endless route.

Chapter 129 A Group Photo 36.24 Years Ago 【Two in One】

Deep in the iceberg, a chain of ancient ships.

Zheng Yun walked into the cabin slowly, with a faint burnt smell lingering at the tip of his nose. Every step he took, the gray and black wooden boards under his feet creaked, as if they would crack and fall off at any moment.

Flashlights look around.

The scene in front of him was extremely terrifying.

Like an ancient fire scene, everything in the field of vision is scorched black, and the residues of the furnishings in the ship are piled up in one place. When the black ashes are pulled away, many modern explorer's equipment are exposed, half buried in the thick black ash.

The temperature of the flame cannot ignite modern plastics, but it is enough to burn the human body into ashes, and then borrow the temperature of the human body to roast the polyester fabric and the plastics.

In the end, only iron products remained.

The jug is wrapped in colorful colors, the last traces of those modern explorers.

Go deep.

There are some footprints on the ground.

Follow the footprints all the way forward.

Some panting sounds could be faintly heard in the ears, as well as vague choking of blood, and... weird gnawing sounds!
Zheng Yun drew his gun and walked forward quickly.

Pass through the cabin of the first ancient ship, enter the second ancient ship, then the third, the fourth...

I don't know how long it took to go downhill.

Finally, something else appeared.

A wall, a real rock wall, is located at an unknown number of meters underground, with rock passages on the left and right.

A bloody man who looked like he had been skinned was sitting in the corner of the aisle. His eyelids were burned, his eyes stared straight at him, and his throat kept choking blood.

But he cannot see himself.

Possibly the eyes were burnt out.

The walkie-talkie next to him was rustling:
"Where are you, what did you encounter, why can't you go in."

"James, are you still alive?"

"What happened to you? Where are you?"

James' eyeballs moved, and he stretched out his skinless hand, rubbing and searching on the hard rock wall, leaving a lot of blood every time it touched the ground.

Zheng Yun helped him, handed him the walkie-talkie, and put it in his hand. James froze for a moment, then picked up the walkie-talkie: "Senke, don't come in! Run!"

The two continued to talk.

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded from the depths. Zheng Yun turned his head and looked into the depths of the passage, which was empty and very dull.

"Here we come! Run!"

James pressed the intercom with all his strength, and with the last voice, warned Senko not to come in. A mouthful of blood overflowed from the throat, trachea, mouth and nose.

Finished in one sentence.

His arms went limp and he died completely.

Zheng Yun frowned and looked deep into the passage. He heard some strange movements, but he couldn't distinguish them.

After a while.

A piece of 'something' overwhelmed him.

Immediately afterwards, blue-green ghost flames spewed out, covering Zheng Yun's whole body, and there was no way to retreat in the sea of ​​flames...

"Brother Zheng, it's time for breakfast."

A voice brought Zheng Yun back to reality.

Zheng Yun opened his eyes and found himself lying in the bedroom of the family hotel, the deer head lamp was on in front of his eyes, the window was snow-white, and the quilt was so warm that he couldn't bear to leave.

Song Wan wore a fluffy rabbit pajamas, stood pretty on the bedside, stretched out her hand to push Zheng Yun, and waited for his bewildered eyes to regain focus, then said to Zheng Yun: "Today we are going to participate in the Pirate Festival, we agreed to find the treasure."

"Ah."

Zheng Yun got up and rubbed his head.

Only then did he remember that it had been three days since he returned from the bow glacier, and the Pirate Festival started today.

"Go wash up."

Song Wan reached out and grabbed Zheng Yun's hand, pulled him up, pushed him into the bathroom, and stuffed the toothbrush into his hand.

"Uh-huh."

Zheng Yun nodded, recalling the nightmare just now, put the toothbrush into his mouth, only to realize that there was no toothpaste squeezed out.

"Haha."

Song Wan covered her mouth and laughed out loud, but Zheng Yun gave her a helpless look before forcing her smile back and running out of the bedroom.

Sigh silently.

Zheng Yun knew the source of his nightmare was because he refused to save James.

He thought his decision was wise, even if it happened a hundred times again, he would not bring his brothers in to save people, and put them in danger for a stranger.

But invisible moral pressure also exists, and I usually don’t think of it, and it only quietly emerges in my sleep at night.

So he chose to go in alone to save people in his dream, found James, and finally killed James in the dream.

There is nothing to say. He is a normal person. When he encounters this kind of situation for the first time, he will always think about it for a few days. After this time, he should be fine, and the symptoms will not last long.

After washing, go downstairs.

The others had already had breakfast and were waiting for themselves, but they were embarrassed to go up and call, only Liu Ming and Song Wan didn't care.

