515 [Oh my god! It's all caves]

After a day of arduous trekking, we finally came to a dry cave to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and then Yang Yong used GPS to locate it, okay, a whole day's arduous trek is not more than 30 kilometers.

This expedition team is full of big men with good physical fitness, and ten kilometers per hour each is already a perfect speed. After all, this is a tropical rainforest with ravines crisscrossing it, and it's hard to move at this speed.

After a good night's rest, the next day, just after dawn, everyone began to pack up. Preparing to leave, there were no injuries on this day? The wounds on Yang Yong's body also began to scab and heal. Because there were no injuries to delay the trip, I walked almost 38 kilometers the next day.

After four days of trekking, everyone came to the foot of the Central Mountains. Including Yang Yong, his body is in tatters, and his face is black and white, which is comparable to that of African refugees.

I finally saw the central mountain range, finally came to the right point, and the hardships along the way finally paid off. Not only Yang Yong, but all the expedition members who saw the Central Mountain Range began to cheer enthusiastically, hugged each other, and finally walked out.

Puerto Rico's central mountain range is not very high, no more than 2,000 meters above sea level, but it covers a very large area. There are dozens of large and small mountains, and because they are tropical rainforests, these peaks are all limestone, and the number of caves formed by years of erosion is not a few.

There are all kinds of big rocks and small stones, especially when walking in the mountains. You have to watch your step, because some small caves will be covered with leaves, and if you accidentally step on it, you will fall into it and die.

The exact burial place of the gold treasure should be at the highest peak of the Central Mountain Range, and it is necessary to climb several peaks to reach the foot of the highest peak. With a goal, everyone has motivation, so let's climb it! Fortunately, everyone has enough climbing equipment. A few good climbers took the lead to explore the way, and then lined up in a long snake formation to climb up one by one.

Fortunately, these hills are not high or very steep, and you can stop for ten minutes to relieve your tired legs and hands. On average, it takes an hour to climb a mountain, and by the time you reach the foot of the highest peak of the mountain, it is already dark. As a last resort, I had to find a clean place to camp, but fortunately, there would be some breeze blowing on the mountain to relieve the hot and humid air, and then start to bury the pot and cook.

Everyone was very excited because they saw the target immediately, and the two guides took the initiative to invite Ying to hunt in the forest. An hour later, a very large rodent resembling a small fat pig came back. This large rodent named the agouta pig is a very large class of rodents that live in North and Central America.

The meat is tender and juicy, and you can eat a fresh barbecue that immediately relaxes everyone's spirits. In addition, Yang Yong immediately saw the hope of victory, so he didn't mind if everyone went crazy once and had a good night's rest. So I ordered everyone to get two cans of beer, drink wine, eat barbecue, and have a good rest.

At around 4 o'clock the next morning, the sky began to thunder and then rain down, and it was not unusual to watch heavy rain in the rainforest. The rain came quickly, and after almost 40 minutes, the rain stopped and the sun was shining, and the temperature was very cool, which was very suitable for physical activity. In addition, I chose to camp at night on a high ground formed by ten blocks, which was not afraid of wind and rain, and could still be kept dry.

So a good location is of course the best place to choose the camp, leaving a few people to guard the salute, Yang Yong took the map and held the GPS positioning system. took people up the mountain to look for the cave, but when they came to the foot of the main peak, when they saw the topography of the mountain clearly, everyone, including Yang Yong, almost scolded his mother.

Damn limestone peaks, damn caves, damn treasure masters. There was only one cave on the treasure map, but the damn main mountain was potholed by the rain this month! The whole mountain peak is like a honeycomb coal, and there are caves everywhere, and who knows which cave hides treasures.

Although these caves are not the same size and volume, the entrance to the cave that can transport treasure is definitely not small. Therefore, the entrance of the cave below five square meters will be automatically passed, and the cave that is too shallow will not be qualified to be eliminated, after so many caves have been eliminated by more than 90%. The number of caves that come down is gradually decreasing, anyway, there are more people entering the cave in groups of two people, and there will always be a harvest after slowly searching.

As the saying goes, it's better to eat with less good people, and better to work with more people, except for three rainforest experts and two guides. All the expedition members were loyal employees of the Yang family, so the other five foreign aides stayed outside the cave to accompany Yang Yong outside the cave. Armed with safety ropes and lighting equipment, teams of two carefully explore these limestone caves washed out by the rain.

Everyone should know about the karst landscape, where the rain washes away the rocks everywhere. Therefore, these caves in karst landforms are very dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will fall directly into the caves, and if you don't have good lighting equipment, don't enter these caves to carry out adventure activities rashly.

Expedition members who walk in from the outside must arrange safety ropes along the road, and there are many forks in the cave. It's like a labyrinth, and if you have a safety rope to go in, you can't find it back, and if you really get lost, you have to starve to death when you can't get out. Therefore, the safety rope must be very obvious red and yellow, and the best length with reflective material must be enough.

In addition, Yang Yong has the money to buy safety ropes, which are the top products, and the length of a 12-centimeter safety rope exceeds 20,000 meters. The long distance is enough for people to return safely, and these mountains are not covered by many years of rain. After the expedition team entered for more than an hour, there were two caves more than 100 meters apart that merged into one.

The two people saw the team members meeting in the cave, and there was even a cave that had been pumped up and down for 300 meters, connecting each other and the three expedition teams meeting directly. Of course, searching the cave is not a safe job, it is dark inside, and the stones are very slippery, and some team members accidentally fell and broke their legs.

There have even been cases of broken bones, which of course are very rare. After a whole day of searching, the twelve caves still did not find any guaranteed clues. Yang Yong was not in a hurry and almost kicked the door, even if he turned over the entire central main peak, he had to find a guarantee, otherwise he would not suffer in vain in the tropical rainforest.

After a good night's rest, the team member who broke his leg was simply bandaged, and then called the San Juan team members on a satellite phone. Sending a helicopter to bring these injured members back for treatment may be asked. Since Yang Yong could hire a helicopter to transport the injured team members to San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, for treatment, why would it be so difficult to cross the pristine rainforest and fly directly to the Central Mountains by helicopter?

Why bother to suffer this sin and let the locusts not suck their blood dry, there are not many opportunities for the fun of being able to explore in person like Yang Yong. Always sitting in the office and watching others Taobao is not Yang Yong's character. That's why Yang Yong likes the fun of exploring treasures, and no matter how difficult it is, it can't wipe out Yang Yong's desire to explore.
