Chapter 311
The group rested in this village for two or three days, regained their energy, and found a guide before continuing their journey.
The guide’s name is Shunzi.
Shunzi has lived here for a while before and knows the situation on the snow-capped mountains very well.
In these years, I have also made a living by serving as a guide for people who come here to travel.
It is worth mentioning that ten years ago, Shunzi's father once led a group of people deep into the mountains, but in the end he failed to come back.
Hu Ming knew that the team led by Shunzi's father ten years ago was actually Chen Wenjin and his party who escaped from the Golmud Sanatorium in Qingdao Province.
After discussing the price with Shunzi, the matter was decided, the equipment was sorted, and a lot of things were bought according to Shunzi's requirements. A total of fourteen horses headed deep into the forest. Go.
Changbai Mountain is really beautiful. Despite the harsh climate, a large number of people still come here for sightseeing every year.
It is winter now, the wind and snow are changing, and the situation on the mountain is basically the same every day.
Under the leadership of Shunzi, the group of people followed the workers' mountain path in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
About four hours later, we arrived at Girl Lake.
In order to make Shunzi believe that they were indeed tourists, the group even took photos by the lake.
In response, Hu Ming just chuckled twice and said nothing more.
You know, about a month ago, Wu Sansheng had already entered Yunding Tiangong in advance.
On the eve of departure, Shunzi was asked to give Wu Xie a message on how to enter the underground palace.
When he met Wu Xie, Shunzi had long since refused to believe that they were simply traveling.
After passing Girl Lake, the rest of the journey becomes increasingly difficult.
Not long after, everyone was already walking on a slope of about 60 degrees.
When the sky began to darken, Nuoda Girl Lake was only as big as a small pool in the sight of Hu Ming and others.
At this time, taking advantage of their superior position, everyone discovered that a large team appeared at the lakeside.
"It seems we are lucky, we can meet old acquaintances in such a ghost place."
Hu Ming picked up the telescope and looked over, raised the corner of his mouth, and whistled.
That's Aning.
Wu Xie and others who were riding their horses took out their binoculars and looked over after hearing this.
Aning's team consisted of about thirty people. At this time, they were setting up tents and setting up camp by the lake.
Obviously, they plan to spend the night by the lake tonight
To be honest, the environment by the lake is much more comfortable than Hu Ming and his friends' current environment.
“I’ll go!”
Wu Xie couldn’t help but curse secretly.
He couldn't help but think of the message that Baldhead brought to him from Wu Sansheng when he was in Changsha City.
In Wu Xie's inference, the enemy Wu Sansheng wants to delay is probably the group of people from the ship fishing company.
However, what Wu Xie didn't know was that the enemies Wu Sansheng wanted to delay were not just those who took the football ethics test.
"Trouble, that group of people are fully armed and equipped with firearms."
"God knows how they got guns. It's not easy to get guns these years. Things, let alone such a large number of weapons.”
"But our manpower can't match it, let alone the weapons. Others are playing with guns, but we are playing with engineer shovels and knives?"
"How can we play like this!"
The fat man observed more carefully and cursed repeatedly in frustration.
Those thirty or so people, each with an assault rifle behind their back, made the fat man jealous. "You have to know that this is a border area. There is nothing you can do at home, but there are many ways abroad."
"Either, they probably registered with a legal security company or something."
"And you can't use public transportation all the way... It seems that the mysterious disappearance of their people last time gave them enough warning. "
Hu Ming smiled lightly.
Not to mention that it is difficult to have a conflict with Aning and the others during this trip. Even if there is a conflict, thirty people and thirty guns?
It is not impossible to solve it.
It's just more difficult.
"Let's go, we still have to find a place to camp before night falls completely, but we don't have time to watch them complain."
Putting away the binoculars, a few people continued to set off.
Chen Pi's people and Hu Ming's group are two small groups.
In the discussion just now, both groups avoided each other.
Shunzi, on the other hand, was excluded by two small groups.
Continuing to climb up the mountain, when it finally got completely dark, everyone saw some dilapidated wooden houses.
“This is the supply station for the Snow Mountain Outpost War. Later, several platforms here were moved and the place was abandoned.”
“After we climbed above the snow line, there were still There are several abandoned outposts, and we may need to go there to rest."
Pointing to the dilapidated houses, Shunzi introduced them to everyone dutifully as a guide.
Today, Hu Ming and others are still below the snow line, far from reaching the area that has been frozen for thousands of years.
After simply replenishing food and water, everyone rested early and got up early the next morning to continue their journey.
After continuing to climb for about half a day, we had already crossed the snow line.
As the journey continues, the surrounding environment changes drastically.
All kinds of vegetation have begun to become sparse, the surrounding snow is getting thicker and thicker, and there are more and more randomly piled stones.
Hu Ming knew that these were traces of the major projects that were carried out on Sansheng Mountain.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, especially in places with harsh climate and environment like the Changbai Mountains. It was very difficult to transport raw materials.
Using local materials is the best choice.
At noon, everywhere as far as the eye could see was buried under thick layers of snow.
Arrived here, there is no road to speak of. It is up to Shunzi, who is familiar with the mountain topography, to open the way ahead.
After finding a fairly open place, the group stopped to rest for a while.
"Uncle Ming, what are you looking at? Why don't you take a few sips to warm yourself up? This damn weather is going to kill you."
"Fat man, I can't stop this fat body. !”
The fat man took a sip of the liquor he carried with him, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and looked at Hu Ming, who was standing alone and looking at the compass in a daze, and shouted.
“Didn’t see anything.”
Hu Ming smiled, put away the compass, took the wine bottle handed over by the fat man, and took a sip to dispel the permeating chill.
Hu Ming has been paying attention to the compass since he crossed the snow line.
About two hours ago, no matter how they changed their orientation, the north point due east, which was 90 degrees clockwise, was always locked on a snow-capped mountain hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance.
In other words, they are not far from Yunding Tiangong.
