It's all just weird. In this small town that connects the train terminal of Eurasia, there is no one. This is not surprising, although the geographical conditions of this place are good, but the climate is too harsh. It's no surprise that there are many small towns around the world that have been abandoned because of the climate. Strangely enough, although the town is abandoned, these beautiful mannequins are still here...... It's like walking into a puppet world, as if suddenly separated from the whole world.

A strange atmosphere permeated the crowd.

"Fuck, what are these puppets doing like this!" Everyone walked all the way, and they had long been depressed by this oppressive atmosphere, and when Li Huan said that all the people in this town were puppets, everyone was even more frightened. The hot-tempered Rodman couldn't help it for a long time, since it was a puppet, since there was no one in this town, then where could his temper be contained, and he found the Glo he was wearing. Ke loaded his pistol and fired a series of shots at the two dolls sitting outside the fountain who were watching everyone with strange eyes, emptying a magazine.

Click, click......

As Rodman's magazine landed, the two extremely realistic puppet models, which made everyone feel cold at first, slowly fell backwards. At the location where Rodman's bullet hit, pieces of silicone flew up, and the two extremely realistic silicone dolls instantly became a pile of garbage.

"Phew! I'm scared that my legs are still shaking!" Rodman spat out.

"Why are they all dummies?What is wrong with this town?" Shangguan Qing looked at the smashed mannequins, and felt a chill: "Li Huan, didn't you say that there are still a few people here, let's go and ask!"

Li Huan groaned for a while, led everyone around the square, and walked towards the place where he found those living people.

The place where there are living people is already very far outside the town, and even the snow that is beginning to approach the Ural Mountains is completely different from the inside of politics. In the middle of the town there are black stone paving. And it's all dirt roads. On both sides of the road, there are several small red buildings with a very Soviet style, and at the door of the building sit a few old people who don't know how old they are, but whose age must be their grandfather's generation. They sat at the door of the building, and seemed surprised to see Li Huan and others appear, and subconsciously wanted to go back to the building with the bench under their buttocks.

"Old man, wait a minute!" Li Huan hurriedly stopped someone.

As if he hadn't heard it, the man ran desperately towards the building, and Li Huan took the initiative to catch up, so he intercepted a person. When the man saw Li Huan intercepting him, he seemed to have seen a ghost, and his hands shook desperately. This person is about eighty years old, Li Huan really didn't dare to use any bit of strength, so he had to keep comforting with kind words, ten minutes later, the old man finally calmed down, and looked at Li Huan suspiciously: "You guys...... You mean to say, you're Chinese, you're from Finland?"

"Whew...... You finally calmed down, yes, I'm Chinese, I'm from the Finnish side. Li Huan said: "Grandpa, don't be afraid, we won't harm you, we just want to ask, what's wrong with this town? We want to cross the Ural Mountains, we need to buy some things in the town, but we walked around the town, but found that everything here is fake......

"You want to climb over the Ural Mountain? why?" The old man smiled bitterly after confirming that Li Huan and they had no malicious intent: "Since that incident came out, no one wants to climb over this mountain anymore. Not only that, but the people in the town are all gone out of fear now, and now we are left with a few old things waiting here to die. Why are you going over the Urals? I don't know. But I advise you to dispel this idea, it is too dangerous, and it is not a place for people to go. ”

Li Huan and the others glanced at each other, what this old man said must be the mysterious disappearance of mountaineering. Of course, Li Huan and they had already analyzed this matter at the station, most of them were cultivators, except for the two Russian female bodyguards, they all had the ability to protect themselves, so they were not so afraid of these gods and ghosts - but the weirdness of this town made them very unbearable.

"You said that the people in the town are afraid of running out, so why are there so many mannequins here?" asked Li Huan.

"The people are gone, and this place has become a testing ground for extreme damage. The old man shook his head.

"Injury test ground......" Li Huan muttered to himself: "No wonder...... This is a cut version of Oak Town. ”

Oak Town, a town that never appeared on any map, wasn't solved until after the Cold War. Later in World War II, in order to end the fighting quickly, Citigroup scientists launched a top-secret program, the Manhattan Project, the plan for the world's first atomic bomb. After the program began, the military chose a place called Oak Town. Then, the entire town of Oak Ridge was asked to move out within two weeks, and the state would give them huge compensation. There is also a billboard outside the town that warns people not to leak information about the town.

