In any written record of human beings, there is no record of human activity within a radius of more than a dozen kilometers around Chogori Peak. Even the Taoist priests who had always wanted to become immortals in ancient China chose the more pragmatic Kunlun Mountain, which is definitely a forbidden area for human activities.

However, when I looked at the mountain road from afar, it seemed to have been dug by hand, and I was full of curiosity, so I asked this guide.

The guide didn't speak, just walked with his head down, and I didn't even know what his name was. The wind at a height of more than 60 meters per second was blocked by the mountains, and it suddenly cut down, and the force was extraordinary, and people struggled to move forward, let alone have no mood to speak.

Facing the bitter cold wind all the way, stepping on the broken stones, walking forward, I noticed the shape of the broken stones, but they were not normal collapsed and weathered pebbles, but angular broken stones, which collapsed at a high place and paved a slope. The further you go to the bottom, the bigger the stone becomes.

This is very unusual, although I have not studied geology, but I still know a little about the geological structure of the entire Karakoram Mountains, often a boulder, is a high mountain, even if it collapses, the whole stone is peeled off, there is no reason to fall like this.

This further confirms my suspicion that there have been not only human activities here, but also large-scale excavations.

Turning the valley, the wind cut across it is much lighter. I breathed a sigh of relief, although the combat uniform on my body was windproof, but the warmth was average, and my arms were numb from the blow.

When I went to see everyone's faces, they were all like me, and a black team member seemed to have never experienced such an environment, cursing and rubbing his face.

I leaned over to the guide and said, "Has anyone been active here?" ”

The guide just glanced at me and didn't speak, so he said to Zhang Wentian: "There are still more than ten kilometers from the entrance, we still have to hurry up a little, we can't spend the night here, otherwise we will die!" ”

Zhang Wentian nodded, took out a bottle of strong liquor from his backpack, and passed it on. Everyone poured a few sips, plus the glucose they drank before entering the mountain, and gradually became a little warmer.

So the team continued to set off.

The snow line was a few hundred meters above our heads, and we didn't worry about the danger of marching in the snow, but it was a rocky mess, and it was very difficult to walk, and it took another four hours to reach the guide's so-called entrance.

I was still wondering, seeing that the mountain road is right in front of me, how can there be a distance of more than ten kilometers? But in fact, it's not the same thing. There are a few mountain beams that lie in front of you, which cannot be crossed by any means, and can only be detoured far, far away.

When I got to the bottom of this mountain road, I found that it was not as narrow as I thought, it was two or three meters wide. Walking up, I found that it was relatively flat, I don't know when it was built, it was relatively smooth, and then I looked at the mountain wall on the right, it turned out to be a cannon hole!

This thing is probably not left over from ancient times. It is definitely a project that only existed after the invention of the first generation to blow up the mountain and take the stone.

As a special agent, we have all learned to blast, and the King of Spades also looked up at it, only to see that it was all snow cliffs and cliffs, and there was no condition to shoot guns here anyway.

Haitao K asked in surprise: "This winding mountain road, are they all blown up?" ”

The guide nodded in acknowledgement.

"This is the snow line, and here you dare to bomb the mountain? If there was an avalanche up there, wouldn't it bury everyone alive? ”

I thought the same thing, looking at these countless blast holes, every step forward, it would take a dozen, if it really caused an avalanche, not to mention the workers, the construction period was also astronomical.

The guide looked at the top of the mountain, but he sighed a long sigh, and seemed to be very emotional, and said: "Before the construction of this winding mountain road, there were more than 100 80-millimeter field mountain guns bombarding the snow line above, and the snow on it fell and melted before the construction was carried out. ”

In my mind's eye, I saw the shelling of the snow, the shells exploding, the snow pouring down, filling the valley, and I thought of what a spectacular scene it must have been.

"What kind of person is doing such a big move here, if this is the construction of a mausoleum in ancient times, it makes sense, but the field mountain artillery is used, obviously in modern times, what is the reason for making a big move here in Qiaogori Peak?" I asked.

The guide sneered and said, "You don't know this, we look barren here, but in the eyes of some people, it looks very rare." ”

With that, we climbed up the winding mountain road.

The climate of the plateau is really unpredictable, I looked at the altimeter on my wrist, it is already more than 5,000 meters above sea level, at this altitude, the oxygen is very thin, if it is not for the fact that our bodies have experienced almost abusive torture, it is estimated that we will have to stop cooking. Clouds and mist were rolling under his feet, and the wind blew the clouds everywhere, like a group of frightened Mianyang.

Standing here, although I felt cold, my skin was aching faintly, and when I looked down, I found that my skin had been sunburned.

At this altitude, people have difficulty breathing, and they are even more reluctant to speak, so they walk with their heads bored.

My thoughts along the way, who built this place? What to build it for? Isn't there anyone who has noticed such a huge project? Why was Zhang Wentian able to find this place?

A series of questions that gave me a splitting headache. In the end, almost all of them lost the consciousness of stepping, and just followed the way. What makes people feel strange is that there is no wind here, and the whole world is as pure as a sapphire.

After another two hours of walking, the road seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, and I looked down at the altimeter, which was already 6,500 meters above sea level. This is already the limit of an ordinary person. If it goes further, there may be severe altitude sickness, hypothermia, and even direct cardiovascular paralysis, and there is a risk of sudden death.

It's a wonderful feeling, you feel like the second highest mountain in the world is so close to you that you can cross it in one step, but in fact, it's thousands of meters.

I really don't want to reminisce about that time, I feel like every breath I take, it becomes clear, the temperature around me is already terrifyingly cold, and below my ankles, I don't feel it at all.

Finally, the group finally came to the end of this road.

A cave, to be exact. A cave that has been artificially dug on the basis of a natural cave. Because there was an iron door at the entrance of the cave, which was frozen with the surrounding door frame.
