endless route.

Chapter 13 13. Rescue the target
Everyone pointed their flashlights at the depths of the frozen lake and pointed the direction with a beam of light. Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua carried ropes and first aid kits on their backs and walked forward on the frozen lake.

The glacier reflects the light.

The entire ice layer is translucent and shiny, and the dim lake water reflects the light, making the deep mine pit dark yellow.

Under the gaze of others, the two walked further and further away, getting smaller and smaller in sight, and gradually reached the center of the frozen lake, with their shadows covering most of the lake.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Hu Ruihua took a sharp puff and looked at his feet: "I have never seen such a scene in my life. The living room of King Yan's house is probably like this."

Zheng Yun lowered his head and glanced. The water deep in the ice layer is running water, and the strange corpses are slowly floating with the current, swimming slowly under the lake like a school of fish.

The group of corpses was frozen at the bottom of the lake, floating clockwise all the time, like a terrifying vortex, which seemed to swallow the people above it.

The number is more than a thousand.

This deep pit may be a pond used to store water in the mine. It has an extremely large area, but wherever the flashlight scans, the corpses have the same density...

The underground corpse lake in the depths of the abandoned mine.

Walking in this place, Zheng Yun felt as if he had stepped into the underworld, and the coolness behind his back never stopped.

"really."

Zheng Yun replied softly.

He estimated that his adoptive father had never heard of such a place.

This scene is not only scary and weird, but also spectacular and shocking. Although it is not a good thing, there are really few opportunities to witness this scene with your own eyes.

"I don't know what event caused this tragedy. These corpses are decomposed to a similar degree. They should have died on the same day or even at the same time."

Hu Ruihua's words became more dense, and the red dot on the end of the cigarette kept flickering. After taking a puff, it lighted up, and then he didn't go far, and the cigarette was almost gone.

"Not good."

Zheng Yun shook his head.

If they died on the same day, it was most likely a mine accident and they were drowned.

There is running water under the ice layer, which means that there must be a passage in the depths. The corpses are so dense that they did not float away with the water, which also shows that the passage was not made by people.

The dead cannot get out.

The living are also choking enough to go out.

There is no way to go to the bottom of the pit, and the only way out is the half-waisted iron corridor and the mine entrance, but the pit is 40 meters deep, and there is no way to get up without a rope.

But why no rope.

So many people don't even have a rope?What are they doing at the bottom of the pit without a rope?
Even if there is no rope, when the water floods in, they can float up with the water, and then find the exit and swim out. So many people should not be drowned.

Unless the passages are blocked.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun swept down the icy lake. There are many mine passages on the iron corridor, but they can't be sealed.

"As expected, it's really a pile of corpses." Hu Ruihua spoke again, pointing the flashlight forward.

They had already walked halfway, and the flashlight was enough to illuminate Damona's side. It was indeed a three-meter-high corpse pile, with red light shining from the top.

The two raised their vigilance.

Those corpses were all from this era, and their clothes and equipment were similar to those of Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua, but they were artificially piled up in the corner of the frozen lake.

Hu Ruihua pointed his gun at the back of the pile of corpses, and he could see the entire ice surface at a glance. Only the back of the pile of corpses was a blind spot, and he didn't know what there would be.

The two of them did not approach the pile of corpses immediately, but circled half a circle along the pile of corpses. Hu Ruihua was responsible for keeping vigilant, while Zheng Yun looked for clues.

There are some marks on the ice.

These traces are mixed, new and old, but all the footprints are towards the pile of corpses, only a few of them are going out, at most three or four.

These corpses seem to have walked over by themselves, or were dragged over by someone, and during the dragging process, the traces on the surface of the ice layer were wiped away.

Hu Ruihua glanced around the pile of corpses, and after confirming that no one was there, he returned to Zheng Yun with a gun in his hand.

"anyone there?"

"Can you move?"

Zheng Yun shouted upwards, the height of three meters prevented him from seeing the top, and he didn't know what was on it, but he had some intuition that the top was dangerous.

