The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 305 The Moving Snow Mountain

After Yang Ming left, the three of us didn't delay too much. After resting under the snow for more than an hour, we entered the mountain aggressively.The first half of the road is easier to walk, the slope is not so steep, and the snow is quite deep, but I have gotten used to it during this period, so I don't find it difficult, and I can chat a little while walking.

I was worried about Fu An in my heart, so I didn't say much, and Tan Ren didn't bother to speak. The three of them walked and stopped, and gradually entered the depths of the snow-capped mountains. I can see Guo Zhacuo who is already far away, but when I go down a slope and turn back, I can't see anything.

After walking, we reached the twilight hour, resting and stopping, the efficiency is not very high, but in this kind of area, we dare not exhaust our physical strength too much.Zhou Xuanye was originally walking in the forefront, but suddenly stopped at this moment.I thought he was tired and wanted to rest, so I didn't ask any further questions. I propped my thighs and stopped, looking around, where should I camp tonight.

Looking around, the surrounding snow is quite thick, and there is no suitable place to camp. It seems that we have to go further.

Just when he was about to speak his mind, Zhou Xuanye suddenly said, "No, there is a problem with the map!"

There is only one copy of the map, which is the one drawn by Team Zeng for us, and it has been kept by Zhou Xuanye.At this moment, I looked sideways, only to realize that at some point, Zhou Xuanye had already held the map in his hand. While looking at the map, he compared it with a telescope.

Our current location is not too high, surrounded by snow-capped mountains in the distance, in fact, the terrain has not changed much, it looks the same, it is impossible to see too much change, so I said: "Brother Zhou , what's the problem?" As I said that, I went to look at the map in his hand.

This map is quite detailed, marking several iconic snow peaks in the depths of the snow mountains, and connecting them into graphics with lines, making it easy to identify them.And the snow mountain trend chart I see now, when connected, is similar to the lines on the map. What's the problem?
Tan Ren also moved to Zhou Xuanye's left, and the two of us surrounded him, beckoning him to give an explanation.Zhou Xuanye put down the binoculars, with a serious expression on his face, pointed to the map, and said, "This map was not drawn casually, it was calculated by Team Zeng through proportional conversion."

I nodded. I knew this. At BJ Zeng’s home, he measured it carefully with a ruler.Although this is not a complete map, it will take five days to complete the map given by Team Zeng.Since we don't know the way behind, so for the sake of insurance, we planned a ten-day itinerary, which is 20 days back and forth.

Zhou Xuanye said: "We entered the mountain at eight o'clock in the morning, and now it is five forty in the afternoon, which is in line with our previous plan." According to our previous plan, we should stop advancing at five o'clock, but it's just the situation in the snow mountain It was better than we expected, so we persisted until now and haven't stopped.

While speaking, Zhou Xuanye took out a multi-function blade and a pen from his backpack.The multifunctional blade is only as big as a baby's palm, but it is ingeniously designed and has many functions. One side is a blade, the other is a small saw, the other is a scale, the other is a protractor, the middle is a bottle driver, and a wrench. It is usually placed in an external bag. , easy to take out.

Zhou Xuanye squatted on the ground, spread the map on his lap, and then measured it on the map with a scale. While measuring, he calculated the distance we walked, and finally converted it into an equal ratio. He tapped a position on the map with a pen , Said: "That is to say, we are probably in this position now..." I nodded, thinking that it was similar, but I still couldn't figure out what the meaning of his calculation was.

However, what Zhou Xuanye said next made me a little terrified.

He said: "The location is different, and the angle of what you observe is also different. If we are in this location, then we can only see one of the three snow peaks on the map, and the remaining one is It was blocked by the two in front. We will only see the third snow peak around tomorrow afternoon, but..." Zhou Xuanye raised his hand and pointed to the distance in front of the left. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, he asked, "How did it come here?"

That's right, originally only two snow-capped mountains should be visible, but three snow-capped mountains appeared very abruptly.

They are in the shape of a triangle, the one on both sides is short, the one on the back is tall, and the one on the back is sandwiched in the middle, like a majestic shadow, covering the two small snow peaks in front.It appeared so abruptly in front of our eyes that it gave me the feeling that this snow peak was staring at us.

This is ridiculous.

I stared at the map carefully, trying to find a reason to refute Zhou Xuanye's words.

