Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 739

It was summer in Golmud before, but now it was freezing cold all of a sudden. We set up a smokeless stove, stuffed some snow and boiled it into hot water, and ate it with crushed biscuits. be warmer.As for Bai Shuang's question, I don't have a clue now. Apart from knowing that they are going west, I can't think of the rest, so I didn't answer it.

According to my driving experience, in this kind of ice and snow, it is actually relatively safe, there are no beasts, insects and snakes, and you can sleep peacefully at night. The only thing you need to prevent is things like skiing, so you have to get up after two hours of sleep. Look.

We only brought a tent, curled up in sleeping bags, and went out. In order to pack lightly, we didn’t care about the difference between men and women. Fortunately, in the snow-capped mountains, we were all wrapped up like glutinous rice balls after taking off our coats.It doesn't matter.

Lying in the tent, for some reason, I thought of Wen Min, if she was lying next to me right now, we could chat or do something else, and at this moment, Bai Shuang was already huddled in her sleeping bag to rest .But there is no use in thinking, I can't find some psychological comfort. In the fantasy, she and I can still be the same as before, but in reality, we have already taken two different paths.

Betrayed, fought back, hurt.

Apart from confrontation, there is no other way to go.

Thinking about it, I set the alarm clock to ring once every two hours, and then fell asleep.This sleep was quite heavy, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was woken up by the alarm clock as if it had only been a long time in the United States.There are camp lights hanging outside the tent, the light is not strong, and it is dim and dim. I got out of the tent and saw that the snow was very thick. Around the tent, half of the snow had accumulated, and a lot of it had gathered on the top.I took out a small shovel to shovel the snow, cleaned it up, and then got in again. I repeated this overnight, got up three times, and when I got out of the sleeping bag for the fourth time, it was already daylight.

In fact, it was eight o'clock in the morning, but the mist in the snow-capped mountains blocked the sunlight, so it gave people a gray feeling.I have more than one experience of entering the snow-capped mountains, so I also know that even if I want to hurry, I will not get up too early, because it is too cold and the weather is even worse, so it is not easy to get up early. There will be no help, but it is prone to accidents.

I rubbed my face, put on my clothes, took the binoculars, and climbed to a slightly higher position to observe Lu Su and the others.

They also just got up and started to cook and eat. The two of them sat relatively close to each other, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

So I went back to the tent, set up the smokeless stove and started cooking.Although Bai Shuang has a tough personality, she has no experience after all. She looked around at the snow that was obviously thicker than yesterday, and at the open space around the tent, and said in surprise, "You did it?"

I said, "If we hadn't shoveled the snow, we would have been buried in it last night." The snow here is very heavy, unlike before in the Yulong Mountains, where the snow accumulated overnight can really collapse the tent.

Bai Shuang was a little embarrassed, and said, "From now on, we will take turns."

I said, "It's not easy for you to come into the mountains with me as a girl. I can do all the work, just don't make trouble." After packing up the tent, they followed Lu Su and the others and continued on the road.

This time I walked, I never stopped, and the more I walked, the more uneasy I felt, because at our depth, the general expedition team had already begun to stop, but Lu Su and the two had no intention of stopping at all.Every now and then they stopped, as if mapping something, apparently looking for something.

But in this vast snow mountain, apart from snow and ice, what are they looking for?
Simply put, we add up to four people, and the force value is not high, which makes me feel a little more at ease.After trekking like this for another whole day, Bai Shuang couldn't move anymore and was staggering, but since she had already entered the snow mountain, I couldn't let her go back alone, so I could only walk forward with half support and half drag, Don't mention how tired they are, the rough air of the two people's boats formed a large white mist and spread in front of their eyes, and their vision was always foggy.

At around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the snow under our feet has receded from the previous knee-deep to the instep. It is not that the snowfall has decreased, but that the snow here has accumulated all the year round and is slowly being pressed into ice. Going down is hard, with snow and ice on the surface, and deep blue ice in the depths. If you pierce it with a dagger, you can only leave a white mark.

