Immortal Mountain is not a small mountain, but a large mountain range.
"The Immortal Mountain has eleven large peaks and seven valleys. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and the climate is cold. The four seasons are distinct in the central part, but the valley is like spring all year round." Ge Yang softly read the information about the Immortal Mountain to everyone, "The Immortal Mountain
, the reason why it is called the Immortal Mountain is that when it was first discovered, there was no record of death of anyone who entered here. Whether it was an accident or being attacked by a wild beast."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they all fell into deep thought. How come no one lives in such a safe place? Wouldn't it be suitable to build a city here?
Why is it protected and turned into a protected area? No one is allowed to enter here without a special permit.
What exactly is here?
The research center sent a team of eight people in total.
In addition to Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, there are also Ge Yang and Brunei. The other four people are Chang Xing and Ye Heng from the Security Department, and Shi Yun and Hu Mei from the Transportation Department. All the equipment, equipment and supplies that came out this time are all
It was carried by these two people.
Shi Yun looked like he was in his early twenties, with a very cold expression and looked like he was not easy to deal with.
Hu Mei was different, with long and narrow eyes, and a charming aura unique to foxes. The young men immediately blushed when they looked at her. She was born with a bit of laziness, and now she was leaning on the sofa, looking more and more...
Her legs looked slender and slender. She glanced at the crowd and said, "Such a good job for us? I feel weird no matter how I think about it. I've always been unlucky, so don't think there's some deep meaning in it that we don't know."
Brunei shook his head: "It's no big deal if we die. As long as we can survive, isn't it the same for us everywhere? What else do we deserve for others to plot against us?"
Shi Yun glanced at Brunei: "You can see clearly."
Brunei smiled bitterly: "What can we do if we can't see it?"
Ge Yang looked at Lin Yutong: "You are the team leader. Didn't you say when we can go back? It's not like we didn't find out that we can't go back, right?"
Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master. This was also a question in her mind. Because the notice did not mention the return date at all. But at this time, she could not say that. Reassuring people's hearts was the first priority. She chuckled: "First of all, we have to have confidence in our hearts.
, that is this time, we will definitely find something edible."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Yutong suspiciously.
Lin Yutong said: "How did the ancients survive when they encountered a famine? They survived by eating grass roots and bark. Since grass roots and bark cannot kill people, this proves that these things can provide the nutrients needed for human survival.
.The current separation technology is pretty good. Is it a discovery to separate these things?"
Fourth Master continued: "Moreover, the fruits of the crops have become smaller, but the branches and leaves have become thicker. Can we guess that these branches and leaves contain some kind of energy. And this energy..."
Needless to say, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. If there really is such an unknown substance, once it is discovered, it means that men no longer have to rely on women's space.
The words of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong are just trying to satisfy everyone's hunger. But we have to say that the possibility of this speculation being true is extremely high.
Although the path pointed out is a little deviated from what President Qi expected, this is just a matter of catching a rabbit in the grass.
"So, the return date is uncertain. What does it matter?" Lin Yutong spread his hands, "We are well prepared when we come out this time." He said, looking at Shi Yun, "We have brought enough food and water for the short term.
?”
Shi Yun nodded: "My space is of water nature. It can provide daily water for ten people. It can carry food for three months."
That also means that for at least three months, they have no intention of asking them to go back.
Hu Mei sat up and said, "All the outdoor tents and building materials have been brought."
Chang Xing, who had been silent, said: "It is definitely not possible to live in a tent for more than three months. Since we have brought building materials, we still have to set up a camp. Leave this to us." Then he looked at Ye Heng, "What do you think?"
Ye Heng nodded in approval: "Even if the defense level of a house is not high, it is still better than a tent."
Nowadays, all building materials are foldable and retractable. To build a house, you only need to build it. Solar energy panels can provide all the energy needed in the house, whether it is cooling or heating.
Therefore, a brief meeting on the aircraft made a rough plan for the next step.
I originally thought that the aircraft would send them to the designated location no matter what, but who knew that it stopped ten kilometers away from the Immortal Mountain and did not even land. Instead, it lowered the spiral ladder and asked the eight people to go down.
The captain was a cold-hearted middle-aged man. He didn't say a single unnecessary word and asked the eight people to get off. This also meant that they had to walk the entire ten kilometers.
A twenty-mile road is nothing to them. Because at the foot of the mountain, although there is no road, it is still half a man deep in grass. This is nothing to them.
"Two minutes can take us to the scheduled valley, but now we have to walk there." Hu Mei said charmingly, "It's ten kilometers from here to the foot of the mountain. But what about the valley? We still have to climb a whole mountain.
Mountain. What do you mean?"
Lin Yutong couldn't help but glance at Hu Mei, and she shrugged at Lin Yutong, "What? Team leader, did I say something wrong?"
"No!" Lin Yutong didn't say anything unnecessary and just walked with his legs up. Talking less would also reduce some physical exertion.
