Chapter 612: Two Days of Disappearance, the Secret of Marshal Wang!

"A group of people? What kind of group of people?"

After hearing the news provided by Liu Zi, Su Mo suddenly became alert.

His intuition told him that this group of people was most likely Marshal Wang's group who set out from the depression.

But in terms of time, there was a big difference between them, which was a bit abnormal.

"Uh"

"Well, let me think about it!"

Scratching his head, Liu Zi simply sat on the ground and began to recall while rambling:

"The night this group of people came, we didn't see them at the entrance of the territory cave, but someone came back from work outside to tell us that a group of people were going to visit the territory"

"Their attitude was very good, and they even sent a bag of beef jerky as a gift"

"At that time, I was thinking about whether I could use the extra firewood in the territory these days to exchange for some food and drink, but my brother Liu Ya was more cautious and finally rejected their request"

"There is no way, I didn't really see this group of people until they left, but according to the description of the few people who came up"

"The leader seems to be surnamed Wang? He wore a bear skin and had a gun on his back. The few people following him also had guns. It seems that his strength doesn't look like someone from the mountains!"

Having never seen the real person, Liu Zi could only slowly recall the description of the visitors by the laborers at that time.

From the initial negotiation between the two sides, to the psychological changes of the two brothers in the middle, and then to the cautious farewell.

When Su Mo heard that the leader's surname was Wang, he turned his head and looked at Feng Tianmin next to him.

"Was Marshal Wang wearing bear skin when he left?"

Feng Tianmin thought about it 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. By the way, there was a small hole in the back of his pants hung by a tree branch, leaking air inside"

"Before we set off, we felt sorry for him, so we gave him a new set of clothes from the lucky bag, and this clothes is not bear skin"

"We haven't seen wild animals like bears along the way, and even if the team really killed a bear"

"Skinning, drying, nitration, cutting, sewing, these troublesome things will take at least ten days or even a month to complete. There is no possibility that they change clothes when hunting bears"

The reasons given by Feng Tianmin are very sufficient, and people can't help but be convinced.

The entire logic chain seems to have fallen into a dead loop when it is deduced here.

Without more sufficient evidence, no one can be sure that this group of people is Marshal Wang and others who set out from the depression.

"Why don't we go back and find that person and ask him?"

Realizing the importance of this matter, Liu Ya, who was sitting on the ground scratching his head, put forward a constructive suggestion.

If others don't know what this Wang looks like, the hard laborer who has seen 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, at least you can ask for peace of mind.

"Okay, we have already walked this road once, and it is not difficult to go back."

"Then, I, Tianmin, Liu Ya, and your brother, the four of us will go back, and the others will continue to stay here."

"After all, these mummies are our human reports, and it is not a big deal to leave them in this wilderness. You ask Feng Long to lead people to dig a pit in the snow and bury everyone."

"We will take the valuable materials in the cave with us, and pack up some food and useful things for the time being and put them aside. When we come back from the mountains, we will bring them back together."

"By the way, ask someone to check the surrounding area carefully to see if there are any other clues."

After a little thought, Su Mo immediately adopted Liu Zi's proposal.

After all, the purpose of everyone going into the mountains is to try whether they can bring back a group of people from the origin territory, expand the population of the territory, and develop rapidly.

The second is to see who this group of mysterious people is and observe their strength and ambition.

Among them, the team that visited two nights before the disaster is particularly important and must be questioned.

After waiting for Feng Tianmin to pass on the order, the large team stopped and began to simply camp at the entrance of the cave of the fierce man's territory.

Su Mo and his four companions were lightly equipped and quickly went down the way they came, quickly returning to Donglong Mountain and the cliff territory.

It took more than three hours to get here.

It was easy to go back. It only took 20 minutes to get down Dawang Mountain first.

It was not difficult to climb the mountain.

Just after 11 o'clock in the morning, the entrance of the cliff territory was within reach!

"Hey, Chief, why are you back!"

Seeing Su Mo coming back, the soldier on duty was alert and did not relax his guard immediately.

For the Chinese, the story of the true and false Monkey King is not unfamiliar.

In this wasteland, it is possible that someone will imitate it.

"The team is already stationed on Dawang Mountain. I came back to ask someone for news. It's nothing serious."

