At six o'clock in the morning, it was still the middle of the night for the Western Regions.

Because it's two hours later than standard time, it's winter, and it's not dawn until 10 o'clock, and if it's cloudy, the east coast is ready for lunch, so you get up for breakfast.

Zhou Zhen stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright night sky, and couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

At an altitude of more than 4,000 meters above sea level, the thin air makes the starry sky here clearer and brighter than in other regions.

Everyone who meets for the first time will be deeply fascinated, and Zhou Zhen is no exception.

But around him, they have long been accustomed to such beautiful scenery.

One by one, they are preparing for departure, and no one will look up.

It only took half a day for Zhou Zhen to conquer all of them, and no one thought Zhou Zhen's actions were ridiculous, but they were proud of the beautiful scenery of their hometown that attracted Zhou Zhen.

"Gayu, let's go."

Zhou Zhen lowered his somewhat stiff neck and walked towards the newest but eight-year-old Jeep.

Everyone else also got into the car with guns on their backs, and in each car, they formed a combat squad according to their individual strengths.

Zhou Zhen sat in the passenger seat of the first car,

Yang Jin, who was standing by the wall with a worried look on his face, smiled and nodded slightly.

"Let's go!"

As soon as the first car moved, the three cars behind rushed out of the mountain patrol station one by one in the night and drove towards the plateau.

At dawn, they arrived at the entrance on the east side of Hoh Xili, in the original play, they set up a card here and delayed for a day, this time, Zhou Zhen carried out the division of labor.

Their car will continue to move forward, Ritai stayed, with three cars, and Liu Dong drove with Zhou Zhen and two other team members to the Frozen Spring Protection Station first.

Zhou Zhen's ability reassured Ritai that such an arrangement would not delay the matter, and he did not question it.

However, he asked the truck to follow Zhou Zhen to deliver supplies to Ngawang at the Frozen Springs Protection Station.

The valley is full of rivers and frozen soil, and is flanked by majestic snow-capped mountains, and at the end of the valley, a lonely house stands at the entrance to the mountain.

It's not the only entrance, it's on the plateau, you can get in and out of it, but the location here is important.

When watching the movie, Zhou Zhen admired Ngawang very much, he was alone, and he stayed in this uninhabited valley for three years.

He is here, and poachers will not dare to pass through it.

And he has no establishment, no women, and only a meager income of two hundred yuan a month.

Risking his life and not having any enjoyment, such a person, you can call him stupid, call him stupid, but you will never fail to admire him.

There are many such ordinary people, and they are also ordinary people who form the backbone of a country and a nation.

Looking at the house of the protection station from afar, Zhou Zhen was also asking himself, if he could stay in such a place for three years, let alone three years, he couldn't stand it for three months.

There is no one, no electricity, let alone a mobile phone, no Internet.

Don't say three years, three months he feels like he's going crazy.

Before the car arrived, a figure could be seen waving on the hill.

As soon as the car stopped, Ngawang rushed over with an excited smile on his face.

Liu Dong said: "Awang, this is a reporter from Beijing. ”

Ngawang was a little shy and glanced at the camera around Zhou Zhen's neck. "Hello."

Zhou Zhen smiled: "I'll take a recent photo of you, I washed it out in the county seat when I turned around, and I left it for you." ”

He nodded excitedly and touched his head. "I'm not good-looking."

Liu Dong quipped: "You will become a big star in the world." ”

Seeing that Ah Wang was a little uncomfortable, Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "You just walk back and forth with a gun, don't look at me, I won't tell you when I shoot." ”

He glanced around, pointed to the snow-capped mountain and asked, "Can you take pictures of the mountain too?" ”

Zhou Zhen nodded. "Yes!"

He walked over there with a gun, trying to find a suitable angle, looking at his young and somewhat rickety figure, Zhou Zhen captured it.

Later, Zhou Zhen took a few more pictures of him, and Sanji shouted, "Ngawang, we brought your rations for this month." You go cook. ”

Ngawang took the photo, was very happy, and immediately went to cook.

In the middle of the simple wooden house was a large stove, and there was a pile of coal outside the house.

Ngawang kept talking to someone, and his mouth was not idle.

It can be seen that he is really happy, and when Zhou Zhen and the others leave, he will face the loneliness of not seeing anyone for a month and not saying a word.

Soon after eating, it was dark, and on the ground of the house, a quilt was laid, and Zhou Zhen was given preferential treatment, sleeping by the stove, one futon per person, and they were all two people and one futon.

There is no light, sleeping in the bed, a group of people talk about women, cattle and sheep, no one talks about ideals.

Zhou Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any ideals?" ”

After a moment of silence in the house, Ngawang said, "My ideal is to find a mother-in-law and have a few babies." ”

Liu Dongchang sighed and said, "I want to save some money and marry Leng Xue home." ”

Sanji and the others all talked about their ideals, but they were all women and children, cattle and sheep.

Maybe for them, life is to live, and death is a cycle.

