Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Su Mu was the last member to rappel.

Before leaving, he took advantage of the snow and biting cold wind before Ye Shuxin had time to react, and in front of the surprised gaze of the signalman Xiao Liu, he pecked Ye Shuxin's cheek and lips twice like a clumsy woodpecker.

Each move was clumsy.

There is absolutely no quickness in attacking by surprise and then dodging.

Especially when pecking leaves to comfort the little mouth, not only does it take too long, but it also ends up with a string...

In front of a third person, they were still having an affair.

Ye Shuxin was almost embarrassed.

Before he could react, Su Mu ran quickly and jumped into the crack of the glacier.

In the end, Sumu was the first to reach the bottom of the valley.

As expected, he was the first to discover the former member of the extraspecies joint scientific expedition team who had sent out a distress signal.

"Who is this?"

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan subconsciously looked at Shirley Yang and Professor Chen.

"He should be a member of the joint scientific expedition team. He has a signal transmitter that has run out of power."

Professor Chen analyzed.

Shirley Yang squatted beside the man's body and was not afraid at all.

He fumbled around on the body and looked through the backpack slung across his body.

"This is not my father."

Shirley Yang stood up and said coldly.

Su Mu rolled his eyes.

This woman is so fake.

If he really was her biological father, how could he not see it at a glance?

It was obvious that he saw the pistol on the body and wanted to hide it secretly.

"Keep the gun for self-defense. After all, you are the investor of the United States, and we have an obligation to protect your safety. In case we get separated, you also have tools to defend yourself."

Su Mu simply made it clear.

"Ms. Yang, did you find a gun?"

Shirley Yang was stunned for a moment, then she shook her wrist and a pistol appeared in her palm.

"We'll handle this matter in a special way. When we get out, Shirley, can you hand over this gun?"

"Okay, Uncle Chen."

The little episode passed uneventfully and everyone continued to move forward.

Deep in the crevices of the Kunlun Mountains glaciers is a huge, long cave.

Hao Aiguo muttered as he walked: "This side is due south, the crack should be the gap between two mountains, this side is due east, if we go further, we will be right below the glacier..."

Su Mu ignored him.

After walking a few steps, the light ahead became brighter.

Some crystals around were reflecting the flashlight light.

“So many mica?”

Chu Jian sighed.

"What's male or female?"

No need to ask, the only one in the group who could ask such a counterintuitive question must be the fat and ignorant Wang Kaixuan.

"It's not an animal, it's a crystal."

Hao Aiguo saw the opportunity to teach and he immediately stepped forward and began to give Wang Kaixuan some scientific knowledge.

"Mica and crystal usually grow in the same stratum, like these..."

Cultural people, especially those doing research, seem to have a bit of a teachable nature. In the dim and depressing environment, the apprentice Hao Aiguo subconsciously relieves stress by explaining problems.

Professor Chen, as Hao Aiguo's teacher, is no less outstanding.

"You can see that the color of these micas is very dark, which means that the place we are in was once very deep underground. The reason we can see them at this altitude is entirely due to the movement of the earth's crust..."

It’s a pity that Professor Chen and Professor Hao’s successive appearances have been like playing the lute to a cow.

Wang Kaixuan didn't care about the exercise or the depth. He touched the mica with the chisel in his hand and asked a question.

“Is this thing worth money?”

Satipeng grinned, and the conversation between Hao Aiguo and Professor Chen suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Su Mu walked silently behind, paying attention to Shirley Yang's back.

Although she was wearing very thick clothes, perhaps for the purpose of rock climbing and convenience of movement, her red down jacket had a slimming effect.

At first glance, the curve of the figure is quite obvious.

The girl behind was too embarrassed to look directly at him, especially in this semi-dark environment, the attraction between the opposite sex would inexplicably grow...

He was a new recruit, a naive little chick, and he felt that this kind of thinking was very wrong, so he was panic-stricken and kept trying to divert attention by talking.

"This place is amazing. Hey, if it's so secret and so big underground, why don't you build a secret base here?"

Ga Wa was amazed at the colorful and huge underground space under the light of the flashlight.

"Gawawa, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

The big guy scolded him.

Ga Wa was a man who could not wait to be talked to. He took two quick steps and approached Hu Bayi: "Brother Hu, have you been here before?"

Hu Bayi glanced at Shirley Yang who was not far away, and said slowly: "I will tell you slowly after I get out."

"You don't need me to tell you. I can tell with my toes that you must have been here before. I can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary person."

As Ga Wa spoke, he also secretly glanced at Su Mu who was falling at the back.

