Doomsday rat

Chapter 449 Go to Yining

In fact, there was another main reason for the merger of the two parties, which Hong Tao himself did not know.In addition to water and climate factors, safety is more important.

Ever since he raided Sanyuan County with paratroopers and annexed the Northwest Alliance overnight without bloodshed, the survivor groups in various places have been a little nervous, for fear that one day he will become a rubber stamp in the council.

Although Xinjiang Province is far away, it does not dare to underestimate it. In the long run, the Ili River Valley area is far more complex than WLMQ in terms of geographical environment, and the distance is farther away and better defense.

There are only four roads to enter the Yili River Valley by land; the first road is from Kuitun to the south along the Duku Highway to Nalati; the second road is from WLMQ to the south to Barentai Town, and the east to Nalati; the third road , turn west from WLMQ to Sailimu Lake, turn south, pass through Huocheng, turn east, and go around to the back of Yining; the fourth railway from Hami to Yining.

Of these four roads, the first and fourth roads have been tightly controlled by the Redeemer. Not only are there guards stationed in Kuitun, but there are also guards in several tunnels on the northern section of the Duku Highway.

The tunnel here is very interesting, with a door, a cement gate.The defenders don't have to do anything, as long as the tunnel gate is blocked, the world will be in balance.

There is a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other, with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. In summer, it rains when it rains, and it snows when it snows. It's either mudslides or landslides.

The second road is also not easy to walk. The road near Barentai Town is built in the middle of the valley. Due to the surge of rain in recent years, the river has washed away a section of the roadbed.

The Redeemer built a chain bridge, which can only pass small vehicles and pedestrians. If they are facing an enemy attack, they don't need to fight. They destroy the chain bridge, and then hide in the fortifications on the mountainside and shoot coldly.

Catch up with summer, maybe the flood will come at any time, and in winter, a heavy snowfall can block the road, and you don't even need to fight, just don't go out or come in.

The third road is easier to defend and harder to attack, and it is also the longest detour, hundreds of kilometers longer than the first two.Not far from Sailimu Lake, there is a bridge across the mountains, called Guozigou Bridge.

Unfortunately, an earthquake occurred here in the fifth year of the outbreak of the zombie disease, and the bridge was broken. Not only could outsiders not get in, but people in the Ili River Valley couldn't get out either. This road basically existed in name only.

This refers to entering the Ili River Valley from northern Xinjiang. If you go from southern Xinjiang, there are still two ways to enter.The first one is from Kuqa to the north along the Duku Highway, or to Nalati; the second one is from Ruoqiang to the north, passing through Korla and arriving at Barentai Town.

See, no matter if you go from northern or southern Xinjiang, you have to go through Nalati and Barentai towns.These two original tourist check-in resorts have now become battlegrounds for military strategists.

If it wasn't for oil extraction from KLMY, the Redeemer would not have to station troops in Kuitun. As long as the tunnel on the Duku Highway was blown up, even the town of Balentai would not be guarded. As long as Nalati is controlled, the All those who come by land in the three directions of north, east and south.

To the west is Khorgos, and beyond that is Kazakhstan. The survivors there have basically come here, so there is no need to worry about any large-scale survivor groups.

Can't get in by land, what about air?Since the Redeemer decided to establish a base in Yining, they spent more than three years sending people to destroy the airport runway east of Wuwei, including the west of Qinghai.I dare not say 100%, anyway, as long as there is one that can be found on the map, it counts as one.

In this way, the nearest airport is 2000 kilometers away from Nalati, and there is no place to land or refuel midway. Even if the U.S. Air Force is called in, all C130s that can land at a field airport for a short distance are not too bad. Easy to handle.

And as time goes by, aviation kerosene is basically cut off, and the highway is also covered by dust. Even if the C130 really came, it would not dare to land on the grass.The field airport is also an airport. For a big guy weighing dozens of tons, the ground may not be flat, but the hardness must be guaranteed, otherwise everyone will eat shit.

"Go back, I can walk the road ahead by myself." Hong Tao wanted to go to the Yining base, how should he go?Ten days later, three horses carrying two people and several large packages appeared in the valley below the Guozigou Bridge.

