B: Shadow Woman (Part I)

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

The trench coat man's solid tiger body re-straightened made the short-haired female soldier feel uneasy and fearful for the first time in the field of combat that she is good at: the multiple heavy blows she tried her best just now, even if it was not enough to completely incapacitate the opponent, but it would not be like no one like now, right? How did you train that incredible ability to resist blows......

"It looks like my sister is in danger."

Although the fighting skills of one side with speed as the core are perfected, if they cannot deal effective damage to the enemy, the flashy moves will only lose physical strength and confidence. In the eyes of onlooker Yun Shang, the moment the instructor stood up from the snow, the balance of victory and defeat had quietly tilted, and what the short-haired female soldier suddenly lost was not only the victory she thought she had won, but also the will and confidence to fight, which was the most critical to success or failure.

Seeing that the guy who couldn't be killed was walking towards him again, the short-haired female soldier, who had no fear before, took a step back at this moment...... Just when everyone thought that the instructor would not let her go easily, the words of the man in the trench coat who turned his mood came from the scene.

"Over the years, you've been the first to take me down with your bare hands. If you had gone through the same training as me, I probably wouldn't have gotten up today......

"I've lost this time, and you're entitled to stay here."

The other team members around heard the words and burst into warm applause, in addition to showing respect for the instructor's sudden attitude towards victory and defeat, but also full of recognition of their opponent's performance, however, the short-haired female soldier did not accept this kind of charity in her mouth and heart: "Hmph, what do you mean that you lose, if you think you can win, just come over and defeat me completely." Such a boring victory to pass the child, your sister and I—no need! ”

Ouch hey, why is the girl so strong...... Are you here to participate in the audition, or are you here to promote the aesthetics of violence? Yun Shang was deeply helpless about the short-haired female soldier's style of acting, but the man in the trench coat had a way to deal with it: "If you insist on fighting in the second half, then we will increase the chips, if you win, you will directly pass this round of assessment, but if you lose, everyone here will lose your selection qualification with you." How is it? ”

This......

The short-haired female soldier did not expect that the instructor would tie her actions to the fate of all the team members, and the rules were unusually unfair to them...... Glancing at the audience, they all showed apprehension about this, and the team member No. 14 "snapped" with his palms together, and with his pitiful begging movements and eyes, he went straight to this side to convey the begging in his heart: Since the other party has given enough steps, you can be merciful and go down, and our future is still up to us.

Hey, that's boring.

The short-haired female soldier hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to stand back in the team, and everyone, including Yun Shang, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"Since I lost, then I will abide by the previous agreement and leave here, anyway, you don't need outsiders to be present in the first round of assessments."

The little episode before the start of the trial ended here, and the man in the trench coat hurried to get down to business: "After I leave, the guards on duty in the camp will give each person five scoring sticks, and the three of you will survive in groups above the 5,200-meter snow line [1] of Muztag Mountain for a month, and then the five groups with the largest number of scoring sticks will be able to advance to the next round of assessment." ”

"You mean to say that let's hold out in the snowy mountains of the plateau for thirty days without any supplies, while killing each other and brushing off half of the people?"

Hearing the questions raised in the crowd, the man in the trench coat had several points to correct: "First of all, I did not ask you to solve the problem by violent means, whether you steal or rob, or directly gamble with the scorestick, it has nothing to do with me, but you must remember that you are the [Chinese People's Liberation Army], not a bloodthirsty beast who will do anything to survive!" So, stop killing each other anymore, it's just the most basic survival of the fittest. In this process, if someone dies unexpectedly, or causes irreversible serious injuries to others, all team members will be disqualified from selection, and they will be sent back to the original unit and investigated for corresponding legal responsibility!

"You guys, do you understand?!"

"Understood!"

