my dream adventure

Chapter 159 Mandarin Duck Hot Pot (29)

"I feel like we're in an ice cellar, almost turning into a frozen food reserve." Xiao Man muttered, rubbing her palms constantly, trying to bring some heat.

Her hands had already become stiff, because the temperature dropped too fast, and her body hadn't fully adapted to it, so that every degree of drop, the temperature change perceived by the human body was astonishing.

In this environment, if enough heat is not replenished in time, the core temperature of the human body will drop, and a series of fatal problems such as hypothermia will soon occur.

"We have to find a way to increase the physical problem, otherwise, if this continues, we will definitely not be able to go very far." Lin Yuan spoke with a white mist, his whole body was frozen like Santa Claus, his face was pale and bloodless .

"But if you stay here, it will consume more energy. There is no shelter here, so there is no way to achieve the effect of heat preservation." The young man made a rational analysis, thinking that this is not the best place to rest.

"Brother passer-by, my suggestion is to continue walking for a while, see if you can find a place that can shelter you from the cold, and then there is no rush to stop and rest." Sister Moon was the most calm among so many people.

Because in addition to resisting physical attacks, her outer armor also has a certain cold-proof effect, so her condition can be said to be the best among these people.

"Okay, let's continue walking quickly. We must find a place where we can avoid the cold." Lin Yuan raised his hand and looked forward, as if he wanted to make a cool pose, but halfway through it was too cold, so he quickly retracted and clamped rib cage.

Continuing to walk, the temperature rose a little bit, the level of the cave fluctuated up and down like the wriggling of insects, the temperature was higher near the ground, and the temperature was lower near the ground.

Now they reached a high point, and there happened to be some scattered stones here, they decisively decided to stop and rest, and worked together to arrange the stones, and built a temporary shelter, enclosing everyone in the middle of the stone wall , and a bonfire was built inside.

"Wow, I finally feel a little warmer." Xiaoman placed his kettle next to the fire to heat up, and he could drink hot drinking water later.

"How long have we been walking now?" The cave does not know the changes of day and night, and there is no way to predict the passage of time. Lin Yuan can only use the number of burning torches to estimate the distance they walked.

"I haven't reached the ice lake yet, so it's probably half a day's journey." She turned her head to look at the other party, as if she wanted to ask for his opinion.

"The map has changed, and it is impossible to predict what kind of road section will appear ahead. It would be great if there is a map or a timing tool." He said casually.

But the boy suddenly shouted, "Look ahead, there seems to be something?"

Everyone looked at the direction he indicated, and found a vague shadow on the wall illuminated by the fire, and there seemed to be something hidden not far away.

"Who of you go over and have a look." Lin Yuan shrank back timidly. Normally, he would retreat to the back for such things that need to be in the early stage.

"If you don't go, who will go? If you are afraid, I will go with you." The young man showed contempt in his eyes. Although he knew the other party's virtue, he also knew that he was easily swayed.

"Okay then." He sighed and got up, reluctantly walked over.

The two lit a new torch, and wanted to extinguish the torch after returning from the inspection, so that it could still be used when they set off.

"There is indeed something in front of you, but if you don't get close, you can't know what it is." He hid behind and approached quietly. With his bad eyesight, it was even more difficult to distinguish the shape of the object in this dim cave. and details.

As a well-informed person, the young man walking in the front, with the light source in his hand, just by looking at the shadow of the object and the smell in the air, he has almost guessed what it is.

But he won't say it. Once he said it, the person behind would definitely run away. In order to trick him into coming, he could only keep it secret.

"It should be a rock or something, so there's no need to make a fuss." He kept muttering and complaining all the way, but when he was only a few meters away, he suddenly smelled a disgusting rotten smell.

"Wait, could it be the corpse of an animal, but how could there be animals in this place?" Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks, and he saw something very quickly.

"It's a corpse, but it's not an animal, but a human." The boy's deep voice came, and he suddenly stretched out the torch.

The light of the fire shone on the object, revealing a corpse that had rotted to the bone.

"Damn it! You already knew that you lied to me, didn't you?" He quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, almost an instinctive action.

"The decay of the corpse is not serious, because the temperature here isolates the insects and animals outside, so the speed of degradation is slowed down." The boy was still analyzing seriously, and directly removed the clothes on the outside of the corpse with his hands.

