171: Approaching destination
We continue to move forward, and the road back is getting harder and harder, so to speak. The trip slowed down suddenly, because every time I walked, I had to replenish my energy and keep my strength full.
The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, so in order to ensure everyone's safety, I strongly ask that I not rush to the road.
Karui also seemed to be bothered by this problem, and did not rush to the road, anyway, after a small hill, he was at his destination.
I've been watching him for a long time, and he's been looking in a certain direction ever since we entered here.
March Lake must be in that direction, I am curious, Karui has been here so many times, where has the itinerary been, has he ever entered March Lake?
I guess not, because his eyes were so eager and eager.
Stopping and stopping, finally, we came to the last hill.
To our surprise, the first two mountains were covered with snow, but the third mountain was only covered with a thin layer of snow, and the water of the small river was crystal clear.
The four days and four nights of walking in the snowy mountains were painful torture for us, and everyone was naturally very excited to see the clear spring.
It's just that the appearance of this clear spring always makes me feel strange.
Once, when we were on a mission in the field, we were thirsty for a long time, and when we saw a stream, we instinctively scooped up water and drank it. There are a lot of insects and bacteria that cannot be seen with the naked eye in the stream water in the mountains and forests, and one of his comrades-in-arms was in a hurry to drink, and after the worm entered his body, he frantically sucked blood.
At that speed, it was terrifying, we didn't even have time to save it, and watched as our comrades were sucked dry of blood and turned into a human body in just a few minutes.
And the insect that drank enough blood, not visible from the naked eye, actually rose to the size of a basin, swollen, if you don't look carefully, you will think that it is a ball of meat, in fact, it is full of blood, and the belly is propped into a ball of meat, causing its head to be too small and easy to ignore.
Anyone who has ever had the experience of surviving in the wild knows that whether it is clear water or dirty water, it cannot be drunk casually, it must be boiled to kill some insects and bacteria.
Half of us have experience in this area, not to mention Kakemu and Lao Si, Abin has been in Wolong Mountain for so long, so he naturally knows these truths, Kalu is the same as me, both are experienced veterans, not to mention.
I thought that Chu Yunfei should have at least this basic judgment ability, but who knows, he really surprised me.
People who climb up with their own efforts are different from those who climb up by relationships.
And Chu Yunfei's subordinates, not to mention, are like dogs seeing, and they can't wait to stuff their heads into it.
It's not easy to survive here, and it's not worth it to die in such a daze.
"If you don't want to die, don't rush to drink water. I reminded them.
Chu Yunfei looked at me angrily, "I want you to take care of it." ”
I shrugged, I said what I had to say, and whether I listened or not was not up to me.
However, the cheating guy listened to me, "Chu Shao, there may be insects in the water that are invisible to the naked eye, let's not drink it." ”
"Do you want me to die of thirst?" Chu Yunfei pushed the guy away, with a fierce momentum.
But when he turned his head, Karui's lips were dry like that, and no one drank it, but he didn't dare to drink it.
"Xiaoyun, let's see if our reserve power supply is enough?" I said to Xiong Xiaoyun.
A few of us took out the reserve power supply and pressure cooker, Xiong Xiaoyun checked it, and said that there was only a little bit of electricity left, and it was estimated that it could only boil the amount of water for two people to drink.
"Then burn less. Abin filled a bowl with some water, poured it into the pot, then connected it to the reserve power supply and began to boil the water.
If it was a full battery, it would only take two or three minutes for the water to boil, but now the electricity is very weak and burns very slowly, and it burns for more than five minutes.
It's not easy to boil the water until it boils.
When the water was boiling, Chu Yunfei and the others gathered around him, staring at them with blank eyes, licking the corners of their mouths from time to time.
One can go without food, but there must never be a shortage of water.
This can easily lead to dehydration.
And the water boiled out of the pressure cooker is only enough for two people to drink, and even our own team is not enough, let alone distribute it to them.
I glared at Chu Yunfei, and he immediately coaxed.
When the water was cooler, I poured the water into the bowl, took a sip, and handed it to Xiong Xiaoyun.
There is not much water, so in order to let everyone drink more, I have to drink less.
Karui has always been indifferent to what is going on on our side, looking into the distance. He's really infatuated, no, no, it's okay, no one chokes on us to drink.
We were resting when Karui suddenly turned around, crouched down, picked up a handful of snow and ate it in his mouth.
When the snow melts, it's water.
Many times, in the case of a harsh environment, in order to survive, you have to do this.
