Chapter 126 33 Icebergs in the Iceberg and Ancient Ming Dynasty Ships [Two in One]

Chapter 126 33. Icebergs in icebergs and ancient Ming Dynasty ships [two-in-one]

After a brief discussion, Sienke and others decided to continue along the reflective tow rope on the ground, bypass the strange corpse, and see what was behind the curved ice crack.

Their rescue team had no objection to this. After all, they found a heat source and confirmed that there were survivors. They were likely to be their team members. Even if it was dangerous, they had to be saved.

Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua could understand.

Whoever changed would make the same choice.

Fortunately, it was not their people who got into trouble this time. They did not need to take this risk and could wait and see what happened.

"Actually, it's not quite right. The girl we rescued had a wound in the abdomen, which was stabbed from the front. If it was these ice cones, then she slid out while lying down?"

Sister Wang asked a question.

This matter is also incredible. How did the girl get stabbed by the ice cone?

"Generally speaking, ice cones cannot be formed horizontally or from the ground upwards. Even if there are, such ice cones are usually not sharp." Xiao Hu followed up.

"Not necessarily. It could be the vertical ice spikes squeezed out by the movement of the ice layer." Hu Ruihua shook his head.

While everyone was talking.

Sienko had already led people into the left channel, and looked up with a flashlight, looking at the ice cones above his head.

It was very high in here.

It seemed that there was an inverted rift inside the glacier, and the top might be a hundred meters high. If the ice cones above fell, they could be stabbed to death at any time.

Fortunately, the probability was not high.

Because there were not many broken ice cones on the ground.

Sienko whispered to his teammates and sighed that he had not seen this kind of terrain many times in all these years.

The hundred-meter distance was soon reached.

Sienko and others walked along the right side of the channel, only a few meters away from the body, and could clearly see his expression before death, his eyes were full of fear, as if he was running away.

Everyone outside was looking at the screen.

They began to discuss this picture.

"It seems that he accidentally stabbed the ice cone while he was rolling and crawling to escape." Hu Ruihua said.

"What is inside? Can it scare him like this?" Hu Zi asked.

"Then let's see what they find when they turn around." Hu Ruihua stared at the screen.

Sienko and others carefully bypassed the corpse and began to go right along the curved channel. The further they went, the less impurities there were in the iceberg, and the entire ice crack channel was blue.

Wherever the flashlight was shone, it was a transparent and clear ice layer. The entire 100-meter-high ice wall was as light blue as the sea water, forever frozen inside the iceberg.

This ice is old ice.

There are no bubbles at all.

Some marine life can be seen frozen in various places. I don't know how long they have been frozen, it may be tens of thousands of years.

"It should change."

The members of Sienko spoke. They kept moving forward along the reflective rope on the ground, and they were always circling this arc, almost circling 180 degrees, but the arc still didn't stop.

At first they were heading left, and now they are heading right, circling a big circle.

They should stop.

Otherwise, if they continue to circle, they will get out.

"Be careful, it may be downhill."

Sienko warned.

He was the first to go. The camera showed that he took out an ice pick and pushed out the iron spikes on the bottom of his boots, so that he would not slide down even if he encountered a downhill slope.

The other teammates did the same.

And their clothes, elbows and knees, etc., all had a kind of cloth that could stick to the ice, so even if they rolled down the slope, they could quickly stop and save themselves.

It was indeed a very professional rescue team.

"Let's go." Sienko continued to move forward.

The camera screen moved with him.

After going around to the right for a while, the ice crack channel really turned into a downhill slope. The slope was not high, but it was very straight. It was estimated to be two or three hundred meters away, and there seemed to be an ice house at the end.

"There is a car."

The flashlight swept towards the entrance of the ice house.

A snowmobile was parked on the right side, and two or three people were lying beside the car. There was no heat source on their bodies. They were corpses.

Sienko and others were more cautious. They left two people waiting on the top. Sienko and the blond young man slowly slid down the gentle slope, shining the flashlight into the depths.

It was clearer.

The car had been towed by the previous rescue team, but it was not towed out. The bodies on the ground should have been collected by the rescue team, not members of the rescue team.

Where did the rescue team go?

