Chapter 88 Forking Road

I seemed to have read it wrong just now, and when I looked over, the weird guy was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and I didn’t know if he heard our conversation.

"Brother Dao? Brother Dao? Are you awake?"

Obviously, in addition to me, the mouse also discovered clues. He squatted over and was about to shake the weirdo, but after thinking about it, I still grabbed him.

So what if we wake him up? What's more, I don't think we can wake him up at all.

If he is really still recovering his physical strength, the wound on the back of his hand will not heal much overnight. Judging from his current physical condition, I think we are not suitable for us to let messy clues disturb him. Saving physical strength is the most important thing. I don’t know how far ahead is. Can such a physical condition last?

If he had been awake as early as everyone else, then no matter what we say, the person who pretended to be asleep would not open his eyes. Even if we forced him to scream, then he could pretend to be asleep and pretend to be listening to nothing, then he would naturally avoid something in his heart and would not tell us anything.

I vaguely feel that Chao Wendao, who is lying beside me, is different from the Chao Wendao who will be better when he smiles. Now, there is something hidden in his simplicity, but we are all comrades-in-arms who have been together for many years. I think my relationship with him is the most strong, so what else can I say and analyze it together?

Perhaps he is in a period of struggle for his master's belief, just like the extremely complicated and indescribable mood after I first learned about Lao Liu's other identity.

Don't affect him for the time being!

Soon, even the last bit of wood strips of Mars was extinguished, and without fuel, the military base was still very cold.

Fortunately, the night that was constantly disturbed was about to pass. A slight light penetrated from outside. When the splicing soldiers standing guard at the door suddenly took action and walked straight out, I felt that the sun on the snow-capped mountains had risen, and we could see each other's outlines in a vague way again.

"Why are Mr. Dong? Are we still in groups? Seeing Brother Dao's situation, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to make trouble."

The mouse stood up and stretched, counted the few left luggage: "I'm afraid this is the last time I have had a full meal and roasted a campfire. Now we are too poor!"

"Well... If there is no fire here, it's not okay to sleep on the ground all the time. Be careful and let Brother Dao take a break for a while. Let's go out to explore the new road!"

Seeing Master Dong and his other suicide squads joining each other, I hurriedly followed me with my muscles - even if I kept guarding me, the weird guy still ignored me when he woke up.

There was originally a door at the exit on the other side of the base.

We could find some traces of things embedded there, but the door was removed later.

Once I walked out of this door, I suddenly felt that the ice cliff had become different. It seemed that the base separated two areas. It was originally a piece of blue water and pure white ice and snow. Now, a hint of green popped up from time to time in my sight. There were actually a large number of plants that could not be named!

It was early morning, and the sun on the snow-capped mountains had already put a layer of gold on Kunlun. We were under the ice cliff, and the morning mist had not yet dissipated. After walking two steps, we felt dizzy and confusing. Even the air between our breaths was made of gold!

"Paila—"

"Ba"

A faint but very crisp sound came. We followed the sound and realized that several large leaves were swaying gently. A layer of night frost condensed on it broke and shook to the ground.

I don’t even know any of the plants here, and I can’t see many stems. They are more or less stuck in the ice. Behind the cliff, they are all particularly huge. I think the leaves can be comparable to the banana leaves I have seen in Hainan, but they are completely different in shape!

When I was studying geography in the past, I remember that the cold zones were all coniferous forests, and these large and broad leaves were all plants that were found in the tropical zone. Why can such things grow under such a cold ice cliff?

Oh, it’s understandable to think about it. Peach blossoms are still blooming somewhere in Kunlun Mountain!

As the sunlight penetrated more intensely, the crackling sound of frost crackling sounds were endless. When the morning mist dissipated, I found that the green plants here were actually covered with the entire cliff! I didn't feel the wind blowing in, but the wide leaves were trembling in the golden light. Is this... trying hard to absorb the warm sunlight and perform photosynthesis to the maximum extent?

“Is there a ready-made path?”

The mouse turned the leaves beside him. I found that when we looked around, we were all green leaves, but along the mouse, there was a very clear place where the plants on both sides were very wide. This obviously should have been passed by someone for a long time, and this road gradually formed!

The splicing soldier probably came from this road and left from this road. Where did it lead?

The pioneer could not hold back, and moved his ankles, fiddled with the big leaves that were still falling, and ran away for about ten meters in one breath!

"This road is long! There should be a chance!"

While speaking, his figure was hidden among the green leaves. We were afraid that there would be any danger hidden in the invisible places. After waiting for a while, he actually emerged from a high place.

