one person's life

Chapter 78 fruitless
Zheng Lide and Tang Mu rested for the night and ate compressed biscuits and wild vegetables.This night was still dark, with occasional sounds of birds and animals, but there were people keeping vigil, so it was fairly peaceful.

Zheng Lide left many marks along the way. There were only a small number of people involved in this rescue operation. A slight accident could also cause the entire team to lose contact, which would cause trouble for Deputy Commander Feng.

The big trees were intertwined, and the thick roots and vines exposed above the ground became obstacles. It was difficult for the team members to maintain their original neat formation.Tang Muzhi walked in front, with Black Guan'er and his teammate He Jingye guarding behind him.

For convenience, Zheng Lide moved Tang Muzhi to the same row as him. About two hours ago, the team's compass began to fail.

The compass failed while walking in the primeval forest - this was really not a good sign. Zheng Lide quickly used a satellite phone to contact the outside world. Fortunately, he could still get through, so he felt relieved.

It is true that the compass failed, but with Zheng Lide's experience, he would not lose his way. As long as the sun could still rise, he would have the confidence to bring all the team members back with the marks along the way.

However, a long snake attacked Zheng Lide on the way. Fortunately, Tang Muzhi had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the snake by seven inches, thus saving his life.

It turned out that this snake was the "sharp-nosed adder" - also commonly known as the five-step snake. It was nearly two meters long. Its venom can rot flesh and is very scary.This one was caught by Tang Muzhi and his tail was tightly twisted and he couldn't let go. Tang Muzhi had no choice but to squeeze it to death.

"This is the wrong time!" Zheng Lide said in shock: "There shouldn't be snakes in this season. They should all be hibernating. Three months a year. What's going on...Thank you anyway, Comrade Xiao Tang."

Tang Muzhi was a little confused after listening to Zheng Lide's words. Snakes usually hibernate from heavy snow to the second year of hibernation, which lasts three to four months. How could this regularity be violated?He stretched out his thumb to press the snake's body, and suddenly had some ideas.

"Battle Commander Zheng, it seems that the temperature here seems to be good."

Zheng Lide took off his hat, and it was already covered with sweat. "We should go up, the altitude should be higher than before..."

"It's indeed getting warmer." He Jingye took off his gloves, "It doesn't freeze your hands even if you rub the gun."

Zheng Lide and Tang Muzhi looked at each other, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

"If we go further, there are only a few kilometers to go."

By noon, the surrounding view gradually broadened, and one could see the shadows of the mountains reflected on the clear lakeside - reaching the lake where the lost soldiers last arrived.

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the wind and waves are calm...have we arrived?" Zheng Lide looked at Tang Muzhi hesitantly.

Tang Muzhi answered him affirmatively. In the enemy's impression, this was where they lost traces of their soldiers.

"It's so remote, I didn't expect them to be able to catch up to this kind of place." He Jingye sighed, "It's all about running for your life. What are you trying to do?"

Tang Muzhi didn't know either. He now guessed that the group of missing soldiers had actually recaptured at least one antique, which led to the pursuit of the villains. It was a pity that the strong man he shot two days ago was not there. Understand why.

"Do you still have any impressions next?" Zheng Lide asked.

"I have no impression."

"Are there any details?"

"No more."

"Then you can rest, the job of finding people is left to the soldiers..."

Naturally, Tang Muzhi didn't feel that he deserved such preferential treatment: "Let the soldiers who kept watch last night sleep while I look for them."

The closer it got to the lake, the colder it became. Tang Muzhi concentrated on it and put his hand into the lake water to test it. It was so cold that it could penetrate deep into one's bones.

"Weird things..." Tang Muzhi said in his mind that Shennongjia is indeed the place. There have been many strange and strange legends since ancient times. Now that we have come to such a strange place, the surroundings are obviously as warm as spring, but the lake is so cold to the bone.The water in the lake is not turbid, and the visibility is not low. It's just that when the sky is overcast, it's not clear what can be seen.Tang Muzhi used his naked eyes to see that the lake was bottomless, but not a single fish could be seen. What was even more amazing was that the leaves on the lake in the distance were motionless, as if they were stuck there, but the lake water was constantly undulating with ripples.

