"Okay, okay, if you want to go so much, hurry up and pack your luggage."
The archaeological team talked and laughed, and they were in a good mood.
But at this moment, the captain of the border guards who was in charge of welcoming them shook his head.
And he said with a serious face: "I can't go today. The weather station has reported that there may be an ice storm in the afternoon. If there is an ice storm on the way to go, it will kill people. Let's rest in the camp for a night and then talk about it."
"Ice storm?"
Hearing this, the professors were stunned for a while, and then a little discouraged.
Finally arrived at the Kunlun Mountain Glacier, but was blocked by the weather.
These professors are really itchy!
However, they are not the first-line archaeologists. It is not easy to carry out research on such a plateau. Naturally, it is impossible to risk their lives to go to the glacier.
"Then... well, Captain Zheng, our archaeological team puts safety first. You have been stationed in Kunlun Mountain all year round and know more than us. We will listen to your arrangements!"
The captain of the border guards is Zheng Guoguang, who has been stationed in Kunlun Mountain for five years.
He was worried that the archaeological team would not talk well, but he was relieved to hear that Professor Zhou Huaiwen was so reasonable.
The serious expression on Zheng Guoguang's face eased a bit, and then he said with a smile: "You are all experts in the institute, and our stationing conditions are relatively difficult, and I hope you professors will not be offended."
In the archaeological team, an old white-haired professor waved his hands nonchalantly, and said leisurely: "What kind of hardship is this? Back then, I followed the director to the Talkan Desert in western Xinjiang for archaeology. There was a lack of water and food, and I lived every day." I ate a steamed bun in the wind and sand. I didn’t take a shower or wash my face for three months, for fear of wasting a drop of water. That’s hard work!”
"Even Kunlun Mountain now has thick cotton-padded clothes and quilts, hot water and hot meals are enough, and the conditions are much better than those of the past!"
A group of old professors recalled bitterness and thought sweetness, feeling a lot.
Zheng Guoguang was in awe, and quickly asked his soldiers to arrange the old professors to stay.
Get settled.
Zhou Huaiwen called everyone together and held a brief meeting.
"Captain Zheng, how did the soldiers discover the cultural relics in the glacier last month, can you tell us in detail, and what is the specific situation of that glacier?"
The meeting room of the resident camp.
Zheng Guoguang recalled it for a while, and said, "I remember a small-scale earthquake occurred near the glacier last month, which cracked a glacier six kilometers away from the camp."
"Above the Kunlun Mountains snow line, there are many glaciers that have been frozen for tens of thousands of years. There are still many cracks on the glaciers. If you accidentally fall into it, it will be fatal."
"So in order to record the situation of the glacier after the earthquake, after the earthquake, two soldiers, Xu Long and Liu Tian, I went to check the specific situation of the glacier together."
"Six kilometers away from the camp, there was a small gap in the glacier. Xu Long's eyes were sharp, and there seemed to be reflections in the gap. When he took out the things and took a look, he found that they were some fragmentary cultural relics."
Hearing this, the professors nodded.
Zheng Guoguang's description is basically consistent with what they know. There is indeed a ruins under the glacier that has been buried for thousands of years.
It happened to be exposed last month because of an earthquake.
But, right now.
Su Chen interrupted suddenly and asked, "Captain Zheng, did you see any strange things in the glacier crevasse, such as living things or bones?"
Zheng Guoguang was taken aback when he heard the words, and after careful recollection, he said: "There is nothing strange. If there is a kid like Xu Long, he seems to have seen bugs."
"At that time, I scolded him. Our temperature is more than ten degrees below zero all the year round, so there are no bugs!"
When Su Chen heard this, his heart moved.
insect?
Is it really Dapu ghost bug? (fire ladybug)
Speaking of this, Zheng Guoguang turned his head and asked the guard behind him: "By the way, where is Xu Long, why didn't he see anyone else today?"
Zheng Guoguang's guard shook his head.
"Brother Xiaolong and Liu Tian said in the morning that they were going to visit the glacier, but we haven't seen him come back."
Hearing this, Zheng Guoguang's face changed slightly, and he reprimanded: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"
After all, he quickly got up and brought a walkie-talkie.
And explained to the archaeological team: "The rules of the station, no matter where the mission is, two or more people must act together and bring a walkie-talkie. These two brats are thinking about excavating an ancient city ruins all day long. Also be a hero, I really don't know what to say about them!"
While speaking, Zheng Guoguang dialed and turned on the walkie-talkie.
But after calling a few words, there was no response from Xu Long and Liu Tian.
Now, Zheng Guoguang's face became even more ugly.
He slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "These two brats are too outrageous!"
The soldiers under him ran to the glacier privately, and it was still a big day when the archaeological team came over, which made Zheng Guoguang feel that his face was dull and very annoyed.
Thinking of this, Zheng Guoguang yelled and summoned seven or eight soldiers, intending to hurry back and bring them back before the ice storm came.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the archaeological team to stay inside the station and not to run around.
He also said that the ice storm in the Kunlun Glacier is no joke, it can really freeze people to death!
but!
Just when Zheng Guoguang summoned the soldiers and was about to find someone.
Outside the icy and snowy camp, a figure suddenly appeared, as if drunk, walking towards the camp unsteadily.
Everyone was stunned.
When the figure got closer, it was clear that it was a young soldier in military uniform.
"It's Liu Tian. Fortunately, nothing happened!"
"Liu Tian, why are you the only one, where is Xu Long?"
