Chapter 5 Chapter 4 The Gray Cat Project

The four of them stayed in the hearth for a while, when suddenly there was a violent impact sound outside, and Ai Kaila cursed: "Who smashed the iron door?" Yuan Sen looked out through the transparent object, and there were many stains on it. Two people stood on the iron frame, smashing the door with gun butts, and shouting something in their mouths. The sound insulation effect of the iron stove is very good, and the shouts from outside did not come in at all.However, Yuan Sen could recognize their appearance, they were one of the group of people who clashed with him in Hedi Night Market, probably the only two left.

Kang Basa said: "Mr. Yuan, do you want to let them in?" Ai Kaila said woodenly: "Let it go, didn't we discuss to pry something out of their mouths?" Yuan Sen continued to stare at their actions, and said, "Let it go." Wang Hui said: "No, you see they are so nervous, they may be being chased by invisible beasts, if they let them in rashly, they will also bring the invisible beasts in, and the consequences will be disastrous." After being reminded by Wang Hui, Ai Kailam immediately came to his senses and said, "Assistant Wang is right, if we put the invisible beast in, none of the four of us will be enough for that monster to make tooth sacrifices, no, no, no."

Yuan Sen said: "I advocate letting them in. The clues are on them and cannot be broken." Kangbasa looked at Yuan Sen and then at Wang Hui, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.Kangbasa has a dull and straightforward personality, and he doesn't know how to ease the conflict. Kang Basa stood there in a daze, Yuan Sen walked over to open the door, Ai Kailam suddenly screamed and said, "Don't open, look, the invisible beast has appeared." Ai Kailamu's words were like a bolt from the blue, he yelled loudly against the transparent window, and other people surrounded him.There were only two fire balls dancing around outside the window. The faces of the two big men were hideously frightened by the light of the fire. They danced wildly towards the top of the iron stove with torches.Due to the limitation of the transparent window, the visibility was limited, and they couldn't see the appearance of the beast clearly. There were only two groups of black shadows dancing rapidly in the firelight, and the faces of the two big men were even more distorted.

They fought for a while, and a big man bumped into the iron furnace wall, and the torch fell under the iron frame, and the other torch was quickly extinguished, and it was suddenly dark outside.The hearts of the people were beating wildly. Without the torches, the wild beasts had no scruples, and they tore people apart in a few strokes. Akaila said woodenly: "What should I do?" Regardless of Wang Hui's obstruction, Yuan Sen insisted on opening the iron gate.He took down the iron latch and opened the door a small crack. The hissing of wild animals came in through the crack of the iron gate, which made people's ears numb and their hearts ache.

There was a black shadow on the iron wall outside the door. Yuan Sen swept it with a flashlight, and it caught the blood on most of the man's face.The man turned his back and shot randomly at the things above his head. The bullet casings fell on the iron shelf with a tinkling sound, and the beast roared and roared on the iron stove top. Yuan Sen yelled at the man: "Come in, come in if you want to survive—" After the man finished shooting the bullets, he turned around and rushed towards him. Yuan Sen grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into the iron gate. Kang Basa pressed the door panel and clasped it with his backhand, closing the door tightly.

As soon as the man entered the door, he knelt down to several people, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "Thank you, brothers, for saving my little brother's life. I will definitely repay you for your kindness and virtue after I go out." Yuan Sen instructed Kang Basa to bandage the man's wound. The man's neck, chest, abdomen, hands and feet were all wounded, and the flesh was torn to pieces in many places, but they were all flesh wounds. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were in good condition. family. Kang Basa asked him to sit against the hearth wall, and the big man completely lost his prestige in the river bank night market.Kang Basa put medicine on him and bandaged him. He saw the four people in the hearth clearly and was taken aback. He said, "Why are you?"

Ai Kaila said awkwardly: "Grandson, what a surprise?" The big man lowered his head. Yuan Sen stared at him and said, "I know that people don't speak dark words. We saved your life. We need your cooperation. Otherwise, you will continue to go out and feed the beasts." That man was not a coward. He met Yuan Sen's gaze and said, "I, Chen Laohei, am not an ordinary Jiang Hu person. I am not afraid of being frightened. I, Chen, know how to repay my kindness. You saved me, as long as Chen can do it." Of course, I will do it for you, if you don’t have this ability, there is nothing Chen can do.”

Yuan Sen nodded and said, "How many of you who came to Glacier are still alive?" Chen Laohei sighed, and said: "It's a damn shame, I shouldn't be greedy for this money. When I came to the glacier, a group of brothers were all lost. Except for a few supporters, even the people allocated to us by the investor They're all dead." Yuan Sendao: "Let me tell you, all the people who responded to you are dead. The corpses were found in the helicopter, which is exactly the same as the death of the Kuomintang soldiers here. Do you know the reason?" Chen Laohei stared, his eyeballs almost fell out, he didn't believe Yuan Sen's words, and said: "You said that the people in the plane didn't escape?"

Ai Kaila said: "You arranged to kill our grandson in the forest, and he was also killed by the invisible beast, leaving no one alive. Bite your stomach, pull your intestines, and tie a knot in the middle. Hehe, it’s up to you not to believe it.” Chen Laohei's face changed drastically, this news made him completely collapsed, he beat his head frantically, wanted to cry without tears, and said: "It's broken, it's all broken, there's nothing left, that's my own brother -" "You can't live either!" Kang Basa suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Chen Laohei's forehead.

Yuan Sen was taken aback, and said, "Kangbasa, what are you going to do?" Kang Basa said: "Mr. Yuan, have you forgotten the purpose of our pursuit here? He must die." Old Chen was confused, he looked at Kang Basa, and said: "Remember, you are the young man who was tied up in the wooden house by us, didn't you burn to death?" Kang Basa said: "I'm not dead, you have to die." Yuan Sen pressed Kangbasa's gun and said, "Kangbasa, don't worry, we still have a lot of doubts to ask him. Anyway, he is in our hands, so it's not too late."