The soldiers searched around, but couldn't find any footprints. This was really strange. Even in the primeval forest, the group of people had traces to follow. How come there were no human traces here.

Tang Muzhi thought that this would not be a "qi situation" similar to Qinling, right?If this is the case, it is dangerous to continue.

The so-called gas pattern is a closed and fixed pattern of gas formed in a certain time and place.To put it simply, the outside air flow is open and spreads and invades wantonly, while the air flow within the air flow operates according to special rules. Once a gas pattern that obeys other rules breaks into the air flow, it will be impacted by the air flow within the air flow. Let me teach you. Adapt to its rules.

Therefore, this place is very different from the outside world. There may be no changes in the four seasons. It will be like this in the past and in the future.

What Tang Muzhi said is dangerous is because people are also patterns of gas, and they are extremely sophisticated and complex patterns. Once their own pattern is broken, and the past state is affected and cut... then it means that this person's life has come to an end. The end.

However, it remains to be considered whether this is a weather situation. After all, sometimes such anomalies can be explained scientifically. For example, the static leaves on the lake just now may be caused by waves oscillating up and down, and the water does not propagate towards the waves. The direction of the wave will move, and the leaves will naturally not follow the waves.

The water appears to follow the waves, but it actually moves in circles.The same is true for people. Zheng Lide and his team traveled through mountains and rivers and went through hard work, but in the end they didn't find anything here. They were just running around in circles. Thinking of this, the soldiers all showed a slightly dejected look.

"Look again... look again..." Zheng Lide spent the whole afternoon watching with a telescope by the lake, but in the end he found nothing.

He is not someone who gives up easily. All the previous signs indicate that the missing soldiers are heading in this direction. It is impossible that nothing will be discovered when they get here.

It was getting dark, and Zheng Lide sat blankly by the lake, holding the telescope in his hand.Tang Muzhi knew what he was thinking. He wanted to see people alive or dead, let alone more than a dozen people. Could Shennongjia still eat them alive?

The team was stationed on the spot. At night, Tang Muzhi was worried about Zheng Lide, so he sat with him by the lake.

Nothing to say all night - adults will not confide in children easily, especially when adults are depressed, silence is better than complaining.

The next day passed quickly, and there was still no progress.

But that night Zheng Lide told Tang Muzhi that there was something wrong with the satellite phone and it could no longer connect to the outside world. He could not get any instructions.

"Then let's go back?" Tang Muzhi tilted his head and looked at him.

Zheng Lide frowned and said nothing.

……

"We're going into the water." On the third day, Zheng Lide muttered.His whole person looked even more vicissitudes of life.

There is only enough supplies to go back, so there is no need to worry too much about it. You can still hunt game without compressed biscuits-this is an emergency escape.

For the first time, there were voices of opposition in the team.

In fact, except for Tang Muzhi, most of the people present here grew up swimming in the Yangtze River, but the water here has been tried two days ago, and it’s fine if it’s deeper. There is a diving suit and oxygen cylinders in the team.Mainly because it's cold. The temperature of the water is unusually low. It must be very low below zero, but it doesn't freeze.In this situation, even if Tang Muzhi could swim himself and a saint was with him, he might not be able to hold on for a long time.

The voice of opposition was made by Tang Muzhi, and the other soldiers were silent now.

Brother Xun once said that if a person's ideas are praised, it will promote his progress; if he is opposed, it will promote his struggle. He only screams among strangers, but strangers do not respond. It is neither approval nor agreement. There was no objection. It was like being in a boundless wasteland and being helpless. How sad it was. So I regarded what I felt as loneliness.

Now the loneliness belongs to everyone except Tang Muzhi, he is still the most pure and comfortable one, but it is definitely not something that he alone can do to bring people's hearts back from the boundless wasteland.
