The area of the Qinling Mountains is very vast, and the scale of the topographic map that Liu Cong took is very small, which leads to a very large number of topographic maps.

These topographic maps are only topographic maps of the Qinling Mountains in the northwest of the Jiuzhi Mountains, and if we get all the topographic maps of the entire Qinling Mountains, there may be hundreds more.

Looking at this large pile of maps, Zhang Linfu felt a burst of flowers in front of him. There are too many topographic maps, and just looking for a point has to go through these maps from beginning to end, and if you find seven points, you can exhaust people to death.

"You can't find it this way, these maps of yours have different scales, and it is more difficult to connect them together, and there are too many maps to find at all. We must spread out all these maps and connect them together to form a whole map of the Qinling Mountains before we can find the points recorded by the Seven Stars Dragon Quest. Zhang Linfu touched the big red nose and said.

Chen Ziyang and Liu Cong also agreed with Zhang Linfu's idea, but if they wanted to spread out hundreds of maps, they couldn't do it in the hotel. The internal area of this hotel is not enough at all, it seems that it can only be placed in the courtyard, but fortunately, the courtyard area of the hotel is large enough.

The whole team was quickly mobilized, in order to prevent the Dragon Digging Society from snooping on the heights, Zhang Linfu first ordered people to build a simple frame shed in the courtyard, and then used the hotel sheets to cover the shelves, and made a cloth house to block the sight of others.

After the cloth house was built, Liu Cong distributed the map to the people in the team, and they spliced the map one by one, splicing all the maps that Liu Cong brought together.

In the beginning, it was a very difficult task, after all, the maps were not of the same scale, and there were no numbers on the maps, so I didn't know which maps should be connected together. But as time went on, and the size of the map became larger, the work became better and better.

Although the scale of these maps is different, as long as the maps are separated from each other by a certain distance, this problem is perfectly solved. It took more than half a day to put all the maps together.

Zhang Linfu looked at the topographic map of the Qinling Mountains, which was dozens of meters long and more than ten meters wide, and smiled with satisfaction.

"We've rested enough, let's get started. You are all scattered within the scope of the map, and I will use Jiuzhi Mountain as a starting point to read out the coordinates, and the first person to find it will stand on that coordinate. ”

In order not to damage the map, all the people standing on the map took off their shoes, and when Yang Lei took off his shoes, a smell of stinky feet instantly permeated the entire cloth house.

"Whose stinky feet are this, this is sour, why do I feel a little spicy, who understands in his heart, hurry up and put on his shoes." Zhang Linfu covered his nose and rubbed his eyes with his hands before saying.

"Hey, I'm not here to refresh you, I've been busy for most of the day, and everyone is tired, so it's inevitable that they will be dizzy and inattentive.

Wake up with this smell, and we can lift our spirits when we are looking for it. Yang Lei hurriedly ran out of the range of the map, put on his shoes, and came behind Zhang Linfu and beat him on the back.

"The first coordinates, direction: west-northwest, the distance is about ...... The height should be ......" The first coordinate was reported from Zhang Linfu's mouth, and the people in that area hurriedly paced back and forth on the map, looking down at the map while roughly estimating the direction in their hearts.

Because the maps are separated from each other, the gaps between the maps need to be removed when looking for coordinate points, so that the error will be larger, but fortunately, the advanced point of the Seven Star Dragon Quest is that all seven points can correspond, and there should be only one mountain range that can completely correspond to seven points.

In this way, even if there are a few points that will be wrong when looking for them before, when all seven points are found, the hidden mountains will have nothing to hide.

"I found it, probably this place, but there are four parallel mountains here, all of the same height, I don't know which one." After a while, a member of the team stood on the map and shouted at Zhang Linfu.

Liu Cong hurriedly walked over and checked with the coordinates reported by Zhang Linfu just now, and then he nodded. "It should be here, but there are a lot of parallel mountains here, and the distance between them is not far from each other, so it's really hard to tell the difference."

