Chapter 272: Snow Leopard and Timing Chain
Why haven't you yet, it's almost one o'clock in the morning......
Liu Meimei reclined on the back seat of the Cherokee 2500, lifted the velvet blanket on her body in the dark night, shook her wrist, looked at the small seagull women's mechanical watch with luminous indication on her wrist, and found that the time had reached 0:35 in the morning, Liu Meimei thought to herself.
It's been a long time to stay in the car alone, she feels that her bladder is swollen so much, she wants to open the door lock and go out to release water, people have three urgency, this is unavoidable, no matter what, you can't urinate in the car, the reason for the body's metabolism made Liu Meimei deliberately ignore the invisible inexplicable fear in her mind, she decided to let it go, people can't be suffocated by urine, and others can't see it in this wasteland with a black light.
Thinking of this, Liu Meimei didn't care about anything, lifted the velvet blanket on her body, and first looked out through the window glass, there was no change near the car, except for the gravel and mud is to love shrubs and artemisia grass, and occasionally I could hear the howl of a lone wolf on the ridge of the distant mountain in the night wind of the plateau, and the wolf was far away.
Liu Meimei, who felt that there was no problem, unlocked the car door and opened the back seat door, and her feet in lightweight tourist shoes stepped on the rocky ground, just making a low sound, Liu Meimei's pair of eyes looked around again, and found that in the night, the wilderness scenery was blurred, only the snowy peaks in the far distance were dull white, and the night wind blew through her neck, a wisp of coolness made Liu Meimei take the collar of her coat, and walked lightly to a cluster of plateau red willows a few meters away, Liu Meimei observed for a while, Subconsciously decided that the cat put water in the red willow bushes, and if it didn't put water, the sphincter of the bladder would have to be suffocated.
"Hoo ......"
Liu Meimei, who squatted in the red willow bushes to release water, almost enjoyed listening to the strange sound of urine hitting the ground like a miniature fountain hitting the ground with the sedimentary rocks and soil, exhaling in a long gulp, with the release of urine in the bladder, the whole person felt much more relaxed, where to care about the urine that had been held for a long time with the unique strange smell of warm and rich mature female hormones drifting away with the wind.
"Who. Who's there? ”
Liu Meimei, who had not yet lifted her pants, felt a little cool on her ass being blown by the wind, and just as she was about to lift her pants, the woman's intuition felt that she was being peeped at by something unknown, Liu Meimei trembled suddenly, her back was a little numb, and her tail vertebrae even had a tingling sensation, Liu Meimei's expression changed greatly, and she remembered in vain that Anna and Song Xiaoshuang reminded her not to leave the off-road vehicle's instructions, and suddenly lifted the pants and buckled the belt buckle, and at the same time, she opened her throat and shouted in a low voice.
However, it seemed to be a low, powerful roar. It only stayed for a moment in the night wind of the wasteland, and then it was blown away by the night wind.
It was very quiet in the wilderness, except for the sound of the wind or the wind, nothing was found, Liu Meimei felt that she was going to suffer, the feeling of being peeped at still did not disappear, and the tingling sensation of the tail vertebrae was indeed so obvious, although this feeling was the first time it appeared on her, but Liu Meimei was not an ordinary self-driving enthusiast. There is still a certain level of ancient martial arts cultivators, and their senses are quite keen, and they already know that this is the intuition developed by human beings over thousands of years of evolution to remind them that they are in an extremely dangerous situation. The imminent danger of not seeing is the most terrifying!
Liu Meimei ran with her legs, and her legs did not go around the path to cross a few low plateau red willows, where she didn't care if the shrub branches would hook the fabric of her pants, she was only a few meters away from the off-road vehicle. It's just a blink of an eye.
However, Liu Meimei glanced behind her when she ran, and almost didn't scare her silly, a highland snow leopard with a spotted pattern that almost fits perfectly with the background of the wilderness at night. When Liu Meimei looked back, standing on a pile of huge rocks more than ten meters away, it wasn't for its tail shaking slightly, Liu Meimei didn't even find the figure of this snow leopard!
It is now the beginning of June, the snow has melted, and the territory of the snow leopard's activities is expanding rapidly, not limited to the vicinity of the snow line, and the snow leopard appears in the vast wasteland and uninhabited area of the northern Tibetan plateau of more than 4,000 meters, because the herbivorous wild Tibetan wild ass, Tibetan goat, Tibetan antelope and even hare are are active frequently in the wilderness, as a kind of top of the Tibetan food chain, the snow leopard naturally follows the migration of prey and activities.
