Chapter 180 Fresh Rut
This valley is very flat. Lao Liu's Xiaolong and Shi Qiang's Pajero are about three kilometers apart, and they are heading side by side from south to north. This can search this valley well.
This is already a real no-man's land, so you can see a lot of wild animals in the valley.
Needless to say, wild yaks can be seen, not far away, a herd of cattle, Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild donkeys, argali, and rock sheep can be seen.
Speaking of wild yaks, there are actually not so many real wild yaks. Along the way, most of the wild yaks Lao Liu and the others saw were domestic yaks that ran to the wilderness and eventually turned into wild yaks.
Tibetans, especially Tibetan herders in northern Tibet, are not so careful in raising cattle. Many yaks are simply wild and are not even built with cattle pens. Some yaks can even stay outside for a year or two...
Under such circumstances, there are inevitably yaks that run to the wilderness and cannot find the way home. This yak will turn into a wild yak over time.
Because the terrain is wide and flat, the car speed is not fast, and the second gear is enough to move forward, so Lao Liu left the driving matter to Chu Qian.
There is no better place for beginners to train female drivers than here. Looking around, there is nothing for a few kilometers, just drive it. Even if you step the accelerator into the fuel tank, nothing will happen.
Chu Qian is very happy to do this kind of work.
Lao Liu wore cold-proof clothes, windbreaker clothes, hat, sunglasses, gloves, leather hood and other equipment, and climbed directly to the roof of the car and stared at the dumplings.
This was the first time that the dumplings soared so freely, so they seemed quite excited. They dived several times in a row, as if they wanted to catch prey, but unfortunately, the prey here was very alert, far from comparable to the sheep on the pasture. Therefore, the hunting skills have not yet been practiced to MAX dumplings, and they have failed to catch prey several times.
Lao Liu did not stop dumplings from doing this. This is the real hunting, and this can truly exercise the ability to hunt dumplings.
It’s not that Old Liu does this when he is idle. He is really a search and rescue work that you can’t even worry about it.
Without a certain coordinate, you can only search aimlessly within the general range of guessing. If you found it, you are good, everyone will be happy, you can't find it, there is no way out.
No one can blame anyone. Can you blame these search and rescue team members for not doing their best?
That's pure nonsense!
Like Lao Liu, Li Junyi, Mi Feng and others, they rushed over a thousand miles to come here for free for search and rescue. Can you say they are wrong?
Who will give you free search and rescue? Even if you give money, who would like to go to this forbidden zone of life with an altitude of more than 5,000 to risk your life to save you?
Are you face big?
So no one can blame such a thing. If you want to blame, you can only blame those stole people who don’t know how to live or die.
This is really a joke about my life.
Although the search and rescue operation is a boring thing, it is still good here. Less than three kilometers to the west is the famous Puruangri Glacier. Although it is impossible to go up the glacier and spread wildly, it is extremely rare to appreciate the glacier on the world's third continental glacier from this distance.
The huge glacier was like a huge white hat and pressed upside down on the ground, facing the edge of Lao Liu and the others, extending one ice tongue after another. Traces of the river can be seen at the end of almost every ice tongue.
These rivers are all washed out by melting water when glaciers melt in summer.
The Puruangri Glacier is the main source of water for several large lakes around. The Linggecuo and Amucuo in the west, the largest lake in northern Tibet in the north, the Dorsodongcuo in the southeast, and the main source of water for the United States and Japan in the United States and Japan are all from this huge glacier.
But now it is extremely cold and the rivers have long been gone, and even the rivers that gather in the valley have dried up.
Now Lao Liu and the others are actually walking along the river...
At about one o'clock at noon, the valley searched about half of the range. There were no clues in the dumplings in the sky, and no clues on the ground.
I contacted Second Lieutenant Zhang via satellite phone, and there were no clues there, including the convoy searching north of Shuanghu Lake today.
Under such circumstances, Lao Liu and his group of seven had to start camping to prepare for lunch.
The car was equipped with an outdoor gas stove and a lot of ingredients. Lao Liu could hold a lot of things on the roof of the car.
In addition to these things, each car also has a barrel of 100-liter oil barrel, which was given by Second Lieutenant Zhang before departure in the morning. Because this search and rescue plan was to search and rescue for three consecutive days. In order to ensure sufficient fuel, each car carried an oil barrel filled with oil.
The reason why I searched and rescued for three days is mainly because at this altitude and temperature, if I can’t find anyone in three days, I basically don’t need to look for it.
Under such natural environment, it is very unlikely that these people can survive three days.
After all, in addition to the natural environment, there are also many wild wolves here. If the brown bears hadn't hibernated now, the possibility of them meeting bears would be quite good!
This is the Tanggula Mountains!
That’s right, the world’s largest land glacier, the Puruangri Glacier is located in the Tanggula Mountains, and about 150 kilometers east from the Puruangri Glacier, is the famous Gradandong!