"It's okay, you stand there first. After we find out all seven points, we can be sure. ”

"Second point ......"

"I found it, there are three longitudinal mountains and one transverse mountain range."

"Third point ......"

"I found it, and this is a confluence of mountains in the shape of a 'man', with three mountains connected together."

"Fourth point ......"

"The Fifth Point ......"

……

As Zhang Linfu reported one coordinate after another, all the hidden points of the seven dragon search tips were found one by one.

Then Zhang Linfu walked back and forth twice around the place where the seven people were standing, and finally he nodded with satisfaction. Although there were many mountains parallel to the map at the feet of each person, or there were many mountains intertwined, there was only one mountain range running through the feet of the seven people in turn, and it was obvious that it should be the place indicated by the Seven Stars Dragon Quest.

However, because the seven maps are not on the same scale and are separated from each other, this mountain range does not look intuitive. So Liu Cong carefully recorded these seven points according to the annotations on the map, and then he opened the software of the satellite map and carefully searched for them.

The satellite map is more detailed, but because the satellite map does not record the height of the mountain range, it cannot be used to find the seven points recorded by the Seven Stars Dragon Quest. But once these seven points have been identified, and the satellite map is used in reverse, the mountain range looks very intuitive.

However, I don't know if it's because the area is sparsely populated and the satellite scans are not very detailed, the mountain range recorded by the Seven Stars Dragon Quest is also very vague on the satellite map, but fortunately, the outline of the mountain range can probably be seen clearly.

The Seventh Division of Maoshan and the Dao Gu of Elimination, eight people gathered in front of the computer screen, watching Liu Cong draw the range of the mountain range with colored pens little by little.

"Good guy, it's more than a hundred kilometers of mountain road from us, and if you walk on two legs, you will have to walk for three or four days." Looking at the mountain range on the map, which is more than 20 kilometers long, Jin Huang said in surprise.

"You can't go there for three or four days, you underestimate Qinling too much. The altitude of the mountains in the Qinling Mountains is relatively high, almost all the mountains are more than two thousand meters high, and the height difference of the mountains is very large, and the slope is also very steep, you look at the straight line distance is only more than 100 kilometers, if you count the detour and the distance of climbing, I am afraid that three or four hundred kilometers can not be stopped, and there should be no place for more than ten days and half a month. ”

A woman's voice came from behind everyone, and everyone turned around together, only to find that the person who said this was Li Linzhi, a rock climbing expert.

"Li Da Beauty, I really picked the right person to bring you this time, you are an expert in rock climbing, although you have not been to Qinling, but you should have a certain understanding of the topography of most mountain ranges, do you have any suggestions for where we are going?" Liu Cong asked Li Linzhi.

According to my estimates, after entering the Qinling Mountains for more than 20 kilometers, our off-road vehicles must give up, and the remaining mountain roads can only be walked on two legs.

There is a very big difficulty in trekking through the Qinling Mountains, that is, the speed of progress is very slow, the physical consumption is very large, it will accelerate the consumption of water and food we carry, and the requirements for climbing equipment are also relatively high, and we are not fully prepared now. ”

"It's hard to say about food and water, let's just prepare more, you can buy climbing equipment directly, these shouldn't be a problem." Liu Cong said.

"It's not that simple, if we carry too much food and water, it will increase our burden, and then it will consume more physical strength, slow down the progress of the team, and thus need more water and more food, which is a vicious circle." Li Linzhi said with a solemn face.

"It makes a lot of sense. In this way, Liu Cong, you go and discuss with Li Linzhi, and choose a path for the team to advance according to the topographic map, this kind of uninhabited mountainous area is not a joke, we must deal with it comprehensively. Which mountains can be bypassed, and which mountains we must climb, are all listed in detail, and make an optimal plan as much as possible.