In order to implement this highly secret nuclear weapons program, Citigroup went all out to carry out immigration and scientific research in Oak Ridge, and in just about one and a half years, 75,000 people lived in this barren valley. Under the Manhattan Project, Citigroup has three nuclear facilities at Oak Ridge. For a long time, the people here were completely isolated from the outside world, and the vast majority of people did not know the ultimate purpose of the work they were doing. The flat-roofed bungalows they lived in were all arranged in alphabetical order. There is a local joke that during the construction of Oak Ridge**, children often couldn't find their homes after school, because it was likely that many of the same bungalows were built around it during the day. It wasn't until 1949, after the end of World War II, that the name Oak Ridge was made public. Today, Oak Ridge has only 28,000 residents, and in addition to federal and local government offices, Oak Ridge is home to about 800 companies. Although it is a small land, Oak Ridge's school education level is among the best in the whole of Citigroup.

Later, after the research work on Oak Ridge was completed, the Citi government turned the area into a 'mock town' in order to verify the power of the first atomic bomb. The so-called mock town is to keep everything here as it is and verify the destructive power of the atomic bomb. The Citi government asked everyone to evacuate the town, and then left the town intact, and placed a lot of dummies in it, and detonated the atomic bomb here to verify the damage.

"There's no one here since that incident, so get out of here. If you want to go to the Ural Mountains, you can go to the Finnish airport. The old man said.

"We have our own reasons and we can't get past it...... Old man, we have a reason why we have to cross the Ural Mountains, so please tell me, where should we go to buy some necessary supplies, and if there is no sale here, then where is the nearest town?" Li Huan shook his head and said.

"Do you have to pass through here? I'm not scaring you, young man, this mountain is more dangerous than you think. The old man was kind and persuasive.

Of course, Li Huan knew that this mountain peak was very dangerous. Hearing such a strange legend, as long as it is a normal person, he wants to get out of here as soon as possible. However, Li Huan and the others could not leave, because they had to cross the Ural Mountains to reach the other side. As the old man said, if they could take a plane, Li Huan would have taken everyone from the airport in Finland early in the morning, why bother to make a special train to cross the Eurasian continent and the plains to this town at the foot of the Ural Mountains. It's because you can't travel by plane or transportation anymore. Now the data is all networked, if someone wants to check carefully, they will definitely be able to find clues about Li Huan's travels - the less people know about the search for bones, the better, after all, the Great Siberian Wilderness is not like the Philippines, this is originally a place where people want to die. If something goes wrong, Li Huan is confident that he will protect himself. But these people who followed him might

will fall into extreme danger, which Li Huan does not want.

However, there was no way to explain this kind of thing to the old man, so Li Huan could only ask repeatedly: "We have a reason why we have to cross here, old man, can you tell us where the nearest supply point is here?"

"Young man, don't you understand me? This place is already a dead city, where are the supplies? No one will live here except for us old people who can't walk and no one cares. Our daily necessities are all the conductors of the Euryada train, and occasionally put some on the platform......" The old man shook his head, but he muttered again: "I have a solution. If you must leave this place, you'd better go to town and search for the shops. ”

"Isn't there no one in the store?" Shangguan Qing listened to for a long time, and also interjected in very pure Russian.

"Oh my God, there's a little girl in your team. It's already very difficult for men to climb this mountain, what do you think? and take women with you......" The old man looked at Shangguan Qing and shook his head: "There is indeed no one in the store, but have you forgotten? This is a weapon test site made by the government...... Everything in this is left behind by the government, just to verify the lethality of the weapon. To put it bluntly, those mannequins wore clothes and did not wear clothes, and they were no different from their experimental weapons. Not only you, but these people who live here often take things down from the shops and models. That's why we're still here. Basically, once a quarter, there will be a special government staff to replace these things. We've now reached a tacit agreement that we're going to help them clean up the town and keep the models from topping them over...... They also provided us with some necessities for life. So you can take anything in this town, as long as you can. There were no supplies here, but there were a lot of thick clothes. ”

"That's enough, old man, thank you very much for the reminder. Li Huan nodded and said.

