LBU: Winter in the Pamirs

B: Shadow-like woman (middle)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

At night, the cold silver glow of the hazy moonlight lingers in the silent ice tower, creating light clouds and flowing water that are both real and illusory, and rendering the Muztag Mountain in winter into a strange light blue with a hint of beauty.

Frostdew crawled out from under the snow-soaked camouflage net, making sure her surroundings were safe, and got up and stretched her stiff limbs that hadn't moved for hours. I didn't expect to fall asleep while writing in a diary, and I slept for so long. Those two guys are too, they don't come to call them, do they treat people as nominal partners?

"Yunshang ......"

The white ground under the moon was like frost, and the movement of stepping on snow with the creaking footsteps echoed among the ice towers of the desolate fault zone, and there was no reply except for the ghostly echo of the deliberately muffled voice.

"Leng Fei?"

Shouldn't those two guys be too cumbersome, leaving themselves alone in the ice and snow and then sneaking away?!

"Leng Fei! Yunshang !! ”

"Big night, you're summoning spirits?"

Suddenly broke the peace of the four loud shouts, in exchange for a sleepy helpless response. The male voice came from behind, turned around but saw no one, until a familiar figure came out of the gap at the bottom of the huge ice tower not far away, and Shuanglu realized that he had persecution paranoia: "You are quite good at hiding, can you go in here?" ”

After handing over the shift with Leng Fei, Yun Shang spent two hours digging out a space inside the three-story ice tower in front of him, and before he had time to enjoy the fruits of his labor, he was summoned by a female companion who was afraid of being alone at night......

Ice is a poor conductor of heat, blocking the entrance and exit with things, and the heat inside can hardly be conducted to the outside of the tower, plus it can shelter from the wind and snow, it is really good as a residence, the only drawback is that the hollow structure is limited in volume, and it can only accommodate a single person at present...... Frost Dew went to the igloo to experience it for himself, and felt very satisfied, and came out to announce to Yun Shang unceremoniously: "OK, now this place is mine." ”

"Why?"

"Lady first, and you burned my tent!"

"Didn't we pay you for the tent later?"

"In the end, it wasn't because of you that you were taken away by the instructor?!"

……

Yun Shang felt that he couldn't say anything about her, so he had to watch the frost dove occupy the magpie's nest, and pushed the obstructive carrying gear out of it, leaving the ice axe and ice pick, saying that he wanted to decorate the interior of the igloo......

Someone smashed the ice tower and was buried alive, Yun Shang wrapped the camouflage net left outside, found a place to sit down, and listened to the sound of rustling and shoveling ice inside, thinking that he was busy for half a day, and in the end he could only sleep in the snow at more than 30 degrees below zero.

This competition is a competition between man and nature, and also a competition between man and his kind. In such a situation, you can't seek comfort, but try to maintain a balance in your body, a balance of calories in and out that barely meet the basic needs of survival. The food and physical replenishment that he and his brother brought were enough for half a month at most, and if they wanted to stay on the Muztag Mountain for 30 days, I am afraid they would have to find another way......

After all, what is the purpose of the organizers of the "Pamir Winter" event choosing this place as the venue for the assembly and the first round of assessment? If it's just to test everyone's ability to survive in the wild, then there are so many places to go, so why not use a helicopter gunship as a transport vehicle, risking the risk of approaching the maximum flight altitude, and going back and forth to the camp at an altitude of 6,300 meters every day?

In addition, the age requirement for the participants to be under 22 years old does not seem to be to select the most well-trained soldiers who have served in the army for a long time. Being young means being malleable in all aspects and can be built into a special soldier who can adapt to the needs of any battlefield. It can be inferred from this that the team members finally selected by the "Pamir Winter" will face a mission environment in the future, which will inevitably be related to the "cold land", and the scope of responsibility is a relatively special new field.

Before, I only heard that my country's star war unit "E Lianhua Brigade" registered in the Pan-Earth Alliance was going to set up a special operations group directly under it, and openly selected members from each unit in the five major theaters, so I was recommended by my unit to participate in the training camp and became one of the six people with the highest comprehensive score of military quality in the Central Theater......

