Under Cheng Ying's greeting, everyone who was collectively confused came over after hearing the news. Soon, at Cheng Ying's signal, everyone also saw the pile of ice shards.
"Huh? This, this is..."
The moment he discovered the ice pile, he seemed to have found a major clue. He Fei's pupils shrank, and he immediately bent down to check. Together with Zhao Ping, who had the same reaction, he took the lead in sizing up the ice pile. The observation results were the same as Cheng Ying's. No matter how you look at it, all you see is a pile of ice fragments broken into particles. Each ice crystal is only a little larger than a snowflake. Even if many particles are piled up into a group, they are actually basically transparent and difficult to detect, and they almost melt with the snow on the ground. If it weren't for Cheng Ying's sharp eyes, no one would have noticed it.
That's true, but after all, it's just a pile of ice chips in front of him, at least in the eyes of most people. The strange thing is that it's obviously just a pile of ice crystal particles, but He Fei is particularly concerned about it, and Zhao Ping is also concerned about it. No bounds, at this moment, the two of them were staring at the ice pile together as if they had discovered an extremely important clue. Peng Hu and others looked at each other in confusion. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone looked confused. Isn't it just a pile of ice slag? What's there to see? Just look at it, never thought that the two of them would stare at each other and observe carefully? He almost fell to the ground!
"Hey, He Fei, what are you two doing? Is there anything special about this thing?"
"Yeah, what's so interesting about the ice pile? Is there something weird about this thing?"
"Hey, Lao He, do you want to have a word with Senior Zhao? What's going on?"
Because they really couldn't understand the specific intentions of He Fei and the two, everyone asked questions one after another. Except for Cheng Yingtang who was thoughtful, the others were all curious and stunned. Chen Xiaoyao was even scratched and questioned repeatedly. Unfortunately, there was no answer. People ignored him, He Fei did not answer them, and Zhao Ping remained silent the whole time, just staring at the ice pile with strange eyes. After a moment, as if they had agreed, He Fei and Zhao Ping raised their heads at the same time, and looked at each other at the same time, first They looked at each other, and then He Fei reached out to the ice pile, pinched some crumbs and rubbed them slowly on his fingertips. During the rubbing, He Fei's expression gradually became ugly, and the reason for his abnormal expression was...
The ice crystals are quite greasy. Although the particles melt quickly under the friction of your fingers, the melted ice crystals are not water as expected, but some slight A viscous liquid substance.
Maintaining an ugly expression, as if he had thought of something, He Fei quickly turned around and asked Yang Shusen in the crowd: "Professor Yang, I heard that you were a scientist studying chemistry before you were old?"
Yes, just now, He Fei suddenly turned around and asked Yang Shusen, who was just a newcomer, a question about the old man's past identity. Seeing this, not only the senior man was quite surprised, but even Yang Shusen himself was surprised, although he was indeed He is a very knowledgeable scientist with rich knowledge, but now he is just a rookie executor. Due to his lack of mission experience, he cannot participate in the discussion of senior people's issues, so he can only remain silent, just like other newcomers. He just followed the team closely, thinking that this silence would last forever, but just now, the young captain named He Fei suddenly turned back to him, took the initiative to talk to him, and asked him about his reality. Profession.
Of course, doubts are doubts, and explanations are puzzling. When faced with He Fei's inquiry, after a brief period of surprise, Yang Shusen nodded and answered truthfully: "Well, I am indeed engaged in scientific research in reality, and my research direction is also chemistry. "
"Well, since you always specialize in chemistry, let's check the specific composition of these ice crystals."
……………
He Fei has always respected the elderly, especially those who have contributed to society, but regardless of whether he personally respects them or not, since He Fei, as the captain, has spoken, how can Yang Shusen, who is very self-aware, dare to trust him? big? So, at He Fei's request, Yang Shusen started to check as instructed, squatting in front of the ice and looking at it carefully, and finally picked up the ice chips and rubbed them with his fingertips like He Fei did.
Sure enough, similar to He Fei's reaction, the feeling of oil from his fingertips made Yang Shusen, who was studying chemistry, frown. Next, he put the oily fingertips in front of his nose and smelled it, but he still couldn't smell it. Well, when he heard it, Yang Shusen's expression changed suddenly!
The old man's expression of horror, which was even more obvious than that of He Fei, was seen by everyone, and was also witnessed by He Fei and Zhao Ping.
Yang Shusen is worthy of being a scientist who specializes in chemistry. Without waiting for anyone to ask, the old man frowned and said bluntly: "The oil contains a high amount of folic acid and is doped with a variety of calcium and zinc elements. These are all elements found only in mammals." .”
