Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 79

While riding his horse forward, Wu Xie looked in the direction indicated by the fat man. Through the sparse trees, he saw about 50 people and more than [-] horses bustling by the lake below. cavalry.

Those people are building tents by the lake, and it seems that they want to spend the night by the lake.One of them was opening a radar-like thing to debug.

Meng Li just glanced at it briefly, lacking in interest, with a look of no surprise.

Wu Xie looked through the binoculars and found that the woman was none other than Aning.

Wu Xie scolded, and Aning also came here, which shows that their deduction is correct, and the people who the third uncle wants to delay are probably this group.

But what Wu Xie wants to know more is, is Aning a mercenary, or an employee of the company that salvaged the sunken ship, or are these two just her false identities?

Monk Hua also saw the horse team below, his face changed, and he asked Chen Pi A Si softly what to do?

Chen Pi Asi looked at it, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Good job, it means that we are on the right path, keep going, and leave them alone."

Wu Xie took a binoculars and looked over alone, but he didn't see the third uncle, but since the third uncle might have been left in their hands, it is unlikely that he would have too much freedom, and he might be locked in a tent.

What made Wu Xie uncomfortable was that almost half of the people below were carrying Type [-] or [-] rifles. He also saw satellite phones and many advanced equipment.

The fat man looked at the hole of the gun, and said four times to Chen Pi'a: "Old man, you said that you will not buy guns or sell guns. You see that people with loaded guns are chasing after them. How do you deal with them when they are about to hand them over? Could it be possible to use the washbasin as a shield and use sanitary Towel to beat them?"

The corners of Mengli's eyes twitched when she heard the fat man's words that were not nutritious. Is wealth limiting my imagination, or is my vision too narrow?The picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it...but I just complained in my heart, Meng Li didn't say it out, she didn't want to bring hatred to herself.

Chen Pi Asi took a look at the fat man, shook his hands, and said with a smile, "Our business never relies on a large number of people. Once you cross the snow line, you will know that you are right to follow me."

Their conversations are all in dialect, Shunzi, who can’t speak Chinese well, can’t understand it, but he has been a guide for many years, and he also knows not to listen to what the guests say, because many people here are from Korean ethnicity Christian pilgrims, or poachers, listen too much, and they might silence you.

A group of people continued to walk up until they saw some dilapidated wooden houses and wire gates in front of them, with the slogan "the territory of the motherland is sacred and inviolable" written on them.

Shunzi told Mengli and the others that this is the supply station for the outpost on the snow mountain. If you go up, you will have a chance to take a look at that time.

There was nothing to say that night, a group of people made do here for the night, got up early the next morning and continued on their way, Shunzi felt strange, few people travel so hard, especially among a group of men there is a weak The little girl, but the money can only be collected by them.

If Mengli knew that she was a "soft and weak little girl" in Shunzi's eyes, she would definitely knock him down on the spot and let him see if she was soft or not.

It's a pity that Mengli doesn't have the ability to read minds.

It had already started to snow when the few people got up, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Few people in the south can adapt to this kind of weather. Except for Mengli, Fatty and Ye Cheng, the others were all stiff from the cold.

Going up and passing the snow line, the group of people finally saw the snow. It was sparse at first, and it got thicker as it went up. There were fewer and fewer trees, and more and more stones. Traces of work carried out.

At noon, all around them was white, and the snow on the ground was so thick that there was no way to go. It all depended on Shunzi leading the horse to clear the way. At this time, the wind suddenly blew up, and Shunzi looked at the clouds. , Said: "Why don't you come here today, there may be strong winds this day, just enjoy watching the snow-capped mountains, and there will be danger if you go up."

Chen Pi'a breathed out and waved his hands, asking him to wait.A group of people stopped to rest, ate some dry food, and several people went around to look at the scenery.

Shunzi looked into the distance, then pointed to a large depression, and said to Mengli and the others: "In ancient times, mausoleums were built using local materials. You can see that this large forest is obviously inferior to the one next to it. It must have been cut down a hundred years ago, and we Although it was difficult along the way, there were no particularly difficult obstacles. There must have been a major ancient project near here, and the mountains in this area have been repaired. Our general direction is correct, and we have to go up.”

Ye Cheng looked at Chen Pi Asi, and asked, "Old man, there are more than a dozen peaks in this mountain range, and they all climb from here. How can we find them?"

Chen Pi Asi pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's take a look. There must be a strange image where the dragon's head is. The place where the land vein stops is the dragon's cave. There are many mountains here, but there is only one land vein. Now we are walking along the land vein. We are not afraid that we will not find it." Come on, it's just a matter of time."

It's almost here... Mengli sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at her little brother, and sure enough, she saw him staring at the snow-capped mountains in front of her, frowning slightly, as if she was worried about something.

Seeing the little brother frowning, Wu Xie was a little puzzled, but knowing that asking him must be a waste of time, she simply turned to chat with the fat man.

After a break, a group of people staggered on the snow.

I ran like this until the sky turned gray, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the horses walked slower and slower. The group of people had to wear goggles to look forward. There were white snowflakes everywhere. I don’t know whether it was falling from the sky or blowing from the snow mountain. down.

His ears were filled with the sound of the wind, and when he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, and the cold wind poured in. In the words of the fat man, all the scolding words were frozen in his throat.

Running, Shunzi's horse stopped in front, Wu Xie vaguely felt that something was wrong, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, why is the sky so gray?

While rubbing the horse's neck, Shunzi looked around, her brows furrowed into her nostrils.

Except for Mengli, the group gathered around to ask Shunzi what was going on.

