The group could clearly sense that the dark, ominous bird had not left. Anxiously, they ran frantically, with Ding Boshang bringing up the rear. The others supported the injured girl and quickly made their way to the camp's wooden cabin.
Upon entering, they hurriedly closed the door, fearing that the strange bird might attack again.
The girl lay unconscious as they struggled to bring her into the camp for emergency treatment. However, during this time, an unexpected incident occurred. Xin Li and Li Yishan went to the Blood Glacier's temporary testing room, taking the Ground Turtle with them to prevent the mining boss from discovering the truth.
As they left the camp, they also took a satellite phone. This was not a good move. When the mining boss entered the cabin, Lao Wu and the others were astonished to see their disheveled appearance, standing there like wooden statues, completely at a loss.
The girl had been overly frightened. Once she was settled down to lie down, she continued to run a high fever, mumbling incoherently and unable to sleep peacefully. In the end, it was Lao Wu who administered two drops of morphine to help her quiet down and rest.
With the girl finally calm, everyone hurried to disinfect her wounds, apply medicine, and bandage her up. The poor girl had long, fair legs that were now bloodied from the attack of that monstrous bird.
After tending to her injuries, Ding Boshang noticed that two people were missing from the cabin.
Xin Li and Li Yishan were nowhere to be found.
“Lao Wu, where did they go?”
Lao Wu's hesitant demeanor and flickering gaze sent a chill through Ding Boshang's heart.
“Did they go to Blood Glacier?”
Under the sharp gaze of the mining boss, Lao Wu nodded nervously, beads of cold sweat forming on his brow. He regretted not heeding Ding Boshang's warnings earlier. Everyone in their team thought he was just a drunken slacker whose words were nonsensical and untrustworthy; thus, no one believed him.
In her sleep, the girl furrowed her brow in pain, cold sweat pouring down her face as she twisted her body as if resisting something fiercely.
Ding Boshang tentatively reached out to touch her forehead; her temperature was abnormal. Just as he withdrew his hand, he suddenly heard Gigi barking from his nearby cabin.
Panicking slightly, he whispered, “Gigi.” Then he turned apologetically to the mining boss and said, “I’m sorry; I need to check on Gigi.”
Gigi was actually a gift from the mining boss to the weather Patrol Team, and Ding Boshang felt concerned for it. Hearing its barking made him want to go check on it.
Gigi’s belly was swollen significantly, as if it were about to give birth after a long gestation period.
Ding Boshang and the mining boss looked at Gigi with heavy hearts. In the end, it was the mining boss who took out a prepared euthanasia injection and instructed Ding Boshang to administer it into Gigi’s body.
Gigi did not react much; she simply passed away quietly. The two of them walked out of the room in silence and caught sight of someone knocking on the door of the opposite camp. Ding Baoshan focused his gaze and recognized it was Li Yishan.
Li Yishan had returned alone, panic-stricken, claiming that Xin Li had sneaked away when she saw a monster attacking him.
Ding Baoshan questioned his words and immediately demanded that he lead the way to find Xin Li.
Unexpectedly, Li Yishan refused to guide them, which angered the mining boss. The latter stormed over and slapped him without regard for appearances, forcing him to reluctantly agree to lead them in search of their colleague.
Accompanying them was another colleague from the camp. The three moved cautiously, careful not to make any loud noises. The hat-style Infrared Night Vision Device proved to be very useful at that moment.
When they arrived at the temporary testing room, the door was wide open, and it was eerily quiet...
Li Yishan went inside to check. After two minutes, he came out and said there was no one inside, and the satellite phone was also missing. Where could Xin Li have gone? Ding Baoshan glanced at the vast Blood Glacier, instinctively feeling that she must be in a cave within it.
Ding Baoshan was unwilling to miss an opportunity to rescue his colleague. He remembered vividly that it was Xin Li who had saved him from the Ground Turtle by smashing it with a drill during that incident.
Thinking about the Ground Turtle, he felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be...
As they stealthily entered the cave, they unexpectedly found Xin Li lying on the ground.
"Xin Li?"
One of the accompanying colleagues casually remarked, "Could the satellite phone be under her?"
Receiving this hint, Ding Baoshan approached to move Xin Li's body. When his fingers touched her form, he realized she had been dead for some time; her body was already stiff. As he turned her over to face them, her severely distorted face terrified him, causing him to scream and retreat rapidly...
Retreating was no longer an option; Li Yishan had somehow acquired a handgun. He raised the gun and grinned menacingly at both of them. "Since you care so much about Xin Li, why not stay here and keep her company!"
Ding Baoshan recalled that before departing for this place, the mining boss had confiscated his weapons and given them to the accompanying colleagues.
How did Li Yishan get his handgun? At that moment, it seemed less important to speculate about the origins of the weapon than to figure out how to deal with his madness.
"Why did you kill her?"
Li Yishan defended himself, "I didn't kill her; it was that Ground Turtle."
“Ground Turtle is dead. How could it possibly kill someone?”
“I knew no one would believe the truth about her death…” Li Yishan pulled the trigger, his voice filled with malice. “If I can’t explain it, I don’t want to explain it. Goodbye, friends…”
In that critical moment, a massive Mutated Antelope suddenly emerged from behind Li Yishan. Ding Bosheng was taken aback and quickly retreated…
Li Yishan sensed something unusual behind him and turned around abruptly… Oh my God, the Mutant Antelope lunged forward, its sharp teeth sinking into his head with a sickening crunch, blood spraying everywhere…
Ding Bosheng and another colleague were drenched in sweat from fear and could only run away…
“Damn, is it really that terrifying?” Xiao Qiang felt a chill run down his spine but feigned indifference, mocking, “Are you just trying to scare us?”
Ding Bosheng forced a smile and shook his head. “Why would I pretend to be crazy? What happened right in front of me was a bloody scene that felt like a nightmare haunting me. I keep talking about it, telling everyone I meet, trying to disperse the fear inside me. After saying it too much, people started calling me Ding the Madman. Haha, if they want to call me crazy, then so be it! From now on, I’ll just act crazy and get by day by day…”
“How did Xin Li die?”
“Pfft, sigh! Even heroes are just like this; they still have an unavoidable curiosity like ordinary people.” Ding Bosheng twisted the car key and stared ahead. “If you don’t mind, once we finish what we have to do here, I can guide you to see Blood Glacier.”