They found the car and collected the bodies, but the people were gone, and six people were gone at the same time.

Sienko also realized this, and he and the blond young man took out the oxygen mask and walked down more carefully.

The people above also watched with bated breath.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Sienko walks into the ice room, he should be able to get the truth of the matter.

At the same time, he may encounter danger.

This is a test for everyone.

Zheng Yun took the time to look up. The towering iceberg illuminated by the flare was white and emitting dazzling golden light, like a holy mountain standing in the vast aurora snow.

The flare was hung in the air.

Other tourists within dozens or hundreds of kilometers can see this golden glowing iceberg in a distant place, and may stop to look at it, or take a photo with friends.

Looking back at the screen.

Sienko had reached the bottom, and the screen showed the situation inside the ice room. As soon as the flashlight light entered, it refracted in all directions, making the entire ice room dark blue.

The last five meters.

The two of them went down slowly.

A panoramic view of the ice room appears in front of you.

This is actually a natural crack in the iceberg, with a width of more than a hundred meters, extending irregularly to the north, with a length of more than a thousand meters, and there are two cliffs halfway.

Very huge.

The height has exceeded 100 meters.

The wide and closed space is all blue, and the ice cones above their heads are like the spire of a Western church. Every move the two make will create an echo, which is extremely loud in the space.

The snowmobile is on the right hand side of the entrance. The bodies of four victims are neatly placed in front of the car. The trunk is still open, with corpses and many strange equipment inside.

"Farke."

The blond young man trembled.

Senko quickly raised his head and looked at the place where the blond young man's flashlight shone, and the camera screen moved at the same time.

Four hundred meters ahead, on the right hand side, two cliffs bifurcate and extend in both directions, surrounding another iceberg.

In this iceberg.

About six meters high.

An ancient ship is frozen in ice.

This ancient ship is an open ship, more than a hundred meters long, completely sealed in mid-air. The front half of the ship can be clearly seen, but the back half is covered with a faint black shadow.

It can be seen vaguely.

There seems to be a shadow of a boat behind.

It is difficult to describe the scene presented on the screen, the rift valley within the iceberg, the cliff within the rift valley, and the iceberg within the iceberg.

The iceberg that had frozen the ancient ship seemed to have drifted into this huge rift valley, or it seemed that the ancient ship was driving the iceberg, sailing within the ice, and squeezed in here.

"It's actually a bright ship."

Hu Ruihua looked at Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun said nothing. It was not unexpected to see an ancient Ming Dynasty ship here. After all, there were pirate ships not far away and they could all squeeze in here.

The crux of the matter is.

What does the death of these victims have to do with this open boat? Did this boat kill them?

Senko and the blond young man scanned carefully and soon discovered more details:

On the cliff leading to the ancient ship, a soft bridge was built artificially, consisting of several ropes and rope ladders.

The rope ladder is nailed two meters below the ancient ship.

A hole was drilled in that location.

Someone must have accidentally discovered this ancient ship and had some ideas. They built a bridge here and drilled holes in the ice. They wanted to dig holes up and enter the ancient ship to find things.

It is currently unclear when this hole was dug out, but it probably was not dug out recently.

This is a hole that existed a long time ago.

The purpose is to steal everything in the ancient ship.

What happened recently is that a group of tourists accidentally discovered this place while exploring. Then they had a similar idea, so they changed the rope ladder and wanted to go in through this hole to see what was inside.

As a result, all died.

Only one girl survived.

What is strange now is, where did the last rescue team go? Did they also get in through this hole?

And now that we have reached the end, they have not seen any ice picks on the ground. Where did the wound on the girl's abdomen come from? Inside the ancient ship?

Senko also had the same question. He led people into the ice room and looked around, but did not see their players.

"Under the cliff?"

The blond young man was confused.

Senko said nothing and strode towards the cliff. He made a new discovery. This cliff was very shallow. It was a hundred meters deep but only a dozen meters deep. It was as if water was gradually filling the cliff. Fill in a gentle slope.

The flashlight scanned along the cliff.

Senko swept all the way forward.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became, because there were actually at least twenty corpses in this cliff, all from various ages, and there were also some dark holes at the bottom of the cliff.