"Is that girl still awake?" Zheng Yun walked to the dining table and asked Hu Ruihua and the others while eating.

"No, this is very strange. Not only did she not wake up, but even Sienke and the others didn't wake up. The hospital said it might be due to anesthesia." Hu Ruihua said seriously.

"Neural anesthesia?" Zheng Yun frowned.

"I can't explain this, because the hospital didn't figure it out. It might be similar to anesthetics. They inhaled gas with similar ingredients." Hu Ruihua sighed.

"You said it was the kind of flammable gas that has an anesthetic effect?" Zheng Yun picked up the plate and ate a piece of barbecue.

"No, the hospital extracted some residual gas from Sienke's lungs. It is a mixed gas with complex components. After burning, the chemical formula cannot be restored."

"It's another problem that's difficult to solve by scientific means, but the most important thing is the triggering method of this gas. The ice crack hole usually doesn't have this kind of gas. Once it gushes out, it will burn with the flame."

Sister Wang shook her head and explained.

Zheng Yun didn't ask any more questions. The matter here will be put aside for the time being. They won't go in. It's useless to think about it.

"The scope of this pirate festival is very large, with a length of more than [-] kilometers, and the deepest part is [-] kilometers into the glacier mountain range. I really don't have to worry about tourists accidentally going somewhere."

Liu Ming pressed the remote control to change the subject.

"It should be a proven safe place. I heard that the first prize is a yacht. It really cost me money." Huzi happily turned his head to look at Zheng Yun.

Are they sure about finding the treasure?Even if this treasure is stuffed into the emperor's tomb, it can still be taken out!
"Where are you going to find it?" Zheng Yun asked. You can participate in this event, and you may encounter problems if you come across it.

"It's all luck." Hu Ruihua shook his head.

"This area is next to the ancient boat scenic spot that the boss of Sichuan Cuisine said, we can go there to look for it first." Song Wan suggested that she cared more about this kind of thing than anyone else.

"Alright." Hu Zi nodded.

The rest of the people have no opinion.

After Zheng Yun finished his meal, he walked out of the family hotel and found that the ice in the north was densely covered with snowmobiles and sledges, with various pirate flags on them, all of which were for festivals to find treasures.

"It's a good thing we rented a car early, otherwise we wouldn't be able to rent a car today." Huzi jumped out of the car.

They also had two snowmobiles, both three-box, big enough for them to sit on and to tow a sled behind.

"Let's go then."

Everyone dressed up and boarded the car.

The place they are going to is in the northeast direction, about 140 kilometers away from the Christmas Islands. On the edge of the Pirate Festival, they can walk along the edge of the Glacier Mountains.

After arriving at this place, there is only a straight-line distance of [-] kilometers from the abandoned ancient ship scenic spot that Song Wan said, and the total distance is only [-] kilometers, which is closer than the iceberg at the bow of the ship.

Look at the map.

The distance between these two places is very far, and there is a distance of more than 70 kilometers between the two points.

Therefore, some unreasonable guesses can be directly ruled out, such as the connection between the two, and the ancient ship on the bow glacier extended to this abandoned ancient ship scenic spot in one go.

thought here.

Zheng Yun suddenly realized one thing, the word "bow" in Bingshan's bow, doesn't it mean the bow of an ancient ship?
This is really not good.

Go back and look up the origin of the name.

After warming up the car a little, everyone drove back and forth toward the northeast. This time, they were divided into two teams. Hu Ruihua led their people, Zheng Yun led Liu Ming, Song Wan and others, plus Xiao Hu.

Originally, Huzi wanted to come over.

But Xiao Hu is more familiar with technological products, even if he gets separated or has an accident, he will be more useful than Hu Zi.

Zheng Yun followed Hu Ruihua and drove across the ice of Yimapingchuan. The iceberg was on their left. No matter how fast they drove, the glacier was always unhurried.

But they dare not drive too fast.

Today's ice surface is too lively, people are everywhere, experienced professional explorers all go into the mountain, ordinary tourists with no experience just take their children to search around the ice.

On the way, they talked about the major accidents in the past 20 years. Song Wan said that she investigated the information and downloaded the identities of most of the seventy people who died.

"Forty of them are related to the Royal British Museum, and the remaining [-] are their tour guides. But among the forty people, seven of them couldn't find any information. I only found a photo of them together before they left on the Internet."

Song Wan took the tablet and released a photo.

Zheng Yun was very interested in this, so he simply parked on the side of the road and let Xiao Hu continue to drive. He and Song Wan changed seats in the last row, took the tablet in her hand, and looked through it carefully.