"As for how you are grouped, I don't like to use my brain, so let's follow the simplest numbering order, players 1, 2, and 3 are the first group, players 4, 5, and 6 are the second group, and so on. Team No. 30 has just withdrawn, for the sake of fairness, I will give players No. 28 and No. 29 three more scoresticks each, of course, in terms of strength, the last group is still relatively weak, but life is like this, many things are not up to you to choose, no matter what the objective conditions are, you just need to be yourself. ”

The simple and clear grouping rules of the man in the trench coat made Yun Shang fall to the ground in his chest after hearing this, fortunately, he was in the same group as Brother Leng Fei, and the two brothers could go to harm others together, without having to meet each other in the first round of assessment. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yun Shang to suddenly realize another problem: after this calculation, the last companion was the No. 15 team member...... The beautiful woman whose tent was burned down by herself yesterday?!

Thinking of this, Yun Shang couldn't help but look to the right, just opposite the beautiful woman's eyes looking at this side, and the contemptuous expression on the other party's face was interpreted in two sentences: What to see! Still not enough for me?

Belch...... Yun Shang was stunned by it, and turned his head to take the five scoring sticks handed by the guards, which were made of metal all over and felt relatively heavy, and he thought that it might be equipped with a positioning device that reflected the location of each team member.

The team members present have already known the rules, and the man in the trench coat finally told everyone before leaving: "Every day at 12 o'clock at noon, the helicopter will go back and forth to the camp once to pick up those team members who really can't hold on, there are medicines and beds in the tent in the center of the camp, but that is the item that belongs to the loser, once it is used, it will be declared eliminated."

"Two and a half hours after I left, that is, at 12 o'clock at noon today, the first round of the 'Pamir Winter' selection competition officially began, at that time Muztag Mountain will be completely closed to outsiders and climbers, and you are not allowed to go below the 5200-meter snow line, in the active area, there will be [drones] and guards equipped with power weapons on duty to patrol from time to time, if violations are found, cheaters and their teams will be disqualified from the competition.

"In addition, there are no other items to provide in this round of assessment except for the scoring stick in your hands, and there is hardly anything to eat nearby, if anyone is not well supplied and wants to survive for a while longer, then defeating other teams to obtain their food is probably the only option.

"Happy hunting for all of the month!"

Oh my God, it seems that it's not just the scoring sticks that are in demand, even the milk and milk noodles given by the fiancée may become a talisman, and when there is a chance to make a fire to thaw it later, you will definitely destroy all the dry food on the spot, so as not to be remembered...... Yun Shang was thinking wildly, with the movement of the rotors of the helicopter in the distance, everyone began to pack their things and prepare to leave, after twelve o'clock, except for the same group of partners, everyone here was not emotional.

Leng Fei, who has not moved on the side, has always fallen on the short-haired female soldier who attracted his attention, the other party's number is No. 7, and the two male soldiers in the same group do not seem to be familiar with it......

At this time, Yun Shang, who saw what Leng Fei was thinking, came over and patted him on the shoulder, looked at the beautiful woman who was busy packing up the items on the ground not far away, and reminded his brother to care about the most important thing in front of him: "Since we are destined to sit in the same boat, we can't wait for a girl from someone else to take the initiative to come and greet us, right?" ”

Yun Shang's reasonable proposal, in exchange for a cold and indifferent expression, the two slowly walked to the beautiful woman, and before they could think of how to speak, the other party raised his head along the two pairs of military boots in his sight, and said inexplicably: "The guy who caused everyone to have no tent, I won't share your food." ”

Leng Fei was stunned when he heard this, but Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, this sister is really cute, I dislike you and me, two poor bastards, have nothing!" Could it be that you want us to bring a bunch of food as a bride price before we are willing to deign to cooperate? We're not here to propose! ”

Although there was some misunderstanding between them yesterday, Yun Shang's handsome face with a communicative effect bonus still easily resolved this contradiction...... The sunny smile of the man in front of him was handsome and gentle, which made every person of the opposite sex can't help but ripple in their hearts after seeing it, and the humorous ridicule he created quickly evoked the smile of a beautiful woman, but no matter what, he still had to say the ugly words in front: "I don't mind nominally being in a group with you, but don't interfere with each other's actions, I won't take the initiative to steal other people's supplies, but I can hold on for a month." As for your food, it's up to you to take care of it. ”

"I don't know where you got your faith."

