Chapter 224: The Eerie Wankong Mountain
Silence, deathly silence makes the atmosphere rendered a horror, four or five tents surrounded together also can not give people any sense of security, the only small to come a little closer to Cai Ling to be able to rest a little bit, Cai Ling mysterious and unpredictable daojutsu gave him inexplicable self-confidence.
But Cai Ling? Is he afraid? Of course he was afraid, but he was not afraid of his own life and death, but sent Du Ming and the search and rescue team to die, after entering the mountain Cai Ling felt the horror of this place.
At noon Cai Ling and Xu Yang reached the last mountain village before entering the mountains, and after meeting up with the search and rescue team there, they set off again.
This time, there were only ten people, Cai Ling, Liu Qianglai, Yao Jun, a hunter A Long and six professional search and rescue team members.
Each of the ten people carried a large bag of things, this time they need to enter the mountain for three days, after three days no matter the result will be completely back no longer enter the mountain, especially that hunter A Long, he said, the mountain has a temper, frequent walking will make the mountain angry, so next time he is sure not to come.
But it seems not to wait for the next time, because this time the mountain seems to be angry, Cai Ling and others just walked about ten miles of the road the weather suddenly changed, the sky clouds suddenly gathered up a shower, almost drenched the crowd into a soup chicken, and so the rain stopped in front of the fog, can not go, coupled with the rain slippery road can not move forward at all, can only find a place to camp.
After stopping, A Long's constant prayers triggered the fear of the crowd, yes, although it is now spring, but I have heard of the spring rain, but I have never heard of the spring will have such showers, and not early not late not to favor them into the mountains on the next, which is also too bizarre right.
"Captain Yao Jun, go gather the people together for a meeting." Cai Ling said after walking past Yao Jun's tent, Yao Jun nodded, although he was a professional search and rescue team leader, but Cai Ling was Du Ming's classmate, and this time, he was jointly commissioned by several families, and he had more power than him in terms of direction.
"I know everyone is a bit scared today, but this going into the mountains should all encounter this kind of thing right, so what I want to tell you is there is no need to be afraid at all, this time we not only added new manpower, but also added a lot of high tech equipment, Xiao Lai, you introduce the introduction."
"Okay, everyone please look, this is the military's pyrotechnic rescuer, after unplugging it the seven-colored smoke can last for half an hour, it can be seen from five kilometers away, waterproof and shock-proof the latest type of satellite phone, even in a very complicated place there can still be information, this is the life detector, it is also the newest type, it's simple and practical, relying on the person's thermostat and brainwave to detect it, it's coverage is five square meters. Continuous use time is more than twenty-four hours …… " Xiao Lai began to show the equipment brought this time, these things can be all Xu Yang got, it seems that he is still very attentive to pleasing Tang Xue Ru.
Cai Ling and Ah Long didn't have any feelings about these high techs, but Yao Jun, these professional people were shocked, he certainly knew how hard it was to get these things, especially that life detector, it was absolutely priced to sell, and it was extremely rare on the black market, and his confidence increased a lot all of a sudden.
"It looks like everyone isn't afraid anymore, that's good, all of you go to bed early, you'll have the strength to search tomorrow, right, everyone doesn't have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and all that, right?" Cai Ling laughed.
"Haha, brother Lin, you think too much, not to mention our professional search and rescue team is a little deeper experience wilderness enthusiasts know, night ah try to drink less water, in the tent is the safest." Yao Jun laughed, this is professional knowledge, like domestic horror movies in the wild in the middle of the night to get up to go to the toilet in distress plot is certainly not, here is a big mountain deep, strange and weird things who knows what, tent is the safest, not only is there someone around, the tent side there is also a fire, repellent powder can also avoid the harm of the snakes, insects, rats and ants.
"That's good, all go to sleep." Cai Ling laughed, he had already done his hand around the tent, as long as no one got up in the middle of the night, it would keep them safe.
"Xiao Lai, don't sleep to death at night, I'll do it if there's a commotion, you protect everyone okay?" The tent only brought five, so it needed two people to sleep in one, and Cai Ling rightfully joined Liu Qianglai, this Liu Qianglai was Xu Yang's beloved, his hands must be good, and Cai Ling trusted him.
