The route of this event is carefully planned.

As Lao Zhou said, the route does partially coincide with the famous hiking route "Aotai Line".

On the Qinling Mountains, there is a special route, which runs through the main peaks of the Qinling Mountains and Taibai Mountain, and is also the highest section of the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains, which is called the "Aotai Line" by outdoor enthusiasts, and the hiking through the Aotai Line is also known as the "Adventure of Walking on the Chinese Dragon's Back".

The Aotai Line, with its changeable climate and complex road conditions, has to climb over 17 mountains with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters along the way, and most of them are uninhabited areas, so it is impossible to get supplies, let alone seek rescue.

In recent years, accidents have occurred frequently, so this line is also known as the "death line" and "murder line", and it is indeed a hiking route with the largest number of missing and dead people in the country, and is even listed as a forbidden area.

Winter traversal may encounter harsher climatic conditions such as blizzards, white hairy winds, and cold waves.

Even in normal weather, snow can reach knee-deep and waist-deep on many stretches of road.

Even experienced outdoor teams don't dare to say that they succeed every time they cross.

According to Lao Zhou, he personally led the team in the spring and summer, and on the premise that the team members were all senior travelers, they could cross the "Aotai" in five days and successfully arrive at the main peak of Taibai Mountain-Baxiantai.

It's almost winter, and if you want to travel through the past, you have to start at least ten days.

Therefore, the design of the route of the Institute of Ancient Studies this time is obviously not to go through Aotai, after all, most of these people do not have the ability to survive outdoors.

And they broadcast the whole event live, once they reach the high altitude area, there is no signal, so that every day should not be called the ground is not working, in case something really happens, you have to go around without eating.

"Let me remind you again, let's go to Taibai first, then hike up Ao Mountain, and after arriving near Yaowang Temple, turn back the same way.

In situ trimming, the next day, climb the main peak of the Qinling Mountains Taibai Mountain, arrive at the 'round sky', and then hike to the direction of 'Daye Hai', that night we will be stationed on the mountain for one night, the next day and then return to the 'round sky' to take the cableway down the mountain, back to Xijing, the whole hiking trip is over, this outdoor hiking activity, by our senior outdoor expert Lao Zhou and his team."

Hearing this, Lin Yi directly turned off the voice message sent in the group.

"Aotai Line, only take the two sections with the lowest risk, don't go in the middle, sway around and go through the motions, it's over?"

Wang Qiang held on to the steering wheel and complained.

"Didn't Sister Yan say it a long time ago, don't get your hopes up."

"Lao Lin, what do you say they can do with this sightseeing route?"

Lin Yi did not immediately answer Wang Qiang's question, but turned on the mobile phone screen again and retrieved the activity roadmap.

Judging from the satellite image, the Aotai line is the part covered by the snow line of the Qinling Mountains, which resembles a sinuous five-clawed dragon, and each branch is like a dragon's claw.

Moreover, Taibai Mountain is the highest peak east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Kunlun Mountains, which is where the dragon's head in the picture is located.

This kind of terrain doesn't need to be seen at all, it is an absolute feng shui treasure.

"The first stage of the route, from the starting point of the hike into the mountain - the nursery all the way up to the warning sign of the nature reserve, the distance is about 10 kilometers, the cumulative climbing height is more than 1,700 meters, basically reaching the limit of non-professionals.

Moreover, after passing this warning sign, the signal will be completely lost. ”

Bai Lu analyzed.

"Taibai Mountain is a scenic spot, and they don't have a chance to start.

This section of Aoshan, especially the turnaround point, is most likely the place where they will implement their plan, and once we enter Aoshan, we must be vigilant! ”

In the "Sugar Four Corners" team, Wang Qiang and Bai Lu are relatively familiar with this kind of snowy environment with high posters.

One is because I served on the plateau back then, and I have long seen the power of this landform.

The other is an outdoor enthusiast who used to go skiing in the Alps in time for the European snow season.

Although Lin Yi has not been exposed to this kind of environment much, his physical fitness is here, and there is no big problem.

Even Wukong grew up from the Kunlun Mountains.

Only Qian Sheng is a raw melon egg, and he has been frozen out of internal injuries, this time is not a big test for him.

In the hotel parking lot, the "four beams and eight pillars" under Lao Zhou's hands have been counted.

exchanged a few words of greetings, and Lao Zhou took them and everyone in the company to introduce them one by one.

