At night in Hoh Xili, the temperature dropped sharply to more than 20 degrees below zero, the cold wind blowing on the permafrost layer was extremely biting, and the double-layer tent and down sleeping bag could not withstand such an extremely cold weather, Zhao Chengping was awakened by freezing, only to feel that his feet were cold, he arched his body and tried to curl up his body together, but in such a climate, it was just in vain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's so cold that he can't sleep, Zhao Chengping remembered that when he went out, he grabbed more than a dozen warm babies and put them in his backpack.

He got up and wrapped his heavy coat tightly, and then walked out of the tent, and the feeling of being frozen numb on his face at that moment was also a rare experience in life.

The moon outside the tent had moved westward, blocked by the mountains, and the sky was full of stars, densely packed like diamonds set in black velvet, and those third- and fourth-magnitude stars that were not visible at all under the light pollution of the city were also shining, and those constellations that could only be seen in the atlas were finally fully revealed.

In ancient times, people should have looked up at the starry sky in this way, the Chinese saw the twenty-eight nights, and the Greeks saw the zodiac.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was really cold, I didn't want to stretch out my hand at all, and I really wanted to paint a picture of such a night sky. Zhao Chengping thought so, and shrunk his hand into his sleeve again.

The car of the scientific expedition team was parked not far from the tent, Zhao Chengping carefully identified the car he had been in, and suddenly, he seemed to hear some strange noise running here, it was a heavy thing, every time it rose and fell, the earth seemed to tremble.

He hid his body behind the SUV and looked through the glass at the source of the sound, and his heart seemed to stop beating when he saw what the big black shadow was getting closer and closer, it was an adult bear!

It's not scientific! This is Zhao Chengping's inner cry, before he came, in addition to checking the weather in Hoh Xili, he also checked whether there are meat-loving animals here, I remember that my eyes swept around, and found that only one animal called XC brown bear is considered predator. And at that time, I also carefully calculated that at this time, the XC brown bear should be winter! Sleep! Finish!

"Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night, are you too cold to sleep......" Zhao Chengping thought silently in his heart. Suddenly he remembered, didn't a shootout with the poachers just now wake up this big guy who hasn't fallen into a deep sleep yet? So, now it's coming to the camp to hang out, is it to vent its anger?

The other tents didn't move at all, as if only Zhao Chengping and the brown bear were awake at this time. He looked apprerably at the tents, and suddenly found that there was leftover barbecue that had not been put away next to the extinguished fire.

In Hoh Xili, for the sake of environmental protection, they have always brought in everything, and all of them were put away and wrapped up as they were to be taken out, but this time the team members were too tired after a fierce battle with the poachers, and they only thought that it would be just one night, and they would collect the things when they got up to clean up the camp tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, it attracted a brown bear who was woken up by the sound of gunshots and got up in the middle of the night and went straight to the smell of barbecue.

"Brother Xiong, we are also lovers of masturbation, for the sake of the same interests, you can leave when you are full, ah?" As the brown bear approached the barbecue step by step, Zhao Chengping stepped back step by step, always ensuring that he was not in the sight of the brown bear.

The brown bear found the barbecue by the fire, sniffed it, licked it, and then happily ate the rest of the barbecue. After eating, he was not satisfied, he inspected the stones and sand beside the fire, overturned the garbage bags, he was very dissatisfied with the only few empty cans he had found, and tried to smell and sniff everywhere, and finally, he touched the side of the tent, sniffed it, slapped it down, and the claws tore the tent open a large opening, and the people inside were awakened to see the brown bear in front of him.

The brown bear suddenly felt that someone was kicking its ass behind its back, it roared and turned around, and slapped it over, Zhao Chengping lowered his head to dodge, the brown bear couldn't hit it, and slapped down on Zhao Chengping's head with both palms, Zhao Chengping twisted his waist, turned his body behind the brown bear, and carried full strength, and punched the brown bear. Zhao Chengping, who had just stood firmly, only felt that a fishy wind was coming towards him, and the giant palm of the brown bear was about to fall on his waist.

He suddenly leaned his upper body back, his lower waist was straight to the limit, almost level with the ground, and when his center of gravity leaned back, he supported the ground with both hands, turned his back hand, and landed steadily, he jumped back a few steps, jumping around with his hands and feet open, it looked funny, but the brown bear didn't think so, it felt provoked, and roared towards Zhao Chengping.

