Chapter 668: Conflict
The Chinese Mountaineering Expedition is the only team in China that has successfully climbed Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, and is also one of the few teams in China with alpine and glacier rescue qualifications.
When Song Yanran found Zhai Lang, the leader of the Chinese expedition, and explained the situation to him, and offered to hire them to help him go to the Tianshan Glacier to find Xiao Jian, Zhai Lang agreed without hesitation. The reason why Zhai Lang agreed so happily was not because he took a fancy to the huge commission, but because he had already heard the story of Xiao Jian, and also knew that there were many internationally renowned rescue teams that had come to Huaxia to look for Xiao Jian, but they all returned in vain.
After a week of careful preparation, Shaw Group funded the purchase of the world's most advanced equipment for the Chinese expedition.
Early that morning, a huge cargo plane took off from Jinghua Airport, and the cargo hold of the plane was loaded with various equipment for glacier rescue, as well as two multi-purpose off-road vehicles.
In the small cabin, Li Moxin and Zhai Lang's six team members were all closing their eyes and recuperating. Although Zhai Lang already knew the purpose of this trip, he wanted to say something to Li Moxin, but seeing that this beautiful woman had been gloomy since she got on the plane, she was afraid that she would be bored, so she dispelled this idea.
After several hours of flight, the plane landed safely at Tianshan City Airport.
Zhai Lang and the team loaded all the equipment into the car, Li Moxin got into the co-pilot of the first car, and Zhai Lang played the role of the driver.
"Ahem, Mr. Li, shall we go directly to the glacier?" Zhai Lang looked at Li Moxin and asked cautiously.
"Yes! Captain Zhai, it's up to you this time. Li Moxin's mood was very excited.
"Mr. Li, you are polite, this is what we should do, not to mention that the Shaw Group has such a high commission." Zhai Lang started the car as he spoke.
"It would be nice if Uncle Lutong was here." Li Moxin seemed to be talking to herself.
"Mr. Li, what did you say?" Zhai Lang was confused when he heard it.
"Oh! The glacier is so big, where should we start? Li Moxin didn't explain too much, but asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Li, before entering the glacier, we should go to the management committee to apply for a pass, otherwise we won't be able to enter the glacier at all." Zhai Lang reminded Li Moxin.
"Is it cumbersome?" Li Moxin asked.
"This, it's hard to say, generally speaking, you need to apply a month in advance, Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I'm also negligent about this." Zhai Lang blamed himself a little, he thought that with such a large company as the Xiao Group, he had already communicated with the Tianshan Glacier Management Committee, but it was not until his subordinates contacted the Glacier Management Committee just now that they knew that the procedures for entering the glacier had not been completed.
"It's too late, let's go over directly, and we'll talk about it then." Li Moxin didn't want to delay a little time now, her heart was full of Xiao Jian.
"Okay then." Zhai Lang had no choice but to agree, and said wherever he went. Anyway, there is the vice president of the Shaw Group, and he is only responsible for finding someone to save people......
In recent years, with the warming of the earth, the melting rate of glaciers has accelerated year by year, coupled with the influence of human activities, the glaciers have shrunk severely, and the glacier tongue has retreated more than 10 kilometers.
In order to protect the Tianshan Glacier, Tianshan City has now banned non-professional expedition and scientific research teams from entering, even if professional exploration and scientific research teams want to enter, they must apply in advance, and only one team is allowed to enter the glacier hinterland at a time. Therefore, it is not easy to get a glacier pass.
As for the thousands of tourists who come to admire the beauty of the glacier, they can only watch from afar, and at most stay on the edge of the glacier tongue for a while to feel the charm of the ancient glacier.
When Li Moxin and Zhai Lang's team came to the edge of the Tianshan Glacier, it was already nightfall. Everyone was so sleepy that they hadn't even eaten a hot meal for days of driving all night.
The glacier was in front of him, and although Li Moxin was anxious, she still asked Zhai Lang to find a yurt hotel and chartered a few rooms.
Zhai Lang and his team members drank some wine during the meal, and then went to rest early, they knew that they would enter the glacier starting tomorrow, and countless hardships were still waiting for them in front of them.
Li Moxin didn't have much appetite, and after a few simple bites, she walked out of the yurt hotel alone.