"Are you okay? Why did you stop?"

Hu Ruihua asked through the intercom, and the car behind him suddenly stopped, which startled him and thought something had happened.

"It's okay, let's go, Captain Hu."

Xiao Hu whispered, and then put down the walkie-talkie. This time, he succeeded as an undercover agent!Being able to eavesdrop at a close distance...to listen to Zheng Yun's secrets and plans!
"I drew these seven people."

Song Wan stretched out her hand, and seven red circles appeared on the group photo, some were sitting in the front row, and some were standing in the back row.

Zheng Yun looked thoughtful.

This group photo shows a total of forty people, sitting in a row and standing in a row. The background seems to be an outer gate of the Royal Museum. The time display in the lower right corner is 1999.8.1.

"When was the death?"

Zheng Yun looked at Song Wan and asked.

"It was from July 2002.7.25 to August 8.8, [-]. No one is sure about this. It was in mid-August that no one could be found to confirm his disappearance." Song Wan flipped the tablet and found a local news report.

The date of the report was 2002.8.16. It said that members of the Royal Museum expedition team from the United Kingdom were confirmed missing and lost contact, and also listed the names of every member of the expedition team.

"Thank you for your hard work, you are very hardworking."

Zheng Yun nodded and praised Song Wan. She obviously put in a lot of effort, so she should be praised no matter what.

"En." Song Wan smiled brightly.

"But this question is very strange. They came here in 02 to look for things, and they took a photo together in 99. Maybe they came here in 99, once a year?" Song Wan wondered.

"Today is July 23, 21. This major accident happened [-] years ago, when..."

Zheng Yun closed his eyes and recalled.

I was only four years old 21 years ago, so I can't remember exactly what happened back then, so I need to think carefully.

"..."

Song Wan turned her head to look at Zheng Yun, her mouth puffed up a little, her eyes were strange, she quietly watched him with his eyes closed thinking about it.

Before Zheng Yun said that the accident 20 years ago had nothing to do with them, he asked himself not to be involved, but when he encountered such a chronological event, his first reaction was to close his eyes and recall.

Isn't this self-inflicted?

If it has nothing to do with Zheng Yun, what does he need to close his eyes to remember?Think about the weather in 02?

Obviously not so.

If he can remember, it means there is a relationship!

Others also turned their heads one after another, and even Xiao Hu in the front looked at the rearview mirror of the car and smiled strangely.

I like to watch this kind of big case involving 20 years, and so many people died, it is very exciting to think about it.

Zheng Yun didn't care about them.

He frowned, the more he recalled, the more headache he felt.

When I was four years old, Jiang Meng was only half a year old, and I vaguely remembered that they didn't live in Fuen City in W-02 in July, but in a place with jujube trees in the yard.

It should be escaping the heat.

The adoptive father was also there, not only the adoptive father, it seemed that there were many strangers at that time, at least twenty or thirty of them, it seemed that they were chasing a pig to kill in the yard, and then finished the meal in one sitting.

A group of people chase pigs.

This is the most impressive scene.

Later... Later, it seemed that everyone had left!

Zheng Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of surprise, because he really remembered something unintentionally!
It seemed to be one night in late July, when I was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night, and stared at my sister Jiang Meng with a smirk.

Then I heard it myself.

There were many people passing by in the yard outside, as many as a main road, as if there were countless people passing by.

At that time, I was half asleep and half awake, my young mind couldn't turn around, I thought I fell asleep in a pawn shop, the street was outside, and it was normal for people to walk around.

Come to think of it now.

This is not normal!
With so many people passing through the yard, there should be only one possibility, they entered or exited from the fairy gate.

But does this have anything to do with the W-08 accident?Do you need so many people to deal with seventy Westerners?

"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"

Song Wan followed Zheng Yun in a spirited way.

"It's okay, I thought of some other things, you continue to talk." Zheng Yun shook his head, it shouldn't be the same thing, then he still has no evidence of his adoptive father's action.

If you still doubt it.

I can only check the meteorological cloud map here, and see what year and date the cloud map circled by my adoptive father is.

There are not many satellites on W-08, and the weather cloud map may be taken by a hot air balloon, so you should be able to find a file in the local area.

"Of the seven unidentified people, three are sitting in the middle of the first row. They may be the leader of their operation." Song Wan flipped back to the previous photo.

In the center of the first row sat a very cautious old white man. The first and third people on his left and the third person on his right were all circled by Song Wan.

These people have obvious characteristics, high nose bridge, blue eyes and deep eye sockets, and obviously aristocratic attire, with dazzlingly white skin, a bit like Nordic race.
