Chapter 140 47 Strange Corpses and Survivors From 20 Years Ago [Two in One]
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 acted immediately 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 glanced around, 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 group 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, Han Xian may go to other places, or he may have run out 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 he entered this place before, Zheng Yun turned down the volume of the intercom in order not to violate Han Xian's taboo. Moreover, as 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 a reply from the intercom, 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 the path from right to left along the opposite ice wall. However, their position was low and they couldn't see anything on the road due to 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. There are 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, the Sea Guard likes to do something in this kind of corner, maybe there is a secret passage in this river.
But now I can't take care of these.
"Let's go." Zheng Yun knew that Ji Dao just mentioned it. With his personality, if he really saw any clues, he would definitely tell him immediately. If he didn't mention it, he didn't have any idea.
Ji Dao nodded.
The four of them returned along the original route, climbed up the iron chain bridge, walked along the iron chain bridge to the opposite ice wall, and returned to the front of the ice wall. Zheng Yun reached out to test whether the rope was firm.
The rope was fine.
Then let the ghost general go first.
When the two ghost generals grabbed the rope and started to climb, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao followed closely behind, keeping a distance from them.
Soon the ghost general climbed to the top. Zheng Yun kept looking up, and didn't see any warning action of the ghost general drawing his sword.
Zheng Yun accelerated to climb the path.
The flashlight swept left and right, and there was indeed no one on the road, only a lonely flashlight.
But there was a rope on the ground, which led to the front. At this moment, it was still trembling slightly, as if someone was pulling the rope. It should be left by Hu Ruihua and his team.
This is a mark.
Hu Ruihua and his team must have encountered something.
"Let's go."
Zheng Yun immediately ran forward along the rope.
The four of them took a complete step, ran a few hundred meters around the iron chain bridge, and even saw from a distance that at the bottom of the rift valley in the distance, there was another wall exactly the same as the previous one.
But the rope did not go over. They walked a few hundred meters and saw the rope go out along a gap.
There was actually a robbery hole here.
I don't know who dug it.
Zheng Yun didn't have time to think about it, so he asked the ghost general to run to the edge of the gap immediately. He and Ji Dao followed closely, stood on the edge of the gap, and looked outside with flashlights.
This is also an open-air ice valley, the area is not very large, and it is almost the same as the previous ice valley.
But in this ice valley, there are actually several corpses, all of whom are members of the scientific expedition team. They were placed on a plastic sheet for outdoor camping, a total of five neatly arranged.
"This is..."
Ji Dao was shocked.
The five bodies have one thing in common, that is, their eyeballs are all black holes, as if they were dug out by someone.
It is exactly the same as the body of the scientific expedition team they encountered in the frozen attic before, except that these bodies are relatively intact and have not lost their lower body.
But it is also a little different from the last time. When they encountered the body just now, the situation was more urgent and panicked, and there was no time to look carefully. Now they can see more details at a glance.
The oxygen masks on the faces of these bodies have been taken off, and you can see that there are bloodstains on their mouths and noses. The blood is not much, but it can be said that they are bleeding from all seven orifices, and some blood is flowing out of their ears.
This situation looks like they fell to death.
I don't know where they fell from, but it should have nothing to do with this open-air ice valley. This is not the first scene. Their bodies were obviously placed together by someone.
There are too many places where they can fall to death.
The rift valley and the Sacrifice Cave just now can both cause people to fall to death, but combined with the holes in their eyes, they are likely to have run out from the Sacrifice Cave.
Is this the body that Hu Ruihua and his team found? And then temporarily placed here? Or, did the expedition team put the body here?
Zheng Yun was more inclined to the former.
If the body was found, Hu Ruihua and his team had enough reasons to leave without permission and leave clues.
After roughly scanning the body, Zheng Yun continued to look forward along the rope, hoping to see the figures of Hu Ruihua and his team.
But strangely, the rope actually led to the deepest part. This ice valley was curved, and there was a small iceberg with a height of only about ten meters in the middle, blocking the line of sight.
Ji Dao squatted down to look at the body.
Zheng Yun led the ghost generals to bypass the small iceberg, wanting to see what was behind it. The front was exposed to the aurora, and it could be roughly seen even without a flashlight.
Just around.
Many things appeared in front of him.
