After receiving Cai Jun's call, I immediately told everyone here that the Zhao family was coming.

Wang Junhui was the first to speak, he said: "We must not let the people of the Zhao family take the lead, if necessary, we can give up this drill and go directly to climb Gongga Mountain." ”

After speaking, Wang Junhui looked at Hall, who was our leader before climbing. So Wang Junhui needs to win Hall's opinion.

Hall thought for a moment and said, "I am good friends with Kuang, I naturally don't want his things to fail, if it is time for me to agree with Mr. Wang's suggestion, we need to take risks." ”

The last two men looked at me.

Obviously, in their eyes, I am also one of the decision-makers of this team, and I also have a veto power.

After thinking for a while, I nodded and said, "Just do what you say." ”

Today we are preparing to go to the drill, and after receiving the news that the Zhao family entered Hailuogou, we temporarily changed our itinerary.

The person sent by Cai Jun to bring us equipment came with me, carrying a large amount of equipment on his back, and walked directly north, to the depths of this snowy mountain.

Although we have been in Hailuogou for several days, we can enter the depths of the snow-capped mountains. We still feel a little uncomfortable, thick mountaineering suits, assault suits on the body, making the whole person's activities extremely cumbersome.

Even so, we can still feel the cold attacking.

I had no choice but to use the phase qi and let the phase qi wander between each phase door, which can generate some heat, which can help me keep out the cold to a certain extent.

But after all, I'm just a small phase master of the Yellow Rank Fifth Rank Qi, and the heat created by the phase qi is negligible, and the effect is not very large.

On the contrary, Wang Junhui and Qin Guang looked much better, they were both people with higher Dao deeds, and they used the Dao Qi on their bodies to keep out the cold. It shouldn't be that hard.

As for Hall, he seemed to be used to this kind of cold, and he behaved naturally.

The rest of the people looked like they were all frozen and wilted, but Cai Jun found those people who delivered equipment to us, fortunately, they were all strong, although the spirit did not seem so good, but they still bit to help us transport the equipment to the foot of the northeast of Gongga Mountain.

Although the terrain in the northwest is gentle, it is easier to climb, but it takes too long, while in the northeast, the terrain is steeper than in the northwest, which is much better than in the southeast, and the distance is shorter.

So let's take a more compromised route.

In fact, a few of us can carry those equipment to the foot of this mountain ourselves. The reason why Cai Jun's people helped us was just to save the physical strength we needed when climbing the mountain.

When we got to the bottom of the mountain, we didn't start climbing immediately, but opted for a short period of recuperation and some simple exploration work beforehand.

These jobs were all done by Hall and Qin Guang.

Standing at the foot of this Gongga Mountain, I am already a little dizzy. Because of the snow-capped mountain in front of us, there is no road to walk at all, and it is difficult to find a suitable path for us to climb up the uneven peaks formed by countless snow.

When Hall and Qin Guang were doing simple exploration work, we also looked around briefly, but everyone here didn't dare to speak loudly, because a big disaster that needed to be guarded against in Gongga Mountain was an avalanche.

Once we have an avalanche, it's okay to be down the mountain. If we were to be hit by an avalanche in the middle of the process, our chances of survival would be close to zero.

We have also read a lot of information here these days, and we also know that there are more than a dozen recorded mountaineering operations in the Gongga Mountain area, and there are countless unrecorded, but most of those actions ended in fiasco, and even some people's bones are still buried somewhere in the snow peak, and they cannot be found.

We didn't find any special circumstances at the foot of the mountain, and we didn't find any traces of the Zhao family's group, either they had just arrived in the Gongga Mountain area, or they chose to climb to the top from the northwest, which was not the same road as us.

After about half an hour, Hall and Qin Guang returned, and Hall said that they had found the path taken by the previous mountaineering team, and in order to reduce the difficulty, we would copy the path they walked to climb the mountain.

Hall's memory is also very good, he has wanted to climb Gongga Mountain for some years, he has consulted a lot of information over the years, looked at a lot of photos and video materials, although he has not personally climbed Gongga Mountain, but every climbing route he has firmly remembered in his heart.

We divided our equipment and the group of six was ready to start climbing.

Hall bore the brunt of the front, followed by Wang Junhui, followed by Li Yajing and Xu Ruohui, and Qin Guang and I walked last.

All six of us had the same rope tied around our waists, mainly to prevent one person from stumbling and the others from pulling him back.

