Chapter 348: Accidents Repeatedly
The convoy went all the way west, from Hotan Road through Pishan, and finally spent four hours diverting from Yecheng directly into the Kunlun Mountains, driving along 219, and after another few hours, the car stopped on the side of the road, and everyone abandoned the car and walked instead, heading for an unknown destination.
And after abandoning the car, the speed of progress slowed down significantly.
Everywhere you look, there are lofty mountains, barren plains, and the snow in the mountains, and everyone forms a long and winding line and slowly advances all the way, as if entering a paradise that few people visit.
Well, this place is not a paradise, at least for some people, such as Zuo Chengkun and the old man Ram.
"After all, it's a plateau, and the climate change is too big." Looking at the team in front of him who had to stop to rest, Tang Long was helpless for a while.
How many times has this been along the way?
3 times?
Or 4 times?
Isn't it half the time it takes to get on the road?
"I really don't know why Xuanyuan Di brought so many people, and I don't know if the next journey can continue."
Shaking his head, it seemed that he had to get out of the horse, put down the hiking bag on his body, took out a flask from it, and walked over.
"How's it going?" Seeing Xuanyuan Di in front of him, Tang Long casually handed over the wine jug and asked.
"What is this?" Xuanyuan, who was one of the two big ones, took the wine jug curiously, opened it and sniffed it, his eyes lit up, "Is it the original brew of life?" ”
"Well, this thing should alleviate altitude sickness." Tang Long nodded and said.
"Great, I'm worried, you wait first, I'll divide the things!" As he spoke, Xuanyuan had already left, which made Tang Long shake his head again.
Soon there was a commotion in the distance. Tang Long glanced up and smiled gracefully, it seemed that his inherited name was really typed.
Not long after, Xuanyuan walked over.
"The situation is not optimistic, and at such a speed, it is simply impossible to reach the destination within the stipulated time." Xuanyuan handed the flask back to Tang Long. With a depressed face, he simply sat on the ground, "It's really not good, so I can only let someone escort them back." ”
Tang Long also sat down, and nodded slightly after hearing Xuanyuandi's words.
Indeed, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let those who have severe altitude sickness go back first, after all, the original brew of life can only alleviate this reaction, not cure it.
After thinking about it, Tang Long asked, "Where is that place?" That's right. In such a hurry, are people from abroad already taking action? Also, you let Old Man Zuo and them follow, do you need to use Old Man Zuo and them in that place? ”
In fact, Tang Long didn't plan to ask these questions originally, anyway, for him, it didn't matter if he asked these questions or not.
However, the current situation made Tang Long a little worried, after all, since Xuanyuan Di took Old Man Zuo and them, they must have their own role. And now Old Man Zuo is leaving a few of them, and I don't know if it will have an impact. He was a little worried.
"It's a bit of an impact, there's something special about that place, we should be a little easier with them, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted time waiting for them, maybe I've already arrived by now."
"But while it helps, it doesn't have to be. Now that this has become the case, it is up to us to see what happens. ”
With a sigh, Xuanyuan spoke, "As for why it's so urgent, as you expected. Those people have already done something. ”
"We got the news a month ago that people from several countries have already set off, and according to the time, they must have been on their way at this time, and they may have even walked ahead of us at this time."
As he spoke, Regulus raised his hand and pointed ahead, as if to point to the direction of the place.
Staring into the distance, there were mountains in the distance, but Tang Long's expression was extremely solemn.
Got a head start?
That's not good news!
You must know that Tang Long has great expectations for that place, and once he gains something this time, it will play a vital role in his next plan!
Whether it's a copy or a development, or the development of Reality Villa!
"If they get there first, will they be able to get in?" Retracting his gaze, Tang Long asked with a frown.
"It's hard to say, after all, their situation is different from ours, and that place is already on the border line, with the convenience of India, presumably they are not less tempted, so it should be similar to our situation, but since they have been dispatched, they must have a certain certainty." Xuanyuan said.