After walking for half an hour, Li Moxin came to a railing, and beyond the railing was an endless ancient glacier.
The moon is round tonight, and countless stars appear and disappear in the deep night sky. The reflection of the moonlight on the ice in the distance is very beautiful against the starlight and moonlight in the sky.
The beautiful scenery in front of her couldn't arouse Li Moxin's interest at all, she held on to the railing and looked into the distance and said to herself: "Xiao Jian, can you hear what I said?" I know you're inside, why on earth did you abandon us and come to this cold world alone? You have endured so much pain for me, if you have a good one this time, I don't want to live alone, I am willing to accompany you to sleep under the glacier, you will never be lonely, lonely. Xiao Jian, I love you......"
"Alas! ……”
Suddenly, a slight sigh was heard in the distance.
"Who?" Li Moxin was taken aback and hurriedly turned back to look for it, but where was there anyone, there was only moonlight and starlight all over the ground.
This season is the off-season for tourism, and Li Moxin didn't meet any tourists on the way here, but she clearly heard the sigh, which was really real.
Thinking that she would enter the glacier tomorrow, Li Moxin also felt sleepy, and she turned around and walked towards the yurt hotel.
When Li Moxin's figure disappeared into the moonlight in the distance, an old man walked out from behind a dirt bag, he looked at the direction of Li Moxin's departure, shook his head slightly, and two lines of muddy tears fell down his cheeks, "Alas, ask what is the situation in the world, the straight sect promises life and death, Xiao Jian, are you still alive?" ”
Early the next morning, Li Moxin and Zhai Lang packed up their equipment after breakfast and came to the glacier.
"Stop! What do you do? ”
They were stopped by several security guards wearing red armbands on their arms.
"We're here to save people." Zhai Lang hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Saving people? Who to save? Why didn't we get a call for help? One of the security guards was puzzled and looked Li Moxin up and down.
"My lover may have fallen into the glacier, and I will go in and search for him." Li Moxin stepped forward and said.
"What's your lover's name? When did he get in? The man looked at Li Moxin and asked.
"This." Li Moxin was speechless for a while, because she only suspected that Xiao Jian was in the glacier, and how could she know when Xiao Jian entered.
"As soon as I saw you, you were rich people coming to look for excitement, no, you can't go in." That person has worked in the glacier scenic spot for many years, and he can see at a glance that the equipment Zhai Lang and the others carry are worth a lot of money, and they are all famous foreign brands. Therefore, it was determined that Li Moxin and they were a group of rich children who came to play.
"We're really here to find someone, big brother, you can be accommodating." Zhai Lang hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to the man.
The man was not polite, took the cigarette and lit it and took a deep breath, "Good smoke, I said brother, even if you are really here to find someone, you need to apply for a permit to enter the glacier, but even if you have a permit, you can't enter this week, because there is already a German expedition inside, according to the regulations, you have to go to the back, as for when you can enter, it's hard to say." ”
"Nope! We must get in now! Li Moxin was anxious when she heard this, and she ran over the railing towards the glacier in the distance.
"Holy! This is crazy! The man did not expect a beautiful woman who seemed to be weak to move so quickly, and he staggered, and then climbed over the railing and chased after him. Judging from his movements, he should be a person who has practiced martial arts.
The man caught up with Li Moxin in a few steps, stretched out his hand and pulled, Li Moxin's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, his body covered with mud.
"Damn, are you looking for death?" The man pulled Li Moxin outward, no wonder he was angry, because the glacier management committee has a rule that if a person is put in without authorization, their security guard's performance salary will be deducted in full.
"Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Li!"
Zhai Lang saw Li Moxin fall and was worried about her safety, so he hurriedly jumped into the railing with a few people.
The rest of the security guards saw the situation and all jumped in.
The glacier was in front of her but she couldn't go in to find her lover, Li Moxin was anxious, where was there still a little bit of everyone's lady and vice president, she struggled to break free from the person.
When the man saw that someone had entered again, he couldn't help but become impatient, and dragged Li Moxin back hard. Li Moxin couldn't help but fly backwards and fell to the ground again.
"If you don't let in, you won't let in! How do you hit someone? Zhai Lang stopped, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist.
"Shout! Why do you still want to do it with me? The man glanced at Zhai Lang with contempt and said disdainfully
