Sou!

Wulan said this and took the lead and was the first to rush into the hole.

The small glasses Chen Yong cat body followed closely behind.

I didn't rush in, but glanced back, and I found that behind Zhang Man, who was staggering, there was no blue moon and Lu Tongtong.

I stopped Zhang Man and asked, "What about your teammates?" Where did Lu Tongtong go. ”

Zhang Man looked frightened, pointed outside and said, "That woman, that one is called Lan ...... The woman of the Blue Moon, we just discussed that we should take her to the place where her teammates disappeared, and I ...... We refused to go, so she took out a knife, held Tongtong, and ran away from there. ”

After saying that, Zhang Man couldn't take care of it, because the snakes were getting denser and denser, and the exit had been blocked to death. She threw herself into my arms, caught her breath, and burrowed into the hole as well.

I glanced at Xiaoru.

Xiao Ru said firmly: "Give me your knife." ”

I pulled out the crooked lotus and handed it over.

Xiaoru: "I'll go find that woman, you hurry up and follow them, that big and tall man, one person can't take care of two people, you have to go with them." ”

"Then you ......"

"Leave me alone, I'll settle accounts with that woman!" Xiao Ru took the knife, swished, and with the help of the small stones piled on the ground, she jumped her body flexibly, all the way, and ran straight out of the mountain recess.

This little Ru! Why didn't she make it clear!

I stomped my foot, didn't care about that, followed Zhang Man, and got into the hole together.

The battle a few decades ago was fought very fiercely.

The Japanese army and our army fought on this plateau and mountain, and the tunnels dug almost completely hollowed out several large mountains. Therefore, inside this mountain, there are winding underground passages everywhere.

When I got into the cave and found it very dark, I took out my ZIPO lighter and looked around.

The firelight illuminated Zhang Man's jacket in front of me, and I stared at Zhang Man closely, and said loudly as I walked: "Wulan, do you hear me?" ”

"I hear you."

"Does the map you have in your hand work? Where are we? ”

"No, there are too many forks in the road, we must find an exit and get out of here right away."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, you lead the way."

"No problem."

We crawled behind Wulan.

Fortunately, most of the underground passages dug decades ago are connected, so people don't have to worry about breathing inside.

We walked all the way, walked for more than half an hour, and then turned to an upward slope.

Then another section, another steep incline that kept going up at an angle of nearly 60 degrees.

After about four hours of marching, we were all tired and covered in mud.

Eventually, Wulan found a hole that opened to the outside world, and we walked through the thick grass to a coniferous forest belt on the mountainside.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, it can be seen that the rain outside has stopped.

Wulan and I used a scimitar and an ordnance shovel to clean up the weeds and thorns near the entrance of the cave. Eventually, we widened the hole a little more.

I got some dry firewood, built a fire, and let Zhang Man and Chen Yong go in to roast the fire.

Wulan and I sat side by side at the entrance of the cave, staring at the fog that filled the mountains after the rain.

At this time, Wu Lan took out a silver cigarette case from his pocket, opened the lid, turned out a cigarette paper, shook off some strange tobacco grains similar to rice grains, rolled a cigarette, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a deep breath.

The air was instantly filled with a strong, fragrant smell of tobacco.

I looked at it and smiled and said, "Mo Heyan? ”

Wulan: "Well, do you want one?" ”

I waved my hand.

At this time, Wulan lowered her voice, pointed to Chen Yong behind me and said, "That kid, I still vaguely remember the way I came, but I asked him to take me, and he didn't take me." ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

At this moment, Chen Yong spoke.

"That's not where people go, especially in this season, where ......"

Zhang Man grabbed the words at this time: "That is the plateau thunderstorm area, it is the rainy season now, and the plateau thunderstorms are very frequent. Once you go up, not to mention electronic devices, even if you have a metal button on your body, it will kill you in an instant! ”

"What? Plateau thunderstorms? Wu Lan looked surprised.

I noticed that when Wu Lan said this, her facial muscles trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.

I didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Man calmly, and said word by word: "Why did you go to that place?" ”

Zhang Man took a deep breath and said, "We have known about the Hump route for a long time, and we also know that there are many World War II planes crashed on this route. So, we made a plan for such an expedition with the intention of finding a plane that had wrecked. ”

Next, Zhang Man told me that on the night of the incident, they were planning to walk down a small road. Suddenly, someone saw dark clouds in the distance, accompanied by very terrible lightning.

It was suggested that the plane that crashed was a metal object, and that it was a plateau with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The thunderstorms that form here are classified as plateau thunderstorms.

