What's worse? No matter how calm Xue Yihuai is, no matter how Taishan collapses in front of him and does not change his color, he is a little nervous and uneasy at this moment.

Rong Jianghai pointed to the map: "The scope of the Shuangxi Scenic Area is here, and the camp is further east of the scope of the scenic area. Out of the scenic area, there are not only no signals, but also no directional signs. The worst thing is that there is a small stream about four meters wide in this location, and beyond the creek is a barren mountain with no people. The heavy rains of the previous two days have caused the stream to swell, but there is no bad news downstream. ”

Xue Yihuai breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that in that kind of extreme weather, the sudden rise of the stream will become very rapid, so it is easy to cause the person who falls into the water to drown. Although he said that he had not received a report, he should not be overly optimistic.

"There is no other way to the west, and if there is a collapse and a landslide in this area, and the retreat to the east is blocked, the only place of refuge they have is ...... There's only the barren mountain here. But if the stream was swollen, how could they survive the rushing stream?"

The lesser of the two, although the scenic spot and the barren mountain are separated by a stream, but the geological features are somewhat different. The terrain of the barren mountains is peculiar, criss-crossed by ravines, humid and miasma, and there is a problem with the magnetic field there.

The fog of the barren mountain is particularly heavy, and it is entrenched all year round, making this barren mountain gloomy and mysterious. Because of this mystery, several groups of mountaineering adventurers broke in many years ago to find out, but no one was able to cross the barren mountain. Only one of the teams managed to make it out, and the others were later rescued by relying on rescue pairs.

"The magnetic field is chaotic, has the geological team been here? And you just said that many years ago, no one has been there since?"

Rong Jianghai nodded, looking at Xue Yihuai was really a little embarrassed, this was originally his son-in-law, but it was a pity!

Retracting his regrets, he explained: "The scenic spot is separated from the barren mountain by a stream, and on the dividing line, the scenic spot has a warning sign prohibiting entering the barren mountain. In fact, the news that the compass would fail after the mysterious entry of the barren mountain began to circulate on the Internet, and the city geological exploration team once entered and found that there was iron ore under the barren mountain. However, according to the survey, the coverage rate of iron ore under the barren mountain is not very high, and the geological environment is complex and changeable. Moreover, the barren mountains are connected to the scenic area, so the city government did not agree to mine at that time. ”

Xue Yihuai listened to him, but felt that he seemed to have something to hide: "When the exploration team entered, it was not disturbed by the magnetic field, but lost its direction?"

Rong Jianghai sighed: "You guessed right, not only was their direction disturbed, but one person died unexpectedly in that exploration. At that time, I was afraid of causing panic, and I was afraid that it would arouse the interest of those adventure lovers even more, so this matter has been kept secret. ”

No wonder he started by saying that it would be worse to the west. It turns out that the situation of barren mountains is more elusive than scenic spots.

"Now we have to go back to the previous key question, when the stream is so swollen, they have to wade through it if they want to enter the barren mountains. In the absence of tools, this assumption is difficult to hold. "There is no boat and no bridge, if you go over, the trend of the scenic spot is high in the east and low in the west, and no one knows where the stream will rise, and now he is in the mood to fall into the water.

This question also asked Rong Jianghai, but soon a few photos came from the mountain. This photo answers this question for them, because a large tree fell due to a landslide, which happened to span the mountains on both sides. In this way, the situation is much clearer.

They should have crossed barren mountains, which crisscrossed the barren mountains and were typical karst landforms. The mountains are mostly granite, and the rocks are hard and not as prone to landslides as the scenic spots. They crossed the barren mountains, which was also a last resort under the circumstances.

Now that the direction has been determined, then send rescue into the mountains. However, because the barren mountain geology is special, it is necessary to make sufficient preparations.

Xue Yihuai actually understood what Rong Jianghai meant, and Rong Yunxi's liking to board was driven by Xue Yihuai. It was also because of him that he received professional training back then, and a lot of professional knowledge was also learned from Xue Yihuai, and there were also some correct responses in emergency situations.

All of Rong Yunxi's reactions in this situation are likely to be based on Xue Yihuai's response. Therefore, if Xue Yihuai came to the scene in person, restoring the process that happened at that time in his mind, he would deduce the refuge route that Rong Yunxi and the others might choose with his most likely reaction.

He didn't think much of it and agreed. Rong Jianghai patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "Thank you! You go to the rescue team and prepare! I'll wait for your good news!" After Xue Yihuai turned around, he suddenly stopped him again, "Yihuai, please be sure to bring Yun Xi out safely, this is a father's request!"

Xue Yihuai nodded solemnly, and the rescue team entered the barren mountain in two teams. One team passed through the scenic stream, and the other pair descended directly to the top of the mountain by helicopter. Xue Yihuai had to follow the trail they had walked, so he had to cross the stream and join the group that was already waiting by the stream.