Liu Qianglai nodded his head yes with a flash of light in his eyes, although he didn't know why, but he just had to do as he was told, being a soldier takes obeying orders as a vocation, before entering the mountains his old superior Xu Yang had already told him that after entering the mountains he would unconditionally listen to Cai Ling, and of course, right now Cai Ling was still called Lin Cai.
"Poof!" In the middle of the night a very small sound rang out, Cai Ling who was in a daze was awakened, one hand was already holding the token, his spiritual energy was already mobilized, while the other hand was covering Liu Qianglai's shoulder, telling him not to move.
A dark shadow outside the tent stayed for a long time, but in the end, he turned away, there was always a feeling in the small tent that made him feel dangerous, he didn't dare to take any chances.
"Sleep!" Cai Ling gave Xiao Lai a mouth gesture and didn't go out to see, in this unknown situation to wait and see what happens is the best choice, but Cai Ling's expectation of Du Ming surviving is one point smaller.
At dawn, Cai Ling got up at the earliest and stared at the place where the dark shadow stood last night for a long time before finally cupping a handful of soil and burying the ashes on the ground.
After breakfast the crowd began to rush, even if the fog has not completely dissipated, the same, this neighborhood ten miles of road they have been back and forth several times without a little danger, but another ten miles to let them be alarmed, because that is the most dangerous place, not only snakes, insects, rats and ants are particularly large and fierce beasts, the previous few days on the basis of the large number of people to go in, but soon there are a number of people in danger, and immediately retreated back.
Professional search and rescue team and a swarm of people on the mountain rescue method is very different, many people mainly rely on the net type search, rely on the sound of people shouting to find also survived the people in distress, while the professional needs to be supported by professional knowledge.
Because the person in distress is also a professional expedition, so they tend to analyze the most likely place to survive in the mountains, more water places, caves, or places that can avoid fierce animals.
And to find these in addition to relying on their own experience, the most important thing is to identify the traces of the mountain may not have a person for several years, so someone has walked on them is very easy to identify.
Among the ten people, whether it is the special forces from the small come or hunter A Long can identify, Yao Jun, not to mention them, but also Cai Ling is a little weak, but Cai Ling also has its own method.
Finding dragons and exploring acupuncture points is not just a storyline in grave-robbing novels, but in reality, those who touch the gold, moving mountains and unloading collars of technology is just a split from the Taoist feng shui, only later they became an independent set of systems.
Cai Ling does not know how to rob tombs, but the art of feng shui has been studied quite a lot, and knows that the chances of survival of people in places with good feng shui are also higher, so he took the high ground early on.
However, the result that Cai Ling saw surprised him, the air flow in a radius of more than ten miles all pointed to one place, that is, the canyon that had been determined early on.
The air flow was an important criterion for determining whether a place was good or bad, and that canyon was bound to be a place of great evil, so wouldn't Du Ming die without a burial place when he arrived there?
Cai Ling was thinking wildly when a team member on the walkie-talkie reported that he had discovered the situation, and it was the team member who was heading towards the canyon.
"These are traces of hiking shoes, there are also bloodstains here, someone of them was injured, there are also animal tracks here, nineteen-eighty-nine they went into this canyon." Immediately, someone analyzed the conclusion.
"Not only that, look at this, here's, this is the aisle of a wild boar herd, and there's feces that looks like a coyote's, this, too, this is the trace of a large fierce beast." Another clue.
"There's no signal from the satellite phone here either, this canyon magnetic field is so confusing." It was Xiao Lai's voice.
"Stop, Captain Yao, you summarize, everyone else keep quiet." Cai Ling suddenly bellowed, such chaos was rather frightening.
"Mr. Lin, I'm not going to hide it from you in fact we deduced this place a long time ago, we've checked outside as well, but I'm afraid we can't top things with the people we have, if Mr. Du Ming and the others were really driven here by the beasts, then it's really bad luck." Yao Jun said very clearly, the canyon is full of dangers they don't dare to go in at all.
Cai Ling grimaced and didn't say anything, he didn't blame Yao Jun and the others, they were just getting paid to do their job, there was no need to get killed for the sake of others, now the headlines were clear, Du Ming and the others were exactly inside the canyon, but I'm afraid no one could say what was going on exactly.