Kang Basa suppressed his anger, and said fiercely: "I listen to Mr. Yuan, remember the revenge of killing the old wizard first, and you will suffer later." Yuan Sen said: "I want to know who sent you to find the tomb of God Hambar Ata?" Chen Laohei thought for a moment, and said: "We never ask about the identity of the employer, as long as they give us money, we do things. This time the employer is a big boss, and it's the first time I've seen his magnanimity in my life. He's worth millions when he makes a move." Pay the check in advance, don’t talk much, and leave after explaining the task. He asked us to find a temple hidden under the glacier of the Altai Mountains, as long as we confirm the location of the temple, we can go and get the rest of the money.” "Why is it a temple?" Yuan Sen looked at Kangbasa.Wang Hui had been listening to their conversation quietly, but now she also cast her eyes on Kangbasa, very puzzled. Kang Basa was at a loss, and said, "The temple? It should be the tomb of the god." Yuan Sen said, "What does your employer call this temple?" Without hesitation, Chen Laohei said: "It's the Temple of Hambar Ata. He emphasized that with my ability, breaking in would mean death. I think he is threatening me. I have contacted many such bosses, afraid that we will violate the contract." , just use this method to get vaccinated, I am not interested in temples, I am interested in money, so I don’t care at all.” Yuan Sen said: "The names match, it is the difference between the tomb of the gods and the temple, I don't know what the mystery is." Wang Huidao: "Chen Laohei, the beast you are fighting with, have you seen its appearance clearly?" Chen Laohei said: "Those are two snow leopards, no—to be precise, the ones fighting with us are two snow leopards, and there are more than ten snow leopards watching under the iron frame." "Snow leopard?" The four of them were a little stunned. They were no strangers to this feline animal. It was cunning, ferocious, and rare, and it was also a symbol of high-altitude snow-capped mountains, because it only appeared above the snow line.But they have never heard of snow leopards attacking people stealthily and using patterned methods to kill people. Ai Kailam jumped up, pointed a gun at Chen Laohei's head, and shouted: "Grandson, who are you lying to? Believe it or not, I shot you down? You are a fool, can the snow leopard become invisible? The snow leopard will Knotting human intestines? Or should I throw you down and let Snow Leopard demonstrate it to us?" Yuan Sen pulled Ai Kailamu away and said, "Ai Kailamu, what are you doing?" Ai Kaila said in a wooden voice: "The fake foreign devil wants to play me, but he has no way. Anyway, I am also the master who gallops in the northern and southern borders and is famous in the Tianshan Mountains. He doesn't think about it." Yuan Sen interrupted Ai Kailamu and turned to Chen Laohei, "Are you sure it's a snow leopard?" Chen Laohei was very sure, and said: "Everyone, I, Chen Laohei, have done things all my life for money. Although this point is disdainful by Taoists, money belongs to money. Chen Laohei always says the same thing. It is a snow leopard or a snow leopard. There is no need for Old Hei to deceive you." The invisible beast that Chen Laohei killed was the snow leopard, so it must be true.The snow peaks of the Altai Mountains have been the home of snow leopards since ancient times, but it is a bit strange for snow leopards to drill under the glacier.Not to mention that people come and go like the wind, killing people is bound to kill, and the methods are exactly the same, never changing, these snow leopards will definitely not be able to do it. Chen Laohei said: "My dead brothers disappeared silently one by one. The bodies found were just like those of Kuomintang soldiers. I suspect it was a curse. This place is very strange. I ran into a snow leopard, which is Half an hour ago, the snow leopard saw us and jumped on it, killing one of my brothers on the spot, and another brother and I hid on the iron stove, but the other brother was torn to pieces by the snow leopard jumping off the iron stove." Wang Huidao: "It is certain that the invisible beast is not a snow leopard, it has not really manifested yet." Chen Laohei nodded and said: "The snow leopards kill people first, and then the snow leopards gather to tear up the corpses. It is completely different from the mysterious beasts that killed the Kuomintang soldiers." There was no more fire outside the iron furnace. Yuan Sen guessed that the snow leopard had left, so he opened the iron door a little, and suddenly a force rushed over. Before Yuan Sen could react, he was knocked to the ground.Chen Laohei shouted: "Hurry up and hold the door, it's a snow leopard, the snow leopard is about to rush in, hurry up!" Kang Basa and Ai Kailamu rushed towards the iron gate in a hurry.Wang Hui faced the snow leopard sideways and fired several shots before forcing the snow leopard to retreat.Kambasa slammed the door shut, Ekira locked the latch, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Sen hadn't slowed down for a long time and was dizzy. Ai Kailam complained that he was too impulsive and almost let the snow leopard in.Yuan Sen glared at him, and said, "We have to find a way to get out, we'll just stay here and wait for death." "You don't have to wait to die, just look outside." Wang Hui pointed out the transparent window. There was a fire outside, dim, like the light of a torch, the light was under the iron frame, and the snow leopard on the iron frame had disappeared. Yuan