"Go back and move the heat source equipment."

Chief Si En took a breath and turned around with the blond young man, intending to move down the equipment they were carrying.

This is a wise choice.

In this gap, Zheng Yun and others gathered around the monitor on the ground had time to talk.

"Brother Zheng, what do you think?"

Hu Zi frowned and asked.

"Something's wrong. This ship shouldn't be so powerful and be able to kill so many people."

Zheng Yun was also very confused.

After all, this place is not a tomb. These ice-sealed ships cannot have their own mechanisms and traps.

Because when ancient ships were frozen, it was either sudden or a very long process.

The probability of the former is very low.

The ancients did not have icebreakers, so they would only enter W-08 during the melting period. At that time, the ship was generally not frozen instantly. Even if it was delayed until the ice period, the ship would gradually be frozen.

The most common situation is that the ship is squeezed or even broken by the moving ice, making the ship unable to move.

In this process, everyone on the boat can escape and all valuables can be taken away. There is no need to design a bunch of killing mechanisms for a boat.

There are only a few possibilities for being instantly frozen, such as sailing a boat deep into a mountain range, hitting a rock and sinking into a glacial lake, or sinking under the ice in stagnant water.

If it catches up with the cooling.

That could be frozen within hours.

Or perhaps it was a more extreme situation encountered by some pirate ships when they were seeking death. Suddenly, a burst of ice rain blew over, and everyone on the ship was instantly frozen to death and froze in place.

No matter which one it is.

The ancients had no need or need to design mechanisms, unless these ships were burial ships specially used to bury dignitaries.

The possibility is not high either.

Zheng Yun had never heard of anyone doing this, specifically sealing his body in an iceberg.

"I just saw some broken ice picks under the cliff. They were probably knocked down when they were drilling holes. If they fell down the valley, they might be punctured."

Hu Ruihua still paid attention to the girl's wounds.

"But it's hard to explain the two deceased people in the passage. The one in red was suspected of suffocation, and the one lying on the ground was so frightened that he rolled around. What happened to them?"

Xiao Hu was still puzzled.

"There is a sequence here. The one lying on the ground should die first, and the one in red should die last. This should be the order." Sister Wang made some reasoning.

This reasoning is sound.

If the person in red clothes dies of suffocation first, then everyone behind him will die of suffocation, unless the person inside has an oxygen tank, but the deceased lying on the ground does not.

"It doesn't necessarily mean suffocation. It's difficult to suffocate in such a large rift valley." Hu Ruihua shook his head.

"What did the guy lying on the ground see and be frightened like that?" Huzi asked.

"I estimate that the sequence of events is as follows. The girl on the snowmobile outside and the two deceased people were injured during the exploration and were sent outside. It was probably the man in red and the deceased lying on the ground who completed the pick-up and drop-off process."

"After they sent people to the car, they went back to rescue other people, and then encountered something in the process, which caused them all to die in this crack."

Hu Ruihua looked at Zheng Yun and speculated.

Zheng Yun nodded. This part of the reasoning was no problem and very reasonable. He was thinking about the relationship between this bright ship and the extreme cold hell, and whether it was possible for the two to coexist.

if there is not.

Then this is not the ‘earth hole’.

While they were discussing above, Senko and others had moved the equipment to the ice room below and turned it on.

Luo Rui in the rescue boat received the signal and once again displayed a heat source map on the screen.

"ah!"

Rory yelled.

Zheng Yun and others also looked at this picture. They couldn't understand it, but they could clearly see that in front of Si Enke and the others, there was an obvious large strip of light yellow.

In the iceberg that freezes the open boat.

"What does this mean? Does it mean there are survivors inside?" Huzi looked at Luo Rui and asked in English.

"I don't know, I've never seen this happen, but there is a heat source in the iceberg, about 100 to 300 meters away." Luo Rui shook his head, his eyes a little confused.

"How many people can create such a large heat source range? What do you think of this picture?" Xiao Hu was confused.

"The heat source is the direction in which the temperature penetrates the iceberg and is detected. It has nothing to do with the size of the range, but generally it will not have such a large range, because it means there are many heat sources, many directions, or even an entire direction."

Rory couldn't explain the picture at all.
