Chapter 384: A fleeting fighter

Half an hour later, Samantha still hasn't returned.

Lin Xuan leaned on his sleeping bag, squinting his eyes to rest, preserving his body, and preparing for a more difficult battle.

"Hey, what's that?" There were workers shouting outside.

"Like a kite?" Someone ran and shouted, and walked from the front of the tent to the back of the tent.

"It's a kite, it's a kite,......" more people shouted.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes and was sure that he had heard correctly, but how could someone fly a kite on the top of Mount Everest?

He stood up and slowly walked out of the tent.

The sky was still not completely clear, and the sky was mixed with black clouds and white clouds, as if there was a chaotic battle between the two armies. He noticed that almost all of the white clouds were in the form of flags, which were the long-spoken "flag clouds" on the summit of Mount Everest. The shape of the cloud is so peculiar that it seems that if you put on a bamboo pole, you can immediately turn into a white flag.

According to Lin Xuan's weather knowledge, the clouds dispersed with the wind and disappeared without a trace, and they would never remain intact under the strong wind.

The special cloud state under the special terrain of "Everest flag cloud" is the reason why it is included in the top ten unsolved mysteries. For thousands of years, Tibetans, monks, tourists, and explorers have tried to uncover the secrets of Qiyun, but have never succeeded.

Ancient books say that clouds are born in rock crevices.

In Lin Xuan's view, only by finding the place where Qiyun was born can he understand why they can maintain their unique shape.

Looking at all directions from here, the valleys, vertical and horizontal arrays, craggy and abrupt, different shades, to explore them one by one, the time it takes must be astronomical.

"In this world, there are too many things that human beings don't know, and I don't know if human beings can study this planet thoroughly before the life span of the earth is exhausted?" He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Lin Xuan." Luo Yuan got out of the tent, holding the wine jug in his hand, his face flushed, looked at the noise, and then walked towards Lin Xuan.

"Mr. Luo." Lin Xuan nodded.

"Isn't it time for us to act next?" Luo Yuan asked.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and replied extremely cautiously: "Mr. Luo, I think it depends on whether Samantha's information is credible or not. ”

"What?" Luo Yuan frowned and looked into Lin Xuan's tent.

"Samantha wasn't in the tent, she should have gone to the workers." Lin Xuan explained.

Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned closer, and asked with a smile: "So, since Samantha is not here, can we talk in the tent?" ”

Lin Xuan knew very well that Luo Yuan was a pretext, and his real purpose was to go into the tent to see the information passed by the Russians.

"Please." Lin Xuan turned around and took the lead into the tent.

In fact, there is nothing worth keeping confidential about those materials, everyone is in the same boat, and we must share and tie up together in order to overcome difficulties and advance and retreat safely.

Luo Yuan walked to the computer desk and quickly browsed the information on the table.

"Mr. Luo, take your time, and if you want, you can also take it back to the tent to see. In the current situation, each of us must be open and honest in order to avoid mistakes and mistakes. I think that's what Samantha meant. Lin Xuan said.

Luo Yuan nodded repeatedly, but quickly gave up the paper materials, but picked up the mouse, flipped through the computer, and continuously zoomed in on a satellite map to the limit.

Lin Xuan saw from the side that the core of Luo Yuan's attention was the valley outside the wind tunnel.

In the latest data, the color of the ice is getting heavier and heavier, and it is gradually becoming similar to the color of the cliffs on both sides. In other words, the ice is already quite strong enough to bear the weight of many people.

"Hey, there's been a noticeable change here, and I think it's time for us to move forward, right?" Luo Yuan muttered to himself.

Lin Xuan didn't want to answer, after all, the last thing he should do at this time was to follow the crowd and lose his judgment.

When everyone maintains the best nature of thought, everyone can get the most correct way to do it by sharpening each other.

"Lin Xuan, don't you think that we are delaying time and missing the opportunity?" Luo Yuan asked.

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Expeditions are the most taboo to venture out, especially in a place where no one knows what is about to change. ”

Luo Yuan laughed, gave up the mouse, and paced in front of the computer desk with his hands behind his back.

"We don't have a lot of good timing, good timings are fleeting, you know." Luo Yuan said.

Lin Xuan nodded silently.

The best time of year to climb Mount Everest is limited, but that's for the average climber. Top masters like Lin Xuan, Samantha, and Kong Sha can simply defy the rules of climbing Mount Everest, go straight to the mountain, and overcome any difficulties. Moreover, the colder the weather and the lower the temperature, the more likely it is that a mirage or other phantom will be frozen.

Lin Xuan knew the importance of capturing the fighters, and he knew how much damage would be caused by rushing forward. Therefore, he hesitated and refused to give anyone a decisive opinion.

"Mount Everest is located on the border between China and Nepal, with the northern slope in the Tibetan Plateau and the southern slope in Nepal. The latest measured altitude of Mount Everest is metre, and it is the main peak of the Himalayas and the highest mountain in the world......"

Luo Yuan slowly recited the information.

Of course, as long as you are a well-read explorer, you must have read these countless times and know them all.

Then, Luo Yuan is naturally not selling knowledge, but feeling it, and calming his feelings by reciting.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Please continue." ”

Luo Yuan smiled and continued to recite: "In Tibetan, 'Zhumu' means 'goddess', and 'Langma' means 'third'. Because there are four other peaks in the vicinity of Mount Everest, Mount Everest is the third, so it is called Mount Everest. Mount Everest is a giant pyramid with steep terrain and complex environment. The snow line height of Mount Everest is as follows: 5,800 to 6,200 meters on the north slope and 5,500 to 6,100 meters on the south slope. The northeastern, southeastern, and western ridges are sandwiched between three steep walls (i.e., the northern, eastern, and southwestern ridges), and between the ridges and cliffs, there are 548 continental glaciers, with a total area of square kilometers and an average thickness of 7260 meters......"

It was not surprising that he had memorized those numbers, but to Lin Xuan's shock, Luo Yuan said as he picked up the pencil on the table, and slowly drew on the back of a piece of printer paper, sketching out the sketches of the glaciers around Mount Everest.

"The glacier terrain is quite complex, and ice crevasses are everywhere, and explorers who fall into the ice crevices will be doomed, and eventually freeze in the deep layers of the ice crevices, like a beetle stuck in pine resin, and eventually become transparent amber." Luo Yuan said again.

There have been more than 20,000 such cases since the beginning of the recording, which means that at least 20,000 people have been frozen in glaciers.

"You know what? It was a very strange and terrifying thing, a living person was frozen to death in an instant, and the deceased in this state always had a very strange smile on his face, which made people shudder. Luo Yuan looked at Lin Xuan, and there was a strange and inexplicable smile on his face at this moment, which made his heart chill and burst into a chill.