Since the training camp courses and tests were conducted separately, he didn't know the other five people in the same war zone, anyway, he must be among the 30 team members at the beginning, and the northern war zone where Leng Fei's brother is now must be the same...... In the future, when the comrades-in-arms in the same area met on a narrow road, it was really a turtle who was afraid of the hammer, and asked who was beaten after the fight.

Until now, I still haven't been able to make a fuss, and the above information about the establishment of the special operations group directly under the E Lianhua Brigade has always been partially mysterious, what kind of plan is it? Looking back at the content of the training camp, there is nothing special except for the addition of Krav Maga and wartime stress resistance on the basis of high-intensity physical, tactical, firearms and combat training. Of course, the "Krav Maga" here does not only refer to Israeli martial arts, but a battlefield survival technique, which emphasizes the use of concise actions to quickly get rid of the threat in a crisis, which belongs to the philosophy of self-defense, and it is also an extreme survival method that is difficult for ordinary people to master.

Just as the special forces survival training textbook says, the basic principle of survival in the field is first of all to preserve oneself, because only by continuing one's own existence can one have the opportunity to complete the tasks on one's shoulders.

In the coming month, I and my companions will not only face the harsh natural environment around us, but also various challenges from the elite of our peers, whether bright or dark. The time span is long, the opponents are many and strong, if you want to retreat with your whole body, you must have a complete set of action plans in your mind, focusing on Tibet, and combining Tibet with fighting. Thinking is not limited to fists and feet, rational use of the tactical ideas taught by the instructors of the training camp, everything is skillful for profit, and the whole process is won by surprise. This may be what the tournament organizers want to see in the first round of assessment......

The plan in his heart has been decided, Yun Shang covered the camouflage net and prepared to sleep, and suddenly, a bag of puffed food with eyes flew out of the ice tower, which was impartial and landed right in his hand.

"For the sake of your help in finding a good place to live, please eat."

Listening to the explanation of Shuanglu's words with a reward, Yun Shang smiled, and explained that you were cheeky and occupied other people's places, and now you want to use a bag of potato chips to pass away? There is also a dog printed on the package, and the words "single dog food" are written on it......

Snacks don't have much nutritional value and don't provide much energy, but Yun Shang has been fighting against his teeth and hard, compressed biscuits for two days, and the occasional change of flavor seems to be good for his physical and mental health.

"Then ...... Thanks. ”

The frost dew inside didn't say a word, waiting for Yun Shang to tear open the nitrogen bulging bag, and after eating two slices, he instantly understood his mind: "I'll go!" Wasabi-flavored! ”

On the first night after the official start of the "Pamir Winter" selection, it was unusually calm all over the Muztag Mountains.

At dawn the next day, Leng Fei, who had completed the guard work at the high ground, returned to the ice tower, and was catching up with the frost dew that had not closed his eyes all night and came out from under the ice tower.

"Come in and take a look at the 'Eskimo igloo' I built for the group!"

"Huh?"

Leng Fei didn't understand what she meant, and the brother who had just woken up on the side took him to step over the ice slag piled up in front of the gap, leaning over and burrowing into the ice tower, which was originally only enough for one person and a half to squat The small space has been expanded several times at the moment, in order to maintain the stability of the overall structure, the ice roof is streamlined, the bottom of the arc is two meters from the ground, and the floor height is enough for people to walk upright.

“Wow...”

Fingertips swept across the smooth ice wall in front of her, Yun Shang didn't expect that a girl with frost dew could have such a great ability, and in just a few hours, she could dig out a place that could accommodate five or six people with just an ice axe and ice pick, and the most surprising thing was that it didn't seem to be just for herself: "Aren't you unwilling to live with us, why have you changed your mind now?" ”

Frost Lu untied the braid tied in the ponytail and let her wave-like curls fall leisurely down her shoulders: "Since we are partners in the same group, we should be honest with each other and support each other in life. It's minus twenty or thirty degrees outside, do you want to sleep in the snow every night with your hat and goggles? ”

"Of course—no."

