Chapter 57: Going to Kunlun Glacier, the weird blue ladybug
As soon as Ji Yi and Fatty walked to the door of Shirley Yang's private room, they heard Lao Hu yelling angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to change the route?!"
"We have been discussing it."
"No need to discuss, I won't go!"
"Wow!"
Before Lin Yi and the two could get closer, the door to the room was opened, and Lao Hu walked out with a black line on his face.
"What's wrong?" Fatty asked, looking at the angry Old Hu with a confused look on his face.
Lao Hu ignored him, walked straight to the connection between the carriages, took out a cigarette, and started smoking it.
"Old Lin, look at this..." The fat man was a little depressed. This was the first time he saw Lao Hu's attitude.
"Don't hear what Professor Chen said in the room. We need to change the route." Lin Yi said calmly.
"Just change the route. If they pay you, it's over." The fat man replied disapprovingly.
Ji Yi shook his head and said, "This matter is not simple. Go up and ask Lao Hu what's going on."
He knew the plot, so of course he knew what was going on.
Because Professor Chen and his party decided to change their route to Kunlun Glacier!
The Kunlun Glacier once became Lao Hu’s nightmare and a lingering inner demon.
at the same time.
The system's voice sounded in Ji Yi's mind.
"Ding, the second check-in location has been refreshed. It is inside the nine-story demon building. Reward: 10,000 tomb robbing points."
Good guy.
Just as the diversion was mentioned, the second check-in location was triggered, and we had to check in at the nine-story demon building.
The reward is also very straightforward, no messy stuff, 10,000 tomb robbing points!
The two of them followed, and the fat man asked strangely, "Old Hu, what's going on? You should tell us."
Lao Hu glanced at Ji Yi and Fatty, pursed his lips, lowered his head gloomily, and said, "Professor Chen said we need to change the route and let us follow them to the Kunlun Glacier first."
The fat man responded and said, "Kunlun Glacier? How cold is that place with ice and snow? What did you say?"
Lao Hu replied directly, "I won't go."
"o((⊙﹏⊙))o" The fat man's eyes were rolling around. He didn't understand Lao Hu's experience, but he wouldn't go if he didn't want to go. Forty thousand dollars per person would be gone.
Immediately, the fat man said with a playful smile, "Old Hu, actually I think it doesn't matter. Let's go to one more place and let them pay more. We can't work in vain."
"I said I won't go!" Lao Hu's voice became louder, and he glared at the fat man and yelled angrily.
This roar stunned the fat man.
Do you want to say it nicely? Why are you so loud all of a sudden?
Lin Yi saw this and asked, "Lao Hu, do you know something? Or, what dangers are there in Kunlun Glacier..."
Lao Hu winced hard and nodded heavily, "Old Lin is right. I served as a soldier there and I know how dangerous it is..."
Later, Lao Hu recounted his past experiences.
In the 1970s, old Hu had just joined the army and was still a small squad leader.
The army sent them to perform tasks at the Kunlun Pass on the plateau, and the entire division was reorganized into an engineering unit.
A lot of strange things happened at that time, many of which Lao Hu still dare not think about now, because there is still no way to explain those things.
What impressed him most was when he and his comrade Xiao Luan were transporting supplies. Halfway through the supply truck, a blue ladybug hit the glass, causing the emergency brake to malfunction.
Xiao Luan felt curious and put the blue ladybugs into a glass jar, while Lao Hu walked to the military station to ask for help.
When he returned, Xiao Luan was nowhere to be seen. Not far from the supply truck, all he could see was melted snow, white ashes, and an opened jar that once contained blue ladybugs.
Obviously, Xiao Luan was burned alive, which may have something to do with the blue ladybug!
The point is, this is nothing. Later, Lao Hu met the blue ladybug again, and he saw with his own eyes the process of a living person being burned!
"Lao Hu, I've heard of the blue ladybug you mentioned before..."
After Lao Hu finished speaking, Ji Yi spoke slowly.
What?
Lao Hu looked at Ji Yi in disbelief. They had conducted many investigations and found no clues about that kind of ladybug!
Lao Lin has actually heard of it?
"What...is it?" Lao Hu asked excitedly.
"It's called the fire ladybug. This kind of thing is an unsolved mystery and a legend. According to legend, the fire ladybug is a combination of the phosphorus fire emitted by the corpse and the rotten firefly. As long as a person comes into contact with it, it will never be extinguished.
It was instantly burned to ashes. This kind of ladybug can only be found in the records of explorers and archaeologists around the world."
"Fire ladybug..." Old Hu muttered to himself.
"It turns out that Mr. Lin also knows about things like fire ladybugs."
At this moment, Shirley Yang's voice sounded nearby.
She looked at Ji Yi in surprise, feeling more and more that it was not simple.
Ghost cave text, fire ladybug, this is not something ordinary people can know.
Even she had to understand it after a long period of investigation, spending a lot of energy and time.
"I know more or less." Lin Yi nodded and replied.
He knew more about fire ladybugs than that.
"You three, can you come to my place? Let's have a good talk." Shirley Yang said with an indifferent expression.
After saying that, she turned around and returned to her room.
Ji Yi and the others followed, and Shirley Yang showed Lao Hu a photo of a fire ladybug, asking him to identify whether the blue ladybug he saw was a fire ladybug.
The blue ladybug is so scary that Lao Hu still can’t forget it. After seeing the photo, scenes from the past reappeared in his mind!
After a long silence, Lao Hu calmed down, confirmed and seriously, and replied solemnly, "Yes."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Professor Chen and Shirley Yang were both shocked.
Originally, they always thought that the fire ladybug was a legend, but they didn't expect that Lao Hu had actually seen it!
Professor Chen looked a little moved and asked Lao Hu to recount what happened that year.
Back then, a class of soldiers of theirs were on a mission, but an accident occurred midway. A soldier named Zhou lost his footing and fell into the glacier. Then when they went to rescue Xiao Zhou, they encountered fire ladybugs, and several soldiers were burned alive by fire ladybugs in front of their eyes.
, and because they fired, they triggered an avalanche and buried everyone.
When Lao Hu woke up, he was already lying in the hospital unable to move, and all the other soldiers in the squad were dead.
Lao Hu asked solemnly, "I don't understand, aren't we looking for the ancient city of Jingjue? Why did we suddenly change our route to Kunlun Glacier?"
After listening, Professor Chen sighed and said slowly, "Comrade Xiao Hu, don't blame yourself. I saw in an internal document that the avalanche that year was caused by a low-level address. Later,
It was also confirmed by the National Geological Bureau. This earthquake also opened a crack at the eastern foot of the Kunlun Glacier."
"Then does this have anything to do with our search for Jingjue Ancient City?" Lao Hu asked, holding back his anger.
Professor Chen slowly explained the reason.
The Sino-foreign joint expedition team that Professor Chen's good friend belonged to took Mr. Walter's diary from this century to the ancient city of Jingjue. For some reason, it suddenly changed its route and headed for the Kunlun Glacier. Then it disappeared. No one was there.
After returning, the last distress signal was sent from the large crack at the east foot of Kunlun Glacier.
This notebook records in detail how Mr. Walter found the ancient city of Jingjue step by step. It is of great help in searching for the ancient city of Jingjue in the vast desert!
The leader of the expedition team that year was Shirley Yang's father.
