Chapter 112: Finding a Base
The day is almost dawn, and now for these seven people, time is everything, because their food is limited, because their physical strength is limited, and because their will is limited, you know, in such a no-man's land environment, they can only race against time and race against time to find the ancient city of Yinshan as soon as possible, and then escape from this Gaoligong no man's land.
But escaping, it's just the idea of the superb and fat man, as for the others, I'm afraid they still have their own goals, in fact, from the beginning, some people's real thoughts, have been buried deep in their hearts, they just have never mentioned it to outsiders, because they have been used to doing this, and because they understand a truth, only those who bury their lofty ambitions in the depths of their hearts can finally succeed.
In this way, the day dawned, the moment the sun appeared, everyone's hearts were stabilized, although the sun does not bring safety, but the sun can drive away the darkness.
Light is always good, darkness is always bad, but in reality, maybe it's the opposite.
After extinguishing the bonfire, everyone packed up again, then picked up their heavy backpacks, followed Xia Qing's footsteps, and set off towards the mysterious military base.
According to Xia Qing, the abandoned military base should be on the north side of the rainforest swamp, so if you look at it now, the location of that base should be on the east side of their camp.
So the group walked along the mountainside to the east, and there was only an endless vast woodland along the way, and the seven of them walked in it, looking extremely small.
Luckily, the path under your feet is easy to walk in the forest, and there is no vegetation in this woodland with a very dense canopy, so at first glance, it is only a dense thick tree trunk.
Wang Lianba has been using GPS to locate the location, he is very worried about getting lost in this woodland, which will delay more time, because he knows very well that now they only have such a chance, if there is a little more delay, then this operation to find the ancient city of Yinshan will inevitably end in failure.
But Xia Qing did not disappoint him, they were moving very fast in the woodland, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, they saw from a distance, just above them, a low-lying flat land that was not very obvious.
Although the field of vision was wide and the light was still sufficient, from their position, they still couldn't tell that it was the military base that Xia Qing was talking about.
Still, they decided to climb up the hill from here to the flat ground on the mountainside, and if it was that base, it would be better, if not, at least we could camp there tonight.
The mountain here, has become steep, the slope is also a lot larger than before, a group of people to the mountain, are still carrying heavy backpacks, plus the altitude is still increasing, although only 3000 meters of height, the average person will not have any altitude sickness, but the oxygen here is also a little thin, walk for a while, everyone needs to stop to rest and breathe.
About two hours later, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally approached the flat land on the mountainside, at this time Wang Lianba looked at the altitude table on the GPS, took a breath and said, "Here...... It's almost 4,000 meters here. ”
In fact, there is no need for him to remind them, all people have already experienced the feeling brought by this altitude.
Although Gao Chao had been a soldier and had good physical strength, at this height, he also began to feel that his head was a little heavy, and it hurt for a while, but it was not too serious.
The fat man was no better, he leaned against the big tree beside him, panting uncontrollably, and his face was not very good-looking.
Xia Qing told everyone that at this altitude, don't walk vigorously, just keep a constant speed, rest for a while, and then cut cross-cutting to the flat land on the mountainside.
At this moment, their location is already at the same height as the flat land, and the parallel distance should be about 200 meters, looking from this side, the flat land over there is bare, there is nothing, and it doesn't look like a military base.
Gao Chao saw it in his eyes, and he was already sighing secretly, he felt that they would definitely not be able to find the legendary military base today.
However, his judgment was wrong.
After resting, the group walked along the ridge to that side, and when they finally came to it, everyone realized that this was the place they were looking for.
So why can't you see anything when you look a little further away? There's a reason for that, of course.
It turned out that in the open space in front of them at this moment, there were only one after another, tents that had completely collapsed, and these tents had all been attached to the ground, and after twenty long years, a thick layer of dust had fallen on them at this moment, and if you did not pay attention to it from a distance, you would never find it.
Gao Chao and the others entered this open space, took a look, and found that it was not big, it was the size of two basketball courts, and it was distributed in a rectangular direction from east to west, with a small cliff on the south side, and a natural stone wall on the north side, about four meters high.
Gao Chao turned around, and said that this is really not a military base, at most it is a company-level base camp, and the facilities are really very simple, it seems that there are only grass-green military tents, not even a simple house, but after thinking about it, I feel that this is also excusable, after all, the conditions at that time were limited, and there was not even a road here, and it was not easy to transport so many materials in.
As soon as Wang Lianba came to the camp, he told everyone to disperse and search, strive to find some valuable clues in these tents, and then go back and summarize these clues to see if they can find information about the ancient city of Yinshan.
So the seven of them did a simple division of labor and began to carefully search each abandoned tent.
Gao Chao and the fat man together, they inspected a tent near the north side, first Gao Chao and the fat man tried to re-prop up the collapsed tent, but found that it was completely impossible, because although 20 years have passed, the quality of this military tent is still very good, except for the internal cotton core has rotted, the outer canvas has not changed, the weight is still not light, at this moment it is difficult for the two of them to re-prop up the tent like this.
So Gao Chao thought of a way, or directly in the way of destruction, to dismantle the tent, this fat man is very good, he pulled out a sharp dagger, three times five divided by two, and the tent was opened out of a few big holes, Gao Chao could only watch on the side, because his own knife, when he was saving Jiang Ji before, was inserted in the eyes of the monitor lizard, and it was lost.
But the fat man did a good job alone, and then they followed the openings in the tents and began to search for some scattered items covered under the tents.