Liu Meimei felt dizzy in her brain, rushed to the door of the off-road vehicle in a few steps, slammed into the back seat of the car and closed the door, holding her palm on her chest and panting, her heartbeat rate had already exceeded more than 100, her face was hot when her blood surged, and she was afraid in her heart, although she was an ancient martial arts cultivator, but it was only an extremely ordinary level, and it was okay to break one or two bricks on the palm of her hand, and there was no hope at all to deal with a big cat like a snow leopard, after all, she was negligent in actual combat, if she really fought with a snow leopard, The reaction speed and destructive power are not at the same level at all, and the snow leopard is injured at most and she is sure to finish the game.
When the door was slammed shut by Liu Meimei and made a bang, the snow leopard, which was more than a meter long not counting its tail, hissed in its mouth and swayed its four legs rapidly, and then jumped to the roof of the Cherokee (Liu Meimei's roof shelves were just tied to a few spare plastic water bottles, tents or something), and at least a hundred pounds of snow leopard jumped to the roof of the car, making the body shake.
Listening to the terrible sound of the snow leopard's paws scratching the plastic kettle on the roof of the car, Liu Meimei's whole person felt bad, the plastic kettle was scratched is nothing, but a wild snow leopard stays on the roof of the car, most people will be stunned, who knows when it will leave?
But fortunately, as soon as I thought about it, with a soft sound, the snow leopard on the roof of the car jumped lightly to the hood of the front of the car, the snow leopard shook its neck and turned back, a pair of slightly squinted leopard eyes flashed with fierce light, and after roaring a few times at Liu Meimei's teeth through the windshield, he immediately jumped off the hood, stood on the ground near the front of the car and raised a hind leg, and urinated a stream of urine at the front wheel of the car.
Finally gone, Liu Meimei's expression was relaxed, and she felt that the sweat on her back came out, from the snow leopard's peeing behavior, she realized that she seemed to have broken into the territory of this snow leopard's hunting, and it should also be directly related to hiding in the red willow bushes to release water, the snow leopard's sense of smell is very sensitive, and she smelled Liu Meimei's hormones-filled urine smell from a distance, and quietly ran to a nearby place without hurting people, in fact, she just wanted to warn Liu Meimei that peeing also depends on the place. This is its territory.
The feline sense is quite keen, and it already knows that Liu Meimei, the intruder, has no real threat to it, and after a warning of the peeing and low roar, it immediately left, it seems that it is not interested in Liu Meimei at all, otherwise before Liu Meimei ran to the car, she had already been pounced on the ground by the snow leopard.
The snow leopard came and went quickly, Liu Meimei didn't even see whether the snow leopard was male or female, and the nerves in the black light in the wasteland were highly tense (there were two crowbars and a wrench in the car, which was not good for the snow leopard, mainly because Liu Meimei had no confidence in defeating the snow leopard at all.) She is just a white-collar worker who knows martial arts, not a circus animal trainer), seeing that the snow leopard has finally left, and the numbness in her back has disappeared, Liu Meimei finally put her mind at ease.
However, she immediately shook her head again, the inexplicable fear in her mind did not disappear with the disappearance of the snow leopard, and she was already stubbornly staying in a corner of the depths of her brain. Or something else......
No matter. Anna didn't say anything before she came and said that the cat was in the car, Liu Meimei gritted her teeth and secretly scolded herself, feeling that the small cotton inner wrapped in her crotch was a little clammy and cold (she was frightened by the ghostly snow leopard before she finished urinating, and she lifted her pants without wiping). It's very uncomfortable, but Liu Meimei can't care about these small details, she just wants Anna and Song Xiaoshuang to come here as soon as possible, repair the car and leave the no-man's land together.
Liu Meimei, who was in the back seat of the car, looked at the seagull watch on her wrist again. Noticing that the time had reached 0:51, and it was still a few minutes before one o'clock in the morning, Liu Meimei was about to pull the velvet blanket on her body up to adjust her lying posture. In the muffled sound of the wind pouring in from the open driver's seat window, it sounded a little different, Liu Meimei was stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face, which was the low sound of the engine of an off-road vehicle driving near the ridge in the distance.
"The BAIC Double Egg (Jeep 2020) with the engine tuned, yes, it's this kind of sound, I definitely didn't hear it wrong!"