Sen was hesitant, and Kang Basa said joyfully, "Is it Dad and my people?" He went to open the door.In order to prevent the snow leopard from attacking in the dark, Yuan Sen and Ai Kaila stood guard at the door, opening a gap to see the outside, if the snow leopard took the opportunity to break the door, they would be shot into a sieve. They opened the iron gate and found that there was nothing behind it. There were more than twenty strong men holding torches standing under the iron furnace. They were the warriors led by Burke. Cambasa stepped out of the iron stove and waved to his father.Burke turned around and saw Combasa, with a smile on his face, but there was an undisguised depression. Both Yuan Sen and Wang Hui saw his expression, and they looked at each other, vaguely aware that Burke was in trouble.They got off the iron stove, and Kang Basa briefly described to his father what happened after they broke up, and pointed to Chen Laohei and explained the situation again. Listening to their conversation, Chen Laohei was ashamed of fright. Kambasa handed the gun to Burke, Burke played with it, and then returned the gun to Kambasa, saying: "He can't die now, let's take him out, let him confess in front of the old wizard, and let his soul die." To be forgiven by God Hambar-Ata in the fire." Hearing these words, Chen Laohei's face was frighteningly pale.Ai Kaila winked at Chen Laohei's joke. Yuan Sen cupped his hands at Burke and said, "Lord Burke, take Chen Laohei out, have you completed your task of maintaining the tomb of the gods?" Burke sighed, and said: "No one in our family has been to the glacier for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that the tomb of the gods would become like this. It's because of Burke's dereliction of duty. We only know to abide by the legacy of our ancestors—there is no urgency. Don’t come to Glacier, I didn’t expect the tomb of the gods to be ruined like this.” Yuan Sen nodded, pointed at the corpses of the Kuomintang soldiers and said, "Then, Lord Burke, do you want to destroy these?" Burke: "It doesn't matter what is dead. We have to kill a living person. He is our most important target." The four of them were taken aback, and said, "What else?" Burke said: "That's right, that person was wearing the uniform of the Kuomintang army and shot and killed many warriors in our tribe with an old-fashioned rifle. We have been chasing us all the way here." "Chen Laohei, did you miss other people?" Yuan Sen yelled at Chen Laohei, he hated the feeling of being deceived. Chen Laohei was frightened and hurriedly defended, saying: "No—really not—the only one of us left is me—" "Is it real?" Chen Laohei swears, it is absolutely true, all the people he brought died under his own eyes, and there is absolutely no one else except him. Seeing that he doesn't look like he's lying, Yuan Sen's heart suddenly hangs, there are others, who could it be? Burke and the others were attracted by the news of the snow leopard pounced on the murderer, and after confirming that Chen Laohei was not the person they were looking for, they continued to walk deep into the cave.The wizard whistled to drive the snow leopards to go ahead, and beside him was a strong man holding a torch, and the snow leopards followed the rhythm of the whistle, completely losing the prestige of wild beasts.Outsiders like Yuan Sen were amazed. Burke said: "There is a secret passage between the place where the snow leopards live and the underground of the glacier. These snow leopards were domesticated more than a thousand years ago. The wizard taught them to be gentle and kind, and taught them to protect the tomb of the gods from being invaded. Our tribe There is a ban here, no one is allowed to enter the tomb of the god without authorization, and the snow leopards are usually the loyal guards of the god Hambar Ata." The snow leopards walked slowly, and the last snow leopard turned to look at Burke, as if it understood Burke's words, it raised its plum blossom claw on its foreleg and waved at Burke twice, then turned to join the team, followed by its companions. pace. Burke laughed and said, "They are very spiritual, and understand what people are saying and thinking." The wizard drove the snow leopards into a state, and drove them quickly. In a few minutes, the snow leopards disappeared behind the curved mountain.The cave as a whole is closed, and Burke arranged for two groups of people to conduct a dragnet inspection in the opposite direction.They arranged the number of people properly and divided the guns between the two groups. Kambasa taught his fellows to shoot, and a young man was learning to aim with a gun.Suddenly two gunshots came from behind the arc-shaped mountain, and the snow leopard group was in a mess, roaring and roaring endlessly, both panic and grief. Burke's face changed drastically, and he said, "That man appeared, two shots, two lives." The leading strong man gave a whistle and rushed out with a spear first. The crowd exploded, and the warriors were all as brave as leopards. They followed the leading strong man and rushed into the darkness.Yuan Sen was caught in the middle of the crowd, he turned to look at Chen Laohei, who was squeezed into a ball by two strong men.Yuan Sen was suspicious, what was the origin of the killer in front of him? The snow leopard herd was not far from them, less than a hundred meters away.The corpses of the animal trainer and his companions were surrounded by snow leopards, each with a bullet on their foreheads, and half of their faces were drenched in blood. Burke walked among