On the S228 provincial road, two Wranglers galloped by, some of the people in the car were still napping and sleeping, obviously still carrying the smell of last night's alcohol, while some people, because of excitement, stared ahead, and did not dare to relax at all.

Gao Chao at this moment, it was the person who became very alert because of excitement, he sat in the co-pilot's seat, and kept watching the changes in the surrounding mountains, although he was not unfamiliar with this road, but at this moment he was a little inexplicably nervous.

"Boss Gao, relax." Suddenly, a sweet voice dragged Gao Chao out of his nervous thoughts.

Gao Chao turned his head to look at the woman in the driving position, with a fair face, a soft face, so beautiful and eyebrows, her long black hair was pulled into a bun, she looked ahead, a smile appeared on her face, this woman was Xiao Cui.

Although Xiaocui did not enter the mountains this time, she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which was the logistical support of this operation, at the moment she acted as a driver, and the car she drove followed the Wrangler in front, and now there were four people in her car, one was sleeping and snoring, naturally a fat man, he didn't know how much he drank last night, and he hadn't opened his eyes since he got into the car.

Next to the fat man, there is Lao Lai, who is silent at the moment, just closes his eyes and recupes, as if he is asleep, I don't know what he is thinking.

Gao Chao sat in the co-pilot, and when he saw Xiao Cui let himself relax, he couldn't help but feel that he might have been too nervous just now, and he was a little embarrassed that Xiao Cui next to him noticed it.

So Gao Chao hurriedly explained: "I may not have slept well last night, so now my body is tight, and I'm fine." ”

Xiao Cui didn't look at Gao Chao, but looked at the front and said: "This operation, the eighth master has planned for a while, and he has considered all aspects of the situation very thoroughly, I believe that this time it should be very smooth, and there will be no problems." ”

Xiao Cui was obviously optimistic about their operation, so she said this at this moment, which was a relief to Gao Chao, which made Gao Chao's heart indeed more steady.

However, before Gao Chao could answer, the old man behind them snorted coldly and said: "Ghost Gate Pass, Hades Cave, there is no return to Gaoligong, no matter how much you prepare, I am afraid that after entering the mountain, you will have to rely on your own ability to adapt." ”

Gao Chao listened to Lao Lai's words, and was hooked up again, and felt a little unhappy, so he looked back at Lao Lai, only to find that Lao Lai's eyes were still slightly closed, as if he had settled into meditation, as if the person who spoke just now was not him at all.

Xiao Cui also heard Lao Lai's words, but smiled and said: "Gaoligong Mountain is high in the north and low in the south, with an average altitude of about 4,000 meters, the climate is diverse and complex, from tropical rainforest climate to high-altitude polar climate, where you only need to go forward for a day, the mountain drop is large, there are many rivers and waterfalls, there are more than 90 active volcanoes in the mountains, hot springs and geothermal resources are abundant, but there are also deadly sulfur gases, this time you are going to the place, these may be experienced, but as long as you are careful enough, I don't think that's a big deal. ”

Gao Chao stared at Xiao Cui, unable to say a word, this was the first time he had heard someone roughly introduce the situation in the Gaoligong Mountains, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, there was an active volcano in it, Gao Chaoxin said that this is not a big problem, so what is the problem.

But just thinking like this, Xiao Cui suddenly said, "Be careful, sit tight." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cui made a sharp turn, and had already turned the car from the S228 provincial road into an inconspicuous path.

Gao Chao looked out, only to find that this path is really not obvious, if you don't pay special attention to it while driving, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spot.

The path was very narrow and a bit bumpy, but the speed was not slow, and the two cars drove fast, as if they were afraid that someone would see this road and there would be cars.

Fortunately, however, the trail winded westward, and in a short time it entered the wooded woodland, so the two Wrangler jeeps soon disappeared and drove the group towards the mountains of Gaoligong.

Gaoligong mountainous area, just between the Nu River and the Dulong River, the situation in the mountainous area is indeed as Xiao Cui said, it is indeed very complicated, it is cloudy and misty all the year round, the cold is pressing, the mountainside has no scorching heat in summer, there is no severe cold in winter, the Nujiang River valley at the foot of the mountain, but it is the scorching sun all year round, such a harsh natural environment, so that the people who enter the Gaoligong mountain area, it is really unbearable, there is a saying that there are four seasons in one day, if you want to enter with your own conditions, it is 100% dead and lifeless, so the relevant local part, It is absolutely forbidden for tourists to enter at will, unless they follow the local planned route, which will be somewhat safe.

And this time Wang Lianba adopted the route, of course, is not the planned tourist route, they entered the place at the moment, in fact, a mountain road that has long been abandoned, according to legend in the fourth century B.C., Gaoligong Mountain has a quite famous Southern Silk Road, this ancient road from Chengdu, past Kunming, Dali, Baoshan, and then over the Gaoligong Mountains, through Tengchong to Myanmar, India, and even Afghanistan, even more than 200 years earlier than the northern Silk Road, and this time they chose the road into the mountain, It is this legendary ancient road.

Before the liberation, the Dulong residents in the Gaoligong Mountains could only enter and exit the mountains through this ancient road, so at that time outsiders wanted to go in, and they could only walk on this ancient road, but after the liberation, the country played the slogan of "not leaving any nation behind", in the fifties and sixties, it spent huge manpower and material resources to build a mountain road in a section of Gongshan, which ended the traffic problem in the Gaoligong Mountains, and in the nineties, these roads expanded again and re-selected the route. Tunnels and other transportation facilities have been added, and now it is not as difficult to enter the villages in the Gaoligong Mountains as it was in the past.

So in this way, this ancient road is slowly forgotten, occasionally only some bold "travel friends" come to explore, will choose this route into the mountain, but a few years ago because of a few relatively large accidents, died a few Shanghai college students, and later this line, was blocked by the local management department, and now want to enter the ancient road again, basically it is impossible.

Since it has been blocked, why can Wang Lianba still enter from here, this is naturally Wang Lianba's ability, after all, in the local area, Wang Lianba is also a well-known person, belonging to foreign businessmen who come to invest in the local economy, so he still enjoys some privileges in the local area, such as some more strictly managed attractions, if he brings friends to enter, he can still give the green light and open the door of convenience.

So this time, Wang Lianba said hello early in the morning, saying that he would take a few distinguished guests to Gaoligong Mountain for tourism, if he accompanied a few distinguished guests well, and accompanied him comfortably, then he would be happy to look back and throw millions of dollars to make an investment project, which would be a local political achievement.

So without much effort, he basically got a pass to enter the ancient road, and at this moment, the path that their two cars were speeding through was the only entrance to the ancient road.

It didn't take long for a sentry box to appear in front of it, and a wooden pole was placed on the path, and a sign was hung all over it: No traffic.

Wang Lianba's car stopped in front of the wooden pole, and on the two cars, only Wang Lianba got out of the car, he looked back at the car where Gao Chao was, and then waved his hand, Xiaocui got out of the car and walked towards the sentry box with Wang Lianba.

Although Gao Chao was in the car behind him at the moment, he could see it clearly, and as soon as the door of the sentry box opened at this moment, two little soldiers came out of it.

The fat man had also woken up in the car, and was rubbing his eyes to look ahead, as soon as he saw two soldiers coming out of the sentry box, he smiled in a daze: "Yohe, there are still soldiers in such a place, fake, right?" ”

Gao Chao "shh ”
