Section 844 - Orientation
Although winter has not yet begun in the Helan Mountains after autumn, the temperature after nightfall is quite cold, and frost may even occur in some areas.
In the second half of the night, Li Bai was woken up by two police officers on night. As soon as the curtain was lifted, the biting air conditioning rushed in, and a little sleepiness immediately disappeared.
The locations of several tents are not on the open-air platform, but are twenty or thirty meters inside the cave entrance. Although they can be protected by mountains deeper and the temperature is not that low, they are afraid that something messy will appear in the cave.
"Nothing happened, right?"
Li Bai lifted the blanket on his body, and except for taking off his coat, it was basically no different from lying on his clothes.
He looked at the time and it was three o'clock in the morning. It was obvious that the two policemen took care of each other for half an hour.
"There are some bugs, but I didn't dare to get close."
Officer Zhan was glad that Dr. Li brought an extra piece of magical snake scales, so that the place where they were stationed was not disturbed too much.
I saw more and more unknown little bugs in the middle of the night, which made people feel creepy.
Fortunately, the snake scales made the insects attracted by the taste of dinner food wander fifty meters away and did not dare to get close from beginning to end.
Otherwise it would be a very headache-inducing trouble.
"Are there only bugs?"
Li Bai heard a slight sound in the distance.
The rest of the rescue team did not notice at all. They worked hard all day and almost fell asleep as soon as they lay down, without knowing that uninvited guests were coming nearby.
"There are only bugs, but there are big ones."
Officer Zhan got into the tent and completed shift changes with Li Bai.
There are only four tents. Except for the female student of the archaeological team, Jin Xiaoqing, who can occupy a small tent alone, everyone else can only squeeze each other and share several other tents.
Pulling a wet tissue to wipe your face, Li Bai replaced another Officer Hu, took back the snake scales, and saw the insects.
He has long legs, hb waist, fifty heads and bodies... all kinds of charming little bitches are swaying their teeth and claws.
Uh! It's really disgusting to see it, and it's hard for the two policemen to stare at it all night.
Li Bai pinched a spell and chanted the spell in a low voice. After a moment, a blue-blue fireball formed on his fingertips, rising with ripples. The high temperature that was enough to melt gold and iron was bound tightly, and no heat was emitted.
It popped up casually, and the relatively dim fireball dripped across a parabola and fell towards the insect swarm in the distance. As Li Bai's magic changed, it suddenly expanded before it was about to land, turning into a huge fire cover and suddenly pounced on large worms. Even the crackling sound of burning insect bodies did not have time to sound. Large areas of Mars rose on the ground, and the released flames spread to 270 degrees, and in a blink of an eye it spread to the left and right walls of the cave and deeper.
The bugs flying in the air failed to escape the disaster. The rising heat easily ignited their bodies, and another large area of flying Mars.
Almost within a few breaths, all the food in the rescue group and the bugs in the camp were burned to ashes, and the bones remained.
A breeze blew, slowly pushing the remaining high temperature into the depths of the cave. Even the residual heat was enough to ignite the wood and paper pieces. Some fragile insects had no ability to resist and were directly burned to ashes.
A few minutes later, the effect of the magic spell "Nine Ghost Flame" that had exhausted its spiritual energy finally dissipated, killing countless insects, and huge heat even poured into the other end of the cave. In the space where spiral stone paths and a large number of habitable holes were dug, it turned into an oven, killing countless bats.
The night wind in the northwest mountainous areas is not as gentle and graceful as Jiangnan, but is as fast and wild as a knife.
Before dawn, the wind suddenly became violent, and the sound of ghosts and wolves howling echoed far and near, and the temperature dropped again.
The thin tent cloth could no longer resist the invasion of the cold air, and was blown by the air flow that poured into the cave entrance. The sleeping person couldn't help but frown and shrank.
An invisible barrier rose at the entrance of the cave, blocking the cold current that was rushing like a tide. No matter how the biting wind hits, there is still nothing to do with this barrier.
In the cave, the temperature of several tents began to rise slowly. Although it was not as good as the temperature of igniting a bonfire, it was already comparable to the open weather during the day. Lying in a tent that was blocked by the wind, covered with a warm blanket, it was enough to have a comfortable sleep.
It was past seven o'clock in the capital, and the horizon gradually became brighter and the sun rose from the horizon bit by bit.
The rescue team members woke up one after another and started working on a busy new day.
Breakfast was very simple, with two handfuls of rice porridge, plus a few slices of toast bread, everyone would just take care of it.
"Huh? Where are those bugs?"
Two police officers who had been sleeping for a while were patrolling around the neighborhood, but did not see even a single insect, as if they had disappeared without a trace before dawn.
The ashes burned by the insects melted into the thick dust on the ground, and even if there were burnt marks burned by high temperatures, it was difficult to distinguish them on the ground.
The burnt smell had long dissipated, and naturally there was no trace left.
The spiritual energy accumulated with great effort consumed more than half of the time before dawn. It can only be said that the rules of the world in this world are not friendly enough to warlocks and monsters, but Li Bai did not complain. It was completely worth it to allow the rescue team to rest.
They have not yet left the Helan Mountains, and after enough rest, they can have enough energy to deal with various situations, so they will naturally not drag down Li Bai.
"there is none left!"
Li Bai, who had been guarding the night, sucked and drank the hot porridge, and answered the other party.
He suddenly raised his head and looked out of the cave.
"What's wrong, what's there?"
Officer Zhan and Officer Hu became nervous at the first time. Whenever Dr. Li reacted like this, something bad would happen.
"There is a voice!"
Li Bai held the stainless steel cup serving porridge and walked towards the platform.
The movement he heard became clearer and clearer.
"There is a situation!"
Officer Zhan shouted and followed Li Bai to the platform.
Li Bai, who was about to eat bread, looked into the distance and soon saw an object hovering over the mountainous area of something and flying closer and closer.
Seeing Li Bai looking into the distance, the emergency doctor who had taken care of the injured male student all night brought the telescope, and after looking at it for a while, he said affirmatively: "It's an unmanned reconnaissance plane!"
The rescue forces outside started operations early in the morning. Before the helicopter arrived, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft took the lead in flying into Helan Mountain with complex terrain to confirm the location of the rescue team.
Bang!
A bright light bullet shot quickly into the sky, quickly attracting the attention of the drone, no longer wandering around aimlessly and heading straight to the direction where the signal flare rose.
The rescue team released eye-catching purple smoke, guiding the drone to the target.
Li Bai's cell phone rings.
"We found you, at least eleven kilometers away from the royal tomb."
The caller was Professor Zhu Chaoye, probably next to the operator of the drone -
Chapter completed!