"You, you, calm down." Lin Yuan stared at his movements with wide eyes, even the forensic doctor was not as bold as him, okay.

"The clothing on his body is the attire of modern people. It can be judged that it is not the aborigines seen in the cave murals before. The deceased should be a man with a gun. He has a complete set of equipment, a water bottle and food, and the reserves are still sufficient. "The young man continued to analyze, and found a folded white paper in the deceased's pocket, he didn't open it directly, but put it in his own pocket.

"Then what is the cause of death of the deceased?" Lin Yuan covered his mouth and forced out a sentence.

"There was no obvious trauma, it didn't die of thirst or starvation, could it be some kind of disease or..." The young man couldn't tell.

Although the corpse was not severely decomposed, the epidermis was basically intact, and indeed no trauma was found, but he did not have professional equipment to check whether there was any poison in the stomach.

"I'm sick, it can't be an infectious disease, so I have to stay away quickly." He quickly retreated five meters away.

The boy turned his head and looked at him contemptuously, "Even if it's a germ virus, if it doesn't come into direct contact with excrement, it won't be able to spread through the air, let alone the tissue is already dead. It won't last long either."

"All right, you're educated, I'm not educated, okay, I'm afraid of death." He wasn't shy about his actions at all, he really was a thick-skinned person.

"If you are afraid, go back first, and I will tell you the results of the investigation." The young man lowered his head and continued to check the objects carried by the deceased, hoping to find some useful information from them.

"As expected of you, you are indeed a gentleman. I'll get out first." After he finished speaking, he ran away without any sense of shame.

Anyway, it's useless for him to get there, it's better to leave early to save time and effort, his idea is simple, he is not a person who can do that kind of superficial work.

"It looks like this is a hunter?" The boy found the shotgun, and there were traces of use in the magazine, which shows that the hunter should have used his weapon to hunt nearby.

Hunters generally do not hunt for the meat of their prey. For modern poaching organizations, the main purpose is to obtain the fur of some rare animals, or ivory and rhinoceros horns, which are expensive, have a long shelf life, and are easy to carry. animal products.

However, apart from the basic survival equipment, there was no trace of prey on the body of the deceased. It can be seen that he either just passed by here and did not plan to hunt here, or he had already started but failed.

When the deceased died, he covered his chest with his hands, which shows that his death may have been caused by an accident due to a heart attack.

But if it is a heart patient, it is impossible not to carry medicines when going out, but the deceased did not have other special medicines except the hemostatic medicine, disinfectant, and bandages used for trauma, which shows that he should have no history of heart disease.

It's not like he doesn't understand how low the probability of having a heart attack without being a heart patient is. Sometimes something looks like an accident, but it may be intentionally disguised as an accident.

Fortunately, the piece of paper he found in the pocket of the deceased just now seemed to have drawn a map, marking the internal structure of the entire cave, even the bamboo forest where they came, and the labyrinth forest before it.

"This thing may be of great use." The boy thought about telling them about it when he went back.

The other equipment was almost found by the young man, and basically all the usable ones were brought, including the rifle, which is also a good offensive weapon.

"Brother, look, little brother Sanyue is back." Xiaoman happily gave Lin Yuan a slap. Since she knew the boy's real name, she began to call him by his name openly, without the restraint of a little girl. .

"Come back when you come back, what are you doing to me, I am innocent." Lin Yuan looked at her helplessly, but in his heart he had a sense of awe for the young man.

He was the one who dared to touch the corpse with his bare hands. It was the first time he had seen such a cruel person, and it dealt a big blow to his weak heart.

"I'm back. I've brought some things that can be used. Take a look." The boy looked at the lively brother and sister on the opposite side, with a faint smile on his face, and unloaded the things on his body.

"You pick up junk, you dare to ask for these things." Lin Yuan looked at him incredulously, these are objects from the corpse, normal people would not touch them at all, okay?

However, he didn't directly mention the origin of these things, and he could also mention the corpse in front of Xiaoman and the others to avoid causing a second panic.

"When resources are scarce, we don't pay too much attention. If there is a little food, it should be edible before the expiration date and there is an outer packaging." The young man understood Lin Yuan's meaning, and he also planned to tell a lie and simply explain the matter Cover up.
