Chapter 1674 The enemy is coming
Chen Kangjie's idea was to cross the Hindu Kush Mountains from a pass on the west side of Noxak Peak to a small town called Nao, and there was a simple road from Nao to Fazabad, the capital of Badakhshan.
Knowing all this, Chen Kangjie benefited from the map that Pang Hui accidentally obtained. Otherwise, he would not have known this. It was that map that he knew that the snow-covered mountain that he had discussed with Xiong Ziqiang before was Noxac Peak.
There is no road from Haruni to Nao. Chen Kangjie and the others have to rely on themselves to find directions. The most difficult thing is to cross the mountain pass more than 4,000 meters.
In these big mountains on the plateau, the straight-line distance between the mountains is not far, but it takes several hours or even a day to climb over. Although it is not easy to hike dozens of kilometers in the plains alone, it can still be done. However, it takes a long time to cross mountains and ridges in the plateau to cross straight lines for dozens of kilometers, and the process is painful, and there is no road in the middle.
Chen Kangjie and others have good physical fitness, but they traveled a long distance in high-altitude areas with thin air and under the pressure of pursuing soldiers, and everyone has a hard time walking. This includes Chen Kangjie himself. These mountains are not all stone mountains, but there are few trees on the mountain. The higher the height, the less vegetation and shorter it is. Some places are directly soft sand. When people step on it, they will collapse back and slide back. They need to use more strength and the frequency of steps to get over it.
"We are tired... they probably won't be much better than us. Everyone insists on it. After passing the ridge in front, we will find a place to rest with the leeward." Chen Kangjie grabbed the tail of the horse that Wang Wei rode, climbed up a low ridge, and said gasping.
During the action, they were not afraid of the whistling cold wind. Exercise made everyone feel hot and even sweaty. However, once they stopped, if they were not in a leeward environment, the low temperature and the raging cold wind would be very biting, and in half an hour it would make a person's whole body stiff and he would be unable to move.
In this high-altitude mountainous area that has not been polluted much from industrial pollution, the air is very clean and the light penetrates very strongly. Although the temperature on the cold ground is biting, looking up, the thousands of stars in the sky are clear and bright when the clouds float by. Chen Kangjie and the others judge their own route through the direction of the Big Dipper in the air.
It took them more than three hours to climb over this mountain that did not look tall and majestic. Perhaps it was because they were standing on the mountain. Otherwise, from a distance, the mountain they crossed was actually similar to the legendary giant monster.
It was already four o'clock at night. In a U-shaped depression washed by rain, they finally found a safe haven. They were trapped and exhausted, so they could no longer hold on. They could only take a rest. If they continued to move forward, even horses would not be able to stand it.
Physically, everyone has reached the limit, but even so, for safety, people have to be arranged to stand guard.
"You all hurry up and take a break, I'll stand guard tonight." As the leader and the best physical fitness, Chen Kangjie volunteered to take on this role.
In the past, Chen Kangjie didn't understand why these locals not only like to wrap cloths on their heads, but even wrap their faces with cloth. His supervisor thought that it was simply related to local customs or religion. Now they really understand, because he wrapped his entire face with cloth at this moment, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. This is actually due to objective geographical reasons. There are very winds and sand here, and wrapping them with cloth can effectively prevent the mouth and nose from being attacked by sand. Moreover, the local temperature is not high, wrapping with cloth is also a way to keep warm, so as not to expose the skin to the wet and cold air.
Samidov pulled his heavy body up from the ground, "Mr. Jie, I'll be on duty tonight. You're very tired, you can rest."
"In order to take care of Alyosha, you work harder than us. You should stop being arrogant. You must rest well. Alyosha will depend on you tomorrow. I am young and in good health and can withstand it." Chen Kangjie put a spare leather jacket on his body again, pressed Samidov down and said.
"Mr. Jie, I'll do it, you go and rest..." Pang Hui volunteered bravely.
"Forget it, stop fighting, just decide like that. Obey the order. We don't have much time to rest, at most three hours, and two hours are not necessarily the case. Don't waste your time, hurry up, Jarril, give me some water and dry food." After Chen Kangjie made arbitrary decision, he greeted Jarril, who had fallen into a pool of mud.