The bridge is broken, and ordinary people may not be able to cross it, but for the Crimea, who travels back and forth between the mountains at least twice a year, the presence or absence of the bridge does not affect his passage.Even if there is a bridge, it is impossible to drive sheep and vehicles to run on the highway together.

In the experience handed down from the grandparents year after year, there are small paths to cross every mountain and every valley.Of course, it is not allowed to drive a car, nor to ride a motorcycle or bicycle. You can only ride a horse, and in many places you have to lead a horse on foot.

Today is the day when Hong Tao went to Yining base. Not only did Krimin prepare two slaughtered sheep and two horse intestines, but he also packed two large packages of sheep cheese and horse cheese in sheepskin bags.

Hong Tao didn't ask what these meant, some things didn't need to be communicated with words.Ever since he told Crimea that he would buy a Kazakh or Kirgiz woman from the Yining base to be his wife, this lonely shepherd became extraordinarily diligent, secretly sewing new leather jackets and new felt tents, what he meant was clear at a glance. .

"I know you are a Han Chinese, and you are here to avoid your enemies. We are brothers, be careful of the Han people, they are bad!" Kerim was a little bit reluctant. In previous years, he would go away for several months without showing such emotion.

Because he knew that this weird Han man was not afraid of wild animals and bandits, and he was a snow leopard in the wild, so he, a shepherd dog who lived and slept in the open since childhood, had to bow down.But there are too many people in the Yining base, there are all kinds of clans, and there are too many guns. No matter how strong a person is, sometimes they can't handle it.

"Don't worry, I'm really there to sell goods. There are acquaintances there, and I won't be bullied. If I can't find him, I will throw these things away and come back immediately. By the way, you don't want to go fishing on a sailboat, think Eat fish and wait for me to come back. Drive...drive..."

The reluctance of the two old men made Hong Tao's eyes a little hot. In order to avoid revealing his true feelings, he hurriedly yelled at the old draft horse under his crotch to walk away on the grass that had just turned green.

In the blink of an eye, we have been together for seven years, and we are still the only partner. No matter who loses the other person, they only face loneliness.Even a shepherd who is used to being alone still needs someone to accompany him, it doesn’t matter whether it is of the opposite sex or the same sex, this feeling has gone beyond the scope of ordinary emotions

In fact, there is no road at all, and the so-called sheep trails are places where sheep can find their feet more easily when they rely on their instincts to climb over the mountain.If there is no guidance and a simple road map from Crimea, if you want to climb over this mountain ridge and then go around the mountain in front, you will be able to tire out Hong Tao's shit.

In this way, he still walked for a whole day, and had to make do at night on the branch of a big tree on the mountainside.That taste... All kinds of animals are scurrying around, and there is a biting cold wind blowing from time to time. It is strange to be able to fall asleep after a few years of adaptation.

In fact, there is a closer path that can bypass the Broken Bridge, but it will eventually return to the southern end of the Broken Bridge.Crimea said that there was a garrison of the Redeemer there, and those guys had robbed his sheep, so it is not recommended to go. It would be better to walk around the mountain for half a day than to be killed by someone and just throw it into the ravine.

Hong Tao took this suggestion very seriously. Although he could kill them first, he didn't want to continue to be Yuluo this time when he went to Yining.

Two days later, one man and two horses finally turned out of the ravine and returned to the abandoned road.Although the road still twists and turns in the ravine, at least it is flat, so there is no need to lead a horse on foot.

"Ha... finally let me see it!" After walking for more than three hours, the mountain gradually slowed down, and a large area of ​​bright purple appeared in front of it.Hong Tao took out his binoculars and scanned to see what it was, lavender, large areas of lavender bloomed, one of the beauties in the Huocheng area.

When I traveled to Xinjiang Province in the past, I didn't catch up with the flowering season. Now that there is no human planting, these plants have not bowed to nature, and they are still growing lushly.It is nothing more than some white, yellow, and red flowers mixed in, but this way it looks more natural.
