The Xing'an Mountains area is particularly beautiful at night. Feng Yu and the others have already reached the Xing'an Mountains. To the east is the Lesser Khingan Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles. To the northwest is the Soviet Union across the river. They came from the Gobi Desert and are at the most remote location of Hulun Lake.
We have traveled a long way without realizing it.
With overlapping mountains and vast forests, the entire Xing'an Mountains region is vast and rough. Compared with the heavy artillery fire from the outside world, this place can be called a pure land world.
The final place they want to go is in the hinterland of the northernmost ridge area of Xing'an Mountains.
The old man calling the mountain is really a living map in the snowy mountains. In the Xing'an Mountains, the temperature is below zero all year round, and the lowest can reach more than 50 degrees below zero. The vegetation coverage here can reach 95%. It is a fundamental place.
At first glance, the trees on the top of the deserted virgin snow forest are more imposing than the mountains.
The cave led by the old man called the mountain is not big, just enough for a place to rest. The inside of the cave goes straight to the ground. The old man called the mountain said that there is an underground hot spring in the depths, but the way down is extremely difficult. They will spend the night here.
, we have to continue our journey tomorrow, there is no need to go down.
The temperature inside the cave was obviously much higher than outside. I wonder if it was because of the hot spring underneath. The old man called the mountain expertly lit a fire and cooked hot food for several people to share. The conditions in this place are not as good as outside.
The load you can carry is limited. If you bring too little, you will be afraid of not being enough. If you bring too much, it will increase the physical energy consumption of the person. Except for the necessary items, save everything else when you can.
For example, in addition to things like lighting and food, Zhang Xiuxian also brought two pistols, a semi-automatic Soviet-style light gun and some bullets, and the old man called Shanshan brought pots and stove lamps for cooking.
He has rich experience and the most comprehensive tools. He knows best what things are useful and what things are useless. Just like guns, it is enough to carry one to warn grizzly bears and other wild creatures.
Zhang Xiuxian is a man who loves guns as much as his life. He wishes he could just pull up a cart of guns and go into the mountains to feel at ease. Old Man Shanshan only has the shotgun he carries with him, which is also a Soviet-style weapon and wears a high-power sight. In the words of Old Man Shanshan,
For example, in the snow-capped mountains, sometimes a gun may not be as useful as a torch, so the old man brought several bottles of kerosene with him. He knew the importance of fire.
In the most primitive forests, the role of fire is more and more obvious. The beginning of human civilization originated from fire. The use of fire is the biggest difference between humans and animals. The old man who called the mountain has been dealing with the Xing'an Mountains all his life, and no one is better than him.
I can understand this place.
A few people warmed themselves up by the fire to get rid of the cold on their bodies, while the old man who called the mountain sat at the entrance of the cave, looking outside from time to time and smoking his pipe.
Zhang Manyue leaned on the side and fell asleep. Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian chatted for a few words before falling asleep directly. They were indeed very tired after walking for a day.
Feng Yu didn't know how long he slept, but he felt that the sleep behind him was getting colder and colder. Not long after, he heard the call of Old Man Shan.
"Wake up, wake up, let's get going, the white storm is coming."
After the old man shouted a few times, Feng Yu heard Zhang Xiuxian's curse, "I rely on her grandma."
Feng Yu woke up immediately and found that the wind was blowing outside the cave. The sound of the wind was like the howling of thousands of ghosts. It was blowing outside and made people feel very scared.
Zhang Manyue and Zhang Xiuxian stood behind Old Man Shoushan, who had packed his things and was about to leave.
Zhang Xiuxian scolded Feng Yu, "I said, you really slept like a ****, the wind has been blowing outside for most of the night, don't sue me, you didn't listen at all?"
Feng Yu walked over and took a look. The temperature was already very low. He asked the old man to put out the fire and help a few people pack their things.
It's windy and snowy outside, and the northwest wind blows non-stop, carrying a large number of snowflakes blown down from the trees. Once it reaches a large scale, a snowstorm can form inside. This is a scene that can only be seen in special places.
.
The old man who called the mountain urged a few people, "No, let's get out quickly. The white storm is ahead of schedule. If we can't leave here before the white storm forms, we will be trapped in the cave. Then it will be terrible."
.”
Feng Yu didn't dare to hesitate. In this Xing'an Mountains, everything still had to be arranged by the old man from Shanshan.
It only took less than three minutes for everything to be packed up. The old man called Shanshan looked very anxious. He pulled the felt hat on his head tightly and tied ropes around the waists of the three of them, because
The wind and snow outside have started blowing, making it very inconvenient to talk and communicate. This is done firstly to ensure that we don't fall behind, and secondly, we can pull the rope to communicate with each other if there is any situation.
Feng Yu tightened his clothes. It had been less than five minutes since he woke up, and he was still in a dazed state. However, he saw the old man Shanshan took the lead and walked out of the cave, drowning in the howling wind and snow.
among.
Feng Yu thought to himself, could he be in such a hurry? According to the old man from Shanshan, he wanted to rush out in the wind and snow. He didn't bother to say anything, and saw Zhang Xiuxian pulled by the rope.
