Luo Feng continued his treasure-seeking endeavor, only to discover beneath the snow, a chilling scene of hidden bodies. There were seventeen in total, each bearing signs of injury, ranging from minor to severe. They were surrounded by water bottles and rifles, all dressed identically.
“These people, it seems, were soldiers of our own nation, China!” Luo Feng stated with certainty.
The mood in the livestream room quickly shifted from jovial to somber. It was easy to joke about misfortune, but these were the men who safeguarded peace in their homeland; their sacrifice rendered the concept of ‘home’ tangible. They were indeed, figures worthy of utmost respect.
The atmosphere grew solemn. Interest piqued among numerous military divisions who began tuning into Luo Feng’s livestream, curious to understand the full picture.
“Initiate a level three scan!”
Luo Feng continued his scan, hoping to discover more similar bodies in the vicinity. If there were, he intended to bring them back for their families. Upon the scan’s completion, no additional treasures were detected nearby.
“Level five scan!”
Luo Feng decided to expand the range of his search. Shortly, he noticed over twenty treasure markers grouped together, seven kilometers away. He got up to inspect the area, but first, made a call to have the discovered bodies transported away. It was important to bring in professional personnel, as inexperienced handling could potentially damage the bodies.
An hour later, a local archaeological team arrived. Although the bodies were not ancient artifacts, their handling required the same level of care to prevent further damage.
Subsequently, Luo Feng moved towards the detected treasure points. After removing the snow, he found several bird corpses and a wild boar carcass, all transformed into ice sculptures. Soon, he came across several human bodies seated in a meditative position, turned into ice sculptures with scattered bones around them. No signs of a fire were present, suggesting they might have consumed raw meat in their final moments. Like the soldiers discovered earlier, they too wore heavy cotton coats.
After some thought, Luo Feng began to speculate about their identities. If his conjecture was correct, they could be the Volunteer Army, the same soldiers who fought against the United States while aiding North Korea.
“Level seven scan!”
Luo Feng did not hesitate to initiate a broader scan. Five kilometers away, over fifty golden glows were detected. Upon his quick arrival and snow clearance, a corpse was discovered sitting beneath, clutching a rifle. Walking several hundred meters forward, a second body appeared, also lying on its side, rifle in its grasp, its gaze fixed on the horizon.
The third, the fourth, and then the fifth.
“Could these be the soldiers from that battle?” one viewer speculated.
“Did they freeze to death on their way back?” another wondered.
Not only Luo Feng had discovered something unusual, but the viewers of his livestream too had their speculations. Among the many opinions, Luo Feng shook his head, stopped, and inspected the footprints.
“These footprints do not indicate they were heading home, but towards North
Korea!”
“Even at the brink of death, they faced towards their homeland!” “They died with their faces turned north, refusing to die facing south!”
Unfazed, Luo Feng continued his journey, uncovering more ice-encased bodies. They were found in their final positions, rifles clutched close.
After unearthing the last body, Luo Feng felt as though he had been transported back to the 1970s, witnessing the fearless soldiers. Their ages varied from fifteen to mid-twenties, reflecting a time when they should have been in schools, living on
At such a youthful age, it was likely they were still in school, receiving a daily allowance from their parents. But what about the others? They had already started to struggle and strive for their nation.
“How could the soldiers from that battle appear here?” someone asked. “Weren’t many of them supposed to bypass this place?”
“Apparently, there was a batch that passed through Changbai Mountain!” “But they bore no chest badges. It was unclear which unit they belonged to.”
Luo Feng explained, “The volunteer army of that time did not wear chest badges. It was quite normal.” He glanced around and continued, “I believe this place was a route to transport the wounded. Those responsible for transportation would return to battle, the severely injured were sent down the mountain first, while those less injured were expected to continue fighting.”
“However, they could not withstand the harsh cold on their return up the mountain. ”
“Their intentions were simple – they did not want to burden the comrades who had escorted them.”
“They did not need an escort, so they wanted to return to battle. But the cold journey, devoid of food and filled with exhaustion, cost them their lives.” Luo Feng stood on the spot and resumed scanning. He found no more traces of gold. This eased Luo Feng’s mind a bit, indicating that the only ones who had died were these. He carefully excavated these bodies, planning to transport them all back. Of course, these bodies also attracted attention from various war zones.
“Alright, I understand!”
“I will come over immediately!”
“Listen, someone found the bodies of volunteer soldiers from the 1970s battle in Changbai Mountain!”
“Can we be certain it’s from that battle?”
“I watched the livestream, I’m certain, it was that battle. There is no mistake!”
“Which wave of personnel entering North Korea was it?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
“Who found these bodies?”
“It was a livestreamer named Luo Feng, who is also a treasure-hunting host.”
Over at the Northeast war zone. A staff officer. And a commander. They were discussing this matter over the phone. They were quite excited. Because this meant they could retrieve the heroes of the past.
A famous person was not wrong when they said that this battle, starting from the end of the Qing Dynasty, was a truly upright battle for our China. It was very meaningful. And very important. “The location is Changbai Mountain!”
“Get ready!”
“I will personally lead the team there!”
“We must bring back the bodies of these brave soldiers intact!”
At the same time. People from several nearby war zones, upon hearing the news, had the same reaction. They all sent people to this location..
