The corpse freezer had already been cut off, and there was no air-conditioning in it, but Charlie still felt like he was in an ice cellar. A frightening chill surged up from the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help shrinking into Nate's arms.
In the desperate situation with no way out just now, Knight made a bold decision. She opened a drawer for storing corpses, and got in with Charlie in her arms.Like a sniper waiting for a target, she lay silently on the cold stainless steel plate, listening to the movement outside.
The refrigerator is well sealed, and the sound passes through the steel plate and becomes soft and fine.These messy and incomplete sounds, connected through imagination, formed horrifying images in Charlie's mind. He couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying experience he would have had if they were still outside.
With a "bang", something slammed into the refrigerator, dented the door inward, and bounced outward under the huge inertia.They can't lock the door inside, and there's no handle on the inside of the door—it's for frozen corpses, after all, and dead people don't open doors.
Charlie shrank back, all the way to the bottom of the drawer, his back pressed against the steel plate, not wanting to see what was going on outside.
Knight hooked the door with one hand, and at the moment it was about to close, a slender tail flew past the narrow line of sight, leaving behind a trail of black smoke.
Then there was the sound of tearing silk and the disgusting sound of bones twisting.After a rough panting, it was finally quiet outside.
"hiss--"
Knight gripped the door tightly, cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, and dripped lightly on the steel plate.The narrow space was suffocated, and even the sound of sweat dripping was particularly ear-piercing.
There was no movement outside, until Nat couldn't feel his fingers, and his body was forced to relax a little.
"Charlie," Nate called softly.
It was pitch black in the drawer, and she couldn't see the bottom of her feet.Charlie was probably too stunned to respond.
Knight carefully let go of her hand, and the deformed metal door quietly slid open a gap, and blood-red light slanted in. She looked back, and there was nothing behind.
"Charlie!" Knight subconsciously called out.
At this moment, the freezer shook violently and was shaken.Nate turned his head sharply, facing a cloudy, evil eye.
I saw a huge black head desperately squeezed into the narrow metal door, and Knight backed up quickly while raising his gun to shoot.
The monster seemed to be extremely angry, pulled out its head and slammed into the freezer with its huge body.Knight hit the black body with every shot, but it didn't work at all. The impact became more and more violent, and the stainless steel plate groaned unbearably.
Knight seemed to be bumping up and down in a huge wave, resisting with a gun in vain, and at the same time thinking about Charlie who disappeared.The monster tried to stretch its claws in to reach Nat. The giant claws had sharp nails, and they scratched against the steel plate, making a harsh and sharp sound.
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Knight shrank back hard, and suddenly kicked in the air.She turned her head and saw that the bottom baffle was kicked open, like a trap door.
Charlie probably fell while leaning on it. Knight didn't have time to think about it. He slid back and passed the trap smoothly, leaving the violent monster outside.
Behind the trap was a passage like a ventilation duct. She slid all the way down, took several gentle turns, and landed on a pile of soft things.
"Nate!" Charlie ran over with tears on his face.
Nat got up from a cart full of sheets and rags and looked around in the scarlet light.This is the basement level of the base. On the left is a huge furnace, and on the right are large barrels marked with dangerous items.
The trolley under her was supposed to be used for dirty clothes and sheets, but somehow it stopped in such a place.
Charlie was terrified: "Did you see what that thing is, is that guy behind the iron gate before?"
Knight thought so too.The people in the base found such a monster from nowhere and sealed it in the freezer.She jumped off the cart and speculated: "The monster is very similar to the black shadow in the ancient tomb of Wushan, but it is bigger and more ferocious. It can't freeze to death in the refrigerator. I think it may be a cold-blooded hibernator." animal."
Charlie hates cold-blooded animals. They often look sinister and evil, have the instinct to kill, and hide in the dark to wait for opportunities.But as huge as the monster just now, it doesn't need to hide at all, and any creature is no match for it.
"All the people in the base are missing, could it be related to the monster?" Charlie said.
Knight shook his head.She suspected that the monster might have been dug out from under the ice by the army. She thought it had been frozen as a specimen long ago, but unexpectedly it woke up in a warm environment.
At the same time, another troublesome thing happened on the base-the weird symptoms on the medical records.Unable to kill the monster and anxious to deal with the patient's madness and infection, they temporarily threw the monster into the freezer.
Knight flicked the tail he had seen before.The monster had a huge body, and the whip-thin tail obviously didn't grow on it.What's in the body bag?
Now they can't go back, they can only abandon the armory.Knight picked up the gun and said, "Let's go, there should be an exit underground, let's look for it."
