Chapter 128 Ice Tallinn
It's past noon. Luo Ning drove to the hotel and gathered with Yu Xiangnan and Xiao Jinzi. After having some lunch, the four of them set off in the car.
Luo Ning drove all the way northwest along an icy path according to the road pointed on the map of Little Gold. This road is a shortcut carefully selected by Xiao Jinzi.
Gradan Dongxue Mountain belongs to the Tanggula Mountains and is the birthplace of the Yangtze River. The ice forest we are going to now is located in the southwest of Gladan. The name is Jiang Gudi Ru Glacier. Xiao Jinzi sat on the co-pilot to show Luo Ning the way.
The car went straight along the rugged path. Before long, Luo Ning sat in the car and saw the peak of Gladan Dongxue Mountain. The high peaks stretch for a hundred miles, and the roof is snowy and cold as clouds. Yu Xiangnan and Wang Dan sat in the car and enjoyed the scenery here, all saying that they suddenly had a feeling of being extremely cold.
Because the place they are going to is near the west of this peak. When the car approached the mountains, it suddenly changed its direction and went around the westward path.
The further west you go, the thinner the air becomes, and the temperature drops sharply. After about 40 minutes, Xiao Jinzi told them that this was already Jiang Gudi's boundary.
Luoning looked at Jiang Gendi in the distance like a glacier, and saw a white and flawless ice forest shining under the blue sky. Little gold told him that it was the ice Tallinn at the front of Jiang Gendi's glacier. The ice formed here for tens of millions of years is as high as dozens of meters, and the towering ice tower forms a unique landscape. And the glacier castle they are looking for is to first step through this ice forest, and then bypass a snowy mountain jungle, forming an unrivaled spectacle formed in a mountain pass somewhere on the mountainside - which is likely to be the glacier castle described by the enemy.
It is getting tighter and tighter from the glacier, and the car tires are clattered on the ground. Before long, the car drove to a low-lying place, and the tire fell into an ice trough and could no longer drive out.
Xiao Jinzi, Yu Xiangnan and Luo Ning got out of the car and pushed them, leaving only Wang Dan in charge of the steering wheel. The three tried their best to shout slogans to push the car out. Wang Dan stepped on the accelerator to the end, the hum of the car engine increased, and the thick exhaust pipe behind the car suddenly emitted black smoke, but the tires were still stuck in the smooth ice trough and slipped.
"I'm exhausted. No more push, no more. If you push it again, you will have no strength to climb the mountain." The altitude here is very high, the oxygen is thin, and the weather is cold. Yu Xiangnan is so tired that he is out of breath, dizzy and tinnitus. Luo Ning knew that Yu Xiangnan must have been overexercise and had a slight plateau reaction. If it is not handled well, it is likely to delay the trip because of him.
Wang Dan got out of the car and took out a pill of anti-anti-drug plateau Kang from the medicine box. Yu Xiangnan grabbed the box of capsules, tore open the packaged water without drinking it, and swallowed two directly. There are many kinds of anti-altitude reaction drugs, but only Gaokang general pharmacies can't buy them. Gao Jiang belongs to military supplies. It took a lot of effort to get a few boxes from a branch of the military region hospital.
Don't say it. The drugs in the military region really work. Not long after taking it to the south, the symptoms of high reaction improved significantly. In his words: the waist is not sore, the legs are not painful, the head is not stunned, and it is normal to walk.
Seeing that there is nothing serious in the south, as the team leader of this operation, Luo Ning announced: "abandon the car. Go on foot."
Everyone moved out all the supplies in the trunk together. Then put everything you can put on your body: mountaineering clothes, non-slip shoes, snow blind glasses, warm gloves, mountaineering picks... Then put light materials that are temporarily unusable into mountaineering backpacks: tents, compressed biscuits, solid fuel, sleeping bags... In addition, all large liaison equipment, command equipment, water and other heavy materials are pulled on a small pre-made sled.
The road ahead has entered nearly full ice. It's easy to slip when walking on it. At this time, the anti-skid military boots under the feet played an important role. Yu Xiangnan's happy appearance on the ice made this team of people look like saving people at all, but a little like a tour group for vacation.
has been passing through this flat layer of ice and snow. In front is the ice Tallinn. Standing at the end of the ice Tallinn and looking forward, I saw large and small ice towers standing in the cold wind, stretching halfway up the mountain without seeing the end.
"It's spectacular." The ice tower is all crystal clear. It is even more colorful under the sunlight. Yu Xiangnan pulled the sleigh full of supplies and looked at the monument-like ice towers, and couldn't help sighing.
Everyone present was shocked by this. Luo Ning sighed in his heart that the magic of nature could create such an exquisite beauty.
"All right. Let's keep moving forward." They didn't come here for sightseeing. Looking at the general distribution of the ice tower, Luo Ning ordered.
"Enter the ice Tallinn. It won't be as easy as on the plain ice. We must maintain a good formation." Little gold has lived on Kunlun Mountain for a long time. Although the snowy mountains there are not as harsh as here, they are almost the same. When he was in the army, he often participated in snow mountain climbing drills. Although Xiao Jinzi is not a professional mountaineer, his climbing skills have surpassed that of amateur climbers.
