Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 662 Murder
After everyone left, Li Gangtie asked Wen Chaohui: "Leader, what are your instructions?"
Wen Chaohui was silent for a while and said, "Let's go to the other entrance."
Since the terrain here is low and it is impossible to dig through, let's try from the other end.
Li Gangtie nodded, thinking it made sense, and took the group to another mountain. There was no way to get through here, so they could only walk.
The group did not dare to delay and waded through the snow at night. Because the nearby mountains had collapsed, it took a long time to find the direction.
Once we can go up the mountain, the road will be easier to walk on.
"It'll probably take another half an hour to get there," said Li Gangtie.
Wen Chaohui nodded and said nothing, but he couldn't stop feeling irritated.
Something happened here two days ago. I don't know if Yuan Jiasi is here. If he is, he might have died. If he is not, I don't know where to find him.
The group finally found the entrance to the mountain, only to find that it had almost collapsed. But this time Wen Chaohui did not give up and asked Liang Huaxin to lead people to find the right direction and open up the passage.
Whether it is yes or no, I have to take a look at it before I can be satisfied.
The guards on the mission didn't dare to refute, they just picked a point to start. Li Gangtie couldn't help, so he said he would go find food for everyone.
They came out in a hurry and didn't bring much dry food. They originally thought they could return soon, but looking at the situation, they couldn't do it in a short time.
Wen Chaohui waved his hand and let him go.
Shen Yanming wanted to help, but was stopped. "You are not capable enough, so just wait here obediently."
Shen Yanming had no choice but to talk to Wen Mengguan.
Soon, the entrance to the secret passage was cleared. Looking at the large rock blocking the passage, Liang Huaxin said, "Put down the tools!"
Mou Anxing nodded, put their small robot into the gap, and prepared to explore the way first.
Fortunately, the rocks that fell into the passage were all large, so there were many gaps, and the small robot could move smoothly.
From the images it sent back, it can be seen that many people had come in and out of the passage.
Until about twenty or thirty meters away, a dark red color appeared on the screen.
"Is this, blood?" Mou Anxing was stunned, and hurried to find Wen Chaohui with Liang Huaxin.
By the time they handed the monitor to Wen Chaohui, several frozen bodies had already appeared on the screen.
"Adjust the direction." Wen Chaohui said.
Mou Anxing nodded and pointed the robot's camera at the body lying on the ground.
At first glance, they looked like they were killed by falling rocks, but a closer look revealed that this was not the case.
"Their arms were cut off!" Everyone around the monitor saw it, "This is not a simple accident!"
"Dig and bring the people out. At the same time, pay attention to protecting the scene and recording all traces at the scene." Wen Chaohui was furious.
A shadow was cast over everyone's heart, which was even more heartbreaking than a simple accident.
Shen Yanming was in extremely complicated mood at this time.
Yuan Jiasi should have been relieved if he hadn't died because of him. But since he was gone, he couldn't relax.
Wen Chao would feel the low pressure on Shen Yanming and patted his shoulder: “Okay, don’t think about it, everyone has their own destiny.”
Although they were all responsible, if Yuan Jiasi had not come to this remote place, the accident would not have happened.
Shen Yanming nodded and said nothing.
People in the secret passage kept moving the fallen rocks out, and Shen Yanming also helped. The rising sun illuminated the earth, and he could see the anxiety and anger on everyone's face.
Li Gangtie came back with a bunch of rabbits. Shen Yanming's eyes lit up. He put down the stone in his hand and went to help cook.
Alas, he couldn't compete with others and could only do odd jobs. When it came to clearing the passage, one more of him wouldn't make much difference, and one less of him wouldn't make much either.
Shen Yanming’s skill in grilling meat is pretty good. Bi Qiaoan is picky, so he has many opportunities to practice.
As for rabbit, although I have never roasted it, it should be similar to barbecue.
Li Gangtie was quite happy to see someone helping him. He had caught quite a few rabbits, and it would have taken him a while to roast them without help.
The two men skinned the rabbit, removed the internal organs and buried it. They found some firewood nearby and built a fire.
Shen Yanming took out wet wipes from his bag, wiped his hands and face, then took out a seasoning bottle and handed it to Li Gangtie.
"What's this?" Li Gangtie unscrewed it and found a mixture of salt, cumin, chili pepper, peppercorns, etc. "Hey, it really is Doraemon!"
"Like you said, you never know what you might encounter when you're out, so it's better to be fully prepared."
"Yes, but I only brought a little salt in my bag, unlike you, who are so well prepared."
Shen Yanming could only say: "You are picky, so you have to prepare yourself more fully."
Come on, come on!
The two of them quickly roasted the rabbit, and the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of seasonings drifted far away. Seeing this, Wen Chaohui called all the guards to come over for dinner.
"Not much, everyone, fill up first, I'll go get another one later." Li Gangtie said, handing the roasted rabbit in his hand to Liang Huaxin.
"You should eat too. You've been busy for so long, you can't just not eat a single bite." Liang Huaxin refused.
Li Gangtie waved his hands and said, "You guys are too embarrassed to eat. Eat first. When you've had enough, I'll go find something else to eat."
Wen Chaohui was silent for a moment before he said, "Eat it all, at least a few bites." He looked up at Li Gangtie and said, "Yuan Jiasi must have been murdered."
"What, it wasn't an accident?" Li Gangtie stood up in shock. He had always thought that Yuan Jiasi had an accident because of the treasure.
"The reason may still be the same, but there was a human accident along the way. Eat quickly, and then go help us after a while. We still have to look for clues."
Li Gangtie nodded and shared the rabbit with Liang Huaxin. Although the barbecue tasted good, everyone ate it with no appetite.
Shen Yanming did not stand out from the crowd and shared a rabbit with a guard, but he only ate one leg and said that his wife had prepared food for him.
The guard didn't bother to be polite with him and ate all the remaining rabbits.
Shen Yanming was quite convinced by this. He didn't expect that Li Gangtie could take down several rabbit nests in just a few hours.
With this ability, it’s no wonder he dared to go up the mountain on a mission without bringing anything.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it.
After eating the rabbit, several people took out the water bottles from their bags and drank some water, then solved some personal problems and continued to work. Shen Yanming did not have the ability of others, so he could only move stones and help.
Wen Chaohui was also busy, checking the environment nearby, and found a lot of hidden half-collapsed caves.
It turns out that the mountain is like a sieve, which is why it is so fragile. But what exactly caused the collapse?
Wen Chaohui was thinking about this and accidentally walked into a cave with signs of life.
