"Hey, don't leave in a hurry. I still have some investigation matters to discuss with you... What are you looking for? Jiao Qiao is not at home. He went to inspect the Shenyang base. He just left in the afternoon."

Seeing that Zhou Yuan was about to leave, Lin Na quickly got up and chased to the door. It was almost three o'clock in the morning. You said you were happy and walked away. I drank half a pot of Yan tea and went back to sleep. Come on, no one is leaving. Come on, stay up until dawn and see you!

"Hey, Lan Yu'er is so skinny, how dare you lie to me! Call her in, I am too lazy to write, and ask her to record it for me!"

It's okay that Zhou Yuan didn't listen. When she heard that Jiao Qiao was not at home, she immediately thought of Lan Yu'er's words. You are confident, right? I don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes, so let me give you a taste of staying up late to take meeting minutes. Not a single word!

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells..."

Just as the judge was rummaging through boxes and boxes to search for suspicious persons within the control area, the delegation was waiting for news from Magpie, and Zhou Yuan was busy planning her visit, the source of all chaos, the incarnation of Justice Yoro, the herdsman Biges, and the refugee Avanti , the dead ghost Hong Tao also led the horse out of the Yining checkpoint in a leisurely manner, humming a ditty and walking slowly southward.

We spent the night at Fang Wenlin's house last night, focusing on asking about the situation of the Adjudicator, but the result was very unsatisfactory. Fang Wenlin had only heard of this secret organization, but didn't know the inside story. He had no idea when he was in the base. The Trappist Order will not have a judge.

However, Hong Tao is still very happy. As the saying goes, if the east is not bright, the west is bright. Although he did not ask for the judge's information, he got an unexpected surprise. It turns out that you can go from Yining to southern Xinjiang without detouring to Qiuci or Licheng. A small road can lead directly to WS County at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain.

Fang Wenlin didn't mean to give directions. He just heard that Hong Tao went to Licheng to pan for gold. The journey was so long that it took a month to get back and forth, so he casually revealed the past events he heard from people at the base.

When the Yining base was first established, they also gradually cleaned up surrounding towns like a rescue team, looking for more survivors while collecting living supplies.

At that time, the person who led the team to search everywhere was a Kazakh survivor, Camilla's father. He was born in Yining, went to school, worked and lived here, and was very familiar with the landscape and environment near the Ili Valley.

At the same time, he is also a geologist. Due to his work, he has followed the exploration team around for many years, and he has learned many small roads that even shepherds rarely touch.

In order to get in touch with the survivors in southern Xinjiang, he took three people over the mountains and successfully reached WS County through this small road. Six months later, he took three people from Baishui City, Kungang, Wensu, and Qiuci. Several hundred survivors crossed the Tianshan Mountains again along the southern section of the Duku Highway and returned to Yining.

It is precisely because of this feat that Camilla's father has a high reputation in the Yining base. Fang Wenlin and he are chess friends, both love to play chess, and they soon became friends.

During a casual chat while playing chess, Fang Wenlin asked Camilla's father what kind of road would be so difficult and dangerous, and four people died on the road. As a result, three people died on the road.

Camilla’s father said that this road is called the Shater Ancient Road. After crossing the Tianshan Mountains from the Shaite Ranch in ZS County, you can reach Pochengzi in WS County. The reason why it is called the ancient road means that this road is not newly opened, but should be from ancient times. There is.

Yes, it has a long history. It is said to be the most difficult ancient pass on the Silk Road. This difficulty is reflected in several aspects: first of all, it is high. It is over the Tianshan Mountains. The altitude is close to 4,000 meters. People are too sensitive to high mountains.

It was brushed off directly.

Secondly, the climate is changeable. The high-altitude areas of the Tianshan Mountains are covered with thick snow all year round, and the temperature is very low at night. Starting from the foot of the mountain, it is summer when you first climb the mountain, and it is spring and autumn when you reach the mountainside. When you reach the top of the mountain, snowflakes will fall, and you will wear sheepskin.

Even my coat is not warm. I am not in good health and I catch a cold every now and then, so I can quit.

Finally, the terrain is extremely complex. There are meadows, woods, canyons, rapids, Gobi, as well as snow caps, glaciers, and glaciers along the way. Especially the glaciers full of fissures are the most dangerous. The three people who traveled with Camilla’s father at that time

Among the companions, two of them lost their footing and fell into the bottomless ice crevice, leaving no trace of their bodies.

But the most troublesome thing is not the above three points. Since there are many canyons, rapids and glaciers on this road, apart from walking on two legs, no means of transportation can help, including horses.

That is to say, during the nearly 100 kilometers of mountain climbing, all food, clothing, and equipment had to be carried on your own. Think about it, just going up and down at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, you have to walk with heavy loads for several days, which is quite difficult.

Just imagine.

After talking about so many difficulties and obstacles, are there any advantages? There must be, otherwise why would Hong Tao enjoy himself secretly? There is only one advantage of this ancient road, and that is the short distance!

Driving from Yining to WS County, the distance is about 900 kilometers when the Duku Highway opens in summer and autumn; in winter and spring, you have to detour through Licheng, and the distance will increase to more than 1,200 kilometers. But if you take the Xiate Ancient Road,

It is only 300 kilometers from Yining, of which 200 kilometers are still connected by roads.

If it had been before the outbreak of the zombie disease, no matter how close the distance was, no one would have walked this ancient road except explorers. Who would be willing to trek hundreds of kilometers with baggage on their backs, and take great risks to cross the fast glaciers and climb

Crossing rugged ice crevices just to save some gas money and highway tolls.

But now and then, apart from large groups of survivors, there are also vehicles and motorcycles. Anyone who wants to go to southern Xinjiang has to be on his feet. At most, he can get a bicycle or a horse to travel. But not only do he have to pass through checkpoints on the way,

They also bear the risk of being robbed or even killed by refugees.

With this comparison, in the eyes of some people, such as Hong Tao, who are willing to take risks and have the capital to take risks, the ancient hiking trails are no longer waste, and they are of great use value.

There is another question. Since it is an ancient road with a long history, Camilla’s father must not be the only one to know about it. There are many locals and even survivors from ZS County in the Yining base. Wouldn’t they know? If they knew, redemption

Wouldn't the rebels set up roadblocks to prevent the rebels from sneaking over and causing damage?

In fact, Hong Tao also raised this very critical question. If the Redeemer has controlled or blocked the Xiate Ancient Road, it would really have no practical significance for him. He who takes such a big risk and narrowly escapes from death can still not escape from others' surveillance.

,Why bother.

But Fang Wenlin's answer rekindled Hong Tao's desire to investigate. The Redeemers didn't block this ancient road! It's not that they are stupid or ignorant, but they don't need to worry at all. The Xiate Ancient Road has long been blocked.

Naturally it was blocked.

Earthquake, the epicenter of the big earthquake a few years ago was at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and then this ancient road was blocked by a mountain collapse. In fact, for so many years, the resistance has never penetrated from the direction of the Xiate Ancient Road. Redemption