Zheng Yun took a closer look and found that there were actually a few scattered bodies in front, distributed on the edge of a small cave. The rope led to this cave and entered from the cave.
"Master Xian, these people died in a strange way. Several of them had water marks on their bodies and liquid in their lungs. It was a bit like they were drowned or drowned first, and then fell to death." Ji Dao hurried over and said seriously.
Then he also saw other corpses in front of him.
These corpses were in another situation. They seemed to have walked here alive, and then they died for some reason. Each corpse had a movement, either lying down or with legs split, which was different from the corpses just now.
"Did Hu Ruihua and the others go down this hole?" Zheng Yun frowned. With Hu Ruihua's character, he shouldn't be so reckless. If combined with the corpses on the ground.
It is very likely that something chased them to this place. All the corpses on the ground were facing this hole. It is very likely that they were killed by something while running.
Then Hu Ruihua may have encountered a similar situation. They found corpses here. Just after collecting a few, they found something and could only escape from this hole...
But what did they encounter?
There were only marks left by people on the ground, and no other traces could be seen. Even the species of this thing could not be judged. It was only known that it was definitely not a tongueless thing.
The tongueless creatures are barefoot.
Their footprints are easy to identify.
"Master Xian, what should we do?"
Ji Dao also saw the problem and quietly pulled out a sharp sword from the collar of his winter jacket on his back.
"Go to the entrance of the cave and take a look. Can you hear anything?" Zheng Yun took out his pistol and walked forward.
The several people coordinated their steps, lined up in a row to block all directions, and slowly walked forward towards the hole on the ground.
As they approached.
The situation inside the cave gradually emerged.
The flashlight shone into the cave, but it turned out that the cave was very deep, estimated to be dozens of meters deep. You must walk to the edge to really see what is in the cave.
Zheng Yun and Ji Dao both held their breath, walked carefully to the edge of the cave to prevent themselves from slipping, and looked down.
The cave is very narrow.
The diameter is only more than one meter.
But the shape is also very irregular, and it looks like a stolen hole, definitely not a naturally formed cave.
The flashlight shines into the depths.
The cave is indeed dozens of meters deep.
It is pitch black below, and some very strange shadows can be seen, and there are a lot of broken ice debris that prove that the cave was just opened not long ago, and it should have been made by the scientific expedition team before.
"Is it a ship?"
Ji Dao guessed first.
The flashlight can find something like a wooden board, but due to the size of the hole, it is really hard to see more.
"Listen."
Zheng Yun turned his head to look at Ji Dao.
Ji Dao nodded, turned his head to the hole, closed his eyes and listened very attentively, and then his expression gradually changed.
After a while.
He opened his eyes and said: "Hu Ruihua and the others are alive. I heard their voices in this hole, but they seemed to be digging a hole, not running away."
"Digging a hole? How did you hear that?"
Zheng Yun frowned. What kind of hole is being dug in this place?
"Xianye, I heard the sound of ice chiseling. The distance is very far, but I can be sure that it is them, because Hu Zi's voice is very obvious." Ji Dao listened again and explained.
"Do they sound panicked?"
Zheng Yun asked while taking out the walkie-talkie. If it is at this distance, the signal should be transmitted.
"Very quickly, I can't hear it." Ji Dao shook his head.
"Is there anyone? Hello? Where are you?" Zheng Yun pressed the walkie-talkie button to ask.
Rustle.
There is an electric current sound on the walkie-talkie.
After a while, the intercom suddenly rang: "Brother Zheng, we have been forced into a strange place. Don't come over here. There is a weird person here."
"What weird person?" Zheng Yun's scalp numbed.
"We just walked around and found a gap and went in to take a look. As a result, we saw many corpses on the ground. Just when we were about to go back to wait for you, we saw a figure on the other side of the rift. The figure ran away when he saw us."
"We were also scared and immediately retreated to the gap. As a result, we found a cave here, and then we heard someone talking inside, so we went down to take a look."
"There is a living person here, with a scruffy beard like a tramp. He said his name is Kadester. His skin is ulcerated all over his body, and his brain is also damaged. Judging from his clothes, he seems to have fallen into this cave many years ago."
Hu Zi introduced the situation.
Zheng Yun was shocked. He had some impression of this Kadester. Maybe he was a member of the archaeological team 20 years ago!