There's nothing more to ask about here, it's a city of the dead. Li Huan and the others are not very willing to continue to disturb these old people, they may live like this for the rest of their lives.

"Alright, since the locals say so, let's go and gather some clothing to keep out the cold. After leaving the old people's places on the edge of the town, Li Huan called up the satellite images, measured the distance of the ruler, and looked at the images of the meteorological satellites, and then said: "We must cross the Ural Mountains as soon as possible." I don't know what that legend is, but we can't stop talking about it now that we're here. There were four cultivators among the six of us, and two Russian girls were also full-time soldiers. So I don't think we have much of a problem. From now on, everyone will spread out to collect their own warm clothes, and there is no need to worry too much about food supplies. I've just looked at the weather satellites, and if we move two days faster, we can reach the Death Ridge, and after crossing the Death Ridge, there is the Great Siberian Plain...... How's it going, are you connected?"

In the last sentence, Li Huan asked Luo Weisha and Agata again.

"No problem, the owner will reach the village as soon as we climb over the ridge of death, about 20km or so, I have contacted them in advance. "From there we will take a dog sled, and after that thing, no matter who is following you, there is no way to follow a dog sled in the Great Siberian Wilderness," said Rovisha. ”

"We didn't tell him where you were going, we just told him we needed two dog sleds. When you see this person, you tell him where we are going, so that you can maintain maximum confidentiality. Agata also said.

"Well, you guys did a good job, no matter what happens next, whether the people who track us will see our traces, we have to hide our whereabouts ourselves......" Li Huan nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything else, let's start from now on." We are right about the time. After 20 minutes we gathered here, and now we went to the town to find what we needed, and we tried to travel as light as possible, except for some warm clothes, it is best not to bring anything with us, and we crossed the Ural Mountains as soon as possible. ”

The old Russian man of several people said it well. There was little food in the town, but all kinds of clothing and tools were available. In order to build this weapons test site, the Russian government has done all kinds of work very well, and built it as exactly as possible to make it as exactly as possible like a real town where people live. Several of them were action-oriented, and it didn't take long to find all the tools and warm clothes they needed. After twenty minutes, several people had almost changed their appearances.

"Okay, there are about forty kilometers from here to the Ural Mountains Death Ridge, let's ......act as soon as possible" Li Huan waited for everyone to come almost later, and found the road signpost, which is still more than forty kilometers away from the starting point of the Ural Mountains, and it seems that we can only walk over: "Forty kilometers, we will strive to reach the mountaineering point within two hours." ”

If other mountaineering teams heard this, they would be shocked, because mountaineering is a very physically demanding task. I haven't heard of it, but you have to hike 40 kilometers before you climb the mountain. But there is no way out. It's still 40 kilometres from the nearest crossing point, and there is no transport around, so there's no other way to do it than on foot. Fortunately, everyone is super strong, and a fast trot of 40 kilometers is not a big problem, and this is not a plateau, even Rovisha and Agata can cope with it.

As soon as Li Huan's words fell, he heard two car horns not far away. Everyone turned their heads and saw a gray-blue jeep staggering over.

"Rodman, where did you get a car, and you can still drive it?" Li Huan squinted and saw Rodman in the driver's seat.

This is a Gas-69 jeep that is rarely seen now.

Citi's military in World War II had an incisive assessment of military jeeps, "It can do anything but bake bread!" In the war, these four-wheel drive light off-road vehicles brought great convenience to the army, reconnaissance, pilot, convey orders, transport supplies, and made great contributions to the war. During the war, it was not only Citigroup that discovered the excellence of jeeps, but also the Soviet Union on the other side of the ocean.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, the mud in summer and autumn and the snow in the harsh winter proved the important military significance of the jeep, especially as a means of transportation for scouts and communication troops in the war, as well as as a car for middle-level and grass-roots commanders, which provided great convenience for the Soviet army. The Soviet army was keenly aware that in the conditions of mobile warfare, jeeps were an indispensable means of transport, and the Soviet government decided to produce its own military jeeps as soon as possible.

This Gasjeep is a standard Soviet product.