His answer was both professional and simple, but his answer was simple, but after learning that the ice residue was animal oil and even the ice residue was transformed from animals, everyone's faces changed, including He Fei! Some of the timid ones even trembled uncontrollably. Yes, there is no need to explain. In the current snowy mountains, which mammal is the most numerous nearby? The answer is self-evident...
I didn’t expect that the human body was actually the one building this pile of ice slag! ! !
It turned out that the two students who went out last night were collectively shattered. Their bodies were frozen to pieces by a certain extreme low temperature. Their bodies suddenly collapsed and disintegrated from the cellular level, and were frozen into a pile of broken ice residue by the unimaginable abnormal low temperature!
The truth came out, but this truth scared everyone including He Fei to death! At this moment, He Fei's face turned pale, Zhao Ping's face turned pale, and Peng Hu and the others who were full of curiosity just now were sweating on their backs. They understood that it turned out that the ice slag was the student who died last night, or the one in front of them. Ice slag is a corpse!
"This ghost has the ability to freeze. No, this is no longer ordinary freezing, but disintegration, using low temperatures beyond the limits of human imagination to directly freeze people into ice slag!" Just when the others were scared, He Fei took advantage of the situation to clarify the current situation and directly stated the ability of the mysterious ghost. He paused for a moment. After scanning the crowd, He Fei frowned and continued his analysis: "In addition, according to my guess, this This kind of freezing should be implemented through touch, and the speed of the ghost must be very fast, at least higher than the speed of human beings, and it can easily catch up with and catch the fleeing humans."
He Fei's analysis that was close to the truth made everyone nod. The seniors were okay. They had strong minds. Although they were not panicked, they quickly regained their composure. Unfortunately, the newcomers obviously couldn't do this. After learning about the ice pile It was transformed from a human being. Li Wenguang was so frightened that he shook his head like chaff.
Wang Kui was trembling, and the already timid Su Xiaomei's legs and feet became weak almost at the same time. Yang Shusen, as the verifier, showed an incredibly shocked expression. The old man was a scientist after all, and he had always been a staunch materialist in the past. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and dismisses supernatural rumors. That's why he doubted it after listening to Tang Meng's explanation. He was the only newcomer who expressed disbelief in supernatural missions. This was what he thought at first. Yes, however, as the situation developed, the old man's worldview gradually changed. He was first shocked by the cursed space teleportation and identity, and now he was shocked by the terrifying phenomenon in front of him. Oh my God, is this the so-called curse? space? Is this a so-called supernatural mission? Also, freezing a living person directly into ice slag is definitely beyond human power, unless...
It turns out that ghosts are real, and there are real ghosts here!
As the world view was completely shattered, Yang Shusen, who was still dubious at first, gradually became scared, and for the first time showed an expression of fear similar to that of other newcomers. However, Tao Mei's performance was slightly better. Although she was also scared now, at least the woman did not have weak legs. , but quietly approached Peng Hu, and then took the initiative to hold the right hand of Peng Hu, who was immersed in astonishment.
Of course, the newcomer's reaction is not the important point. The important point is that He Fei found a clue, which is quite valuable. After learning that the ice pile was actually a human corpse, He Fei not only grasped the key and analyzed it, but also secretly praised it. Zhao Ping gave him a hand and admired his foresight. It was so dangerous. Fortunately, Zhao Ping did not tell everyone about the matter last night. Otherwise, with his own character, he would definitely lead a team to check it out immediately, and it was early in the morning. In the middle of the night, the ghost that just killed two students may not leave. Once he leads his team to check, life or death will be uncertain, because...
This ghost has the ability to kill people in an instant! ! !
"Holy shit, this ghost is so powerful. He can instantly kill someone just by touching him. I've never seen it before."
After being stunned for a long time, after roughly figuring out the killing method of the mysterious ghost, Chen Xiaoyao was surprised and decisively said that he did not know. It is conceivable that even Chen Xiaoyao, the opponent Maoshan Taoist priests who know very well about ghosts can’t figure out the nature of ghosts, let alone others.
Yes, the description is true, but He Fei’s current focus is not on this, but...
Staring at the ice pile at his feet, as if he sensed an impending disaster, Chen Xiaoyao had just finished speaking. He Fei suddenly stood up and ordered Chen Shuihong in an anxious tone to the opposite side, without even waiting for others to express their opinions. Said: "Quick! Arrange for someone to go over and call back the group of students who went hiking nearby!"
