Hearing his words, the short-haired girl bit her lip, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but raise her voice that was deliberately lowered.
Naturally, she could tell that Cheng Lin was teasing her, but in the current situation, how could Wu Shushan have any intention of joking?
Looking at her tense and serious eyebrows, Cheng Lin stopped his smile and sighed deeply: "Since there is no other way, then sighing is death, and being happy is death, so why do you have to frown."
"So...you gave up too? You can't do anything about it?" Wu Shushan's lips were already very dry because she hadn't drank water for a long time. At this time, she bit hard and even bit out a trace of bright red blood.
Cheng Lin was silent.
Then, this strong girl who was only a head shorter than Cheng Lin turned pale and looked particularly pitiful.
"What are you mumbling about? Come on, hurry up! If you don't want to suffer, don't dawdle!"
The nylon ropes tied to the wrists of the three of them exerted a huge pull, almost causing them to fall. When they turned to look, they saw the spy wearing a mountaineering suit growling coldly.
The rope in his hand became tighter and tighter.
The three of them had no choice but to move on. But this time, not only He Shu but also Wu Shushan, who had always refused to accept her fate, also lowered her head. She had never given up hope these days, but now, hope seems to be slim.
Close to zero.
Cheng Lin deliberately fell at the back and was led forward, but deep in his eyes, the backs of the four Bennetts were clearly reflected, with murderous intent looming.
In the past two days, he has been waiting for an opportunity to take action.
At first, he didn't take action because he was worried about He Shu's existence, but later when the two were tied and thrown into the cargo box, Cheng Lin changed his mind. He Shu, whose abilities had been restricted by the magic handcuffs, was now only about the same
For a strong ordinary person, it would not be difficult for Cheng Lin to stun him, including Wu Shushan, but after careful consideration, he finally chose to wait.
Bennett and his group had never left the projection area too far before. They were too close to major divisions and bureaus, including the comrades from the First Division mentioned by He Shu. To deal with one fifth-grade and two fourth-grade at once... Well,
If you add the injured spies, there are three fourth-level spies... Faced with such a combination, even Cheng Lin is not sure that he can kill everyone in a short time.
Once the battle is prolonged, if this group of people starts to flee again, the noise of the battle will easily attract Terry Si, which will increase the risk of Cheng Lin exposing his strength, and also, once Terry Si intervenes, then
It would be difficult for Cheng Lin to take possession of things belonging to Bennett and others as his own.
Taking these two factors into consideration, Cheng Lin simply pretended that there was no threat and went as a "prisoner". In his opinion, it was best to leave the country and go to a desolate wilderness, so that he could kill people by himself.
There won't be any problems.
If Cheng Lin was just an ordinary student three months ago, thinking big, acting recklessly, and not thinking that much, then now, he has learned to think twice before acting.
"Actually, I'm not totally kidding you. Being able to die on this snowy mountain is indeed a good ending for people like them... at least that's what I think."
Looking at Wu Shushan's lost and fragile back, Cheng Lin said in his heart.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the 7,000-meter peak, "I'll let you go to hell on the top of the mountain."
…
…
No one knew what Cheng Lin was thinking. A group of people, led by Bennett, deliberately avoided the path usually taken by climbers, and instead chose a more hidden and steeper direction to move forward.
Fortunately, the physical fitness of practitioners is far superior to that of ordinary people, so they can climb up the mountain at such a fast speed under such simple conditions.
The weather is fine. Against the blue sky and white clouds, this snow peak looks majestic and majestic. The top of the "steamed bun" is covered with thick snow. At noon, the sun shines brightly, shining silvery white on the huge mountain peak, dazzling and sparkling.
A group of people went upstream along an unknown river. It was gentle at first, but became steeper as they went back.
There are huge boulders on both sides of the river, like scattered guards.
After the mountain became steeper, the river also changed from gentle to violent. The clear river water roared and roared as it rushed down the mountain, like thousands of horses galloping.
During this period, several people even saw a stone with a diameter of more than one meter being washed down by the rapids and rolling along the river for two to three hundred meters before stopping.
When he reached a high place, he turned around and looked back, and he could even see the dark green lake on the grassland at the foot of the mountain. There were reflections of the mountain peaks on the lake, and Cheng Lin vaguely seemed to see himself in the reflection.
Bennett was in a hurry and moved extremely fast. If he hadn't been worried about being discovered by some people at the bottom of the mountain, he might even have run faster. In this way, the six-hour journey of an ordinary mountaineer was taken by a few people in less than two days.
It was over in an hour.
At this time, they also arrived at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. At the same height, they could vaguely see the mountaineering base camp in the distance. Similarly, the altitude sickness here was already very serious. Even the physical fitness of the practitioners felt uncomfortable.
, He Shu, who was still injured, and the girl with short hair all felt a little dizzy and their steps were heavy. However, under the urging and scolding of Bennett and others, they still had to stumble forward.
Finally, at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they finally reached the snow line at about 5,200 meters. From here up, they reach the real snow mountain glacier zone.
Because the spy was seriously injured, even though he took medicine, his recovery was limited after the bumpy journey. He asked for a rest, and everyone was able to take a short breather. However, they met a group of mountaineers, which made Bennett and others nervous for a while. The federal people watched
He was about to leave the country, so he naturally didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't kill anyone. He just let the spies fool him with their sweet talk, but it also wasted some time.