Chang Xing walked in the front: "I will explore the way for us." His biggest responsibility is to protect the safety of others.
The scenery here is beautiful, and there are colorful flowers everywhere. The flowers are huge and dotted in the deep and shallow green land. The beauty is really intoxicating.
After walking less than half the distance, Fourth Master motioned to Lin Yutong to look at Chang Xing walking in front of him. Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chang Xing's forehead. There was sweat on Chang Xing's forehead.
It is normal for people to sweat when they are tired from walking.
But if you can enter the security office, even if your strength is scum, you are still much stronger than ordinary people. How far have you walked and you are so tired? There is something wrong with this situation.
She turned to look at the other men. Ye Heng, who was walking at the end of the team, was similar to Chang Xing, but the sweat on the faces of Ge Yang and Wen Lai was already flowing down their cheeks.
This is also because their strength is weak. It is common for them to sweat after doing too much, so they have not thought about other places for the time being.
"Have a rest." Lin Yutong suddenly said, "Why do you think you were deceived by the captain? This journey is definitely more than ten kilometers."
"Let me tell you! Why am I so tired!" Ge Yang sat down on the ground, panting from exhaustion.
Chang Xing looked at the information card on his wrist in confusion: "We have only walked less than five kilometers."
"Impossible!" Ye Heng shook his head, "Why do I feel like I have walked fifty kilometers?"
Brunei sat up and asked, "Is there something wrong with the magnetic field? Otherwise, why wouldn't the aircraft fly this way?"
There is something wrong with the magnetic field, so the information card is inaccurate? Is the display wrong?
Chang Xing looked up at the sun: "Can the magnetic field affect the sun? Look at the sun's deflection angle and calculate the time. Did we walk fifty kilometers?"
Shi Yun looked at Lin Yutong: "It's five kilometers, right! Team leader, I believe you can feel it. My perception is normal."
Before Lin Yutong could speak, Hu Mei answered: "This can't be like that, right?"
"What kind?" Chang Xing asked.
Hu Mei looked at Lin Yutong with a half-smile but not a smile: "Team leader, what I want to say is that it disturbs the morale of the army?"
Lin Yutong did not look at Hu Mei, but threw a sweet potato produced in space over, "Bake it yourself. Try to replenish some energy first."
Brunei caught it and smiled: "What the hell? The power is really gone. It's just a little tiring for us. How can it be worse? Besides, there is this supplement..."
Lin Yutong said: "Don't worry, the supply of energy and food is sufficient. I believe it will pass if you hold on."
This can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.
Hu Mei curled her lips and said no more unnecessary words.
But the atmosphere among the eight people suddenly became dull.
This place is so weird that it creates fear in people's hearts.
After everyone finished eating, Lin Yutong had to hold another small meeting: "If anyone wants to withdraw now, please speak up. I will contact the superiors immediately and will not force anyone." Even if he and Fourth Master were the only ones left, he could not do it.
It doesn't matter, it's more convenient.
She looked at Hu Mei: "If you want to leave, bring it up now. I don't like to listen to self-righteous nonsense." She always thinks that she is the smartest. Who doesn't understand the problem she thinks of? Why don't others say it? She babbles.
It was endless. For a moment, she was a little suspicious of Hu Mei's motives.
Hu Mei's face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, and then she pursed her lips: "Okay, okay! I won't say yes. I was transferred to this group for no reason and came to such a ghost place. Who feels at ease? It's so nice to be at home.
, we have flowers and grass to grow, we have plenty of food and clothing, we live so comfortably, and we don’t have to worry about anything. Look now, sleeping in the open air, what kind of clothes are you wearing? It’s so ugly!”
Ge Yang happily reconciled: "What is that? She is beautiful and looks good in anything. Maybe we will come out right, and we may not be able to build a paradise."
Lin Yutong looked at a few people: "There has never been a savior in the world. I really think that we are raised in vain. This is the principle of raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while. Stop complaining! If even this value is useless
, I guess we are all the same, going back and forth from where we are. You must have experienced what the outer area, E area, these places are like. So, you'd better prove your worth."
These words don't sound good, and they even tear away the veil of tenderness covering the incident, but they are also the truth of the matter.
No one spoke for a while.
Fourth Master stood up and gave Lin Yutong a hand: "Everyone, get up. We can camp at the foot of the mountain before dark."
Spring is not the rainy season, but that doesn't mean it won't rain. When the water from the mountain comes down, it will soon turn into a river. You can't stay here for long.
This time no one said any nonsense and everyone quickly got up and went on their way.
This journey was much smoother, perhaps because we knew there was no way out, so no one complained. I managed to hold on until it was dark, and reached the foot of the mountain.
Chang Xing did not rest. He first found a flat place in a sheltered place on the mountain, then called Hu Mei, took out the tent and set it up. "The space is limited, it is impossible for each person to have a tent."
"The two of them have one." Lin Yutong said, looking at the others, "You have no objection?"
Except for Hu Mei who curled her lips, everyone else nodded.
