Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 49: Inner Ghost Suspicious Cloud
Lin Shuo and his party continue to walk deep into the underground river channel.
The temperature here is lower than near the entrance of the cave.
The moisture condensed from the breath, causing frost on everyone's eyebrows.
The chill went straight to the bone, and soon everyone felt nothing in their feet and hands.
And this underground river, which seems to have no end, has not changed except for getting colder and colder, and I don't know when it will be finished.
Uneasy, gradually spreading among the team.
"How far have you gone?" He Zihong asked, panting.
"It's almost ten kilometers." Anne said.
"The temperature here has dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius." Liu Qing followed Anne and said worriedly, "If the temperature drops this way, our lighting batteries will be overwhelmed."
"The compass has already turned around in my hand." Yang Tuo said at this time, "This shows that the trend of this underground river is very strange, it is actually spiral."
"The spiral course of the river has a circumference of ten kilometers in the first circle." He Zihong sighed, "Nature is really amazing."
"Teacher, I know you are tired, but you can't rest yet." Yang Tuo reminded, "Resting at this temperature is very dangerous."
"I know." He Zihong said, "It's okay, go ahead."
"If the temperature drops further, I suggest not to go forward." Wei Xingshan, who was originally responsible for the break, rushed up and said, "The warmth we are preparing at present is not enough to cope with the severe cold below minus 20 degrees."
After Wei Xingshan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence among the marching team.
The ten-kilometer river walks down, and the increasingly harsh environment is a cruel torture for everyone's original intention to come here.
"It should be hot down below." Lin Shuo said.
"Why?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"The Black Water Dragon King is a snake." Lin Shuo added, too lazy to explain.
"Yes." He Zihong was reminded at this time and said loudly, "It's a snake!"
"Can you tell me something?" Wei Xingshan still didn't understand.
"Snakes are temperature-changing animals." Anne explained, "There is no mechanism in the body to regulate body temperature. It can only draw heat from the outside world. So its old nest must be a very warm place, otherwise once it crawls in, it will Frozen."
Wei Xingshan finally understood: "Oh, it turned out to be the reason."
"Snakes are very sensitive to heat sources." Yang Tuo also said at this time, "In fact, Waixinganling is so cold in winter that it is not suitable for large snakes to survive. This is also one of the places where my teacher and I were confused before. The explanation is that it can find a place that is still warm in winter."
Everyone walked forward while talking. Liu Qing kept staring at the electronic watch on his hand. At this time, he said: "The temperature has risen, and it is currently minus fifteen degrees."
"Be prepared to take off your clothes in a while." Lin Shuo said.
The group continued to walk forward, and it really got warmer as they walked.
There was originally a thin layer of frost hung on the walls of the surrounding cave, but gradually, the frost disappeared.
Everyone began to hear the sound of water droplets.
As if reminded by the sound, the pores that were originally tightly closed on everyone's body suddenly opened, and sweat leaked out.
The army coat can't be worn anymore.
Although the river has not yet reached its end, everyone's heart hanging by the low temperature has completely let go.
The temperature has risen to three degrees Celsius.
Everyone took off their anti-cold equipment and threw them on the edge of the river. These things are actually quite cumbersome and inconvenient to carry, so it's better to throw them here and wear them when you return.
Lin Shuo also took off his army coat and scarf on his body and threw it aside, except for the mask on his face, instead he folded it and put it in his jacket pocket.
Everyone felt relaxed after taking off their clothes, so they didn't rest anymore and kept on walking.
Unconsciously, everyone has walked twenty kilometers on this river, a total of five hours before and after.
After entering this underground river for ten kilometers, everyone found that the feeling of spiral descending became more and more obvious. The light of the flashlight and headlights can already illuminate the opposite rock wall.
After a short break, everyone set off again.
At this time, the temperature has been maintained at about five or six degrees. Although it is still a bit cold, it is completely acceptable.
"Mr. Lin, I have always been weird for one question." He Zihong asked at this time, "Please advise."
"Please speak."
"Snakes do not have a migratory habit." He Zihong said, "If the snake came here because of the control of the shepherd, then why did the hook snake come here?"
"Ba snakes can be controlled by humans, so can hook snakes naturally." Lin Shuo said.
"Mr. Lin thinks, who controls this hook snake?" He Zihong asked again, "What is the purpose of it suddenly attacking our camp before?"
"I don't know about that." Lin Shuo shook his head, "but there is one thing I noticed."
"Oh? What is it?"
"When Miss Anne met me for the first time and put the hooked snake scale in front of me, I knew it might be a game." Lin Shuo said slowly, "That feeling, with Liu It looked so alike a year ago. It was an earring of my mother at that time, which finally made my father make up his mind to go to Kunlun Mountain."