The further you go, the less snow there is. At night, you can hardly see the snow under your feet, only the ice layer, and the thin layer of snowflakes on it will soon be frozen into thin ice, and people walk on it. If you don't pay attention, you will fall on all fours.

We were originally wearing cold-proof boots for snow-capped mountains, but the anti-skid ability on the ice was not good, so we walked carefully, and set up camp early at around [-] o'clock in the evening.At the moment we are in an ice valley with a relatively high terrain. On the left is connected to the sharp snow peak, and on the right is an ice cliff with a huge drop.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking, the fog below is steaming, and the snow field is faintly visible. There is only an afterimage of the setting sun in the distance, and only a shadow of the sunset glow in the sky. The mist shines with a changing brilliance like glass, which is so beautiful that people can't bear to look away.

I have traveled to many places over the years, but I was also intoxicated by them. After seeing them for a while, I packed up the tent. Only Bai Shuang sat on the edge of the ice cliff and watched mesmerized.I didn't call her, and started camping by myself. This kind of easy work didn't require her help, so I didn't pay much attention to her.

The tent had just been set up, and I took out the smokeless stove to cook something, but at this moment, Bai Shuang, who was sitting on the edge of the ice cliff, suddenly let out a loud cry.The sound was not clear in the howling cold wind, but I was not far away, so I heard it right away. I thought something happened, so I quickly turned around, only to see Bai Shuang running towards me, panting. : "Yes, there is someone, there is someone below!"

people?
I froze for a moment, and found that Bai was holding the binoculars in his hands, and he stammered to explain: "I used the binoculars to look at the scenery, and there was a person below with a very big head." Someone with a particularly big head?I was terrified, and grabbed her binoculars with my hands, and said, "Don't come here, just stay here." Then I touched a paratrooper knife.This time I came out in a hurry, all the equipment was temporarily purchased in Golmud, and contraband such as guns were naturally out of reach.

After I finished speaking, I ran to the edge of the ice cliff and looked down with a telescope. I saw clouds and mist, and everything was in a daze. After turning the lens to the maximum, the situation below became clear.The situation below is similar to ours. It is also the terrain of icy snow, with a thin layer of snow on the surface, but there is no such thing as a human figure.

After watching for a while, there was really no movement, I put down the binoculars, looked at Bai Shuang who ran to me at some time, and said, "There is no one, are you delusional?" After looking at the glasses for a long time, he was also a little dazed, and murmured: "Obviously there is someone, why is he missing?"

She will definitely not be bored to come and talk nonsense. I guess she is either delusional, or there is someone else, but we didn't find it.Thinking of this, I said: "Let's take some tea tonight, arrange a vigil, and don't have any accidents."

Bai Shuang nodded and didn't say anything else. We started a fire and ate something. I kept watch for the first half of the night, and she kept watch for the second half of the night. The two took turns to rest.

Because of the cold weather, I didn't watch the night outside, so I sat at the entrance of the tent and put my hands on the smokeless stove to warm up. As for Lu Su, they seemed quite relieved, and both of them fell asleep.

During the vigil, I had nothing to do. I sat in place, my body was inactive, and it was even colder. After I stayed there, I walked around. As I walked, I suddenly heard a creaking sound behind me.The sound disappeared in a flash, and the night wind howled and whimpered, drowning out the sound for an instant, but I could tell that it was the sound of feet stepping on the snow.

As to whether it is a human foot or something else, it is not clear.

I immediately turned around, took out the flashlight in my pocket, turned it on, and looked in the direction of the sound.That is the side close to the snow mountain, because there is a snow mountain blocking it, there is a little snow on that side.During the day, in order to prevent our feet from slipping, we mostly walked along the side of the mountain. Every step we took, there was this creaking sound, which was all too familiar.

This place is impossible, there are others, could it be the real Lu Su?

Thinking of this, I walked over quickly with the weapon in my hand. As the lights flickered, I saw a black figure running in the snow, lying on the ground, as if avoiding my lights.And when my light was turned on, the shadow disappeared instantly.

I realized that that thing is not a person, because when a person is lying on their stomachs, they will not move so fast.
