"What's wrong?" Zhang Yanfeng looked at Lü Shu. He was a little distracted. He did not know Lü Shu's identity, so he did not know how surprised Lü Shu was when he saw Luo Nan's work photo when he walked into the base.
The base was made up of three mobile houses that were arranged in a triangular shape. There was an oil-fired heating boiler next to the mobile houses. There was an empty space filled with neatly stacked cans.
Lü Shu shook his head. "You guys come to the wilderness often. Can you tell how long this place has been abandoned?"
"I can't tell." Zhang Yanfeng said, "It's fine if it's a place I'm familiar with. I can tell how long it's been abandoned just by touching it and seeing how much dust there is. But this is my first time here, so I don't have any basic information to analyze."
"Okay, wait for me," Lü Shu said. He walked into the mobile house.
"Aren't you afraid that Wang Zhe will get there first?" Zhang Yanfeng was a little confused.
"He's going to die," Lü Shu said calmly.
Zhang Yanfeng was a little surprised. Back when Lv Shu joined the team, he had clearly stated that he was coming to Death Valley. If Lv Shu was just an ordinary person, Zhang Yanfeng would not have thought too much about it. However, Lv Shu was clearly not an ordinary person. So, since Lv Shu was here for Death Valley, he must know more than Zhang Yanfeng.
Something must have happened here to provoke a strange young man like Lü Shu.
Lü Shu opened every drawer in the mobile house, trying to find some useful clues. He found a survey log, but he discovered that it was filled with unimportant things. It seemed that the people in the survey station had never received the order to enter Death Valley. They were just here to inspect the mutated creatures.
Lü Shu looked at the date. The last time it was recorded was four months ago.
Then everyone here vanished from the face of the earth. Only Luo Nan remained.
Lü Shu thought for a moment and said, "Let's rest here for a bit. There are some things I need to sort out."
The blue light in the sky above the Kunlun Void was still swaying. The black mountain was like an abyss.
Originally, Lü Shu had planned to enter the mountain that very night to see what was going on. In the end, it was put on hold because of Luo Nan's matter. He wanted to think about what was going on in the end.
There was no such thing as Luo Nan's work ID. The work photo was a group photo of over twenty people. Truth be told, Lü Shu had no way of confirming whether or not Luo Nan was the C-rank expert stationed at this survey base. If Luo Nan was also working in this wasteland, it would make sense for him to take a photo with everyone. Lü Shu stuffed his work photo into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers so that no one could see it.
Zhang Yanfeng didn't ask any more questions. He went to start the boiler, which was equipped with a generator. It was already late June, but because of the altitude, it was still very cold, especially at night.
Not far away, the snow on the Kunlun Void did not melt. At this moment, snow suddenly floated down from the sky.
The temperature in the makeshift house gradually rose. This small survey base was like a warm safe house. Everyone's mood became a little more relaxed.
Lü Shu stood at the door of the makeshift house and stared at the Kunlun Void in a daze. The others stayed in the makeshift house and took off their coats. Wang Yan's husband kept apologizing to Wang Yan, but it seemed that Wang Yan had no intention of accepting it. After all, being left behind during a matter of life and death was still a big shadow.
Zhang Yanfeng boiled a pot of water on the stove in the makeshift house. The boiling point of water on the plateau was very low, but under normal circumstances, most bacteria could be killed at around 70 degrees. In theory, some high-temperature resistant bacteria had to be boiled to 100 degrees in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes before they could be completely killed. However, there was no need to pay so much attention to this in the wilderness.
Zhang Yanfeng handed a cup of hot water to Lü Shu. He looked at the wilderness illuminated by the blue light and sighed. "It's so beautiful. The first time I crossed this place on foot, it was a friend who brought me along. At that time, when I saw the vast starry sky and the wilderness, I knew that I belonged here. It's not common to see snow in June in the mainland. It would have been great if they had brought alcohol. What's the saying in the poem, 'When the night comes, the sky wishes for snow, and it brings forth a cup of wine … What's the second half? "
Lü Shu pondered for two seconds. "A cup of wine for the driver, and two lines of tears for the loved ones?"
"Negative emotion points from Zhang Yanfeng, + 666!"
Zhang Yanfeng choked for a long time before suddenly asking, "Why do you always ponder for two seconds?"
"Skill countdown," Lü Shu said calmly as he looked into the distance without even turning his head. His expression was that of a lonely expert.
"Negative emotion points from Zhang Yanfeng, + 66!"
Zhang Yanfeng did not feel good. So, you really think of disgusting people as a skill!
Lü Shu suddenly turned to Zhang Yanfeng and said, "You should have a satellite phone with you, right?"
It was impossible for someone like him, who often crossed the wilderness on foot, to not have a satellite phone. Zhang Yanfeng took out a satellite phone from his backpack in the makeshift house and handed it to Lü Shu. Lü Shu walked to the side to make the call.
The reason why Zhang Yanfeng was so cooperative with Lü Shu was that ever since they met the giant bear, Lü Shu had given him a very mysterious feeling. This kind of unfathomable young man was worth investing in.
However, he was not too sure who this young man was.
After Lü Shu returned, he handed the satellite phone to Zhang Yanfeng. "Rest here for two days and wait for my teammates."
Zhang Yanfeng was stunned for a moment. "Are your teammates nearby?"
"No, they're in Qingzhou's provincial capital," Lü Shu said.
"Then they'll probably take five or six days to get here." Zhang Yanfeng calculated the distance. They had been walking for four days in the Kumu Kuri Desert and another five days to get here. Even if the young man's teammates were also cultivators, it would still take five or six days to get here.
"No need, two days is enough." When Lü Shu said this, it seemed like it was a matter of course. It seemed like he was not worried at all that his teammates would not be able to arrive in two days.
How strong must this teammate be to be able to do this?
Zhang Yanfeng, who had always felt that Lü Shu was unfathomable, suddenly felt that he might have underestimated Lü Shu's strength in the past!
Someone suddenly walked out and asked, "What are we going to do next?"
"Rest here for three days. There are also canned food here. I have seen that the canned food has a long shelf life, and there is enough diesel in the generator," Zhang Yanfeng said.
"Why don't we just go back the way we came? What's the point of staying here?" Wang Yan stood at the door and suddenly said.
"You can go back on your own," Lü Shu said calmly. "No one is stopping you."
After saying that, he walked in the direction of Kunlun Void. Before he left, he said to Zhang Yanfeng, "I'm going to take a walk. Don't follow me. That's not a place you can go."
Zhang Yanfeng did not refute. He knew that he would only be a burden if he followed. Although he planned to ride on Lü Shu's coattails, he could not risk his life.