For what the beautiful woman said, Leng Fei was not just a deaf ear. Yun Shang didn't care so much, thinking that even if he couldn't hold on, he and his brother would not sit idly by, so let's do this now: "Deal, don't interfere with each other!" I haven't asked ...... yet."

"The autumn frost and dew are heavy, and the valley is up in the morning. Hello, my name is Nie Shuanglu. ”

"Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, "Autumn Dawn Travels to the South Valley through the Deserted Village"?"

In the face of such a poetic self-introduction, Yun Shang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "Birds wear floating clouds and clouds are not surprised, and the sand and water are still clear." My name is Yun Shang, please advise! ”

Nie Shuanglu didn't expect that the man in front of him not only knew the origin of his name, but also could respond to the situation with such special words and phrases in a short period of time, it seems that he is different from those reckless men who are mass-produced by the general army, although he looks a little frivolous, he is actually still a talent.

"What about you?"

For Shuanglu's inquiry, Leng Fei remained silent, and did not say that he was not good at finding chapters and sentences, even if the talented Yun Shang wanted to help, this strange word "non" also made him unable to think of a suitable poetry carrier for a while, so he had to terminate this crepe dialogue for his brother: "Words are not hearts, cold as ice." As his name suggests, my Leng Fei brother can be said to be synonymous with profundity, so let's not dance in front of him. ”

"Okay, now that we know each other, what are you going to do with the next assessment?"

Yun Shang thought for a moment, and the answer was only one word: "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Frostdew thought the same thing in her heart, but she was still willing to listen to him first.

"The rules of the first round of assessment seem simple, but there are actually a lot of variables. We have fifteen scoresticks in our hands, and as long as we don't get snatched away, we won't be too far down in the rankings as the remaining nine groups go from one to the other. However, this alone is not safe, and we will definitely have to look for opportunities to score more points.

"Now that the game has just started, everyone's awareness and energy are in a strong state, even if we can beat one group, we can't guarantee that we won't be picked up by other groups. So I suggest that in the first half of the month, we try to find a place to hide our whereabouts, only defend and not attack, while conserving our physical strength, wait for other groups to fight and attrition, and then in the remaining half a month, concentrate our energy and strength, harvest at least one high-scoring group, and ensure that we can successfully advance to the second round of assessment. ”

"Harvest the high score group?" Yun Shang's strategy was the only one that surprised Frost Dew, "Since the other party can score so many points, he must not be an idle person, why do you think you can deal with them?" ”

"It's just the two of us — we don't take anyone into account at all."

Leng Fei's answer after tampering with his brother's original intention was unmodified, and it was directly close to conceit, which suddenly made Shuanglu's face ugly. Inevitably, the two had just reached a united front and announced their break, Yun Shang hurriedly used the classic quotations of the great leader to change the topic: "It is right to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, and have confidence, but we must also be fully prepared, it is better for everyone to take out what they brought first and see how to use it." ”

In addition to the Beidou locator issued by his subordinate unit and the milk and milk noodles left by his fiancée, there are also two ice picks, a pair of ice axes, a sapper shovel that can be used to cut trees, a searchlight headlamp, a small kerosene stove without fuel, a stainless steel lighter that looks like a stainless steel lighter is actually a 10,000-time match lit by two special steel pieces rubbing sparks, and a first-aid kit filled with all kinds of basic medicines. A set of climbing ropes with a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 100 meters, as well as several parts such as quick hangers, pulleys, and rock plugs.

Yun Shang carried a complete set of tools, even the frost and dew sighed to himself, in comparison, Leng Fei carried the equipment can be much more deserted: in addition to the Beidou locator and the changed denim and pants, there are only more than a dozen high-energy compressed biscuits and a 2.5-liter Coke bottle that has been frozen into ice homemade physical replenishment solution, looking at the disgusting color with dark yellow, if he does not explain, outsiders still think that he has the habit of collecting his own urine to purify and drink.