the snow leopards and closed the corpse's eyes.A small snow leopard kept rubbing against Burke's legs.Burke stroked its head, tears streaming down his face.Little Snow Leopard raised his head, and there were tears in his eyes.Yuan Sen was amazed. It's unbelievable that the animal trainer and the snow leopards had such a deep relationship just after they met. After a while, the little snow leopard left the snow leopard group and walked forward alone. Burke became puzzled, and it was difficult for the people around him to understand what the little snow leopard was going to do.Little Snow Leopard looked back frequently, Burke seemed to understand what it meant, and followed. Ai Kaila asked: "What is Little Snow Leopard going to do?" Yuan Sen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "I guess the little snow leopard knows where the murderer is hiding, and it wants to lead us. The leopard's sense of smell is unquestionable." Ai Kailam was overjoyed, and said: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, the old man will suffer if he doesn't have a gun, so follow up." Several men with guns catch up to Burke.After the little snow leopard led Burke around the arc-shaped cave wall for half a circle, it suddenly got into a crack in the cave wall.The rock crevice is so small that it can only accommodate a snow leopard or a person.Burke followed the little snow leopard, and Kangbasa was worried about his father's safety, and followed him closely with his gun raised. The entrance to the rock crevice is more than ten meters long, and people are crowded inside and almost deformed, but the back is much wider, and it is easy for a person to walk alone.The group walked in the rock crevice for more than ten minutes, and found a round hole in the crack of the rock crevice, like a Buddhist hall. The size of the round hole is only tens of square meters. There is a niche on the wall of the cave, and there are clay statues on the niche.After Yuan Sen saw the statue, he almost swallowed his tongue forcefully.The clay statue was sitting upright, with both hands in a pose, the left hand was bent into a fist, the eyes of the fist were facing upwards, the three fingers of the right hand were spread out, and the remaining two fingers were curled up.This posture is almost exactly the same as Tang Jiang who is sitting in the underground space of Turpan. When Burke saw the clay statue, he fell down and worshiped, and shouted: "Great God Hambar Ata, your golden body is as dazzling as the sun, guiding my tribe to the direction of light—" Yuan Sen said to Kangbasa: "Kangbasa, is your god Hambar Ata like this? Do you still remember those corpses in the underground space in Turpan?" Kang Basa nodded, his face was very serious, he said to Yuan Sen: "Mr. Yuan, I never thought that the relationship between our tribe and the Qieri people would be so close." The little snow leopard didn't stop when it reached the middle of the hole. It bit Burke's trouser leg, pulled him to the clay statue, and pouted at the clay statue. Burke's eyes widened, and he said, "Little Snow Leopard, you mean that the killer of the wizard is hiding behind the statue?" Little Snow Leopard seemed to understand the words, nodded desperately, and let out a deep roar.Kang Basa gave Yuan Sen a look, and the four guns aimed at the clay statue at the same time. Yuan Sen shouted: "Friend, come out, there is no way to hide, there are four guns pointing at you here." Ai Kailam sang with him, and said: "Bah, you bastard, firing black guns indiscriminately, even my master can't stand it anymore. If I don't take you today, how will my master mess around in the road in the future? Come down quickly, so that I don't need to do it. " They shouted and cursed indiscriminately, but there was still no movement behind the clay statue.Ai Kaila scolded: "The stinky shameless refused to come down. He probably knelt down indiscriminately when he saw old Burke come in, thinking that we dare not move the statue, but Mr. Ai just didn't believe it. He smashed the statue first." After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up to the alcove, but was held back by Burke. Burke said anxiously, "Don't disturb God Hambar-Ata. Kangbasa, let's go and lift the statue down." Burke and Combasa carefully lifted the clay statue down.The little snow leopard leaped lightly into the alcove, raised its leg and kicked away the stone slab behind the alcove, revealing a square opening with a dark and deep hole inside.Little Snow Leopard turned his head to look at Burke, and got into the hole. Ai Kailamu shook his head at everyone and said, "Did you dare to yell at us for a long time, did you play yourself like a monkey?" Everyone followed the little snow leopard into the deep hole, and the little snow leopard wailed very softly, as if telling the people behind that they hadn't noticed any danger. Everyone is relieved.The agility of the snow leopard far exceeds that of humans, and it is much more effective to let it find the way than to find people by themselves. The light beams of the three flashlights swayed in the deep cave, and the little snow leopard walked briskly under the light beams. It smelled here and there sometimes.Suddenly, it stopped tens of meters away. Several people raised their vigilance and rushed over to find the corpses of two Kuomintang soldiers lying on the ground. These corpses were no different from those outside. Yuan Sen said: "We saw no less than a hundred corpses along the way. The Kuomintang army must have made such a big commotion. The purpose must not be simple, and