"And, too, it is God's will." The woman, Miss Caroline, interjected in another shriek. Neil is Campbell's assistant, and she is Neil's assistant and his lover.

And the reason why their small team appeared in this inaccessible place was because of a series of "mysterious events" that happened here.

And Campbell's rescue team was sent by the British and Indian authorities to investigate.

Campbell didn't say anything more. He was not sure whether his small expeditionary party would encounter terrible danger here.

He stared out the window and pondered. At this time, a strange change occurred, and the halo of the whole mountain changed to a color similar to that of Chinese celadon, and gradually changed to a dull purple as the hillside was sunken.

"I think it won't be long before we see those bizarre mysterious flying objects." Neil also noticed the change outside the window and said.

"But anyway, I didn't believe they existed until I saw them with my own eyes." Miss Caroline said loudly, "What a magic tower, a lightning bolt, a firebird, a snowman, these things are too bizarre. ”

Instead of his usual calmness and indifference, Campbell's heart rose with a strong emotion—not all excitement, not timidity, but a strong expectation. "Maybe you're right, these things are getting more and more bizarre." "But bizarre things don't have to be non-existent. ”

"I don't want to say anything about it," Caroline said stubbornly, "and we didn't ask to bring us here, God knows where we're going, what we're going to do, whatever it is." You're just an aerobatic pilot, Mr. Campbell. I've heard of pilots who go crazy in flight. But I hope you're not crazy. ”

Campbell turned his head silently. He hated yelling endlessly at the roar of the motor. After all, there is not much point in arguing with this woman.

In fact, before the action, everyone was far from reaching a unified action plan. However, only Caroline, the only woman in the team, appeared to be restless, which may have something to do with the altitude, and the thin air can have different effects on the human body. But Campbell only felt some numbness in his limbs, his mind had been clear, and the numbness didn't get in his way much, although he could only breathe in the cold air in short bursts.

He gazed at the majestic peak, and a feeling of surprise and relief came over him.

For the first time, he saw that there was such a beautiful place in such a remote, isolated, uninhabited corner of the world.

The ice and snow walls of the Karakoram rise more distinctly to the gloomy gray-brown sky to the north, and the peaks glow with a cold cold light, they are majestic, distant, nameless, but give a sense of sacred solemnity. Although they are a thousand feet shorter than the famously massive peaks, they are permanently protected from the disturbances of mountaineering explorers, who are also not very attractive to record-breaking explorers.

Campbell continued to stare at the view from the plane window. Then Caroline asked, "Where are we now?" ”

"It's hard to judge, but it's possible that it's a part of Tibetan Province, and if these mountains are the Karakoram Mountains, then they would have crossed Tibetan Province long ago."

"You're our official tour guide for this trip, Mr. Campbell." Caroline turned her head to look at Neil and said, "Because you didn't ask me for anything, maybe I shouldn't have said anything, but, let me say, this is my first time traveling!" For the first time! I used to refuse to fly anyway, and a friend once tried to persuade me to take a plane from London to Paris, but he didn't say anything about me. ”

"Now, you're flying from India to Tibet." Neil teased her, "That's how things tend to be, and they don't happen because of your will." ”

"You haven't been to Tibet before, Neil, you don't know anything about it." Caroline glared at him and said, "I once knew a pastor who had been to Tibetan Province and he said that Tibetans were very eccentric, and they thought we were monkeys. ”

"Then they're too smart, haha." Neil laughed.

"Oh dear, no, I don't mean in the modern sense, they have believed this for hundreds of years, and this is only one of their many superstitions, and of course I myself am against all superstitions. However, I believe that Darwin would have been surprised if he had known all this. ”

The plane continued to fly forward, and suddenly, the fuselage toppled over, waking everyone who was asleep, and Campbell's head "slammed" against the window, which made him faint for a moment; And the plane suddenly turned to the side, causing his body to stumble suddenly.

Soon, everyone felt a chilling cold.

Campbell looked up to see the desolate world full of rolling mountains, and Campbell noticed that one of the peaks shone faintly on the distant horizon, looking from afar like a row of sharp canine teeth.

At this time, the wind became weaker, and Campbell easily controlled the plane, he looked at the peaks, and involuntarily flew the plane in the direction where the peaks were.

"Look! What is that? ”

As the plane approached, Neil was the first to spot the anomaly of the tallest mountain, pointing to a golden tower-like structure on top of the mountain, and screaming in surprise.

