Hearing Ji Bo's call, Su Yang immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Bo's voice rustled through the intercom: "The meter shows that my left front tire pressure is too low, only 1.6."
"Could it be a puncture?" Meng Wenzhou's voice also sounded.
"I don't know. Let me get off the car and take a look."
"Okay, stop the car first."
Several people quickly stopped the car, Su Yang opened the door, got out and walked towards the navigator not far ahead.
At this time, Liu Bo was squatting beside the left front wheel checking.
"How about it?"
"I looked around and didn't find any punctures, but now it's leaking."
"Let me take a look." Su Yang said as he squatted down to check.
I saw that the part of the left front tire that was in contact with the ground was almost flat, and there was a hissing sound of air leaking from the place where the tire connected to the wheel hub.
After looking around, Su Yang found that a stone was stuck in the gap between the tire and the wheel hub, which caused the tire to leak.
"It's not a big deal, there's just a stone stuck in the middle."
"Where is the card? Why can't I see it?"
"Inside this gap, wait a minute, I'll get the tools to hook it out." Su Yang said as he stood up and returned to his car.
Meng Wenzhou and his companions followed and asked, "What's going on? Did you get a flat tire?"
"No, no, there's a stone stuck, just pick it out~"
"Oh, I'm glad it didn't blow out. Otherwise, changing a tire at an altitude of over 5,300 meters would be a bit troublesome."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Su Yang came to Liu Bo's car with a tool for hooking stones. He squatted down and quickly hooked out the stone stuck in the gap.
"Done, just a little more air."
As he spoke, he picked up a portable car air pump from the ground and inflated the left front wheel.
The tire pressure returned to normal after a few minutes.
"alright."
"Okay, okay, I thought the tire was punctured or burst." Liu Bo said with a smile.
"With a flat tire, your car won't stop so smoothly, but it's not a big deal. At most, you can just change a tire. It's a small matter. Let's go."
"Let's go~"
Everyone returned to the car and continued driving towards the dirt slope a few hundred meters away.
Soon, three cars came to the bottom of the slope and stopped. Su Yang stuck his head out and shouted to the Range Rover on the left: "This is it~"
"Ok, get off and set up camp~"
"Wait a moment." Su Yang looked up and checked the direction, then he shouted, "Let's form a semicircle with the cars, and leave a piece of open space. This way, in addition to this slope being able to block the wind, the cars can also barely block it."
"Okay~"
Soon the three cars formed a large open space horizontally, and everyone got out.
Chu Qiunan stretched and said, "It's so cold here~"
"Yeah, it's probably going to drop below zero by tonight, and it'll be windy."
The girls had already put on a few more layers of clothing and changed into thick windbreakers and boots.
"Ugh~Aqiu!" Meng Qianyu sneezed as soon as she got out of the car.
"Have you caught a cold?" Meng Wenzhou asked.
“No, no~”
"That's good, put on more clothes."
"I'm already wearing enough~"
Meng Wenzhou said this as he walked over to Meng Qianyu and pulled out the hat that was caught behind her clothes.
"If you're cold, put on your hat."
"Not now~"
"Okay."
On the other side, Su Yang took out a few pairs of leather gloves and distributed them to the girls. "Come on, put on your gloves. This is truly a no-man's land. Let's try not to catch a cold, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable."
"Okay~" Several girls agreed and took the gloves.
Liu Bo, Zhang Ziming and others ran to the slope to take a look. At first glance, there was nothing but vast sandy land and continuous snow-capped mountains on the horizon. It was like they had arrived on an alien planet.
Desolation and loneliness are vividly displayed here.
"This is the no-man's land!! The no-man's land we've been longing for!" Liu Bo opened his hands and shouted, feeling the biting cold wind in the no-man's land.
Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou also walked up the slope and turned their heads to look around 360 degrees.
"Huh~ I never thought that one day I would find myself in such a deserted place." Zhang Ziming smiled.
"Yes, there is no village within a radius of 200 kilometers where we are now," Meng Wenzhou replied.
"Having said that, I don't know why, but I'm really excited inside!" Liu Bo was visibly happy.
As he spoke, he took out cigarettes and distributed them, asking everyone to have one no matter how high the altitude was.
"Can the lighter here light it?" Ji Bo asked as he took the cigarette.
"It definitely won't light up with an ordinary lighter, but I have other tools. How can I be troubled by a fire?" Liu Bo smiled and took out the plateau lighter he had bought in Gaize County before.
Click, click.
He hit it several times but it didn't light up.
The others stared at Liu Bo with wide eyes. Meng Wenzhou smiled and asked, "Where's the fire?"
"Uh... shouldn't that be the case? Isn't this a plateau lighter?"
Click, click.
Liu Bo hit him a few more times, but still didn't get angry.
"Damn it, he lied to me. He told me this lighter could light at an altitude of 5,000 meters."
"There are more than 5,300 here~" Meng Wenzhou laughed again.
"It's only 300 meters longer! And it won't light? It cost me 75 yuan!"
"How much?" Zhang Ziming asked in surprise.
"75."
Zhang Ziming immediately rolled his eyes: "You are so stupid, look at the shape of your lighter, is it worth 75?"
Indeed, Liu Bo's lighter is only slightly larger and heavier than the average windproof lighter, but it is definitely not worth the price.
"Damn it, cheating consumers!" Liu Bo threw the lighter to the ground.
"Hey, don't throw it away. Where's the 75? I can use it when I get back." Ji Bo squatted down, picked up the lighter and put it in his clothes bag.
Liu Bo rolled his eyes at Ji Bo and said, "Look at how little you've accomplished. What are you going to do now?"
Meng Wenzhou blinked and smiled at this time: "Hey, come on, let me show you what a real plateau lighter is."
As he spoke, he took out a black and gold lighter with a unique shape from his bag under the gaze of several people.
"Shh? What kind of lighter is this?"
"A genuine plateau lighter that can be used normally at altitudes above 4,500 meters."
As Meng Wenzhou spoke, he opened the lighter lid and pressed it gently, and a wisp of flame came out.
"Oh my god! That's awesome!"
Liu Bo took the lighter and lit the cigarette, then he passed the lighter to the others: "Brother Meng, where did you buy this lighter?"
"Online~"
"How much? Two hundred?"
Meng Wenzhou glanced at Liu Bo: "Two thousand seven hundred~"
"Two...how much? Two thousand seven? Lighter? Two thousand seven?" Ji Bo shouted before Liu Bo could speak.
"You are such a clueless guy. You get what you pay for, that's true." Chu Qiunan smiled and took the lighter to light the cigarette.
"Mmm~ That feels good."
