Chapter 20: A Glimpse of the Storm (I)

Wang Xingguo was a little surprised that no one had mentioned the symptoms of dizziness so far, which made Wang Xingguo a little uncertain about the next move - whether to extend the activity time to find more clues, or to find the remains of the expedition and immediately evacuate while the visibility was high?

When Wang Xingguo looked at the weather again, he found that there were already a few flocculent stratus clouds in the sky, which usually still indicates good weather, but the climate here is impermanent, Wang Xingguo doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, and they should spend the night here.

A good expedition leader not only considers the current situation, he must always understand the purpose of the action, and make judgments and choices quickly when these purposes are contradictory, and can never respond with the mentality of taking one step at a time, now the tracked corpse does not know where to end, this is the ultimate goal of their trip, the weather seems to be helping him, if you stay one more night, you may be able to gain more, but who can guarantee that there will be a harvest?

Exploration is always oscillating between this possibility and impossibility, maybe no decision can be 100% accurate, so adjustment is also very important, but in the same way, you can't guarantee that you will be able to achieve the goal after adjustment, what awaits you in front of you may be surprise, or maybe it is frightening, it is this uncertainty combined with the adventure genes in human beings, which will make exploration activities so fascinating, and the concentration in exploration activities is very overwhelming, But the sense of accomplishment after completing an expedition is not like anything else.

"Does anyone get dizzy?" Wang Xingguo felt that he should still ask.

"Nope." Everyone replied in unison.

"Mr. Min, do you have dizziness?" Wang Xingguo was not at ease and asked again.

"Uh...... No...... But a little palpitation...... When you see these things. Mr. Min hesitated, but said it honestly.

"Psychological reasons, just get over it." After Wang Xingguo got everyone's reply, he felt a little bottom in his heart, and he could extend the activity time appropriately, but as for why everyone was not dizzy, Wang Xingguo couldn't accurately judge, maybe it was because of the weather.

Mr. Min is indeed psychological, the total destruction of the expedition 20 years ago made him silent for many years, and he began to find another way, trying to find the secret of Loulan from the resale of antiques, but in the end he still could not get around the way to fulfill his wish by means of exploration.

He gave himself the courage countless times, and also warned himself countless times that even when facing death, he should face it calmly, at least when he met the old man under the spring, he would be at ease, but when he really touched the breath of death, Mr. Min felt that inexplicable fear still dominated.

Mr. Min took a deep breath, lowered his head and rubbed the shiny badge, and secretly cheered himself up in his heart again.

"Adjust the course of action and prioritize the exploration of the expedition's remains." Wang Xingguo said, without waiting for everyone to answer, he spread his hand and pointed to a position in front of him, "Horizontal team, start from there, slowly search for small bushes, pay attention to your feet, and report immediately if there is a situation." ”

After saying something, most of the people didn't react, and they were stunned, but Chen Badai was the most familiar with it, and he muttered: "The style of the army is ......" and quickly assisted Wang Xingguo in setting up the "battle formation". That's when everyone reacted.

The horizontal team is the most effective search formation, and Wang Xingguo turned the team into this way in order to collect more useful information in the shortest possible time.

But everyone obviously has not been trained in this area, when in the column, you can watch the people in front of you follow the action, the horizontal team should not only pay attention to the situation of teammates, keep a distance but also pay attention to the ground and distance, and at the same time have to do so much work, this can be busy everyone, and it will not take long for the team to become zigzag, Mr. Min felt that a certain piece of shroud seemed familiar, stopped but was not sure, and looked at it silently for a long time, Sherpa raised his camera from time to time to click here, click there, Xia Ruobing was anxious to find the expedition team, and ran too fast to ignore the search, Wang Xingguo had to coordinate the team's actions at any time, and constantly gave orders to keep the team in the best condition.