Leaving the hazardous material handling room, there are more than a dozen rooms equipped with electronic locks on both sides of the corridor outside the door, all of which are locked.The basement floor was much colder than the upper one, and there was a layer of mud on the ground, which was frozen hard.
Half of the door at the end of the corridor was missing, and there was an empty hall inside. There was an elevator transporting heavy objects on the opposite side, and the console next to it was smashed.There is no power supply and no control device, the elevator is completely a decoration.
Knight recalled the emergency escape route map: "The power supply room should also be underground. Let's find out if we can connect to the power supply of the elevator."
Charlie frowned worriedly: "But the console is broken, and the elevator can't be opened."
Knight put the gun aside, pulled out the ice ax on his calf, and wedged it into the crack of the elevator door like a crowbar. Enduring the pain of his rib laceration, he tried his best to pry the door open.
The moment the door opened, a dark hand fell out.Charlie screamed and backed away.
Knight: "It's a dead man."
The man was wearing a military uniform and appeared to be a garrison at the base.His death was extremely horrific, half of his face was gone, and his clothes were stained black with blood.But he had a bullet hole in his forehead, so he must have been shot.
Knight kicked the body aside and checked the buttons in the elevator, which should work if they're powered.
There is an iron door on the left and right sides of the hall, the power distribution room is on the left, and the energy room is on the right.Knight didn't know what the energy room was for, and he didn't need it anyway, so he ignored it and opened the door of the power distribution room, and a rotten and moldy stench came over his face.
There is a row of machines inside, and there are text signs under each button, and each area is separated by a silver-gray metal frame, armory, activity area, dormitory, medical area... the prison.
In front of the controller are a dozen gray monitors. Nate finds the main power switch, which is a metal rod with a black dome on it. Just push it up to restore power.
She grabbed the round top, suddenly hesitated.The electricity meter beside him shows that the power of the base is sufficient. It can be seen that the power cut off of the base was not an accident, but man-made.
But why?
Charlie poked his head in and said anxiously, "What's the matter, can the power supply be restored?"
They couldn't find water in the base, and the food in the freezer had spoiled long after the power outage.Being in the same space with that kind of monster is frightening, and Su Teng and the others must be worried right now.
The elevator is used to transport heavy objects, and it must be able to lead to the outside of the base, which is their only way out.Knight gritted his teeth and pushed the metal rod to the top with light force on his hand.
With a buzzing sound, the overhead lighted up, the indicator lights on the controller flickered one by one, all the monitors were turned on, and all the powered equipment in the base began to restart and reset.
"Let's go," Charlie called.
Knight picked up his gun and walked out the door.On the monitor behind her, all the doors equipped with electronic locks in the base were opened——
The speed of the iron cage falling was so fast that it was difficult to stand upright, and the depth below was unknown, so if it fell like this, it would definitely break into lumps of meatloaf.
Su Teng pressed Duleding's shoulder: "Hold on to the iron bars."
Du Leding didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly supported the iron pillar beside him.Su Teng smashed the ground with his fist, scaring Lin Xiao and the others to retreat in a hurry.
"If you leak the bottom, aren't we going to fall?" someone roared angrily.
Su Teng ignored him, destroyed a hole enough for him to pass through, turned on the booster and flew down.Soon the cage shook violently, and the speed of descent gradually slowed down.
But the iron pillars of the cage are extremely heavy, and there are several strong men inside, so the overall weight can be imagined.Su Teng turned on the maximum power, gritted his teeth and persisted, sparks flew from the cave wall, and everyone inside and outside the cage was terrified.
Seeing the situation below clearly, Su Teng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and tried his best to push the cage away from the original track.The heavy cage hit the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of icy white smoke.Du Leding's eyes were blurred, and the faces of the others were also very bad, all hugging the iron pillar tightly.
Su Teng gasped and destroyed a pillar, and Du Leding jumped out first. The two were relieved when they saw that each other was safe and sound.
Lin Xiao followed closely behind, watching the two warily.Su Teng and Du Leding didn't pay attention to him. There was an underground ice cave in front of them, which looked like a karst landform. Huge ice stalactites protruded from all directions. Not far from them was an ice bridge stretching several hundred meters across. Between two cliffs.
There is a bottomless ice abyss under their feet. If Su Teng hadn't pushed the cage away just now, they would have fallen thousands of miles.
There was no way to go behind him, and the ice tunnel opposite the ice bridge became the only direction to go.Su Teng looked up and said to Du Leding, "I'll take you up."
Du Leding waved his arms: "Okay, take me to pretend to fly."
Su Teng smiled, and wrapped his arms around Du Leding's waist.The two acted like no one was around, as if they were the only ones in this underground world of ice and snow.
Lin Xiao forcibly intervened: "Wait a minute, don't you want to find Song Xiangqi's tomb?"