They all looked dressed as trekking backpackers, but their faces deceived others, but they couldn't deceive Wang Qiang's eyes.

As soon as he finished greeting them, Wang Qiang had already made up his mind:

"Okay, don't look at it, none of these people who are good at stubble, and they are all a little 'prickly', this time it's a tough battle!"

Lin Yi stepped forward to call Bai Lu over and whispered a few words in her ear:

"You go and tell Sister Yan, as long as you enter Aoshan, let her follow us, don't fall behind."

Bai Lu nodded and went to find Yao Yiyan.

"Big brother, do you think these people will have 'ringers' on them?"

"It's hard to say, they definitely don't have it now, they have to go through the sentry post before taking the road into the mountain, they don't have the courage to fight with the soldiers, it is estimated that the things have been hidden by them a long time ago, just keep an eye on the road!"

The convoy assembled again and drove to Taibai County.

Taibai County, originally a small county town in the Chencang area, is located at the foot of Taibai Mountain, and has gradually developed into a tourist resort area over the years.

Arriving at the destination, Lao Zhou's brothers began to distribute equipment to everyone.

These were all provided by the sponsors, and everyone's measurements were collected in advance, everything was put in order, and the team began to march towards Aoshan.

With the formalities of the Institute of Ancient Studies and the director of the management, their group successfully passed the checkpoint and directly entered the climbing path.

At first, when I was at a low altitude, I talked and laughed along the way, the live broadcast of the live broadcast, and the taking of pictures that should be taken.

As the initiators of the event, Guan Wentu and Hu Xiaoliang followed closely behind Lao Zhou, who opened the way in front of him, and the team he led.

Through the mobile phone live broadcast room, relevant science popularization was carried out to netizens who paid attention to this event.

Lin Yi and Yao Yiyan walked at the back of the team.

At this time, everyone's physical strength was still abundant, and the climbing speed was very fast, and when the vanguard slowly approached the snowy area, the marching speed slowed down significantly.

The path up the hill has only one winding path, and once you can't walk in front, you will "press the car" behind.

Bai Lu also took this opportunity to have a good chat with Yao Yiyan.

"Sister Yan, why did you choose to come to this kind of place for investigation? Even if you are an ancient race, you wouldn't choose to live on such a mountain, right? ”

"How to say, from a geological point of view, 600 million years ago, there was still an ocean here, when the ground was sinking here, the sea water was deepening, the marine sediments were developing, limestone, dolomite, etc., and there were occasional sporadic magma eruptions on the seabed. During the Caledonian movement 400 million years ago, it rose and gradually folded into a mountain, forming Mount Taibai.

Therefore, you can often find some fossils of ancient creatures here, as for ancient humans, they will definitely not choose to settle in such a high-altitude area, and the reason why we followed the rest of the Institute of Paleopathology to investigate here was because the 'snowman' was found here. ”

"Snowman?"

"That's right, it's the snowman, according to the information revealed to the media by the residents here, they have seen the snowman more than once, more than one person, and we came here for this thing."

In the eighties and nineties, when mobile phones did not have the function of taking pictures, there was a craze for "looking for wild people" across the country.

The most famous is Shennongjia in Jingzhou, which has been circulated countless versions of "wild men".

There have also been people who have claimed to have photographed "wild men", but in the end they have all been proven to be either fakes or photographed primates in the mountains.

Only in the area of Taibai Mountain, many people have proved that they have seen the existence of the "snowman" with their own eyes.

They didn't know each other, they didn't even live together, but their descriptions were strikingly consistent.

The body is more than two meters tall, covered with white hair, not afraid of the cold, and bloodthirsty by nature, and has a strong aggressiveness.

"Isn't this just a dumpling?"

Halfway through Wang Qiang's words, he realized that he had broken his promise, and swallowed the second half of the sentence raw.

"Fatty, what do you want to say? Slurred? ”

Yao Yiyan turned his head and glanced at Wang Qiang.

"I mean, isn't this the 'mountain snowman' that is always mentioned?"

"Isn't that what we're talking about now? God babble, where did I just say? ”

"Characteristics of the Snowman"

Wang Qiang reminded beside him.

"Ah yes, these people, the caliber is surprisingly consistent, and they all say almost exactly the same, and then we came again and again, and then followed the national mountaineering team, crossed the 'Aotai Line' four times together, and walked back and forth twice, which was really a thrill, and I was stunned that I didn't even see the face of the snowman.

Later, the heat slowly went down, and our side was not well funded, so the investigation of this piece was basically shelved.

