On January 30, the trip continued, and Shen Fei seemed a little silent along the way.

In fact, everyone was not very active, they had been trekking for so many days, everything that had to be said had been said, the fatigue was gradually accumulating, and the interest of everyone was not high, only the leader Gatlov was more active with his love for mountaineering.

Shen Fei has been thinking about various hypotheses, but in fact, he doesn't have too strong a bias.

First of all, the fact that several people fled before they had time to put on their coats and shoes, including the opening of the tent from the inside, can be explained by the infrasonic interference theory plus the avalanche theory.

There is a documentary director in the United States called Donnie Echar, who went to the place of the incident and conducted a field investigation after the case.

He found that the style of this place at night was extraordinarily large, and the location between the mountains was suitable for the production of Cyclone Carmen.

The Kármán cyclone, commonly known as the Kármán vortex street, is a well-understood phrase in which the wind flows through an obstacle and forms two double-lined vortices in opposite directions on both sides of the obstacle, and the combination of the two after passing through the obstacle is the Kármán vortex.

The Kármán vortex causes noise below 20 Hz, below which humans cannot hear, i.e., infrasound.

However, this low-frequency noise can be harmful to human health, mildly causing dizziness, nausea, anxiety, irritability, etc.

It cannot be ruled out that the mountaineering team was disturbed by infrasound waves, hallucinating, causing collective panic and thus losing the ability to judge.

When everyone is in a state of agitation, they may be in a hurry to flee if there is any wind blowing in the outside world, so they cut the tent with a knife and run out quickly.

But these do not explain the deaths of the nine people who followed, especially those who suffered severe internal injuries.

Among the existing credible speculations, only the hypothesis that the bacteria killed people in order to keep the nuclear test secret can explain these injuries, and they also have the ability to clean up the scene.

So the family is more inclined to this kind of conspiracy theory speculation.

When Shen Fei first entered this world, he felt a little familiar when he saw the place name Vizhai, and when he heard the name of the team leader, he already realized that this was the famous Gatlov incident.

At that time, he was already thinking about the whole incident in his heart, and he was ready to face the Soviet Union, but yesterday's experience made him change his mind.

Time came to January 31 in the midst of everyone's bored rush.

As early as when the three players entered this world, they could already see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but it was not until this afternoon that they arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, which is called Wangshan Running Dead Horses.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when they arrived at the hunter's hut at the foot of the mountain, the nine-member team was relieved and unloaded a batch of baggage from the carriage.

These bags are too much and too heavy to affect their climb to the snowy mountains, so they put some of them in the hut first and pick them up when they return.

These tired team members didn't even bother to light a fire, but simply ate some canned food.

Due to the poor condition of the team members and the official start of climbing tomorrow, I got into my sleeping bag at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Outside the hut, the trio of players discuss the dangers they might encounter tomorrow and how to deal with them.

As the team went deeper, the wind and snow became more and more violent, and today's marching speed was almost an hour to a mile, because of the snow on the road, which had reached a depth of one meter and two, and it was very difficult to walk.

The three of them simply formulated some tactics, but how they were specific would have to be improvised.

Shen Fei let out a sigh, and as soon as the little guy came out, he was in such a cold environment, and he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

This is also what makes Shen Fei wonder, if it is a mechanical product with artificial intelligence, it should not have this reaction, but if it is a silicon-based life, it is not too afraid of oxygen and water.

He rubbed his little head and said lightly, "Help me find out if there are other life forms within a radius of five kilometers." ”

"Twitter"

The two players watched its baby-like body, swaying away in the air, and didn't ask.

After waiting quietly for ten minutes, Ji Gu flew back lightly and hovered in front of Shen Fei.

"Twitter"

Shen Fei took out a new mobile phone without a card and asked Jigu, "Have you gained anything?" ”

The phone "ding-dong" sounded, and a picture was received.

The image shows a browser web page with a few large words in the middle: "404 Not Found"

He understood that it meant that it had not discovered the existence of other life, and rubbed its little head: "It's hard work." ”

"Twitter"

Shen Fei proposed that there would be no more vigil tonight, and that Ji Gu be in charge of vigilance, and that he might face some dangers tomorrow, and let the three of them rest well today would be conducive to tomorrow's performance.

In fact, Shen Fei thought that with his perception, even if he fell asleep at night, he would not be unaware of the danger when it approached.

Pale and waited and looked at Shen Fei with resentment, is it because it is your turn to be on duty at night, so you said that? Although he thought so in his heart, he also understood the overall situation and agreed to the proposal.

Forty-four thought about it for a while and agreed, but he would make traps, so he would set up some warning traps on the periphery.

The three of them reached a consensus, and it was settled, Forty-four went out to set traps around, while Shen Fei looked at his back and thought.

Nothing was said all night.

On the morning of February 1, a group of 12 people struggled to move forward against the wind and snow.

Everyone walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, holding trekking poles with both hands, and participating in the force of both arms when walking, which saved more physical strength.

At this time, it has officially entered the stage of climbing, and it is necessary to follow the principle of walking the beam without going to the ditch, walking vertically and not horizontally, and taking a big stride, with both feet diverging, which is more labor-saving and stable.

Due to the bad weather and the heavy wind and snow, it was difficult for everyone to discern the direction, and the distance they had walked in the morning was only one mile, and the team gradually became a little frustrated and impatient.

During the break, some team members proposed to put down some more luggage to reduce some of the burden, so at noon, they found a conspicuous place and placed some of their luggage on the wooden board.

When they set off in the afternoon, the crowd was not in a good state, but according to the itinerary, they had to move.

The wind whistled through the mountains, rolling the sky full of snowflakes, Shen Fei took out a balloon from the system backpack, took a deep breath, and blew it up.

Holding a bulging balloon next to his ear, he carefully discerned the movement around him.

This simple method allows people to hear some slightly high-frequency infrasound waves.

After careful discernment, there was indeed infrasound interference brought by Carmenvortex Street here, but it was intermittent and not high in intensity, which was not enough to affect everyone.

With the force of his hand, he popped the balloon, and with a "bang", it didn't sound at all, and was drowned in the howling wind.

He took out some colored paper and gold dust from the system backpack and threw them into the air, watching them be swept away by the wind, his mouth constantly cheering.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't understand it, and some of the team members suspected that the high-intensity rush made Shen Fei's spirit abnormal.

Dhatrov walked to Shen Fei's side and asked with concern, "Friend, are you okay?" ”

This is a mountaineering challenge, not a circus performance, playing balloons and throwing colored paper, what kind of trouble is going to be?

Shen Fei laughed and said loudly: "It's okay, I remembered some happy things, my wife told me that she likes the colorful paper scattered in the sky when she got married, so I always carry some with me." ”

Gatlov looked at Shen Fei with a complicated expression, feeling a little sad for him, was it really insane?

He remembered that when he talked to Shen Fei before, Shen Fei said that he was single.

Seeing that Shen Fei was just looking at the colored paper that was blown away by the wind, and there was no other abnormal behavior, Gatlov breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to wait for the rest time to talk to Shen Fei and help him relieve some of the pressure.

Forty-Four also stared at the flying colored paper and gold dust, watching their trajectory in the air to see if it matched the cyclone of Carmen Vortex Street, until he was obscured by the wind and snow, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