Du Leding asked puzzledly, "Who is Song Xiangqi?"
Lin Xiao clenched his longbow tightly: "You have also obtained a lot of clues so far."
Now that they are trapped in this kind of place, Du Leding has no intention of concealing it, but also has no intention of saying more: "It's just a bloody story between the three brothers and Jiang Li. Didn't you take the bronze box from Song Zhuo's tomb? It must be the truth of Song Zhuo's death."
"No." Lin Xiao pulled off his mask, exposing his hideous scars, and exhaled repeatedly, "It's about Song Xiangqi, he is Song Zhuo's eldest son, and later he inherited the throne."
Du Leding felt a little awkward about the face that was very similar to Knight, but with a completely different expression: "What did he do?"
Lin Xiao said: "These mausoleums and sacrificial altars with metal blocks are all man-made by his order."
Du Leding let go of Su Teng, finally became interested, and signaled Lin Xiao to continue talking.
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo killed his imperial brother Song Fu and took Jiang Li as his own. He actually wanted to learn a secret about eternal life."
Du Leding was not surprised. For the ancient feudal rulers, there was nothing more interesting to them than immortality and eternal existence. Qin Shihuang once sent someone to the sea to search for immortals, but it was a pity that the person never returned. Qin Shihuang died of taking drugs indiscriminately.
Du Leding: "Jiang Li's mother's tribe holds this secret?"
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo thought so, and Song Xiangqi thought so too. That's why we put Song Zhen's body into the demon coffin on the sacrificial altar, thinking that he would be able to come back to life."
Du Leding recalled the sighs of the thousand-year-old corpse in the coffin: "He... didn't come back to life?"
Lin Xiao sneered: "You know the situation in the demon coffin better than us, let alone whether it can really bring people back to life. Even if Song Zhen lives, he can only stay in the box forever, and he will still die as long as he comes out."
Du Leding nodded: "So Song Xiangqi failed. But isn't he Song Zhuo's son? Why do you want to revive Song Zhen?"
Lin Xiao frowned: "It's not mentioned in the silk book. But... the boss means that the content implies that Song Xiangqi's feelings for Song Zhen are very unusual."
Aren't they uncles and nephews... Du Leding made an unbelievable expression.
Lin Xiao continued: "Song Zhuo thought that Jiang Li had the ability to come back from the dead, so he guarded the corpse for seven days. When he saw the corpse began to rot, he beheaded Jiang Li in a rage."
Also planted trees.Du Leding thought to himself.
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo also thinks that Song Zhen visits Jiang Li frequently, and the two have a very close personal relationship. Maybe Jiang Li once revealed it to Song Zhen, so he pressed his brother a lot."
Du Leding crossed his arms and thought, "Actually, Jiang Li doesn't know the mystery of that tribe, does he?"
Lin Xiao: "He knew it, and he did hint to Song Zhen in a dark way, but Song Zhen couldn't understand it. It wasn't until Song Xiangqi heard some words that he thought of the relationship."
Jiang Li's mother's tribe is actually a branch of a mysterious ancient country.Du Leding guessed this correctly, and after Song Xiangqi discovered the location of the ancient country, he led his troops to the expedition. The murals they saw before described this event.
Du Leding felt enlightened for a while, but Su Teng still had doubts: "Song Xiangqi went to the ancient country, married Princess Wushan and returned to his hometown, but Song Zhen did not come back to life because of this, everything is just their fantasy?"
Lin Xiao was noncommittal: "Song Xiangqi claimed to have discovered the secret of resurrection from the dead and immortality in the ancient country, but what this secret is, it has left a mystery in the silk script. Therefore, only by finding Song Xiangqi's mausoleum can we solve this mystery."
Du Leding said: "Your boss thinks that the mausoleum here must belong to Song Xiangqi?"
"After all, it's the last anomalous point. If it wasn't..." Lin Xiao showed a cold smile, "You were bitten by the black fan ghost, right? Have you started to change recently?"
Su Teng's expression sank: "How do you know?"
Lin Xiao walked to the edge of the ice bridge, looked at the dark tunnel opposite, and said: "Song Xiangqi once mentioned in the silk script that at first he believed that the power of immortality came from that monster, and he made many attempts for it. I omitted the specific process, just said that it failed in the end, the so-called "immortality and immortality" is actually a very terrifying state."
"If you want to get rid of this state," Lin Xiao looked back at Du Leding, "you can only go to the lost ancient country——Wu Ze Country to find the answer."
Du Leding thought for a while: "Why is your boss so obsessed with this, and how did he discover Zhao Guo's series of things in the first place?"
Lin Xiao stepped on the ice bridge: "If he is willing to see you, maybe he will tell you. I don't know much about him, but I just use money to do things."
