But the sky does not seem to be beautiful, the downpour comes unexpectedly, the road is muddy and slippery, and it becomes very difficult to climb the Taihang Mountain to the east. However, most of the teams were enthusiastic, braved the wind and rain, and advanced towards the top of Taihang Mountain despite all difficulties.

Only the ninth team led by Feiyan hid in the cave to avoid the rain under Feiyan's orders. For this reason, the ninth team almost had infighting, and there was a fierce quarrel between the faction that supported Feiyan and the faction that insisted on moving forward, but fortunately Feiyan handled it properly and there was no group fight.

Heavy rain caused flash floods, and the water of the Dasha River swelled sharply, and the water was turbulent, making it impossible to swim across at all. The Dasha River flows in the northwest and southeast directions, with a source of hundreds of miles, and is the only way to return to the Phoenix Valley.

When the teams that had gone through a lot of hardships and crossed the Taihang Mountain arrived at the Dasha River, they were dumbfounded when they looked at the turbulent river. Along the way, many people had developed high fevers due to heavy rain, and they rushed forward desperately just to be able to return to the camp as soon as possible, and now there is a rushing river in the way, which almost makes everyone a little desperate.

Some people have proposed to go around to the upper reaches of the Dasha River, where the water is shallow enough to swim across. However, as soon as the plan was proposed, it was immediately opposed by many people. To go around to the upper reaches of the Dasha River, you must go to the northwest, and the base camp is in the east, isn't it the opposite of the south, not to mention that the Dasha River is hundreds of miles long, and there are all lofty mountains and mountains along the way, and you really don't know when you can go around it back.

Someone else proposed to cut down trees to make rafts, and this proposal was approved by most people. Immediately someone took action, cut down the trees, and made straw ropes out of weeds, tying the trunks of the thick bowls together, and soon they were tied into several rafts. But as soon as they tried the water, the raft was overturned by the huge waves in an instant, and the people on the raft also fell into the river, but fortunately they were all tied with ropes around their waists, and the people on the shore pulled them back with all their hands and feet.

At this time, everyone was already at a loss, and what was even more difficult was that hundreds of people gathered on the riverbank, and the supply of food was almost unsustainable, not to mention wild beasts, even some wild vegetables and fruits could no longer be found, and many teams could only eat some bitter leaves and bark, and if they waited, these people could only starve to death.

Pan Feng convened a meeting of nine captains to discuss countermeasures, and everyone discussed and discussed, but after all, they did not come up with a good solution. At this time, Feiyan led the ninth team to Dasha River, and after two days of rest, the people of the ninth team were in good spirits.

After hearing the news that everyone had failed to cross the river on a raft, Feiyan went to the river to take a closer look, and proposed a proposal to Pan Feng: "Find a few people who are familiar with water, tie a safety rope around their waists, and forcibly cross the river, once it is unfavorable, they can be rescued quickly." ”

Pan Feng shook his head and said: "This method has been tried, the water flow is too fast, and no matter how good the water is, people can only cross halfway." ”

Feiyan pointed to a slightly narrower section of the river in front of him and said: "As long as you can cross half of the river, there is a way, the narrowest part of this river is only more than ten zhang, there are a few big trees on the opposite bank of the river, as long as you cross to the middle of the river, use the flying claw to hook the trunk, and you don't have to worry about not being able to cross." As long as one person can cross the river, tie the ropes to the big trees on both sides, and everyone can cross the river by climbing the ropes in turn. ”

Pan Feng said excitedly: "Good idea, it's just a few attempts, those who are familiar with the water are already tired, I'm afraid they won't be able to recover for a while." ”

"Zhang Jiao, Chen Li, the two of you are ready to go into the water." Feiyan turned around and called out Zhang Jiao and Chen Li, who had the best water ability in the team.

"No!" Zhang Jiao and Chen Li stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

Someone tied a rope around their waists, and Zhang Jiao rushed into the river first, struggling to swim to the opposite bank. The water of the Dasha River roared, rolling up the huge waves, although Zhang Jiao was very watery, but it was difficult to perform in this big wave. Gradually, he was approaching the center of the river, the water was more turbulent, and the waves were carrying him downstream, and Feiyan saw that he was about to lose the last chance to hook the big tree on the opposite bank, and shouted: "Zhang Jiao, shoot!" ”

Zhang Jiao struggled to jump up, and the flying claws in his hand drew an arc, but unfortunately it fell only a foot away from the big tree. With one missed blow, the opportunity was lost, and the crowd pulled him ashore with all their hands and feet.

"The current is too fast, if we can get a little closer, we will have a chance." Zhang Jiao spit out a mouthful of mud and sand, panting.