"It should be a stupa." Caroline gave Neil a blank look and said, "However, the style of this pagoda is not the same as the pagoda in Tibetan Province......

"The Chinese are so amazing that they actually built the pagoda on the top of the mountain!" Neil's face still couldn't hide his surprise.

As the plane approached the mountain, a golden tower appeared in front of Campbell, like a god in gold armor, majestic and majestic, so that everyone who saw it couldn't help but be in awe.

Campbell gazed at the golden tower, and he soon realized that this strange structure built on the top of the hill was probably more than just a religious one, because not far from the tower, he saw the round watchtower, and the anti-aircraft guns mounted on it.

"My God! What is it?! Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the tower at the top of the mountain, Caroline suddenly shouted.

Campbell turned his head to look and was immediately surprised to see a fire-breathing black shadow like a giant bat passing in front of him.

The black shadow flew forward at an extremely fast speed, instantly turning into a small bright spot in the porcelain blue sky.

"This ...... Is it what they say it is...... Firebird? Neil shouted.

"I don't know." Campbell said in a deep voice, he looked at the tower on the mountain peak again, and realized that there might be some connection between the "fire-breathing bat" that flew over just now and the tower, and he subconsciously turned the nose of the plane and flew towards the tower.

"Neil, get your camera ready, take some pictures of this tower, and then we'll get out of here." Campbell said.

Just as he finished speaking, the "Spitfire Bat" flew back with lightning and passed Campbell's plane again, Neil had prepared the camera at this time, and the "Spitfire Bat" reduced its flight speed at this time, and circled around the rescue team's plane, Neil pressed the camera's shutter the moment the other party approached his plane, and took a picture of it.

"It's ...... Plane? At this time, when the other party slowed down, Campbell had already seen the other party's true colors.

This "fire-breathing bat" is a uniquely shaped airplane, the fuselage is short and thick, like a cigar, and in the fuselage, there are two thick tubes that also look like cigars, and the flame just now is spewed out from here, probably because of the deceleration, Campbell can only see a faint light smoke, the length of the triangular wings that exceed the fuselage connects the fuselage and two flamethrower pipes, in the nose of the fuselage, Campbell can vaguely see a man in black clothes and wearing a strange helmet sitting there.

For the first time in his life, Campbell saw such an airplane and was shocked, as if he had returned to the battlefields of World War I and encountered a German Zeppelin for the first time in the sky.

"Don't just take pictures of the plane!" Campbell saw that Neil was still taking pictures of the Fire-breathing Bat, and exclaimed, "Take two pictures of the tower!" ”

Neil agreed, and began to take pictures of the tower, only to realize that there was a large temple under the tower, and the roar of the plane's motor had alarmed the people there, and Neil saw the Tibetans surrounding the lama pouring out of the house, looking into the air in unison.

Neil took several pictures one after another, and in order to give him a clearer picture, Campbell moved the plane closer to the tower and circled, when he suddenly noticed that at the top of the tower, there was a huge copper rotor-like device, which began to rotate slowly.

Campbell watched this scene in surprise, he vaguely felt the danger approaching, and immediately turned around and flew away from the tower, at this time the "fire-breathing bat" chased up, Campbell noticed a few black holes in the nose of the plane, realized that it was the opponent's weapon, and couldn't help but tighten his heart.

The Fire-breathing Bat opened fire, and Campbell noticed the yellowish flickering light from the nose of the opponent's plane, and for a moment he was distracted, but he immediately realized that the other party seemed to be warning himself and not trying to shoot down his own plane, because all the shells flew past Campbell's plane.

"He's warning us not to go near that tower." Caroline said in horror, "Let's get out of here!" ”

Campbell sped the plane away from the mountain where the tower sits, while the Charizard flew behind the expedition for a while before turning away.

"Chinese actually set up a military base at such a high place......" Campbell thought back to the scene he had just seen, and his doubts grew heavier and heavier.

In his impression, the technology is as advanced as the British Empire, and it seems that it has never built such a fire-breathing aircraft.

While Campbell was thinking wildly, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the distant sky, followed by a thunderclap!

"What's going on? How can there be lightning during the day? Neil shouted.

Campbell was also horrified, and he looked around, although it was a little late, the sky was as clear as they had come, and there were not many clouds, let alone thunderclouds.

For some reason, Campbell suddenly remembered the huge copper rotor on the top of the tall tower just now.

