Paintings of Terror

The thirteen members who entered the painting met at the agreed time and place, drove four off-road vehicles, and drove day and night to Xiyuan.

"I really can't figure out why this 'Map of Mountains and Seas' points to Nalingele Canyon," Hua Jiqiu sat in the back seat, holding his glasses and lowering his head to study the map of mountains and seas. "The valley of death, the gate of hell, They are all just added by modern people for the sake of gimmicks, wouldn’t the pre-Qin and even the ancients in the time of Dayu also have such sayings?”

"Although there is no such statement," Shao Ling said, "but its geographical location is enough to prove that the location pointed to by this map is not wrong. The Lengele Canyon starts from Brentai in the east and ends at Sand Mountain in the west. There is the main ridge of Kunlun in the south, and Qilian Snow Mountain in the north, which is located in the Kunlun Mountains, and the ancient Kunlun recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" has been verified by some scholars, and it is believed to be in the present Kunlun Mountains."

Hua Jiqiu hesitantly let out a soft "hiss...", raised his eyes, and looked at Shao Ling from above his glasses: "There has always been great controversy about the location of the ancient Kunlun. Some people say it is located in the Taihang Mountains. , Some say it is located in the Qinling Mountains, some say it was Mount Tai in the pre-Qin period, of course, today's Kunlun Mountains is also one of the most powerful candidates.

"However, what we are going to is not a mountain, but a valley. If it is a mountain, it will be easier to explain. The legendary ancient Kunlun is the central pole of the world. ...

"I'm really worried. Based on the clues and speculations you've summarized, I can't help but have a not-so-optimistic thought: If Kunlun Mountain can reach the heavens and ascend to immortals, then wouldn't the valley below Kunlun Mountain...be able to reach the earth? Ghost smell?"

"...Uncle Hua, don't scare me. We are on the highway, and it is easy to cause accidents if you are frightened..." Luo Kuo, who was driving, freed up a hand to rub the arm of the hand that was holding the steering wheel.

Shao Ling was always calm: "We have already known this kind of speculation in our hearts. It doesn't matter whether we are optimistic or not. It's a disaster."

Hua Jiqiu sighed softly and didn't say any more.

The four ladies in the other car did not talk about the life and death situation they were about to face at all. Fang Fei was driving, Yue Cen was sitting in the passenger seat and was knitting a taro purple woolen scarf, Wu You and Gu Qingqing were behind. All kinds of snacks were spread out in a row, and they didn't stop talking all the way.

"Anyway, I don't know whether it's life or death, so I'm going to lose a lot of fat." Wu You ate the junk food that he usually likes but dare not eat. "If you are lucky enough to survive, it won't be too late to lose weight."

"With so much puffed food, you don't mind taking up space..." Gu Qingqing looked at the huge bag of potato chips in the middle of the seat dumbfounded.

"What are you afraid of, can't four cars hold these things?" Wu You pointed back to the trunk, "I'll tell you the truth, I even brought the guy who cooks the pot. The sheep are running all over the place, and when the time comes, we will kill them immediately and rinse them fresh."

One sentence made the other three people laugh, Gu Qingqing said: "There are many protected animals that are prohibited from hunting over there, and they cannot be killed or hurt indiscriminately, but we should be able to buy some fresh meat from the locals."

"If you want to kill now, who will use the knife?" Fang Fei asked Wu You seriously.

Wu You hurriedly pointed to the car driving in front: "This kind of thing must be handed over to classmate Ke Xun. Classmate Ke Xun has always been not afraid of hardships and tiredness, and he can drop ten times with one effort."

Ke Xun, who can drop ten times at a time, is lying on the back seat of the car in front and rubbing his waist: "When we get to the place, go eat a meal of lamb scorpions and twenty skewers of roasted lamb kidneys, maybe I have to pay for it." Add another donkey whip, blah blah."

Blame me?Mr. Mu, who is good at driving, thought to himself, who made you...always "running".

The convoy took a short rest in the service area, then changed the driver and continued on the road.

It was already evening when they arrived in Golmud, everyone rested overnight, and went out early the next morning to buy water and replenish equipment, and then rushed to the Kunlun Mountains where thousands of miles of ice and snow drifted.

The weather is quite gloomy, the bone-piercing wind blows dry grass and gravel and keeps hitting the window glass. It is still daytime, but the sky is as dark as six or seven o'clock in the afternoon. The lights of the four cars are in this vast expanse. Among the distant mountains, it seems smaller and more fragile than a spark.

Gu Qingqing had a slight altitude sickness, but fortunately, Qin Ci prepared anti-altitude drugs for emergency treatment. She was wrapped in a thick blanket and lay on the back seat, holding an oxygen cylinder in her hand.

"How are you?" Mu Yiran asked Ke Xun in another car.

Ke Xun once suffered from hyperventilation and oxygen poisoning on the plateau in the painting "Faith", and Mu Yiran would look at his face sitting in the back row from the rearview mirror every once in a while.

"It's okay so far, don't worry." Ke Xun held the thermos cup and drank a few mouthfuls of hot water soaked with ginseng slices. "When you mentioned "Faith", I suddenly realized that this is also a hint? A hint? The final destination for us to solve the incident is the Xiyuan area, as well as... offerings and things like that."

"Stop scaring me." Wei Dong, who was also sitting in the back row, shivered and wrapped the blanket tightly around his body.

"You don't need to worry about this for the time being," Zhu Haowen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked at the silent mountains outside the window, "Anyway, we will soon reach our destination, and we may have all the answers there. "

Ke Xun and Wei Dong stopped talking, and each looked out of the next window.

The coming night, I don't know if it will be the last night in the lives of these people.

When fine snow and sand began to fall from the sky, the convoy stopped at the entrance of the Lengele Canyon.

