Chapter 309: Snow Mountain Scientific Expedition
Forty minutes later, Minnie drove her beige-colored GM pickup truck to the small town of Grizzly on the side of the canyon in the foothills.
This is a town named after an Indian tribe, although the terrain is remote, but next to the highest peak of the Rocky Mountains, Albert Snow Peak, the town is supported by foreign tourists, and the Indian Folk Museum and the Stream Fishing Championship also make the grizzly town famous.
Min Ni drove straight to a motel in the town, checked in and put away her luggage, walked to the town, and found the rich second-generation son Gordon and his blonde girlfriend Daisy in the vacation apartment next to the stream at the end of the town.
The reason why Min Ni said that it was good to meet the two in Grizzly Town was actually because she had already planned to climb Elbert Peak again and conduct adaptive mountaineering training, laying a solid foundation for completing the feat of seven plus two in her heart (Seven plus two refers to the highest peak on each continent plus the North Pole and the South Pole, and so far, there are very few explorers and mountaineers who have successfully completed it), since Gordon intends to contact her, Min Ni simply asked the two to wait for her in Grizzly Town.
As the daughter of a well-known Asian business leader in the Americas, Min Ni, who is in her twenties, has no worries about the economy, and her years of mountaineering career have exercised her physique, and the immediate goal is to challenge K2 Peak, and climbing Elbert Peak again is to do adaptive training for climbing K2 Peak.
It just so happened that the American Committee for the Investigation of Anomalies organized a scientific expedition team to go to the snow-capped mountains of Tibet, China, to carry out scientific expedition activities, and also extended an olive branch to her and invited her to join the team.
Of course, Min Ni knew about the American Commission for the Investigation of Anomalies as a quasi-governmental organization, with a wide public opinion base around the world, and the ability to gather resources from all sides, and the fax list sent to her by that expedition had the names of several world-renowned explorers. It has already made Minny's heart flutter.
Climbing the snow-capped mountains of Tibet with these well-trained and experienced explorers is an irresistible attraction for a rich second-generation "explorer" like Min Ni.
Although Min Ni has been training in mountaineering since she was a teenager and has successfully climbed many snowy peaks after paying a lot of money, she is too young after all, and most of the real mountaineer explorers have passed the hurdle of 30 years old by the time they achieve brilliant success. At the peak of her abilities, Min Ni and them are simply incomparable, and lessons take time to accumulate over time.
When she noticed the names of Gordon and Daisy on the list drawn up on the fax file, Minnie felt the need to conduct an investigation, relying on her father's connections as a leader of the Chinese business circle and paying a lot of money, the detailed background of Gordon and Daisy was quickly known to Minny, and it was out of curiosity that a rich second-generation son like Gordon appeared in the list of the expedition team, and Minny promised Gordon to meet once in Grizzly Town.
In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story. It is not surprising that two rich second generations, who were not familiar with each other before and had no contact at all, met in a scenic national park to discuss matters, knowing that the North American business district is so big, and it is normal for the son of an arms tycoon to exchange interests with the daughter of a Chinese business district leader.
Only a few people will know that what the two rich second generations want to exchange opinions about whether to decide to go to Tibet in China to climb the snow mountains with the group, but there is no such thing as a union of interests in the shopping mall, but it is only because of similar life experiences that the two finalized this meeting.
Min Ni wears a beige crewneck athletic thin fleece sweater and light blue casual jeans. Finding Gordon and Daisy by the stream on the side of the vacation apartment with free hands.
Gordon and Daisy, dressed in sky-blue casual denim couple outfits, are sitting on a pony on the grass by the stream. Holding a fishing rod in a stream with a width of more than ten meters and a depth of nearly one meter, the fish basket by the aquatic grass looks like a lot of catches, the stream fishing championship has been over for several days, there are only a few people in the nearby river section, after the guidance of the waiter of the holiday apartment, Minni quickly found it in the somewhat hot sun. Gordon and Daisy, who don't even wear a visor.
After seeing Daisy for the first time, Min Ni muttered to herself in her heart, this foreign woman is very talented, she can't tan at all, and Gordon, who has tanned skin around her, compares with her. It's a lot worse.