Both of them had already confessed to themselves, and Shuanglu didn't want to hide anything, so she turned around and opened her backpack, squatted and took out the things she brought one by one: a bucket locator, a portable oxygen concentrator, a draped individual snow camouflage net, two cans of camouflage oil, one white and one gray, two cans of camouflage oil, a thermos flask, a small flashlight, a bottle of British "Jo Malone-Blackberry and Bay Leaf" perfume, two German "Shidelou-Blue Straw God of War 100" pencils, and a "Doraemon" hand-cranked pencil sharpener that I thought was a small generator, There is also the knock-off "LV" toiletry bag that looks larger than Yunshang's first aid kit......

The things on the ground are becoming more and more abnormal, Yun Shang grabbed his eyebrows, and he didn't know what to say about it, and when he saw the large pile of puffed food and miscellaneous snacks at the bottom of the bag, Leng Fei really couldn't stand the slow hands and feet of the frost and the little girl's temperament, so he directly took her backpack and poured it down, shaking off a delicate diary and a few packs of things that looked like large tissues at his feet in an instant......

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yun Shang's face when he saw this, but after Leng Fei picked up the items under him, what he thought of was that he and his brother didn't bring toilet paper, although the conditions were difficult at the moment, no one wanted to use local materials at a convenient time in the field unless it was absolutely necessary: "You can't use so many paper towels alone, I'll use three compressed biscuits to exchange a pack of ...... with you."

Before he finished speaking, Shuanglu stood up with a red face and slapped Leng Fei in place, instantly stunned Leng Fei in place, and then snatched what belonged to him in his hand, and hurriedly stuffed it back into his bag along with other items on the ground.

"Stinky rascal!"

Leng Fei had physical contact with a woman for the first time in his life, but he received a resounding slap in the face, and at this moment there was no anger on his face, only incomprehension in capital letters, and his heart said that it was just a package of paper, could he be so stingy? At this time, Yun Shang came over and explained speechlessly: "There is indeed a pack of tissues in there, but you are holding female physiological products, brother, and said to exchange biscuits, I really convinced you." ”

"What kind of physiological products, are they valuable?"

"It's not a question of whether it's worth the money, you can't use other people's physiological products as toilet paper, and you can't let people take compressed biscu......its" Yun Shang knew that Leng Fei had never had any knowledge reserves about the opposite sex, but he didn't even know what a sanitary napkin was, which was too simple, "Alas, forget it, hurry up and pack up your things and go, the camp should not stay for a long time, we still have to find a safe place to settle down temporarily." ”

Regarding this, although Leng Fei felt that as long as he and his brother were there, they would be safe wherever they went, but at this moment, he quickly sorted out his equipment with Yun Shang, and left the camp with Shuanglu who didn't want to take care of the two.

Yun Shang thinks that he should go to a higher place, after all, it is unlikely that other groups will choose to continue to increase the altitude and spoil the endurance of their members, so as to avoid encountering them early, and the frost dew who walked in front of him with the remaining anger is not gone, and responded to him with "You can't just because your name is Yun Shang you want to run to the clouds", in his opinion, the lower the altitude of the latent site, the better, first, the environment is relatively diverse, easy to hide and wait, and the impact of factors such as air oxygen content and air pressure on the human body is not as great as that of high places, which can not only save physical strengthYou might even find something to eat nearby.

The angry ones are the greatest, since Miss Nie, who we can't afford to mess with, is already going down the mountain, Yun Shang no longer insists on his opinion, and before the end of the buffer period of more than two hours, he should be able to reach the position near the snow line. The only caveat is that don't get too close to the routes chosen by the other groups. There is no snow in the sky at the moment, and it is impossible to remove the footprints left by the rush in time, but this is an inevitable problem that each team will face, or at the same time be tracked, and others can also be tracked.

Walking on the pale Muztag Mountain, the three of them saw little nature except monotonous rocks and snow and ice. Strictly speaking, this place cannot be regarded as a "place of death", not even a dangerous place, except for the low temperature and the lack of food sources around, the first round of assessment of the so-called "Pamir Winter", its wild survival link in the eyes of Leng Fei and Yun Shang, who are accustomed to dealing with harsh nature, are similar to playing at home.

