The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 293 Kunsha
The driver also told us that in recent years, XZ tourism has become more and more popular every year. Some young people who have watched documentaries or adventure novels do not know the heights of the sky and the earth. With an off-road vehicle, they think that they are invincible in the world, calling for friends Going to break the new Tibet line, the result?Up to the opening of the new Tibet line, at least more than 5000 people have requested rescue, and many died on this road. There are various ways to die, such as skidding on ice and snow, falling off a cliff, being buried in an avalanche, or being trapped to death, because Altitude changes too fast, acute altitude sickness, death, everything.

So on this road, except for some young people who are ignorant and come to explore without doing their homework, most people are like us, and they will not complete the journey. Those who can drive and complete the journey are all people with professional qualities. and some lucky ones.

Of course, don't block your luck. Once you are in danger, you are the luckiest to get rescued. If you don't get rescued, you will never know how you will die.

Then, as the driver said, the Xinzang line is indeed a dangerous and extremely magnificent road. The magnificent glaciers and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are simply fascinating.I see almost all the time at night before I close my eyes and rest.

We arrived at Kunsha Township around [-]:[-] the next morning.In fact, there is a newly built airport here, but it is not easy to book tickets. Secondly, we are here to adapt to the plateau environment and are not in a hurry, so it is a better choice to take the Xinzang line.

The development of this place in Kunsha is not very good, and this goodness is actually relative.It is in a more remote place, with a vast land and few people, not as "prosperous" as LS. The surrounding hotels are also Tibetan residences, that is, home hotels opened by local Tibetans themselves.

Except for a small number of simple tourists, most of the people who come here to stay here are just like us, carrying big bags and small bags of equipment to explore.

Every young person has a restless heart, and I used to be similar, envious of the protagonists in adventure movies, but after experiencing it a few times, I feel that being an ordinary tourist is quite happy.The Tibetan hotel we stayed in was not crowded. According to my observation, there were four waves of people living in it.

The first wave of people should be a large group of donkey friends, they look very professional, and their equipment is comparable to ours, but their advantage is that they have more people.As for where this wave of people is going, I don't know. XZ is a very vast place, where you can start in all directions, and every direction can become a new route, so here, the routes are all planned by yourself.However, judging from the equipment they carried, I estimate that nine times out of ten, they are going to climb snow-capped mountains.

They look very professional, and the snow-capped mountains of 5000 meters are probably no problem. In the Ngari area, there are many snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than [-] meters. I guess they are aiming at those.

The second group of people are individual tourists who come and go, the number is not fixed, they are all ordinary tourists, their characteristics are easy to distinguish, they don’t have much equipment, they take pictures everywhere, and the photography skills are not very high.The third wave of people are mainly photographers. XZ is a photographer’s favorite paradise. Most of these people are unkempt, carrying heavy camera equipment, admiring and very silent.

The fourth wave of people is of course ourselves. We are more popular with Tibetan hosts, because we are permanent residents and will stay for half a month. Permanent residents are better than individual tourists.

For the next ten days or so, we carried out physical training as before, and we climbed the nearest 4000-meter-high snow peak. There was clear snow water flowing on the snow peak. Washing your face made you feel refreshed from head to toe.Then, we set off to the further snow peaks and gradually challenged two snow peaks with an altitude of more than 5000 meters. There were some situations in the middle. Fortunately, there was no danger, and we also accumulated a lot of experience in snow mountains. It also gradually became imperceptible.

Half a month later, at the beginning of May, we decided to set off.

The place we are going to is located in the northeast of Longmu Co. From Longmu Co, through a no-man's land, we will arrive at a place called Guozha Co.Wrong, it means lake in Tibetan.Both Longmu Co and Guo Zha Co are lakes.

There are no roads in that no-man's land. There are glaciers and snow-capped peaks and rolling plateau hills along the way. Off-road vehicles can drive part of it, but if you want to go deep, you can only rely on walking, which takes four or five days.We estimated the overall journey, no accident, at least about 20 days.

For 20 days, the rations of the three of us were a big problem, which made the equipment of the three of us very lean and simple. Even so, the load was quite heavy, but there was no way, the time span we were going to stay in the mountains was too long.Necessary cold protection, emergency response, mountaineering, camping, food, medicine and other equipment are indispensable.

On the morning before our departure, we had our last breakfast in Tibet.For breakfast, a large long table is put together, and the diners are all together.Among the three groups of people I mentioned earlier, except for the second wave, which is fluid, the first and third waves are actually relatively stable.

The group of people in the first wave consisted of eight people, six men and two women, some were young and some were about 40 years old.These people would occasionally disappear for a few days, and then come to this Tibetan residence to stay again. Through several observations, I know that this is a professional mountaineering expedition. Like us, they are also climbing snow-capped mountains during this period, but they Climbing is to warm up. During the breakfast conversation, I heard them talk about a place called Mount Kamaru, and it seems that the next destination is there.

I was a little curious, turned my head and asked Tan Ren in a low voice: "Boss, where is Kamaru? Is it very tall?"

Tan Ren glanced at the group of people opposite, and only said one sentence to me: "The fifth highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8463." After a pause, he added another sentence: "Mount Everest is far away from it. It's a neighbor."

I hesitated immediately, and ate my breakfast in silence. The tsampa, Tibetan noodles, meatloaf, and buttered tea were quite rich. I’m not a picky eater. I can eat anything as long as it’s not too dirty or disgusting. And I think it's pretty tasty.At the same time, the image of the group of people on the opposite side instantly grew taller in my heart.

Then, the three of us continued to eat breakfast, chatting about the route from time to time, and didn't listen to what the group of people on the other side said.Just when we were about to finish eating, the beautiful woman in their 30s suddenly said to me, "Hello."

I was stuffing tsampa in my mouth, so I hurriedly said, "Nihi (hello)..."

Tan Ren slapped me on the head smoothly: "I will talk after eating, and I will take you out, and I will lose face for eight lifetimes."

The woman on the opposite side snorted: "Haha, it's really interesting. It's okay, this food is delicious, right? That's right, I seem to have heard you mention Longmucuo just now, why, are you going to Longmucuo too? "The more you talk, the more you get beaten, so I'd better keep quiet.

Zhou Xuanye nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, what's the matter?"

The woman smiled and said, "I see that your equipment is pretty good, are you going to climb 5312?"

7312 I know that there is a snow-capped mountain belt in the southeast of the no-man's land area, and there are many glaciers around it. There are many unnamed snow peaks there, so some explorers directly named them by height.

Zhou Xuanye said: "No."

I feel a little curious, 5312, for these people, the difficulty seems to be a little lower, what are they doing there?

Seemingly seeing my doubts, the woman smiled and said: "Although 5312 is not high, the terrain is very steep and steep, and the difficulty is very high. Only the snow peak over there has to be challenged, so I thought you were on the same path." What about the Chinese?"

Zhou Xuanye smiled and didn't speak any more.

Our perfect equipment obviously aroused the curiosity of this group of people. Another younger girl in the team asked again: "If you don't go to 5312, where do you go? There seems to be no place worth challenging around Longmu Co. You guys Equipment is overkill."

Zhou Xuanye is a relatively polite person, and besides, we are not going to do something shameful, so he said directly: "We are going to enter the snowy area north of Guo Zhacuo."

As soon as this remark came out, except for those individual travelers who were not very knowledgeable, the rest of the people on the table, including a few photographers, were stunned, and all stared at the three of us, as if we had said something serious.