Chen Kangjie is very strong when he becomes strong. He does this not to show off his heroes or to show his concern and concern for his subordinates. He is actually very tired, but as he himself said, he just feels that he is relatively more able to withstand it. He is the youngest, a young man in his twenties, and has the best physical fitness, thanks to his childhood martial arts foundation. Others, no matter who persists for a few hours, will become weak and weak tomorrow. To a certain extent, it will affect the progress of their group of people, because it is impossible to leave anyone behind.
Chen Kangjie had already made the final decision, and the others no longer fought. After Jarrier gave Chen Kangjie water and dry food, Chen Kangjie went out to watch at a height of 300 meters away, while the others seized time to rest and replenish their energy.
Before rebirth, Chen Kangjie would never dare to stand alone on this silent and vast mountain. Even if he was an atheist at that time, the boundless darkness and a little bit of wind and movement would still make him frightened and depressed. The inner fear of his own would insert the scenes in the horror films he had watched around, making him even more afraid.
However, Chen Kangjie didn't feel afraid at all now. All the strange powers and chaos could not enter his heart. The only thing he couldn't stand now was the soreness of his muscles and the cold aggravated by the wind blowing through the humid air.
Chen Kangjie found a stone and sat down, twisted the kettle and took a sip of ice water that stimulated his throat, and then took the cup of frozen hard cake and started to chew it. He could not sit still, and he had to find something to do, otherwise, the sleepy attack would cause him to fall down, and it would be very dangerous to fall down at this time, and it is very likely that he would turn into a hard dead branch after dawn.
Eating and drinking enough did not make Chen Kangjie more energetic. Instead, the sleepy attacks caused by fatigue made him feel a little unbearable. Seeing that the sky was not going to light up in a short period of time, Chen Kangjie knew that it was still early before dawn. The dual factors of time zone and altitude would make it at least two hours later than the cities in China.
He supported his knees and stood up from the cold stone with difficulty. Inadvertently, he touched the collar of his cotton jacket, which was hard, and twisted it with his fingers, creaking. It turned out that when he encountered snow, the wet collar was frozen into ice. Chen Kangjie crushed the ice and stood up and moved his body quickly. He could not sit anymore, but don’t be popsicles, that would be a tragedy.
Chen Kangjie had only done two squats and heard the crisp sound of a stone sliding down behind him.
Chen Kangjie, who was startled, hurriedly lay on the ground, pushed the muzzle in front, and turned to the direction that made a sound. After a while, he saw a figure approaching with his body.
"Who." Chen Kangjie lowered his voice and cried. If it weren't for considering that his companion was nearby not far away, Chen Kangjie might have fired without warning. Of course, if the other party could not give him a positive response, he would have fired, because it was very likely that the enemy was touching the pathfinder from other directions.
"It's me, it's me, Young Master Jie." Xiong Ziqiang's voice came from the opposite side.
Chen Kangjie got up and said, "What are you doing? I almost shot you and killed you."
"Haha, I don't want to sacrifice myself in your hands. Mr. Jie, I'll take over you. You go down and take a break." Xiong Ziqiang smiled and approached.
"Didn't I say I'll come tonight? Why are you still..."
"Hey, no one is a tough guy. Everyone takes turns to take a break. It's a good thing for the team. Okay, I've come, you go down and I'll take over you."
Chen Kangjie looked at his watch and the light green needle told him that it was just an hour since he was on duty. Xiong Ziqiang had come. He was really sleepy and stopped insisting. He returned to the simple open-air camp where he was leeing, and he fell asleep in the end. At this sleep, Chen Kangjie felt comfortable sleeping on any luxurious bed before, and he even had several dreams.
In the dream, many familiar people appeared like movies, including Li Tingyan, Ma Wei, Liu Jie, Fan Xuexi, etc. He even dreamed of ghosts that he hadn't seen for several years.
In the last dream, he dreamed that he returned home and celebrated the New Year with his whole family. After having a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, others watched the Spring Festival Gala, but he took Xu Yan from his elder sister's house to the side of the road outside to set off firecrackers and fireworks. Around him were children wearing new clothes and running to set off firecrackers. One of them lit a long string of firecrackers and then dragged them dangerously behind him, as if he was being chased by the crackling crackles.
"Boom", suddenly, Xu Yan lit a firework beside her, which scared Chen Kangjie.
Chen Kangjie was about to teach Xu Yan and the dangerous child to pay attention to safety while playing, but he was woken up by a man.
"Mr. Jie, get up quickly, get up quickly, the enemy is coming."
