Chapter 294 Crossing the No Man's Land

The surprised and strange faces of this group of people made me touch my knees involuntarily. It seems that they all know that place, but what's the matter with such expressions?

At this time, a photographer's photographer with half-long hair said: "I went to Guo Zha by mistake. It is very beautiful, but the North District is a very dangerous place. What are you doing there?" Of course we know this. , Team Zeng told us about the situation there before that.

Although that area is a no-man's land, because of the magnificent scenery of Guozha Co and the strange half-salt and half-fresh water, it also attracts many explorers and photographers.They crossed no-man's land and arrived at Guozhacuo at an altitude of 5080 for photography, but few people would go to the northern area of ​​Guozhacuo.

There is a very large snowy area over there, with towering snow peaks, with an average altitude of about [-] to [-], and there are many large glacial relics inside. The most dangerous thing is that there is a very strange magnetic field in that snowy area, and all electrons Once the equipment is in, it will fail.

Photographers are often active in the Guozhacuo area, and few are close to the North District, because if they are close, there will be problems with the photographic equipment.

In 74, there was a professional national-level surveying and mapping team. The team had entered the "sea of ​​death" Taklimakan desert nine times, the Karakorum Mountains "forbidden zone of life" ten times, and marched into the Tianshan Mountains and Altai Mountains twelve times.

He also stationed in the North District for a period of time to investigate, but in the end, for unknown reasons, he did not go deep into it. It is said that there are still relics left by the group that year.

Zhou Xuanye answered the photographer's question, but he was obviously lying: "Of course it's for the challenge." This reason is not flawed in the eyes of some people who like adventure, and the challenge beyond is a concept of adventure.

Therefore, after Zhou Xuanye finished speaking, the photographer said: "I advise you, it is best not to take such a challenge. I heard that seven years ago, there was also a national surveying and mapping team, and it took a year to leave after entering. Come out, people are crazy."

I couldn't help but glanced at the photographer, thinking that he was very well-informed. Judging by his attire and the level of photographic equipment, he seemed to be a man with two brushes. I asked his name, and he said : "You can call me Lao Zhao."

The pair of people on the other side, after the initial shock, also slowed down, and the woman in her 30s immediately said with great interest: "It's just right, you are going to Guozha wrong, we can take a walk, haha, I am Looking forward to the results of your challenge."

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "We are going to leave after eating, how about you?"

"Same." After the woman finished speaking, we made a decision to drop by.After all, the area from Longmu Co to Guozha Co is no-man's land, with plateaus, deep valleys, glacial rapids, and all kinds of wild animals in groups. It is easy to attack people who are alone. In such an environment, people A little more is always safer.

At the moment, the two groups of us introduced ourselves while eating breakfast.

After understanding, this eight-member expedition team is a member of an outdoor club in Shanghai. This club has relatively high requirements and accepts only people who have reached the professional mountaineering level.This eight-person team, everyone has achieved a lot, and this is not the first time they have entered Tibet.

Among them, the woman who spoke to me first was the vice-team leader. The team leader was a man in his 40s. Everyone in the team was called 'Snow Leopard' by the code name of the club, and the team leader was called 'Blue Eagle'. The rest of the pile were also all animals, which made me a little confused, and I couldn't match the numbers, and couldn't figure out who was who.

Fortunately, these people had cars and came here by themselves, so after breakfast, we didn't rent a car, so we took their hitchhikers and got on National Highway 219 to continue our journey.The road conditions on this section of the road are good, and there are few vehicles. Driving on the Xinjiang-Tibet Line, you can’t see a car for half a day, so the speed is also very fast.

At noon, we arrived at Longmu Co. The Snow Leopards drove the car directly into the grass and drove forward at full speed. After a while, we could see a very large lake.The rocky beaches around the lake are glowing a bright white under the sun, looking like ice and snow from a distance.