"Why did you stop?" Shao Ling's voice came from the intercom in every car.

The walkie-talkie is provided by Luo Yan, which is convenient for each vehicle to contact at any time and act in unison.

"Get ready before entering." Mu Yi said suddenly, opened the door and jumped out of the car.

Everyone got out of the car one after another, shivering repeatedly from the oncoming cold, shrinking their bodies and stomping their feet, and gathered around the car that Mu Yiran was driving.

Mu Yiran opened the trunk, revealing those large black rectangular boxes with locks that had been placed there and had never been touched.

He took out one of them, put it flat on the cold and hard ground, opened the combination lock, and lifted the lid of the box. What appeared in the eyes of everyone was suddenly a row of black and cold guns.

"Ah—" Wu You and Gu Qingqing exclaimed.

"Damn it—" Ke Xunwei, Dong Luo, and Li Xiaochun exclaimed.

Qin Ci swore that he would definitely hear Shao Ling who was standing next to him also groan.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You're so awesome! You're so awesome!" Luo Yu was so excited that he almost threw himself on the dangerous box and kissed the gun, "This can be done?! How do you live? Is this an MP5? This is an MP5! Is this next to it a P90? Is it a P90! Ahhh! Can I touch it? Just touch it with my index finger! Brother-in-law, can you? Can you can?"

Everyone: "..."

"Son, you're so excited," Wei Dong swallowed while staring at the box of guns, "Boss, can I lick the barrel? Just one."

Everyone: "..."

"Xiaomu, these guns... I'm afraid it's against the law...but... well...be careful..." Curator Honest Renhua experienced ideological transformation and self-sublimation in the length of a short sentence, and finally After subconsciously looking left and right to see if there are outsiders peeping from a distance, they silently became the same breed.

"Whether it will be useful or not, I have no way of knowing, but we are prepared." Mu Yiran always looked calm and natural, and bent down to pick up a handful of MP5, his movements looked very skillful.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this person was really a big boss who lived up to his name.

"MP5, 800 rounds per minute. However, it is heavier and has a greater recoil. It is difficult for women and men with little strength to control. Choose carefully." Mu Yiran reminded everyone calmly.

Everyone: ...we don't dare to choose any one at all, okay?

Luo Wei: "I use it, I use it! I use it, I use it! Me, me, me!"

Everyone:……

"The P90 is relatively light and has slightly less recoil, so it is suitable for women." Mu Yiran pointed to another submachine gun in the box and said to the four female members.

Gu Qingqing shook her head desperately, Wu You tried her best to open her eyes, but Fang Fei bent down and picked up the P90, holding it in her hand and gestured a few times: "I don't know how to use it, I need someone to teach me."

Luo Wei: "Sister, I will teach you! I will teach you! Me, me, me!"

Wei Dong: "...Have you ever used radishes? If you haven't used them, don't teach them nonsense. Your sister Fei is fierce. If you teach her wrongly, she might destroy the earth directly."

Fang Fei hit him on the shoulder with the butt of the gun.

"I'll just use that 92F." Yue Cen pointed to a pistol in the box, and he seemed to be someone who knew about it.

The rest were pistols. Everyone took one, but Gu Qingqing didn't dare to use it. He took one for courage, and didn't even load it with bullets.

Mu Yiran told everyone how to use guns, and finally said: "If you still need to put them into the painting this time, these guns will probably become scrap copper and rotten iron. Even if you are lucky enough to not affect their use, it is best not to use them lightly. So as not to accidentally injure teammates. These guns are only for self-protection in the most critical or unavoidable times, so everyone must be extremely cautious."

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

"Then we are going to enter the canyon now," Mu Yiran looked at everyone, "Now rearrange the members of each car. We will drive in three cars and leave one car here. The car key is pressed on the rock under the car under.

"Driver: I, Shao Ling, Luo Yu; there must be a backup driver in each car; the four ladies should not gather in the same car; Director Hua, Sister Cen and Li Xiaochun, you three newcomers should not be in the same car. in the car.

"Next, adjust the equipment carried by each vehicle: water, tents, medicines, and clothing, all divided into four parts, each car must have. The other box I brought is flares, which are also divided into four parts , and if we accidentally get lost, we fire flares into the sky to mark our coordinates.

"In addition, field tools such as compass and GPS locator are provided by each person, and they are packed in a carry-on backpack. After getting on the car, they are all carried on the body or at hand. At least one pack of compressed food and a bottle of water should be carried in the bag. , Lighters, flashlights, combination knives, ropes, alcohol, gauze, antibiotic tablets, all must be available.

"If we are separated or even singled out due to accidents, when we lose our direction, don't wander around. If it is safe, stay where you are. Collect as much animal feces and hay as possible, pile them up and ignite them. The smoke will also mark you. coordinate.

"If you get lost, I, Ke Xun, Shao Ling, Haowen, and Lao Qin are responsible for finding someone, and the rest will stay at their own coordinates. If we don't find you within three days, we can act independently, or continue to investigate the incident. Or leave the canyon, you can decide for yourself. The car left outside the valley has water, emergency supplies and satellite phones, so you can ask for help from the outside world and save yourself.

"Let's talk about this for the time being. If you still need instructions and suggestions after getting on the bus, use the walkie-talkie to communicate at any time. After getting on the bus, please keep the walkie-talkie connected. My car is at the front, Luo Yu is in the middle, and Shaoling Palace is behind. Keep a distance. Don't be too close or too far. Once you feel that you are falling behind, contact other vehicles immediately.

"Is there anything else you want to add?"

"No more!" Everyone responded in unison.

A sense of tension that oppressed the nerves suddenly rushed from all directions, and Gu Qingqing couldn't help taking a few more breaths of oxygen from the oxygen tank.

"Let's do it." Mu Yiran said.