"Fog, it's fogging up." Suddenly a man shouted, Cai Ling was startled and looked up to see the canyon suddenly emitting a fog that enveloped the entire canyon in less than a minute.
"Brother Lin, I know there are your brothers among the missing people, but this big mountain is already angry, let's go back or none of us will make it back." Ah Long had long been scared out of his wits, wasn't this situation the sign of the great mountain's anger that had been rumored?
"Listen, you are all paid to do things, and you have all done your duty, so I don't blame you for entering or not, but I can't, you have seen how much their families are sad in Wankong Town, but they are all full of confidence, not a single one of them mourns and cries, why, isn't it because they believe that their family members are not dead? They are waiting for them to come home, if we go back with this news, what will happen to them? When I came here I had already assured Du Ming's parents that I would see them in life and in death, so I am definitely going in, whoever wants to go in please volunteer." Cai Ling shouted, going in is a must, but going in alone is also very inappropriate.
"Brother Lin, I'll go in with you, if a soldier is afraid of danger then don't be afraid of being a soldier." Liu Qianglai was the first to respond.
"I'll go as well, in fact Cheng Hao among the missing seven is an alumnus of my university, to this point I can't say I won't go." Yao Jun laughed bitterly, Cai Ling didn't know his bottom line, but their team members did, if he went back just like this, he couldn't explain to Cheng Hao's parents.
"Okay, three words are already enough, let's bring some food and first aid medicines into the area, the rest of us will set up camp near here, you guys have to be careful of the wild animals, we will try to come back before dark, if we don't come back in the dark, you guys have to have someone to keep watch at night, and at the same time, call for the people from below the mountain to come to the rescue." Cai Ling said hurriedly, Yao Jun and Xiao Lai were the ones he wanted the most, there was no point in going any further.
"Okay, I will leave the radio, I will take the life detector, you guys remember if it gets dark and we are not back immediately report down the mountain." Liu Qianglai said.
So people started to distribute the supplies, Cai Ling the three mainly brought more medicines and food in addition to the essential items, it's been a week in the past and the seven of them definitely don't have any food left.
After the distribution of goods, the three soon set off towards the canyon, Liu Qianglai took the lead, holding the life detector, the function of the life detector has been adjusted to the maximum, within fifteen meters can be able to react.
The second was Cai Ling, who was mainly responsible for protecting Liu Qianglai, while Yao Jun was responsible for observing the surrounding.
The place at the mouth of the canyon valley was very narrow, either rocks or weeds, it was very hard to pass through, and now there was still fog, visibility was very low.
"Look, it's a canister, but how are they sideways scratched." Suddenly Yao Jun shouted, Cai Ling turned around and looked, it was a can of ribs, something very usual, except that he didn't pull it open from the front, but used a sharp tool to slice it open with the side.
"Beep!" Before the crowd could think about it in detail, the life detector in Liu Qianglai's hand suddenly sounded an alarm, but there was only one beep, and the tablet playback only saw a dot scurrying across the front.
"It should be monkeys or apes, their physical features are similar to ours, and now the function is turned up to the maximum, so it's quite possible to be misidentified." Liu Qianglai explained.
"Let's go, keep moving, don't be too far away from each other, if something happens, call out." Cai Ling said, the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder, the two of them couldn't help but be a little nervous, instead Cai Ling was getting calmer and calmer, making them all take Cai Ling's lead.
The three of them walked for another twenty minutes or so, with a diameter distance of almost a hundred meters or so, before their eyes began to become clear, the mountain walls were no longer visible on both sides.
"Huh, this is a monument? Could it be that someone used to live here? Or did they come in here to look for treasure?" Suddenly Yao Jun yelled and rushed to the front, in front of him was a piece of broken eaves and walls, but it could be seen that someone used to live here and it was a bit old, which made Cai Ling's feeling worse and worse.
"Brother Xiao Lai don't touch it, it's taboo." Yao Jun stopped Liu Qianglai who wanted to explore a bit, this kind of thing is really a taboo in their industry, this kind of place that has been deserted for more than a hundred years who knows if there is something there?
Cai Ling had long opened his discerning eye, but he didn't find anything at all under observation, so he had to call it quits.