At this moment, Campbell suddenly noticed that a dazzling ball lightning suddenly appeared next to his wing, accompanied by an explosion, and then the wingtips of the wing instantly began to burn.

Campbell watched all this in horror, and for a moment he forgot about the plane.

"The plane was struck by lightning!" Neil shouted.

The plane began to tremble violently, Caroline let out a frightened cry, Campbell managed to calm himself down, he desperately held the longitudinal rod, and tried to pull the plane up like a wild horse, but the plane did not obey and dived downward.

A loud vibration sounded in his ears, and he thought it was a hallucination, but then he noticed that the motor had stopped working, and the plane was gliding against the wind. He looked out the window and could see that the ground was quite close, and a vague blue-gray was bouncing and flying underneath. "We're about to land!" Campbell shouted, and Neil, who had been thrown out of his seat by the plane's tilt, responded with horror and rejoicing: "Land!" That's great! If only we were so lucky! At this moment, Caroline seemed to have recovered from her frightened state, and the whole turbulent scene did not disturb her in the slightest, but she straightened her hat very calmly, as if the harbour of Dover was in front of her.

After a while, the plane began to land, but this was the worst landing of Campbell's life - "Hey! Oh, God! It's bad, it's bad! Neil muttered as he gripped the handle of his seat tightly with his hand. The plane staggered for about ten seconds before a loud deafening sound entered the cabin — Campbell knew it was a tire on the landing gear that had exploded. "We're screwed!" Neil cried out in horror, "We're dead!" Oh! Oh, God! ”

There was another violent tremor, and Campbell felt a white expanse in front of him—snow on the ground poured up the nose of the plane, covering the glass on the window, and the plane taxied on the ground for a while, and finally stopped.

"Oh God! Are we still alive? After the plane stopped, Caroline asked in a trembling voice.

"We're all alive."

Campbell never liked to talk too much at such a critical juncture, stretching his numb legs and touching the spot on his head that was touched by the window. There was just a big bag there, and there was no bleeding. He checked himself again, and there was no injury, he turned around and looked behind him.

"Neil, Caroline, how are you two?"

"I'm fine." Neil replied in surprise, "Carolyn, how are you?" ”

"My wrist was swollen." Caroline replied in a hoarse voice, "But I can still move, I don't have a broken bone." ”

Campbell let out a long breath when he heard her answer, and he knew that now he had to do something to help everyone get out of this situation. However, when the canopy of the plane was opened, he was the last of the three to stand up.

"Be careful, Neil." When Neil twisted open the hatch to jump off the plane, he screamed; After a moment of unsettling silence, the young man replied, "Don't worry, we're safe, but it looks like it's the end of the world—not even a human figure." ”

The three of them stepped off the plane, Campbell stood in the snow, looking at the plane that had fallen into shape, he recalled the thrilling scene that had just happened, and his heart was full of inexplicable doubts.

And fear.

"What do we do now?" Carolin asked.

No one answered.

After a while, all three of them felt a chilling cold. The only sound in my ears was the roar of the wind and the "crunch" of their footsteps in the snow. Everyone felt that they had fallen into a melancholy, desolate melancholy, which pervaded and pervaded everything around them, and it was already a little late, the sun was hiding behind the mountains, and the hazy starlight with the roar of the wind reflected a deep and astonishing emptiness.

"We'd better get back on the plane." "We don't have a place to hide from this terrible gale right now." ”

Everyone unanimously agreed and accepted Campbell's suggestion and returned to the damaged cabin.

The inside of the Yang cabin was not much warmer than the outside, but it was able to keep the fierce cold wind out.

It didn't take long for the cold wind to become everyone's confidant—the main theme of this miserable and bleak night. Because this is not an ordinary wind, not just cold and biting, but a kind of madness and rage that surrounds them, like an art master screaming and indulging in his own world. The wind was blowing so hard that the planes were warped, and it shook them viciously. Campbell looked out the window and saw that the hellish wind seemed to sweep away the light of the stars.

A few people were lying there, it was getting dark, the cabin was dark, and the place was so cramped and limited, Campbell had to polish a few matches, at this time, Carolin fumbled with her small satchel, and carefully took out a bottle, "I don't know if this thing will be of some use to you." She smiled and said, "I haven't touched a drop myself, but I always carry it with me just in case, and now we're one of the thousands, right?" ”