"Then since you realize this, why are you still taking this order?" Anne asked.
"Since we are in the game, we have to put bait. And the bait put by the other party must make me unable to refuse, otherwise I won't bite the hook." Lin Shuo said lightly, "And I don't know if you are aware of it. The other party knows our movements very well. The argument that the hook snake may not be here just appeared in the team, and the hook snake came the next day. As soon as we were about to start the operation, the sniper shot. Every step of ours was taken by the other party. Okay. In this case, it was not until the Dragon King messenger took action that they turned around slightly, because they turned their focus to deal with the Black Water Dragon King."
"Mr. Lin." Anne listened to these words, subconsciously alert, "You mean us, there are people with them?"
"I had doubts before, so I observed you for a while, and there was nothing wrong with it. In this way, there is only one possibility left." Lin Shuo paused and asked, " How many satellite phones do we have here?"
"Three." Yang Tuo replied, "Me, teacher, Miss Anne."
"Well. Among them, one way is to the senior level in China, and the two ways are to the senior level of the International Biological Research Association." Lin Shuo said, "The problem lies in these two senior levels."
Yang Tuo said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, you have to be clear about what you are talking about."
"Mr. Lin, you can't talk nonsense about this." He Zihong also said.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about." Lin Shuo said, "but it doesn't matter to us people now. The penetration of satellite signals is very poor. We are currently underground, and satellite phones cannot be reached."
He Zihong was taken aback for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin, since you have this doubt, you should tell us soon!"
"Tell you early, you will report again?" Lin Shuo asked, "Can you guarantee that the person you contact with is reliable?"
"This..."
"Of course, I might be too careful." Lin Shuo said, "but there is nothing wrong with being careful. Six years ago, my father and I had a similar lesson."
After saying these words, Lin Shuo stopped speaking and walked forward quietly.
He Zihong and Yang Tuo suddenly became worried, and their pace naturally slowed down.
Anne followed Lin Shuo closely and asked nervously: "Mr. Lin, since this may be a game against you, then I am their accomplice?"
"You can understand that." Lin Shuo said, "However, for them, this is a game against me, but for me, isn't it an opportunity to find the true picture of the year? So you If you look at it from another angle, you are also the provider of this opportunity."
Anne was a little surprised. She suddenly realized that Lin Shuo still has some emotional intelligence.
"Look at the result anyway." Lin Shuo said again, "If I die here, then you are an accomplice, and I will definitely drag you before I die. If I go out alive, I will find a clue to the Kunlun Mountain incident. Then I will credit you."
Anne sounded a little dazed, she didn't understand Lin Shuo's intentions.
If you die, you will die together. If you live, you will miss her.
This seems to be... a love sentence?
No!
Anne shook her head quickly, dispelling the absurd idea from her mind.
Get rid of these thoughts, and Anne also becomes more worried.
Who is it that sells team information?
In China, it is unlikely. Because they only care about missing Chinese citizens.
She has a sharper hearing than ordinary people, and Yang Tuo and her superiors' reports, she has actually heard them in the distance.
Yang Tuo reported very little about hook snakes and bar snakes. Moreover, his report was brief and concise, and he would not list all the possibilities, only the things that have been determined so far.
If there is a problem with the International Biological Association, who is it?
He Zihong shouldn't be. He is actually a very pure person, devoting himself to biological research.
Own mentor, that's even more impossible, after all, after more than twenty years of getting along, she can't understand this man better.
He is too strong and too noble. Such people disdain to play conspiracies and tricks.
And when the mentor recommended him to ~IndoMTL.com~, Zhang Lianhai and Lin Shuo were recommended. Zhang Lianhai died in Kunlun Mountain six years ago, which proves that he is not clear about Kunlun Mountain.
It must be like this.
Anne walked faster and faster as she thought about her heart.
Different from He Zihong and Yang Tuo, the two are trying to keep up with the team's rhythm, so if something goes wrong, they will slow down unconsciously. And Anne, in fact, just like Lin Shuo, is holding down the speed to prevent others from not being able to keep up, so if she loses her mind, she walks faster instead.
Slowly, she walked into the darkness.
She woke up, only to realize that her flashlight had gone out. Before, it was because Liu Qing's headlight was shining behind, and she didn't pay much attention to the battery level of the flashlight.
The darkness in front of her eyes, she subconsciously looked back at the situation behind her.
Then she just felt that a shadow swayed before her eyes, and she lost her balance.
"Hurry up!"
It turned out that Lin Shuo slid over and swept one foot on her calf.
Anne was like a tree, swept down by Lin Shuo.
Of course, this is not Lin Shuo wanting to beat Anne suddenly, but to save her.
This method of falling down with one foot is the fastest.
With a "swish", Anne brushed past herself when she heard something!