It turns out that this is a shortcut to climb from the bottom of the cliff to the top!

"Rat, please be more at ease. I don't know what else is here. We still have wounded people lying underneath..."

"Master Dong, I guess, my brother Dao still has to go out of the mountain..."

After pausing for a while, the mouse finally turned around and walked down from a high place for a while and said, "This road is very far away. It would be fine if it could be so simple that it would be dark. What's annoying is that I look at the farther place and this road is forked!"

"Can you tell where the fork is?"

"It's very difficult to see those roads, and there are different directions. One of them looks like a pavilion, and some are farther away and can't be seen. I dare not walk again, so I want to ask Brother Dao to come out and identify it." The mouse returned and gestured on his palm several times, "Because, the roads on the high ground are obviously more difficult to walk than the flat slopes. In order to avoid climbing, the people here have built many steps..."

ladder?

Could it be that Wuzhiqi carried the stairs that could walk out of the Broken Ice Cliff that were carried by the strange man at that time?!

Then as long as the weird guy wakes up and thinks back and forth, we can find the right path and escape from the bottom of this damn cliff!

"Chao Wendao and told a lie."

The three of us were walking back while we were pulling away the big leaves. Adjutant Li frowned and walked out of the base and whispered to us.

I was stunned. While the sound could not be heard inside, I quickly stopped: "What lie?"

"He woke up after you went out. I saw that he was in good condition, so I asked the notebook for details that I didn't explain clearly, and then some loopholes appeared."

“What about?”

"I asked him to describe the appearance of the painter. He thought for a long time and then said he didn't know."

"I don't know? But they didn't meet face to face?"

"Well, when he recalled the appearance of the artist, I deliberately knocked the cup with his fingernails - this was a method in the past when interrogating. The accelerated beat of the beat would disturb people's thinking and create a sense of urgency. It is difficult for people to make up lies in this situation. Then, what he told me was: the painter's face was always sideways or hidden in the shadows, and he never saw him from beginning to end."

"Our Brother Dao's eyes are the best one in the team. If he can't see clearly, no one can see clearly..." The mouse curled his lips, "But maybe Brother Dao is feeling uncomfortable, so he forgot?"

Adjutant Li flipped through a few pages of the book, pointed it out to us and said, "But from the first time he walked into the base and saw the painter, the state he told us was 'the painter looked shocked'."

My heart sank, yes, when we understood the story that happened in the base, the painter was shocked at the beginning of his appearance.

If you didn't see the painter's face at all, how could you mention "shocked" so many times?

"Don't ask."

Master Dong closed Adjutant Li's notebook and shook his head with his lips pursed.

The three of us looked at each other, but we stopped talking. After thinking about it, we still kept our words back.

He wouldn't want to say anything, he wouldn't want to tell us.

Let's do this for the time being.

Everyone sighed, went back to the base to pack up everything and prepared to leave the Broken Ice Cliff. There was no sunshine in the base. When the inside and outside, it seemed particularly dark and cold inside. Even if the monster had not woken up, we could not leave him inside to rest.

The little prince carried the weirdo up and I followed behind to help support him, but he moved his legs away like an electric shock to prevent me from touching him.

Have you hated me for this? Well, I don’t want to be bored by myself.

The group began to rise slowly along the path among the green leaves. At this time, the frost condensed at night basically dispersed. Large areas of leaves were automatically shaken without wind, and they kept shaking. I felt dizzy as I walked, as if I was in a surging ocean.

Not only me, but everyone is the same. The big star kept kneading his temples, and almost vomited out in a daze! He stopped and finally climbed to the original position where the mouse was. I looked up and saw that there were paths higher than the place, and it turned out that there were paths in several different directions!

I squinted my eyes and looked carefully. It seemed that some large stairs with wide spacing were emerging among the shaking leaves. We all looked at the weirdo at the same time, but he twisted his head and looked at... a path without stairs!

"Brother Dao, take a look. That side should be the road you have seen leaving? Not that side, look here, there are steps only two steps here!"

"What is that?"

The weird man turned his head and looked around, unmoved, and still looked at the other side of the path.

We surrounded him and looked at him from his perspective. He was not looking at the road between the cliffs at all. His eyes were directed in the air!

"Where is there any...is the air?" The little prince was very tired, "Brother Dao, you don't feel uncomfortable in your eyes, right?"

“Red, many curves.”

The weird man rubbed his eyes, but his eyes were still looking in the air.