The GAS 69 is a jeep produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant in the former Soviet Union in 1954. The length is 3.85 meters, the width is 1.85 meters, the height is 2.03 meters, the wheelbase is 2.3 meters, the front and rear track is 1.44 meters, the ground clearance is 0.21 meters, the turning radius is 6 meters, it adopts 4-wheel drive, its weight is 1525 kg, the crew is 5 people, the engine is a front-mounted four-stroke water-cooled gasoline engine, the maximum speed is 90 km / h, the fuel consumption is 14 liters / 100 km, the displacement is 2120 cc, the compression ratio is 13:2, the maximum power is 55 hp / 3600 rpm / min, the maximum torque is 12.7 kg·m/2000 rpm, the gearbox is manual 3-speed synchronization, worm roller steering, front and rear drum brakes. The front and rear suspension are integral bridge leaf springs - some old cars still have good spring properties, and it is said that they were made by the Soviet Union after World War II using a large number of shell skins.

"How the hell did you find this thing? Li Huan looked at the jeep that was suddenly approaching, and gave Rodman a thumbs up: "I can actually find one here that can be driven."

Car ......"

"I'm also lucky. Just when I went to the store to look for clothes, I suddenly saw a jeep parked outside, and I thought that if it was a war weapons experimental town, then these cars must not be models, so I tried to drive them, but I didn't expect them to be able to drive. Rodman grinned: "I heard my grandfather say that although things in the former Soviet Union are rough, they have very good structural reliability, and if this is a Citigroup product, then I won't look at it at all...... I didn't expect it to be able to start, and there is gasoline, I guess it's what those old people said, new things sent every quarter. ”

"Great, you don't have to go......" Li Huan laughed: "Okay, let's come up." ”

With this good off-road performance of the Gasjeep, the 40-kilometre road is no longer difficult. In just an hour or so, you can see a snow-white mountain slowly rising from the horizon.

This is a small part of the Ural Mountains, and the fastest way to cross the entire mountain range.

The Ural Mountains are the boundary between Europe and Asia, stretching more than 2,000 kilometers from the bay of Baidarats in the Kara Sea of the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Kazakh steppe in the south, between the East European Plain and the Siberian Plain. From north to south, the mountain range is divided into five sections: the polar region, the subpolar Ural Mountains, and the Northern, Central, and South Ural Mountains. The average altitude is 500~1200 meters, and the people's peak of 1894 meters in the subpolar region is the highest peak of the Ural Mountains. The width of the mountain range is 40~150 km. The middle section is low and flat, and it is an important passage between Europe and Asia. The western slope of the Ural Mountains is gentler and the eastern slope is steeper. There is a clear difference in the distribution of mineral resources and flora and fauna on both sides of the Ural Mountains. The Ural Mountains are also the watershed of the Volga, Ural and Ob river basins on the eastern slope.

The climate of the Ural Mountains is continental and characterized by polarized temperatures, either high or low, which are progressively evident from north to south and from west to east. The climate in the Paihoi Mountains and the Polar Ura Mountains is influenced by the conditioning of the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, and in the Mugojar Mountains and the South Ura Mountains, there are hot and dry winds blowing from Central Asia in the summer.

Li Huan and the others were very unfortunate and needed to cross the north, which is affected by the Arctic climate. However, this also has the advantage that the terrain here is extremely complex, and as long as you enter the back of the mountains, unless you follow your face to your face, all technological surveillance methods will be ineffective - the climate here is so harsh that you can't see anything five meters away at the worst time.

Li Huan: They are not here to experience mountaineering, so they naturally want to take the nearest road.

Rovisha and Agata are Russians, they used to do missions in the area, not to mention that they are now bodyguards, they also served in the army. The Russians have a strong paranoia of victimization, and they are always wary of outsiders, which has led to the fact that the natural barrier of the Ural Mountains has been studied and studied, and a lot of observation points have been set up, so when Rovisha and Agata served in the army, they also often studied a series of issues about the Ural Mountains, such as "rapid breakthrough", "shortest distance" and "safe zone".

When Li Huan was looking at the satellite map, he chose a relatively shortest distance - over the foothills of Orcas Mountain, past the "Death Ridge" - a peak about 6,800 meters above sea level, and after that, he could easily descend all the way. However, there is a problem with this choice, that is, it is too difficult.

