The group rested in this village for two or three days, regained their strength, found a guide, and then set off again.
The guide's name is Shunzi.
Shunzi had lived here for a while before and knew the situation on the snow-capped mountains very well.
During these years, I also made a living by serving as a guide for people who came here to travel.
It is worth mentioning that ten years ago, Shunzi's father once led a group of people deep into the mountains, but in the end he failed to come back.
Hu Ming knew that the group led by Shunzi's father ten years ago was actually Chen Wenjin and his group who escaped from the Golmud Sanatorium in Qingdao Province.
After discussing the price with Shunzi, the matter was settled, the equipment was sorted, and a lot of things were bought according to Shunzi's requirements. A total of fourteen horses headed deep into the forest.
Changbai Mountain is really beautiful. Although the climate here is harsh, a large number of people still come here for sightseeing every year.
It is winter now, the wind and snow are changing, and the conditions on the mountains are basically the same every day.
Under the leadership of Shunzi, the group of people followed the workers' mountain path in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
About four hours later, we arrived at Girl Lake.
In order to make Shunzi believe that they were indeed tourists, the group even took photos by the lake.
In response, Hu Ming just laughed secretly and said nothing more.
You know, about a month ago, Wu Sansheng had entered Yunding Tiangong in advance.
On the eve of departure, Shunzi was asked to give Wu Xie a message on how to enter the underground palace.
When she met Wu Xie, Shunzi had long since disbelieved that they were simply traveling.
After passing Girl Lake, the rest of the journey became increasingly difficult.
Not long after, everyone was walking on a slope of about 60 degrees.
When the sky began to darken, Nuoda Girl Lake was only as big as a small pool in the sight of Hu Ming and others.
At this time, taking advantage of their superior position, everyone discovered that a large team appeared at the lakeside.
"It seems we are lucky. We can meet old acquaintances in such a ghost place."
Hu Ming picked up the telescope and looked over, raised the corners of his mouth, and whistled.
That's Aning.
When Wu Xie and others who were riding forward heard this, they took out their binoculars and looked over.
Aning's team consisted of about thirty people. At this time, they were setting up tents and setting up camp by the lake.
Obviously, they plan to spend the night by the lake tonight
To be honest, the environment by the lake is much more comfortable than Hu Ming and his friends' current environment.
"I go!"
Wu Xie couldn't help but curse secretly.
He couldn't help but think of the message Baldhead brought to him from Wu Sansheng when he was in Changsha City.
In Wu Xie's inference, the enemies Wu Sansheng wanted to delay were probably the people from the ship fishing company.
However, what Wu Xie didn't know was that the enemies Wu Sansheng wanted to delay were not just those who took the football ethics test.
"Trouble, those people are fully armed and equipped with firearms."
"God knows how they got guns. It's not easy to get guns these days, let alone such a large number of weapons."
"Why don't we have the manpower to compare with them? We can't even compare with the weapons. They can play with guns, but we can play with engineer shovels and knives?"
"How the hell are you still playing this!"
The fat man observed more carefully and cursed repeatedly in frustration.
Those thirty or so people, each with an assault rifle behind their back, made the fat man jealous.
"You have to know that this is a border area. There is nothing we can do at home, but there are many ways abroad."
"Either, it's probably like registering a legal security company."
"And you can't use public transportation all the way... It seems that the mysterious disappearance of their people last time was a warning for them."
Hu Ming smiled lightly.
Not to mention that it is difficult to have a conflict with Aning and the others during this trip. Even if it is a conflict, thirty people and thirty guns?
It's not impossible to solve it.
It just becomes more difficult.
"Let's go, we still have to find a place to camp before night falls completely, but we don't have time to watch them complain."
Putting away the binoculars, the group continued to set off.
Chen Pi's people and Hu Ming's group are two small groups.
In the discussion just now, both groups avoided each other.
Shunzi, on the other hand, was even more excluded by two small groups.
Continuing to climb up the mountain, when it finally got completely dark, everyone saw some dilapidated wooden houses.
"This is the supply station for the Snow Mountain Outpost War. Later, several stations here were moved to different places, and this place was abandoned."
"After we climb above the snow line, there will still be several deserted outposts there, and we may need to go there to rest."
Pointing to the dilapidated house, Shunzi dutifully introduced it to everyone as a guide.
Today, Hu Ming and others are still below the snow line, far from reaching the area that has been frozen for thousands of years.
After simply replenishing food and water, everyone rested early and got up early the next morning to continue their journey.
After continuing to climb for about half a day, we had already crossed the snow line.
As the journey continues, the surrounding environment changes drastically.
All kinds of vegetation have begun to become sparse, the surrounding snow is getting thicker and thicker, and there are more and more randomly piled stones.
Hu Ming knew that these were traces of the major projects that were carried out on Sansheng Mountain.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, especially in places with harsh climate and environment like the Changbai Mountains. It was very difficult to transport raw materials.
Using local materials is the best choice.
At noon, everywhere as far as the eye could see was buried under a thick layer of snow.
When we got here, there was no road to speak of. We relied on Shunzi, who was familiar with the mountain topography, to open the way ahead.
After finding a fairly open place, the group stopped to rest temporarily.
"Uncle Ming, what are you looking at? Why don't you take a few sips to warm yourself up? This damn weather is going to kill you."
"Fat Master, I can't stop you with my amazing body!"
The fat man took a sip of the liquor he carried with him, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and looked at Hu Ming, who was standing alone and looking at the compass in a daze, and shouted.
"I didn't see anything..."
Hu Ming smiled, put away the compass, took the wine bottle handed over by the fat man, and took a sip to dispel the permeating chill.
Hu Ming has been paying attention to the compass since he crossed the snow line.
About two hours ago, no matter how they changed directions, the north compass, which was 90 degrees clockwise due east, was always locked on a snow-capped mountain hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance.
In other words, they are not far from Genting Heavenly Palace.