After saying that, the little gold adjusted the climbing stick to the appropriate length, checked the soles of the non-slip shoes, and rearranged the windproof clothing. Be the first to enter the vast ice Tallinn.
followed by Wang Dan. As a logistical support, Wang Dan also took out GPS satellite positioning to check after checking his shoes, hiking sticks and other equipment. She opened the host in her hand and adjusted the angle according to the strength of the received signal. Before long, four red dots appeared on the screen. These four red dots represent Xiao Jinzi, Luo Ning, Wang Dan and Yu Xiangnan.
En. It seems that satellite communication here is normal.
Wang Dan was relieved that the second one entered the icicle-line.
Luo Ning took a look at Yu Xiangnan: "Why don't you check your equipment quickly?" He reminded him that when he was heading south, he had begun to check whether there was anything abnormal in his clothes.
Yu Xiangnan curled his mouth, and Luo Ning saw that he seemed to be a little unhappy. After checking his equipment, Luo Ning turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?"
"Hmm. You all left as if you were fine. I don't know if there is a sled puller behind. That guy, I pulled so many supplies from there. Don't ask if you are tired or not, do you want to change shifts? That's good. They all left after checking one by one. Yu Xiangnan pointed from the position where the car was turned off and pointed all the way here. It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the failure to take the initiative to share his 'difficults'. He threw the rope holding the sleigh on the ground, and the child sat on the ground like a loser.
Luo Ning smiled and said to him, "Either go back or keep up." Then Ronin also entered the Ice Tallinn.
It's sad. Yu Xiangnan was blocked by Luo Ning and couldn't say a word. Hearing that everyone's footsteps were fading away, he only sat there and waited for a minute and saw that no one came back to help him pull the sleigh. So he got up, patted his buttocks and pulled the sled to follow: "Wait for me, wait for me."
"Have you checked your equipment?" Luo Ning, who was closest to him, asked with concern.
"Oh, there is no need to check. I believe in myself." Yu said carelessly to the south.
"That's what you said. I'm not responsible if something happens." Luo Ning joked.
Yu pulled the sleigh to the south, followed the end of the army, slowly shuttled through the ice Tallinn, and walked towards the mountain.
The ice tower in the ice Tallinn is very dense, three parts one, five steps a pile. Sometimes when you walk, you will suddenly find that a huge ice tower in front of you blocks the way forward. They had to withdraw the same way and re-select the intersection at the fork.
"It seems that we will walk through the maze again." Every time he goes the wrong way, Yu Xiangnan will scold the little gold who led the way. Little Jinzi pointed to his forehead with a climbing stick: "Where is so much nonsense. If you know the way, you can go ahead.
It's really hot. Not only did he work hard and throw it to himself, but he complained and was scolded. Yu Xiangnan, who is used to being a young master, used to be held and spoiled by everyone, but now it's really miserable. He felt like a slave to these three people. But this is also good. Sometimes the young master will get tired of doing it for a long time. It's also comfortable to find someone to scold.
Haha, this is not. I just pouted. Now he hums a little song again.
The road led by the little gold is not bad. The four of them climbed up several kilometers before they encountered a problem for the first time: a weathered gap in front of them. It is cut off halfway up the mountain. Not only did people go there, but it would be difficult to pull the sled over.
Yu Xiangnan pulled the sleigh to the front of the ditch and asked helplessly, "What should I do now? Otherwise, let's throw away this sleigh and these supplies. It's strangely tired."
It can be seen that Yu Xiangnan already hates this sleigh very much. I remember that before I came, the stubble monitor said that it was better to make a snow traffic pot. Yu Xiangnan originally wanted to play snowmobile. But everyone disagrees. Now, I found a sled without an engine as a means of transportation. The sled can't be used as a means of transportation, but it's annoying that the sleigh doesn't need to be pulled by dogs, horses, or mules, but by him. So he has long wanted to throw away this 'cums'.
"Bulls. Throw the sleigh and supplies. Where do you sleep? What do you eat? The vast snowy mountains will not starve to death, let alone save Xiuxiu. Since entering the ice Tallinn, Yu has been complaining to the south. Wang Dan has long been angry with his negative attitude: "Thanks to you, you are still a man, and you also said to conquer Mount Everest."
Wang Dan's words are still good. Yu Xiangnan immediately became like a different person: "Well, now, little gold, you go there first. Let's unload the supplies first, get the sled over them first, and then get the supplies one by one.
Luo Ning took a look at this gap. The wide part of this chasm is five meters, and the narrow part is also two meters. The worst thing is that this chasm is still on the slope at a 45-degree angle. The narrowest part of the chasm is even steeper. If you are a little careless, slide down, and the sharp ice cones under the chasm will wear you like kebabs.
Luo Ning hesitated. And Yu Xiangnan was excited: "Come on, let's do it from here." The boundary he chose was the most dangerous boundary observed by Luo Ning.