Zhao Chengping sped up and jumped forward to the side of the off-road vehicle, and the moment he opened the door, he felt the smell of the brown bear in his ears, and before the door was closed, the brown bear slapped the car window, almost clamping his left leg that he didn't have time to retract.

Fortunately, due to the use of car lights at night, the tired driver just turned off the car and did not pull out the car key, so that Zhao Chengping could escape with one foot of the clutch and one foot of the accelerator in the roar of the engine. The brown bear let out an unhappy roar, and the off-road vehicle deliberately drove very slowly, waiting for the angry brown bear to catch up, and then adding a little throttle, it was about to be unable to catch up, and then slowed down.

One fast and one slow, leading the brown bear farther and farther, driving for a long time, the brown bear finally ran out of strength, turned around and slowly left, Zhao Chengping only then kicked the accelerator back.

When he went back, he saw Xin Wei waving to him from a distance, all the people in the scientific expedition team had already gotten up, nervously talking to each other about the passage of the party, when the off-road vehicle returned to the camp, everyone was very excited, Zhang Haishan held his hand: "Xiao Zhao, without you, I would have made a supper for Xiong today." ”

It turned out that the tent that was torn open by the bear just now was Zhang Haishan's.

Zhao Chengping smiled: "It's nothing. ”

Xin Wei punched him and grinned: "Yes, the vigilance is high enough, so many of us haven't woken up, and you woke up in such a timely manner." ”

"Why do I think you seem to be very sorry, it can't be the disappointment on your face that the brown bear just told you to divide a piece of meat for you to eat, and now you haven't eaten it." Zhao Chengping patted him on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Zhao Chengping caught a glimpse of a gun barrel showing out of the corner of Zhang Haishan's broken tent, he pointed to the gun and asked, "Team Zhang, don't you have a gun?" You should have woken up before the brown bear came in, why didn't you give him a shot? ”

Zhang Haishan said while moving the spare tent down from the off-road vehicle: "What are we here for, to investigate the changes in the natural environment, and to better protect wild animals." Don't underestimate this XC brown bear, it's on the Red List of Endangered Species. ”

Zhang Haishan hung the fixed rope of the new tent on the ground nails, and after a while, the new tent was set up again. He looked at the undulating dark mountains in the distance, and said to Zhao Chengping: "We are the intruders who disturb their peace, so if you can not do it, I will never do it." What if, it just wants to tear open the tent and make a noise? Hehe. ”

Zhao Chengping thinks this idea is quite reasonable, but when his life is in danger, people who can still have this idea can be regarded as a rare detachment.

In the early morning of the next day, the scientific expedition team was ready to set off, facing the direction of the rising sun, the originally dark blue sky gradually revealed rose, and the originally dark and blurred environment also clearly appeared in front of them.

Hoh Xil in the early morning.

The color of the land is blue and yellow, the end of the horizon is the towering snow-capped mountains, and the blue of the sky is a depth that can never be seen in the city. Herbivores are everywhere, and nocturnal predators are mostly asleep, while those who frequent during the day are about not yet awake.

"It's beautiful here." Zhao Chengping couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, someone in the car in front pointed not far away and shouted: "Look, Tibetan wild donkey!" ”

Zhao Chengping held the binoculars, beside the clear water, there were groups of Tibetan wild donkeys drinking water, heard the sound of their car, they scattered and fled, and couldn't run a few steps, so they stopped and watched the convoy pass.

"This is also a national first-class protected animal." Zhang Haishan, who was next to him, said, "The year before last, some people illegally tortured and killed Tibetan wild asses here, and even took photos and spread them on the Internet to show off, I really don't understand where the humanity of these people is." ”

"So were they caught?"

Xin Wei, who was driving the car, interjected: "Of course I caught it, I posted the photo on Weibo, and it was all over the sky, I couldn't catch it, and the saliva of the people must not drown the relevant departments." ”

Soon, there was a faint blood red in front of the convoy.

"What's that?" Zhao Chengping asked, Zhang Haishan, who was sitting on the side, shook his head, he was too far away to see clearly.

As the distance got closer and closer, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, the shallows in front of them had been stained with blood, and the corpses of Tibetan antelopes that had been slaughtered and skinned everywhere.