At this time, Tang Long's brows furrowed even deeper, because judging from what Xuanyuan said, the situation seemed to be a little stricter than he thought!
"In this way, you first arrange for someone to send Old Man Zuo and them away, and then call someone who can still hold on to it, and we will set off immediately! It can be faster is some! If you continue like this, you will really have to be preempted by others! ”
Although Old Man Zuo has rich experience in archaeology, according to Xuanyuandi, it may be of great help to them, but now this situation is not helpful or not, the key is time, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic!
Xuanyuan Di is also a decisive person, and he obviously already has this kind of idea, so after chatting with Tang Long, he immediately went to arrange a few people to send Old Man Zuo and them back.
And worried about what would happen in the future, Xuanyuan simply sent some people who were not in good shape together, so as not to affect the next trip again.
After sending off Old Man Zuo and them, everyone's speed was obviously much faster.
But then the trouble came again, because it was snowing!
And it's the kind where the snow is heavy, and the whole field of vision is shrouded in white!
"What now?" Tang Long smiled bitterly and looked at Xuanyuan Di next to him, who also had an ugly face.
"I had no choice but to camp on the spot and find a place to shelter from the snow." Xuanyuan shook his head, and Tang Long could only nod his head.
There is no way, although with his ability, this situation will not have any effect, but other people can't, let alone ordinary people. Even a 'strong man' like Xuanyuan Di can't take risks in this kind of snowy weather, so he can only hide.
Fortunately, this time Xuanyuan was very well prepared, and he brought a lot of dry food and everything, even if it snowed for a few days and nights.
A group of people are busy before and after. Soon several tents were erected against a rock.
The stove was lit, the snow wind was howling outside, but the water mist was steaming inside, and they were sitting around in coats one by one, and Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Everyone take a rest, this snow is estimated to be unable to stop for a while." ”
"Rest, rest! It just so happened that I was really feeling a little tired. Zuo Yaohua coaxed with a hippie smile on the side.
This kid is quite jumpy, originally the old man Zuo was sent away, Tang Long thought that this kid would leave with him, but he didn't expect this guy to stay with a dead face.
"Rest for now. I'm going to prepare something to eat, so who's going to come with me! ”
Since he was resting, he naturally had to take the opportunity to replenish his body, and soon someone began to prepare food.
"By the way, Instructor Xuanyuan, how far are we from our destination?"
I have been in a hurry all the way, and everyone has not bothered to ask these questions, and now I have to be free. Finally asked.
However, this question did not need to be answered by Xuanyuan, but someone next to him helped answer: "We should be more than an hour away from the border." But it's a straight-line distance, and if the road is not good, it will take more than half a day, right? ”
Xuanyuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, if nothing else, there should be half a day to go." ”
"Half a day?" The questioner nodded slightly.
The problem was quickly ignored by everyone, and a group of people gathered around and began to make food in a hurry.
"There should be no problem." Wait until the crowd disperses. Tang Long sat down next to Xuanyuan and asked in a low voice.
Xuanyuan looked at Tang Long, and saw Tang Long looking out with a solemn gaze, and instantly knew what Tang Long was worried about, he shook his head: "There should be no problem." The snow was so heavy that even if someone walked ahead of us, they would have to be delayed. ”
"That's right." Tang Long nodded.
But I'm still not at ease, after all, who can say for sure this kind of thing, what if this snow is falling on them?
But now thinking about this is obviously useless, and he can only hope that the other party is in the same situation as them.
"By the way, Mr. Tang, I've always wanted to ask you a question, that is, why do you have to come with me?" Xuanyuan suddenly looked at Tang Long and asked.
In fact, Xuanyuan has wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Although they had already asked when they were in Beijing, Tang Long had already given them an answer at that time, that is, to follow out for a long time, they didn't think much about it at that time.
But now Xuanyuan Di doesn't think so anymore, and the more they get along, the more Xuanyuan Di feels that Tang Long seems to be a little mysterious.
This mystery is not a mystery of identity, but an intuitive feeling.
