Chapter 204 Fortunately, the expert was not killed
Several people drove to the airport in a seven-seater commercial vehicle.
In the dark night, meteors streaked across the sky, and a black luxurious Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle sped along a deserted road.
Half an hour before boarding, everyone successfully boarded the plane.
Rescuing wild animals has always been complicated. No one knew how many sleepless days would follow, so after getting on the plane, the wildlife protection team tacitly agreed to catch up on their sleep.
It was two and a half hours later when we got off the plane.
The group rented a seven-seater commercial vehicle at the airport and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lao Qi had sent them an hour and a half later.
But not long after everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lao Qi called.
As soon as the call was connected, Lao Qi's voice was a little hurried: "Ms. Si, there was an accident. Just five minutes ago, Baihu suddenly rushed out and knocked down one of my colleagues, but did not hurt him. Instead, he ran away after knocking him down."
"And we all saw it holding a white tiger cub in its mouth. The people at the rescue station said that the white tiger must be wary of humans because there were cubs in the cave and its foot was injured. It knew it couldn't protect the cubs, so it was so wary of humans."
When Si Ran heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Things are getting complicated.
"I understand. I'll go meet up with you guys first."
The Qinling Mountains connect the Kunlun Mountains and the Huai River, and are the master of all mountains. People from the Forestry Bureau spend most of the year in the mountains and are familiar with the road conditions.
The colleague from the Forestry Bureau who was supposed to lead the way had not arrived yet, so Si Ran and Lin Sui Ye simply drove to a nearby village to buy a large amount of supplies.
After the purchase was completed, colleagues from the Forestry Bureau finally arrived.
The colleague from the Forestry Bureau said guiltily, "Sorry, the road was icy and the car broke down a little on the way. I kept you waiting."
Si Ran said it was okay.
Several people went up the mountain with their equipment. This colleague from the Forestry Bureau was in his early forties and was called Brother Li. He only carried a waterproof schoolbag when he went up the mountain. He said that he bought it for his children when they were in school.
There are also clothes and pants, which are also unknown brands.
Compared with the well-dressed trip of Si Ran and others, one is in heaven and the other is on earth.
But Brother Li was obviously already familiar with the surroundings, and he would occasionally talk about nearby attractions while on the road.
"There's a flat area on the mountain ahead called Baxiantai. However, it's winter in Province D, and the altitude is high, so taking the cable car is very dangerous. If something goes wrong, rescue will be very difficult, so it's not open to the public."
"But the place we're walking in is an uninhabited area. Ordinary people are not allowed to come up here except for staff."
Brother Li paused and said, "Over the past few decades, many of our colleagues have lost their lives just for this safe route, so you must not fall behind..."
Brother Li turned his head and saw that except for Si Ran and Song Zhi, the rest of the boys were leaning against the pine tree trunks next to them to breathe oxygen.
Brother Li: ???
Is people’s physical fitness so poor nowadays?
Looking at the little girl whose face was not red and whose heart was not beating fast, and who was even breathing slightly, Brother Li's face changed.
Lin Suiye and others felt Brother Li's gaze, which seemed to be unable to stop talking. They felt so bitter in their hearts that they didn't know how to open their mouths.
Si Ran once told them that since she had the system, her physical fitness had become at least ten times stronger than before. Even after she fell off the elephant's back, Si Ran fully recovered in less than half a month, without even leaving a scar.
Not to mention Song Zhi, whose family has been in the military for generations. He was sent to a Boy Scout training camp by his father when he was five years old, joined the army at the age of eighteen, joined the South China Special Forces at the age of twenty, and became a soldier king at the age of twenty-one. If he had not been injured during a mission and forced to retire, and then met Si Ran, they might never see such a big man in their lives.
Look at them again. Although they are in the wild all year round, they used to exercise in the high-altitude area of Hoh Xil, but they were worried about altitude sickness so they exercised less, and their daily life mainly focused on observing snow leopards.
One uses cheats, the other has been a martial artist since childhood, how can they compare?
Brother Li had no idea what they were thinking. Seeing their faces flush, he shook his head and sighed, "Hey, guys, you still need to train hard in the future, otherwise you won't be able to run when you encounter danger."
Lin Suiye and others were so embarrassed that they wanted to explain but didn't know how.
Si Ran and Song Zhi smiled slightly beside them.
He even nodded in agreement with Brother Li's words, "Brother Ye, Brother Li is right. I think everyone should exercise well."
Lin Suiye: ...
In order to prove that they could do it, several people held their breath and did not fall behind.
But after walking for five hours, Ji Zhishi was the first to give up.
He lay on a big rock, breathing weakly: "Brother, Brother Li, how long will it take us to get there? I really can't hold on any longer."
This is a wild road, and the further you go in, the deeper the snow becomes.
Even Brother Li put on thick knee pads an hour ago.
Brother Li also began to breathe slightly at this time: "It will take at least two hours to get to Lao Qi's location. How about this, everyone rest here for a while and eat something to replenish your energy."
After a pause, Brother Li said, "But you can't rest for too long. If you rest for too long, your body will get cold and the risk of hypothermia will increase."
Everyone rested there for about ten minutes.
The few of them ate two compressed biscuits and chocolate, and then drank a sip of hot water that had been prepared in the village in advance to warm their bodies and ensure that they would not get cold.
After a good rest, everyone continued on their journey.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the base camp.
Lao Qi saw the figures of several people from a distance and hurried forward: "Brother Li, are the experts here?"
Brother Li tilted his body to let Lao Qi see the wildlife protection team who were as tired as dead dogs.
The seventh brother quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you all for coming all this way. You must be tired. We have prepared ginger tea for everyone to ward off the cold."
Lao Qi admired this group of experts from the bottom of his heart. The Qinling Mountains were so difficult to travel in winter. It would take them at least sixteen hours to take this route, but this group of people only got through it in eight hours.
admire!
Then, Lao Qi suddenly thought of something and looked at Brother Li in horror. He asked quietly, "Brother Li, didn't you let the experts take a break during the process?"
Brother Li looked innocent: "Didn't you call and say the situation was urgent and asked me to bring the experts up quickly? And I let them rest for fifteen minutes."
Lao Qi’s eyes turned dark.
Is fifteen minutes considered a break?
"Brother Li, how can you be so honest? Not everyone is like you. You've been walking this route with Uncle Li since you were a child. It's been over 30 years, and you've walked it hundreds of times! But he's different. Even for us, it takes us twelve hours at our fastest!"
Lao Qi patted his chest, looked at the trembling legs of the Wild Protection Team, and patted his chest slightly.
Fortunately, the person is still alive.