there may be military factors in it. Lord Burke, you don't know the inside story at all?" Burke shook his head and said: "People in the clan haven't been to the glacier for hundreds of years, and the safety of the god's tomb has always been guarded by the snow leopard group. If we know that the great god Hambar-Ata has been harassed, our clansmen will fight to the death." will throw them out." Burke was angry and angry, and Yuan Sen felt that his appearance was a bit strange, and it was not easy to get to the bottom of it, so he could only smile and dismiss him, but he was extra cautious in his heart.Little Snow Leopard walked around the two corpses for a while, and found some corpses ahead.These corpses held working tools in their hands, and the picks beside them were filled with frozen coal.Wang Hui took a look and could tell that these were coals of extremely high purity. Passing through the cave, there is a large open cave in front of it. This cave is bigger than the one outside, and it has a feeling of boundlessness. The flashlight can't reach the end and the end, and the surrounding area is very open. In front of the big cave, there is an extremely wide river, about ten meters long.The river course is dry, and the flashlight can illuminate the trend of the river course going downward rapidly, with a very steep slope.This slope is easy to form turbulent water. Five people went down the river.The little snow leopard walked in the front. It sniffed the river floor left and right, put its head on the ground from time to time and bent its ears to listen carefully. It looked like a human being.Everyone didn't know what tricks this little thing was doing, and they couldn't ask it, they could only follow behind it. They walked for a while and went down several slopes. Suddenly, the little snow leopard stood still, pressed its head firmly on the ground and listened for a while.Burke walked past the little snow leopard, not paying attention to its abnormality.The little snow leopard jumped up strangely, and when everyone was in a daze, suddenly bit Burke's trouser leg, dragged it and ran towards the river bank. Burke didn't know why, and was staggered by it, almost falling to the ground.Little Snow Leopard dragged Burke ashore, and then ran back to drag Kambasa and Yuan Sen. The two wanted to refuse, but they didn't understand what this little thing was going to do, and they were confused by it. Burke ran down again and hugged the little snow leopard's neck, stroked its hair, and beckoned it to be quiet.Unexpectedly, the little snow leopard became irritable when he saw that he couldn't drag the person. It jumped up and rushed at the person, making a shrill cry.No matter how Burke tried to calm it down, it jumped up and down, tore Burke's fur coat with its sharp claws, and pushed him to the ground. Wang Huidao: "The situation is not right, Little Snow Leopard desperately drove us ashore, he must have found something." Little Snow Leopard saw that it was useless to procrastinate and howl, so he simply put his head on Burke's buttocks and walked forward. Everyone finally understood what it meant, and no longer resisted, they all went ashore.They all went to the river bank, and the little snow leopard returned to normal. It arched everyone's legs and circled around, flirting and flattering, it was indescribably docile. Yuan Sen held up the flashlight to check the upper reaches of the river. Except for the dry river, it was still a river, and there was nothing that could threaten them. Ai Kailam patted the little Snow Leopard's head, and said: "Brother Yuan, do you think this little beast has a convulsion? Why did you drive us ashore? There are many broken stones on the river bank, and it's not easy to walk. The little beast is really good." It will upset people." Little Snow Leopard seemed to understand Ai Kailamu's words, jumped more than two meters high, put his legs on Ai Kailamu's shoulders, and roared.Ai Kailam suddenly fell half short, knelt on the broken stone with his knees, his face was pale, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness. As they were tossing, there was a loud explosion deep in the cave, like a landslide.The bank trembled beneath their feet.Ai Kailam was crushed by the little snow leopard and lay on the ground. He begged for mercy indiscriminately. The little snow leopard looked at the upper reaches of the river with confused eyes. The rumbling sound came from far and near, and soon, the tumbling flood rushed over from the depths of darkness.They didn't wake up until the icy water splashed on everyone.That's right, there is really a flood under the glacier, and the urgency of the water flow is unimaginable. Looking at the posture, ten steaks together will be washed away by the waves.After a while, a vast expanse of white water appeared on the river. Yuan Sen couldn't believe his eyes, he was very dazed, and said, "How can there be running water under the glacier? It's not the warm season now, even if the glacier melts in midsummer, it's hard to form such a big water in a short time?" Neither Burke nor Combasa could answer Yuan Sen's question, and they were also very puzzled. This was an impossible phenomenon before. The little snow leopard was attracted by the water waves, so it let go of Ekaila wood, jumped to the bank, and stuck its head into the river to drink.Ai Kailamu struggled for a long time before getting up, and cursed: "Little bastard, dare to bully me, wait until you get out of the glacier, and see how I deal with you." After the little Snow Leopard drank enough water, he