Yun Shang was very honest in his mouth and body, and took off his hood full of ice and cold-proof goggles, feeling that he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Although Leng Fei did not express his opinion, "No news is good news", he did not say anything against it, which shows that he also recognizes this advantageous place of residence in his heart.

Because the heat generated by the daily activities of the three people is difficult to lose, the internal temperature of the ice tower is always about ten degrees Celsius higher than the outside, the ice will not melt, and there is no wind and snow invasion that is coming, and there is no need to arrange people to guard around it.

After moving all the items and equipment brought by everyone into the igloo and cleaning up the broken ice near the gap, even if outsiders set foot here, they could not see any signs of the presence of people in the ice tower forest, but Frost Dew still felt that something was missing: "It's a pity that we don't have a canvas, and we can't see a tree on the bare Muztag Mountain, otherwise we would have spread a layer of soft snow on the ground, and then cover it with branches and fallen leaves, so we don't have to lie on the ice at night." ”

"That's easy, isn't there a canvas tent in the camp?"

Someone's casual nonsense without thinking was exchanged for the disdain on Shuanglu's face: "You set fire to your tent, and now you want to dismantle the tent where beds and medicines are stored, can you do something else besides destroying public property?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Shang immediately had nothing to say. In this regard, Leng Fei has other ideas: "When we clean up the other groups and take away their clothes, won't there be pads?" ”

It's like this every time, they can't say a few words, Leng Fei and Yun Shang, who have the concept of survival, are stealing or robbing, and there is always a way to make Shuanglu not want to deal with them anymore.

The days spent under the same roof lasted four days, during which the three of them spent almost all of them in the ice tower, except for going out to the toilet. Yun Shang exchanged two compressed biscuits for paper and pen to Frost Dew, and usually relied on playing backgammon with his brother to pass the time, and Frost Dew's biggest hobby is eating, almost non-stop, and no matter how she eats, there is no shortage of stock in the bag, which makes people suspect that she has a four-dimensional pocket hidden in Doraemon's backpack, and constantly pours out all kinds of miscellaneous snacks from it......

On the fifth day of the assessment, Frost Dew proposed to take advantage of the snow to stop at the 6,300-meter camp and ask the guards on duty there to see if anyone had been eliminated during this time. Leng Fei had already wanted to move his muscles and bones, Yun Shang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to understand the current situation of each group.

After agreeing on their opinions, the three of them said they would go, and climbed over the fault layer against the snow and fog blown down by the mountain wind, all the way up to their destination.

A new bulletin board was erected on the side of the tent in the center of the camp, scraping off the glass-covered white ice outside, and listing the basic information of the team members participating in the assessment, including the number, name, war zone and military type of the team, without a specific unit number. In addition, only the No. 30 team member who had previously retired from the competition was crossed out in red, indicating that this person has been eliminated. In other words, five days after the assessment, the remaining 29 team members are still alive.

Leng Fei's gaze stayed at the position of the No. 7 team member for the first time, it turned out that the short-haired female soldier was called Luna, from the Western Theater, and her unit belonged to the Rocket Army, the predecessor of the "Second Artillery", no wonder her temper was as hot as eating an artillery battle......

And Shuanglu, who has never mentioned her origin, shows that she is from the Southern Theater and belongs to the Strategic Support Force, the Chinese fifth branch of the armed forces established at the end of 2015 after the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force.

"Huh? How do you write in that column...... 'Yunbu Sure'?" ”

Hearing Shuanglu's question, Yun Shang explained that he had Tajik ancestry, although he generally used the two-character Han name, but he did not apply for a name change in accordance with the law, so his resume was still a refined four-character compilation, and he didn't know if he would see the original full version of the eight characters one day.

"Leng Fei, Yunbu Su is hot......" Shuanglu tasted the different names of the two, and suddenly found something interesting, "You are both in the army, one cold and one hot, at first glance I thought they were a couple!" ”

A pair of what, brothers, faggot or dog man and woman?

Yun Shang saw that Shuanglu took out the diary and copied the information on the bulletin board on the spot, although it was out of the prudence of knowing himself and the enemy, but in his opinion, there was no need for that: "It's just twenty-nine people, there is no need to be so solemn, I have all the information in my mind." After hearing this, Frost Dew's face was full of disbelief, not to mention which war zone they belonged to and what kind of troops they belonged to, just matching everyone's names and numbers was very easy for people to remember.