There was no wind at all in the basin, and the mental tension and rapid movement during the tracking made everyone sweat, and at this time the speed slowed down, but there was no wind, and the sweat could not flow out and stuffy in the body, which made people even more uncomfortable. Sherpa stopped, put down his backpack, took out a water bottle from the side pocket of his backpack and drank a few sips of water, thought about it, took off his coat as well, stuffed it into his backpack, and when he was done, he found that the team had walked almost a hundred meters away.

Sherpa is on the far right of the line, and Wang Xingguo is on the far left. At this time, no one noticed that Sherpa was lagging behind, he took his backpack and strode to catch up with the team, this kind of thing that is slightly behind often happens in outdoor activities, after all, everyone is not a well-trained soldier, and no one is aware of the risks of this kind of behavior.

A clump of tall grass blocked Sherpa sight, and when Sherpa turned around, he was blocked by a clump of tall grass again, but Sherpa did not lose his sense of direction, and when he turned out of the grass, he still didn't see the team, which made him a little strange, but fortunately, the visibility was very good, he raised his eyes to look around and wanted to find a positioning landmark for himself, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue object moving in the distance on the right, and took a look! Isn't this the corpse I'm looking for?

It was about 200 meters away, but Sherpa was absolutely not mistaken, it was the corpse, which could already be clearly seen by this time, the shroud was dragging behind him, hanging behind his right leg like a molting snake, and he was climbing on a boulder, reaching for the stone in front of him with difficulty, and his left leg seemed to be stepping on a stone. There was a low patch of grass, and the boulder almost blocked the grass.

"Wang Xingguo! Ruo Bing! Where are you?! Come here! Fast! Sherpa shouted, sound more reliable than sight.

"Sherpa, am I here?" Sherpa heard Xia Ruobing's voice, this voice came from directly in front of him, Xia Ruobing was originally separated from him by Mr. Min, but at this time he was directly in front of him, it seems that he was a little blindfolded just now.

Hearing the Sherpa voice, Mr. Min realized that he hadn't communicated with the Sherpa on his right for a long time, but this so-called long time was only five or six minutes, which is nothing in outdoor sports.

"Sherpa why are you falling behind?" Wang Xingguo shouted, this is not a trivial matter in his eyes, fortunately, the weather is good today, if it encounters a thick fog, it may kill Sherpas!

"I'm fine, everyone look to the right, right...... About 200 meters away from me, did you see a white stone? The big one, to the left of it...... I saw the body, he was climbing on the rocks! After Sherpa confirmed everyone's location, he hurried to report the important situation.

"Where?" Xia Ruobing's voice came, Xia Ruobing was in a tall grass at this time, and he couldn't see the situation outside.

"Has anyone seen it? He had already climbed the steepest place, dragging the blue shroud on his right leg...... "Sherpa was a little anxious, but he didn't know that Xia Ruobing's position was not good, his vision was blocked, and when he saw that the person had crawled over, his speed began to increase, and he shouted loudly.

"I saw it, I saw it...... It's really moving! Mr. Min couldn't see it, after hearing the Sherpa voice, he saw a big stone next to him in a hurry, climbed the stone, and sure enough, he saw that person was climbing up the slope, and he didn't care if the camera could be used, so he raised it and aimed it there, pulled the lens closer, and pressed the shooting button continuously, but the camera didn't react at all, when he reacted, he was so anxious that he shouted: "Sherpa, my camera can't shoot, you take a quick shot, a quick shot......"

Sherpa only then remembered that he had a camera, and it was the only camera in the team that could be used, but his camera lens was not a telephoto, even if it was pulled closer, the imaging was still very small at this time, but at this time, he didn't care so much, and Sherpa took several photos in a row.

Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai couldn't see either, and there was no high place next to them, Wang Xingguo thought for a while and shouted: "Mr. Min keeps his position, uses the lens to zoom in and observe, bare Dan'er, Xia Ruobing, keep in formation, and move closer to the Sherpa direction." ”
