Chapter 31: California's Death Valley (1)

Seeing the words engraved on the coffin, several of us were extremely surprised. She went to the same place as we were going. Looks like my aunt must have found something! Since it didn't wait for us, it means that this matter is very urgent.

Seeing that a clue had indeed been found, the old ghost took the initiative to say, "Okay, Lisa, as you said, a clue has indeed been found here." I officially apologize to you! ”

Lisa didn't say much, and she didn't make any arrogant appearance. Just said lightly: "Maybe it's a coincidence!" ”

At first, I was skeptical about the words on the coffin: How could my aunt know that I was coming to the United States? And you're bound to enter this tomb? But looking back, it makes sense. When I was a child, my aunt knew my habits well. She probably knew me too well and knew that if I came back, she would definitely come to the United States to find her. However, entering this tomb is only a tacit understanding between me and her.

Since my aunt left these words on this coffin, it means that she can guess that I will enter here. Actually, due to the urgency of the matter this time, I didn't have as much tacit understanding with my aunt as I thought. Thanks to Lisa, we wouldn't have discovered this if it weren't for her. Maybe I'll have to waste a little more time looking for my aunt.

Since the clues are in the same place as where we are going, there is no reason for us to linger any longer. I said to everyone, "Let's go, hurry up and go to Death Valley, California!" ”

And so, we hurried out of the grave and drove straight to Death Valley, California......

By the time we arrived in California, it was already the evening of the next day. Death Valley, located on the state border between California and Nevada, is a pale yellow. It could be the desert area, or it could be the dry climate. In short, at a glance. You can't see any green in your eyes.

In order to increase the safety factor of entering Death Valley, several of us carried out another purchase of supplies. Tents, fresh water, food, and use, that is no longer a problem. There are also some more difficult weapons, firearms and other materials, which were purchased by the Adamstonians. To be able to speed up the trip, Adams swapped the sedan for a tall, spacious SUV. By the time the purchase was finished, it was already dark.

After a quiet night's rest. We drove into Death Valley, California. According to the clues left by Mr. Qian and our aunt, we must go deep into the hinterland of Death Valley to enter this time. The specific location is a large cave between the two Grand Canyons, which is said to be an incomparably wide cave.

Since the purpose and mood of this visit were not as urgent as the last time I looked for Duoduo and Lisa, several of us also took a group photo in front of the stone monument in Death Valley before entering Death Valley. After taking the picture, the foreigner who took the picture gave us a thumbs up and said, "Welcome to U.SDeathvalley!" ”

We didn't stop too long and drove straight into Death Valley. Look at the dusty look behind the car. I suddenly had the feeling that the U.S. military had entered Afghanistan. It's a desolation, but also a mixed mood of anticipation and excitement.

I had heard of beautiful and imposing names such as "Red River Valley" and "Grand Canyon" before. But when I heard the name "Death Valley", there was something terrifying in it.

There are five major death valleys in the world, and their bizarre properties are suspicious. When people think of Death Valley, they are always terrified. The five major valleys of death on Earth are found in the United States, Russia, Italy, Indonesia, and China.

This time, in order to find the canyon we were going to, our group of people brought guns, binoculars, compasses, maps, tents and other outdoor necessary tools, and officially entered the desolate area of Death Valley.

Death Valley has ominous nicknames such as "Extinct Caldera", "Valley of Dry Bones", and "Funeral Hill". It is a major part of the Mojave Desert and Colorado Desert Biosphere Reserve. It is located in a desert valley about 350 kilometers northeast of California, USA, on the border between California and Nevada. It is about 224 km from Las Vegas.

It is bordered by the Sierra Nevada to the east, and most of Death Valley National Park is part of it. There are two "shores" of the canyon. Cliffs and treacherous terrain. It is also the lowest and driest region in North America. Death Valley has the second-highest temperature on Earth (136°F, Libya in 1922) with an observed temperature of 57°C (134°F).

As soon as we entered this Death Valley area, we felt a sense of oppression in the desert. It was so hot that we all sweated profusely. Except for Adams, the other four of us hurriedly wrapped soaked towels around our faces and necks. However, even so. Still can't stop the heat wave from scorching us.

And Adams seems to be not afraid of such heat, although he also sweats, but he is not as afraid of the sun as we are. I've seen Americans like to bask in the sun on TV before, and this time it's a thorough experience. I've always had a question, why is their skin still so white?

These are all off-topic. The most important thing is the valley of death in front of you. In the face of such a real existence, compared to man and nature, it is really a small existence.

It is said that there is a certain reason for the origin of Death Valley:

The cultural remains of the Indians here date back 9,000 years. But the notoriety of "Death Valley" was not publicized until 150 years ago.

In the winter of 1849, a gold rush to San Francisco made the long journey across the valley. Due to the harsh weather here, most of the people were killed. The few survivors were rescued after 80 days of battling death in this barren land. One of the few rescued people who made it through the valley looked back at the valley and, as he left, said sadly, "GoodbyedeathValley!" Hence the name Death Valley.

In addition, due to the drought and blazing climate here, many gold prospectors who took Death Valley as a shortcut to California ended up dying of heat and starvation here, and unfortunately died in the unforgiving desert, and the reputation of Death Valley also spread.

On October 31, 1994, the U.S. government made it a national park. Since then, it has attracted many tourist adventurers to this deserted place. We also became adventurers who did not know the height of the sky, and we set out along the rugged mountain road into Death Valley.

Come to think of us, these people are just some "shafts"! In order to seek the lost truth, he did not hesitate to risk his life to come to this legendary land. Perhaps this is also the common nature of human beings, and it is also the most instinctive desire for knowledge. In fact, as far as I am concerned, it is actually to satisfy my curiosity!
