Chapter 344: Mountaineering

ended the call, Jiang Lang didn't want to communicate more with Wang Wei and Gao Qing in front of the German government, put away the satellite phone, handed it to Qiao Xue again, and waved his hand to Natalia at the same time, indicating that she was not hungry, and she was handing over the bread and barbecue.

"Okay, after everyone has eaten, the two of us will stay here and wait, and we will prepare to climb the mountain. ”

After seeing that everyone basically finished lunch, Jiang Lang said, after all, it is not to run, after close detection, Jiang Lang can confirm that this is a cave, located inside the mountain, and then use the drone to find a circle, there is no entrance and exit at all, so only manually open an entrance, fortunately, the handheld prospecting auxiliary function provides Jiang Lang with accurate cave location information, so he can be sure that the sunken mountain will be the thinnest wall hole at the top of the cave, only a few meters thick, Jiang Lang is really not sure whether the missile can blow up such a thick mountain, so it must be confirmed at the scene。

"My dear, you hunt down there, don't go up, I'm going to take a look in the cave......" Jiang Lang didn't want Qiao Xue to take risks, climbing the mountain is not a brisk, don't look at the direct route is not too far, but they have to walk about ten miles down the mountain, and they have to climb up the mountain again, although the bottom is now overgrown with weeds, but it is still extremely difficult to cross the river.

"Don't even think about it, I have to be with you, I can do it myself, you know I'm not the kind of woman who can't help but be weak. Qiao Xue disagreed, the purpose of her coming here was to watch Jiang Lang, and she had nothing to be afraid of when it came to such exciting things as adventure, although she was indeed very interested in hunting, but there was no doubt that following Jiang Lang to see her was the most important thing, she didn't want Jiang Lang to have any accidents.

"Okay, then everyone is ready to go, let's go together. Andrey, your suggestion just now is still good, contact the colonel, ask him to prepare a fighter jet, hang the KH29 missile ready, it may be used in a while, and you can go directly to the mine to settle the cost. Seeing Qiao Xue's insistence, Jiang Lang knew that she would not listen to any more words, and Jiang Lang also gave up his decision to let her stay here.

The group carried their respective backpacks, Andre and Yang Yi, Jiang Shan and several other men opened the way, Jiang Lang and Qiao Xue walked in the middle, and Natalia, Xia Zhen, and Li Li began to walk on this extreme barrenness.

The helicopter landed on the flat ground at the foot of the two mountains, and a group of ten people walked for more than an hour with their backpacks on their backs, and then arrived at the foot of the mountain to the east, where a small river blocked everyone's way, which was formed after the snow melted on the mountain.

Only by the river there are some vegetation and trees, not too tall trees block everyone's view, until everyone walked in front of the stream, only to accidentally find a female brown bear, with a litter of babies in the stream foraging for food, straight to the first time to see the brown bear at close range Qiao Xue and Xia Zhen, Li Li They were very excited, Xia Xue took out her mobile phone and took a lot of photos of the family.

Brown bears are not afraid of humans, as long as you don't provoke the young brown bears, the big bears will not care about you, and even two little brown bears came over, Qiao Xue happily took out the beef jerky she carried and handed it to the little guy, and suddenly the four little brown bears all ran over.

Suddenly a wolf appeared by the river to drink water, looking at everyone with a little unkind eyes, and the idea of looking for the weak to forage for food was not disguised at all, Natalia decisively took out a pistol, and the gray wolf was killed by her with a "snap" shot, Artyom Konovalov stretched out a big female finger towards her, and then ran over to pick it up.

Natalia's gunshots frightened Qiao Xue and a few little brown bears, and the mother brown bear roared angrily, but seeing that the humans did not embarrass their children, the four little brown bears were also a little frightened and ran back to their side, so they did not attack everyone, especially when they saw the wolf who was also paying attention to him on the side fell to the ground, as if he knew that the group of humans in front of him was not easy to mess with.

It's hard to see humans in the endless wilderness, Kamchatka is completely the territory of brown bears, and there are also a large number of wild moose, wolves, goats, eagles, swans, wild geese, grouse, etc., there are farms that are not allowed to be hunted at will, but no one cares about this farm, even if you want to kill all the wild animals that enter the farm, because there are too many, and they are too big.

Andrei went to check on the stream, went a little upstream, and crossed the stream smoothly, and several bodyguards tried to follow his footsteps across the creek with a width of nearly ten meters.

But seeing Jiang Lang pick up Qiao Xue, one jumped into the air, and jumped directly to the opposite side of the stream with his wife, instantly shocking Natalia and Xia Zhen, although Xia Zhen knew that Jiang Lang was good, but they didn't expect that their bodyguard target was so strong, and they could play such a difficult action with a person.