Du Leding and Su Teng naturally hoped to find the mausoleum.But Lin Xiao made them feel uneasy.Du Leding knew why Lin Xiao said these words. There are many dangers in this ice cave, and two more people will give him a chance to survive. What's more, Su Teng has a body armor, ordinary things can't hurt him, and it can be done at critical moments. Use him as a shield.
However, he also feels that cooperation is the safest way right now. Lin Xiao can use the two of them, and in turn, they can also use these mercenaries.Du Leding thought about it, and asked Su Teng with his eyes. Su Teng gestured: What should I do after I find the tomb?
Du Leding responded: adapt to the situation and preemptively strike.
Lin Xiao stood on the bridge and waited for them to talk dumb. Du Leding discussed with Su Teng, walked up to him, pointed at Su Teng and said, "Actually, he is very rich. How much did your boss spend to hire you? Can afford double."
Lin Xiao's expression didn't change, Du Leding said again: "What's more, your sister..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Lin Xiao turned and walked towards the bridge, "Hurry up and find the tomb."
Du Leding pouted, and the group followed Lin Xiao to the opposite side.The ice bridge is very wide, but very smooth, and the crampons on the soles make a creaking and scratching sound, which makes people dare not even relax their toes.
The ice abyss on both sides of the bridge is dizzying. I don't know if it is icicles or crystals that grow from the two walls like sharp knives.Du Leding chattered to the audience in the live broadcast room, and introduced the "new members" of the team.
Pointing at Lin Xiao's back, he said, "This is our archer, you can call him Old Bow."
Pointing to the five people behind him, he said, "This is Black Beard, Beautiful Boy, Little Pigtail, Lao Wang and Wang Cai."
The five glared at each other, wishing they could shoot Du Leding twice in the mouth.
Barrage: Lao Gong...hahahaha
Barrage: The beautiful boy is indeed beautiful, but he is not very young, so he should be called Uncle Mei.
Barrage: Ding Ding, can you pay attention to your feet, the ice is so slippery that it reflects light.
Barrage: slide carefully~~~
Lin Xiao said to Su Teng, "Is he always so talkative?"
Su Teng has no expression: "If you don't like to listen, you will cut off your ears."
Lin Xiao: "Then cover his mouth with my ears?"
Su Teng looked at Lin Xiao with frightened eyes.Lin Xiao felt that he would be pushed off the bridge by this man in the next second.He sneered, walked quickly to the front, and stopped talking to him.
Su Teng looked back at the relaxed Du Leding, and said worriedly, "Don't be distracted."
Du Leding explained: "Actually, I am very focused, but I look too free and easy."
He did pay attention to his feet. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he slipped or fell off the ice bridge?
The other end of the ice bridge leads directly into the ice tunnel, with smooth cliffs on both sides.About seven or eight minutes later, the group walked to the edge of the ice bridge safe and sound. In front of them was a three-meter-high tunnel. Lin Xiao shone a flashlight into it and said to Su Teng, "Go ahead."
Du Leding smiled disdainfully and said: "Do you think you are the commander-in-chief, the commander, and we are the little soldiers under your command? We don't have to go, we can go back the same way."
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes: "You want to find Song Xiangqi's tomb more than I do."
Du Leding said: "You're right, but I think I can last for a while, why don't I go back to sleep and come back when I'm in a better mood."
Several other mercenaries raised their guns one after another, and Su Teng stood in front of Du Leding and pointed to the top of his head: "Look at that."
There are murals with simple lines engraved on the top of the ice cave. Du Leding laughed and said, "It's a bit like the stickman I drew."
Su Teng said in a low voice, "Not as good as yours."
Du Leding was full of air: "Young man, you have a good eye for hin."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at the two of them, then looked at the murals.The murals are divided into three groups. The number of matches in each group is different, but the common point is that in the last painting of each group, only one stickman is standing, and the others are lying on the ground.
Du Leding's expression was shocked: "This tunnel may be the entrance to the tomb."
Lin Xiao: "What is the basis?"
"Is it necessary to mark 'Precautions' in ordinary caves?" Du Leding pointed to the murals, "This obviously tells us that there are organs inside."
Lin Xiao didn't know, so: "What institution?"
Du Leding smiled slightly: "You still don't understand, no matter how many people go in, only one can pass through alive in the end."
Lin Xiao and the people behind him changed their faces, and the black beard shouted: "How is this possible? What kind of agency can judge the living and the dead?"
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and find out the way, and try to see if this mechanism can judge the living dead," Du Leding said leisurely, "We are waiting here."
Even if you don't believe it, no one dares to enter it rashly.Lin Xiao stared at Du Leding closely, doubting the credibility of his words.
