Chapter 179: A Fresh Rut

This valley is very flat, Lao Liu's Xiaolong and Shi Qiang's Pajero are about three kilometers apart from each other, and they march from south to north side by side, so that this valley can be searched very well.

It's a real no-man's land, so you can see a lot of wildlife in the valley.

Needless to say, wild yaks, a herd of cattle can be seen not long away, and Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan wild asses, argali, and rock sheep can also be seen.

Speaking of wild yaks, in fact, the number of real wild yaks is not so much, and most of the wild yaks they saw along the way were some domestic yaks that ran into the wilderness and eventually evolved into wild yaks.

Tibetan compatriots, especially the Tibetan herdsmen in northern Tibet, are not so meticulous in raising cattle, and many yaks are simply free-ranged in the wild, and even cattle pens are not built, and some yaks can even stay outside for a year or two......

In such a situation, it is inevitable that there will be yaks that run to the countryside and cannot find their way home. This kind of yak will become a wild yak after a long time.

Because the terrain is open and flat, the speed is not fast, and the second gear is enough, so Lao Liu handed over the driving matter to Chu Qian.

There's no better place for a beginner female driver to practice driving. If you look at the past here, there is nothing for a few kilometers, you can just drive, even if you step on the accelerator in the tank, nothing will happen.

Chu Qian is very happy to do this kind of work.

Lao Liu put on a cold-proof suit, a jacket, a hat, sunglasses, gloves, holsters and other equipment, and climbed directly to the roof of the car to stare at the dumplings.

This is the first time that the dumpling has soared so freely, so it seems quite excited, and dives several times in a row, as if to catch its prey, but unfortunately, the prey here is very alert, far from being comparable to the sheep in the pasture. Therefore, the hunting skills have not yet been practiced to the dumplings of MAX, and several attempts to catch the prey have not been successful.

Lao Liu didn't stop the dumplings from doing this, this is the real hunting, and this can really exercise the hunting ability of the dumplings.

It's not that Lao Liu is idle and has nothing to do, it's really the kind of work of search and rescue, you can't be in a hurry if you want to.

Without definite coordinates, you can only search aimlessly within the general range of guesses. Found it, hello I hello everyone, I can't find it, that's no way at all.

No one's to blame. Can you blame these search and rescue team members for not doing their best?

That's pure!

Like Lao Liu, Li Junyi, and Mi Feng, who traveled more than a thousand miles to come here for free search and rescue, can you say that they are at fault?

Even if you give money, who is willing to go up to this forbidden area at an altitude of more than 5,000 and risk your life to save you?

Do you have a big face?

Therefore, no one can be blamed for this kind of thing, and if you want to blame, you can only blame those who don't know whether to live or die.

It's really a joke about hurting your own life.

Although the search and rescue operation is a very boring business, it is not bad here. Less than three kilometers to the west is the famous Purugangri Glacier, and although there is no way to go up to the glacier, it is extremely rare to see the glacier of the world's third largest continent from this distance.

The huge glacier was like a huge white hat upside down on the ground, facing the edge of Lao Liu's side, extending one ice tongue after another. Traces of the river channel can be seen at the end of almost every glacier tongue.

These rivers are washed out by meltwater from the melting glaciers in the summer.

The Prugangri Glacier is the main source of water for several large lakes in the surrounding area. The main sources of water from Lingge Tso and Amco in the west, Dogtso Tsoren, the largest lake in northern Tibet in the northeast, Dorsuo Dongcuo in the southeast, and the United States and Japan all come from this huge glacier.

It's just that now the cold is unbearable, and those rivers have long been out of water, and even the rivers that collect into the valleys have dried up.

Now Lao Liu, they are actually walking along the river......

Shortly before noon, the valley searched about half of the area, and the dumplings in the sky found no clues, and the people on the earth also found no clues.

After contacting Ensign Zhang through a satellite phone, the convoy that searched north of Shuanghu today also found no clues.

Under such circumstances, Lao Liu and his group of seven could only start to set up camp and prepare for lunch.

I brought an outdoor gas stove in the car, and I also brought a lot of ingredients and everything. Lao Liu's car can put a lot of things on the roof.

In addition to these things, each car also had a drum of one hundred liters of oil, which was given by Second Lieutenant Zhang before the morning departure. Because the search and rescue plan is to search and rescue for three days in a row, in order to ensure that the fuel is sufficient, a car carries a full oil drum.

The reason why it is a three-day search and rescue is mainly because at this altitude and at this temperature, if you can't find anyone for three days, then you basically don't need to look for it.

In such a natural environment, there is little chance that these people will survive three days.

After all, in addition to the natural environment, there are also a lot of wild wolves here, and if it weren't for the brown bears hibernating now, the possibility of them encountering bears is not low!

This is the Tanggula Mountains!

That's right, the world's largest land glacier, the Prugangeri Glacier, is located in the Tanggula Mountains, and about 150 kilometers further east of the Pruogangri Glacier is the famous Gradandon!

