Early in the morning of October 9th.

With the guidance of the tour guide, several cars were parked in the parking lot, and six people got out of the car with equipment and bags on their backs.

Seeing the clothes of the three men, Zhou Ning paused, and Xia Momo glanced at him sideways.

"Why doesn't it look good?"

"It's good-looking, such a yellow-green mountaineering suit, very individual, very beautiful, but the three of us wear the same clothes, no matter how you look at it, it feels like team building, on the other hand, there are a few of you, the difference is very big."

Xia Momo shook her head.

"How come, this is a series of three styles, the color is similar, and besides, you wear the same clothes, can you wear the same as Da Zhao wear?"

In a word, Zhou Ning was speechless.

Da Zhao leaned over with a grin and tightened the belt under his backpack, obviously feeling that his backpack was heavy.

"What are you carrying?"

Da Zhao sighed, raised his hand and pulled his fingers, and began to take stock:

"Food, drink, napkins, collection bottles, a set of cameras, video cameras, satellite phones, oh and a couple of new garbage bags."

"To take a picture of Peng Shinian?"

Da Zhao nodded.

"I won't agree to this next time I am killed, in order to upgrade, the sins I suffered along the way are really unspeakable."

Xia Momo was amused.

"I know a lot of idioms."

Da Zhao snorted and pinched Zhou Ning and Xia Momo's shriveled backpacks.

"You guys are in space here, hurry up and decorate more food and drink, my heart is unbalanced, and according to the tour guide's introduction, we pass through this small desert and can walk to the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains.

It's only eight o'clock now, if the physical strength is good, we can try to climb the mountain, after all, it is so beautiful to look here on the plane, and today is already the ninth, this is our last stop, we will return tomorrow, let's have a good time. ”

Dr. Chan also walked over and patted his backpack.

"Da Zhao is right, tomorrow is going back, we will have a crazy day today, yesterday the hotel slept well, physical strength has also recovered, I just asked the tour guide, they accompanied us across the desert to the mountains to play.

The other drove the car, from the highway to the other side, directly from the Gobi down, we can take the car to the hotel in the city, so that we can have a better time, do not go back, but also save physical strength, let's raise our hands to vote? ”

Several people were unified, they all raised their hands, Xia Momo tidied up her backpack again, brought clothes in it, and packed a lot of food and water, and then started to set off.

Although it is called a park, that is, there are some buildings at the main entrance, and when you walk out for half an hour, you will feel that it is different from ordinary sand dunes, the sand here is not that hard, but very soft, and not smooth, all of which are undulating sand dunes.

Stepping on such sand, the foot fell into half of it, took a step forward and slid back a third, a few people just walked for half an hour, the physical exhaustion was very serious, although the weather was not hot, but there was no shelter here, under the sun, Da Zhao had begun to wipe the sweat constantly.

"Guide Liu, this is too difficult to walk, how long will it take us to cross here?"

The young guide showed a row of small white teeth, and it was clear that as a local, he was still very aware of this reaction.

"Don't worry, this desert is very difficult to walk about half an hour ahead, the sand here is in a fluid state, but don't worry that there will be no sudden fall of people, it's just the surface form, which is different almost every day, and it can be regarded as an experience.

See those greenery ahead? We only had to walk another kilometer or so to leave the quicksand, where it was much easier to walk, and we could reach the bottom of the mountain in about four hours. ”

Da Zhao took two sips of water, stuck his cane on the ground, and asked with a wheez:

"Can the car drive to where we are climbing?"

"Almost, I have a satellite phone here, don't worry about no signal, we can contact the driver at the bottom of the mountain, if you feel too tired, you can not climb the mountain."

Zhu Xingxing shook his head.

"On the last day, no one can be left behind, just a show of hands voted, Zhao Xinli and I have no problem with my physical strength, if you admit it, go out to live tonight."

Da Zhao almost squirted out a mouthful of water, such a strong word, Zhu Xingxing could speak, and quickly gave Zhu Xingxing a look, but Zhu Xingxing didn't care at all, and stared back directly, Da Zhao raised his hands.

"I didn't admit it, I just confirmed the follow-up arrangement, isn't this what the captain should do? Okay, the rest is over, let's go, the sunglasses and hats are all on, and the southward walk is a little dazzling. ”

Several people set off in full gear.

In fact, it is good to talk about it, because if you move forward aimlessly, people will have no purpose, and it is easy to lose their way, and it is easier for the body to feel tired.

Sure enough, when I walked near the green plants, I could see the shadow of the mountain in the distance at this time, and my feet were a little harder, at least I wouldn't take a step back a third.

When there were still five or six kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, Guide Liu blew the whistle and asked everyone to gather to rest for a while.

"Why do you want to rest here, because the road ahead is not easy to walk, not to mention the ups and downs, and some places are too soft, just like when we enter the desert range, take a rest, and we will not be so physically exhausted when we go to the foot of the mountain."

A few people didn't speak, after all, talking now is physically exhausting.