The blue lake reflects the white clouds in the sky. On the vast plateau, from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, there are gusts of cool wind with snowy air. In the low-lying land not far away, a group of wild donkeys are watching us vigilantly. After a while, he ran away without a trace.

Those bright white substances are the salt left by the evaporation of the salty lake. Snow Leopard said that the minerals in this lake are very rich, and the lithium content contained in it is the highest in the country.In the early years, the government did not allow mining, but in recent years it seems to have let go. It is said that a large mining company has won its mining rights.

Of course, this is just gossip, I don't know if it is true, but if it is true, I think it must be a great disaster for the creatures in this place.This paradise lake far away from the world may soon usher in large-scale machinery and a large amount of fuel emissions. By then, I am afraid that this kind of scene of salt like snow and lake like mirror will no longer be seen.

Speaking of this, Lan Ying sighed: "You said that people are really great and hateful. They can conquer everything. The Antarctic, the North Pole, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and Everest can push mountains and seas and build steel cities, but they How much more was destroyed?"

I felt quite touched and nodded.

Snow Leopard said: "That's why more and more people like to explore and desire to go to no-man's land. Only in places where there are no humans can they see the original appearance of this world."

This group of people is worthy of being a professional expedition team, and the topic suddenly went off the rails. They began to list their own adventure experiences.

After more than three hours, due to the high altitude and the raised terrain, our off-road vehicle could no longer drive, so we parked the vehicle beside an ice ditch.As soon as I got out of the car, I could feel a burst of cold air. In the ice ditch was the snow water flowing down from the snow-capped mountains not far away, and there were ice cubes floating in the grass on both sides.

I took a sip of the water, the snow water was very sweet and cool, the ice ditch stretched forward on the grass, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the air was very dry, it made people's nose tingle after a long time, very uncomfortable .I took a mask from my bag and put it on to cover my mouth and nose, and the group started hiking with their gear on their backs.

It takes about two days to trek through this no-man's land, and the snow leopards and their companions will spend more than eight hours.

In the plateau area, the greater the physical exertion, the more severe the altitude sickness. Fortunately, I have adapted here for a month, and I have climbed several large and small snow-capped mountains.I didn't feel tired at the moment.As for the rest, it was even easier.

I think I'm pretty timid, you know, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren's expressions didn't change when we got off the plane, and I was the only one suffering from altitude sickness.In Zhou Xuanye's words, in my situation, it doesn't matter if I play in a place like LS, because the altitude around LS is actually not high, and it is in a position that most people can accept, and only a few people will react.Unfortunately, I am one of those very few.

Everyone walked on foot, stop and go, and the snow leopards also brought simple camera equipment, so they took pictures together from time to time. Along the way, they could see many animals, such as white-lipped deer, oxen, yellow sheep, wild donkeys, etc., halfway It was still on a high ground, and I saw an antelope climbing a rock, with a light and agile figure, which was amazing.

It was dark in the snow area, so we did not camp until after [-]:[-] pm. The temperature was very low at night. Since there were no large carnivores here, no vigil was arranged, and everyone slept until dawn.

At around [-] o'clock, the genius here is bright. We packed our bags and walked for about three hours. We climbed to a high ground and looked at a cloud-shrouded snow peak in the distance. , The clouds and mist are transpiring, it is difficult to see the true face.

Snow Leopard waved at us and said, "You go north, we go east, let's break up here. Good luck."

I said, "You too, good luck."

The code-named Grizzly in the team smiled and said: "Our side is trivial, but you have to be careful, goodbye." After finishing speaking, the two groups of us parted ways.

Just as the eight of them turned to leave, and I was about to leave, when I turned around, I suddenly saw something lying on the cliff not far in front of me. When I took a closer look, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Snow leopard!"

This sound was relatively loud, and it spread widely in the open plateau. Snow Leopard and others who had already walked a certain distance stopped when they heard the words, and Snow Leopard shouted: "What do you want me to do?"

I said, "I'm not calling you, there really are snow leopards!"