Feiyan said to Chen Li: "It's up to you." ”

Chen Li's re-choice of the place to go into the water, moved dozens of zhang more upstream than Zhang Jiao's water point, stayed in the water for more time, and had a better chance of getting closer to the center of the river, but the risk is also self-evident. Chen Li naturally understood this truth, so as soon as he entered the water, he did not swim desperately to the opposite bank, but adopted the method of drifting with the current, drifting downstream with the current, slowly approaching the center of the river, and at the moment when he passed by the big tree on the bank, he instantly broke out, shouted, jumped up, and the flying claws in his hand shot out like meteors, firmly grasping the trunk of the big tree. Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the shore.

Chen Li climbed to the opposite bank and tied one end of the rope firmly to the trunk of the tree, and there were also people here who tied the other end of the rope. Everyone lined up, crossed into the water one by one, and clung to the ropes, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they could not shake it, and within two hours, all the personnel crossed the Dasha River.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after crossing this ghost gate, everyone's body and mind were a lot more relaxed. But what they don't know is that their nightmare has just begun.

The team climbed to the high ground on the east bank of the river, and they were stunned by what they saw. The primeval forest that used to pass through has disappeared, and everywhere is scorched by the fire, and there are blackened dry branches and dead leaves everywhere, and the grass ash on the ground is already a thick layer, and some of the scorched trunks are still emitting green smoke, which seems to tell people about yesterday's fire, maybe the heavy rain of the past few days has extinguished the fire, otherwise I am afraid that there is still a sea of fire here. No one could comprehend the scene that was happening in front of them, but everyone's hearts were strangely heavy. It was at least a hundred and fifty miles away from the base camp, and in this case, the forest could no longer provide them with any food, and perhaps only death awaited them.

But staying here, again, there is no chance of survival. Therefore, all the teams did not breathe for a moment, and each chose a path forward, and marched towards the east without hesitation.

Hunger passed swiftly through the crowd like a plague, the stomach twitched, the brain seemed to be paralyzed, and the lead-filled legs walked mechanically. People are frantically looking for food, the animals may have fled when the fire came, all the wild fruits and vegetables were destroyed, even finding a piece of bark became a luxury, people can only chew on the roots of the grass, the bitter juice has no nutrients, but it stimulates the burning appetite, and the hunger is even stronger.

Catching a mouse was almost lucky, no longer roasting it over fire, no longer boiling it with water, but stuffing it into his throat with a bite alive, and eating it with a mouthful full of blood. The rats also seemed to be stupefied by these crazy people, and squeaked when they got into their throats.

All the people were almost unclothed, and their bodies were covered with countless scars, bruises, bruises, scratches, bruises, and blood, many of them were lame, limping and persistently moving forward with a wooden root, and some of them walked and walked, and then fell to the ground unconscious, and their companions immediately helped them up, and even those who were unconscious, their companions carried them forward on improvised stretchers.

The end is not far ahead, unobstructed by tall trees, and the camp in the distance is faintly visible, but for these exhausted people, the end seems far away, visible but intangible.

The rescue team stood by their side, the food behind them emitting a mouth-watering, tantalizing aroma. But no one stepped forward, more licking their chapped lips and swallowing their saliva, but their mouths were long gone, and they stared firmly ahead, as if they had not seen the rescue team or their food at all. At this point, the only thing that makes people persist is the belief of victory, and no one is willing to give up lightly.

Liu Ze stood at the gate of the camp, staring westward, his expression seemed to be stiff, and he didn't move his figure for a long time. The solemn atmosphere of the scene infected everyone present, and even Zhang Fei, who was usually used to hip-hop, quietly stayed there without squeaking.

Finally, a group of men appeared on the horizon, their ragged clothes and staggering steps, supporting each other all the way to the end of the road, the gate of the base camp.

The leader stood in front of Liu Ze, and said hoarsely but unusually calmly: "Lord Qiqi, Feiyan, the captain of the ninth team, reports to you, the whole team should be fifty people, but there are fifty people, and the registration is complete!" ”

Liu Ze looked at the almost delicate and delicate girl in front of her, her skin was half-naked, and her clothes were already strands that could not hide her delicate curves, it was really hard to imagine how she completed this "journey to hell". Liu Ze took off his red cloak, draped it on her shoulders, and said solemnly: "Ninth team, return to the camp!" ”

Feiyan bowed her hand and said, "No! "When the team returned to the camp, naturally some people had already prepared hot dishes and hot meals, and the hungry team members ate it devouring.

Half a day later, the third team led by Pan Feng and Chen Biao returned to the camp, followed by the first team led by Zhang Long, and it was not until the evening of the third day that all ten teams returned to the camp.

The "Journey to Hell" begins on May 15 and ends on the third day of June, on the 17th day of June.
