Chapter 113 Chen Lu falls into the river! Wartime mode!
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the four of them got up one after another.
Xu Ge promised to make breakfast for everyone last night, so after getting up, he immediately put the pot on the table and started working.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted into the air.
The other three people squatted by with their bowls and chopsticks, staring anxiously. The rumbling of their stomachs sounded like thunder to Xu Ge's ears.
"Wait a moment, I'll stir-fry some vegetables..."
"Don't stir-fry, this is enough to eat!" Xu Can was the first one who couldn't help it and directly stretched out his chopsticks.
The nanny and Li Dongshui also came over: "Yes, yes, no need to fry, let's eat!"
Xu Ge had no choice but to give up and start eating with everyone.
Four people finished a pot of rice and two plates of vegetables in less than five minutes. Xu Ge even felt that he didn't even need to wash the pot and plates because they were eaten so cleanly.
The nanny mixed the last bit of rice with vegetable soup.
After eating and drinking, they prepared to continue their journey. The four of them each carried their backpacks. Li Dongshui looked at the nanny and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The nanny touched her face, thinking that something was not clean. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Dongshui: "Nanny, I have some Wangzai milk here, would you like some?"
"Didn't you just finish your meal? No, I don't want to drink."
"I have some oranges here. Do you want some? They're so sweet. A great after-dinner fruit!"
"What on earth do you want to do? Just say it!"
Li Dongshui mustered up his courage and said, "Nanny, I want to..."
The nanny didn't wait for the other person to finish speaking: "Get out!"
"Oh!" Li Dongshui looked disappointed.
Xu Can almost collapsed from laughing, looking at the nanny: "Sure enough, everyone will have this idea after getting to know you, hahahaha!"
"Hey, everyone looks pretty happy!" Liu Yang's voice suddenly came from behind, "Brother, I finally caught up with you!"
The four of them looked back and saw a group of people leading a donkey loaded with luggage following them. Liu Yang, who was empty-handed, was walking in front and was almost there.
The nanny was a little surprised: "You are really fast. You caught up so early."
Liu Yang was a little proud: "I tell you, we traveled all night long. How about it, brother? Since we meet again, why don't we go together?"
The nanny looked at the other three and asked, "What do you say?"
Li Dongshui shrugged: "I don't care."
Liu Yang immediately smiled at Li Dongshui: "My fellow villager is really straightforward."
Xu Can was a little unhappy: "Today's journey is quite long. We still have to cross the highest pass, Tashda Pass. It's not certain whether these people can make it. They will definitely hold us back..."
"Don't worry, beautiful lady! I promise I won't fall behind!" Liu Yang immediately said, "We're all very capable. The fact that we were able to catch up this morning already proves our strength."
Xu Can glanced at Chen Lu who was gasping for breath in the crowd behind him and snorted.
Chen Lu's expression changed: "No, what do you mean by that look? Didn't I walk all the way here..."
He was halfway through his words when he noticed Liu Yang's look and immediately fell silent.
Xu Ge walked over and looked at Liu Yang: "Does the sponsorship fee we mentioned earlier still count?"
"Of course it counts!"
Liu Yang immediately smiled and extended his hand to shake Xu Ge's hand cordially. "Little brother, your reminder yesterday was so timely. I must thank you very much. Your sponsorship fee must be increased by another 100,000!"
Xu Ge also got into the role at this time. His eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Xu Can: "Cousin, I think it's okay for us to go together. There is strength in numbers."
"Yes, yes, yes! There is strength in numbers!" Liu Yang quickly agreed.
Xu Can glared at Xu Ge and said, "You're so obsessed with money at such a young age. Don't come out with me next time!"
After saying that, he walked forward on his own.
Xu Ge looked embarrassed and quickly chased after him to say something nice.
When Liu Yang saw that Xu Can's attitude was equivalent to agreement, he was naturally happy and shouted at everyone to speed up.
In this way, the two groups joined together, and the twelve people continued their journey together.
As the altitude increases, the surrounding meadows have long disappeared, replaced by bare mountains and piles of rubble, and the scenery in the distance has turned into snow-capped mountains and glaciers.
After successfully traveling with the four people, Liu Yang completely obeyed the nanny's arrangements along the way, stopping when asked to stop and walking when asked to walk, and even followed the four people to the toilet.
At noon, everyone had lunch, took a short rest and then set off again.
