Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 652 Departure
It seems that during the time when Tofu and I were looking for the Pagoda of Nabawo, Wen Min put in a lot of effort in this area. Since there are clues to save Wood, of course we can't give up on it.As for the side of tofu, corpse immortals now account for more than half of them. With the wisdom of corpse immortals, they will not be easily caught again. Let Lu Su and the others continue to fight. It doesn't matter anymore.

At that moment, under the recommendation of beautiful woman Gu, she introduced us to Team Liu, who was the leading woman.

Team Liu is about 28 or [-] years old. He is tall and has a healthy complexion. At first glance, he looks like the kind who often does outdoor activities. He does not have the weak temperament of ordinary girls. His tall and well-proportioned figure feels very explosive.

Wen Min fabricated a title of weapons consultant for us, and I immediately introduced myself according to Wen Min's words, saying that I have been training in weapons, and I have cooperated with many expedition teams. Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair.Team Liu waved his hand and said, "You are the ones introduced by Police Officer Gu. I believe the equipment is ready. You two should be clear about our purpose this time, right?"

This woman surnamed Liu is a vigorous person. Gu Damei said that she spends most of her time abroad, so she has a hot temper and a straightforward personality. She doesn't like people who beat around the bush.Therefore, this set of greetings did not last too long. Since Team Liu seems to be waiting for someone, we will not leave for the next two days, so we will play around and visit the relevant sites around. gained an understanding,

This is an ancient civilization that came from the snow-capped mountains. It gradually died out in the late Warring States period. Before that, it existed for a long time in history and had a vast land area. However, there are very few relevant materials. Just like Wen Min said, many cities in this civilization seem to have disappeared suddenly, leaving only endless conjectures for future generations.

It was not until the Sanxingdui and Jinsha ruins were unearthed one after another that the mysterious veil of the ancient Shu civilization was slowly discovered by people.

What kind of form this civilization extended from the snowy land used to exist on this land is a mystery waiting to be explored.

We stayed in Sanxing Village for two days. On this day, after Team Liu answered a phone call, he immediately ordered everyone to set off.We have a large group of people, including me, Cyclops and Wen Min, a total of 13 people, three off-road vehicles along the only national road, shuttling between the mountains and going along the unknown destination.

It’s the end of October now, and the climate in western Sichuan is cold. When you open the car window, a gust of cold wind blows down your neck. However, since there are few people and cars, the air is exceptionally fresh when driving on the national highway.

The winding mountain road here looks very old, like coiling dragons, meandering among the mountains. At a glance, the green hills in the distance are undulating. The further you go, the mountain has the unique blade edge of the fault zone. The shape of the mountains is completely different from the thick and soft outline in the south. The mountains are like knives and axes, with sharp lines. The tree species on the mountains have also begun to change. The leaves are yellow, green, red, and silver. stained feeling.

If it weren't for the batch of pressed equipment in the trunk, I'm afraid it would make people feel that they are out for travel.

At sunset, the road got off the Panshan Road and drove into a short basin. Looking from both sides, it was a large piece of golden pasture. The altitude here is a bit high, and sporadic snowflakes and golden meadows can already be seen on the pasture. Here, a clear stream meanders.

The car stopped, and Team Liu said hello: "Brothers and sisters, get out of the car, we are going on foot." Winter gloves.

Looking forward along the golden pasture and the stream between them, under the setting sun, the clear stream reflects a little bit of golden afterglow. Far away, you can vaguely see a large group of gazelles and a man riding on horseback. The shepherd is just too far away to see each other's appearance and age clearly.Farther away is a typical fold-shaped mountain range, sharp as a blade, and looks extremely cold.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains runs dead horses. Although we can see the mountains now, it may take two or three days to get close to them.

Everyone got out of the car and packed up their equipment. Team Liu was on the sidelines calling someone who seemed to be ordering something. The signals were all working right now, but when they walked into those wrinkled belts, where the mountains were high and the valleys were deep, they couldn't There must be a signal. If there is something to order, it must be dealt with properly first.