jumped to Burke's feet and acted like a baby.Ai Kaila had a shadow in his heart, so he avoided it far away.Everyone was looking at the upper reaches of the river and had no time to laugh at him. Yuan Sen said to Kangbasa: "Kangbasa, bring your infrared telescope." Kangbasa pulled out the telescope and handed it to Yuan Sen.Yuan Sen looked at it for a while, and his eyes jumped. He thought he was wrong, and rubbed his eyes again. Yes, there seemed to be light in the upper reaches of the river, it was a faint light, hazy like fog. The others noticed something was wrong and asked Yuan Sen what was going on.Yuan Sen handed the binoculars to Combasa, and said, "I see the light, it's not the beam of the flashlight, but a faint electric light." "Electric lights?" "That's right, it's an electric light." Combasa handed the infrared telescope to someone else, saying with certainty. The five people walked along the river bank for more than 200 meters, and a huge embankment appeared in front of it. At one end of the embankment was a building similar to a bunker, and faint lights were emitted from the building. When the river bank reaches the embankment, it rises abruptly, forming a very high slope. The slope is lined with smooth stone strips. It is difficult to climb up with bare hands, and only with the help of climbing ropes. Yuan Sen hooked the stones with an iron hook and fixed the rope. Wang Hui was using an infrared telescope to observe the movement in the bunker building. Yuan Sen said, "Did you find anything? Once the rope is tied, you can clearly see where the light comes from." Wang Hui said: "Don't move, someone is coming out." Yuan Sen was nervous for a while, and Wang Hui handed him the telescope.A sloping wall was built on the side of the bunker, and half of the bunker was blocked by the wall. They were in the lower reaches of the river bank and could only see part of the bunker.Through the window hole, Yuan Sen saw a black shadow shaking inside. The outline of the shadow was blurred, and it was hard to tell if it was a person. "You mean that shadow is a person?" Yuan Sen was puzzled. "He's been pulling the door, take a closer look," Wang Hui said. Yuan Sen came to his senses, the black shadow kept shaking, he dared to pull the door out, he shouted: "Go up quickly, the people in the bunker are about to escape." Afraid of being discovered by the shadows, everyone turned off the flashlights first, and then climbed up the half-slope. The field of vision was much wider, and a large part of the bunker could be seen.A faint light came out from behind the slanted wall, and in front of the slanted wall stood a person, motionless, not knowing what he was doing. Yuan Sen was startled when he saw that person right in front of him.Ai Kaila said: "He must be the guy who killed the beast tamer wizard. Kangbasa, you are the best marksman in our group, you can just shoot him down with one shot." Yuan Sen strongly objected: "I don't know who he is yet. There is a deviation in shooting from this angle. If you don't shoot correctly, you will startle the snake. If you shoot him dead, it will be even more troublesome." Ai Kailam snorted, and said: "Except for good people like us, everyone who appears here at this time has problems. It's a pity that my marksmanship is too bad." Several people murmured and discussed, but old Burke could no longer restrain himself, he swished up to the top of the slope.Ai Kailam exclaimed in surprise: "Kangbasa, look at your father." The man in front of the sloping wall suddenly turned his head and looked towards the slope.Old Burke drew his head back.I don't know if the man noticed someone below, he turned and walked up the river bank, and ran up the river. Old Burke rolled up to the top of the slope, and quickly chased after the man.Yuan Sen murmured that it was not good. The identity of that person was unknown. Old Burke would definitely suffer if he chased him like this. The man was not running fast, and the top of the slope was only tens of meters away from him. Old Burke was spotted by him before he jumped up and stood still.He turned his head and glanced behind him, as if he had been a thief, he ran like crazy.Old Burke didn't even catch his breath, and followed quickly. Yuan Sen climbed up to the top of the slope and saw that the two were gone, only the sound of footsteps.He used the flashlight to look for the sound and saw that the two were already a hundred meters away, and Burke fell more than ten meters away from the man.Old Burke has lived in the mountains all year round, and he can compete with wild beasts, but now he is behind him. This alone can prove that this man is not simple. Yuan Sen didn't have time to think, so he ran over quickly.Kang Basa, Wang Hui, and Ai Kailamu went up to the top of the slope one after another. A group of six people lined up in a "one" shape and started chasing on the river bank. There were chaotic footsteps in the dark space. The two people in front were so strong that Yuan Sen used all his strength to narrow the distance between himself and Old Burke to about 40 meters. The person in the front was walking like flying, and the flashlight could only illuminate his back.Yuan Sen heard Ai Kailam from behind him ask Kangbasa: "Kangbasa, where did the little animal snow leopard go? We just took the rope up by ourselves and left it at the bottom of the slope." Kang Basa said: "It has already gone up when we tied the climbing rope. It is a leopard, so it can't go up the slope at this point?" Ai Kailam murmured: "That's right, the little bastard is alive and well." The