After changing into the boarding equipment, the mobile phone rang, and the mobile phone prompted 'stupid Mrs. Xue'. He paused with his phone, then finally swiped left and hung up.

After entering the barren mountain, it was really not careless, because all the rescue team members who had just entered felt the strangeness of the mountain. It's like encountering a ghost hitting a wall, making people suspect that they may be spinning in place. The compass kept turning and was out of order.

There was no mobile phone signal at all, and it was still daylight when I entered the mountains, although it was still raining. But the fog rising from the mountain lowered the visibility. Not only that, but the uneven and shallow fracture layers also make the light flicker and darker.

If you continue to turn around like this, it will not only be difficult to find people, but it is also very likely that the rescue team will lose its direction on its own. Xue Yihuai immediately stopped, but fortunately, the geological exploration team left some photos. It's not comprehensive, but it's especially precious at this time.

Huang Junyan, the captain of the pair, pointed to a location shrouded in white fog in the photo: "According to the information, there should be a small canyon in this location." The space is relatively empty, there is no shelter on it, and it is relatively safe. You say, will it be possible for them to go in this direction?"

The location is good, but only if the mountaineering team doesn't come with the same information as they do. Moreover, in a panic, how do you know that there is a relatively safe space in this location? Not to mention that the route to this location is steeper and more dangerous than on your own.

He shook his head and dismissed his idea: "In their situation at the time, panic and lack of light made it necessary for them to climb the nearest route to avoid the danger of the stream continuing to rise. ”

Huang Junyan nodded, staying where and waiting for rescue was the best choice. But there is indeed a problem, that is, no one knows what kind of height the stream will reach after the water rises, so it is indeed an option to continue to go up.

"Can the second team be contacted?"

Huang Junyan nodded: "Yes, it's just a little intermittent." It is also very difficult to go down the mountain, the fog is too thick, and the visibility is low, and it is easier to go down than to climb up. However, no traces were found on it, and they were now slowly starting to walk down. ”

Xue Yihuai looked up, and the thick mountain fog couldn't see the top at all. The rain continued to fall, and the barren mountain was gloomy, and the temperature was noticeably cooler than outside. In the absence of warmth and a supply of food calories, the passage of temperature is also likely to cause death.

Seventy-two hours of golden rescue time had almost passed, and it would be dangerous to find them again.

Xue Yihuai was silent for a while, letting the rescue team rest in place, while he returned to the stream with a flashlight. He wanted to simulate the scene again, starting to run from the stream to the mountains with a flashlight. The fault layers of the mountain cause the line of sight to overlap, and it is almost as if you have walked into a maze.

Xue Yihuai hadn't returned for a long time, and Huang Junyan was a little worried.

I took the rescue team and looked for it, and when I heard Huang Junyan's voice, Xue Yihuai realized another problem. The mountaineering team must also feel like he has entered a labyrinth after entering the fault layer, and when there is no way out, people's panic is likely to cause the organization to have a dispute over the direction.

Yun Xi's strength and professionalism can probably solve this problem smoothly! Although he thought so, he still fell into deep worry.

"I've found you! Someone from the second team is injured. The miasma here seems to have affected the sense of smell of the search and rescue dogs, and there is no reaction for the time being," Huang Junyan said panting.

A conversation came back to his mind, when he and Rong Yunxi were still young. She asked a question in the labyrinth, and he just said it casually, not knowing if she would take it to heart.

'What should I do when I can't find my way?'

'Keep to the left'.

'But to the left is a dead end.'

'Face a dead end, keep left'.

The situation here is no longer as he and Rong Jianghai expected, there are no rules to be found at all, and now there is only a gamble: "Look this way!"

Huang Junyan looked at the photo of the exploration team and said: "I'm afraid the situation here is more complicated than that side, and the exploration team hasn't even been there here." Everyone should be careful, hurry up and don't fall behind!"

The group began to grope along the fault, and the rain gradually stopped, but the temperature was still very low. The place they choose to camp must be a relatively open place, and the key is to be able to shelter from the rain. Caves and valleys are great places to take shelter from the rain, but valleys are the most congested.

"Does the information of the exploration team mention the cave?" Huang Junyan shook his head, there were many valleys.

However, the miasma in the valley is the heaviest, and it is extremely easy to be poisoned by miasma. They had to speed up their pace, and not long after, Xue Yihuai walked in front and suddenly stopped. The road ahead was suddenly cut off, and not only was there no road, but it was also a valley that fell straight down.

Xue Yihuai squatted down, swept the flashlight, the fog was too heavy and he couldn't see anything, so he had to rush down and shout: "Is there anyone?"