However, Lao Guan's brain is still alive, as soon as he said what he was going to do here to find the footprints of ancient humans, those who paid attention to the Taibai Mountain Yeti incident back then shook out all those Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, and they were all on the hot search, and now, the popularity of our unit's live broadcast room is not lower than yours.

Hey, I said the front, can you move? It's been a long time since I pressed it back. ”

She is really a man with a temper, straight talking, dry temperament, and quick temper.

The shouting people have already rushed to the front.

When he walked away, Wang Qiang said what he hadn't said just now.

"Listening to the description of this snowman, doesn't it sound like a particularly white-haired old zongzi? Is this place so evil? Running all over the mountain? ”

"Don't make a fuss, don't say that this 'snowman' is not white-haired, even if it is white-haired, our black donkey's hooves are enough, so that the girl can enjoy it once."

"In fact, there have been legends of 'snowmen' in many places abroad, but in the end they have been confirmed to be rumors or misunderstandings, including monkeys with albinism, brown bears with mutated hair, and homeless homeless people.

In conclusion, the probability of a wild man is minimal. ”

After they finished discussing here, the large army in front had already left them some distance behind, and Yao Yiyan was standing on a high place and beckoning to them.

Several people hurriedly followed.

After nearly six hours of climbing from the nursery, they could not find the road above the snow line, and the slower they walked, until they reached the warning sign and it was almost afternoon.

Along the way, Guan Wentu and Teacher Xiaoliang interacted relatively more, and Lao Zhou spent the rest of his time flirting with coffee cats in addition to chatting about relevant outdoor knowledge.

Lin Yi and the others have also been invited by Guan Wentu many times to connect with the microphone and chat a few words together.

"This way with Mr. Xiaoliang and Consultant Lin, Captain Zhou, Coffee Cat chatted very happily, everyone has worked hard all the way, here, is the warning sign set up by Taibai Mountain Nature Reserve.

Even if our trip for today is over, you can take photos here, rest in place for half an hour, eat something and return the same way, before dark, down to the bottom of the mountain.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, our live broadcast has come to an end for the time being, thank you for your gifts, and welcome everyone to continue to follow the official account of our Institute of Paleontology. ”

Seeing that they had reached their destination, Lin Yi and the others also stared at Lao Zhou's men and horses all the way, but they still didn't find anything unusual.

When Lin Yi was puzzled, Lao Zhou ran around with the coffee cat to take pictures, and the two slowly approached the cabin behind the warning sign.

"This old thing, can't wait, what's the matter? Ready for a field battle? ”

"No, there seems to be a situation in that house!"

When Lin Yi was looking intently, the coffee cat who walked into the cabin to take pictures suddenly let out a terrible scream.

"Ahh

Immediately after that, I saw her rushing out of the house with her head in her hands.

"What's going on?"

Guan Wentu and Lao Zhou's other brothers rushed over as soon as possible.

Lin Yi and the others followed closely and followed.

When he stood in the small wooden house and looked inside, he saw Lao Zhou standing there with a pale face, and his mobile phone was about to be crushed by him.

This hut was originally a temporary resting place for the rangers who used to patrol the mountains.

When the weather turned cold, he rarely came.

It is a makeshift camp for hikers, who tend to take a break before continuing their journey deeper into the Ao Mountains.

So there are often people in the house who leave some supplies, meals, and even warm clothes and the like.

But at this time, everything in front of him has made everyone look stupid.

Even people like Lin Yi, who are used to seeing big scenes, are beginning to tumble in their stomachs at this moment.

The simple furnishings in the house were turned over in a mess, and the wooden walls around it were covered with blood.

Stuff like intestines and stomachs were thrown everywhere, and some were even thrown up and hung on the beams of the house.

The two eviscerated corpses were torn in half, except for the missing heart.

One of them was cut directly between his legs, and the fear of death was indescribable.

When ordinary people see this scene, their normal reaction is to cry and shout and rush away like a coffee cat, and the blow and trauma in their hearts will definitely not be able to recover for a while.

Even Mr. Hu Xiaoliang, such a staunch materialist, now runs away with his mouth and nose covered.

Only Lao Zhou, as well as his brothers, stood in place, watching fixedly.

"Boss, these two seem to be. It's Haruko and the second donkey. ”

"I know! The surname is in charge, you'd better explain this matter to Lao Tzu! Who the did this? ”

The old man turned his head, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he looked at Guan Wentu viciously. (End of chapter)