In the concept of Rovisha and Agata and Agata, they had learned in the army before, that if the enemy attacked from the other side of the Ural Mountains, there was indeed such a path. Descent from the foothills of the Orcas Mountains is a gentle slope that can be safely slid down from top of the Ural Mountains by even a pot, making it the fastest way to climb the Ural Mountains. But there is only one, and that is that the soldiers must be transported up the mountain by large transport planes, otherwise it will be a fart--because it is not possible for ordinary people to climb the foothills of Orcas.

Because the western side of Mount Orcas is steep and covered with snow all year round, and for some reason, the terrain here is extremely treacherous, full of glacial crevasses and faults, as well as fluffy snow that can avalanche at any time.

The most important thing is that the path chosen by Li Huan is almost a re-walking of the route of the Dyatlov incident back then!

......

When entering the mountain and starting to go uphill, the jeep ran out of gas, but fortunately, the six people in this group had a strong ability to move, and walked towards the ridge where the horrific incident occurred, passing through pine forests and snow-covered reindeer farms, and after about an hour, the six people hiked to the foot of the mountain called "don't go" by the local natives.

Seventy years ago, it was thought that a world-famous mysterious event had taken place, perhaps too terrifying, so no one has been able to get out of this haze so far, and it is still the same as it was seventy years ago—Lapland-style cabins are laid out along the road ahead, but the road has been buried deep in the snow, and the huts are dilapidated, and in the snow, half of their bodies are exposed, and they are crumbling.

If you look at the temperature, it shows -5 degrees Celsius, but it feels even lower.

Originally, Li Huan thought that because of the existence of that incident, everyone would be a little scared, but when he looked back, everyone's eyes were full of excitement - after mixing on a tropical island for so long, witnessing a silver world full of wild fields and a magnificent frozen plain, how could he not be excited? It is no exaggeration to say that there is one here, except for the two Russian girls, everyone has lived in the temperate zone for a long time, whether it is Li Huan or Shangguan Qing, or Li Ang and Rodman, they have not seen such a magnificent snow scene.

Even in Poland, it's just a little bit of snow.

Imagine that a few days ago they were still living in the summer, and in the blink of an eye, they entered the depths of winter. Everything in front of you is so fresh and exciting. Shangguan Qing couldn't help but grab a handful of snow and raise it into the sky, and the two Russian girls, Rovisha and Agatta, were also excited after seeing the scenery of their hometown.

It's all so magnificent.

"That, is it the Death Ridge?" Leon shivered and retracted his neck, he lived on the most ** California coast in Citigroup all year round, and he was very cold about this kind of weather: "Oh my God, I thought at first that we were just going to look for a skeleton, but I didn't expect to come to climb the snowy mountain...... Boss, let me confess to you, I have never been in contact with ice and snow in my life. You see when you know me, when you see me, I'm in California. To be honest, I don't have much experience with this kind of icy environment, if anything...... Leave me alone. ”

"Me too!" Rodman agreed, saying he was a typical black man with skin adapted to living in the tropics. Leng Buding came to this kind of ice and snow, and he was even more uncomfortable than Li Ang.

"You haven't seen the world before. Li Huan pouted: "What is tested in this kind of ice and snow is actually people's ability to survive." As long as your survival ability is strong enough, everything is not a problem. What are you afraid of? Don't forget that you are now cultivators, so be bolder. ”

"You're saying it as if you've seen it. Shangguan Qing made up for Li Huan after playing enough in the snow: "When it comes to the experience of surviving in the wild, I am convinced." What did you do before, so you're an expert in this area. But as far as I can tell, you don't think you've ever been to such a cold place. Can you use your experience here? Li Huan, don't be kidding, are you really good at it? This is not a joke. This kind of snow-capped mountain and snow environment is dangerous. If that doesn't work, let's find a professional guide. ”

"What kind of professional guide to find, you haven't seen me go to this snowy mountain environment, that's because you haven't seen it doesn't mean I won't. Have you forgotten my old nickname? I'm called the King of the Wild, and it's not for nothing. The main thing is the natural environment on this earth. can be conquered effortlessly. Li Huan smiled: "As for the guide, we don't need it." ”
