Chapter 163 Ice Pick
Having too many people may not always be a good thing.
Faced with so many enthusiastic hunters who came to help search for Ye Zheng's whereabouts, if Ye Zheng himself still had any sense, he would probably feel a lot of pressure, right?
Feng Ling and Li Qing silently returned to the team.
The hunters were almost rested, and everyone set off towards Area B again.
Compared with the harsh and cold march in the snowy forest, they walked extremely smoothly during the journey in Area D.
Li Qing was multitasking. While following the team forward, he used his mobile phone to surf the Internet to collect information on Slavic mythology.
Two hours later, the team finally arrived at the outskirts of Area B.
There are many ice picks as tall as a person piled up on the ground here. A few dozen meters away, you can see the rippled space wall and the raging blizzard at the other end of the space.
The cold makes the hunters look frightened.
The wind and snow in area B seem to be heavier and colder than in area A.
Li Qing is browsing the web. The network signal on his mobile phone is only 1 bar, and the web page fails to load.
He put away his cell phone and looked up for Feng Ling. When he saw Feng Ling put on the cold-proof clothes again and was about to enter the maze in Area B, he quickly covered the green weasel in his arms with both hands, trying to keep warm.
The team was silent and depressed.
Perhaps it is because the cold is so unbearable that it extinguishes the blood in the hearts of the hunters.
When we are about to enter Area B, we can almost feel the cold wind and snow in the maze, which is as sharp as a knife.
Xu Yiming in the team hesitated and called out to the leader Feng Ling: "Feng Ling, wait a moment."
Feng Ling looked back at him.
Xu Yiming turned around and looked at Su Yuqing behind him, and said hesitantly: "Old Su, why don't you stay outside? I think it's quite windy and snowy inside. If you go in with us, your body may not be able to bear it. "
Su Yuqing coughed in a low voice and gasped and replied: "I came all the way here just to find Ye Zheng. Now that the maze is in front of me, you want me to stay outside? "
He breathed a few more low breaths and said with some urgency: "Okay, let's go quickly. Don't worry about me. I have other clones anyway. You can take care of yourself."
" No, can you stop being so stubborn?" Xu Yiming frowned and said, "In your current situation, you won't be able to help much if you go in. I have to look for Ye Zheng, and I have to take care of you. Can you just lighten the burden for me?"
Xu Yiming felt quite uncomfortable.
He has a wide network of friends and has many friends, but he only has two or three close friends, including Su Yuqing and Ye Zheng.
Now that Ye Zheng's whereabouts are unknown, if something happens to Su Yuqing again, he will blame himself for the rest of his life.
As for Su Yuqing's clone ability, Xu Yiming knows it better than anyone else. Every time Su Yuqing makes a clone, it costs a lot of money! It is certainly better for the clone to be alive than to be dead!
The two got into an argument outside the maze.
Feng Ling couldn't judge this matter and could only watch from the sidelines.
At this time, a hunter in the team suddenly shouted: "Look at these ice picks! There are people in the ice!!!"
Everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at the nearby ice picks.
There happened to be an ice pick next to Feng Ling. He glanced at it and couldn't see what was inside.
This kind of ice cone is somewhat like an ice pimple formed after melting snow. It is thick at the bottom and thin at the top. It is not transparent, but layers of gray, filled with sand and dead leaves.
Feng Ling took a few steps closer.
The outline of a human figure is vaguely wrapped in the ice.
It’s too blurry to see clearly.
She was thinking about breaking the ice to check, but a hunter had already done what she wanted to do first -
Crack!
A very clear ice-breaking sound.
Then someone yelled "f*ck" and all the hunters gathered around. "Really a person!"
"It's the hunter who came in with us! The cold-proof clothes this man is wearing are the same as the ones we are wearing!"
Feng Ling also hurried over to take a look.
I saw that a layer of ice had been chipped away from the side of the ice pick, and half of the arm of the corpse was torn off with it. However, what flowed out from the crack in the corpse was not blood, but a red and white gelatinous substance.
This scene is really weird.
Judging from the standing posture of the corpse, this person should have been alive when he was made into an ice pick. Why was there no sign of resistance? And the inside of the body becomes like this...
The hunters were a little angry when they saw their compatriots being killed.
While observing the surroundings vigilantly, they checked other ice picks, trying to find survivors.
“There are people here too!” Another hunter shouted loudly.
Because they were afraid of hurting the people inside the ice, they were more careful when breaking the ice this time, but what they got was a hollow skin.
Xu Yiming looked carefully and found that there was no flesh, blood, or bones. Inside the ice pick, there was only a layer of skin that was frozen like a paper shell.
Is this still a person?
It's like... drained from the inside.
"The cold-proof clothing on this person is different from ours." Xu Yiming said thoughtfully, "Maybe he is from the previous expedition team."
Su Yuqing's mood when mentioning the expedition team Immediately excited, he squeezed through the crowd to see the body in person.
Xu Yiming took off a watch from Pi Nang's hand and sighed in a low voice: "It's not Ye Zheng, it's Gu Xizhe."
He saw the engraving on the back of the watch.
Everyone fell silent.
Gu Xizhe was also among the first batch of people to participate in the experiment. Although the growth of the cards in the later period was not as significant as that of Ye Zheng, he was definitely considered a leader among the inspectors and was very popular among the people.
But who would have thought that an elite member of the Supervision Bureau would die with such an appearance.
Some people bowed their heads and remained silent.
Someone's eyes were red.
Xu Yiming carefully put away Gu Xizhe's watch, put it into the innermost pocket of his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
Feng Ling glanced at everyone's expressions and felt This might be an opportunity, so he said, "Even Gu Xizhe has had an accident. It must be very dangerous in Area B. We might as well act separately."
Xu Yiming was stunned for a moment and looked up at her.
"No matter what your plan is, I must go inside." Su Yuqing said with a cold face.
He was still in a state of agitation, not at all reserved and modest as usual.
Feng Ling looked at the hunters calmly, "Everyone came to participate in the cleanup operation. In fact, the goal has been achieved. We eliminated a large number of pollutants in Area A. Entering Area B to find people is an additional plan, but , now it is discovered that there are highly dangerous and deadly creatures in the maze. I think that for safety reasons, everyone should make a new choice and choose carefully whether it is necessary to To find someone you don’t know and risk your life?”
Xu Yiming nodded when he heard this, “Yes, there are too many unknown dangers in the maze. There is no need for all of us to go in. , I’m not afraid of saying something sensational. Those who choose to stay don’t mean they are timid, because someone has to become the tinder. We can’t all die, right?”
The hunters looked hesitant.
They do not think that they are timid. It is precisely because they dare to fight against alien species that they signed up to participate in the eradication operation.
But if there are dangers in the maze that even a character like Gu Xizhe cannot handle, it will indeed make people shrink back.
At this time, Li Qing added a handful of firewood and said slowly: "I think... I may know what kind of creature did this."
