Qin Ye's gaze swept across the map repeatedly, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
He was born with an extraordinary sensitivity to maps and directions, coupled with his photographic memory. Having been stationed in this area for many years, he had long been intimately familiar with the terrain.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity about a certain place on the map.
"etc."
He suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and took out the military map he had prepared before setting off, which was filled with detailed contour lines and coordinates, from his backpack. He carefully spread it out next to the animal skin map.
One is an ancient and mysterious animal hide, the other is the most accurate military map of this era.
The two maps placed together create a wonderful sense of temporal and spatial displacement.
Qin Ye's finger moved slowly across the two maps, constantly comparing them.
Su Tang didn't disturb him, but just watched quietly from the side.
When Qin Ye gets serious, the profile of his face appears exceptionally sharp and striking under the moonlight, possessing a fatal attraction.
Time passed by, second by second.
Qin Ye first determined the approximate area of the ancient map based on several iconic mountain peaks, and then began to compare the smaller rivers and valleys.
His finger stopped at one of the three marks on the ancient map, then abruptly moved to his own military map.
His breath caught in his throat for a moment.
"Tangtang."
"This mark...it, the location it points to..."
"Aren't these the coordinates of the underground cave we just came out of?"
Su Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly went over to examine the two maps carefully.
That's right.
Although the ancient map was drawn roughly, the direction of the mountains and the location of the rivers perfectly matched the coordinates on the military map.
It seems they've stumbled upon one of the three legendary "holy lands" by sheer accident.
That so-called "sacred relic"...
It is not the Snow Lotus of the Thousand Mountains that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded at all.
Instead...
The enormous mine she had completely emptied and stored in her spatial storage—the "Hermes-7" composite mineral vein.
If a "holy land" contains super strategic resources that are enough to change the future world order.
What about the other two?
She understood instantly.
The girl named Ayun's goal was never some elusive miracle drug, but rather these mineral veins that could drive any country crazy.
But how did she know? Is there an even larger interest group behind her?
Now, her curiosity about the other two places was truly piqued.
"This pool is much deeper than we imagined," Qin Ye said in a deep voice, looking at Su Tang with a complicated expression.
He knew the value of that mineral vein, and he also knew that it was currently in his wife's spatial storage, which made him feel like a huge stone was pressing on his heart.
Su Tang saw through his thoughts, pointed to two other points on the map, and deliberately asked in a relaxed tone:
"What about these two points? Commander Qin, could you analyze them again?"
Qin Ye's thoughts were pulled back, and he pointed to one of the points:
"The second point is on the ridge of the main peak of Nyainqêntanglha Mountain. The coordinates show an altitude of over 5,600 meters. It is covered with snow all year round and is a high-risk area for avalanches, almost a no-man's land."
“The third point…” His brows furrowed even more, “pointing to a glacial lake, one of the tributaries of Namtso. There’s no special marking on the map, but these kinds of high-altitude lakes are often bottomless, with extremely complex underwater conditions.”
The two places are both more dangerous than the other.
It's simply not something the two of them can reach immediately at this stage.
After listening, Su Tang understood the situation.
She poked the animal hide map and looked at Qin Ye with a smile: "This thing is really a hot potato now."
Without saying a word, Qin Ye made a move to put the map away.