Because of the physical condition of the people of us, Hall slowed down a lot at first, but even so, walking on this steep snowy peak, we were tired and out of breath after a while.

Especially Li Yajing and Xu Ruohui.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the rabbit fish, it should be the most relaxed one among us, it doesn't need Xu Ruohui to hold it anymore, it is not afraid of the cold, but seems to enjoy the snow very much, walk a few steps, and stop to roll a few times.

If I hadn't ordered it not to jump around, it would probably have run to the front and lead the way for us instead of Hall.

However, the most taboo thing about this snow-capped mountain is to jump and jump around, and if it accidentally gives us a whole avalanche, then we people will be tragic.

We climbed for about half an hour, and I couldn't help but look back, only to find that we hadn't advanced much at all, and the tall Gongga Mountain was still in front of us, and we were going to conquer him, which seemed to be a bit of a fool's dream.

I don't know why, after climbing the mountain for half an hour, my confidence in my heart has weakened a lot.

To be sure, we didn't have any difficulties in the first half hour, but why did I become so unconfident in myself without any difficulties?

After another five minutes of walking, I looked back a few times and saw that we had only taken a few steps forward, and at that moment, I heard Hall's voice coming from the headset of the walkie-talkie we were carrying: "Everyone, stop, something is wrong." ”

After stopping, Hall asked me to take a look from the end of the line to the top, I climbed up along the rope in the snow nest, and when I passed Xu Ruohui's side, I asked her about her situation, she was panting very much, and nodded to me in the whirring wind, indicating that it was okay.

When he got to Hall's side, he pointed to a row of footprints on the ground and said, "This footprint is new, and suddenly it appeared halfway up the mountain, something is wrong." ”

I looked at the footprints, which were not big, more like the footprints of a woman, and there were two trekking pole marks next to the footprints, that is, the woman was climbing up with trekking poles.

We looked around, and there was no sign of anyone climbing up from anywhere, except for our one.

And judging by that row of fresh footprints, she is alone.

A person suddenly appeared halfway up the mountain out of thin air, which was a little unbelievable.

I looked at Wang Junhui, meaning to ask him if this was left by dirty things.

But Wang Junhui looked at the footprints and didn't speak for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but ask him directly what he thought of these footprints.

Only then did he speak: "First year of junior high school, can you find the residual life qi on these footprints?"

I shook my head and said I couldn't see it.

Although these footprints look like they are newly left, I can't see any residual life on these footprints, even if they are ghosts or corpses, they also have life on them, if they leave footprints, then there is no reason why there is no life left.

Unless these footprints have been left for many days.

I expressed the doubts in my heart, Wang Junhui nodded and said: "The situation I see here is the same as yours, if it is a person, more or less, there will be some residual gas, I looked at it from this footprint, there is no popularity, not even yin qi, corpse qi is not felt, if according to the inference of the information we have now, the thing that left this footprint is not a person, not a ghost, and not a corpse."

But these are obviously humanoid footprints, and if these are discharged, then what will it be?

This row of footprints completely confused us.

After a while, Hall said that the footprints were going up the mountain, and that we might find something if we followed them, and that there was no reason for us to hold back because of a row of footprints.

Wang Junhui and I also nodded at the same time.

We continued to climb up, and as we climbed, Hall told us some stories about the mountain that we hadn't heard on the intercom before.

The protagonist of the story is none other than Hall's father, who came here with a private mountaineering team in the seventies, and he chose this route in the northeast.

Only Hall's father survived that climb, and when they were halfway through, all the team members disappeared inexplicably, and their bodies have not been found.

And before the team disappeared, they found the same strange footprints of climbers as we did, but they found them halfway up the mountain, and we were close to the bottom of the mountain.

Hearing Hall say that, I couldn't help but ask him why he didn't say it in the morning

This is an extremely important piece of information for us.

Hall's voice with the sound of the wind suddenly "hehe" laughed dryly: "Because I'm afraid that if I talk about the danger here, you won't come, you are too adventurous, but now it seems that none of you are cowards." ”

Hearing Hall's explanation, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

If he had said it earlier, we would have been on guard, and he said it now, it was a little too late, because we were already on the same path of death that Hall's father had taken more than thirty years ago.

Wang Junhui asked Hall what his father had been through and whether he had told him in detail.

Hall said his father died in his hospital bed more than six months after returning home, but before he died, he wrote a reminiscence of the climb, detailing the horrors and strange things that happened to them when they began to climb.

Hearing Hall say this, we naturally urged him to tell us about it quickly.