After resting, he finally walked out of the desert at twelve o'clock, and when he saw the hard ground at the foot of the mountain, Da Zhao was a little excited.

"Oh my God, I'm finally stepping on the hard ground, no wonder it takes physical strength to walk in the desert, it's really not an ordinary consumption, Zhu Xingxing, can I eat more today."

Several people laughed.

"I thought about it when I went back to the hotel, but why didn't the car come?"

Tour guide Liu held up his mobile phone and dialed the phone.

"I sent you the location, come here, we have reached the foot of the mountain, this time I feel a little more to the west, you be careful."

Hanging up the phone, Da Zhao looked interested, drank water and came to Guide Liu's side.

"I said tour guide Liu, do you usually cross the desert and come to climb the mountain?"

"There are not a few in a year, and the desert is halfway gone, ninety percent of it has returned, and the physical strength of a few of you is really good, you must know that we are at a high altitude here, and you can see that you often exercise."

Da Zhao smiled, and such words made him very proud.

"I'm asking about all the tourists in this desert, not just the number of people you are leading in the group."

Tour Guide Liu nodded very seriously.

"I'm talking about all the numbers, after all, there are not many foreign tourists who come here to play, most of them are running for the colorful Danxia, there is very beautiful and romantic, just sit in the car and watch it, there is no physical strength here to play, and the locals who like to play this, haven't you seen enough of the yellow sand every day?"

A few girls went to release water together, Zhou Ning was on guard, after all, this place was deserted, but it was not a worry, Chen Cheng also came over at this time.

"You said we deviated at this time, didn't you come here either?"

Tour Guide Liu nodded.

"I guess it's too sunny today, we deviated a lot to the west, and we walked a few kilometers more, so we didn't see the car, according to this longitude and latitude, you see we are here now."

As he spoke, he held up the electronic map and zoomed it out, and a red dot was indeed pasted on the edge of the mountain range, and the desert area, which was already on the northeast side, was indeed not a little off.

"Good guy is far enough, on the flat area at the foot of the mountain, it is a little difficult to drive over, let's not wait, first eat and drink, leave markers, and then we will go up the mountain, it seems that Peng Shinian is going back to invite me a big guest, I look at the vegetation above, I have never seen it at all."

"Out of breath."

Liu Yufei glanced at Da Zhao, and was laying out the picnic cloth with Zhu Xingxing, Da Zhao didn't care at all, and then said with a smile:

"Let's have a good meal, this mountain looks very high, climb to the top of the mountain, I don't think it's realistic, let's do our best, eat first, and find out thick clothes after eating."

Everyone sat down around the picnic cloth, the car did not come for a long time, it is estimated that it is indeed difficult to drive, after all, this is not an asphalt road, just a section of the Gobi that extends at the foot of the mountain, full of ditches and bumps and gravel.

After everyone finished eating, in fact, this can be regarded as a light trip, after all, the weight of climbing the mountain on their backs is not light, and then the girls went to tidy up the housekeeping, changed into a long-sleeved jacket, and put thick clothes on the top layer of the backpack, and then Zhou Ning and they prepared.

After finishing up, a few people opened the satellite map, although the signal was not good, but it was more than enough to judge the trend of the mountains in front of them, after observation, Da Zhao took a screenshot, drew a line, and then held up the map and let everyone take pictures.

"Let's walk along this col, after all, this is not the south, it is still close to the desert, there is less rain, the risk of mudslides is low, and the inside of the col is gentler."

Guide Liu was a little puzzled, pointed to the ridge next to him and said:

"However, the guests from our side, as well as the master who taught me how to climb the mountain back then, all said that they wanted to walk the ridge, saying that it was the safest route to make it easier to observe the surrounding situation."

Zhou Ning looked at the two of them, and then looked up to observe the situation in the col, the terrain here is a little special, and the wind is very strong, if you climb to a certain height, the ridge is indeed quite dangerous, and Zhou Ning doesn't want to have any moths on the last day of travel.

"Listen to Da Zhao, let's go, let's go, Da Zhao and Liu tour guide open the way, Zhu Xingxing followed behind, then Xia Momo and Sister Fei, Sister Fei is behind Chen Cheng and me, just take care of the upper and lower two, we are not strong, just to stand on a high place and have a look at the mountains, not for the sake of adventure safety first, let's go!"

Da Zhao smashes it, smashes it, and smashes it.

"Zhou Xiaozhou, you rob me of my lines."

A few people began to go up the mountain quickly, and they really climbed only to find that they walked in the col, not too fragrant, although there were some gravel, but the slope of the mountain did not exceed 45 degrees, and in a short time, a few people walked to the position where the two ridges converged.

Sure enough, when I stood here, I found that the desert below seemed to be able to see some boundaries.

Just as she was about to leave, Liu Yufei stared to the side and made a sigh, Da Zhao glanced at Liu Yufei, followed her gaze, and didn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Sister Fei?"

Liu Yufei raised his chin and glanced at Guide Liu.

"Look over there, between the two cols at 10 o'clock, is that a spring?"