It is precisely for this reason that Xuanyuan feels that Tang Long follows this time, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as 'long knowledge'!
In the past few days, Xuanyuan has been thinking about Tang Long's problem, not to mention how it is handed down, just the heirloom commodities have already made him feel something unusual!
Flames, sources of life, grandmaster art, and more!
Is this qiē really something that an ordinary farmer can do?
It is clear that this is simply not possible!
Of course, this is not only him, many people are suspicious, but they all think that Tang Long has a big backing behind him and selectively ignore it.
However, even if Tang Long had a big backing?
Obviously, because of this 'backing', many people ignore some superficial problems!
Not to mention the issue of backing, what about Tang Long himself?
If he can have such a backing, is it easy for Tang Long?
If Tang Long didn't have anything special, he would get the attention and full support of that so-called backing, so that he would be relieved to take care of such an important thing?
So what is the relationship between Tang Long and that so-called 'backing'?
And what's even more critical is that even with the power of the country, it is still impossible to find out who is the backing behind Tang Long!
This makes it even more terrifying!
As soon as this question came out, Tang Long was stunned for a moment, but he immediately laughed, and he heard the confusion in Xuanyuandi's words: "Didn't I say it?" I just came out to see for a long time, well, by the way, I also came out to travel, after all, staying in one place all the time will rust. ”
Xuanyuan Di still looked at Tang Long intently, Tang Long obviously didn't believe what Tang Long said, but he also knew that there were some things that Tang Long would not answer him no matter how much he asked, and this topic was also a little sensitive, after all, even the old people above had deliberately emphasized not to ask too much about Tang Long's affairs, so no matter how much Xuanyuan Di doubted, he could only keep it in his heart.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, but I said in advance, you can follow, but don't do something out of the ordinary, otherwise ......" Otherwise, Xuanyuan didn't say.
But even if Xuanyuan didn't say it, Tang Long knew what he wanted to say, and Tang Long could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
"Don't worry, your worries will not happen, after all, I am also Chinese."
"It's for the best." Xuanyuan nodded, did not continue to look at Tang Long, looked outside the tent, and did not speak again.
The snow is really big, a moment of effort to make the original bare ~ exposed rocks outside are covered by white, the snow is piled up in a thick layer, and people need to clean up the snow on both sides of the tent from time to time halfway, so as not to crush the tent, or be buried directly, the whirring wind has not stopped for a moment, it seems to have become an eternal background music, and the cold temperature makes everyone feel a kind of coldness.
However, Tang Long couldn't feel this kind of coldness, and his mana was slightly urged, directly resisting this coldness.
In addition to him, it is estimated that Xuanyuan Land is better, and even the two brothers and sisters of Wu Que and the soldiers brought by Xuanyuan Land feel the cold.
"It's okay now, the distance that can be reached in half a day is estimated to not be able to arrive in a day or two."
Glancing at the heavy snow outside, he didn't mean to stop at all, and then looked at the people whose cheeks were a little blue from the cold, Tang Long was very helpless in his heart, and they didn't know how long the snow was going to fall, which made people even more uneasy.
Not to mention Tang Long's side, just when Tang Long was secretly worried in his heart, on the other side, on a snow-capped mountain that was not too far away from them!
No one here, knowing that in a few minutes, an earth-shattering horror from nature was about to take place!
Ten people, all dressed in camouflage uniforms, equipped with professional mountaineering and cross-country equipment, equipped with several weapons, and a piece of precision instruments!
Perhaps because of their well-equipped, or self-confidence, these ten people are still moving slowly even in the heavy snow!
"Falk squid! Fast, fast, fast, fast!! Ike, haven't you found it yet? Hurry up and find me !! I don't want to die in this place!! ”
"It's right ahead! I've seen the terrain just now, and there's a rock crevice over there where we can hide! ”
"Damn it! Damn it! Hurry up! Do you want to die! Give me the ~~ fast! ”
Well, misunderstood, this group of people is not confident in themselves...... (To be continued...... )
