The night in the no-man's land is extremely dark, darker than anywhere else.
Except for the light around the camp, the rest of the place was so dark that it made people feel suffocated and oppressive.
Humans are naturally uneasy and afraid of darkness, and vision is obstructed at night.
In addition, this is an uninhabited area, and when the girls think of various ferocious beasts such as wild wolves and wild yaks, they subconsciously lean towards the boys.
After everyone packed up their things, they sat down and chatted.
The girls took off their gloves, each holding a thermos cup filled with hot water in the county town.
"Let's go to bed early today and get enough rest. Tomorrow's journey will be difficult~" Meng Wenzhou said to everyone.
"What terrain will we cover tomorrow?" Gao Yue asked.
Liu Bo took out his cell phone and opened the memo to take a look.
"Tomorrow we will first have to cross the glacial valley. The ice on the riverbed is probably melted at this time of year, so it might be difficult to walk."
"After crossing the river valley, we will reach the volcanic gully. We need to cross the volcanic gully and then reach the most difficult part of tomorrow's journey: the red soil daban."
"What kind of terrain is Red Earth Daban?"
Liu Bo explained: "It's actually a very long uphill section, but there are many rocks there. It's over 5,400 meters above sea level. Because the ground is all red soil, it's called Red Soil Daban. We need to cross this place tomorrow."
"That doesn't sound too difficult~"
"Hey, hearing about it is different from actually driving there. There are rock formations there, all kinds of big rocks. I'm worried whether we can drive through it tomorrow."
After Liu Bo finished speaking, Meng Wenzhou added: "It's not a big deal. Many people have done it before, even some commercial vehicles. It's easy for us to do it. It just requires some driving skills."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What time is it now?" Meng Qianyu asked.
Meng Wenzhou glanced at his watch: "Half past nine."
"It's still early. I'm just worried that wolves might come over at night."
"What are you afraid of sleeping in the car? Can a wolf open a car door?"
"It can be opened~" Zhong Qing covered her mouth and smiled.
Several boys looked confused: "How do we open it?"
"Perverts can open ~"
Boys: “…”
"Damn, I was just wondering how a wolf could open a car door, but it turns out to be a cold joke. We are not perverts." Zhang Ziming laughed.
"Haha, just kidding."
"It's definitely safe for us to sleep in the car, but will it be dangerous for you to sleep in the tent?" Meng Qianyu asked.
Liu Bo patted his chest and smiled confidently: "Haha, Qianyu, don't worry about us. With Brother Yang and I here, as long as it's not a mutant werewolf, nothing will happen."
"I think it's a bit dangerous for you to sleep in a tent." Tang Ziyun also said.
"So what should we do? We only have three cars, and each car can only accommodate two people. We can only sleep in tents to protect your safety~"
"Don't worry, just have a good rest tonight and don't think about anything. We boys are tough and will be fine~"
"Okay."
We chatted for another half an hour. As the temperature dropped rapidly, thick white mist could be exhaled when we spoke.
The girls couldn't sit still anymore, so they stood up and washed themselves with mineral water, then ran to the back of the slope to relieve themselves.
The boys cleaned up the car, folded down the front and rear seats and laid out air mattresses, and then the girls got in to rest.
Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu slept in Su Yang's car, Tang Ziyun and Su Qingci slept in Meng Wenzhou's car, and Zhong Qing and Gao Yue slept in Liu Bo's car.
Because the three people's cars are all gasoline cars, turning on the air conditioner all night will produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, which is not good for the body even if the windows are opened for ventilation.
Moreover, if you turn on the air conditioner while the gasoline car is idling, the engine will be very noisy and consume a lot of fuel.
So everyone prepared a few portable car heaters before coming, but when using this kind of heater in the car, you also need to open the windows a little for ventilation.
Pan Ning lowered the car window and looked at Su Yang: "What time do you plan to go to bed?"
"It will probably take a while~"
"Then come and help us turn down the heater before you go to bed. It's too cold now. I'll let it blow a little longer."
Su Yang made an OK gesture: "Okay, go to sleep."
Several girls went to bed with their clothes on and covered with thick quilts.
Su Yang and his companions sat by the tent and smoked.
"Huh~ I can't smoke anymore. I feel a little breathless." Ji Bo put out the cigarette.
"Me too. I'm not smoking anymore." Chu Qiunan also put out his cigarette.
Su Yang didn't feel anything at all. Smoking here or in Haicheng was the same to him.
Liu Bo and Meng Wenzhou didn't feel anything either.
Several people turned off the lights in their cars and sat beside their respective tents. At this time, no other sound could be heard except the whistling wind.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the six people also went into the tent to rest.
At this time, the temperature has dropped to about minus seven or eight degrees Celsius.
Except for Su Yang, all the people in the tent crawled into thick sleeping bags and used all kinds of warming equipment.
The cold wind grew stronger at night. Although everyone was at the bottom of the slope and there were three cars blocking the way on the other side, the wind still made the tent rustle.
Listening to it from inside the tent, it felt like the tent was about to be blown away.
Huahuahua——
Su Yang lay on the mat and opened his mobile phone to take a look. There was no signal. It was a bit difficult to watch Douyin in the uninhabited area of more than 5,000 meters.
He shook his head and unzipped the tent and walked towards the car.
When I arrived at the rear door of Cullinan, the window glass was already covered with a layer of white frost.
Su Yang gently opened the car door, and a gentle warm breeze immediately rushed to his face.
I peeked in and saw that Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu were already asleep.
Su Yang turned the heater to the lowest setting. When fully charged, it would be enough to last for six or seven hours.
After finishing, he gently closed the car door.
A gust of cold wind blew on his right cheek, and Su Yang suddenly sensed something. He quickly turned his head to look at the top of the slope.
In the dark night, he saw a pair of green eyes staring at him.
