When they heard this name, not only Wu Shushan but also He Shu looked over in surprise, "Why are you so judgmental?"
"Based on geography and reality."
Cheng Lin explained calmly: "We are still in Taklimakan. This group of people said before that if they want to escape from the country, they must go west. The shortest distance should be to go straight west, but since your company has received the news
, then as long as they are not stupid, they should have set up a checkpoint in the due west... Even if not, the danger still exists, and these people will most likely not take the risk."
After a pause, seeing that the two of them were listening attentively, Cheng Lin continued his analysis: "Then they have two choices, one is to go to the northwest corner, and the other is to the southwest corner. Bennett's pronunciation is more American, probably from the Federation.
People, the northwest corner beyond the national border is the territory of the Soviet Union, and as we all know, our two countries are currently allies. Once they enter the territory of the Soviet Union, the First Division should be able to continue cross-border arrests more easily, so the rest
If you choose only the southwest, you will inevitably enter the Pamir Plateau."
Cheng Lin's tone was slow, steady and clear, which made He Shu and Wu Shushan both surprised and nodded repeatedly.
"These people are indeed from the Federation. Your analysis... makes sense." He Shu confirmed this.
The short-haired girl Wu Shushan tilted her head slightly and looked at Cheng Lin curiously, feeling a little admiration for him.
Cheng Lin smiled: "Actually, this is not difficult to think about. You two are a little emotionally unstable now. As long as you calm down, you can easily think of this."
This is true, but now as "prisoners", how can the two of them be so calm?
It's not like Cheng Lin has so many powerful trump cards...
At this time, the spy's sneer suddenly came from in front of the metal partition, that is, from the car seat: "The analysis is quite clear, but what's the point? If it wasn't for safety reasons, you would have died in the wilderness long ago.
But it’s not too far off. This place is not far from the border. Once you cross the border, the three of you will die. Take the last moment to look at the sun."
After saying that, he turned around and ignored the three of them.
He Shu and Wu Shushan also fell silent and lost interest in talking. They just let the yellow sand under their feet quickly pull away amidst the roar of the engine.
…
…
In the next two days, everything went as Cheng Lin predicted. The off-road vehicle took advantage of the darkness and directly crossed the two projections, and then entered the real world.
Instead of taking the road, we drove along the desert to the Pamir Plateau in the southwest direction.
In order to ensure the exploration operation, the vehicle had sufficient fuel reserves, which made it easier for this group of people to escape at this time. The good performance of the off-road vehicle could get rid of dependence on the road, avoid densely populated areas, and also facilitate the avoidance of pursuit by the First Division.
However, this also inevitably slowed down the speed. The original journey of more than ten hours would take more than twice as long. However, Bennett seemed to be extremely afraid of Yisi. Between "time" and "concealment"
After some hesitation, I chose the latter.
They traveled day and night with almost no rest. Because they were in a hurry, the group had no time to abuse the prisoners. Therefore, although the three of them were tied up and in more difficult conditions, they did not suffer any unnecessary harm.
Of course there is no food.
Fortunately, with a practitioner's physique, even if he doesn't eat for a day or two, it won't be a big deal.
With these people watching, they had no chance to ask for help. After their energy was exhausted, they would either huddle together and fall asleep, and chat when they woke up.
In this way, the familiarity between the three people increased sharply.
Cheng Lin also found that He Shu was a pretty good person. Although his mind seemed not very flexible and he was a bit stubborn, he had a straightforward personality, didn't have so many thoughts, and was relatively easy to get along with.
As for Wu Shushan, she doesn't talk much, but is good at listening, and has a good personality.
In this way, after another day and night of wind and rain, they finally entered the Pamir and continued heading southwest.
After entering the plateau, the temperature begins to drop significantly.
Cheng Lin paid attention to some station signs and buildings that he occasionally passed by, and analyzed them against the map in his mind.
Fortunately, he had carefully studied the map as a scout before and had an understanding of the entire situation in the northwest corner of Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, at dawn the next day, Cheng Lin vaguely guessed the opponent's route.
Especially when the other party took the risk and stopped outside a town, he was even more certain of this.
…
"Mr. Bennett, we made some inquiries, and Terry seems to have figured out our plan. It is said that National Highway 314 has begun to be blocked, and there are traces of Terry."
early morning.
The bright red sun rises from the east, illuminating the earth clearly and brightly.
This place is no longer a barren desert, but a beautiful grassland, with a mirror-like lake shining in the distance, and even further, the pure white snow-capped mountains standing on the earth.
The spy had entered the town before, seemingly to inquire about information. He just came back and said solemnly.
Next to the car.
The three Federation monks fell silent after hearing this.
The other two people looked at Bennett, waiting for his decision.
Bennett, who was wearing a black leather jacket, was chewing the compressed energy bar he carried with him. He paused after hearing this, as if he was in a state of thought.
No one spoke for a while.
The spy hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Mr. Bennett, I think it is impossible for Terry to find us so quickly, otherwise they would have killed us long ago. The current blockade is more likely to block the entire area.