"Hello, I'm Gordon, you look younger and more beautiful than in the photos!"
After noticing Minnie approaching with her free hands, Gordon stood up with the fishing rod in his hand, and when he introduced himself in English, he stretched out his right hand arm with a lot of black and hard hairs on his arm, and spread his palm to shake hands with Minny.
Gordon has also already investigated Min Ni's identity and background, and knows that the Chinese woman with American nationality next to her pays more attention to the expression of Chinese culture, and it is okay to shake hands, but she is grateful for hugging something, and once beat up a boy of the same grade who tried to hug her unknowingly on the college campus, and it seems that she has a cow-like upper curve and a beautiful face, which can only feast her eyes, and anyone who really wants to take advantage will regret it very much.
It is said that this girl has practiced Huaquan since she was a child, and it is no problem to fight a few at a time, plus her father is a low-key leader of the Chinese business circle, only people with stupid brains will rush to the braincase, trying to kiss Fang Ze and then be beaten by Haibian. Gordon is not a fool, of course, he still follows the rules, just shake hands, otherwise Minny will kick him into the stream a meter deep next to him.
Min Ni only shook Gordon's hand lightly and took her palm away, because she felt something slimy on her palm, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was stained with the slime of the earthworm used for bait, and a smell of earthy smell was fanning on the wing of Min Ni's nose.
Gordon's expression became a little embarrassed, and he was caught up in fishing, and when Minny first arrived, he had just hung an earthworm on a fishing hook and threw the rod into the stream, forgetting to wash his hands.
Seeing Gordon's embarrassed look, Daisy, the blonde beauty next to her, opened a pair of light blue eyes and glanced at Gordon, quickly stretched out her right hand and shook hands with Minni, when the two women held hands, Daisy spoke a typical American Chinese Chinese.
"Well, that, we're trout fishing, do you want to give it a try, it's fun......"
Daisy's spoken Chinese is relatively nasal and does not sound very standard. However, her intention to try to ease the awkward atmosphere was achieved immediately.
Min Ni can't be called a real fishing enthusiast, after hearing Daisy's words, she immediately forgot the earthy smell on her hands, a smile appeared on her face and nodded slightly, Daisy quickly found a pair of small ponys for Min Ni, and gave two carbon fiber fishing rods. After a brief inquiry, Min Ni actually fished on the grass by the stream, which was a good start to the conversation between the three of them.
The fishing by the stream was only over for another hour, and after all, the fishing chatter did not allow for some more in-depth conversations, the real conversation took place in the vacation apartment room, and it was already dark after the conversation.
As the son of an arms contractor, Gordon certainly has the ability to get an electromagnetic shield, and with this kind of electronic equipment, Gordon and Minny will not worry about the content of their conversation being taken by a third party.
Gordon personally admitted that he had joined the expedition to Tibet, China. It was because the organizer of the team had shown him several mutilated photocopies of the documents.
The organizers planned to organize this scientific expedition team must be strong, but the funding gap is very large, knowing that Gordon has a hobby of traveling and exploring around the world, he came to the door, and the two sides hit it off and initially delineated the cooperation.
Several documents mention that in that mysterious snow-capped mountain area, there were once very rare strange creatures, including plants and animals, and that one of the main goals of the expedition was established. It is an attempt to go deep into the core area of the snow-capped mountains and find these rare animals and plants to make specimens and bring them back for research.
Gordon is worried that his biopharmaceutical industry has not developed a new drug for a long time. After learning that there was such a thing, he felt that the opportunity and opportunity had crept in, and after careful consideration, he agreed to the request of the expedition team and became their nominal financial sponsor, so as to join the expedition team in a proper capacity.
Know that without this, Gordon would have had no chance of getting close to those true explorers and scientists. They are not Isabelle, how can they casually let a "layman" join the scientific expedition team, with such an excuse as a sponsor, everything is easy to say.