Hu Mei and Shi Yun are in a group, Chang Xing and Ye Heng are in a group, and Ge Yang and Wen Lai are in a group.
Lin Yutong arranged for everyone, and gave another person a sweet potato. Then he looked for the fourth master who was standing on a high rock and looked down. "What are you looking at?" Her voice was low. She didn't understand what the fourth master would do when he arrived here.
Reason why emotions become weird.
Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong to the rock: "Look down, what do you think of the terrain here?"
Lin Yutong really didn't know about this. He had read a few Feng Shui books, but reading and practicing were two different things. "I can't see it."
The Fourth Master's voice became even lower: "This place hides the wind and gathers Qi. It seems like a good Feng Shui treasure land."
"Then we live here?" Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask.
The Fourth Master shook his head: "Being a ghost house is a good Feng Shui treasure."
To bury the dead?
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master in astonishment, not joking like this.
But this place is clearly called the Immortal Mountain!
No one dies here in the Immortal Mountain, so how can it be the best place to live in the underworld?
"Could it be a coincidence?" Lin Yutong asked in a low voice.
"What a coincidence?" Fourth Master chuckled: "It happens to be called Immortal Mountain?"
This Immortal Mountain sounds more like some kind of expectation or hint.
No one has died here, because all the people left here should be dead.
The wind blew out of the mountain forest. Lin Yutong was not cold, but she still shivered. The sound of rustling leaves on the trees was more like someone whispering in his ear.
Fourth Master took Lin Yutong's hand: "It's all guesswork, I can't be sure. Don't be afraid!"
It's not that she's afraid! She can't be afraid either. Dead people are easier to get along with than living people. Living people are much scarier than dead people.
She felt cold.
The two of them felt heavy in their hearts. On the other side, Chang Xing was already shouting, "The meal is ready. Come back and eat quickly."
What's in the rice cooker is dry rice made from potatoes and corn. It's actually mashed potatoes. Except for a slight salty taste, there's nothing else. Lin Yutong's sweet potatoes are roasted, one for each person. As for when they will eat it, it's not Lin Yutong.
It's time to take care of it.
With the mountain breeze blowing, eight people sat around and had a boring meal, then each went back to their tent.
It was warm in the tent, so Lin Yutong cooked two more bowls of asparagus noodles, added green vegetables, added sesame oil, mixed with beef sauce, and ate it warm, feeling comfortable.
Except for the sound of wind, it was very quiet outside. I didn't know what others were doing in the tent.
Lin Yutong asked the fourth master in a low voice: "Are you saying Qi Yong has bad intentions?"
Fourth Master shook his head: "That's not wrong. I asked you to bring people out at this juncture... I remember that you contacted your parents before you went out. They also knew that you were coming to the Immortal Mountain. What did they say?"
This was also Lin Yutong's doubt. If Qi Yong wanted to harm him, his parents would not ignore him. But they didn't say anything. They only said that it was safe here and that they could stay at ease.
If this place can make the men who come here lose their strength, then it is actually very safe here.
She told her fourth master her speculation: "Even if Qi Yong wants to use me for something, he won't make fun of my life."
Fourth Master adjusted his sleeping position and asked Lin Yutong to lean more comfortably: "Because it is safe here, so I didn't rush to ask you to go back?" But is the research center in danger?
"Go to sleep! As long as it's safe, okay?" he said, patting her in familiar rhythms. After a short time, she fell asleep.
The fourth master's eyes were open, and the murder case in Area E kept appearing in front of his eyes, the person pretending to be a staff member trying to come to the door, Lin Jiahe's ten-year-old face, and the investigation report that Qi Yong mentioned.
These things are all connected in series, and the answers obtained are somewhat frightening.
At this time, Qi Yong sent someone here. What did he want to do? What answer did he want?
If the people buried here are really dead, then who will be buried here? Human power will disappear here. Does it have anything to do with those people buried here?
He felt that people's research on space had reached a level that was almost perverted. So, all the women who died should be buried here. Whether they died of natural causes or accidents, they would be buried in this mountain.
When they die, where does the space go? Where does the energy go?
Will it evolve into another form of energy?
It seems that not only men are concerned about this issue, but women are also concerned about it.
In fact, what Qi Yong wanted them to find from the very beginning was not to find any new species. Instead, he wanted them to see if everything here contained energy.
Only these losers can sense even a tiny amount of energy. People living in the central area have become dull to such small changes. Besides, the environment here makes people lose their power.
It also makes these people afraid and dare not approach.
That’s why this research and inspection team was formed.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to only give three months to find species. This is a matter that cannot be specified in time. Time, luck, and opportunity are all indispensable.
But if that's the case, why give them food rations for three months? Let them fend for themselves here, which is the best way!
It forces people to search for food in the mountains. This is the most time-saving and direct way.
Do you want to wait three months without sending someone to pick you up? Then the time spent will be half as long.
When the fourth master thought this, his expression suddenly changed, and he sat up suddenly: "Not good!"