He walked out of the cave, Feng Yu followed closely, and Zhang Manyue was at the back.
At this time, Feng Yu looked at the time, it was four twenty in the morning.
The wind and snow outside were much louder than the sound. The howling coldness filled his whole body the moment he walked in. The wind and snow filled Feng Yu's ears and nose all at once. If it weren't for the hat,
It's so tight that the snow will probably fill it up in just a few strokes.
Feng Yu couldn't see anything at all. It was still dark, and there was a heavy snowstorm outside, so the visibility was extremely low. The direction of his walking depended entirely on the connecting rope. In such extreme weather,
Traveling is undoubtedly very difficult.
In the vast sea of snow in the Xing'an Mountains, coupled with the huge strong wind, the scale of the snowstorm has basically begun to take shape. Feng Yu finally knew why the old man called Shanshan was so anxious to ask a few people to leave.
Although it was dark all around, in the darkness, a fierce storm was forming, and the screams passed by the wind became louder and louder each time. I am afraid that it won't be long before a bigger snowstorm hits here.
Feng Yu's goggles were covered with wind and snow, and his face was hurt by the wind and snow. He opened his mouth slightly, and the cold wind rushed from his mouth into his stomach. A blast of cold air that penetrated his heart and lungs.
Wandering around is quite unpleasant.
Everyone kept walking at an extremely slow speed in the wind and snowstorm, and the sky and the earth almost blended together. Feng Yu himself didn't know how long he had been walking. He only felt that his body was exhausted by the end, but looking at
The sky is still dark
Pitch black.
There were several times when Feng Yu almost stumbled to the ground, but he only managed to stand up again with Zhang Xiuxian pulling him from the front.
Walking in the snow is no better than walking on a flat road. The depth of the snow is shallow and deep, and coupled with the resistance of the wind, the difficulty can be imagined. Feng Yu knew that they had crossed the snow line, and the thickness of the snow was nearly 30 to 50 centimeters.
It was deep, but the storm was still going on, and it was probably still a long way for them to get out.
During this journey, the four of them had very little communication. They only used pulling ropes to transmit signals to each other. The more experienced people are in wilderness survival, the more they know the key role of conserving physical strength.
If the old man from Shanshan is still old enough to lead the way, how can the young people behind him admit defeat?
Probably after walking for a long time, Feng Yu felt that his body's physical strength had reached the limit of endurance, but the surroundings were still dark. When he was approaching despair, Feng Yu looked at the time on the watch. It was three quarters past three. This time made Feng Yu a little nervous.
Confused, when they came out, the time was clearly four-twenty. Feng Yu realized after thinking for a moment that it was not that his watch was broken, but that the time was now three o'clock in the afternoon and they had already walked for nearly twelve hours.
Hours.
The white storm blocked all the light. No wonder it was always dark all around. It is hard to imagine how dense the snowstorm must be in the sky where the air pressure is slightly higher, so that the snowstorm is so big that not even a little bit of sunlight can pass through.
When he came in, Feng Yu couldn't even think about that scene. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to leave Bai Storm as soon as possible.
Feng Yu pulled off the rope towards Zhang Xiuxian who was in front. He walked over and spoke in sign language, meaning that he wanted Zhang Xiuxian to ask the old man from the mountain how long it would take for them to get out.
Zhang Xiuxian's physical strength was obviously much better than Feng Yu's. He made an OK gesture and then went up to pull the old man along the rope. Feng Yu felt dizzy. He really couldn't walk at all.
Relying on the support of his willpower, I really don’t know where Zhang Xiuxian got so much energy. He actually gave Feng Yu the OK signal used by foreigners. Feng Yu casually said OK in response to Zhang Xiuxian and slowed down his pace.
After a while, Zhang Xiuxian's figure came closer. He was running towards Feng Yu. When Feng Yu saw this, he thought to himself, maybe he was about to go out ahead? He couldn't help but feel excited.
Zhang Xiuxian's face was obviously wrong. He opened his mouth to shout something to Feng Yu, but the sound of the wind and snow was too loud, completely covering up the original voice. Feng Yu could only hear a few words here and there, which were still vague.
Zhang Xiuxian seemed to be really anxious. He was talking and gesticulating. At this time, Zhang Manyue followed behind.
Feng Yu and Zhang Manyue did not know what Zhang Xiuxian was dancing about at first, but when Zhang Xiuxian pulled the rope connecting him and the old man Shoushan and put it in front of their eyes, the situation became clear instantly, and the atmosphere fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.
on the point.
The ropes connecting the four of them were about two meters apart. This was done to keep them together in the snow and wind, but the snowstorm in Xing'an Mountain was so powerful that Feng Yu had never seen it before, let alone two meters.
, even one meter away, you can only see the shadow of Xu Huang.
Zhang Xiuxian took the rope connecting him and the old man Shoushan, and found that the rope was broken. For some reason, the old man Shoushan had become separated from a few people in the white storm.
