Chapter 607: A third of the glacier corridor
Liu Chengyuan was still very surprised that Ye Yun and his party had only prepared such a little thing, but after looking at the thunder dragon and artillery, this little surprise was indifferent.
He and Brontosaurus do have a good personal relationship, and can even be called a lifelong friendship, so they still know a little about the word 'player'.
However, along the narrow road of the snowy mountain, he was really shocked by the physical fitness of Ye Yun and the two girls.
As the snow along the road became heavier and the wind began to increase as the narrower the crevices, everyone began to use trekking poles. Liu Chengyuan himself is also a mountaineering enthusiast, once climbed the Annapurna Peak, which is a little shorter than Nanga Parbat Peak, although he gave up halfway, he also climbed to a height of nearly 7,000 meters, it can be said that his physical fitness is really good.
But at this height of 3,000 meters, even he began to pull out his titanium alloy trekking poles, but Ye Yun and the two girls still walked forward on foot, and looked very relaxed, which was a little strange.
Ye Yun seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate those two young ladies, they are not just playthings (these two words are whispered), do you know about the LGD consortium's climb to Mount Everest in 2016?" The two of them were one of them, and they were half-handed. ”
Liu Chengyuan didn't know anything about the old godfather climbing Mount Everest, but for him, he didn't care about other people's climbing, and it was normal not to know.
However, Ye Yun's words still shocked him: "Really? These two young ladies are small and look like they are all beautiful and delicate, and they actually climbed Mount Everest? ”
Ye Yun had a natural expression: "Of course, you can't see it, Xi Ling is twenty-seven years old, and Nobunaga's son is also twenty-five years old, they are both from a small professional mountaineering team, although the mountaineering team is unknown, but the master who taught them was very famous in the past." He is the son of one of the first warriors to climb Mount Everest, and he himself climbed Mount Everest in his twenties. ”
The mountaineering team itself is not necessarily to climb the mountain as a full-time job, in fact, many international mountaineering teams are to assist as a business, to put it bluntly, some thrill-seeking rich people like mountaineering, will hire professional mountaineering teams to accompany themselves to protect and help themselves.
The mountaineering team brought by Liu Chengyuan also made a living in this way, so he knew a lot about this matter, and he was not so surprised to hear Ye Yun's explanation.
Immediately, he looked at Ye Yun again: "What about you, Brother Ye?" Also, both of them are from professional mountaineering teams, so they don't have any equipment with them? And how do you not seem to know much about mountaineering? ”
Ye Yun explained one by one: "I am a pure mountaineering enthusiast, and I am here to seek excitement. You may not realize it, but I've already reached the summit of Annapurna, which is the shortest of the ten peaks, but it's extremely difficult to climb. Hehe, as you know, there are so many people looking for excitement these days, some people like skydiving, some people like diving, but I like mountaineering. And the poor like to climb and look. Then we can only look at the top of the world's tallest buildings, and rich people like us naturally have to pursue and overcome the forces of nature. ”
He paused and continued, "As for the two of them, their common sense is poor...... Hey. To put it bluntly, in fact, it is only sold in the name of mountaineering. I've known them for a few years, and basically they are in the mountaineering team, and they just don't do anything and climb during normal climbing hours, as for when they don't have a job. Basically, except for sleeping with you, it is training, how do you know anything too much. Well, as for the equipment. In fact, I was prepared at the beginning, but because I invited artillery, his ability is extraordinary, and he can rescue even if he encounters danger, which naturally saves a lot of complicated work. I climb mountains for thrill seeking, not for fame, and it's useless to find so many people to do so much preparation. ”
Ye Yun said, Liu Chengyuan still understands a little, simply put, it is nothing more than the four words of uniform temptation, but this 'temptation' is more special. In fact, normal men will feel excited to conquer powerful women who are more dominant in a certain industry, and women who are good-looking and can conquer nature are certainly more tempting.
Although Liu Chengyuan was already determined to kill this 'gentleman' at the right time, he still felt like a confidant to Ye Yun at this moment, and exclaimed: "There are not many such women, brother, you are really a blessing." ”
Ye Yun laughed, straight and straight, but he didn't mention the words of giving these two women to Liu Chengyuan to play with generosity, which made Liu Chengyuan, who had just had a little affection for him in my generation, even more determined to kill him.