"Okay, then I'll test your ......" Shuanglu turned the pencil on her fingertips and motioned for Yun Shang to turn her back, "Among all the team members, only one person is a compound surname, who is he and how many is the number?" ”

Leng Fei re-examined everyone's information when he heard this, and there was no compound surname in it, so besides, this is not a problem related to memory......

"No. 22, Le Zhengyang, is from the Southern Theater of Operations like you, the difference is that it belongs to the Navy." After closing his eyes for only three seconds, Yun Shang had already said the correct answer, and started popular science by the way, "'Lezheng' is the official name of the ancient Chinese court responsible for managing music, but as a compound surname, it is not common. ”

"Yes, you even know the origin of your surname? So, counting from the 1st downwards, who is the eighth person to belong to the Army? "Among the twenty-nine team members, sixty percent are in the army, and the problem of frost and dew is obviously suspected of stealing and cheating. Yun Shang finished calculating in his heart, and smiled like a treacherous plan: "It's the first handsome guy in this selection competition, No. 14 - Yunbu Sure, who is loved by everyone and blooms with flowers!" ”

"Poof!"

Someone's eloquent answer was narcissistic to the extreme, I thought he would be so obsessed with memorizing other team members that he forgot to include himself, but now it seems that Frost Dew is a little miscalculated: "The last question! If you get it right, I'll admit you're a handsome guy, and a handsome guy with a particularly good memory. ”

Cut, how do you have to admit this? The appearance conditions are here, whoever is not convinced will stand up!

"Among all the team members, there is a person's name, and each word is repeated with other team members, who are they and what is the number?"

This closing question is indeed more difficult than before, not only to remember the name of each team member, but also to split the words out for comparison. However, it only took Yun Shang less than half a minute to complete this series of work: "Our lovely Nie Shuanglu team member, you have painstakingly put down every question, are you tired?"

"If it's not that you're not mistaken, then you can only count the case of homophones and different words. No. 27 Lu Feng, who belongs to the Army of the Western Theater, plus No. 30 Xue Qiang, who has lost his qualification for the assessment and belongs to the Army of the Hong Kong Garrison, one person and one word, just form the name of the No. 3 team member, Xue Feng, who belongs to the Air Force of the Eastern Theater! ”

"Who's calling me?"

Before the words fell, someone really stood up. Although the male figure turned on the other side of the central tent, his words were tantamount to reporting his home.

Yun Shang was surprised that he had inadvertently practiced the summoning technique, and he actually called out the master just by name, but what Leng Fei thought in his heart was that he had finally encountered the prey, and the other party did not have a companion present, so he walked over alone to pay tribute......

"So it's you?" Xue Feng recognized the No. 14 in front of him, because he had helped him extinguish the fire a few days ago, and he still remembered the second goods who burned the tent he lived in to boil milk. However, what answered his sentence was a powerful side kick from the oblique stab!

Xue Feng's eyes were quick, and after raising his arm to block Leng Fei's sudden attack on his face, he dodged left and right while retreating a few steps in a row, all dodging the enemy's dense punches that followed......

In modern warfare, hand-to-hand combat, especially hand-to-hand combat, is rarely used, so the proportion of daily training is not large. But every man who comes out of the barracks will not ignore his fists and feet, because this is the military culture, and it is also the most direct way for men to solve problems.

In hand-to-hand combat, Leng Fei is first-class in terms of strength, skill, and ability to resist hits, and if you want to talk about the shortcomings, I am afraid that only 191 cm is too tall, so it is not enough in terms of flexibility. Because of this, he did not pursue the opponent who had been out of his attack range from the side.

"Tsk......"

Xue Feng rubbed his left arm, which was painful in his bones, and was deeply surprised by Leng Fei's method of greeting him: "The guy with developed limbs, do you think that you can pass the first round of assessment with your own brute strength?" ”

can do things that can be leveled with hands, Leng Fei never bothers to speak.

