" Little Hu, I've heard of the blue ladybug you mentioned before…"
Professor Chen and Xue Liyang, who were eavesdropping, walked out and spoke slowly.
What was that?
Old Hu looked at Professor Chen and the others in disbelief. They had investigated the ladybug in many ways, but there was no clue!
Professor Chen had actually heard of it?
"What…what is it?" Old Hu asked excitedly.
"It's called the Fire Ladybug. This thing is an unsolved mystery, a legend. It was said that the Fire Ladybug was formed by combining the phosphorous fire emitted by the corpse with the decaying firefly. As long as a person came into contact with it, they would definitely not be able to put it out and would be instantly burned to ashes. This ladybug could only be found in the records of explorers and archaeologists around the world.”
" Fire ladybug…" Old Hu muttered to himself.
"Can the three of you come to my place? Let's have a good talk." Xue Li Yang said indifferently.
With that, she turned around and returned to her room.
Old Hu and the other two followed. Xue Li Yang took out a photo of the fire ladybug and showed it to Old Hu. She asked Old Hu to identify if the blue ladybug he saw was a fire ladybug.
The blue ladybug was terrifying. Old Hu could not forget it even now. After seeing the photo, scenes of the past surfaced in his mind again!
After a long silence, Old Hu finally came back to his senses and replied seriously," Yes.”
Professor Chen and Xue Li Yang were both shocked by the answer.
They had always thought that the Fire Ladybug was just a legend. They did not expect Old Hu to actually see it!
Professor Chen's expression changed a little. He asked Old Hu to tell him what had happened back then.
Back then, they were a squad of soldiers carrying out a mission. In the end, an accident happened midway. A soldier surnamed Zhou lost his footing and fell into the glacier. When they went to rescue Xiao Zhou, they encountered the fire ladybug. Several soldiers were burned alive by the fire ladybug in front of their eyes. Because they fired, an avalanche was triggered and everyone was buried.
When Old Hu woke up, he was already lying in the hospital, unable to move. The rest of the soldiers in the class were all dead.
Old Hu asked with a serious expression," I don't understand. Aren't we going to look for Jingjue Ancient City? Why did you suddenly change your route to Kunlun Glacier?"
Professor Chen sighed and said slowly," Comrade Hu, don't blame yourself. I read in an internal document that the avalanche was caused by a low-level earthquake. Later, it was confirmed by the National Bureau of Meteorology. The earthquake also created a crack at the eastern foot of Kunlun Glacier.”
"Then what does this have to do with us going to Jingjue Ancient City?”Old Hu suppressed the anger in his stomach and asked.
Professor Chen slowly explained the reason.
Back then, Professor Chen's good friend was part of a joint Chinese and foreign expedition team. They brought a story book and Mr. Walter's diary to Jingjue Ancient City. For some reason, they suddenly changed their route midway and went to Kunlun Glacier. Then, they disappeared. No one came back. The last distress signal was sent from the big crack at the eastern foot of Kunlun Glacier.
This notebook recorded in detail how Mr. Walter found the Ancient City of Jingjue step by step. It was of great help to finding the Ancient City of Jingjue in the vast desert!
The leader of the expedition team back then was Xue Li Yang's father.
Everyone fell silent. Shirley Yang and Professor Chen, one for his father, one for his best friend, and Old Hu not going because of his comrade.
No one said anything.
A moment later, Fatty spoke first," Old Hu, so many years have passed. Do you think you can face the pain and struggle of your dead comrades? However, the result was different. Your life was exchanged with the lives of many comrades, but as men, we can't not have the courage to even look at them! I think we should go and see what exactly the Fire Ladybug is and pay our respects to them.”