Qiao Xue was also a little startled, and after being put down by Jiang Lang, she couldn't help but hammer Jiang Lang's chest with her small fist and said, "I thought you wanted me to throw it away." ”

Jiang Lang took her hand and said with a smile: "Where can I give it." Alright, come here, all of you. Jiang Lang turned around and shouted at Natalia.

However, the remaining few bodyguards do not have the ability of Jiang Lang, so they can only patrol Andre's footsteps and run to a few raised stones upstream to cross the stream, although they can also cross the stream, but that will wet everyone's pants, the water depth is only less than one meter, and it is not deep, but even if it is summer, the current temperature is only 12 degrees, fortunately, it is a sunny day, so you don't have to worry about rain, there is less rain here, the only thing is wind, after all, the peninsula area is sandwiched by the sea.

After crossing the river, everyone continued on their way, the uneven wasteland, occasionally overgrown with weeds, but most of them were land with nothing, and the road of nearly ten miles passed through three streams, one of which was obviously a wet water gushing from the hot springs upstream, and it took everyone four hours to walk to reach the foot of the mountain.

After taking a short break and drinking some water, everyone continued to climb, Qiao Xue in a jacket and the bodyguards began to sweat after walking for a long time, Jiang Lang took the thermos cup handed over by Qiao Xue, screwed the lid and stuffed it into the backpack of the backpack.

Some of the backlit rocks or the north side of the hill still have snow cover, and the higher the place, the more snow or ice the more severe the snow or ice, and only the sunny side will melt where the sun hits.

According to the guidance of Jiang Lang, everyone began to climb up along the green space next to the stream, although it was a little slippery, but at least even if it fell, it would not fall down, and the solid grass roots could be grabbed by people, Yang Yi and Li Li stepped on an inconspicuous but somewhat loose stone after climbing less than 100 meters, and as a result, they fell down, fortunately, everyone had a mountaineering pickaxe or ice axe, and the agile two people caught the weeds at the first time, except for Yang Yi did not grasp it, and made up a pickaxe to stabilize himself, there were no other problems。

"Be careful, the grass is a little slippery, and if you have a physical problem, you don't have to force it, and it's the same if you wait below. Jiang Lang told everyone to be careful, but obviously no one wanted to give up, either out of duty, or out of refusal to admit defeat, it made no sense that Jiang Lang and Qiao Xue, the two employers, could climb up, and they couldn't do it as bodyguards.

Yang Yi and Li Li felt a little hot on their faces, as bodyguards, it was so embarrassing to have such a mistake.

Everyone continued to climb upward, "Wangshan ran dead horse" is not false at all, when the helicopter was not yet a little, now although the sun is still high in the southern sky, but it is already more than seven o'clock, the local area will not set at about ten o'clock in the evening, in the morning the sun is now earlier, half past one will come out of the sun, so that the first people here can not adapt to this time difference, the night is only two hours, if it is in the Kupol gold mine, congratulations this summer is no night, now is the polar day time.

Jiang Lang has always pulled or supported Qiao Xue, although she has rich experience in mountaineering, but after all, most of the mountains she climbs are domestic mountains, and they are all developed, but the mountain here is completely the first human climbing, the difficulty is not a little bit, a careless, it may fall, this is still light, if you fall down and then touch the stone, then congratulations, you may have to hide here forever.

But Qiao Xue walked very steadily, coupled with the help of his own man, close to ten o'clock in the evening, the group climbed to an ice cave at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, from more than 500 meters and then up, the entire mountain was completely frozen up, except for the snow, it was all permafrost, and the feet were more slippery, except for the river waves, everyone had an ice axe or a mountaineering pickaxe in their hands, and the four bodyguards from China only prepared a mountaineering pick.

After all, Qiao Xue came for the first time, she really thought she was going to climb the volcano, but she didn't expect it to be the one next to her, so the information was wrong, and the bodyguards didn't prepare ice axes, but fortunately, the mountaineering pickaxes could also be used, and Andre and they were all ice axes.

A cloud hovers over the snow-capped mountain, and the setting sun passes through the ice, illuminating the structure of the ice cave inside, under the action of refraction, the ice cave takes on a rainbow of colors, irregular fragments and clear smooth surfaces are one of the characteristics of this ice cave, they will change with time, the direction of the sun, the color of the sky, and can move slowly. Suddenly Qiao Xue was overjoyed, instantly forgot the tiredness of the afternoon, kept shooting with her mobile phone, and pulled Jiang Lang to let the bodyguard take a lot of photos of the two.