Mengli obediently made her own little transparency, shrinking her neck, it's really cold!If I had known earlier, I would have worn a few more!

Shunzi clicked his tongue and said, "The wind is too strong. It seems that there has been an avalanche here. The landscape is different. I don't recognize it. Also, you see, the snow in front of you is all the snow from the mountain above. It's too deep and too deep." If you step down, you will reach the belly of the horse, and the horse will not go over it. There are air bubbles under this kind of snow, which is easy to slide and collapse, which is very dangerous. When walking, you can’t walk in groups.”

"Then what should we do?" Pan Zi looked at the sky, "Looking at the weather, it doesn't seem too good, can we go back?"

Shunzi looked at the sky, then at Mengli and the others, and said, "I can't tell, but once the wind blows, it won't stop for two days and two nights. We must be at a dead end here. It’s not far from the abandoned border guard post, where we can avoid the wind and snow, I think it’s too late to go back, we can walk there.”

The fat man pressed his felt hat and took a tentative step. As a result, he was covered in the snow all the way to his thigh. He took a difficult step forward and cursed: "His grandma, there is something wrong with it!" have suffered."

A few people walked hard in the snow, and it was after six o'clock in the evening, but there was still no shadow of the sentry post.

Shunzi wandered around confused, thought again, and suddenly oops: "It's over, I know where this sentry post is!" His expression was extremely ugly at this time, "Why didn't I think of it, isn't this Little avalanche, the sentry post must have been buried in the snow, it is right under our feet, no wonder we couldn’t find it after wandering around for a long time!”

Pan Zi sighed, and said something, judging by the shape of his mouth: "Damn it!"

The fat man yelled and asked Shunzi: "Then what should we do now? The horse is gone, so is it possible that we are going to die here?"

Shunzi pointed to the front and said, "There is one last hope. I remember that there should be a hot spring nearby. It is in a mountain and the temperature is very high. If we can get there, we can live for several days with the food. The altitude of the hot spring is higher than here, so it should not be buried by snow, if you really can’t find it, then you have to rely on your will to survive, and walk back step by step.”

"Are you sure you're not sure?!" The fat man became distrustful of Shunzi.

Shunzi nodded: "This time, I will definitely not make a mistake. If I can't find it, you will deduct my wages."

Meng·Xiaotong·Li, listening to their conversation, laughed in his heart, if he really had to deduct wages, in this case, he might not have a chance until his next life.

With mournful faces, Wu Xie and the others followed Shunzi and continued to go up. The sky was getting darker and darker. Shunzi pulled up the rope and tied everyone to his body. Because the visibility was too low, he couldn't see anyone or hear anyone screaming. Only by relying on this rope can they be brought together.

Wu Xie's eyes began to blur as he walked, and he couldn't see clearly. The people in front walked farther and farther, and the people behind them dragged back. When he found that he couldn't see people on both sides, he couldn't help but feel "squeaky" With a sound, I wondered if I made a mistake entering the mountain at this time, would I die here?

Suddenly, Wu Xie saw a black shadow appearing in the snow fog in front of him. He was so dazed that he couldn't see who it was. After walking a few steps, the black shadow suddenly tilted and fell into the snow.

Wu Xie hurried over and saw that it was Shunzi who fell into the snow.

The younger brother chased after him, and when he saw Shunzi, he quickly helped him up.

Mengli looked at the fainted Shunzi, frowned, and thought: It's really useless!Then pull the rope taut and let the others gather first.

As soon as the fat man saw Shunzi, he made a very strange expression, and shouted: "What kind of guide is this mother? Don't tell me if you don't know the way. He fainted before even a girl in Mengli, so call us What should I do?" He wanted to scold again, but he didn't know where the wind was blowing the rest of his words.

Wu Xie looked around. The situation around them was completely out of control. The strong wind with a lot of snowflakes was hit by the rocks and circled around them. They couldn't see anything one meter away. When they came, the "footprints" almost disappeared. The wind blows away the child, and it is difficult to tell the difference between the east, the west, and the north. When the strong wind blows over, you can't even lift your head, and you will be blown down when you stand up.

Everyone's faces were pale, and Chen Pi'a's eyes were blurred. It seemed that the old man had already entered a semi-comatose state under such an extreme environment. Even if Shunzi didn't fall, he certainly wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Pan Zi said: "We can't stop and wait to die. The hot spring may be nearby. We stretched the rope and spread out to look for it. When we found it, we pulled the rope as a signal."

There was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, and Mengli's physical strength was a little weak, but she held on, her pride did not allow her to fall down.

When everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard the fat man yelling. The wind was too loud and he couldn't hear what he was yelling. Wu Xie looked back and saw his shadow disappear in a flash. The rope was pulled suddenly, his face changed, and he shouted: "No! Untie the rope, someone has collapsed into the snow pit!"

Before he finished speaking, the snow under the little brother's feet suddenly collapsed, Mengli's head was confused, and she fell into the little brother's arms, and then, being protected by the little brother, the whole person was pulled into the snow by the rope, Then came Wu Xie and the others.

Like a bunch of grapes, they were pulled into the snow one by one by the fat man, rolling around for an unknown amount of time before they stopped.

Wu Xie's eyes were full of snow, and he couldn't open them at all. He only heard Pan Zi tell them not to move, he was the one on the tail, he climbed down first.

At this time, Ye Cheng suddenly heard a cry: "Wait, wait! Fuck you! Don't go down, what is that in the snow?"

I thought about giving up, but thinking of you

I think, for myself, for you, I should persevere