"Yao Jun, can you determine what era this is from? This place should have been moved in by those who fled the war, I just don't know which dynasty." Cai Ling said.
"It's hard to say, it looks like this place has existed for quite some time, according to the degree of decay of the room sorghum it's no less than fifty years old." Yao Jun said, although do their line of work often run to the mountains, can access a lot of things, but after all, is not to play antiques, just look at it is not able to see anything.
"Xiao Lai, does the detector have a signal." Cai Ling asked again.
"No, the situation here is weird, the detectors all seem to be out of order." Liu Qianglai exclaimed.
"Good, time to see my tactics, all of you come behind me." Cai Ling called out, then took out a copper mirror from his backpack.
Cai Ling stroked on the copper mirror for a while, and recited for half a minute, the copper mirror suddenly gave out a bright light that shot into the fog, and the copper mirror showed what was going on in the fog, and the surprised Yao Jun's two mouths couldn't even close their mouths.
"This, this this radar is still powerful." Liu Qianglai exclaimed.
Cai Ling just looked coldly without saying anything, the situation in the fog is very complicated, this seems to be a deserted village, a piece of ruins, there seems to be something behind the village but the light from the copper mirror surprisingly can't shoot there.
"Be careful!" Constantly checking suddenly Cai Ling shouted then threw the copper mirror out, and that copper mirror exploded in mid-air, Cai Ling didn't dodge at all but instead hit a dozen talismans with his hand, a dozen talismans rushed into the fog, then a muffled grunt was heard but Cai Ling rushed in and nothing was there.
"Lin, Mr. Lin, what the hell is going on." Yao Jun was already almost scared silly, how could there be someone in this canyon and have a mirror suddenly explode.
Cai Ling coldly kept observing the surroundings and said, "Xiao Lai, take out your guys, protect to Yao Jun, follow me."
Cai Ling drew out a seventy or eighty centimeter long knife, token Cai Ling to be used as a base card can not be easily taken out.
And Liu Qiang come is more direct, put away the detector, directly from the bag will take out a packet of parts click click click not a few seconds to arm a pistol, Yao Jun is more dumbfounded, things are changing too fast, he did not know what to do only good.
However, the expected conflict did not happen, after three minutes around is still quiet, Cai Ling had to let them be careful and then together deep into the ruins.
The ruins were very mixed up, things were messy but it was impossible to tell what was there, one could only be sure that it existed at least before the Republic of China.
"Look, Brother Lin, there's a bunch of bloodstains here, it's new, never more than a month old." Liu Qianglai suddenly said to a wall with a dried pool of blood on it.
"Look, there's also canned goods, bandages, and broken cell phones here, they must be here." Within a few steps Liu Qianglai found many more things.
"I know, they are not here, but in the back of this rubble, Xiao Lai, untie the rope, all to hold on to, don't let go, if there is something unexpected, then yell or pull the rope, it's easy to get lost here." Cai Ling said with a pale face.
Liu Qianglai understood and unwrapped the rope and wrapped it around his arm, Yao Jun did the same, while Cai Ling held the other end of the rope.
Cai Ling took out a small bird made of paper, and poured some liquid from a small bottle on it, after Cai Ling recited the incantation the bird flew up, making Yao Jun gulped, this Cai Ling's methods are getting more and more mysterious, if not knowing that Cai Ling is here to save people, they immediately ran away without saying anything.
That paper bird seems to be very spiritual, left and right around a lot, but always forward, not long to see the ruins outside the hazy scenery, will soon go out.
But things are not that simple, that paper bird has not flown out before it snapped and fell, and the fog instantly thickens again a dozen times, even face to face are about to be invisible.
"Formation Boundary!" Cai Ling's face changed, whispered, while Liu Qianglai two people quickly and Cai Ling converge together, three people back to back to prevent separated and be sneak attack.
Cai Ling tried several methods but failed to break some boundaries, instead, he encountered quite a few means, but this was of little use to Cai Ling, on the contrary, Liu Qianglai two people were considered to be completely terrified, and their fighting power was all gone.
"No matter who you are, you will regret today." Cai Ling murmured, letting go and took his backpack off, he was going to break the formation, without getting real they thought they were sick cats!