That was not just any ordinary man, that was a divine man.

Gawawa didn't know that he had just heard a few words from the big guy and their company commander when they were chatting last night.

"You can!"

The big guy grabbed Ga Wa, thinking that he was becoming more and more "outrageous".

As a senior, I must educate him.

"Toes, do you still have ideas? The enemy teaches us to liberate our minds, but you also have to seek truth from facts and not talk nonsense."

"Hey, treat your comrades as warmly as spring, do you understand?"

"Stop talking nonsense and stay back."

As two sharpshooters sent by the company to be responsible for the team's safety, they guarded the entire team one in front and one behind.

Ga Wa moved to the back indignantly.

Professor Chen and others in front started talking again.

"Hey, there seems to be a sound of water ahead, probably an underground river."

"I've never seen an underground river before. What does it look like?"

Fatty Wang became interested.

After a while, the group arrived at the underground river.

There was a light mist above the surface of the river, and the sound of water gurgling could be heard. From a distance, it seemed to be more than ten meters wide.

Hu Bayi asked everyone to take a rest first, because there was no other way forward and they could only wade across the river.

Ga Wa turned around and found that Shirley Yang and Team Leader Su were gone.

In a hurry, I trotted back to look for it.

But we found that in a large patch of mica not far away, Team Leader Su and Sister Yang were standing side by side closely.

Team leader Su was still holding the camera upside down, and with a click, he took a photo.

Ga Wa stood there in a daze for five or six seconds, and only came to his senses when Su Mu and Shirley Yang approached.

I felt inexplicably empty, yet deeply shocked.

What Ga Wa called intimacy was that Team Leader Su held Shirley Yang in his arms, and the two of them stood together with their faces close together and took a photo.

Well, this kid Ga Wa doesn’t understand the combined usage of the two words “selfie”.

Shirley Yang's cheeks felt a little hot.

She herself found it baffling.

I originally planned to take a few photos of mica just to get the job done.

After all, she is still an editor of National Geographic Magazine.

But Su Mu followed and suggested taking a photo with her.

Shirley Yang agreed on a whim.

Not only did he agree, he also posed for several photos.

Ga Wa only saw the last one.

Some of them hugged their waists and made a V sign, some pouted their lips and made a heart shape...

Even Shirley Yang, who grew up in the United States, felt excited, ashamed and embarrassed by this kind of scene.

Before the information flood of the times, the first 200 episodes of Green Grassland were everywhere.

Just like writing a novel, the edges and little sensibilities can only be expressed after it is put on the shelves.

I played too much before...

Easy to be forced to die young.

Just like that reckless He Pingchuan...

When Su Mu and Shirley Yang returned to the temporary rest area, they found Professor Chen and Professor Hao surrounding Fatty Wang and craning their necks to look.

The jade pendant on Wang Kaixuan’s neck.

Well, I guess they discovered the Ghost Cave Clan’s characters carved on the cave wall.

Printing, taking photos...

Chu Jian was directed by Professor Chen to take photos.

"Chu Jian, remember not to turn on the flash."

Su Mu thought of the next accident and reminded him specifically.

"Got it, Brother Su."

It would be better if you really knew.

Some intellectuals take all non-professional matters lightly, muddle through and do not take them seriously, and mistakes often occur because of these minor problems.

Repeatedly taught.

One has to make a serious mistake before he will mend his ways.

Well, not everyone will change their ways.

These people in front of me...

Su Mu shook his head slightly.

After the reckless passage through the glacier, human life failed to awaken their attention, and they went to the desert to continue their work.

In the original novel, if Hu Bayi had not been serious and responsible, and the iron triangle had not been surrounded by the halo of the protagonist, this group of people would have had no chance of getting out once they went in.

"Comrade Xiao Hu, let's move forward quickly. We really came to the right place this time. The Kunlun Glacier must have a deep relationship with Jingjue City. No wonder the previous scientific expedition team changed their route and came here..."

Professor Chen urged excitedly.

Hu Bayi wanted to wade across with Fatty first, but Professor Chen urged him urgently and seemed impatient, so Hu Bayi temporarily adjusted his strategy and had him and Fatty lead the way, while the others followed behind them and waded across the river.

Su Mu still walked behind Shirley Yang.

After taking photos and hugging each other, the distance between them has obviously shortened.

It was mainly Shirley Yang who did it on purpose.

Before she went into the river, she waited for Su Mu for a few seconds and tacitly kept a distance from him that they could hold hands.

After wading halfway through the water, Su Mu looked at Shirley Yang's scattered hair and frowned slightly.