"It's easy to handle." Lin Xiao didn't know what to think, and pulled out a smile, "Since only one person can survive, it's enough to go in one at a time."
"Are you sure this is a good way?" The mural did not indicate what would happen if he entered the ice tunnel alone. Du Leding felt very uncomfortable with Lin Xiao's proposal, "Besides, who do you think should go in first?"
Lin Xiao pointed to Su Teng: "He or you are both suitable."
Lin Xiao believes that Su Teng has a much higher chance of survival than others, and Du Leding is familiar with the mechanism of the ancient tomb, so he is the best candidate to lead the way.
"How can I be willing to let my little Susu and myself take risks," Du Leding said casually, "Besides, there are only two of us, if something happens to one of us, the other will face you alone Six. Isn't it fair for cooperation?"
"That's right," Lin Xiao raised his mechanical bow and aimed it at Du Leding, "There are only two of you."
The five guns behind him also aimed at the two of them. Du Le Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "We are still standing on the ice bridge, are you sure we want to start a war? The result is definitely a lose-lose."
Lin Xiao said: "Let's see who is quicker."
Su Teng stood in front. Du Leding was not worried about guns and ammunition, but he was very worried about Lin Xiao's special arrow. Although it would not cause damage to Su Teng, he could use the electromagnetic force to paralyze the mech to make a fatal attack. move.
On this bare ice bridge, any mistake could lead to a fall.Du Leding still doesn't want to be a "juvenile who has lost his footing."
The two sides were in a stalemate, and when Du Leding was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages, Su Teng suddenly raised his arm and shot a row of bullets into the ice bridge.Just hearing a "click", a frightening crack spread horizontally, the entire ice bridge shook violently, and sank down suddenly. It only stopped for a second, and then collapsed.
In that critical second, everyone jumped into the entrance of the ice tunnel in unison, watching the huge ice bridge getting farther and farther in sight in horror.
Lin Xiao stared at Su Teng with a frosty face, as if a pair of arrows could be shot out of his eyes.
Su Teng looked indifferent, and said calmly: "Now there is no need to argue about who is the first to enter the tunnel."
In the desperate situation with no way out just now, Knight made a bold decision. She opened a drawer for storing corpses, and got in with Charlie in her arms.Like a sniper waiting for a target, she lay silently on the cold stainless steel plate, listening to the movement outside.
The refrigerator is well sealed, and the sound passes through the steel plate and becomes soft and fine.These messy and incomplete sounds, connected through imagination, formed horrifying images in Charlie's mind. He couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying experience he would have had if they were still outside.

Then there was the sound of tearing silk and the disgusting sound of bones twisting.After a rough panting, it was finally quiet outside.
"hiss--"
Knight gripped the door tightly, cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, and dripped lightly on the steel plate.The narrow space was suffocated, and even the sound of sweat dripping was particularly ear-piercing.
There was no movement outside, until Nat couldn't feel his fingers, and his body was forced to relax a little.
"Charlie," Nate called softly.
It was pitch black in the drawer, and she couldn't see the bottom of her feet.Charlie was probably too stunned to respond.
Knight carefully let go of her hand, and the deformed metal door quietly slid open a gap, and blood-red light slanted in. She looked back, and there was nothing behind.
"Charlie!" Knight subconsciously called out.
At this moment, the freezer shook violently and was shaken.Nate turned his head sharply, facing a cloudy, evil eye.
I saw a huge black head desperately squeezed into the narrow metal door, and Knight backed up quickly while raising his gun to shoot.
The monster seemed to be extremely angry, pulled out its head and slammed into the freezer with its huge body.Knight hit the black body with every shot, but it didn't work at all. The impact became more and more violent, and the stainless steel plate groaned unbearably.
Knight seemed to be bumping up and down in a huge wave, resisting with a gun in vain, and at the same time thinking about Charlie who disappeared.The monster tried to stretch its claws in to reach Nat. The giant claws had sharp nails, and they scratched against the steel plate, making a harsh and sharp sound.
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Knight shrank back hard, and suddenly kicked in the air.She turned her head and saw that the bottom baffle was kicked open, like a trap door.

Behind the trap was a passage like a ventilation duct. She slid all the way down, took several gentle turns, and landed on a pile of soft things.
"Nate!" Charlie ran over with tears on his face.
Nat got up from a cart full of sheets and rags and looked around in the scarlet light.This is the basement level of the base. On the left is a huge furnace, and on the right are large barrels marked with dangerous items.
The trolley under her was supposed to be used for dirty clothes and sheets, but somehow it stopped in such a place.
Charlie was terrified: "Did you see what that thing is, is that guy behind the iron gate before?"
