The muscles on Guan Wentu's face twitched slightly, and the pupils behind his spectacles suddenly grew larger and smaller.
Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with Lao Zhou's reaction just now.
None of this escaped the eyes of Lin Yi and the others.
However, he quickly adjusted.
"There is a dangerous situation here, please stop watching!"
Only then did the people who came to watch react from the astonished atmosphere and fled in all directions. Some even vomited on the spot.
"How could this happen? Where did these two people come from? Do you know him?"
Yao Yiyan faced Lao Zhou and their accomplices and asked them sternly.
Bai Lu pulled her over.
Lao Zhou turned his head and looked at her with a fierce look. Bai Lu quickly pulled her over with quick eyes and hands.
"Hey, why are you pulling me?"
As an expert in paleoanthropology, I basically deal with all kinds of human remains on a daily basis.
So she seemed extra calm.
"Why are you pulling me? Didn't you see this dead man? I have to ask clearly."
"Don't ask, it's not easy."
As soon as Lin Yi said these words, Yao Yiyan was stunned.
With her fiery temper, whenever Lin Yi told her their previous guesses, she would immediately grab Guan Wentu's collar and question him face to face.
"not simple?"
She was just about to ask questions when Guan Wentu started shouting at everyone.
"Please calm down, don't be impatient, don't panic!"
Judging from the actual situation at the scene and his emotional expression, the bizarre and tragic deaths of those two people really disrupted their plans.
Teacher Hu Xiaoliang and his team members have already packed their backpacks.
"Director Guan, due to an unexpected incident, I think this event can be suspended. The cooperation between us can only come to an end temporarily. My team and I will leave Aoshan now. Later, we will truthfully report to the public security organs State what happened here.”
When they heard that Teacher Hu Xiaoliang's team was leaving, the people at "Coffee Cat" were also anxious.
"We will not participate in this event. We will also withdraw. Let's see what scares our anchors. You must bear this loss!"
After saying that, the two people, carrying the pale "coffee cats", were about to turn around and go down the mountain with Teacher Hu Xiaoliang's team.
"Let me see which one of you dares to take a step!"
It was Lao Zhou who was speaking. At this moment, he was completely fierce, and he was holding a gun in his hand.
"My brothers cannot die in vain. They are already here and none of you can leave."
"Old Zhou! What are you doing? Where did you get the gun? Put it away quickly! Your partner encountered an accident and may have been attacked by a wild beast in the mountains."
Guan Wentu didn't expect that this guy would be so out of control that he would reveal his affair in advance, and he quickly pretended not to know anything about it and tried to persuade him.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. I don't care what the accident is. If my brother is gone, this matter is not over. You want to leave? Then you have to finish this job. I am not here to accompany you to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Who can If you want to ruin my good deeds, the bullets in my hands don’t have eyesight!”
While talking, several people who followed Lao Zhou up the mountain all took out weapons from behind.
A single-barreled shotgun made from iron sand. The barrel is cut off and held in the hand. Although it is not very powerful, it is still quite intimidating.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lin Yi already understood what was going on.
It seemed that Lao Zhou had arranged for everyone to ambush at the end of the first half of the trip, help them bring weapons up, and then meet up to carry out their next plan.
Unexpectedly, these two unlucky guys were torn into pieces by something.
"Old Lin, this must have been done by Baimao, right?"
Wang Qiang whispered.
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
Bai Ji is tall and strong. He likes to eat human hearts and blood, but has no interest in skin, flesh and internal organs.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the two of them must have been attacked by Bai Ji, and they were already dead before they even took out their shotguns.
But even if they did take out the shotgun, for Bai Ji, it would only scratch an itch.
Guan Wentu had been "playing the red face", but after Lao Zhou's mood stabilized a little, he started to "play the bad face".
Lin Yi and the others stood nearby, watching their performance.
Someone in Teacher Hu Xiaoliang's team quietly raised his mobile phone to take a picture of the scene and sent out a call for help.