You will buy whatever equipment you need, and the food and water you need will be calculated, so that we will not have to go hungry and thirsty in that place where the earth is not supposed to be in the sky.

But you must act quickly, and every day we delay here, the Dragon Digging Society will have one more day to prepare. I'm sure there are quite a few spies from the Dragon Digging Society looking at our white canopy in a daze.

Zhen Hao, you kid has a lot of ideas and experience, you have to think of a way to let us get rid of the tail of the Dragon Digging Society from the time we leave here. If their people really follow us into the Qinling Mountains, it will be more troublesome.

Although the terrain is complex and there are many shelters, after all, our team has 28 people, and the team is relatively slow, and if they also have a climbing expert, we can easily be followed by them.

That's all for today, all the maps on the ground are put away and burned, and there must be no clue left for the people of the Dragon Digging Society. ”

After Zhang Linfu finished giving the order, the people in the team dispersed and were busy preparing their own things.

Chen Ziyang looked at Zhang Linfu's back and nodded, no wonder his fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong's organization would develop so strongly, which was inseparable from these people under him.

As the leader of the team, Zhang Linfu did not rely on the old and sell the old to insist on going his own way, but listened to the opinions of professionals very humbly, even if this professional was a very young Li Linzhi. And he also has a unique means of employing people, employing people without suspicion, and letting them do everything after they have been explained, giving everyone the greatest space to play their own strengths.

Because the scale of this town is so small, there is no place to sell professional climbing equipment, so Liu Cong directly ordered someone to drive to a big city far away to purchase, and it took two days to come and go. In the course of two days, everything else was almost ready.

That night, Liu Cong called the owner of the hotel, settled the room fee, returned the deposit, and drove out of the hotel in turn.

After more than an hour of driving west along the road, it was completely dark. Liu Cong, who was sitting in the last car, saw through the back window that there were two cars following his convoy in the distance, although the distance was relatively far, but the headlights of the two cars were very conspicuous in the dark night.

Liu Cong took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Pay attention to all vehicles, there is a tail in the rear." Act as originally planned. ”

Soon, the convoy marched to a 90-degree turn, and when Liu Cong saw that his car had also turned this sharp corner, he then said to the walkie-talkie: "Each vehicle listens to my command, three, two, one, turn off the lights." ”

With Liu Cong's order, the headlights of the seven off-road vehicles went off together, and all seven drivers wore night vision devices. All seven cars made a sharp turn to the right in an instant, and all of them rushed off the road and into the wilderness.

Except for the headlights in front of the car, the other bulbs of the vehicle had already been taken down, and the seven off-road vehicles were hidden in the night and drove in the direction of Qinling.

Not long after, the two cars behind also turned around this sharp bend and drove forward without pause, moving farther and farther away from the convoy of Liu Cong and others.

Zhen Hao's plan to throw off his tail was very effective, and he took advantage of the blind spot of the driver of the tracking vehicle by taking advantage of a curve and the cover of night, and successfully got rid of the tracking of the Dragon Digging Club.

The next morning, in the woods at the foot of a mountain range, the team members who had rested for the night hid seven SUVs with some bushes and branches, and at the same time dug a large pit nearby and buried a large number of guns and ammunition in it.

This was part of the plan agreed upon by Liu Cong and Li Linzhi, because it was too difficult to cross the Qinling Mountains on foot, and in order to reduce the average weight of the team, the only way to sacrifice firepower was to resort.

Liu Cong retained a combat group, and the men of this combat group were heavily armed and led by Zhen Hao. The rest of the team was armed only with a pistol and a dagger for self-defense, which was also a reluctant choice after weighing up.

Before throwing the gun in his hand into the pit, Yang Lei reluctantly said goodbye to the automatic rifle in his hand, he stroked the gun again and again, and carefully wrapped the gun with a tarpaulin, and then slowly put the gun into the pit like a burial, and bowed three times to the gun.

When everything was ready, the 28 people in the team threw off their legs and walked into the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains.