A towering mountain appeared in front of us.
We arrived at Tash Pass, the highest pass on this trip, at an altitude of 5,900 meters.
Xu Ge looked up and saw that more than half of the mountain was above the clouds, so he couldn't see how high it was.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the winding Renqi River blocked our way again.
The flow rate of the river in this section was several times faster than the last time, and people could hear the rumbling sound from a long distance away.
When they got closer, everyone's face changed.
The river is nearly 40 meters wide, and the rushing water roars and rushes downstream. There are several large rocks scattered in the middle of the river, and the river water splashes more than one meter high on the rocks.
Liu Yang looked at the river in front of him with a grim expression. No wonder no one had ever successfully crossed this ancient road. With the speed of the river flow, I'm afraid that if people go in, they won't even be able to stand steadily and will be washed away!
At this time, the nanny had already returned from surveying the surrounding terrain. Liu Yang immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother, how is it?"
The nurse's expression turned serious. "The water is flowing very fast here. The river is narrow in this area, but it's much wider elsewhere!"
"What should we do? Can you make it?" Liu Yang asked hurriedly.
The nanny took off her backpack and started to dig out the rope: "Let's try it first!"
Liu Yang immediately called everyone over: "Come and help, listen to my brother's instructions!"
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to help, the nanny felt relieved. After a while, everyone nailed the rope firmly to the shore, and for safety reasons, they wrapped it around a huge rock.
Xu Ge walked to the river, picked up a big stone and threw it into the river.
Plop!
After listening carefully to the sound of water, his expression turned grim: "At least one meter deep!"
Xu Can looked at the nanny with a worried look on his face: "Are you sure?"
The nanny nodded slightly, put on her big backpack, and first asked Xu Ge: "Cousin, is there a flash flood?"
Everyone looked at Xu Ge. Xu Ge closed his eyes and listened for a while, then shook his head: "Not at the moment."
Liu Yang said to his men behind him with admiration, "See? This is what we call professionalism!"
. . .
. . .
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The nanny, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui all locked the safety buckles around their waists, fastened the ropes, and came to the river.
"Brothers, you three can put down your backpacks and come back to carry them after we fix the ropes!" Liu Yang shouted.
He was sincerely reminding them that they still had to rely on these four people for the rest of the journey, and Liu Yang didn't want anything to happen to them.
The nanny shook her head and said it was not necessary. Then she took Xu Ge and Li Dongshui to the river and carried them up in front of everyone's astonishment.
"What the hell! What is he doing, boss?" Liu Yang's men exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Yang's eyes lit up: "Awesome! What a great idea!"
"What do you mean, boss?" asked the subordinate wearing glasses.
At this time, there was a person sitting on each shoulder of the nanny. He had already gone into the river. The rushing water was above his waist, but he was moving forward steadily.
Liu Yang pointed at the nanny walking towards the other side and said in shock, "With the three of them and their three backpacks, that must weigh at least half a ton, right? Big Brother, only his lower body is in the water, and most of his weight is above the surface. That way, his center of gravity is very high, and the water can't carry him!"
"Wow! That's awesome!" His eyes were filled with shock. "But only a big idiot could pull this off, right? How could anyone else have that much strength?"
"You still muttered about him!"
Liu Yang still knows a little bit about it, and whispered,
"Strength is just superficial. To be able to do this, his core strength has reached a terrifying level, especially in his waist, abdomen, and legs! There really are many strong people in the outdoor circle!"
At this time, the nanny had already walked to the middle of the river. After holding on to a large rock and adjusting her posture slightly, she continued to walk to the other side.
Li Dongshui's face turned pale as he sat on his left shoulder. "Fuck, is this really that exciting?"
"Don't move, keep your body tense, otherwise the nanny's center of gravity will float!" Xu Ge reminded seriously on the right.
Unexpectedly, the nanny looked relaxed and even had the energy to joke: "It's okay if you two fall in. You're both tied to the ropes. I'll pull you up after I get ashore. Just remember to hold your breath."
Xu Ge: ...
Li Dongshui: . . .
Without any danger, the nanny reached the other side, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also jumped off her shoulders.
“Awesome!”
"sharp!"
“Fuck that’s awesome!”
A group of people on the other side cheered and applauded loudly.
The three of them waved to the other side, immediately took off their backpacks and began to fix the ropes.