As mentioned before, in order to enjoy this rare outdoor outing, mountaineering activities are a must. Early this morning, carrying various mountaineering tools, hundreds of male and female students, led by several lecturers, headed to the nearby mountain peak. A mountain with Cole The nameless mountain peaks are not far apart. The reason why we don’t climb Cole Peak nearby is because no one wants to die. In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about mountaineering knows that snowy mountains are full of dangers and there are sudden disasters of their own, especially avalanches. The threat is greatest, and the team camp happens to be built at the foot of Cole Peak. Once an avalanche occurs, not only the climbing members will escape death, but the camp at the foot of the mountain and the other half of the members staying in the camp are also destined to suffer the same misfortune. Therefore, for the sake of safety, choose another The mountain front came naturally. Yes, as early as when the executors decided to search for the body, hundreds of students left the camp at the same time and went to the nearby mountain front. Everyone knew about this. However, as the corpse examination progressed, At the end, He Fei suddenly became nervous, and then asked Chen Shuihui, who was the team leader, to quickly send someone to stop it and call back the group of teachers and students who were hiking nearby!
Could it be...
"Uh? Ah, I got it. I'll go back to the camp to find someone right now!"
He Fei's intention was instantly understood by many well-understood executors, and the always smart Chen Shuihong also quickly understood He Fei's meaning after being stunned for a few seconds. He nodded in panic at first, then turned around and ran away. ,Can……
"Wait, you don't have to go.".
Just when Chen Shuihong turned around, he was stopped. Zhao Ping, who had been bowing his head and keeping silent since he learned the truth about the ice pile, suddenly stopped him. As the captain, He Fei's orders were strictly followed by Chen Shuihong, but Zhao Ping's words Chen Shuihong also dared not to listen! Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ping spoke, the fat man stopped on the spot. At the same time, the rest of the people, including He Fei, also collectively looked at Zhao Ping and cast doubtful glances. Especially He Fei, who saw the man with glasses suddenly called Chen Shuihong. , He Fei's questioning eyes were the strongest. Faced with He Fei's questioning, Zhao Ping must provide an explanation. As expected, He Fei didn't need to speak at all. After adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man answered proactively without expression, saying He gave a so-called explanation that no one, not even He Fei, could understand:
"There is no need to stop these people, just let them go if they want to go. Some things are better to let nature take its course. After all, our goal is just to survive. It is best to get involved in other people's affairs. We only need to take care of ourselves. "
………
Hooray, hooray.
The bone-piercing cold wind blows wantonly in the huge and towering mountains, sometimes rolling up a lot of snow. This is a unique phenomenon of high-altitude snow-capped mountains. Even the most peaceful weather here is far worse than that in the plains. Usually the mountains The constant wind makes the already harsh environment even worse, making it completely unsuitable for human survival. However, there are always exceptions to everything. It is obvious that the cold wind is raging and the temperature is very low, but now a group of people have gathered under the mountain front with a moderate altitude. , a group of up to a hundred young college students.
At this moment, under the cold wind, although all the faces were red from the cold, the students were excited from the beginning to the end. The majestic majesty of the snow-capped mountains made the students who came here for the first time so excited that they forgot that they were missing this morning. The two classmates looked up at the towering mountain peak for a while. The students were chattering. However, Kurlin, who had had mountaineering experience, was relatively calm. His calmness came from two levels. The first was that as a lecturer, he had to The second reason for maintaining dignity in front of students comes from his status as an amateur mountaineer. In fact, his opinions were adopted for the mountaineering materials prepared by the school, and he was still responsible for guiding the subsequent construction of the camp. By the way, he also explained How could he become the captain of the mountaineering team? Even though his mountaineering level was only considered amateur, he was still hundreds of times better than the students behind him.
「
Hey, Kurlin, are you sure you want to climb this mountain? It feels a bit high..."
Just as Kurlin raised his head to observe the mountain front, another middle-aged lecturer next to him expressed concern that this mountain
The nearby mountain front with the lowest altitude was judged to be a dangerous mountain front. Hearing this, Kollin smiled, turned back to the middle-aged lecturer who raised concerns and said with a smile: "Ivan, there is nothing wrong with your eyes, right? This is The mountain front is the one with the lowest altitude within hundreds of kilometers. I know you have never climbed a mountain and I know you are thinking about the safety of your students, but remember not to forget the spirit of challenge. The feeling of challenging the peak is the most wonderful. What's more, these students are not high school students anymore, they are all adults in their early 20s. Isn't it easy to climb a mountain peak of only 1,000 meters?"
Kurlin, who is obsessed with mountain climbing, really started his eloquent professional speech, and opening and closing his mouth was a challenge. Perhaps in the eyes of Kurlin, who is used to climbing, the mountain front with an altitude of only 1,000 meters is simply difficult and belongs to the easy level. It is a simple challenge that anyone can easily climb to the top, but in the eyes of the cautious Ivan, this height is already scary. If he didn’t have to take care of the students, he would probably never come here to take the risk, but Kurlin has a saying You are right, that is, the peaks are not high. Compared with other surrounding peaks, the one in front of you is the lowest and can be regarded as the short one on the mountain front. If you have to choose one to climb, you can only choose one. This.