Liu Meimei got up with a grunt and her face was almost on the window glass, and she bit her lower lip and muttered to herself, wanting to find the scene of the front headlights of the nocturnal jeep twin eggs cutting through the night sky, it may be that the off-road vehicle is traveling near the valley between the ridges, and Liu Meimei's eyes were wide open and looked at the direction of the sound source for a long time, only then did she see two orange front headlights piercing the night sky, and there was still a straight line distance of more than a thousand meters from her Cherokee 2500 off-road vehicle.
Liu Meimei waited for the Jeep Shuangdan off-road vehicle with her face against the windowglass, listening to the roar of the gasoline engine engine that became louder and more familiar, as well as the orange light pillar of the original headlights dangling over the branches of the plateau shrubs, and the sound of the wheels running over the marine sedimentary rocky soil, after the light pillar of the headlights swept straight through the window glass, Liu Meimei couldn't hold back anymore, opened the door and walked out, and then stood on the front hood of the car, waving her hands while shouting: "I'm here...... I'm here ......."
What surprised Liu Meimei was that as the off-road vehicle approached, Liu Meimei found that the coming BAIC Double Egg Jeep, except for the tuned engine, did not change in the slightest, the dark green body painted, the soft top and tarpaulin triangle doors, it looked like a retro version of the BAIC Double Egg, but after a closer look, I found that it was not at all, it was a military-grade version of the Double Egg Jeep that had been retired for a long time.
With the wonder of why it hasn't been scrapped for so many years, Liu Meimei, who was standing on the hood, watched the double-egg jeep drive quickly, and the jeep drew a semicircle and stopped a few meters away when the wheels rolled, and the orange front headlight column was immediately extinguished, but a snow-bright hand-held light had already lit up next to the car door, illuminating the nearby low bushes and artemisia grass.
"Liu Meimei, you encountered a snow leopard, are you okay?"
In the sound of the car door opening and closing, Song Xiaoshuang, Anna and Yang Yifan were already standing next to the jeep, the hand-held lighting fixture was carried by Yang Yifan who got down from the back seat, and it was Anna who drove the off-road vehicle.
Anna frowned slightly and looked at Liu Meimei, who was still standing on the hood of the Cherokee 2500, and asked quickly, as a researcher at the Institute of Human Sciences, Anna, who has been on many field missions and has extremely rich field experience, has already known that there is a snow leopard that has been haunted here according to the faint smell of urine left in the wings of her nose, and the smell of urine displayed by big cats is not the first time Anna has smelled it.
"Poof!"
Liu Meimei jumped out of the hood of the car with her legs slightly bent and knees, stepped on the rocky soil with the soles of her feet and made a dull sound, stood up straight and walked slowly in front of Anna, and said in a voice full of gratitude: "I'm fine, but I was scared by it, and now I don't know where to run......
"It's okay, give you a can of Red Bull, drink the can and put it in the car and don't throw it away, we brought the Cherokee timing chain, and our colleague Xiao Yang will cooperate with you to repair the car immediately, and strive to leave here before dawn, and the snow leopard will ......come back."
Song Xiaoshuang casually threw a can of Red Bull drink to Liu Meimei, and after seeing her catch it steadily, Song Xiaoshuang said a few words noncommittally.
"I don't drink this!"
After Liu Meimei caught the drink can, she blurted out.
"Drink it, he's for your good, you're already in a state of moderate dehydration, and you're putting water in the red willow bushes? The smell of hormones is very strong, otherwise it would not attract the snow leopard. ”
Yang Yifan looked at Liu Meimei angrily, stuffed the portable lamp in her hand and pressed it in her hand, and walked quickly to the side of the Cherokee car.
Liu Meimei didn't expect this big-breasted girl who looked like she was only in her early twenties to speak so directly, her pretty face was red, and she wanted to say something, and finally shook her head or gave up in Yang Yifan's sister paper car key action, and after checking the car condition again with Yang Yifan, she propped up the engine cover of the Cherokee car, and after Yang Yifan also concluded that the timing chain was broken, she prepared the kit and prepared to unpack and replace the timing chain.
In this process, Liu Meimei finally drank the can of Red Bull drink, which made her feel strange that Anna and Song Xiaoshuang had no intention of helping at all, just standing near the car and chatting in a low voice, because the two spoke very quietly, and Liu Meimei couldn't hear it clearly.