And plateau thunderstorms are very sensitive to metal, perhaps, following the trail of thunderstorms, it is possible to find the wrecked plane.

So, they changed their route.

Keep moving in the direction you see the thunderstorm.

As a result, they walked for a whole day and night, and according to Zhang Man's estimates, the speed at which they advanced was not low, at least 40 kilometers.

And then......

The group walked to the thunderstorm area.

Zhang Man said that when the first lightning bolt fell from the sky, they were all stupid.

The thunder and lightning were so terrible that they seemed to flicker around them.

All electronic equipment, all destroyed.

Even the keys on his body sparked electric sparks, and every drop of rain falling from the sky seemed to carry an electric charge and fell on people, numb and crispy.

Zhang Man's boyfriend is an old traveler who often travels back and forth to Tibet, and at that time, he loudly told everyone to throw away all the metal objects on his body.

People didn't dare to leave anything, and the metal objects on their bodies, even a metal button, were torn off and thrown away.

Subsequently, Zhang Man's boyfriend informed everyone to disperse, put his head down in place, lie tightly on the ground, and never look up.

And when Zhang Man talked about this.

Wulan muttered: "He did the right thing, don't leave any metal objects, lie on the ground with your head down, and then cover your ears, no matter how loud the thunder is, don't look up to see ......"

I glanced at Wulan.

Wulan: "That's how a dozen sheep in my farm died, with bells around their necks, and then I saw them scorched in an instant by the thunder and lightning falling from the sky. ”

Wulan's home is in the Tian Shan Mountains, where the natural pastures are extremely high and are also prone to thunderstorms on the plateau.

Zhang Man continued: "We escaped the first thunderstorm and the rest of the day went well, we planned to go to a nearby herder settlement, but that's when the unexpected happened, and four of us went missing. And one of them is my boyfriend, Xia Fan! ”

Ms. Zhang said her boyfriend fell into a strange crevice with three other people. It's strange because it has a not-so-solid layer of dirt on the surface, and on the ground, it acts like a natural trap. When a person steps on it, it is easy to fall into it.

The cracks in the stone were very deep, and they were covered with all kinds of weeds and thorns, and people stood on them and could not see the bottom. You can only get in touch by shouting.

Zhang Man, of course, they all gathered around the stone crevice, discussing whether to go down to the rescue.

At this time, the second thunderstorm appeared.

So, in the following days, Zhang Man and his entourage avoided the constant thunderstorms while throwing the supplies on their bodies deep into the stone crevices.

Until the end......

There was no echo from the cracks.

When Zhang Man said this, two lines of tears came out of his eyes.

And by this time, I finally knew what the difficulty of this rescue was.

Plateau thunderstorm!

A harsh highland climate that humans have little way to overcome.

Normally, people who live in inland areas are basically afraid to go out when they encounter thunderstorms.

What's more, this is a plateau!

And there are many unknown characteristics of plateau thunderstorms, such as the intensity of lightning, the intensity of air charge when the thunderstorm is generated, and so on.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if you do your homework, you're in the middle of a thunderstorm.

There is still an 80 percent chance of being struck by lightning.

These group of travelers have survived until now, not only because of their fate, but also because of their fate!

I thought about it calmly.

Xiao Ru shouldn't have to worry about me, she is not an ordinary woman, and it is definitely more than enough to deal with that hunting girl Blue Moon.

Now, the center of gravity should be shifted to the four travelers trapped in the crevice.

In the thunderstorm weather on the plateau, ordinary rescuers do not dare to go up at all!

What's more, basically all rescue equipment is metal components, and when you get there, not only can it not help, but it is the fuse of death!

Thinking of this, I said to Wulan: "You take someone back first, and I will find a way to go to the place where the accident happened." ”

Wulan was stunned: "Go further, it may be a thunderstorm high incidence area, that dangerous ......"

I smiled: "The ancients all said, a gentleman should not pretend, pretend, thunder, pawn!" Today, I'm going to pretend to be a bit of a game to see if God can kill me! ”

Zhang Man came out of the cave and said to me, "This gentleman, I'll go with you!" I can probably remember the route. ”

I was stunned: "You are a girl, you ......"

Zhang Man bit his lower lip: "Because, my boyfriend is inside!" ”

Come on! With this sentence thrown by this girl, I will go back and rescue that buddy, if he marries Zhang Man, I won't do it!

At this time, I asked Wulan, "Do you have any medicine on you?" ”

Wu Lan took the big bag and looked at it: "There are only some simple emergency medicines left." ”

With that in mind, I took the bag I was carrying and poured out all the contents.