Chu Yunfei and the others watched Karu eat the snow, and they also followed. Karui ate snow just to replenish water, while Chu Yunfei and the others ate like hungry wolves, gulping down, and in the case of long-term hunger in the stomach, it is easy to cause stomach discomfort.
No, someone fell on the snow, holding his stomach, and yelling that his stomach hurts.
This situation requires rest, and no one can do anything about it.
After a short rest, we continued on our way, and the delay here was long enough that everyone wanted to leave early.
In the evening, we finally climbed half the way, and in a few hours, we were ready to reach our destination.
At this time, Karui seemed to be enchanted, and refused to listen to our advice anymore, but only rushed forward.
The closer you get to your destination, the less snow there is, and there's even a feeling of heat.
It's like a sauna.
Even the air was filled with a thick heat wave.
This is really two heavens of ice and fire, it was cold to death a moment ago, and people who are hot at this moment can't stand it. And the heat is more terrible than the cold, because we have no water, we have drunk all the mineral water we have brought, and there is no river here.
I was a little worried that Xiong Xiaoyun wouldn't be able to bear it, so I said to her, "Don't follow in, just guard outside." In case of any situation, you can deal with it in time. ”
Xiong Xiaoyun was not at ease, and he was even more reluctant to stay alone, "No." As he spoke, he subconsciously hugged my arm.
She used to shyly retract her hand when we had any physical contact, but this time she didn't. Her eyes were more determined than ever, as if to tell me that even if she died, she would die with me.
I can't bear to say what I refuse, and if I say something that makes her sad at this time, wouldn't it push her to death.
Moreover, along the way, our relationship seems to be one step closer, not that I am attracted to her or anything, but that I have already regarded her as my relative.
I gently patted the back of Xiong Xiaoyun's hand, "Then you be careful, if there is any danger, just hide behind me." ”
Xiong Xiaoyun nodded happily, at that moment, she was no longer the eldest lady of the Xiong family, nor was she my apprentice, but an obedient little girl.
"All of you be careful, this place is very weird. "I said to Abin Kakemu and the fourth.
As for Chu Yunfei and them, with Kalu here, there shouldn't be an accident.
It's just that I've always wondered why Karui brought them here, isn't it too cumbersome?
When we gritted our teeth and persevered in the last part of the trip, standing on the top of the mountain, we finally saw the legendary March Lake.
It is a huge lake, the surface of the lake is very calm, pale blue, and it looks no different from ordinary water.
But this pool of water is by no means as simple as what we see with the naked eye.
The calmer the storm, the more terrifying the hidden dangers become.
And Karui on the side suddenly laughed like a neurotic "haha" after seeing March Lake, "March Lake, this is the legendary March Lake, I finally saw it, I finally saw it." ”
"It is said that as long as you drink a sip of water, you can live forever, I, I want to live forever, I want to be the master of this world. ”
Chu Yunfei and the others widened their eyes when they heard the words of Changsheng.
Immortality, who doesn't want to live forever, the more powerful the person, the more important those things are. If you die, you can't take anything with you.
Karui was about to pounce, but I stopped him one step ahead of him, "Wait, you tell me first, what is the relationship between March Lake and my father?"
Karui let out a strange laugh with red eyes, "I want to know, go down and see for myself." ”
As he spoke, he thrust my chest. I grabbed his arm and threw him off with his strength.
And Karui grabbed the hand of Chu Yunfei who was standing beside him in a hurry, and Chu Yunfei went to grab the hands of the others, just like this, and their team rolled down.
Several people got closer and closer to March Lake, and they didn't care about the abrasions on their bodies, and rushed into the pool like crazy.
And Kalu, who was originally very crazy, calmed down after approaching March Lake.
Something is wrong, no matter how you look at it.
I always felt that Karui was deliberately luring them into touching the pool.
Could it be that there is something strange in this pool of water?
While I was thinking wildly, a scream suddenly came out of the calm lake.
The guy who rushed to the front fell into the pool the moment it touched the water. Others may have seen it falling, but I could see clearly that a hand had pulled it down.
This March Lake is really weird.
Is that hand some kind of biological or some kind of human?
Man, impossible, no one can live in water.
What could a creature, a weird creature?
Chu Yunfei and the others were frightened and retreated again and again, while Kalu, who was standing behind them, used qigong to block their retreat.
Chu Yunfei shouted anxiously, "Kalu...... You can't kill me, we can help each other, I'll give you money, I'll give you as much as you want, please don't kill me. ”