man in front ran fast, getting farther and farther away from these five people, and Old Burke was thrown off by him for a long distance. His figure was blurred into a silhouette in the flashlight, which was very unreal.Yuan Sen was anxious, he couldn't go on like this, and after another ten minutes of chasing, the man would have disappeared without a trace. While he was worrying, a beast roar suddenly sounded in the distance, scaring the person in front to stop immediately.A snow-white shadow jumped out from the darkness, the mysterious man was thrown to the ground, and it was Little Snow Leopard who threw him. Yuan Sen was overjoyed, he got excited all of a sudden, and ran faster, almost at the same time as Old Burke ran in front of the mysterious man.The little snow leopard pressed the mysterious man down, and opened its mouth to bite him. The mysterious man hugged the little snow leopard's neck and pressed it to the ground. The man and the beast fought each other, rolling in the gravel on the river bank.The mysterious man punched the little snow leopard until it screamed. Yuan Sen was surprised. Although the little Snow Leopard was fierce, this time he was at a disadvantage. Not only did he get punched a lot, the hair on his neck was also torn off a lot, which shows that the mysterious man's skills are not simple.Among the five of them, Kangbasa was the best in skill, and compared with the mysterious man, he was probably a bit worse. The mysterious man pressed the little snow leopard under him, pressed its paws with both hands, and hit its neck with its head, causing it to roll over in pain.Old Burke rushed to the front, and jumped over without saying a word, trying to hold down the mysterious man.The mysterious man reacted quickly, he moved slightly, and rolled on the spot, the old Burke threw himself into the air and fell to the ground, his face was covered in blood. Yuan Sen threw himself at the mysterious man, who turned around and ran away, Yuan Sen turned around to stop him again, the mysterious man slid like a loach, Yuan Sen missed both times.The mysterious man ran up the river bank. Little Snow Leopard rolled a few times on the spot, then jumped up to chase the mysterious man.The mysterious man didn't fight with it, and quickly avoided it, and finally he couldn't avoid it, and jumped into the white river. Yuan Sen didn't expect the mysterious person to do this, and Xiao Xuebao also jumped into the water.It swam very fast in the water, and after a while it swam to the side of the mysterious man and pushed him into the water.The snow leopard pressed down on the mysterious man until his head was submerged, and after a while he was pushed up by the mysterious man again.The mysterious man had an extra short knife in his hand. He opened the little snow leopard's mouth with one hand, and stabbed the little snow leopard with the other hand, causing a puddle of blood to float on the surface of the water. Ai Kailamu and the others chased to the river, and the little Snow Leopard's body was stained red with blood. He yelled, "The little bastard is suffering too. Damn it, there is someone who can cure it." Kambasa glared at him, and went to help his father up.Seeing that Little Snow Leopard was injured, Old Burke immediately jumped into the river. Kang Basa, Yuan Sen, Wang Hui, and Ai Kailamu all jumped in, and a group of people formed a circle to surround the mysterious man. Now it is early autumn, the temperature in northern Xinjiang is gradually getting colder, and the snowfall is larger than usual. The snowflakes fall into the snow basin and form snow crystals. Inferring that there is water in the river is an extremely absurd thing. Yuan Sen was soaked in the icy water, his thoughts were in a mess, and his whole body was wrapped in the biting icy water.The circle of five people gradually narrowed, and the mysterious man suddenly got up from the little snow leopard, turned his head and smiled sinisterly at Yuan Sen.A few beams of flashlights shone on the mysterious man's face. His face, which had been soaked in water for a long time, looked extremely pale and horrible. His facial features seemed to be distorted. Yuan Sen subconsciously took a few steps back. The mysterious man pushed the little snow leopard away and rushed towards Yuan Sen. Yuan Sen knew that he had a dagger in his hand, so he dodged it hastily.At this time, the water was rolling, and Yuan Sen felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He was kicked hard in the stomach, and then his head was pushed into the water again, and he drank a few sips of water.When he struggled up, the mysterious man had already swam away, and there were white waves rolling in the distance. Old Burke slapped himself hard on the forehead, heaved a long sigh, and the little Snow Leopard was next to him tightly. The people went ashore, found picks, wooden frames and other things on the shore, dismantled them, added a lot of coal, and lit a bonfire on the spot.They took off their animal skin jackets and roasted them, and ate some dry food and meat.小雪豹受的伤虽然不轻，却也不是致命伤，老伯克给它上了一层自制的止血药，又从自己身上撕了一些碎布给它包扎好，小雪豹趴在篝火边上打起盹来。 老伯克摸着它，它发出撒娇一样的“哞——哞——”声，眼皮略微抬起，也不睁开眼，自顾自享受着篝火的温暖。 袁森朝火堆里扔木柴，道：“你们看清楚那人的样子了吗？” 四人都摇头，艾凯拉木道：“没法看清楚，他扑向你的时候人都沉了，速度奇快，跟鬼影似的，怎么看？” 王慧道：“他是刻意不让我们看清他的脸，踢中你再泅水逃跑，动作异常连贯，一气呵成，肯定是事先设想好的。” 艾凯拉木拍着脑袋道：“人都见到了，为什么不让我们看脸？难道他是我们认识的人？” 袁森转头看向王慧，她裹着刚烤干的皮袄子，面色苍白，正盯着篝火出神。袁森心里一动，道：“王助理，你怎么看？” 王慧道：“一种可能是我们见过的人，另一种可能就是他有某种特殊的目的，刻意隐藏自己的行迹。” 袁森暗自寻思，认识的人里，谁会有这么好的身手呢？他跟神秘人几次碰面，严格来说，没有一次正面交过手，对方太强了，强得有点不可思议，以至他连对方的衣角都没碰上，面对面却连脸都没法看清楚，这个人到底会是谁呢？ 艾凯拉木突然一拍大腿，道：“伪特种兵，你们都想想，这家伙的身手跟那帮变态特种兵是不是特别像？