"Okay, if that's the case, then..."
"Hehe!" Kurlin ignored Ivan's helpless bitter expression and just grinned. Then he pointed at the mountain peak and turned back to the students who were having a noisy discussion opposite and said loudly: "Students, be quiet for now. We are about to climb. On this mountain front, everyone should first bring ropes and protective tools, and then divide into two groups to take turns climbing. I have mentioned the specific procedures and precautions before, are there any questions?"
"no problem!"
Facing the excited responses from the students, Kurlin was very satisfied: "Okay, if there's no problem, let's get started."
Finally, with the order from the leading lecturer, the mountaineering exercise that the students had longed for began. The team of 100 people was divided into two groups. One group was in Chur. Led by Lin, they climbed to the top of the mountain, while a group waited at the foot of the mountain under the care of Ivan. The climbing process was not complicated. It was nothing more than a few people wrapping safety ropes around their waists and connecting them to each other, and then climbing up with the help of pickaxes and hammers. , Of course, when it is said to be climbing, it is actually walking on a slope. The climbing difficulty is the lowest. You don’t even need a pickaxe or hammer for most of the way. This is actually true. After all, they are just a group of college students with no mountaineering experience. A little fun is enough. The school thought so, and Kurlin, who had been warned by the principal in advance, did choose a small mountain front with the gentlest slope.
A mountain front of this level must be a piece of cake for Kurlin. He is currently leading the way, with 9 students lined up behind him connected by ropes. The climbing method of a team of 10 can be considered quite satisfactory. The five groups moved at the same time, facing the howling cold mountain wind and slowly ascending, and soon reached the mountainside.
But then again, as the climbing team reached the mountainside, the expected reaction followed.
"Ah, okay, it's so cold..."
The increase in altitude made the already fierce cold wind intensify. The increase in the cold wind meant that the temperature dropped. For a while, many students started to tremble. Just like now, they are obviously the last group, but Ors, who was taking the lead, had already turned pale and his lips were trembling. At the same time, he kept talking about how cold he was. The cold wind swept through him, and he moved slower and slower, and finally stopped. Since he was the leading member, he stopped. He then blocked the people in the back row and continued to move forward. Seeing this, the people behind him were immediately puzzled. As expected, Weir, who was following closely behind him, raised his head and asked him: "Hey, Ors, what are you doing? What happened all of a sudden? Aren’t you leaving? Everyone else has been moving forward. Don’t tell me that you are exhausted and exhausted now. Why don’t you leave quickly? We can’t get up if you don’t leave, right?”
"I'm not tired, I'm just a little cold." Seeing the classmates behind him urging him, Ors told the truth, and his truthfulness really won the inner approval of Weir and several other students. After reaching the mountainside, the nearby The temperature is obviously much colder than at the foot of the mountain, but the problem is that this low temperature is still within the tolerance range of the human body. In the final analysis, it can be tolerated, so...
"Cold? It's so cold! We can all bear it, but you can't, right?"
"Ols, please move quickly, you've blocked us all!"
"Quick! Keep walking! If I can't reach the top because of you, I will never
I can't forgive you! "
Seeing the other teams climbing higher and higher, the students in the back row suddenly became anxious. For a while, several people urged and shouted one after another. The grumpy one even threatened to beat others. Seeing that he had caused public anger, Ors did not dare to neglect, and also Ignoring the cold wind, he continued to move with all his hands and feet. Perhaps for fear of being beaten afterwards, Ors did not forget to turn around and apologize to the angry Vil people behind him, but...
The moment Ors just turned around, he stopped moving, and his forward body stopped again. Even the apology he was about to say stopped abruptly, and then he just stared at the bottom of his body.
The reason that caused Ors to be momentarily sluggish was...
He saw people.
First of all, it is certain that the person referred to here is definitely not the few classmates following behind, but the 11th person besides them, a stranger who has never been seen before, or in other words, a white person who is completely different from normal people. wack!
At this moment, about ten meters away from Ors and the others, on this very sloping mountain, there is currently a pure white person standing. The other person is covered in white from top to bottom, even with the surrounding areas It was the same color as snow, and its thick white hair completely covered the head and face. The height of 3 meters was seriously beyond the maximum limit of human height, and what was even more terrifying was...
Obviously this is halfway up the mountain several hundred meters away from the ground, and the slope here is already steep. As climbers, they can only bend down and cling to the mountain, and even use climbing picks and hammers as assistance. However, the white The weirdo didn't bend down. Not only did the opponent not stick to the mountain and use tools like normal people, but he stood upright on the steep mountain in a way that ignored gravity! Standing at the back of the ten-person team, he was currently facing the crowd and staring at them, keeping a voyeuristic attitude on the ten students who were still unconscious above them!