After walking for more than an hour, there was already a glacier in sight, and the sunlight hit the river, reflecting a white glow.
The old tour guide who led the way at the front stopped, waved everyone to stop, turned back to Liu Chengyuan and said: "Mr. Liu, it's strange that this bend is the Rupol rock wall, I see that the weather is not very good, it seems that there is going to be a blizzard, I am afraid that the death and injury of climbing the rock wall will be great at this time, it is better for us to rest here for a day and hurry tomorrow." ”
Ye Yun glanced at the endless blue sky and the fiery sun, and couldn't help but wonder: "This weather can actually be snowstormed?" ”
The old guide smiled bitterly: "The weather on Nanga Parbat Peak is the most unpredictable, I have been working here for more than 20 years, no one is more familiar with the weather here than me, and there will be a snowstorm after about half an hour." Two, I'm charging by the time rather than by the hour, and it's not good for me to delay for a day, but seriously, it's still fate! ”
Liu Chengyuan nodded and beckoned to one of the two climbers who had been following the old guide in front of him.
Ye Yun took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, are you familiar with all the surrounding environments?" ”
The old tour guide said: "If it is on this altitude line, I am very familiar with the radius of about 100 miles nearby, and if it is higher, I basically only know the route of Nanga Parbat Peak." ”
He glanced at Liu Chengyuan, who was chatting privately with the mountaineer, and complained to Ye Yun: "Everyone thinks that climbing Mount Everest is the most suitable month in May, so climbing Nanga Parbat Peak is also the most suitable month in May, but in fact, no, Nanga Par is the most suitable time to climb in June, because the number of avalanches is relatively less during this time period, and the weather is relatively stable." However, only a small number of highly professional teams will come to climb in June, and most of the rest will start around May, and I don't know what those people think. ”
Ye Yun said: "Didn't the residents under the mountain tell them about this?" ”
The old guide shook his head and said, "It's useless to say it." Everyone thinks that May and June are just a short time apart, and it doesn't matter which month you climb. What's more, because the main stream gathers in the mountaineering town in May, everyone's subconscious feels that it is relatively safe for everyone to climb the mountain together with a large number of people, in fact, this idea is very stupid, mountaineering is against nature, in the face of the great power of nature, what is the point of fewer people? An avalanche came down, and 10,000 people climbed the mountain together and died. ”
Ye Yun still wanted to talk to the old tour guide, but Liu Chengyuan had already come back and said to Ye Yun: "According to my map." There is no need to climb the Ruper Rock Wall, the left turn of the glacier in front of you is the Ruper Rock Wall, and we have to go to the right. Let me ask you one last thing, brother, do you really want to go treasure hunting with me? ”
Ye Yun immediately rubbed his hands 'excitedly' and said, "Brother, when is it time to climb the mountain?" Adventure is hard to come by, if I hadn't met you, brother, how could I manage such an exciting thing? Let me be blunt, I don't want any gold or silver treasure to be found. Just this experience. ”
Liu Chengyuan said: "That's okay, brother, as long as you have no complaints and no regrets, brother, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman!" ”
On the surface, the two of them are very righteous and almost live and die together, but in fact, they have their own small calculations in their hearts. Even Liu Chengyuan had already positioned Ye Yun as a dead man in his heart.
After deciding not to climb the mountain, Liu Chengyuan said to the old Pakistani tour guide: "Okay, let's start to travel to the southwest now, you can explore the way." ”
The old tour guide got some information before he came. At the moment, he was not too surprised, but he still persuaded bitterly: "But the snowstorm is coming, we ......"
"It's fine. At this altitude, even if you encounter a snowstorm, it's not a big deal, let's go, I'll double the price for you. ”
Liu Chengyuan came to this old tour guide in the hope that he would rely on his familiarity with the environment of this mountain range, coupled with his deep pockets, and he was extraordinarily confident in speaking.
The old tour guide couldn't persuade him, glanced at Ye Yun who didn't speak for him sadly, and continued to lead the way.
Walking out of the narrow road, the glacier that cannot be seen at a glance in front of it is even more dazzling under the sun, and with the surrounding peaks are blazing white, if you don't wear protective glasses, I'm afraid your eyes can be blind.