Wait until we get ashore.

Su Mu suddenly grabbed Shirley Yang's hand.

Shirley Yang turned her head and said nothing.

But her bright eyes spoke, and the question was: "What's wrong? Why are you holding me?"

Su Mu spread out his hands.

"The situation ahead is unclear. Having your hair loose is not conducive to underground exploration. I'll tie your hair up for you."

Su Mu skillfully helped Shirley Yang tie her hair into a bun.

If you take off your down jacket and put on a cheongsam, it really looks like something from an anime.

But she has two buns, while Shirley Yang only has one.

She is not a little girl of fifteen or sixteen anymore. Su Mu knows how to tie two buns on her head, but he is afraid that Shirley Yang herself will not accept it.

It would be hard to explain if I was accused of pretending to be young.

After crossing the river and walking forward, a magnificent scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This, this is the legendary nine-story demon tower!"

Professor Chen sighed: "The nine-story demon tower in Qinghai is said to have been destroyed by a hero. This is the most complete tomb building that has never been discovered in the archaeological world..."

Su Mu looked at the blue light flickering on the entire demon tower, as well as the flickering halos on the corpses hanging on each floor, and his scalp tingled.

That's a lot of fire beetles.

If people with trypophobia come here, they will probably be in trouble immediately.

"It's too dangerous here, Professor Chen. I suggest that everyone keep quiet and evacuate immediately."

"Comrade Xiao Hu, it's rare to come across a place like this. We can't leave. We must at least conduct preliminary exploration and sampling first."

"This is playing with your life. Those flashing points of light should all be fire beetles. You know, there are only ten of us. If we really disturb them, we won't be enough for them to share..."

"We will try to be careful and not make too much noise. Comrade Xiao Hu, the advancement of archaeology requires us to take risks, and we will be careful."

Professor Hao Aiguo also accompanied Professor Chen to explain.

Not far away, Shirley Yang had already started walking up the tower.

Su Mu followed him and patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder.

"It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words. If the fire beetles are disturbed, everyone will escape based on their own abilities."

Although the words were not loud and were spoken in a low voice, everyone around could hear them clearly.

Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo were both stunned for a moment.

They are professors of archaeology in the capital, with the aura of saints. Wherever they go, they are looked up to, received with great ceremony, and actively cooperated with.

Su Mu's attitude and way of speaking, which did not hold them up high, was too approachable, which made them feel uncomfortable to accept from the bottom of their hearts.

As vested interests, they have become accustomed to the rules that revolve around them.

Even though they say all kinds of high-sounding words, subconsciously, they still believe that when the critical moment of life-threatening situation comes, they, the professors and intellectuals, will definitely be the last to die.

Because there will be people ahead who will rush forward to die for them.

However, Su Mu's words shattered this thought.

"Gawawa, big guy, the two of you retreat to the river. If anything unexpected happens here, we'll need you to provide cover."

"Captain Su...?"

"This is an order."

Su Mu frowned and said coldly: "If the fireflies wake up, the river will be the only chance to escape. You must guard the other side of the river and be ready to kill any sudden danger at any time."

Su Mu explained this to the big guy just now, and Ga Wa also heard what Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan said.

The river water is warm and not cold, and humans feel comfortable with it. How could other creatures not also feel comfortable and survive?

We still need to prepare for a rainy day.

"Yes!"

"and many more."

Su Mu called the big guy and Ga Wa again: "There are a lot of corpses at the bottom of the water. I'm sure there are probably carnivorous species in the water. Go into the water lightly, pass quickly, aim secretly, and be ready to respond and deal with sneak attacks at any time~"

The only two sharpshooter warriors trotted back the way they came.

Both Professor Chen and Professor Hao Aiguo showed a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Professor, don't you insist on sampling and exploring? Please."

Su Mu gestured with his hand, then patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder and chased after Shirley Yang.

Wang Kaixuan had been observing silently. Although he was not well educated, he was very smart and had a good ability to read people's expressions.

Seeing that the two professors hesitated and were no longer so righteous and confident, I subconsciously curled my lips.

He was a bystander and could see the other party's expression change several times more clearly than Hu Bayi.

Su Mu pulled off the fig leaf casually.

It's hard to get off the tiger's back now.

Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo finally chose the burial ditch far away from the Nine-story Demon Tower.

There were a lot of miscellaneous corpses there, both human and animal.

The advantage is that the risk factor is much lower.

In simple terms, if they disturb the fire beetles, this place is close to the cave entrance, so it will be convenient for them to escape first if they have weak legs and feet...