I found that I didn't need to explain to anyone at all. Once the shop was closed and I brought my clerk with me, I was alone.At this moment, the one-eyed dragon was taking a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "This place is beautiful. I, Zhang Sheng, have traveled to so many places, all of which are high mountains, dense forests, poisonous insects and beasts. It looks like a fairyland here, which is great." Omen."

Wen Min said: "Nature has always been beautiful, but the more people there are, the faster the beauty will be destroyed. Often the beautiful scenery is hidden in places where there are few people."

Zhang Sheng said: "That's not true. Otherwise, traveling through no-man's land would not be so popular in these years. I used to think that those people were full and had nothing to do. Now it seems that they have gained something." While speaking, We packed up our things and walked into the pasture.

The golden-yellow grassland is very soft to step on, and the air is full of the unique fragrance of vegetation. Looking into the stream across the meadow, you can clearly see the swimming fish in it. They are not big, most of them are the size of a palm, but their bodies are uniform and the water quality is clear. It looks very pleasant.

A group of people stayed in the car for a whole day, and now they get off the car, smelling the fresh and cold air, they are in good spirits, and the atmosphere on the road is relatively lively. I observed this group of people, aged between 30 and [-] , three women, and the rest are all men. Besides Wen Min and Liu Dui, there is also a short-haired girl who is said to be a doctor and can be rescued in time to prevent accidents in the mountains.

In addition to lack of experience, overall, this team has a relatively clear division of labor, and they won't worry too much about following them.

After more than ten minutes, we met the shepherd, only to find that he was a young man about [-] or [-] years old. He looked curious and shy, and asked us where we came from and where we were going in Sichuan dialect.

We only said that we were here for tourism, but when he saw that we had to go further, he kindly persuaded us in Sichuan dialect: "Uncle, it's getting dark, and there are many mosquitoes in the meadow at night, so it's not safe, why don't you come and live at my house. "I asked how far his home was from here, and he said it would take more than an hour to walk. This pasture is fertile and beautiful, and he worked hard to graze here.

Team Liu didn't even spare a child, took out a pack of sandwich biscuits from his bag and asked the boy to eat, and asked, "Did you pick up anything when you usually herd sheep in this area?"

The boy thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Mushrooms, pheasants, snow rabbits, foxes..."

Team Liu smiled and asked, "Nothing else?"

The young man shook his head.

Liu Dui let him go by himself, saying that we had brought a tent.Come here to experience life.The children in the mountains don’t know much, and together with us a group of adults, he was also afraid of strangers, so he drove the sheep away.The only thing that our group of adults can't match is his riding posture. It seems that he grew up on horseback, and the one-eyed dragon is envious.

We continued to move forward, planning to find a campsite before dark. Along the way, we met many young people herding sheep or cattle. They were all fourteen or fifteen years old. Most of them were Sichuanese, and a few were Tibetans. , drove the cattle and sheep home.

The last one I met was a Tibetan youth, whose robes were so dirty that we couldn’t see the original color clearly. When he saw that we had to go in, he waved his hands and said in not-so-fluent Chinese: “Don’t go forward. It’s gone, I can’t go, it’s too dangerous inside, it’s a place where cattle and sheep dare not go in.”

Liu Dui also gave a few sandwich biscuits to buy people's hearts, saying: "Why don't cattle and sheep dare to go in? What's the danger inside?"

The Tibetan boy said: "There are many winter snakes under the grass. If you step on them, there will be disasters." The frozen snakes he mentioned should refer to the hibernating snakes. It is not surprising that there are a lot of snakes in this area. , and winter snakes generally hide deep and are slow to respond. Even if they really step on it, they will not pose a threat to us.It is estimated that the grass in front is dense, and children will be more or less afraid, but we didn't take it to heart, so we continued to move forward.

When it was getting dark, everyone found a piece of dry land, cleared out the place to camp, lit a bonfire to eat and drink, and when they slept, they washed their faces and feet in the cold stream water. Immediately warm up, and then get into the sleeping bag, not to mention how comfortable it is.