Min Ni, who thoroughly understands the reason, already has a plan in her heart. Deciding not to climb Elbert Peak for acclimatization, joining the expedition team to go deep into the Tibetan Plateau for an opportunity to habilitate mountaineering, Minnie then returned to the motel and stayed overnight, and the next morning drove out of the grizzly bear town in the foothills of the canyon with Gordon and Daisy.
Two days later, in the large office of the American Commission for the Investigation of Anomalies in Los Angeles, Minnie, Gordon, and Daisy finally met the other members of the expedition to Tibet, including men and women, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties.
After a long day of deliberation in the conference room of the large office, the date for the expedition team to go to China was finally determined, which was Sunday, U.S. time.
The team took a nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai on Sunday morning, U.S. time, and landed again at Ali Kunsha Airport after a short day of rest at the U.S. Anomaly Investigation Committee's office in China.
Because the US Commission for the Investigation of Anomalies has a certain number of contacts in China (whether civil or official), and the scientific expedition team of more than a dozen people carrying various materials has not been significantly obstructed by the relevant Chinese authorities, the relevant departments have not only readily approved the team's application for the so-called scientific expedition activities in the snow-capped mountain area on the Sino-Indian border, but also gave the green light to all aspects of the itinerary and issued various official certification documents to facilitate the scientific expedition team to act cheaply.
Because the activities of the American Commission for the Investigation of Anomalies are extremely energetic, and in India it has also vigorously obtained special permits to conduct scientific expeditions in the border areas, which means that this scientific expedition team can freely enter and exit the border between China and India, and when necessary, the Chinese border checkpoints and the checkpoints of the Indian border police force will not obstruct the team's actions, and the treatment given is extremely rare and unprecedented.
Just when the agents sent by a certain bureau of the Ministry of State Security of China and the intelligence officers of the Indian Investigation and Analysis Bureau were paying close attention to the next course of action of this special scientific expedition team in China and India, the scientific expedition team disappeared mysteriously in Ali in China, and even the agents of a certain bureau of the Ministry of State Security who were tracking and monitoring disappeared together.
Soon after the heterogeneous investigation committee took over the complicated case of the mysterious disappearance of the expedition team, in fact, the entire expedition team had already rushed to the special border plateau located at the intersection of the southeast side of the Karakoram Mountains and the northeast side of the Himalayas, preparing to climb the snow-capped glacier area in China on the Sino-Indian border.
Because the natural conditions on both sides of the border are very harsh and inaccessible, the mountains are closed by heavy snow for more than half a year every year, whether it is the Indian border police force or the Chinese border guards, it is difficult to carry out uninterrupted patrol and monitoring of the vast snow-capped mountain and glacier area for a long time, and the nomads below the snow-capped line on both sides of the border line will not be full and have nothing to do to climb the snow-capped mountain glacier of nearly 7,000 meters, so the scientific expedition team with various supporting documents was able to successfully approach the glacier glacier tongue line after a few days of journey.
At this time, Gordon, Daisy, Min Ni and the real explorers and mountaineers in the team all thought that the team's actions were open and normal, under the effective supervision of the relevant rights departments, and if they were in distress, they would be assisted by search and rescue teams sent by the Chinese and Indian government departments!
How did Gordon know that there were people with special brain control abilities in the team, not only brainwashing and controlling them to a limited extent, but also carrying out memory shielding operations on the people they met along the way, and changing the means of transportation many times.
Many people were affected by the memory shielding, including many border guards at the border checkpoints that had to be passed, and Tibetan villagers along the way, so that no one knew that the expedition team had arrived in the snow-capped mountain area, which was somewhat different from the planned longitude and latitude.
The secret operation of brain control to block memories began shortly after leaving Kunsha Airport, and a total of thousands of people were affected, including men and women, young and old, all of whom were affected by the abnormal abilities of the brain control people in the team to varying degrees, so that the memories in the brain were missing to varying degrees (in fact, they were blocked by skills and couldn't remember).
As a result, China's Ministry of State Security and India's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis have lost the ability to continue to track and monitor the investigation, because anyone who has a certain impression of the scientific expedition team has a short-term memory blocked out in their minds, and they can't remember when an overseas scientific expedition team passed nearby......
