Chapter 612 The two days he disappeared, Marshal Wangs secret!
"A gang? What kind of gang?"
After hearing the news provided by Liu Quan, Su Moden suddenly became energetic.
His intuition told him that this group of people was most likely Marshal Wang and his party who set out from the depression.
But in terms of time, there is more than a slight difference in the middle, which is a bit abnormal.
"Forehead"
"Well, let me think about this carefully!"
After scratching his head, Liu Can simply sat on the ground and began to recall and babble:
"The night this group of people came, we didn't see them at the entrance of the territory, but someone outside came back while working to tell us that a group of people wanted to visit the territory."
“Their attitude was very good and they even gave me a bag of beef jerky as a meeting gift.”
"At that time, I was still thinking about seeing if I could use the extra firewood in the territory these days to exchange for some food and drink, but my brother Liu Yai was more cautious and finally rejected their request."
"I can't help it. I didn't really see this group of people until they left, but based on the descriptions of the few people who came up."
"The leader seems to be surnamed Wang? He is wearing a bearskin and has a gun on his back. Several of the people following him also have guns. It looks like they are not like people from the mountains!"
Having never seen a real person, Liu Quan could only slowly recall the description of the visitor by the hard worker at that time.
From the initial meeting, to the psychological changes of the two brothers, to the cautious farewell.
When he heard the leader's surname was Queen, Sumo turned his head and looked at Feng Tianmin next to him.
"Marshal Wang was wearing a bearskin when he left?"
Feng Tianmin thought for a while and shook his head secretly: "No, I remember clearly that when he first came to our territory, the clothes he wore were ordinary linen chemical fiber, with an emoticon of a child laughing printed on the front, right?
, there was also a small hole hanging on the back of his pants from a tree branch, allowing air to leak inside."
"Before departure, we thought he was pitiful, so we gave him new clothes from a lucky bag. These clothes are not bearskin either."
"We haven't seen any wild animals like bears along the way, and even if the team did hunt down a bear,"
"The troublesome tasks of skinning, drying, tanning, cutting, and sewing would take at least ten days or even a month to complete. There is no possibility that they would change their costumes while hunting bears."
The reasons given by Feng Tianmin are very sufficient and no one can be unconvinced.
The entire logical chain has been inferred up to this point and seems to have fallen into an infinite loop.
Until there is more sufficient evidence, no one can be sure that this group of people is Marshal Wang and others who set off from the depression.
"Why don't we go back and find that person again and ask him about it?"
Realizing the importance of this matter, Liu Yai, who was sitting on the ground scratching his head, put forward a constructive suggestion.
If others don't know what this man named Wang looks like, the hard worker who has met him face to face must know.
Instead of guessing here, it is better to spend a little time on the road and go back to verify it, so that you can at least feel at ease.
"That's okay. We've already walked this road. It won't be difficult to go back."
"In this way, the four of us, Tianmin, Liu Yai, and your brother, will go back, and the others will continue to stay here."
"After all, these mummies are reported by us humans. It's not a big deal if they are placed in this barren mountain. You can ask Feng Long to lead people to dig a hole in the snow and bury everyone."
"We will take the valuable materials in the cave with us. Some of the materials that are still useful for food will be packed up and put away for the time being. When we come back from the mountains, we will bring them back together."
"By the way, ask someone to check the area carefully to see if there are any other clues."
After some thought, Su Mo immediately accepted Liu Can's suggestion.
After all, the purpose of everyone going into the mountain is to see if they can bring back a group of people from the origin territory to expand the population of the territory and develop rapidly.
The second is to see who this group of mysterious people are and observe their strength and ambition.
Among them, the team that visited two nights before the disaster was particularly important and must be questioned carefully.
Waiting for Feng Tianmin to pass over and convey the order, the large team stopped and began to briefly station themselves at the entrance of the murderer's territory.
The four Somo soldiers went into battle lightly and quickly followed the path they came from, quickly returning to Donghou Mountain and the cliff territory.
It took over three hours to arrive.
Going back was easy. It only took 20 minutes to get down to Dawang Mountain first.
It won't be difficult to climb the mountain.
Just after eleven o'clock in the morning, the entrance to the cliff territory was already within easy reach!
"Hey, Director, why are you back!"
