Chapter 264: A Chance Encounter That Shouldn't Have Been

The night in the mountains was very cold, the temperature had already dropped below freezing, and Durin's every breath was white, although he was not afraid of the cold, but in order not to let others think that he was too out of place, he still found a blanket and draped it on his body.

Suddenly there was a wolf howl in the distance, and Uncle Könyz stuck his head out of the tent, looked around, and said to Durin,

"There should be no shortage of food for the wolf cubs this season, and they shouldn't come to provoke us humans, young man, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Du Lin smiled and nodded to Uncle Könyz, "Uncle, go back to sleep, don't worry." Then he said in his heart, it's good that these wild wolves don't come, if they do, they should be afraid.

Sure enough, as Uncle Köniz said, although these wild wolves howled all night, none of them came to harass the expedition's camp.

As soon as it was dawn and the others were still asleep, Uncle Könyz took his son and nephew and began the first prayer of the day, the morning prayer.

Different from the sunrise seen at the top of the mountain in the recuperation center that day, watching the sunrise on Kunlun Mountain gives people the feeling of majestic and magnificent, which makes people more full of awe of nature.

The orange-red glow shrouded the bodies of the three Uncle Könyz, coupled with the pious and humble looks of the three of them, and the obscure and long chanting sound, which added a touch of holiness to the worship service of the three men.

After a while, the other members of the expedition also emerged from their tents one after another.

In order to save drinking water, everyone simply rinsed their mouths after breakfast and set out for the next day.

On the second day, the goal was to march from 5,500 meters to Camp 2 at 5,800 meters.

Numerically, the vertical distance is only 300 meters, but don't underestimate this short 300 meters, from here, it is a dozen miles to reach Camp 2, and the road on the second day is more rugged than on the first day.

The group marched forward for more than six hours, and the three villagers in the middle had two more prayers, and the other members of the expedition also took the opportunity to rest for a while.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the expedition team suddenly found a pack team coming from the west, and there was no obstacle to cover it on the vast Gobi Desert, so they saw this pack team from a long distance, and estimated the direction of travel of the two teams.

Although the two teams were already looking at each other from a distance, it took more than half an hour for the two teams to meet.

According to local custom, if two teams meet on the Gobi Desert in the mountains, the leaders of both sides need to exchange gifts, usually dry food and other food.

Yu Kunlun knew this rule, so he took out a bag of compressed biscuits from his backpack and walked towards the opposite side with a smile, and a person from the opposite team also walked out, holding a baked naan in both hands, and walked over with a smile.

Durin carefully looked at the team opposite, the whole pack team consisted of ten yaks and ten people, the goods on the pack were covered with tarpaulin, tied tightly with ropes, and looked at the members of the pack team one by one...... Du Lin suddenly looked at him, quietly walked to the side of Cheng Haichang and Zhang Sijing, and whispered:

"There is a problem with this group of people on the other side, you should prepare your guns, move smaller, and don't startle the snake. ”

Although Cheng Haichang and Zhang Sijing didn't agree with Du Lin's words, Yu Kunlun said that if he wasn't there, Du Lin would be the captain, and he still had to listen to the words of this "backup captain".

Cheng Haichang glanced at Zhang Sijing, pretended to fill the kettle with water, came to the donkey pretending to be arrogant, and pretended to rummage for something, but his palm had already grasped the handle of the rifle hidden under the tarpaulin, and he could pull it out and fire at any time.

"Hello friends," the leader on the other side was very enthusiastic, and after exchanging gifts, he hugged Yu Kunlun, "Where is this going?"

Listening to the accent of the person on the other side, it doesn't look like a local, but like a southerner.

"We are all hiking friends in the mountaineering club, to put it bluntly, we like to find excitement when we have nothing to do, and this time a few of our friends went up the mountain to have a fun time. Friend, where did this come from?" asked Yu Kunlun.

"We ...... It is from Tacheng and goes to the mountain pass to deliver goods. ”

"Oh......" Yu Kunlun pulled a long tone, "Then I wish my friend a safe journey, we will meet again when we are fated, and we will meet later!"

"Okay, okay, goodbye, you all have a smooth journey, goodbye. ”

The two said goodbye very politely, and Yu Kunlun also took the initiative to hug each other, and then returned to the team.

With his back to the opposite team, Yu Kunlun glanced at everyone, and then said with his mouth: "Prepare for battle." ”

Du Lin whispered to Yu Kunlun:

"You see that, too?"

"Well, Tacheng to Kunlun Pass can be taken by road, it is impossible to come here, and looking at their embarrassed state, it doesn't look like they came from Tacheng, but it looks like they just came over the mountain from the pass above, and this group of people is either smuggling or transporting drugs. ”

"It should be drug trafficking, a few of them have blue faces, black eyes, and dark purple lips, which are all characteristics of long-term drug use, many drug trafficking gangs use drugs to control their subordinates, and many of them are voluntary drug users, so this group of people is likely to be a drug trafficking gang, I have asked Cheng Haichang and Zhang Sijing to prepare. ”

"Okay, but if you can't afford to fight, let's try not to make trouble, these people must have guns, real fire, bullets have no eyes, in case there are casualties, the gains outweigh the losses, our mission this time is much more important than catching smuggling drugs." ”

Du Lin began to hear Yu Kunlun say that he was afraid of casualties, but he was still very satisfied with Yu Kunlun, thinking that he still loved the team members very much, but then he said that he was afraid of affecting the task, and Du Lin realized that Yu Kunlun did not care about the life or death of the team members, but was afraid of delaying the task due to combat attrition, and he couldn't help but have some mustard for Yu Kunlun.

While the two were talking, the opposite side also sorted out the team, and the porter pulled up the yak lying on the ground and continued to move forward, and the two teams passed by.

At this moment, Uncle Könyz's nephew, Bandil, suddenly slapped one of the porters in the opposite team.

"Dawut? Is that you? Dawut?"

"You've mistaken someone!" the man, known as Dawut, hurried a few steps, trying to avoid Bandil.

People say that you recognize the wrong person, there are only two situations, one is that you really recognize the wrong person, and the person is not the person you think is not the person you think at all, and the other is that you do not recognize the wrong person, but since people still say that you recognize the wrong person, then they say that they don't want to recognize you and don't want to expose their identity.