The nurse walked to the shore and shouted, "Prepare to cross the river. Line up and come over. The last person will be responsible for taking the rope!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all of Liu Yang's men changed their expressions.
No one wants to be the last one to cross the river because the danger is too great.
At this time, Xu Can had already changed into river trekking shoes, fastened his safety buckle, and was the first to go into the water.
Liu Yang turned around and scolded his men: "What the hell are you guys grabbing for? It doesn't matter who stays behind. Damn, even if there are more than a dozen of us, we can pull him over!"
The group of people were silent.
That's all well and good, but what if something unexpected happens?
Liu Yang sneered: "What? You don't want to? Then I'll be the last one."
Glasses immediately flattered him: "Boss, look at what you said, we definitely won't..."
Liu Yang: "Okay, then you'll be the last one!"
Glasses:. . .
"Brother Liu! I'll go over first and help you test the depth!" Chen Lu suddenly said.
Seeing that Xu Can had already gone into the water, she became anxious, fearing that she would be left behind by these people.
Liu Yang didn't expect this woman to be of any help. He kept her there entirely for Biaozi's sake. He waved his hand calmly and said, "Okay, then you go first."
“Thank you, Brother Liu!”
Chen Lu was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so she didn't even have time to change her shoes and immediately grabbed the rope and went into the river.
At this time, Liu Yang and his men were all preparing their shoes and equipment, while Xu Ge and the other three focused their attention on Xu Can.
No one noticed that Chen Lu did not fasten her safety buckle when she went into the river.
Wow! Wow!
As soon as Chen Lu entered the river, the cold water instantly filled up to her chest, and she was immediately carried away by the huge force.
If she hadn't held the rope tightly with her right hand, she would have been swept several meters away by the river.
“Ahem!”
Chen Lu choked on a mouthful of water and was horrified. She quickly grabbed the rope with both hands. Her whole body was swayed by the river water, and even the rope was shaking violently.
“Help…Help…Ah!”
Xu Can felt his body shaking and looked back.
At this time, Xu Ge and the other two also discovered Chen Lu, who was holding onto a rope and struggling in the river.
"Hey, someone go help her!" the nanny shouted across the street.
Liu Yang and the others only then discovered Chen Lu's situation, and a trace of disgust and impatience immediately appeared on their faces!
"Damn, she's such a nuisance!" Liu Yang cursed and waved his hand, "Someone get her out!"
Several men looked at each other, and no one was willing to move. Until they saw Liu Yang frown, Glasses reluctantly took the safety buckle and went over.
"Look up, lean your body back, and stand up in the water first!" Xu Can also reminded at this time.
I don’t know if it was because of Xu Can’s reminder, or because Chen Lu gained experience through her own efforts, but she actually managed to stand firm.
At this time, Glasses had already come to the river with an impatient look on his face, cursing: "Don't you know to buckle up? I'll drown you!"
As he said that, he squatted down, fastened his safety buckle, and stretched out his hand, "Hurry up and get up, don't delay!"
Chen Lu was still in shock at this time. She didn't hear what Yan Jing said before, but only heard the second sentence "roll up". She was so scared that she quickly grabbed the rope and walked towards the middle of the river.
Perhaps it was the desire to survive that made Chen Lu move so fast that she caught up with Xu Can in just a few steps.
Xu Can frowned. She didn't want to have any entanglement with this woman, so she immediately turned around and continued crossing the river.
At this moment, Chen Lu's feet suddenly slipped. Without the protection of a safety buckle, she lost her balance in the water again and her body floated up.
But this time Chen Lu was very close to Xu Can, so she quickly grabbed the rope with both hands and moved towards Xu Can.
Under Chen Lu's tossing and turning, the rope began to swing left and right again, making it impossible for Xu Can to move forward. He had to stop to stabilize his center of gravity.
"Careful, cousin!"
On the shore, Xu Ge suddenly shouted.
The next moment, Xu Can felt her backpack being grabbed and pulled backwards by a huge force, and her entire body was pulled horizontally on the water.
"Grass!"
The nanny cursed, jumped into the water with a splash, grabbed the rope and rushed quickly to the middle of the river.
Over there, Chen Lu had somehow completely let go of the ropes with both hands and was clinging tightly to Xu Can's back.
Xu Can was calm. He took a deep breath and completely sank into the water. He quickly stood up and began to untie his backpack strap.
At this time, Chen Lu had already pulled Xu Can forward to the rope. In a panic, she reached out to the safety buckle, apparently wanting to unbutton it!