They set off again later and carefully chose a more remote direction. After all this hard work, when everyone finally arrived at the top of the mountain, it was almost evening.
"call."
Taking the last step, even Cheng Lin felt tired. As for the short-haired girl next to him, her round face was full of abnormal blush. She was panting heavily and her legs were weak. She could only lean on him.
He would not fall down, his spirit would be sluggish, he would not feel much better no matter how hard he said it, and he would sit down on the snow in exhaustion and never get up again.
Here is already the peak of Muztagh Mountain, more than 7,000 meters above sea level. At this moment, it is the evening, the red sun is setting in the western sky, and the top of the mountain is like a piece of orange-red ice.
There are no other people nearby, and there are probably only a few of them at the top of the entire mountain.
There are dense glaciers and ice towers at his feet. Cheng Lin looked at the sun in the west and felt the remaining warmth of the sunset. The sky was getting darker a little bit. The sunset was very fast. One minute it was still brilliant, and the next minute,
Darkness will come over.
"Have you reached the top of the mountain?"
When Wu Shushan saw He Shu sitting on the ground, her legs went weak and she collapsed beside Cheng Lin's legs. She squinted her eyes and held her head up to ask.
"Yes, we have reached the top of the mountain."
Cheng Lin said.
There is a big crack at the top of the peak. They are right next to the crack. Below is a huge "ice cave", like an abyss, with countless icicles of strange shapes growing in it, like countless sharp swords.
"Hahaha, Mr. Bennett, we finally reached the top of the mountain." The spy was also very tired. He leaned against a stone covered with frost and smiled heartily. He faced the west with bright eyes. "So far we have reached the top of the mountain."
There is no trace of Tris. It seems that we have indeed escaped their pursuit. Presumably, in such a large country and such a desolate place, without positioning, how easy is it to find a few of us? No way.
Different from finding a needle in a haystack, it seems that our previous worries were unnecessary."
He smiled happily, pointed at the red clouds in the sky, and said excitedly: "Not far ahead is the national border. We have already reached the top of the mountain. It will be easier to hide when it gets dark. As long as we go down the mountain and walk forward for a while, we can leave.
Xia Guo, when the time comes, even if Tris comes after us, he will not be able to capture us!"
Bennett was also very happy. He took off his hiking jacket, revealing his black leather jacket, and let out a deep laugh, "Very good, everyone has worked hard. When we get out of Xia Kingdom, we will find the nearest city to have a good rest."
.”
Hearing this, the other two fourth-grade men also smiled.
Suddenly, the spy pulled off the rope in his hand and said: "Now that we are here, these three prisoners are useless. Mr. Bennett, taking them will only delay our descent from the mountain. Otherwise, we will kill them here."
It’s fallen.”
Hearing this, Wu Shushan woke up with a start even though her brain was groggy.
Only then did they come back to their senses. Yes, since they had reached the top of the mountain and the national border was not far away, they had lost their value. Could it be that their death day had come?
Bennett pondered for two seconds, nodded and said, "Okay, as I said before, you will have full authority to handle the three of them."
After a pause, the federal man shrugged and said: "However, I don't like seeing blood very much. You'd better take them aside to deal with them. It's better, Hans, you follow to prevent a few prisoners from escaping."
He said the last sentence to one of the fourth-grade ones.
The spy cursed secretly when he heard this, thinking that these federal people are hypocritical, and you don't like to see blood? Are you a liar? But on the surface, he still smiled and nodded, then turned around, pulling the three of them as if they were dragging each other.
Three grasshoppers on a hemp rope arrived at a glacier crevice dozens of meters away.
He Shu struggled again at this time, using up his last strength to jump up and kick the opponent. However, the spy recovered better than him after all, and with his hands tied, he easily knocked him down.
Seeing Wu Shushan also wanted to rise up and resist.
He pulled out his spiritual sword, pressed the cold blade against Wu Shushan's tender face, and said with a sinister smile: "Why bother? You have to do useless work when you are about to die. Look at this Jiushan...
...Ah, I don’t know what to call it, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Look at how quiet they are. This is how you can see the situation clearly. Alas, for the sake of being from the Xia country, I treat you pretty well.
Isn’t it considered taking care of me along the way? Don’t look at me like that. At least I didn’t torture any of you, especially this female classmate..."
He stood on the edge of the gap, holding a spiritual sword in his hand, facing the three of them, as if he was in a good mood, "Besides, this place can be considered a pretty good cemetery, right? After finishing you off, I will throw your bodies into the gap."
Down, in the ice, the body will not rot for a long time in this temperature. It should be able to survive until someone discovers it. You see, how good I am to you."
As he narrated, He Shu began to curse, while Wu Shushan sat on the ground blankly, with two lines of tears rolling down her beautiful cheeks. She had been strong and did not cry all the way, but now, seeing that she was about to
Death, finally unable to suppress the emotions in my heart, the tears fell down with a bang and fell on the solid ice, quickly cooling and freezing.
The spy admired the desperate looks of the two men and was satisfied. However, when he saw Cheng Lin, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