The side of the glacier is not too wide, but the peaks above are raised outwards at a height of more than two meters overhead, and the old guide deliberately chose this path, I am afraid that he may not be planning for the arrival of the snowstorm.
There is not much snow on this road, and it is more convenient to walk, about another hour of walking, there is already a raised ridge stretching south, and the snow veins on the side are smooth downward, faintly looking at the sand veins in the desert.
The team stopped, and Ye Yun leaned over to Liu Chengyuan's side.
Liu Chengyuan was looking at the mountaineer with a map and a multi-functional latitude and longitude tester and guide at the moment, and he didn't say anything about Ye Yun's arrival.
The world has been going on for thousands of years, but the mountains have not changed, but the water is changing.
The movement of high-altitude surface glaciers has changed many times over thousands of years, and neither Ye Yun nor Liu Chengyuan's maps are accurate.
The omnipotent watch is certainly a prop of the law of cause and effect, but cause and effect are mutually reinforcing, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing, even if there is this watch, Ye Yun cannot be directly guided.
In this way, relying on modern scientific means for detection is undoubtedly the best way to solve the map problem.
I have to admit that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, seeing this, Ye Yun is also extremely glad that he didn't kill Liu Chengyuan, otherwise, if he really relies on himself, even if he has the ultimate speed of seven or eight minutes from Huludao to the background, it is absolutely impossible to find that secret place in a short time.
Seeing that it was already dark, Liu Chengyuan ordered to rest here tonight.
The easy proximity to the glacier and the danger of relying on the ridge side depression are understandable. And Liu Chengyuan, as the supreme commander of the team, will not say anything even if his orders are unreasonable.
Obtained a nearby half-mountain cave, and the group set up camp here.
Something happened that night, for example, Liu Chengyuan went over to chat with the artillery thunder dragon after a few perfunctory words from Ye Yun, and the artillery also pretended to Liu Chengyuan under Ye Yun's hint; For example, Ye Yun and the old tour guide also talked a lot, and had a deeper understanding of the nearby terrain; Another example is that Ye Yun went out to explore late at night, climbed the top peak of more than 5,000 meters above his head to look down, and combined with the map of the golden compass, he had a great agreement with the direction determined by Liu Chengyuan.
But in the end, the night passed peacefully.
Whether it is mountaineering or exploration, it is passionate in film and television literature, but in fact, it is not, especially walking on this endless snow-capped mountain glacier, in fact, the behavior is extremely boring. It's like the Journey to the West master and apprentice four or the Lord of the Rings, it seems that a lot of passionate things happen along the way, but in fact, more time is still walking.
I walked all the way south for two days, and the straight-line distance was not too far, and it was about eighty miles away. During this period, I was lucky not to encounter an avalanche or a big snowstorm, and although the whole team was a little tired in the overall situation, I was still relatively happy after all.
Finally, on the fourth day of entering the mountain, Liu Chengyuan and Ye Yun found the third landmark on their map almost at the same time, but it was a capped glacier corridor.
This corridor is extremely spacious, with a width of three or four hundred meters, and countless icicles in the middle stand up the ice dome overhead, and there are many ice stalactites and craggy and abrupt ice pinnacles inside.
We are already a third of the way through!
Liu Chengyuan licked his lower lip and secretly glanced back at the two girls, secretly admiring their good physical strength and salivating even more. It's a pity that the contact with the artillery has not made substantial progress after camping in the past few nights, although the latter seems to be quite interested in recruiting himself, but he is only hovering between wavering, if he kills the kid surnamed Ye at this time, I am afraid that it will provoke a backlash.
But anyway, the road is still long, and Liu Chengyuan is not in a hurry, so he talked and laughed with Ye Yun along the way.
Entering the glacier corridor is far more frightening than walking up the glacier, because looking down, there is a deep pitch black beneath the transparent ice, just like a diver sitting in the deep sea, causing endless fear.
Fortunately, the quality of these people is not bad, and no one is too panicked, but they are more careful when walking, which is more appropriate to describe as walking on thin ice.
It's just that everyone, including Ye Yun, didn't notice that in the darkness under the deep ice, a pair of scarlet giant eyes were peeking at them fiercely.
Ye Yun's plan to use Liu Chengyuan to find the secret place is about to face bankruptcy...... (To be continued.) )
