Hell's Gate, Chapter 17: Thunderstorms

The second dog fell behind, grabbed a handful of sand closely, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then came back to me and the fat man and said, "There is a fishy smell, next time you see the sand pit, stay away." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A little quicksand certainly won't affect the morale of the team. We didn't dare to tell people that there was something in the sand, so as not to cause panic.

Continuing along the river valley, you will encounter all kinds of birds and animals from time to time, and even wild yaks with large sizes. Except for the beasts that actively attack the team, everyone is not very interested in hunting animals, and bullets are precious and cannot be wasted.

As we were on the way, the sky suddenly changed. It was still a sunny day just now, and after a while, the sky was cloudy, and there was a dull thunder faintly, and it was about to rain.

Han Lisha frowned, pointed to a mountain col and said, "Set up camp, rest here tonight." ”

It was still early, before 5 p.m., and we walked almost 10 kilometers in the valley. It's a place with a lot of sunshine, and it's too early to camp for the night, but the advantage is that you can take shelter in your tent and avoid the sudden rain.

Although it is nothing to be drenched in a rain, but after the clothes are wet, it is not comfortable in the early spring weather of the plateau, and if you have pneumonia and a high fever, then the game is over.

Since I have already entered the valley, I camped an hour earlier and an hour later, and there is not much difference, and by the way, I can observe it around. Everyone sped up their movements and set up tents in the chosen place.

Han Lisha shouted loudly: "This is a strong magnetic area, and there are thunderstorms. Try not to touch firearms, do not use satellite phones, do not pitch tents under trees, and take care to keep your clothes dry. ”

The fat man muttered, "What's the thunderstorm in the winter?" Bravado. ”

As I pitched my tent in a ravine made of two stones, I said, "Don't say it, fat man, she's right, it's a place where thunderstorms are common." Look at that cliff, a little further away from there, this is basalt, with strong magnetism, easy to attract thunder and lightning. Blocked by the main vein of the Kunlun Mountains and the Qimantag Mountains, rain clouds gather in the valley, which may cause thunderbolts at any time, and many animals are struck by lightning and die very badly. I read it in school materials, in 83, there was a scientific expedition, and the scientific expedition team experienced thunderstorms at that time, and the name of Death Canyon mainly refers to this. ”

The fat man said, "A thunderstorm can scare people like this?" I don't believe it. ”

Looking up at the rain clouds gathering rapidly and darkening the surroundings, I set up my tent as fast as I could, and said, "Don't believe it, just don't shiver for a while." With that, I slipped into the tent as fast as I could, and crouched on my knees.

This kid doesn't believe it, but his movements are not slow, and he comes in and learns from it. Before the second dog came in, the light was bright in front of him, and the thunder exploded not far from us. Through the unzipped tent, I saw a slightly taller tree on the cliff, flashing a ball of fire, and suddenly it became charcoal.

The fat man was electrostatically induced, and his hair stood on end obviously, and the guy grabbed the dry sleeping bag and wrapped it around his body.

The thunder and lightning actually lasted not long, after all, it was spring thunder, and it was not very powerful, but it was enough to see. It was as if we were in the midst of a landslide, with constant explosions all around, broken branches, and flickering fires.

Fortunately, we hid quickly, and the place we found was also dry, and the whole body was basically not stained with water, and of course it was not so coincidentally struck by lightning.

The rain comes and goes quickly. The flickering of electric light gradually became less dense, and the sound of raindrops falling on the tent gradually became less and less audible. Soon, the sky was bright, and the clouds and rain stopped.

When I stepped out of the tent, the scenery in front of me changed. As if the river came to life, the water flowed out of the cliffs and among the stones, and pooled into the Nalengrad River, where it rushed down on the ice or submerged under the cracked ice, with an astonishing sound.

The trees and wild grass not far away had turned into leprosy heads, and several pools of black and scorched yellow appeared, and the area was not very large, and some animals could occasionally be seen inside, lying motionless on the ground.

The sky became exceptionally bright and blue. The sunlight slanted onto the purple sandstone behind him, shining and resplendent with gold.

Han Lisha shouted loudly, "Is there anything wrong?" Are they all safe? ”

In the grass and behind the rocks, figures emerged, and the sound of "Safe" continued, and more than a dozen people were safe and sound. It seems that these mercenaries are really not built, and it is common to deal with this kind of environment.

It was Han Lisha's bodyguard and driver who was lying on the ground and humming. This guy is really unlucky, he is probably affected by lightning, his hair has become a brake, and his face is jet black, which is more black than the black people over there.

Han Lisha stretched out her leg and kicked him, and when she saw that he could move, she scolded: "Old Gu, don't be ashamed, get up quickly." ”

The fat man stood next to him, pulled him, and said, "Dude, follow me in the future, make sure you're okay." ”

How do you know that this guy Lao Gu hit the snake with the stick and said, "Brother Tang, what you said is true?" Okay, okay, you'll have to help me then. ”

I frowned, what do you mean by then? It's like we're about to be in trouble. This guy was originally a little bit of spirit, but as soon as he entered the valley and encountered something, he was intimidated, and it turned out to be a silver-rod wax gun head.

He lit a bonfire with wet wood, picked up some ready-made game that was half-baked by thunder, cooked and cooked, and wandered around, and everyone scattered as birds and beasts.

We looked in the direction and headed towards a high ground to see the scenery around. Walking to a hole in the river, I saw the carcass of a wild donkey being washed into it and quickly disappeared without a trace.

The fat man said, "Crazy, the more than 100 people that the girl said were also brought downstream by the river, right?" ”

I said, "I heard that there is an underground river in the Nalengrad River, and it is not surprising that the corpses fall into the river and emerge in another place. ”

The fat man said: "Then how do you explain that more than 100 people have been cut ***?" ”

I was stunned and said, "How do I know, maybe there are fish in the river?" Eaten by fish. ”

The fat man said, "Damn, that fish must be female, hungry and thirsty." ”

I ignored the fat man's nonsense, and said to Ergou: "Say, what is hidden in the sand nest where the camel sank?" ”

Ergou said, "It may be an animal like a snake, and only a snake can swallow something in prison." ”

I frowned and said, "Didn't you hear there's a python here?" Besides, pythons don't stay in sand dens, and there are no holes there. ”

Ergou said, "Xiao Du, have you paid attention?" There are dark rivers everywhere here, and many streams have disappeared without flowing into the river. That thing might be hiding in the Dark River. ”

I looked closely, and sure enough, we found a hole next to a snow-covered rock. The hole is not small, there is a radius of two meters, the rain has flowed almost now, it has become a dripping water into the hole, and the sound of falling water is faintly heard below.