Strictly speaking, the natural environment here is even worse than that of Hoh Xil!

Looking at the satellite map combined with GPS, they found that it was still close to twenty kilometers from the northernmost point of the valley, and they hurriedly ate their meals, and continued to search after picking up.

It took about two hours for the two cars to reach the northernmost point of the valley, but found nothing. It has crossed the Pruogangri Glacier and is located to the northeast of the Pruogangri Glacier.

I used a satellite phone to contact Ensign Zhang, and there was also nothing to be found, and Lao Liu was about to return, when he heard Chu Qian take Apaid and say: "Liu Moang, look at this map, it seems that there is a valley on the north side of this valley, but I don't know if we can go through this valley mouth." ”

Hearing Chu Qian's words, Lao Liu took over and adjusted the satellite map to the contour mode, so that he could clearly see that there was really a valley mouth about one and a half kilometers wide on the north side of this valley.

Just to get to the valley from here, you have to climb over the "hills" in front of you.

It is said to be a hill, but in fact, the altitude is more than 5,002, but because the relative height of this mountain is only 1,200 meters, and the slope is relatively gentle, it looks like a hill.

Shi Qiang and Liu Ruoying came over, and Liu Ruoying asked, "What new discoveries have you made?"

Since Lao Liu made an accurate judgment in the early morning, he has become the leader of this search and rescue team, even if Shi Qiang and Liu Ruoying are the executive committee members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Sunshine City, they are willing to listen to this young man.

Lao Liu handed Apade over, pointed to the map and said: "Sister Ying, Qianqian found that there is a large valley in the north of this valley, she wonders if those people ran over there? After all, when I received a distress call from those people early yesterday morning, those people just said that they had passed by a big lake, and the place where they were trapped was surrounded by snow-capped mountains, so I think the place Qianqian said also has a high possibility." ”

The valley pointed out by Chu Qian is directly north of the Puruogangri Glacier, which is an oval valley about 20 kilometers long and almost 10 kilometers wide at its widest point, and less than 20 kilometers to the south of the valley is Puruogangri, which is more than 6,000 meters above sea level, and the other three directions are also high mountains with an altitude of more than 5,004 meters.

Liu Ruoying looked at the map and finally nodded, turned her head to Shi Qiang and said, "Brother Shi, I think Qianqian's analysis is very reasonable. You look at these contour lines, it's hard to stop a good off-road vehicle. Those seven people seem to be driving two big Gs, right?"

Shi Qiang nodded.

"Then why don't we go over and have a look?" asked Rene Liu.

Lao Liu raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's half past four in the afternoon, and the sunset time here is about seven o'clock, if it goes well, it's no problem for us to get to that valley." Let's go over there. ”

Lao Liu said, opened the car door and took out a satellite phone, and reported to Ensign Zhang about the situation where he was about to explore the valley in the north.

After all, the valley north of the Purugangri Glacier was not in the search area, and now if they want to go there, they must report to the commander of the search and rescue operation, that is, Second Lieutenant Zhang.

Again, the rules can't be messed up.

Regarding Lao Liu's suggestion, Second Lieutenant Zhang agreed directly without hesitation. Now that they have come out to search, as long as it is possible for those seven people to go, they will search again.

The group got into the car, Lao Liu made a few gestures to the dumplings in the sky, and then the car drove north.

There are no roads at all, but both cars are very good off-road cars, so it's no problem to run on this kind of road.

Especially Lao Liu's Thunder Dragon, which weighs more than three and a half tons, is best to be a pathfinder in front.

This hill is supposed to be the watershed of the water sources of Doggcuo and Dolsokoncuo, which can be clearly seen from the course of the river on the ground.

There are still a few puddles in some of the rivers, but the water in them has long since been frozen into a lump. The Thunder's 335 off-road tires pressed against this kind of ground without any sense of hindrance, and it could also press a rut for the Pajero in the back.

But after all, it is an unfamiliar place, Lao Liu drove more carefully, from the 15-kilometer road from the hills to the valley mouth of the valley less than one and a half kilometers wide in the north, the two cars were stunned for an hour.

But fortunately, there were no accidents on the road, that is, the water temperature in Pajero was a little high, and the pot was almost boiled.

The altitude here is higher than that of the Nagenla Pass, and if you don't pay attention to the car, you will turn on the pot......

When he arrived at the mouth of the valley, Lao Liu's eyes were suddenly attracted by some traces on the ground.

After getting out of the car, the group walked over and found some clear and messy ruts on the ground, indicating that the vehicle that caused the ruts seemed to have turned around here, and had made a U-turn more than once, as the ruts on the road were obvious.

Several people had smiles on their faces.

In this kind of ghost place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs, except for the seven dead gourd babies, who can leave such fresh ruts here?

PS: Bow and thank the big guy for the reward of "Scar My Heart" again!