After flashing the docking token, the soldier on duty breathed a sigh of relief after the verification was passed.

On the other side, Liu Ya and Liu Zi were even faster.

Relying on the remaining influence they had left in the territory, the two turned left and right and found the laborer who had delivered the message in the crowd.

This man was a man.

He was thin, dark-skinned, short and inconspicuous, the kind who could disappear in the next second in the crowd.

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 the group. I kept my head down the whole time."

"There are nine people in total, and the leader is wearing a bearskin. 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, the guard is high, 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 numbers alone, there is a gap of six people.

Thinking 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, Su Mo, who had not spoken since he saw the man nodding his head firmly, felt his heart sink suddenly.

"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. Some people's feet will be scratched when wearing the same size, while others will be comfortable.

If you put on a pair of temporarily found shoes for the sake of disguise, 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, which is 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. Not only did it delay us for two days, but it also cost six of us brothers!"

"There must be secrets about 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.

Clearly something unexpected happened!

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.

Based on 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 Donghou 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."

"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 reason that was hard to refuse?"

Probably too many.

There was no further news, and even Sumo was not sure which situation it 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!

"It seems that you were lucky that you didn't let Marshal Wang and his group in, otherwise it would not be them who turned into mummies now, but you guys"

"I have a feeling that the situation in the mountain is not as peaceful as we imagined"

"We have to leave quickly, or things will change if we delay!"

Because of extreme caution.

The cliff territory of the Liu brothers avoided a fatal disaster.

But the murderer's territory, I don't know whether it was with the idea of ​​robbing the robbing or the righteousness of making friends, took in Marshal Wang and his group, and finally suffered a murderous hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, just follow Marshal Wang's path.

Using the territories along the way as a vane, asking along the way, maybe there is a chance to catch up!

"Let's go!"

Come and go in a hurry.

After learning that they had brushed shoulders with a fatal disaster, Liu Ya and Liu Zi were also scared and their faces turned pale, and their hearts were pounding.

At this time, seeing Su Mo's figure, the two of them were like grabbing a life-saving straw, and they hurriedly followed, fearing that they would be left behind.

The total stay time was only five minutes. After walking back and forth this time, they returned faster.

At 1:17 pm.

In the wind and snow, the four people rushed back to the murderer's territory again.

After two or three hours of busy work, with the efforts of the soldiers, all the mummies were buried under the snow.

The scattered supplies in the cave were also sorted and put away, wrapped in moisture-proof cloth and brought back to the territory when the team returned.

For this group of strangers who had never met before.

In the center of the burial site, Su Mo personally took the wooden sign, wrote and drew, engraved a brief description, and marked this nameless tomb with a simple tombstone.

"Oh, humans are really insignificant when they are born and insignificant when they die"

"In this desolate mountain, in the ice and snow, I don't know how long it will take for the second person to know that such a tragedy has happened here!"

The wooden sign was inserted into the snow.

Return to the temporary camp to finish lunch.

Finally, I took a look at the blocked hole in the territory of the murderer, and with some emotion, the team set off again.

Compared to the previous time, everyone was faster this time, and the wind direction was clearer.

The destination was exactly the gathering place of those strange humans that had been planned to avoid.

"The nearest camp is on the third mountain of Bapian Mountain?"

"There are more than 500 people?"

"Very good, we have to get there tonight anyway to find out which direction Marshal Wang went!"

After crossing the first Dawang Mountain in Bapian Mountain, the second mountain is Erlang Mountain, and the third mountain is Sanyuan Mountain.

The danger level of both is far greater than the previous climb of the first mountain, Donglong Mountain.

Be alert.

With the map route of the adventure mechanics returning, and the dedicated manual navigation of the two Liu brothers.

As the territory of the evil man was left behind, everyone's different thoughts gradually withdrew and focused on the ice under their feet.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The team completely crossed Dawang Mountain and came to the foot of Erlang Mountain.

Seven o'clock in the afternoon.

At the mountainside of Erlang Mountain, the team took a short rest and continued to climb up in the wind and snow.

Eleven o'clock in the evening.

Erlang Mountain reached the top.

Looking at the extremely obvious smoke and fire on the mountainside of Sanyuan Mountain, Su Mo stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