Knight thought so too.The people in the base found such a monster from nowhere and sealed it in the freezer.She jumped off the cart and speculated: "The monster is very similar to the black shadow in the ancient tomb of Wushan, but it is bigger and more ferocious.

Now they can't go back, they can only abandon the armory.Knight picked up the gun and said, "Let's go, there should be an exit underground, let's look for it."
Leaving the hazardous material handling room, there are more than a dozen rooms equipped with electronic locks on both sides of the corridor outside the door, all of which are locked.The basement floor was much colder than the upper one, and there was a layer of mud on the ground, which was frozen hard.
Half of the door at the end of the corridor was missing, and there was an empty hall inside. There was an elevator transporting heavy objects on the opposite side, and the console next to it was smashed.There is no power supply and no control device, the elevator is completely a decoration.
Knight recalled the emergency escape route map: "The power supply room should also be underground. Let's find out if we can connect to the power supply of the elevator."
Charlie frowned worriedly: "But the console is broken, and the elevator can't be opened."
Knight put the gun aside, pulled out the ice ax on his calf, and wedged it into the crack of the elevator door like a crowbar. Enduring the pain of his rib laceration, he tried his best to pry the door open.
The moment the door opened, a dark hand fell out.Charlie screamed and backed away.
Knight: "It's a dead man."
The man was wearing a military uniform and appeared to be a garrison at the base.His death was extremely horrific, half of his face was gone, and his clothes were stained black with blood.But he had a bullet hole in his forehead, so he must have been shot.

Su Teng gasped and destroyed a pillar, and Du Leding jumped out first. The two were relieved when they saw that each other was safe and sound.
Lin Xiao followed closely behind, watching the two warily.Su Teng and Du Leding didn't pay attention to him. There was an underground ice cave in front of them, which looked like a karst landform. Huge ice stalactites protruded from all directions. Not far from them was an ice bridge stretching several hundred meters across. Between two cliffs.
There is a bottomless ice abyss under their feet. If Su Teng hadn't pushed the cage away just now, they would have fallen thousands of miles.
There was no way to go behind him, and the ice tunnel opposite the ice bridge became the only direction to go.Su Teng looked up and said to Du Leding, "I'll take you up."
Du Leding waved his arms: "Okay, take me to pretend to fly."
Su Teng smiled, and wrapped his arms around Du Leding's waist.The two acted like no one was around, as if they were the only ones in this underground world of ice and snow.
Lin Xiao forcibly intervened: "Wait a minute, don't you want to find Song Xiangqi's tomb?"
Du Leding asked puzzledly, "Who is Song Xiangqi?"
Lin Xiao clenched his longbow tightly: "You have also obtained a lot of clues so far."
Now that they are trapped in this kind of place, Du Leding has no intention of concealing it, but also has no intention of saying more: "It's just a bloody story between the three brothers and Jiang Li. Didn't you take the bronze box from Song Zhuo's tomb? It must be the truth of Song Zhuo's death."
"No." Lin Xiao pulled off his mask, exposing his hideous scars, and exhaled repeatedly, "It's about Song Xiangqi, he is Song Zhuo's eldest son, and later he inherited the throne."
Du Leding felt a little awkward about the face that was very similar to Knight, but with a completely different expression: "What did he do?"
Lin Xiao said: "These mausoleums and sacrificial altars with metal blocks are all man-made by his order."
Du Leding let go of Su Teng, finally became interested, and signaled Lin Xiao to continue talking.
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo killed his imperial brother Song Fu and took Jiang Li as his own. He actually wanted to learn a secret about eternal life."
Du Leding was not surprised. For the ancient feudal rulers, there was nothing more interesting to them than immortality and eternal existence. Qin Shihuang once sent someone to the sea to search for immortals, but it was a pity that the person never returned. Qin Shihuang died of taking drugs indiscriminately.
Du Leding: "Jiang Li's mother's tribe holds this secret?"
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo thought so, and Song Xiangqi thought so too. That's why we put Song Zhen's body into the demon coffin on the sacrificial altar, thinking that he would be able to come back to life."
Du Leding recalled the sighs of the thousand-year-old corpse in the coffin: "He... didn't come back to life?"
Lin Xiao sneered: "You know the situation in the demon coffin better than us, let alone whether it can really bring people back to life. Even if Song Zhen lives, he can only stay in the box forever, and he will still die as long as he comes out."
Du Leding nodded: "So Song Xiangqi failed. But isn't he Song Zhuo's son? Why do you want to revive Song Zhen?"
Lin Xiao frowned: "It's not mentioned in the silk book. But... the boss means that the content implies that Song Xiangqi's feelings for Song Zhen are very unusual."
Aren't they uncles and nephews... Du Leding made an unbelievable expression.
