Aksai Chin. This name is of Turkic origin, and in Chinese it means "China's White Rock Beach". The pronunciation of "Qin" comes from the transliteration of "Qin", the ancient Turkic name for China.
Aksai Chin is about 30,000 square kilometers in size and is a semi-enclosed intermountain basin. It is located between the Kunlun Mountains in Hotan, Xinjiang, and the Karakoram Mountains in neighboring Tibet. It has flat terrain, many rivers, and rich resources. The most rare thing is that it is here
There are several mountain passes leading to the Kashmir region, which has been a shortcut from Xinjiang to the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East since ancient times. The geographical location is very dangerous and has strategic advantages.
Decades ago, during the self-defense counterattack against India, a war broke out in this area. At that time, the People's Liberation Army drove the invaders back to their hometown. But later, these Asans did not know whether to live or die and tried to make a comeback. Now the entire Akko
In the Saichin area, there is still a small piece of territory near the Himalayas that is occupied by the invading army. However, the expensive and heavy military expenditures caused by greed every year are also a huge burden on the Asan country, so that they cannot free their hands and feet.
There has been some economic development. Even some people in Asan's country began to think that this was a conspiracy of the People's Liberation Army, deliberately throwing a piece of meat to seduce Asan to snatch it, and tied Asan to the chariot, unable to concentrate on the work.
national economy.
After the transport plane landed at its destination, with the cooperation of relevant departments, they rode the off-road vehicle equipped by the military and headed towards the destination. However, there were not many roads that the vehicle could pass, and it could only cover a certain distance.
The journey can only be completed by two legs.
In fact, riding an off-road vehicle in such a place where the plateau is deprived of oxygen, the temperature is low, and the mountains are rugged, in addition to saving time and enhancing mobility, is simply a torture. Along the way, the four tires of the off-road vehicle,
Basically, they didn't drive together on the ground completely, and it was bumpy all the way.
The steel-like soldiers of the 042 organization naturally did not take these bumps seriously. But it was a pain for academic members like Chen Ziyun. For example, the accompanying doctor - the famous veterinarian who treated Chen Ziyun
Tian Peng, before the car had driven twenty miles on the mountainous terrain, he vomited in confusion. Finally, he had someone stop the car, gave himself a shot of sedative, fastened his seat belt, and fell asleep all the way.
Compared to Tian Peng, Chen Ziyun's body was pretty good and he was not in such a miserable condition. But Wang Xiaowu beside him was even worse than Tian Peng, and he was unwilling to drug himself as cruelly as Tian Peng. In the end, he was left with nothing but retching.
Chen Ziyun was helpless and could only take care of his little assistant along the way. He did not want Wang Xiaowu to participate in such a dangerous task, but Wang Xiaowu had an irreplaceable side. That is, she had extremely great skills in the study of ancient characters.
A keen sense of touch. Even Chen Ziyun does not think he is as talented as Wang Xiaowu. The 042 organization is very good at scientific researchers who are proficient in ancient characters, and it does not mind adding one more place. So Wang Xiaowu was able to enter as Chen Ziyun's assistant.
among the team.
"It's getting dark. Let's go another fifteen kilometers and stop and set up camp." The sound of sinking sand came from the communicator.
The convoy was borrowed from the local garrison. It also borrowed two guides. The two guides are well-known scouts in the army. They are the most suitable for this kind of work. They are the drivers of the first two vehicles.
Chen Ziyun was in the car of one of the guides.
"What?" The guide heard the sound of sinking sand, frowned, and then said: "Sir, fifteen kilometers away is an open-air ridge, and it is close to the national border. I'm afraid it will alarm our neighbors."
"Not afraid." Shen Sha's voice was very calm. Mainly because this place is too far away from the destination, Shen Sha was so confident. He replied: "When you get to Snow Valley, you can go back and recover. The next work,
I don’t need you anymore.” Shen Sha didn’t want the local army to know the secrets of the 042 agency.
"But..." The guide wanted to say something more, but Shen Sha had already turned off the communicator.
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Ziyun couldn't help but ask when he heard the guide's tone seemed to be tense.
"Nothing." The guide glanced at Chen Ziyun and continued to focus on the road and driving. The guide's name is Zhou Nan. He is about 26 or 27 years old. However, after seven or eight years of exposure to the wind, rain, and sun on the plateau, he is older than his actual age.
He looked very calm and mature. Chen Ziyun knew that Zhou Nan was a squad leader of the mountain brigade and was extremely familiar with the terrain in this area.
Chen Ziyun didn't say anything and smiled softly. He was very polite to Zhou Nan along the way, so Zhou Nan had a good impression of him. After a while, Zhou Nan seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be reminding Chen Ziyun: "Move forward.
This area is the most taboo place for our reconnaissance company." Zhou Nan's emotions were somewhat complicated.
"Huh?" Chen Ziyun was curious about Zhou Nan's reaction.
"I have been to the place where the commander ordered us to camp." Zhou Nan's voice was a little low, and his expression began to be strange, as if he recalled something unbearable. After a while, he continued: "That place is a few kilometers further.
, is what our reconnaissance company privately calls the Valley of Death."
Chen Ziyun was slightly surprised and asked in confusion: "Is it dangerous there?"
"It's not just dangerous." Zhou Nan still firmly grasped the steering wheel with both hands. The off-road vehicle bumped up and down. "It's evil." Zhou Nan said: "We used to perform regular patrols there, so occasionally teammates would enter there by mistake.
.Comrades who accidentally enter the Valley of Death have no chance of survival. Even if they are nearby, that place will make people feel shuddering. You will always feel that something is watching and peeping from behind, until later.
, I realized that that feeling was not an illusion."
"Could it be that the enemies across the border are doing something?" Chen Ziyun said with a slight frown.
"No." Zhou Nan shook his head, pulled up one sleeve, revealing a terrifying big scar, and said, "I encountered a monster there. It attacked and killed two of my comrades in front of me.
It also left me with several big scars." When Zhou Nan recalled the past, his expression looked very painful.
"What kind of monster?" Chen Ziyun felt slightly terrified.
There was a strange look on Zhou Nan's face. It was obvious that this was also a problem that troubled him. He thought about it and said, "After I reported this matter, they told me that what I encountered might be a snowman."
Zhou Nan looked slightly sarcastic and said, "Snowman, who are you lying to?"