The next morning, after breakfast, they were on their way again.

Their target is Zhuo Nai Lake, where more than 400 Tibetan antelopes were killed in the movie.

In the movie, when they arrived, the poachers had already left, and now they arrived a day early, and I don't know if they can catch up with the group of skinning migrant workers in advance.

As it turned out, there was no catch-up.

Zhou Zhen sorted out the timeline tracked in the movie. Set up a card on the first day of departure; The next day there is no frozen spring; On the third day, a dead Tibetan antelope was found at Zhuo Nai Lake.

On the fifth day of chasing to the Yak Valley, not only did he not catch up with anyone, but he was wounded by a gunman.

On the seventh day, the Chumar River chased down the skinning laborers, but the poaching boss and gunman fled.

Nine migrant workers dragged down the pursuit team, and early on the morning of the ninth day, Ma Zhanlin and his son fled.

Dawa was chasing Ma Zhanlin and his son because of lack of oxygen caused pulmonary edema, and Liu Dong sent Dawa back to treat and replenish supplies.

On the eleventh day, Lausanne's car did not have an oil cylinder, and they waited for Liu Dong on the spot.

On the twelfth day, Liu Dong returned to the county seat, delivered the tile for treatment, sold skins for money, and borrowed money from Leng Xue.

On the fifteenth day, Liu Dong was swallowed by quicksand.

On the seventeenth day, he finally caught up with the poachers at the Altun Pass, and Ritai was killed by the other side.

Before entering this world, Zhou Zhen was still very conceited, thinking that if he mastered the timeline, he would be able to block the poacher's route.

But now that he has entered the plateau, he realizes that he is really naïve.

This is not the mainland, there is a village in three or five miles, and roads extend everywhere.

The area they entered was more than 10,000 square kilometers in the narrow sense and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the broad sense, which was larger than many provinces in the interior.

And there are no roads here, there are snow-capped mountains, rivers, glaciers, frozen soil, quicksand, grasslands everywhere.

Quicksand is supposed to be in the area north of the Altun Mountains, but there is no quicksand in Hoh Xil.

But in this movie world, like the plot, there is also quicksand.

Cars driving on this roadless plateau are in danger at any time.

If you want to find each other on this roadless plateau, you can only follow each other's ruts.

Otherwise, it is impossible to meet each other at all.

Think about it, is it easy to block a few cars that don't know the location of a province with such a large area?

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

On the shore of Zhuo Nai Lake, the bones of more than 400 Tibetan antelopes formed a forest of bones, and everyone's faces were ugly.

In the movie, they burned the bones of Tibetan antelopes before leaving.

For Zhou Zhen, this is purely a delay in time.

He immediately ordered: "Sanchi, you stay here and wait for Ritai, and bury the Tibetan antelope." Give me the bullets, Liu Dong and I are in a car, and now we are tracking each other's ruts and leaving marks for you along the way. ”

Sanchi shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous, if your car breaks down, you can only wait to die." ”

Zhou Zhen took out the map, pointed to the Chumar River and said: "Liu Dong and I only chased the Chumar River, if you don't catch up, we will wait for you to catch up." ”

Sanchi still shook his head. "It's too risky."

The unpretentious ones didn't have much to say, they just thought it was too dangerous to have only one car to set off.

Zhou Zhen Zhengse said: "Obey the order!" ”

He sighed, turned back to Issy, and said, "Bring them two more days of dry food and oil." ”

Issy nodded, got into the truck to move things, and Sanji said to Zhou Zhen, "Gayu, you bring Badin and Dawa with you." Badin used to fight rabbits, and he had good marksmanship, and Dawa was physically strong and fought well. ”

Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, "I'll bring it with Bading, Dawa's eyes are purple and bloodshot, it should be altitude sickness, you should rest more." ”

Dawa was not convinced, and shouted, "I can stand it, like Bardeen, I can fight five." ”

Sanji didn't dare to be careless, looked carefully at Dawa's eyes and asked, "Dawa, why don't you say if you're uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm fine...... It's just a bit of a headache. ”

Zhou Zhen turned his head and walked towards the car, and dropped a sentence: "Don't fight, I'll take Liu Dong and Bading away, and you will leave four people here to work." ”

A jeep traveled between the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and there was no one but them.

At night, they found a low-lying area and set up camp in the tundra.

Bardeen doesn't talk much, but Liu Dong is a talker, with him, the atmosphere will not be embarrassing.

After lighting the charcoal with a spray gun and roasting a leg of mutton, the three of them sat at the door of the tent, eating the mutton and watching the endless night.

"Are you afraid?"

Bardeen shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of people, I'm only afraid of snow." ”

Liu Dong said: "I'm afraid of everything, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and I have a baby." ”

is very real emotion, Zhou Zhen smiled: "You will definitely be able to marry a daughter-in-law next year, and add a baby the year after......"

"What do you say?"

"The state will set up a protected area, and you will be a public family member in the future."