The slope down from the camp is gentle, with a large fault zone that runs through the mountain and splits it in two on the right, and a relatively narrow medium-sized fault on the left. At an altitude of 5,400 meters, the trio decided to avoid the slopes and use their equipment to slide down to the canyon opened up by the large fault zone, and under the guidance of frost and dew, they found a temporary station for the first day - a large area of dense ice towers.

The front and back of this place have a wide field of vision, which is convenient for observing the enemy's situation, on the contrary, Leng Fei and Yunshang, who are in the natural bunker, are difficult for outsiders to find under the cover of snow combat uniforms.

Frost dew in his snow camouflage uniform and hanging camouflage net, but also integrated with the surrounding environment, the same group of two men went to the picnic toilet together, and after returning from the picnic toilet, they were stunned to find out where she was for the first time. However, with a faint breath of guidance, Yun Shang finally found her silent companion in the Ice Tower, and went straight to her side, lifting her head to lift her camouflage net covered in thick snow......

"How did you find me?"

After the frost dew under the creeping net was "captured", she raised her head and looked confused, and her sudden forgetting of her previous angry doubts also confirmed the judgment in the hearts of the two: sure enough, she disappeared regardless of time and place, and she was playing peek-a-boo with herself and her brother...... In this regard, Yun Shang sighed lightly, and his expression on his face was crying and laughing: "Although the human sense of smell is not so sensitive in a low temperature environment, your strong perfume smell can be smelled three meters away from the wind, is it true that our nose is not breathing?" ”

Probably because he was used to this smell, Shuanglu himself didn't notice it, and after Fu Xue scrubbed the camouflage uniform up and down, she turned around and saw Leng Fei sitting on the ground, using her brother's ice pick to chisel the frozen physical replenishment solution in the Coke bottle, and then gave half of the ice slag shaken off to Yun Shang, and chewed it directly......

Seeing that they were eager to lick all the dregs on the sticky gloves and eat them all, Shuanglu took out the thermos flask from his bag, leaned over to Yun Shang and shook it: "If you recognize me as the leader of the group, and obey my command in everything in the future, you will divide half of the nutrient solution in it, how about it?" ”

Yun Shang and his brother ignored it, only smiled and didn't speak, Leng Fei raised his eyes to look at the material of the thermos in Shuanglu's hand, and replied expressionlessly: "You better open it first, and then tempt us." ”

Frost Dew didn't understand what he meant, so she unscrewed the lid with great effort, and looked inside the bottle, the nutrient solution, which had not shown any signs of freezing last night, had already solidified into ice at this moment......

"Our lovely Nie Shuanglu team, would you like to borrow you an ice pick?"

Yun Shangluo asked rhetorically, so that the shy and angry Shuanglu had been hiding in his camouflage net for the next six or seven hours, except for sticking out his head from time to time to observe the surrounding situation, he no longer had any communication with the outside world, like a turtle without a face...... Leng Fei didn't expect the childish she to play any important role in the assessment, and after setting the location of the secret whistle and the specific shift time with Yun Shang, she buried herself in the soft snow in the ice tower forest and slept with only two nostrils between the cold head and hat.

There is a snow combat suit to isolate and keep the human body warm, which is really a good way. It's just that one of the two pretends to be a turtle and the other pretends to be a dead corpse, and the inexplicable sense of confrontation with its own comedic effect makes me a little unbearable. Perhaps, in the thin air and bitter cold of the Pamirs this winter, what will happen between the brother and this lovely new girl?

Thinking of this, Yun Shang smiled unconsciously, leaned over and lay down in the established position, quietly waiting for the arrival of the first open-air night on Muztag Mountain......

[1] Snow line: a kind of climate marker line, the lower boundary of the perennial snow cover belt, that is, the balance line where the annual snowfall and the annual melt are equal, and the distribution height is mainly determined by the temperature, precipitation, slope, slope and other conditions. Above the snow line, because the annual snowfall is greater than the annual melt amount, the snowfall accumulates year by year, forming perennial snow (or 10,000-year snow cover), which then becomes granular snow and glacial ice, and develops glaciers.
