The surprised and strange faces of this group of people made me touch my knees, it seemed that they all knew that place, but what was the matter with this expression?

At this time, the photographer of a photographer with half-long hair said: "I have been there by Guo Zaco, it is very beautiful, but the North District is a very dangerous place, what are you doing there?" "Of course we know this, the Zeng team told us about the situation over there long before that.

Although the area is a no-man's land, it also attracts many adventurers and photographers because of the magnificent scenery and the peculiar brackish and half-light water. They crossed the no-man's land and reached the 5,080-altitude area of Guo Za Tso for photography, but few people would go to the north of Guo Zatso.

There is a very large snowy area, the snow peaks are towering, the average altitude is about six or seven thousand, there are many large glacial relics inside, the most dangerous thing is that there is a very strange magnetic field in the snowy area, all electronic devices will fail after entering.

Photographers tend to be in the area of Guo Zaco, and rarely get close to the North District, because if they get close, the camera equipment will be problematic.

In 74 years, there was a professional national surveying and mapping team, which once went to the "Sea of Death" Taklamakan Desert nine times, the "forbidden area of life" Karakoram Mountains, and marched into the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains twelve times.

He was also stationed in the North District for a period of time, but in the end, for some reason, he didn't go deeper, and it is said that there are still the remains of the group left by that group.

Zhou Xuanye answered the photographer's question, but it was obviously a lie: "Of course, it's for the challenge." This reason is not flawed in the eyes of some people who like to explore, and challenging and transcending is a concept of adventure.

Therefore, after Zhou Xuanye finished speaking, the photographer said: "I advise you, it's best not to do such a challenge, I heard that seven years ago, there was also a national-level surveying and mapping team, and it took a year to come out after entering, and people are crazy." ”

I couldn't help but glance at the photographer, and said that this person was still very well-informed, looking at his dress and the level of photographic equipment, it seemed that he was a person with two brushes, so I asked his name, and he said, "You can call me Lao Zhao." ”

The pair of centaurs on the other side, after the initial shock, also eased down, and the woman in her thirties immediately said with great interest: "It's just right, you guys go to Guo Za wrong, we can go along a while, haha, I'm looking forward to the results of your challenge." ”

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "We're ready to leave after eating, what about you?" ”

"Same." After the woman finished speaking, we made up our minds to go along. After all, the area from Longmu Co to Guo Zhaco is no man's land, with deep plateaus and deep valleys, glaciers and dangerous shoals, as well as all kinds of wild animals, it is easy to attack lone people, and in such an environment, it is always safer to have more people.

At that moment, the two of us introduced ourselves while having breakfast.

It is understood that this eight-person expedition team is a member of an outdoor club in Shanghai, which has relatively high requirements and accepts people who have reached the professional mountaineering level. This time, the team of eight people, everyone has achieved a lot of results, and it is not the first time to enter Tibet.

The woman who spoke to me first was the deputy team leader in his forties, and the team leader was a man in his forties, and the team members were all called by the club's code name, the team leader was called 'Snow Leopard', the deputy team was called 'Blue Eagle', and the rest of the bunch was also full of animals.

Fortunately, these people had a car and came by car, so after breakfast, we didn't rent a car, so we hitchhiked on National Highway 219 and continued to move forward. The road conditions on this section of the road are good, and there are few vehicles, and when driving on the Xinzang line, you can't see a single car for half a day, so the speed is also very fast.

At noon, we arrived at Longmu Tso, and the snow leopards drove directly into the meadow, and on full speed, they could not take long to see a very large lake. The rocky beaches around the lake are glowing a brilliant white color in the sun, and from a distance, they look like ice and snow.

The blue lake reflects the white clouds in the sky, on the vast plateau, from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, there is a cool breeze with snow, and in the low-lying land not far away, a group of wild donkeys look at us vigilantly, and they will run away without a shadow after a while.

The shiny white substance is the salt left behind by the evaporation of the salty lake, which the snow leopard says is very rich in minerals and contains the highest amount of lithium in the country. In the early years, the government did not allow mining, but in recent years it seems to have been somewhat relenting, and it is said that large mining companies have taken over its mining rights.

Of course, this is just grapevine, and I don't know if it's true, but if it's true, I think it must be a big disaster for the creatures of this place. This paradise lake, far from the earth, may soon usher in large machines and a lot of fuel emissions, and I am afraid that we will no longer see this scene of salt and snow lakes and mirrors.

Speaking of this, Lan Ying sighed: "You said that this thing is really great and hateful, it can conquer everything, the Antarctic and Arctic Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Everest, can push mountains and reclaim the sea, and build a steel city, but how many things has it destroyed?" ”

I felt quite touched and nodded.

"So more and more people like to explore, eager to go to no man's land, only where there are no humans, can we see the world as it is," Snow Leopard said. ”

These people deserve to be a professional expedition team, and the topic went off the rails all of a sudden, and they began to count their own expedition experiences, and I was stunned for a while when I listened to them, and I really gained a lot of knowledge.

After more than three hours, the altitude was high and the terrain was raised, and our off-road vehicle could no longer drive, so we parked next to an ice ditch. As soon as you get out of the car, you can feel a chill, the snow flowing down from the snow-capped mountains not far away in the ice ditch, and the ice floating in the grass on both sides.

I took a sip of water, the snow water was very sweet and cold, the ice ditch was on the grass, all the way forward, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the air was very dry, and it made people's nose a little stinging and uncomfortable after a long time. I took the mask from my bag, put it on, covered my mouth and nose, and the group started hiking with our gear on our backs.

The trek took about two days to get to this no-man's land, and the snow leopards and our companions traveled for more than eight hours.

In the plateau area, the greater the physical exertion, the more severe the altitude sickness, fortunately I have been adapting to it here for a month, and I have climbed several large and small snow-capped mountains. I didn't feel strained at this time. As for the rest, it's even easier.

I feel like I'm quite cowardly, you must know that when I got off the plane, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian didn't change their faces, and I had altitude sickness. In Zhou Xuanye's words, in my case, it doesn't matter if I play in a place like Lhasa, because the altitude of Lhasa is actually not high, and it is in a position that most people can accept, and only a few people will react. Unfortunately, I'm one of the very few.

Everyone is hiking, stop-and-go, snow leopards they also brought simple camera equipment, so from time to time to take a group photo, along the way you can see a lot of animals, white-lipped deer consume cattle and sheep wild asses, etc., halfway is still on a plateau, saw the climbing antelope, the posture is light and agile, people are breathtaking.

It was dark late in Tibet, so we didn't camp until about 8 o'clock in the evening, and the temperature was very low at night, because there were no large carnivores, so there was no vigil, and everyone slept until dawn.

At about seven o'clock, the genius here was bright, we packed up, walked for more than three hours, climbed a high ground, and then looked at a misty snow peak in the distance, towering and straight, like a knife and axe, the clouds and mist were steaming, and it was difficult to see the true face.

The snow leopard waved at us and said, "You go north, we go east, let's break up here." Good luck. ”

I said, "You too, good luck." ”

The codenamed Grizzly Bear in the team smiled: "It's a small matter on our side, but you have to be careful, goodbye." With that, the two of us parted ways.

Just when the eight people turned to leave, and I was about to leave, as soon as I turned around, I suddenly saw something lying on the cliff not far ahead, and when I looked at it, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Snow leopard!" ”

This sound was relatively loud, and it spread widely on the empty plateau, and the snow leopard and others, who had already walked out of the road, stopped when they heard the words, and the snow leopard shouted: "What do you want me to do?" ”

I said, "It's not called you, it's really a snow leopard!" ”(.)