Yun Shang knew his brother's personality very well, and when he saw that he didn't answer and went straight to Xue Feng, he inevitably fell into the notoriety of revenge, so he hurriedly stepped into the middle of them and started to be a peacemaker: "This benevolent brother helped me put out the fire, and now he is alone, we embarrass him so much, and it is not good to spread it." ”

Leng Fei has never cared what others think or say, but the brother's position still needs to be considered, and Shuanglu on the side also thinks that there is no need to damage the group's reputation for the five scoresticks, although someone has ruined his reputation when he came......

After a short silence, Leng Fei slowly released the clenched iron fists on both sides.

"Hey, I left the team and went out alone, not to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy." Xue Feng admired Yun Shang's graceful demeanor, but he didn't agree with his persuasive rhetoric, "If I don't want to entangle with others, even if the three of you go together, you won't be able to get close to me." A man like the wind is not a ...... who has lost his name."

Yo, I and my brother call each other "man on the clouds" and "man like an iceberg", and now there is a "man like the wind"? In this regard, Yun Shang felt quite interesting and fateful, and after reaching out and holding down Leng Feiyan's body that was about to restart, he looked back at Xue Feng and said, "Then why are you here, listen to the tone, it seems that you are sure to pass this round of assessment?" ”

"Of course."

Xue Feng took off the snow goggles and his hood, and showed a harmless smile on his face: "The first round of assessment only said that the five groups with a large number of scoring sticks could be promoted, and it was not stipulated that the groups could not join forces. If you gather five groups to form an offensive and defensive alliance, share all the resources at hand, and then wipe out the remaining few lone groups like falling leaves, and divide the points they have captured, then no one outside the alliance will have no chance at all. Now, the nine groups have agreed to act with us, and there are three places left, are you interested in joining? ”

It turned out that Xue Feng stayed in camp to meet other group members and then persuade them to join the alliance. After listening to his explanation, Yun Shang thought to himself that if he wanted to pass this round of assessment in a relatively safe way, this was indeed a good strategy. However, most of the people who came here were mavericks and arrogant, not to mention whether everyone accepted this opportunistic way of winning, and even if they joined the alliance, the trust and cooperation between each other was unknown.

Yun Shang did not give an answer in silence, because the final decision depends on whether Brother Leng Fei and Miss Nie, who think highly of ourselves, are willing.

"Not interested."

"I don't like to join in the fun."

Leng Fei and Shuang Luyan said one by one, and poured a basin of cold water on Xue Feng head-on. Yun Shang had already expected their answer, so he had to say sorry to the person who sent the invitation with an expression of helplessness, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.

"That's fine. Since you like to be a skirmisher, I don't have to be strong. Xue Feng, who was coldly refused, did not have any displeasure on his face, but thoughtfully left a way back for both parties before leaving, "Every day at twelve o'clock at noon, I will stay in the camp for a period of time, if you change your mind, you are welcome to come to me at any time." ”

Yun Shang nodded, smiled and watched Xue Feng leave, at this time, three snow-stepping figures suddenly appeared in the distance, I thought it was a group or nine groups of people, but the women walking in the middle had no hoods on their faces, and their short neck-length hair like black coffee was fluttering in the wind, and they were very familiar......

Luna!

Leng Fei snorted, thinking that today was really lively, as soon as the heavy snow stopped, snakes, insects, rats and ants were all out of the nest...... And Yun Shang was a little worried about this, the short-haired female soldier was so capable of fighting, and Xue Feng was deeply hidden, if he took the opportunity to pull her group into the gang, wouldn't it be a great threat to himself and his companions?

As expected, when Xue Feng saw the three members of the menacing group, instead of making a detour, he stepped forward to say hello, and it seemed that he had instilled what he had said to Yun Shang to Luna again, just like a person who came to the door to sell insurance, and he was the one who caught everyone.

"If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave later?" The same concern also exists in Frost Dew's heart, in this harsh assessment of survival of the fittest, the team members are not friends, they can only be enemies.

In the field of vision, Luna held the right hand handed by Xue Feng tightly, and as they reached a strategic consensus in a certain sense, the first fierce battle of the "Pamir Winter" polar selection competition may also be coming......