Seeing Somo leaving and returning, the soldiers on duty looked alert and did not relax their guard immediately.
For Chinese people, the real and fake stories of the Monkey King are all familiar.
In this wasteland, there is no guarantee that someone will follow suit.
"The team is already stationed on Dawang Mountain. I'll come back to find someone to ask for news. It's nothing serious."
After flashing the docking token, the guard on duty breathed a sigh of relief after the verification passed.
On the other side, Liu Yai and Liu Quan moved faster.
Relying on the remaining power left in the territory, the two of them turned left and right, and found the hard worker who had previously delivered the message in the crowd.
This person is a man.
He is thin, dark-skinned, and short, and he looks unremarkable at all. He is one of those embarrassing people who can disappear in a second.
However, fortunately, he had a good memory. When Liu Yai called him out to the corner, it only took him a few seconds to recall what happened that night.
"It was a little dark, and they had torches and guns in their hands. Because I was afraid that they would fight if they disagreed, I didn't dare to look too closely at the faces of this group of people. I kept my head down the whole time."
"There are nine people in front and behind. The leader is wearing a bearskin, and there is a stinking smell on his body, and there is also a slight smell of blood."
"They looked very tired, as if they hadn't slept for two or three days, especially the one named Wang. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, which made my eardrums hurt."
"What do you want to exchange? Let me think about it?"
"Yes, they want to exchange for some clean clothes, some hot water and a wooden bucket for a good bath, and also want to have a hot meal. It would be best if they can sleep for a night."
After speaking the original words, the skinny man shook his head, indicating that he had finished explaining all the details.
It's dark, you're on guard, and the opponent is powerful. It's not easy to have such observation and memory.
Judging from the current information, it is not comparable to Marshal Wang's team.
After all, in terms of number of people alone, there is a gap of six people.
Thought for a while.
Feng Tianmin stepped forward tentatively: "Do you still have an impression of their shoes?"
"shoe?"
Feng Tianmin nodded and pointed to the hiking boots on his feet: "Do you think they look like mine?"
Lowering his head suddenly, the man looked at it for a while and said uncertainly: "This is really similar. Wait a minute. There was actually someone staying in the grass that night. He didn't come out. I'm going to call you right now.
Come here, he will definitely be able to see the shoes clearly!"
Leaving quickly, the hard worker returned to the crowd, lowered his head and whispered a few words to one person.
From a distance, Sumo, who had not spoken a word, felt his heart sink suddenly after seeing the man nodding his head firmly.
"It's this pair of shoes. The workmanship is almost exactly the same, I'm sure of it!"
The exact news is almost final.
Go out to fight, whether in ancient times or modern times.
To disguise, the number of people can be small, and the clothes on the body can be changed, but it is difficult to find replacements for shoes.
The reason is simple.
Everyone's foot shape actually has some subtle differences. With the same size, some people's feet will be scratched when they wear it, while others will be comfortable.
If you put on a pair of temporarily found shoes in order to disguise yourself, let alone trekking over mountains and ridges for a long time, even if it is a flat road, every step will be like a needle prick and it will be unbearable pain.
In addition, these first batch of handmade shoes produced in the territory are almost all fine-tuned according to everyone's foot shape. It is even harder to be more comfortable than this!
"Marshal Wang did not follow the route we designated. He took his people to another route, which not only delayed us for two days, but also cost six of our brothers!"
"There must be secrets in this person, secrets that we haven't discovered yet!"
"This group of mysterious people is offering a reward for his wife and daughter to show up. It's definitely not as simple as it seems. We have been deceived!"
As soon as he got the news about Shi Chui, Feng Tianmin couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of anger.
It was the decision of Lord Sumo to let Marshal Wang lead his people to explore the road in the center of the mountains.
Marshal Wang and the group of people he led were personally trained and selected by Li Hu, Feng Tianmin and others.
In terms of strength, everyone is the elite among the elite.
In terms of loyalty, even if it means sacrificing oneself for the territory.
Follow the rules you set before leaving.
If Marshal Wang wants to change his route, or if there is any change, these people accompanying him must send news back to the territory for confirmation as soon as possible.
But this is the current situation.
Obviously, something unexpected happened!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. A feeling of being "betrayed" suddenly came to Feng Tianmin's heart.
"Tianmin, don't be impatient for now. Maybe there is some information that we don't know."