All metal, even a needle, I gave it to Wulan, and I kept only some of the usual medicines for dealing with poisonous insect bites and surgery.

Next, I used a big scimitar to sharpen two bamboo knives, handed one to Zhang Man, and kept one for myself.

When I was done, I said to Wulan, "Do you remember that woman?" The woman named Blue Moon. ”

Wu Lan nodded: "Remember." ”

I said, "She's not a good thing, and when you see her again, you have to find a way to control her." ”

Wu Lan nodded: "I understand!" ”

I asked Wulan to return with Chen Yong first, and at the same time I told him about Tashi and Tang Xiaoxuan, and told him that if he could meet these two people on the road, he would relay my news to them.

Wulan said no problem.

Before leaving, Wu Lan took out two large bags of military compressed biscuits, a large box of high-heat dark chocolate, and two canned military beef from his large backpack.

The canned food was packed in tinplate, and it was inconvenient to bring it, so we looked for something to open and eat it out.

After packing up, I beckoned to Zhang Man: "Come on!" You show me the way. ”

Zhang Man nodded, holding the bamboo knife tightly in his hand, and went into battle with me easily.

I didn't let Wulan go with him, because I saw 'fear' in his eyes.

Yes, if he hadn't seen his sheep killed by lightning and the horrors of thunderstorms on the plateau, he might have walked with me.

But now, he has a fear in his heart, and forcing him to go on the road again is likely to cause tragedy.

Waving goodbye to Wu Lan, I turned my head and asked Zhang Man, "Do you know the specific location?" ”

Zhang Man bit his lip and thought: "I only know one direction, the northwest!" Head northwest. ”

Northwest......

Isn't that the road to Tibet?

Nothing to say, let's go!

For the next two days, Zhang Man and I kept going over the mountains and mountains, adjusting the lower position from time to time. At night, just find a stone depression or a mountain depression, and put your clothes together for a night.

During this period, Zhang Man told me that she didn't want to leave, and even thought about jumping off the stone crack to save her boyfriend. But when it mattered, reason triumphed over fanaticism. She told herself that she had to go back alive, and then gave an explanation to her boyfriend's family. If necessary, she will do her best to take care of her boyfriend's parents for the rest of her life.

Hearing this, I asked Zhang Man what made her change her mind.

Zhang Man said, it's you!

On the morning of the third day, we came to a large mountain with sparse grass.

Zhang Man raised his hand, looked at the mountain and said, "That's it, turn over the mountain, I think, I can know the way." ”

Zhang Man and I chewed a large piece of dark chocolate.

Then, before the sun set, we climbed the hillside.

Here, the altitude is already very high.

The air was filled with strong water vapor.

I took Zhang Man's hand, leaned on a cane, and struggled to climb up.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew.

The clouds and mist changed suddenly, and then, not far away, a large black cloud, like thousands of galloping horses, was roaring towards the mountain.

I looked at the black clouds, and the next second, I heard rumbling thunder from deep in the clouds.

Zhang Man's face turned white for a moment.

I decisively said, "Quick! Come on! Do you see the big meadow in front of you? Let's run there! ”

What a tree, behind the rocks! It's all nonsense.

I haven't personally experienced a highland thunderstorm, but I've heard of it a few times.

I remember that time when I was home from vacation, I read a fantasy novel, and Dao Ye smiled and flipped through a few chapters, and then he said: "This author, shouldn't write like this, author, you have to experience life." If he had been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and seen a thunderstorm there, he would have experience......

So, I heard from Dao Ye about the many characteristics of plateau thunderstorms.

At the same time, I also know that when encountering this kind of ghost weather, don't run into the woods and depressions.

Be sure to run to the open, preferably grassy, and get down naturally......

I took Zhang Man's hand and ran wildly.

I ran for about 300 meters.

Zhang Man gasped: "No, I really can't run." ”

I gritted my teeth and was about to say something, when suddenly I saw a light in front of me.

The brightness is as if someone has shaken your eyes with a wolf's eye flashlight, so that you can't see anything in an instant.

I know, they're coming!

In the next second, I knocked down Zhang Man and lay flat on the damp and soft grass with her.

Boom!

To be honest, words can't describe that kind of shock.

It was as if the sky and the earth were trembling at the same time, and the huge thunder roared like a heavy sledgehammer falling on the heart, stopping the heartbeat and blocking the breath.

Airplanes......

My mind went blank for a moment.

In my ears, there were bursts of insect chirping.

I closed my eyes, covered my ears, and began to accept the baptism of the highland thunderstorm!
