Chapter 1660: Big Avalanche
The Pamir Plateau, known as Buzhou Mountain in ancient China, passed through the ancient Silk Road. It is located in the southeast of Central Asia, the westernmost point of China, and straddles Tajikistan, China and Afghanistan.
In the local Tajik language, Pamir means the roof of the world. The plateau is between 4,000 meters and 7,000 meters above sea level, and has many peaks, with an average altitude of more than 6,000 meters.
Through the Pamirs, you can reach the Kunlun Mountains transportation line to China, because Kunlun Mountains starts from the Pamirs in the west, connects Qinghai, the capital of Xinjiang, and stretches to the country of Sichuan.
This plateau is the node of the two largest mountain ranges on the earth, the Himalayas and the Chukchi Mountains. It is also the main mountain range in the Asian continent and the central region, including the Himalayas, the Kunlun Mountains, the Tianshan Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains. .
The continuous undulations, the snow-capped peaks stand in groups, towering into the sky and clouds, and belong to the real roof of the Asian continent.
At this moment, Cai Ruichen's motorcade is heading to the highest peak of the Pamirs, the K2 in the Kashgaram Mountains, which is the border between China and Pakistan. It is 8,611 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in the world.
Through here, you can enter the road to the Kunlun Mountains, and then pass through the Tianshan Mountains, you can reach the territory of China, which is the most important road traffic line connecting the Middle East in China.
It's just that this place has been abandoned so early, it's actually quite unsafe for Cai Ruichen to go here.
The Pamir Plateau continues to the east, and the roads are built on cliffs and cliffs, winding for thousands of kilometers. Walking in such a place is quite dangerous in peacetime.
Even the automatic driving of armed mining vehicles cannot drive on such roads. On narrow roads, two trucks can barely pass by each other, and in narrower places, only one truck can barely pass by alone.
The most important thing is that for eight years, no one has covered such a mountain road, and it is still a question of whether the extreme mountain road of the first kilometer can be passed.
There may be a heavy rainstorm, or a large amount of snow in the cold winter, leading to serious rock slides, or road collapses, which are all natural conditions.
This is why this road, although there are not many mutants, is not the current choice of human beings, it is too complicated.
At present, human beings simply do not have the personnel and energy to maintain such a long road line.
Therefore, the safe passage came down from the north, bypassing the most complex mountain terrain in the world.
And Cai Ruichen chose this place for a very simple reason, that is to follow his intuition.
Of course, this kind of intuition may also be purely because of the inner yearning for the Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, or the cause of conquering the **.
But the most important thing is that Cai Ruichen really wants to pass this second highest peak in the world to see the world outside of Yunding.
The convoy stopped at the foot of K2. Almost no mutants could be seen here, and the deserted town was covered by countless layers of snow.
The truck was locked, everyone put their backpacks on their backs, left the truck, stepped on the snow all over the ground, and headed towards the top of the mountain.
There are no heavy down jackets, and there are no cold protection measures armed to the eyes. Everyone is dressed in cool clothes.
Carrying a backpack nearly one person high, leaving deep footprints along the way, all the way towards the K2.
Along the way, no one spoke, and no one made a sound, only the snow that sank into the legs and the friction of the feet.
Cai Ruichen has turned off the load on his body, and his personal terminal projects a topographic map of the entire K2 mountain range, leading everyone forward.
There is thick snow, no vegetation, and the rocks are almost covered under the snow, so we can only use the previous topographic map to find a safe way up the mountain.
At this moment, in front of Cai Ruichen's eyes was a virtual mountain map, guiding a safe path on the barren snow.
And on the map, with the danger warning, the snow on the mountain is too thick, any loud sound,
It is possible to cause a huge avalanche.
This is a long mountaineering with no rest in the middle, and everyone's speed is very fast. This kind of physical exhaustion, lack of oxygen and other problems will not affect Cai Ruichen and others at all.
It's just that as the altitude increases, the personal terminal is more and more seriously affected by electromagnetic radiation. When climbing to one-third of the altitude, the personal terminal is completely unusable.
Turning off the personal terminal, Cai Ruichen stopped for the first time. At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and all around was a vast expanse of white snow-capped mountains, stretching to the end of the world.
Not far away, there should be a resting point opened up by previous climbers, a cave dug by hand.
This is a resting point, and it is also a refuge point on the mountain. Cai Ruichen gestured behind him to go to rest, and then changed the direction of his advance.
Arriving at the location of the cave, the entrance of the snow-covered mountain was pushed aside and completely appeared in front of everyone.
The inside of the cave is very disturbing. The water in the cave is more than twenty degrees below zero, and all of it condenses into frost, and the air inside does not smell bad.
The space in the cave is not small, it can accommodate hundreds of people, and it has been reinforced. There are also many simple facilities, but they are currently unusable.
After picking up the rucksack, there was no mouth to speak for a day, and they all exhaled warm air.
"Take a break here, the electronic map is no longer available, I will draw the follow-up map later, and we will continue to go up the mountain tomorrow."
Cai Ruichen's words made everyone busy, cleaning the place and preparing food.
And Cai Ruichen is also ready to draw the route map in his mind immediately, and then everyone will give a copy.
If he is alone, there is no need to draw a map at all, but in order to prevent accidents, communication here is extremely difficult, so each person should have a map, and then set the emergency assembly point for each area, so that in case of accidents, you can Go to the assembly point and wait or look for it.
"Roar……"
While everyone was busy, there was a roar from outside, and then there was a roar from the entire mountain peak.
"It's an avalanche, all gathered together."
Cai Ruichen shouted in a hurry, a large amount of snow rolled down from the mountain, and the cave was shaking non-stop.
A large amount of snow rolled down from the top of the mountain, sweeping everything like a tsunami, and the entrance of the cave was instantly covered.
And the murderer who caused the avalanche was still roaring, layers of snow kept sliding down, like a raging mountain torrent, washing away everything in front of him, rocks rolling down, roaring endlessly.
When everything is calm, a lot of surface color is exposed on the top of the mountain.
To be continued.