Lin Xiao continued: "Song Zhuo thought that Jiang Li had the ability to come back from the dead, so he guarded the corpse for seven days. When he saw the corpse began to rot, he beheaded Jiang Li in a rage."
Also planted trees.Du Leding thought to himself.
Lin Xiao: "Song Zhuo also thinks that Song Zhen visits Jiang Li frequently, and the two have a very close personal relationship. Maybe Jiang Li once revealed it to Song Zhen, so he pressed his brother a lot."
Du Leding crossed his arms and thought, "Actually, Jiang Li doesn't know the mystery of that tribe, does he?"
Lin Xiao: "He knew it, and he did hint to Song Zhen in a dark way, but Song Zhen couldn't understand it. It wasn't until Song Xiangqi heard some words that he thought of the relationship."
Jiang Li's mother's tribe is actually a branch of a mysterious ancient country.Du Leding guessed this correctly, and after Song Xiangqi discovered the location of the ancient country, he led his troops to the expedition. The murals they saw before described this event.
Du Leding felt enlightened for a while, but Su Teng still had doubts: "Song Xiangqi went to the ancient country, married Princess Wushan and returned to his hometown, but Song Zhen did not come back to life because of this, everything is just their fantasy?"
Lin Xiao was noncommittal: "Song Xiangqi claimed to have discovered the secret of resurrection from the dead and immortality in the ancient country, but what this secret is, it has left a mystery in the silk script. Therefore, only by finding Song Xiangqi's mausoleum can we solve this mystery."
Du Leding said: "Your boss thinks that the mausoleum here must belong to Song Xiangqi?"
"After all, it's the last anomalous point. If it wasn't..." Lin Xiao showed a cold smile, "You were bitten by the black fan ghost, right? Have you started to change recently?"
Su Teng's expression sank: "How do you know?"
Lin Xiao walked to the edge of the ice bridge, looked at the dark tunnel opposite, and said: "Song Xiangqi once mentioned in the silk script that at first he believed that the power of immortality came from that monster, and he made many attempts for it. I omitted the specific process, just said that it failed in the end, the so-called "immortality and immortality" is actually a very terrifying state."
"If you want to get rid of this state," Lin Xiao looked back at Du Leding, "you can only go to the lost ancient country——Wu Ze Country to find the answer."
Du Leding thought for a while: "Why is your boss so obsessed with this, and how did he discover Zhao Guo's series of things in the first place?"
Lin Xiao stepped on the ice bridge: "If he is willing to see you, maybe he will tell you. I don't know much about him, but I just use money to do things."
Du Leding and Su Teng naturally hoped to find the mausoleum.But Lin Xiao made them feel uneasy.Du Leding knew why Lin Xiao said these words. There are many dangers in this ice cave, and two more people will give him a chance to survive. What's more, Su Teng has a body armor, ordinary things can't hurt him, and it can be done at critical moments. Use him as a shield.
However, he also feels that cooperation is the safest way right now. Lin Xiao can use the two of them, and in turn, they can also use these mercenaries.Du Leding thought about it, and asked Su Teng with his eyes. Su Teng gestured: What should I do after I find the tomb?
Du Leding responded: adapt to the situation and preemptively strike.
Lin Xiao stood on the bridge and waited for them to talk dumb. Du Leding discussed with Su Teng, walked up to him, pointed at Su Teng and said, "Actually, he is very rich. How much did your boss spend to hire you? Can afford double."
Lin Xiao's expression didn't change, Du Leding said again: "What's more, your sister..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Lin Xiao turned and walked towards the bridge, "Hurry up and find the tomb."
Du Leding pouted, and the group followed Lin Xiao to the opposite side.The ice bridge is very wide, but very smooth, and the crampons on the soles make a creaking and scratching sound, which makes people dare not even relax their toes.
The ice abyss on both sides of the bridge is dizzying. I don't know if it is icicles or crystals that grow from the two walls like sharp knives.Du Leding chattered to the audience in the live broadcast room, and introduced the "new members" of the team.
Pointing at Lin Xiao's back, he said, "This is our archer, you can call him Old Bow."
Pointing to the five people behind him, he said, "This is Black Beard, Beautiful Boy, Little Pigtail, Lao Wang and Wang Cai."
The five glared at each other, wishing they could shoot Du Leding twice in the mouth.
Barrage: Lao Gong...hahahaha
Barrage: The beautiful boy is indeed beautiful, but he is not very young, so he should be called Uncle Mei.
Barrage: Ding Ding, can you pay attention to your feet, the ice is so slippery that it reflects light.
Barrage: slide carefully~~~
Lin Xiao said to Su Teng, "Is he always so talkative?"