Silent.

No response.

"What should we do?" Hu Ruihua asked with a serious expression, shining a flashlight on the pile of corpses.

"I'll go."

Zheng Yun took off the equipment on his body, covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, put on gloves and prepared to climb up.

Both of them had constricted pupils and cyanotic lips, but Zheng Yun was not very good at using guns, so Hu Ruihua was asked to guard below, so that he could parry them in case something happened.

"You be careful."

Hu Ruihua nodded, took two steps back, and used a flashlight to light the way for Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun closed his eyes forcefully, took a deep breath, opened them after a few seconds, and looked at the pile of corpses in front of him.

It's like climbing an iceberg.

This group of things is covered with frost and is white. As long as you don't look carefully and don't think about what you are stepping on and what you are supporting, there will be no psychological hidden dangers.

After making mental preparations, Zheng Yun secretly said that he was offended, and then walked to the front of the iceberg and began to climb, not caring about anything, stepping on whatever he could.

He was extremely fast, and he climbed more than halfway in a few strokes. He stretched out his head and looked at the center of the top.

But unexpectedly.

The red light actually shone directly on his face. As soon as he climbed up, his eyes were red.

Zheng Yun's scalp went numb, his body shook slightly, and the things under his feet became loose.

At this time, he had already leaned out half of his body.

Looking forward again, this time he avoided the red light, but the scene in front of him was strange and unspeakable.

A blond woman in a pink ski suit lay on her back on top of the pile of corpses, eyes wide open, a pair of light blue eyes staring straight at herself.

She is laughing.

Laughing extremely weirdly.

The muscles at the corners of the mouth dragged the entire cheek and squeezed into a ball, as if the plastic surgery failed and lost its elasticity. Most of the face was distorted, which looked very horrifying.

"..."

Zheng Yun and the woman looked at each other, stared at her for a few seconds, and confirmed that she was Damona, she must have been frozen, her expression and mind were slow and stiff.

She was happy to be rescued.

But his face was stiff, so he smiled like this.

There are other possibilities, but Zheng Yun doesn't want to think about it, it's useless to think about it, he must earn this money, no matter what she is, even if she is not human, she must come down.

So without saying a word, Zheng Yun climbed up with all his strength, walked up to her face with another step, leaned over and tore off the hood of her clothes, covering her face.

Then Zheng Yun did not hesitate to strike directly, lifted her up by the waist, put her on her back, wrapped a rope around it to fix it, and then slid backwards.

His back was cold.

Damona on her back was as cold as a corpse, her whole body was exuding cold air, her body was almost stiff, if it was a few days later, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.

The way down was relatively simple, and Hu Ruihua was extremely nervous. Seeing that Zheng Yun came down with a person on his back so quickly, he quickly reached out to help him up.

"Come on."

Zheng Yun went down to the ice, said something to Hu Ruihua, and immediately walked towards other teammates.

"what happened?"

Hu Ruihua found that Zheng Yun's tone was wrong, his face changed and he asked quickly, looking around vigilantly.

"There may be someone up there."

Zheng Yun lowered his voice.

After he went up just now, besides Damona, he also took a look into the depths, and found that there was basically no hoarfrost on one or two of the corpses.

Most likely alive.

And it was a living person who had just arrived.

Zheng Yun didn't scan there with his flashlight, pretended not to see them, picked up Damona and left.

The target has been found, and the mission is about to end. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since they chose to play dead, Zheng Yun has no reason to expose it.

Neither side is easy to mess with.

The other party is very familiar with the mine tunnels, they can run around without turning on the lights, and their behavior is also subtle and weird. These explorers' corpses are probably piled up by them.

But Zheng Yun and the others were not good at it, everyone carried guns, Hu Zi shot twice when he saw a figure, he struck hard and fast, and waited at the entrance of the mine.

It doesn't hurt anyone to get shot.

Zheng Yun was jealous of them, and they didn't want to be shot. The two sides maintained a tacit understanding, let this matter pass, and there is nothing to say when there is a conflict.