When Lao Zhou's men saw him, they hit him on the back with a rifle butt.
"Want to call the police?"
The other party fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
"You can't hit people! You still have room to turn back before the problem worsens."
"It's a little late to popularize the law now, Teacher Hu. I'm not a kid in your live broadcast room. I've been waiting for this day for seven years. Seven years. How many seven years can a person have in this life?
How could I let you ruin my good deeds? "
"Old Zhou, what are you talking about? Put down your weapon quickly, it's very dangerous!"
Guan Wentu heard that Lao Zhou had reached the key point and immediately interrupted him.
"Seven years?"
Lin Yi muttered this year in his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't think of the special meaning of this year.
"Seven years? The 'snowman' appearance cycle in the Taibai Mountains also happens to be seven years!"
Yao Yiyan exclaimed from behind.
Bai Lu immediately made a silence gesture to her, telling her to stop talking.
"Let me tell you, stop thinking about calling the police as soon as possible. Have you seen that barbed wire fence? That is the signal dividing line. After that line, no one can contact you."
As long as you follow me into the mountains honestly, I will naturally let you go when you get there. Now, do you want to tip off? There is no way!
I'm going to aggrieve everyone for a while now, and don't even think about running away unless you can run faster than a bullet."
Everyone understands now.
These guys are a group of desperadoes, and you can imagine the consequences of fighting them.
"Old Zhou, you are committing a crime. Put down the butcher knife and turn around."
"Stop talking nonsense and tie him up first!"
Lao Zhou's men took a roll of rope, starting from Guan Wentu, and tied their hands one by one, and connected them together with the rope.
"Old Lin, what should we do?"
Wang Qiang's hand had already reached for the engineer shovel in his backpack, and Qian Sheng and Bai Lu also put their hands into their bags.
"Don't panic! The other party has a clicker in his hand. That thing is not very clever. Just look at my eyes and act!"
Lao Zhou obviously knew that Lin Yi and the others were not easy to mess with. He was always keeping an eye on Lin Yi's movements, and his men always had two guns pointed at Lin Yi and the others.
"Boss Lin, you're all just living on the streets, you should know the rules."
"On the Tao? What Tao? Rules? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
Lin Yi deliberately pretended not to understand what he said and laughed and made jokes.
But his eyes were always fixed on the two men of Lao Zhou holding guns in front of him, as well as the accomplices around him who were putting ropes on others.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just stay there. I'll need you later. Give Boss Lin and his others a tighter tie. They're all practicing."
"I know, boss!"
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, walked towards Lin Yi and the others.
While they were meeting him, Lin Yi's eyes moved, and Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng immediately understood.
The moment they got close, Wukong suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention. Lao Zhou took aim with his gun alertly.
But their hands were still half a beat too late. Lin Yi and Qian Sheng had already firmly restrained the other two. Wang Qiang and Bai Lu went up and fired their guns.
The three men on Lao Zhou's side immediately pointed their guns at them.
"Let go of my brother!"
"Don't move! If you dare to move, you will have to kill two more brothers!"
The barrier knife in Lin Yi's hand was now placed across the other's neck, and Qian Sheng had already grabbed the other's throat with his backhand.
"Boss Lin, if we have something to say, let's talk it over. Human life is no joke!"
"Zhou Piokui, isn't that what you said just now?"
Lin Yi directly revealed the other party's identity, and Lao Zhou's expression suddenly changed and turned into a smile.
"As expected of Boss Lin, he is indeed extraordinary. Since I have already said this, let me tell you straight away. There is a huge amount of wealth hidden in this mountain. As long as you join forces with us, everything can be easily discussed!"
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?"
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
"But I have only ever heard that because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, the Xieling warriors turned against each other and fought against each other. If they treat their own people like this, how can they be willing to share the spoils with outsiders?"
Lao Zhou's words were deliberately delaying time, and Lin Yi knew it.