Su Teng has no expression: "If you don't like to listen, you will cut off your ears."
Lin Xiao: "Then cover his mouth with my ears?"
Su Teng looked at Lin Xiao with frightened eyes.Lin Xiao felt that he would be pushed off the bridge by this man in the next second.He sneered, walked quickly to the front, and stopped talking to him.
Su Teng looked back at the relaxed Du Leding, and said worriedly, "Don't be distracted."
Du Leding explained: "Actually, I am very focused, but I look too free and easy."
He did pay attention to his feet. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he slipped or fell off the ice bridge?
The other end of the ice bridge leads directly into the ice tunnel, with smooth cliffs on both sides.About seven or eight minutes later, the group walked to the edge of the ice bridge safe and sound. In front of them was a three-meter-high tunnel. Lin Xiao shone a flashlight into it and said to Su Teng, "Go ahead."
Du Leding smiled disdainfully and said: "Do you think you are the commander-in-chief, the commander, and we are the little soldiers under your command? We don't have to go, we can go back the same way."
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes: "You want to find Song Xiangqi's tomb more than I do."
Du Leding said: "You're right, but I think I can last for a while, why don't I go back to sleep and come back when I'm in a better mood."
Several other mercenaries raised their guns one after another, and Su Teng stood in front of Du Leding and pointed to the top of his head: "Look at that."
There are murals with simple lines engraved on the top of the ice cave. Du Leding laughed and said, "It's a bit like the stickman I drew."
Su Teng said in a low voice, "Not as good as yours."
Du Leding was full of air: "Young man, you have a good eye for hin."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at the two of them, then looked at the murals.The murals are divided into three groups. The number of matches in each group is different, but the common point is that in the last painting of each group, only one stickman is standing, and the others are lying on the ground.
Du Leding's expression was shocked: "This tunnel may be the entrance to the tomb."
Lin Xiao: "What is the basis?"
"Is it necessary to mark 'Precautions' in ordinary caves?" Du Leding pointed to the murals, "This obviously tells us that there are organs inside."
Lin Xiao didn't know, so: "What institution?"
Du Leding smiled slightly: "You still don't understand, no matter how many people go in, only one can pass through alive in the end."
Lin Xiao and the people behind him changed their faces, and the black beard shouted: "How is this possible? What kind of agency can judge the living and the dead?"
"If you don't believe me, go ahead and find out the way, and try to see if this mechanism can judge the living dead," Du Leding said leisurely, "We are waiting here."
Even if you don't believe it, no one dares to enter it rashly.Lin Xiao stared at Du Leding closely, doubting the credibility of his words.
"It's easy to handle." Lin Xiao didn't know what to think, and pulled out a smile, "Since only one person can survive, it's enough to go in one at a time."
"Are you sure this is a good way?" The mural did not indicate what would happen if he entered the ice tunnel alone. Du Leding felt very uncomfortable with Lin Xiao's proposal, "Besides, who do you think should go in first?"
Lin Xiao pointed to Su Teng: "He or you are both suitable."
Lin Xiao believes that Su Teng has a much higher chance of survival than others, and Du Leding is familiar with the mechanism of the ancient tomb, so he is the best candidate to lead the way.
"How can I be willing to let my little Susu and myself take risks," Du Leding said casually, "Besides, there are only two of us, if something happens to one of us, the other will face you alone Six. Isn't it fair for cooperation?"
"That's right," Lin Xiao raised his mechanical bow and aimed it at Du Leding, "There are only two of you."
The five guns behind him also aimed at the two of them. Du Le Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "We are still standing on the ice bridge, are you sure we want to start a war? The result is definitely a lose-lose."
Lin Xiao said: "Let's see who is quicker."
Su Teng stood in front. Du Leding was not worried about guns and ammunition, but he was very worried about Lin Xiao's special arrow. Although it would not cause damage to Su Teng, he could use the electromagnetic force to paralyze the mech to make a fatal attack. move.
On this bare ice bridge, any mistake could lead to a fall.Du Leding still doesn't want to be a "juvenile who has lost his footing."
The two sides were in a stalemate, and when Du Leding was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages, Su Teng suddenly raised his arm and shot a row of bullets into the ice bridge.Just hearing a "click", a frightening crack spread horizontally, the entire ice bridge shook violently, and sank down suddenly. It only stopped for a second, and then collapsed.
In that critical second, everyone jumped into the entrance of the ice tunnel in unison, watching the huge ice bridge getting farther and farther in sight in horror.
Lin Xiao stared at Su Teng with a frosty face, as if a pair of arrows could be shot out of his eyes.
Su Teng looked indifferent, and said calmly: "Now there is no need to argue about who is the first to enter the tunnel."