Zheng Guoguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward, grabbed the other party's collar and roared: "You know how to come back, you kid, what do you think of discipline! What about Xu Long, why didn't he come back with you?"
however!
Before he finished speaking, Liu Tian suddenly let out a miserable howl and burst into tears.
"Woo, dead! They're all dead!"
Chapter 74 Heading to the Glacier Gap, Su Chen's Decision
Zheng Guoguang was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily: "Say more clearly, who is dead! Where's that brat Xu Long?"
"Dead, all dead~"
Liu Tian seemed to be frightened, unable to utter a complete sentence, but just repeated this sentence in a murmur.
Zheng Guoguang wanted to ask again, but Su Chen stepped forward to stop him.
"Captain Zheng, he was frightened, and you won't get anything out of it if you ask him any more. Take him back to the room to warm up first, and ask him after he's calmed down."
Zheng Guoguang gritted his teeth and nodded, and asked the soldiers to help Liu Tian into the house.
After Liu Tian drank a cup of hot tea and regained some sanity, everyone learned the ins and outs of the matter from him.
It turned out that Xu Long saw a ladybug-like bug in the crevasse of the glacier last month, and its body was glowing red.
He kept this incident in his heart all the time, and he always felt that he was not hallucinating, but really saw the bug.
So, in the past month, he often called Liu Tian to find ladybugs in the crevasses of the glacier.
There were no harvests the previous few times, but who knew that today, the two of them really encountered a ladybug.
The ladybug was deep in the crevasse of the glacier, separated by a thin layer of ice.
The two observed for a while, and found that the body of this ladybug was translucent, emitting red light, and it was extraordinarily beautiful.
Xu Long was very proud, saying that he was not mistaken, and it was the captain who was wrong.
He also planned to break open the ice cap and capture the ladybug back to show Zheng Guoguang.
but!
Just when Xu Long smashed the ice cap and caught the ladybug in his hands, his whole body suddenly caught fire!
Liu Tian was shocked, and stepped forward to help Xu Long put out the fire.
But before he ran over, Xu Long was burned to ashes.
What frightened Liu Tian even more was that the ladybug was not burned to death, but flew towards him instead.
Liu Tian didn't dare to let the ladybug get close, so he ran back desperately.
After running all the way to the camp, he burst into tears.
After listening to Liu Tian's narration, Zheng Guoguang's face turned livid, and he roared angrily: "You can make up such outrageous things?! Tell me the truth, what happened to you two, where is that brat Xu Long?"
It wasn't just Zheng Guoguang who didn't believe Liu Tian's words, but everyone present, except Su Chen, almost no one believed Liu Tian's words!
A ladybug who is not afraid of fire and can burn people to death?
How can there be such an outrageous thing in this world!
Even some time ago, the undead zombies in Yizhou were afraid of fire!
If it is burned by a flamethrower at close range, it will also be wiped out.
How can there be species in this world that are not afraid of fire and can survive in flames?
Zheng Guoguang glared at Liu Tian, his eyes were a little red.
Don't look at him as a brat, but Xu Long is the best soldier under him, and also the soldier with the longest service time under him!
Although they are not father and son, their feelings are deeper than that of father and son.
Liu Tian was crying, recalling the scene he saw in the glacier just now, still trembling a little.
However, he still insisted on his statement.
"You still dare to lie, you honestly explain what happened, if you lie, you will go to a military court!"
"Captain, I really didn't lie, Brother Xiaolong was burned to death by bugs, woo woo woo..."
"you!"
Zheng Guoguang was extremely angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Su Chen on the side stopped him again.
Now Su Chen was almost certain that Xu Long and the others had indeed encountered a fire ladybug!
According to the description of the two, it should be a dormant fire ladybug.
If the two of them don't disturb it, they still have a chance to survive.
It's a pity that Xu Long wanted to catch the fire ladybug, so he risked his life.
Thinking of this, Su Chen secretly sighed, and said, "Captain Zheng, Liu Tian is not lying, there are indeed such strange ladybugs in this world."
"what?"
Including Zheng Guoguang, everyone present was shocked when they heard Su Chen's words.
"Comrade Xiao Su, do you know the origin of this ladybug?"
Su Chen nodded, and said quietly: "Remember the Demon Kingdom I mentioned, the reason why the Demon Kingdom can dominate the surrounding areas of Kunlun is because of their ghost mother, who can control a kind of ghost insect called Dapu, whose appearance is similar to that of a ladybug. Similar creatures!"
"This kind of creature has two forms, one is called infinite karma, and ordinary people will be burned to ashes in just a few seconds when they come into contact with it."
"The other is called Naiqiongshenbing, which can freeze people into ice cubes!"
"However, this kind of creature is usually only seen in the place where the demon country sacrifices, or it is dormant in the nine-story demon tower, and basically will not come out."
"Xu Long saw the Dapu ghost worm, it is very likely that it was the only one."
After listening to Su Chen's words, the experts and professors present felt a little unbelievable.
Can you switch back and forth between Wuliangyehuo and Naiqiong Shenbing?
This sounds so fantastic, even more outrageous than the zombies in Yizhou!
While everyone was silent, Zhou Huaiwen frowned and asked, "Mr. Su, according to what you said, isn't this Dapu ghost worm invincible?"
"Dapu ghost insects are afraid of water in the state of infinite karma, but they are afraid of fire in the state of poor god ice. There are still ways to restrain them, but if there are too many of them, it is better not to provoke them."
The experts breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Su Chen say that the Dapu ghost worm had a nemesis.