"This staggered time alone is not enough to prove that Marshal Wang betrayed us."
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Sumo felt calm in his heart.
Marshal Wang's departure time was the sixth day before the disaster struck.
Using the map he had sketched and the route he had drawn, he calculated the distance traveled by everyone.
The time for the team to arrive at Dongshou Mountain should be the afternoon of the fifth day at the earliest and the morning of the third day at the latest.
If it exceeds this scale, it is enough to indicate that the team encountered something and was delayed during the march.
"If the time they arrived at Donghou Mountain is calculated based on two days before the disaster, it means that they were delayed for a day and a half because of something on the road."
“a day and a half”
Marshal Wang is eloquent, but Liu Peiqiang who follows him is also loyal to the territory.
If it takes such a long time, Liu Peiqiang will never sit idly by.
unless
"Marshal Wang already knew that telegrams in the mountains could not be sent?"
"Or did he convince everyone with some irresistible reasons?"
Probably too many.
There was no further news, and even Sumo was not sure what the situation was.
However, one thing is certain.
Marshal Wang is by no means as simple as he appears.
This is a fox, an old fox who can tell lies to anyone!
Even on the top of Iron Rock Mountain, I'm afraid what he said was full of truth and lies, and he concealed some important information!
"Looks like it, it's a good thing you didn't let Marshal Wang and his gang come in, otherwise it might not be them that have become mummies now, but you guys."
"I have a hunch that the situation inside the mountain may not be as peaceful as we imagined."
"You have to leave quickly, otherwise things will change if you wait too long!"
Because of the utmost caution.
The two Liu brothers avoided a fatal disaster on their cliff territory.
However, the murderer's territory did not know whether he had the idea of taking advantage of others or the generosity of making friends, so he took in Marshal Wang and his party, but in the end they were brutally murdered.
If nothing else happens, just follow the road leading to Marshal Wang.
Use the territory along the way as a guide and ask questions along the way, and you may have a chance to catch up!
"Walk!"
It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
After learning that they had had a brush with a fatal disaster, Liu Yai and Liu Quan were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hearts beat wildly.
At this time, when they saw Somo's figure, the two of them seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly followed him, for fear of falling behind.
The stay lasted only five minutes. After walking back and forth this time, I went back faster.
1:17 p.m.
In the wind and snow, the four of them ran back to the murderer's territory.
After two or three hours of work, and with the efforts of the soldiers, all the mummies were buried under the snow.
The scattered supplies in the cave were also put away in categories, wrapped in moisture-proof cloth, and then brought back to the territory when the team returned.
To this group of strangers who have never met before.
In the center of the burial site, Somo took the wooden sign with his own hands, wrote and drew a brief description, and then put a simple tombstone on the unknown tomb.
"Oh, human beings are born small and die small."
"In this barren mountain, in the ice and snow, I don't know how long it will be before anyone knows that such a tragedy has happened here!"
Stick the wooden sign firmly into the snow.
Return to the temporary camp and have lunch.
One last look at the blocked hole in the murderer's territory, and with some emotion, the team set off on the road again.
Compared to before, everyone was faster this time, and the direction of the traveling wind was clearer.
The destination is exactly the gathering place of strange humans that we had previously planned to avoid.
"The nearest camp is on the third mountain of Bapan Mountain?"
"There are more than five hundred people?"
"Very good, we have to get there tonight no matter what, to find out exactly which direction Marshal Wang has gone!"
Passing over the first Dawang Mountain in the Bapan Mountains, the second mountain is Erlang Mountain, and the third mountain is Sanyuan Mountain.
Both are far more dangerous than the Shishan and Donghou Mountains we climbed before.
Keep your spirits up.
There is a map route for the adventurous mechanic to return, and there is manual navigation by the two Liu brothers.
As the murderer's territory was left behind, everyone's various thoughts gradually came back and focused on the ice beneath their feet.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
The team completely crossed Dawang Mountain and arrived at the foot of Erlang Mountain.
7pm.
On the mountainside of Erlang Mountain, the team took a short break and continued to climb up in the wind and snow.
Eleven o'clock in the evening.
Climb to the top of Erlang Mountain.
Looking at the extremely obvious smoke and fire on the hillside of Sanyuan Mountain, Sumo stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