连雪豹都扑不过他，你说他还是正常人吗？” 袁森回忆起在火焰山地下空间里的遭遇，神秘人的动作真的跟伪特种兵有某种相似的地方，那种相似他无法用证据来论证，只是一种感觉。这种感觉很真实，他甚至觉得神秘人和伪特种兵来自于同一个组织。 王慧道：“伪特种兵是失败了，但不是败在我们手里，而是地下空间本身。如果单论单兵作战能力，他们一个人可以徒手干掉我们四个人，我们根本不是他们的对手。” 袁森分析着地下空间与冰川的关系，暗道：“难道伪特种兵在地下空间里没有找到他们想要的东西，追到这里来了？” 王慧道：“伪特种兵背后的实力到底有多大，没人能猜到，我们能找到这里，他们肯定也能。” 袁森明白，在冰川下面发现伪特种兵的踪迹，就意味着他们选择的方向没错。哈木巴尔阿塔神墓已经和火焰山地下空间牢牢地绑在一起了。也许在地下空间没有解开的秘密，在神墓里就能找到答案。 大家烤干了衣服，就熄了篝火。他们折回河岸堤坝上，碉堡建筑里的灯光从斜墙后面射出来，在这庞大到无极限的地下世界里，显得幽深神秘，碉堡建筑笼罩着一层特殊的光芒。 袁森和康巴萨从斜墙入口一前一后进去，过了斜墙的拐角，七八米远就是碉堡建筑的大门。那是一扇铁门，门关得很紧，只从微小的缝隙里透出丝丝黄光。 袁森推了推门，紧闭的铁门哗啦一声，竟然开了，袁森微愣了一下，扭头看康巴萨，康巴萨冲他点点头，两人退到门柱后面躲起来。 他们等了片刻，门内没有动静。艾凯拉木在外面嚷嚷：“袁小哥，发现什么了？怎么没动静了？” 康巴萨缩着身体，以极快的速度钻进铁门，袁森从另一个角出来，学着康巴萨的样子钻进对面一角。他没有专业的军事素养，关键时刻照葫芦画瓢，总不会错的。 里面是一间屋子，确切地说，是一间铁屋。屋内的墙壁不是用简单的铁皮做的，而是实心铸铁，从铸铁之间的切割线就可以看出来，足有半截拇指那么厚。 铁屋子顶上吊着一排电灯泡，共有十二个。这些灯泡比普通灯泡大十倍以上，上面落着一层黑色的灰，灯泡里射出来的光朦朦胧胧的，像被遮住了似的。 康巴萨看呆了，道：“果然是电灯？” 袁森道：“一路上我都看了，这条河道是人工挖的，将铁炉子、河道、电灯联系在一起，也就不奇怪了吧。国民党大部队进入冰川建大工程，黑灯瞎火的，这么多人怎么干活？所以他们先挖一条引水河，让河流改变气候，再在河上修水坝，蓄水发电，以供里里外外施工。这么古老的灯泡，估计只有博物馆里才有吧？” 康巴萨摸着脑袋，百思不得其解，道：“袁先生，河道一直是干的，这会儿才有水，那这些灯应该也是才打开的。” 袁森看着头顶上的古董电灯，回忆神秘人从这里走出来的情景，道：“引水发电难道是神秘人一手操作的？各个机组作业运转，正常发电，这是非常烦琐的事情，如果这些真是那个人做的，那他对这一套系统一定非常熟悉。” 康巴萨把铁屋子观察了一番，由于职业素养的关系，他开始检查屋子里的铁壁。他把三面铁壁逐一敲打了一番，在正对铁门那面铁壁上发现了问题，铁壁角落里有一扇一人高的小铁门。他推开门，里面摆了一屋子机器，有大有小，很大一部分还盖着绿色帐篷，显得很神秘。 袁森走到铁屋另一个角落去了。康巴萨低声道：“袁先生，我发现了一个隔间，里面有许多机器。” “机器？”袁森急忙跑到康巴萨这边，道，“难道都是发电机？” 他看着机器上的绿帆布和厚厚的灰尘，又道：“不对，还没启动呢，就算是发电机，也不是现在使用的这一批。” 他百思不得其解，走到小铁屋中间，屋子里到处都是灰尘，在里面一走动，满屋子灰尘乱飞。机器上的尘土有一尺来厚，这些都在证明，很久没人来过这里了。 屋子里的机器形状怪异，袁森一个都不认识，他围着屋子转了一圈，没有找出一丝线索来证明这些机器的用途。他正在疑惑，外面突然传来艾凯拉木的呵斥声，“什么人鬼鬼祟祟的？当老子瞎子呢？”接着就是两声枪响。 袁森急忙飞奔出去，艾凯拉木他们躲在堤坝后面正朝大坝上乱射，大坝很宽，黑漆漆的，寒风吹得人心里发凉，也不知道对面是什么人。袁森心里怦怦乱跳，猜不到对面究竟是谁。双方子弹乱飞，大坝上射来的子弹非常精准，这边的人一露头，那边就发射一颗子弹，子弹追着人打。艾凯拉木他们好一阵手忙脚乱。 袁森、康巴萨走“之”字形路线，溜到艾凯拉木藏身的地方，袁森低声道：“艾凯拉木，对面开枪的人是谁？” 艾凯拉木缩回脑袋，骂道：“孙子好枪法，这家伙是从大坝上跑来的，老子也没看清楚他是谁。老子眼尖，用手电一扫，看到有人来了，二话不说就迎头射出去一串子弹，这当口哪有好人，先开枪总不会错，就跟他对射起来了。” 大坝上那家伙的枪法奇好，袁森这边熄了手电，他听风判断位置，把艾凯拉木和王慧的枪压得死死的，两人连喘气的工夫都没有。如果是白天，他们两人恐怕撑不过三分钟。 康巴萨捡起一个弹壳，缩在角落里看了看，道：“袁先生，那人用的是中正式步枪！” “中正式？”袁森差点儿被一口气噎死。 那得是多老的枪啊，那是国民党军队在抗战时期所用的主要武器，那家伙居然用这种老枪来跟他们对射，更重要的是，这些枪在地下放置了半个世纪，还能用吗？ 艾凯拉木又开了几枪，抱怨道：“没法打了，黑灯瞎火的，没目标，你说对面是不是人啊，这么黑，他怎么能瞄得这么准呢？” 康巴萨道：“你们谁拿一下手电筒，我来打。只要有光，我就能射中。” 艾凯拉木道：“你枪法厉害，那孙子也不赖，一开手电，没照到他人，自己就先挨枪子了，你的红外线望远镜呢？” 康巴萨无奈，道：“这里温度太低，红外线望远镜起不了作用。” 袁森道：“我来拿手电，我已经判断出他的大概位置了，手电光一亮，康巴萨就射击，要快！” 康巴萨点了点头。袁森找了一个隐蔽的位置，离艾凯拉木有一段距离，他把手电筒平放在堤坝水平线上，调整好位置，按下开关，一道光柱沿着大坝射到很远的地方。 就这么一瞬间，康巴萨的子弹射了出去，对面的枪声戛然而止，康巴萨兴奋地道：“袁先生，我射中了他的手。” 袁森躲在隐蔽处，透过石缝把大坝上的情况看得清楚。那人躲在一个石墩后面，他的影子从石墩后面伸出来。康巴萨又开了两枪，那人的影子连抖了两下，显然被射中了。艾凯拉木见康巴萨得手，也补上一枪，他的扳机还没扣下，一颗子弹就打穿了他的手掌，艾凯拉木栽倒。 艾凯拉木中枪后，那人站了起来，他迎着手电光柱在大坝上飞奔。他穿着国民党军队的灰色军装，戴着翻耳皮帽，脸白得跟纸一样，没有任何表情，手里端着土得掉渣的中正式步枪，一边跑一边瞄准射击。 那人很快跑到大坝尽头，直逼众人藏身处。袁森来不及细想，对着那人的胸口就是两枪，枪枪射中，那人的胸口立刻被血染红了。王慧跳出来补了一枪，那人非但没死，反而操起枪托砸向王慧的小臂，王慧疼得跌倒在地。 袁森慌了，他一阵乱射，把怪人逼退回去，连扔了几个手雷，怪人退无可退，又缩回到石墩后面去。 袁森扶起王慧，老伯克搀着艾凯拉木撤退，子弹贴着他们的身体乱飞，他们一路抱头躲到斜墙后面去。 袁森缩在墙后往外看，一下子撞到那人的大白脸，两人相距不到两米，袁森的一颗心跳到嗓子眼了，脑子有点发蒙。他难以想象，怪人受了重伤，胸口的血还在流着，速度怎么这么快，太不可思议了。 老伯克拖着伤员进了铁门，袁森缩回斜墙，钻进铁屋，老伯克急忙关上门。门上没了门闩，老伯克只能死死地顶着。 袁森帮老伯克顶门，那人力气奇大，铁门几次差点儿被顶开，那人顶了几次没效果，就来撞门。 袁森拼死顶着门，暗道：“不对，完全不对，这人有问题——” 伯克道：“哪里是有问题，他根本就不是人。你刚才进铁屋的时候，他就一直贴在你背上，我怕吓着你，没乱叫。” 袁森出了一身冷汗，手脚都僵了。铁门被撞得啪啪乱响，伯克朝伤员大喊道：“快躲起来——快——” 康巴萨带着艾凯拉木、王慧进了里面的小铁屋。大铁门砰的一声被撞开了，袁森和伯克被撞得跌倒在地。那人站在门口，冷冷地看着地上的两个人，咧开嘴巴，露出比哭还难看的笑容来。 那人慢慢走进铁屋，袁森扶起老伯克，两人退到里间铁屋里。那人把中正式步枪扛在肩膀上，眼睛在铁屋子里瞟来瞟去。 艾凯拉木抓着小铁门的门柱，手抖了起来，道：“你想干什么，你到底是谁？” 怪人看了他一眼，没理他。袁森端起冲锋枪，康巴萨也举起了枪，瞄准神秘人的脑袋。神秘人对两个枪口没有做出任何反应，他把中正式步枪端起来，也不瞄准，而是机械地朝小铁门走来。 神秘人的诡异完全超越了袁森的接受能力，他的脑子里一片混乱，不知道接下来该如何应对，只能强迫自己镇定下来，对神秘人喝道：“嗨，你到底是什么人？” 神秘人喉头翻动，道：“这是老子的底盘，你们不但擅闯，还问老子是谁，天下有比你们更不讲理的人吗？” 他说话的声音干枯粗糙，像锈钝的锯条锯木头一样，听起来异常不舒服。神秘人说话的时候，脚步却没有停下来，他一直走到小铁门前面，正视着守在门边的众人。 袁森闻到他身上有浓烈的腥臭味，看到他的胸口被血液染红了一大片，现在都没有止住，不过他毫不在乎，似乎也没有感觉到疼痛。 袁森的枪口离神秘人的脑袋很近，他也不在乎，涣散的目光落在袁森身上，道：“你们挡住我的路了。” 袁森斩钉截铁地吼道：“你到底是谁？不老实说，老子就打烂你的脑袋，我不信没了脑袋你还能活。” 神秘人嘿嘿干笑，道：“年轻人，我活得够久了，久得我都忘了我的年纪了。” 袁森心里一颤，此人行为古怪得很，看年纪顶多三十多岁，说这话不是想吓人吧。他袁某人自打经历独目青羊事件以来，从南疆到北疆，经历无数怪事，哪能在区区冰川下面丢了脸面？ 艾凯拉木颤抖着端起枪，道：“说这种话就能吓老子？你到底是谁？我们有三支枪，有比你的枪先进半个世纪的装备，随时可以打烂你的脑袋。” 神秘人阴阴地笑道：“你看我的军衔是什么？”说着，他一拍领章。他的中山领上缀着星杠，正是中校军衔。 袁森道：“好家伙，我还没注意，康巴萨，他的军衔比你高多了。” 康巴萨冷笑着道：“军衔是高，地上那么多尸体，老子扒一件少将的衣服穿上，能比你差？” 神秘人脸色没有变化，只是哼了一声，道：“老子——祝万同——盛世才长官麾下25师3团长，你再笑笑看看。” 他说话的声音犹如枯木，却抑扬顿挫，浑身散发着一股尸臭味，给人很古怪的感觉，根本没有办法断定他到底是人，还是从尸堆里蹦出来的活跳尸。或者，活跳尸的可能性更大一些。 五人表情僵硬，不知该笑还是该哭。袁森强自壮胆，握紧冰冷的扳机，现代文明的产物到底能给他带来信心。他大声道：“你说你在地底下活了五十多年？你的同胞们都死了，你还活了这么久？你蒙谁呢？这可是冰川底下。” 神秘人嘿嘿干笑，喉结上下翻动，他浑身像是擦了一层很厚的皮肤霜，透着一种白色，那种白色的东西结成了粒子，一颗颗跟虫卵一样，让人看着极为难受。 神秘人道：“我出去了五十多年，今天回来了。半个世纪前，老子没有完成长官交代的任务，今天回来就是为了完成当年的任务，你们谁都别想阻止我。” 艾凯拉木眼睛一瞪，扳着指头数，又疑惑起来，道：“兄弟，你当团长的时候有三十出头吧？” 神秘人冷笑道：“蒙盛长官提携，老子三十二岁晋升为中校团长。” 艾凯拉木又扳着手指数，惊道：“这么算起来，长官你已经九十岁了，你——你——的模样怎么还这么年轻？是太年轻了——” 神秘人嘿嘿笑着，声音干枯，众人好一阵难受。他又朝前走了一步，艾凯拉木失声叫道：“别过来——” 袁森背后生凉，心脏跳动的速度顿时慢了半拍。不过他到底见惯了怪事，关键时刻还能镇定，他把枪口朝前伸了一寸，冷冷地说：“我不管你是真鬼还是装神弄鬼，我们这里有三把枪对着你的脑袋，只要我们乐意，随时可以打掉你的脑袋。” 神秘人仿佛没有听见他的话，或者是挑衅，他又朝前迈了一步，几乎跟袁森脸贴脸。三把枪顶上了他的脑袋，袁森的鼻中立刻钻进一种让人作呕的臭味，他努力屏住呼吸，艾凯拉木趴在门柱上吐了起来。 神秘人道：“老子说过，这里是老子的地盘，你们在老子的地盘上拿枪顶老子的脑袋，当老子是泥人啊？”他说话的声音很慢，然后朝后退了一点，端起中正式步枪顶住袁森的脑门。一股彻骨的冷气顺着脑门、皮肤钻进袁森的心坎里，他感到呼吸急促了很多。 神秘人跟袁森面对面，感官上的判断让他觉得此人多半不会是人，而是一个野鬼。试想一个野鬼拿枪顶着自己的脑袋，胆子再大的人恐怕都会被吓趴下。袁森是人，他胆子虽然不小，却也有正常人的恐惧，他能感觉到自己的腿在轻微地哆嗦。 神秘人狞笑着道：“开枪，给老子开啊？老子身为盛长官亲自提携的中校团长，灰猫计划副总指挥，还会在自己的基地里被你们这些小辈威胁？” 袁森一阵心惊，他怀疑自己听错了，重复道：“你说什么？灰猫计划？” 神秘人道：“谅你们这些小辈也没听过，这是政府绝密，1941年由宋子文长官亲自启动，盛世才长官一手操办，是绝密中的绝密。” “灰猫计划”对袁森来说并不陌生，进贺兰山寻找西域鬼国大泽王墓时，他曾和他的老师杨健教授、师妹巴哈尔古丽与田博士见过一次面，田博士综合分析了大泽王墓，判断西域鬼国与国民党的“灰猫计划”有某种脱不开的关系。他们也因此看到了国民党政府遗失的绝密档案，袁森至今还清楚地记得档案中提到的几个疑问： 张骞带着通好月氏以断匈奴右臂的目的出使西域，继而被匈奴捕获，匈奴为何困之不杀，让他娶妻生子？ 张骞西行，所携珍宝车载斗量，他们都去了哪里？ 张骞被困匈奴十余年，这十余年里，他到底做了什么？ 张骞出使西域的目的如果是联合月氏攻打匈奴，彼时大月氏惨遭匈奴打击，国力相当弱小，堂堂大汉怎么会千辛万苦地选择这样的对手？ 据档案中记载，国民党为了解开秘密，制定了耗资庞大的“灰猫计划”。“灰猫计划”启动时，正是中国抗日战争最艰难的时候，作战物资一度匮乏，国民党不惜血本做出这样的举动，目的引人遐思。 没想到阿尔泰山的原始部落却跟国民党的秘密计划有关，难道“灰猫计划”跟哈木巴尔阿塔神墓有某种神秘关系？ 发生在新疆的这些怪事全都串起来了吗？
