lone flashlight.

But there is a rope on the ground, which leads to the front. It is still trembling slightly at this moment, as if someone is pulling on the rope. It should be Hu Ruihua and the others who stayed.

This is a sign.

Hu Ruihua and the others must have encountered something.

"Walk."

Zheng Yun immediately ran forward along the rope.

The four of them took full strides and ran a few hundred meters to bypass the chain bridge. They even saw another city wall exactly like before at the far bottom of the rift valley.

But the rope did not pass. After walking a few hundred meters more, they saw the rope going out along a gap.

There is actually a robbery hole here.

I don’t know who hit me.

Zheng Yun didn't think about it and asked the ghost general to run to the gap immediately. He and Jidao followed closely, standing on the edge of the gap and looking outside with a flashlight.

This is also an open-air ice valley. The area is not very large and is almost the same as the previous ice valley.

But in this ice valley, there were actually several corpses, all of them members of the scientific expedition team. They were placed neatly on a plastic sheet used for outdoor camping, five of them in total.

"This is……"

Ji Dao was shocked.

One thing these five corpses have in common is that their eyes have black holes, as if they have been dug out.

They were exactly the same as the corpses of the scientific expedition team they had encountered in the frozen attic before, except that these corpses were relatively complete and did not lose their lower bodies.

But it was a little different from last time. When they encountered the corpse just now, the situation was more urgent and panicked, and they didn't have time to look carefully. Now they can see more details at a glance.

The oxygen masks on the faces of these corpses were all taken off, and you could see blood stains on their mouths and noses. There was not much blood, but there was bleeding from all the orifices, and some blood flowed from the ears.

This situation looks like falling to death.

I don’t know where they fell from, but it probably has nothing to do with this open-air ice valley. This is not the first scene. Their bodies were obviously placed together.

There are too many places where they could fall to death.

The rift valley and Immortal Sacrifice Cave just now could have caused people to fall to death, but combined with the holes in their eyes, they probably ran out of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave.

Is this the body that Hu Ruihua and the others found? And then put it here temporarily? Or is it that the scientific expedition team put the body here.

Zheng Yun prefers the former.

If a body is found, Hu Ruihua and the others do have enough reason to leave without authorization and leave clues.

After roughly scanning the corpses, Zheng Yun continued to look forward along the rope, hoping to see Hu Ruihua and the others.

But the strange thing is that the rope actually leads to the deepest part. The ice valley is curved, and in the middle there is a small iceberg with a height of only about ten meters, blocking the view.

Ji Dao knelt down and looked at the body.

Zheng Yun led the ghost generals around the small iceberg to see what was behind it. The front was exposed to the aurora, and he could roughly see it without a flashlight.

Just walked around.

Many things appeared before my eyes.

Zheng Yun took a closer look and found that there were a few scattered corpses in front of him, distributed near the entrance of a small hole. The rope led to this hole and he entered through the hole.

"Master Immortal, these people died a little strangely. Several of them had water stains on their bodies and fluid in their lungs. It was a bit like they were drowned or drowned first, and then fell to death immediately afterwards." Ji Dao ran in a hurry. Come over and say seriously.

Then he also saw other bodies ahead.

These corpses are in another situation. They seem to have walked here alive, and then died for unknown reasons. Each corpse has a movement, or it is lying down, or its legs are split, and it is different from just now. The bodies are different.

"Did Hu Ruihua and the others go down from this hole?" Zheng Yun frowned. With Hu Ruihua's character, he shouldn't be so reckless, considering the corpses on the ground.

It is possible that something chased them to this place. All the corpses on the ground had their heads facing this hole. They were probably killed by something while running.

Then Hu Ruihua may have encountered a similar situation. They found corpses here. As soon as they collected a few bodies, they discovered some kind of situation and had to escape through this hole...

But what exactly did they encounter?

There are only the marks left by people on the ground, and no other traces can be seen. Even the species of this thing cannot be judged. I only know that it is definitely not a tongueless thing.

Tongueless things are barefoot.

Their footprints are easily identifiable.

"Master Immortal, what should we do?"

Ji Dao also saw the problem and quietly pulled out a sharp long sword from the collar of the cold clothes on his back.

"Go to the entrance of the cave and take a look. Listen to see if you can hear anything." Zheng Yun took out his pistol and walked forward.

Several people coordinated their steps, lined up to block all directions, and slowly walked forward towards the hole in the ground.

As they get closer.

The situation inside the cave gradually emerged.

The flashlight shone into the hole, and it turned out that the hole was very deep. It was estimated to be dozens of meters deep. You had to walk to the edge to really see what was in the hole.

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao both held their breaths and carefully walked to the edge of the hole to prevent themselves from sliding down, and looked down.

The hole is very narrow.

Just over one meter in diameter.

But the shape is also very irregular, and it looks like a burglar's cave. It is definitely not a naturally formed cave.

The flashlight shines into the depths.

The hole is indeed dozens of meters deep.

It was pitch black below, and some strange shadows could be seen, as well as a large amount of broken ice, proving that the hole had just been opened not long ago and should have been drilled by the scientific expedition team before.

"Is it a boat?"

Ji Dao guessed first.

The flashlight can find something that looks like a wooden board, but due to the size of the hole, it is really impossible to see more.

"Listen to it."

Zheng Yun turned to look at Jidao.

Ji Dao nodded, turned his head towards the hole, listened very intently with his eyes closed, and then his expression gradually changed.

After a while.

He then opened his eyes and said: "Hu Ruihua and the others are alive. I heard their voices in this cave, but they seemed to be digging holes instead of escaping."

"Dig? How did you hear that?"

Zheng Yun frowned, what kind of hole was dug here?

"Master Xian, I heard the sound of ice cutting. It was very far away, but I can be sure it was them because Hu Zi's voice was very obvious." Ji Dao listened again before explaining.

"Do they sound panicked?"

Zheng Yun asked while taking out a walkie-talkie. If it was this distance, it should be able to transmit the signal.

"It's so fast, I can't tell." Ji Dao shook his head.

"Is there anyone there? Hello? Where are you?" Zheng Yun pressed the intercom button and asked.

Swish swish swish.

The intercom has a current sound.

After a while, the intercom suddenly rang: "Brother Zheng, we are forced to a weird place. You must not come here. There is a weirdo here."

"What kind of weirdo?" Zheng Yun said with his scalp numb.

"We just walked around and found a gap so we went in to take a look. We saw a lot of corpses on the ground. We were just about to go back and wait for you when we saw a figure on the other side of the rift valley. As soon as this figure saw us, run."

"We were also startled and immediately retreated to the gap. We found a cave here, and then we heard someone talking inside, so we came down to take a look."

"There is a living man here. He is as unshaven as a tramp. His name is Kedester. His skin is ulcerated all over his body and his brain is damaged. Judging from his clothes and clothes, he seems to have fallen into this hole many years ago. .”

Huzi introduced the situation.

Zheng Yun was shocked. He had some impression of this Kedester. Maybe he was from the archaeological team twenty years ago!