The main force of Trais will not be here. I think we can try to take this road and force a breakthrough. As long as we don't encounter the main force of Trais, we can definitely break out successfully with our strength."
Hearing this, another fourth-grade man jabbered a lot.
Cheng Lin didn't understand, so Han Lun translated it, which probably meant that he disagreed and thought the risk was too great.
In the end, it was Bennett who made the decision and made the plan: "We have successfully arrived here and cannot take any more risks. I have seen the map. In this way, we abandon the car and go directly over the snow-capped mountains! This is the safest way. The vast snow-capped mountains,
There is absolutely no way for Terry to set up defenses. As long as we successfully cross over, we will be very close to the national border."
The spy listened and argued for a few more words, but in the end he couldn't change Bennett's mind and had to give in. However, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with it. He even secretly scolded Bennett in Cantonese for a while, which made the three of Cheng and Lin quite confused.
Find it interesting.
First, I felt that their relationship was not harmonious.
Thinking about it, in a place like the Federation where the racial problem is so serious, a spy, as an authentic yellow person, probably does not have a high status and only exists as a "tool".
Secondly... I also feel deeply that this spy is indeed a talent.
I understand the Internet memes so well, but I can’t tell you that Mandarin and Cantonese are competing against each other... It’s a pity that such talents have been exploited by an enemy country. Cheng Lin is a bit regretful.
Bennett made up his mind, and a group of people immediately took action.
The route they wanted to take was to go directly over the "Muztagh" mountain, where they couldn't take a car and could only walk.
As the "Father of Icebergs", Muztagh is also one of the "Three Heroes of Kunlun". It is also a well-known snow mountain with an altitude of 7509 meters. It is surrounded by about 20 square kilometers of glaciers. It is also the most important glaciation in the entire basin.
One of the belts.
A group of climbers come here every year to take on the challenge, and with the nearby grasslands and abundant lakes, there are not many tourists coming and going.
In order to avoid being discovered by some mountaineers, Bennett asked the spies to purchase corresponding clothing, including Cheng Lin and the other three prisoners. However, the clothing only had a coat shell and no warm clothing at all.
.
Naturally, the handcuffs cannot be removed.
The spy simply got a few green travel bags and tied them on the three people's hands, and then wrapped scarves around them. Without looking closely, it looked like three people were carrying travel bags.
In order to prevent the three people from escaping, he also got a nylon rope, strung the three people in a string, and he pulled them.
He Shu resisted for a while, but was caught by the spy and kicked several times on the head. Seeing this, Cheng Lin winked at Wu Shushan, and the two of them cooperated to tie him up. After that, the group of seven people did not find a guide.
, we directly found a remote road and entered the mountain.
…
The sky on the plateau in September is as pure and clear as a baby's eyes, and like a blank canvas that has been painted with a layer of blue by a skilled painter.
The shape of Muztagh is not like an ordinary "spire" peak, but a "dome" peak. From a distance, it looks like an upside-down steamed bun, so it is also called "Steamed Bun Peak" by some people.
The river flowing down flows into the lake at the foot of the mountain, bringing vitality to this grassland.
Bennett and others naturally had no intention of admiring the scenery and only wanted to move quickly.
He Shu and Wu Shushan were equally heavy-hearted.
The former confidently emphasized at the beginning that the Division will definitely look for him, but when he saw that he was very close to the national border, he still could not see the shadow of Division I. Although he continued to emphasize that the Division would definitely come back, who could
It can be seen that his tone is not as confident as before.
Wu Shushan was not very talkative, but her tangled brows silently expressed her nervousness.
Only when she turned around and saw Cheng Lin, her tense heart relaxed briefly.
Just because Cheng Lin's expression was still so calm, as if he was not worried at all about his impending death.
Even... the thoughtful Wu Shushan always felt that the more the group walked to a sparsely populated area, the more Cheng Lin seemed to relax. Now that he was being dragged up the snowy mountain, he not only did not resist, but also seemed a little positive...
At this time, I was being dragged up the mountain, but I still had the time to look around and enjoy the scenery.
"Cheng Lin, you...what are you doing?" Wu Shushan couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Cheng Lin looked back and said: "Look at the scenery, you see, it's really beautiful here. I used to hear those so-called 'artistic young people' say words like soul cleansing all day long, which made me want to vomit. But
When I came here today, although my soul felt nothing at all, the scenery was indeed pretty good... Of course, the main reason is that I usually live in a reinforced concrete city, so when I came out, everything I saw naturally felt fresh."
Hearing that he still had time to share his thoughts and experiences, Wu Shushan just wanted to hold her forehead.
She carefully glanced at Bennett and others who were walking ahead, and asked in a low voice: "Are you...are you really not in a hurry, or are you just pretending? When we cross the snow-capped mountains, we will really die!"
Cheng Lin looked at the short-haired girl next to him, looking at her tired but still hopeful eyes, thought for a while, sighed, and said narrowly: "It might be a good ending to die in a place like this with you.