But why isn't he?
This scale must be grasped well. If this guy is cornered and attacks indiscriminately, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Tell me, why are you willing to let him go?"
As soon as Lao Zhou finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the mountains where everyone was standing. The snow on the ground was picked up by the wind and pressed down like a blanket.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly and visibility dropped sharply.
The cold-proof clothes worn by several people were frozen through in an instant.
"Baimaofeng! It's Baimaofeng! Get down quickly!"
After Xiaoliang shouted, the roar of the wind completely drowned out everyone's voices.
White-haired wind is a common name for people's snowstorms. Strong winds roll up the snow on the ground and the snow falling from the clouds all over the sky. The ground and sky are completely white, and the visibility is extremely low. It is also accompanied by a sudden drop in temperature and a cold wave.
The "Ao Tai Line" suddenly began to demonstrate its astonishing destructive power.
Before anyone had time to react, the huge wind had already knocked everyone to pieces.
Those standing low are like tumbleweeds, losing their foundation and being rolled all over the ground by the white-haired wind.
Those standing at a high place were "flying kites" directly by the powerful wind.
Only a faint howl was heard, and the sound gradually drifted away.
At this time, Lin Yi could no longer care about the hostage in his hand. He pushed him away and reached out to grab Qian Shengyi by the collar.
The two of them were knocked directly to the ground by the huge wind.
Lin Yi thrust the barrier knife into the soil with his backhand, and finally managed to regain his balance.
The advantage of Wang Qiang's heavy weight was now revealed. He was holding an engineering shovel in one hand and driving it into the ground. The other hand was still holding Bai Lu's ankle tightly.
Bai Lu's other hand was clasped together with Yao Yiyan's, and under the attack of the huge white-haired wind,
"Brother Lin, think of a way, I can't hold it anymore! Sister Yan, don't let go!"
In desperation, Lin Yi threw out his flying tiger claws and locked them tightly on Bai Lu's backpack strap. He and Qian Sheng worked together to stabilize Bai Lu first, allowing her to continue to hold Yao Yiyan's hand.
"Lao Wang, it's time for a hero to save the beauty!"
Without saying a word, Wang Qiang immediately grabbed the chain of Feihu Claw, reached out and grabbed Yao Yiyan's arm, and pulled her forward.
"Fat man, tell Xiao Lin that there is a temporary shelter under the crooked-necked dead pine tree next to him. Find a way to move there!"
Yao Yiyan opened his mouth and shouted with all his strength.
Wang Qiang nodded, dragged Yao Yiyan, crawled towards Lin Yi's defense line, and finally met at one place.
"Old Lin, there is a shelter under the withered pine tree in front of you. Sister Yan said you can go in and hide."
Lin Yi made an OK gesture and crawled over there first.
The crooked-neck pine tree was quite conspicuous. When I walked in front of it, I stretched out my hand and tapped the ground. Sure enough, it made a hollow sound.
He put his hand into the snow and felt something like a doorknob. He pulled hard and an underground shelter appeared in front of him.
It's more like a big pit than a shelter.
But in the eyes of a few of them, this is simply a gentle town.
"It's still there!"
Yao Yiyan let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Yi held up the cover and reached out to take Qian Sheng and Bai Lu in first. Wang Qiangti slipped Yao Yiyan in and squeezed in too.
After the four people got in, Lin Yi looked around. It was completely white and he couldn't see anything. It seemed that everyone could only hope for luck. He was the last one to get into the shelter and closed the cover.
The white-haired wind whistled overhead, and everyone escaped death. At this moment, they held their breath and listened quietly to the movements outside. No one said a word.
The power of nature is so amazing that just a snowstorm in the mountains is enough to wipe out their entire army.
If it weren't for this shelter, they would either be swept into the ravine by the wind or freeze to death outside.
Not playing by the rules and the weird and changeable weather conditions are the main reasons why the "Ao Tai Line" is called the "Murder Line".
