Chapter 129: Hiding Place (Part II)

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times. In the sinkhole, he was suspicious and asked Jacqueline, but Jacqueline did not answer.

"I'm a guide at the Institute of Geology, helping geologists to explore the island, and sometimes I take biologists to study the migratory birds on the island. If necessary, help them install scientific equipment. Anyway, what others can't do, I'll do it. ”

"What did you do before?" Seeing that Jacqueline's lips were purple from the cold, and she was still shivering, Chu Tianjiang threw the doomsday warrior system that belonged to Alfred over. "It's warm, but it's not breathable, so you'd better take off your dirty clothes."

"Mountaineering."

When Jacqueline undressed, Chu Tianjiang turned his back. Because the Doomsday Warrior system is worn in one piece, and Jacqueline's clothes and pants are already soaked, and her coat and pants are covered with mud, she has to strip off all her clothes, maybe even her underwear and underwear.

"Didn't you stare at it before, why don't you dare to look at it now?"

"You're a boarding athlete?"

"Yes, but that was years ago. Okay, you can turn around. Jacqueline was already dressed, and the trousers she threw next to her showed that she had indeed taken them off thoroughly. My father was a mountaineer and had climbed all the peaks above 8,000 meters in height, as well as the highest peaks on all continents. Influenced by my father, Jacob and I have loved mountaineering since we were young, and we climbed Mount Elbrus at the age of fourteen. ”

"Who is Jacob?" Chutianjiang knows that Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in Europe.

"My brother is two years older than me."

"He's also a mountaineer?"

Jacquelyn shook her head and said, "Eight years ago, when I was sixteen, my father took us to climb Mount Delano in Utah, USA. One of the companions did not fix the rock buckle according to the regulations, and happened to encounter a landslide, and as a result, three people fell. I was at the bottom, and Jacob was above me. In order to save me and Jacob, my father cut the safety rope. Since then, Jacob has stopped climbing. ”

"And you persevered?"

Jacqueline smiled and said, "I'm going to fulfill my father's wish and conquer K2." ”

"Didn't he climb all the peaks above eight thousand meters in height?" K2 is the main peak of the Karakoram Mountains and the second highest peak in the world after Mount Everest, with an altitude of 8,611 meters. As early as eight years ago, the second year after joining the Tiger Brigade, Chu Tianjiang followed his teammates to the summit from the Chinese side.

"The only exception is K2. On that occasion, the mountaineering team led by him did make it to K2, but he stayed in Camp 3 due to emphysema, only 500 meters from the peak. Jacqueline sighed and said, "Two years later, I went to Pakistan and started a career in mountaineering. ”

"Occupation?"

"Acting as a guide for other climbers and assisting them in their ascent to the top." Jacqueline glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Rich people have a desire to conquer, and some people take mountain climbing as pleasure, and climbing to the top can make them feel extremely satisfied, so they are willing to spend a lot of money for this. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "This is a profession with a good income, and it is also your hobby, why don't you continue to do it?" ”

"An accident three years ago."

"What accident?"

"At that time, I was also a well-known person in the mountaineering world, and I climbed K2 four times in three years, three of which served as a guide." Jacquelyn paused for a moment, then added, "A rich American man approached me and asked me to help him reach the summit, promising to pay $50,000 first, and then give me another $100,000 after the summit. ”

"You promised?"

Jacqueline nodded and said, "I have fulfilled my father's last wish and passed the entrance exam to the University of Amiens, and I need this money to complete my studies. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed. In this world, anyone needs money. "And then?"

"That American tycoon is also well-known in the mountaineering world, and he has failed to reach the summit three times. Although the weather forecast had already suggested a few days of drastic changes in the weather before departure, it was not me who was in charge, and he doubled the pay, immediately remitting $100,000 to my account, promising to transfer another $150,000 to my account as soon as I reached the summit. ”

"So you said yes and decided to take the risk?"

Jacqueline nodded and said, "It's really risky, there are countless mountaineers who have died in K2, and most of them are related to the weather. ”

"I know it."

"You've climbed K2 too?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "That was eight years ago, I boarded it from the north, it took three days before and after, and I almost died on it. ”

Jacqueline looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little surprise, probably not expecting Chu Tianjiang to be a master of mountaineering.

It is more difficult to climb the K2 peak from the north slope. Even the best mountaineers will choose the south slope and not venture to the north slope.

"What's next?"

"That night, the weather changed. I have repeatedly suggested going down the mountain immediately to avoid accidents, but we have reached camp three, only five hundred meters from the summit. ”

"Got on board?"

Jacqueline nodded and said, "Because of the heavy snowfall, we had an accident on the way down the mountain and fell into an ice covered by heavy snow. ”

"It's an absolute miracle that you survived."

"It's a miracle, but it's not me, it's Jacob."

"Your brother?"

Jacqueline sighed and said, "After no longer hiking, Jacob became a freelance photographer, going to places where other photographers couldn't, such as high altitudes, to photograph landscapes and wildlife, and then buying the photos to magazines like National Geographic." At that time, he was photographing snow leopards near K2, and he also came to the camp to find me, asking me to return to China early to finish my university studies. ”

"But you don't have tuition."

"He promised to help me pay for my tuition."

"But you didn't accept it."