Strictly speaking, the natural environment here is even worse than that of Kokoxili!
Looking at the satellite map combined with GPS, they found that it was nearly twenty kilometers away from the northernmost end of the valley. They hurriedly ate their meal and continued to search forward after they finished packing it.
After about two hours, the two cars walked to the northernmost end of the valley, but found nothing. It had passed the Puruangri Glacier, located in the northeast of the Puruangri Glacier.
I contacted Lieutenant Zhang by satellite phone, and there was nothing there. Old Liu was about to return when he heard Chu Qian holding Aipide and said, "Liu Mo'ang, look at this map. It seems that there is a valley in the north of this valley. I just don't know if we can pass through the entrance of this valley."
Hearing Chu Qian's words, Lao Liu took Aipide and adjusted the satellite map into a contour mode, so that he could clearly see that there was a valley entrance about one and a half kilometers wide to the north of this valley.
It’s just that you have to reach the valley from here and cross the “hill” ahead.
It is said to be a hill, but the altitude is actually more than 5,020 meters, but because the relative height of this mountain is only one or two hundred meters, and the slope is relatively smooth, it looks like a hill.
Shi Qiang and Rene Liu came over, and Rene Liu asked, "What new discoveries have you made?"
Since Lao Liu made an accurate judgment in the early morning, he has become the leader of this search and rescue team. Even though Shi Qiang and Rene Liu are the executive members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team in Sunac City, they are willing to listen to this young man.
Old Liu handed Aipide over and pointed to the map and said, "Sister Ying, Qianqian found that there was a large valley in the north of this valley. She doubted whether those people had gone there? After all, when they received a call for help from those people yesterday morning, the people just said that they had passed by a big lake, and the place they were trapped in was surrounded by snow-capped mountains, so I think the place Qianqian mentioned is also very likely."
The valley pointed out by Chu Qian is just north of the Puruangri Glacier. It is an oval valley about twenty kilometers long and about ten kilometers widest. Less than twenty kilometers south of the valley is Puruangri, with an altitude of more than six thousand, and the other three directions are also mountains above 5,400 altitude.
Rene Liu looked at the map and finally nodded, turned her head and said to Shi Qiang, "Brother Shitou, I think Qianqian's analysis makes sense. If you look at these contour lines, it's hard to prevent good off-road vehicles. Those seven people seem to be driving two big Gs, right?"
Shi Qiang nodded.
"Then why don't we go over and take a look?" Liu Ruoying asked.
Lao Liu raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's 4:30 pm now, and the sunset here is about 7:00. If it goes well, it's okay for us to arrive at that valley. Let's go there."
Lao Liu said, opened the car door and took out the satellite phone, and reported to Second Lieutenant Zhang about the situation where he was preparing to explore the valley in the north.
After all, the previous plan was not in the search for the valley north of the Puruogangri Glacier. Now if they want to go there, they must report to the commander of the search and rescue operation, namely Lieutenant Zhang.
The same thing is true, the rules should not be messed up.
Zhang Xiaowei agreed without hesitation about Lao Liu's suggestion. Since he had come out to search, he would search for the places where the seven people could go.
The group got into the car, and Lao Liu made a few gestures to the dumplings in the sky, and then the car drove north.
There is no road here at all, but both cars are cars with excellent off-road performance, so it is no problem to run on this kind of road.
Especially Lao Liu's Foxconn, which weighs more than three and a half tons, is the best way to make a road-finding car in front.
This hill should be the watershed between the water sources of Doggecuoren and Dorsodongcuo. This can be seen clearly from the direction of the river on the ground.
There are a little puddle in some rivers, but the water inside has long been frozen into a lump. The 335 off-road tires of the Xiaolong 335 pressed on this ground without any obstacles, and it can also make a rut for Pajero behind it.
But after all, it was an unfamiliar place, so Lao Liu was more careful in driving. From crossing the hills, he arrived at the 15-kilometer entrance of the valley, which was less than one and a half kilometers wide in the north, the two cars ran for an hour.
Fortunately, there were no accidents on the road, but the water temperature in Pajero was a little high, so it almost opened the pot.
The altitude here is higher than that of Naganla Pass, and the car will be opened if you don’t pay attention to it…
When he arrived at the entrance of the valley, Lao Liu's gaze was suddenly attracted by some traces on the ground.
After getting off the car, a group of people walked over and found some clear and messy ruts on the ground, indicating that the vehicles causing these ruts seemed to have turned around here, and turned around more than once, because the ruts on the road were clearly displayed.
Several people showed smiles on their faces.
In this kind of ghost place where birds do not poop and chickens do not lay eggs, who can leave such fresh ruts here except those seven gourd kids who are desperate?
PS: Bow and thank the boss "Scar My Heart" for another 2,800 reward!