You know, most people will never notice this, such as me, or Tan Ren, we didn't notice anything wrong at all.As for Zhou Xuanye, I always feel that he is almost an all-rounder. After he converted the ratio, he also had a protractor to convert the angle and height.

The three snow peaks that seem to be very close are actually very far away from each other. How can it be possible to present the state we see in this position?
I immediately realized that what Zhou Xuanye said was right, there was something wrong with the map given by Team Zeng!Thinking of this, I couldn't help stomping my foot: "It's broken, it seems that Team Zeng's brain is not perfect. There are such big mistakes in the beginning of this map, and I don't know how many mistakes there are in the later part!"

Tan Ren didn't say a word, frowned, and glanced at Zhou Xuanye, obviously saying: The Zeng team you're looking for is too unreliable.In this way, the credibility of the map given by Team Zeng is greatly reduced, and even what he said may be a lot of nonsense.

We have been tossing for so long because of his nonsense?
Even Fu An has lost money now!
Agitated and angry, I kicked hard in the snow and said, "Brother Zhou, this map is too deviated, and the angle is too wrong, we can't go any further."

Zhou Xuanye was holding the map in his hand, and his gentle expression seemed a little gloomy. After a while, he nodded and said with a sigh: "I can't go anymore." While speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "It's too late to go back now." , Find a place to camp and return tomorrow."

We walked forward for a while, and found a shelter at the corner of the mountain to camp.It's only because Zeng's behavior was too normal before, and with Han Zitong as a guarantee, we were so credulous, but now, there are only two paths in front of us.

One is to search according to the outrageous map in front of us, which is very likely to be wrong.The second is to try your luck, wandering around in the snow mountains for ten days, maybe you can bump into someone from Little Fusang.We have completely lost confidence in the first way, and we may try the second way in normal times, but we have no intention of taking chances if we move forward with the matter of Fu An.

This chance is too small. After all, it’s not that no expedition team has entered this area in these years, and they all found nothing. The three of us, why do we think we have such good luck?

After setting up camp, Tan Ren made a divination and tossed a coin six times repeatedly.

In this regard, this girl has always been quite accurate.I felt speechless, and said: "Boss, you don't care about it early, you don't care about it later, and it's too late now."

Tan Ren didn't even change his expression, and he couldn't help but say an ambiguous sentence: God's fortune or not, everything is determined by God.

I said: "Boss, don't play charades with me. Didn't you find XX's parents by measuring characters before? Why don't you do another test, test how we should go, and it's best to measure the satellite coordinates of Little Fusang. "

Tan Ren didn't say anything, didn't take off his gloves, and just touched the back of my head, expressing that he didn't want to talk to me, so he ate dinner by himself.Zhou Xuanye smiled, and said that if fortune-telling is not involved, how can it be so accurate, the secrets are mysterious and the avenues are brilliant, even Fuxi, King Wen and others in ancient times are not sure about divination and fortune-telling.Not to mention that after the baptism of the ****, the people of later generations learned only side effects.

In fact, I also know that if Tan Ren can really figure it out, there is no need for me and Zhou Xuanye to go to the BJ. Saying this now is just a matter of feeling aggrieved and arguing.

The lee of our camp is a rocky recess, slightly sunken inwards, in an arc shape, and there are some unknown cold-resistant shrubs around it, which sprouted buds in the wind and snow, and the snow was pressed on the thin branches. Also still tall and straight.

This is not the depths of the snow-capped mountains. If there is vegetation growing, there must be animal activities, but we can't see it for a while.

I had a rest that night, and the next morning, the weather seemed to be even colder. When I got out of my sleeping bag, my head was so cold that I was short of oxygen, and I felt like I was going to faint for a moment, which was completely different from the previous experience of camping.Trembling, I boiled some snow water with a portable hand cup. The altitude here is too high to boil the water, but fortunately, the snow water is clean and I can drink hot water, warming my frozen body. Not bad.After breakfast, we started to rush back. This time, at noon, we found something was wrong.

We returned the same way, but at some point, when I looked up, I suddenly found that the three snow-capped mountains far away were still in front of us!
I was stunned, rubbed my eyes hard, wondering if I had made a mistake, and opened my eyes again, yes, Xuefeng was still there.

They were obviously going back...but, but why did they run ahead of us?

Zhou Xuanye took a deep breath, and immediately took out the compass, but the compass kept trembling. He had heard that the magnetic field here was abnormal. Once inside, watches, compasses, telephones and other gadgets would all fail. The words are indeed true.