Jacqueline nodded and said, "I had a fight with him the night before I left. When he learned that we were in distress on the mountain, he immediately organized a six-member rescue team, and the family of the rich man promised to give each rescuer half $500,000 regardless of whether the rescue was successful or not. ”

"He found you?"

"You have boarded up, and we all have first-aid equipment, but under the circumstances at that time, even if it was an energy agent, it was only enough to last twenty-four hours. If help doesn't arrive in time, we will soon die of emphysema caused by our declining physical strength in that cold and oxygen-deprived environment. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Jacqueline meant.

"It only took Jacob twenty-two hours to find us and save me, while the other two team members and the rich man were dead."

"This ......"

"Three people from the rescue team lost their lives trying to save us. I stayed in the hospital for three months and then returned to France to complete my university studies. ”

"And then here?"

Jacqueline nodded, then sighed again.

"You should be able to find a good job, and with your ...... There should be a lot of people who pursue you, why did you come to this place? ”

"Maybe you won't believe it, I'm here just to avoid Jacob."

"For what?"

"I said it, and even if I did, you wouldn't believe it."

"Feeling guilty, feeling sorry for him, or ......"

"Don't talk about that, okay?"

Seeing that Jacqueline didn't want to say more, Chu Tianjiang didn't ask much.

At this time, Halevi returned to the cave with a few bundles of dry firewood, and also hunted a few fat marmots by the way. There are no large animals on the island of Amsterdam, the largest numbers are marmots and albatrosses. The breath of seabirds is on the cliff face close to the sea, so there are only marmots in the heart of the island.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, is there anything unusual out there?" Chu Tianjiang walked over and lifted a bundle of dry firewood and set up the pyre.

"The Yankees all retreated to the sinkhole, and did not search for us. Apparently, they don't plan to look for us. "Halevy peeled the marmot with his hands and then cleaned the entrails." If we don't get into trouble, we won't be in danger for a while, but I don't think it's the best way to do it. ”

"Even if we hide here, the Yankees will find us sooner or later."

"They're not going to stay here forever, are they?" Jacquelyn said, "Their target is the Y object, and if they can take the Y object with them, there is no reason to stay." ”

"The point is, how do you take the Y object?"

Jacqueline was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

"The Y celestial body is a pure energy body, and there is an invisible shield outside, and it is even more difficult to move the Y celestial body than to ascend to the sky." Chu Tianjiang lit a bonfire and threw a large wooden stick to Jacqueline to dry her soaked clothes and pants. "Looking at the Yankees' battle, they must intend to stay here for a long time. Maybe the Yankees will be able to find a way to move the Y object, or maybe they will take the Y object away, but it will take time. As long as we are alive and can move freely, the Yankees will not let us go and will definitely try their best to deal with us. ”

"So what to do?" Jacqueline wasn't flustered.

"I've told you about it."

Jacqueline was stunned for a moment and said, "You're going to kill them all?" ”

Halevi was also taken aback, and looked at Chu Tianjiang in disbelief.

"Not only do you have to kill them all, but you have to do it right away." Chu Tianjiang caught the marmot handed by Halevy, then strung a wooden stick and set it up on the bonfire. "We have destroyed the airport, and the Yankees will not be able to transport people and supplies to the island in a short period of time with large transport planes. It's just that the Yankees came so quickly, which shows that they have been prepared for a long time, and maybe there is a US aircraft carrier not far away, or other offshore platforms that can be used for tilt-rotor planes to take off and land. After discovering that we were still alive and capable of making models, the Yankees would not use the airfield rashly, but would set up camps and defensive lines near the sinkhole, and use tilt-rotary-wing planes to send people and supplies directly there. If the Yankees' base camp is close enough to Amsterdam Island, reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

"We're struggling now, if the Yankees increase their troops, ......"

"In other words, we have to do it in these few hours, and we must not wait for the Yankees to lay out the camp and then go to their trouble."

Halevi nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.

"We have an advantage over the Yankees." Chu Tianjiang glanced at Jacqueline and said, "We have a guide who knows this island very well. ”

"But there are only two of you, and the enemy ......"

"It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow." Chu Tianjiang smiled coldly and said, "We have to set up an ambush circle first, then lure the Yankees out, and then kill them one by one." If all goes well, we'll be able to seize the initiative before Yankee reinforcements arrive. ”

"And then?"

"And then?"

"We can't get in touch with the rear, and even if we can take out the enemy on the island, we'll be overwhelmed by Yankee reinforcements." Halevy sighed and said, "As long as we can't leave this island and get in touch with the rear, sooner or later we will be finished." ”

"It's not something that needs to be considered right now."

Halevi understood what Chu Tianjiang meant, so he didn't say anything more.

"Either way, we can't wait here to die, and we can't let the Yankees run wild. As long as we make enough trouble, the Yankees will keep adding troops. The longer the time drags on, and the bigger the battle becomes, the more likely it is that the outside world will know what is happening on Daodao Island. As long as we prove that we can pose a threat to all enemies on the island, the Yankees will not rush to send scientists over, and we will not be able to study the Y object. ”

"This ......" Halevy's brows jumped a few times, and Chu Tianjiang's last sentence was very crucial.

"Also, we can also use Yankee communication equipment to communicate with the rear." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If there is no problem, fill your belly first." ”

The five fat marmots were quickly roasted and eliminated by the trio.

Although it doesn't taste good, it's good to be able to eat cooked food, it's much better than eating it alive, and cooked food is easier to digest and can restore your strength faster.