"Stop!" the nanny shouted and accelerated again.
"What does she want to do? Won't both of them be washed away by the water?!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui both had good eyesight and saw everything clearly. Li Dongshui stamped his feet in anxiety.
Xu Ge was naturally anxious when he saw this scene. He didn't care whether Chen Lu was dead or alive, but Xu Can was still there!
Li Dongshui suddenly reached behind his waist and looked at Xu Ge: "Xu Ge, it's too late, shoot Chen Lu!"
When Xu Ge heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He bent down, picked up a stone and threw it over with all his strength.
Bang!
The stone hit Chen Lu's wrist accurately, and she immediately let go in pain.
"ah!!!"
Wow! Wow!
Chen Lu was swept downstream by the river current. After floating up and down a few times, she immediately disappeared.
. . .
. . .
No one spoke. Xu Ge looked calm and he did not regret his actions at all.
"Xu Ge, you did the right thing!" Li Dongshui even praised him softly, "Well done!"
On the other side of the river, Liu Yang and his men only looked at the direction Chen Lu was floating in at first, and then continued to make preparations to cross the river.
Without any restraint, Xu Can quickly regained his footing in the water, and then successfully got ashore with the help of the nanny.
"Phew! That was a close call!" The nurse was terrified. "My reputation as a guard with a 100% success rate was almost ruined!"
Xu Ge: ???
Li Dongshui: ???
No, at this time, the first thing you worry about is your own signboard?
Xu Can was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He unloaded his backpack on the ground and looked at the turbulent river: "Chen Lu was washed away?"
"Um!"
Li Dongshui immediately said, "Thanks to Xu Ge for throwing the stone and smashing her hand open, otherwise you two would have been washed away together!"
Xu Can looked at Xu Ge and said seriously, "Thank you, cousin, for saving me again!"
"Why are we being so polite when we're on our own?" Xu Ge waved his hand and looked at the other side with some worry. "I wonder if they'll cause trouble for us because of this."
"They're not blind. There was no other way out of the situation just now!" The nanny glared at him. "I want to see who dares to cause trouble!"
A few minutes later, Liu Yang came first.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! That idiot Chen Lu almost got you hurt! I apologize to you on her behalf!"
What surprised the four people was that Liu Yang apologized to Xu Can immediately after he came over, which made Xu Can a little confused about how to respond.
Xu Ge looked at Liu Yang: "Don't blame me for giving your people..."
"Little brother, don't say that. She deserves to die!"
Liu Yang interrupted, "Survival of the fittest. This kind of person is asking for trouble. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I don't know her well. If you don't take responsibility for yourself when you're out, how can you expect others to do the same?"
Xu Ge was also confused.
Liu Yang seemed to be worried that the four of them might be worried, so he added, "Let's just let this matter pass. Don't worry, we won't say a word!"
Four people: ...
More than half an hour later, everyone, including the donkey, had crossed the river, and the last person in charge of collecting the rope, Glasses, was pulled over by everyone.
After a quick packing, we started climbing Tashda Pass.
The mountain looks very high, but in fact the slope is not very steep. It took everyone less than two hours to reach the top of the mountain. Apart from some lack of oxygen, there was no other difficulty.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain. The nanny suggested that today's itinerary end here. Tomorrow they would have to wade through water three times in a row, so they had to ensure their condition.
Liu Yang naturally had no objection to this. The two groups immediately found a place to set up camp.
The altitude here is over 4,000 meters, and the temperature is obviously much lower.
After the four of them set up the tent, they changed their clothes and began to prepare dinner. Liu Yang also sent someone to deliver two pieces of bacon.
Xu Ge is the chef, and the other three are helping him.
The nanny was peeling garlic, but her attention was fixed on the camp of Liu Yang and his men. Seeing Liu Yang talking on the satellite phone for a few words and then hanging up, she immediately said, "It looks like he just called the ranch owner."
Xu Ge nodded. He had vaguely heard it and was about to say something when the token suddenly appeared on its own.
[The host has successfully killed the first enemy, meeting the conditions for opening the wartime mode]
[In wartime mode, the host can issue military orders to enemy personnel]
Xu Ge: ???
What does it mean?
It turns out that the condition for activating the wartime mode is to kill an enemy?
So, Chen Lu was declared dead by the system just now? It seems this woman has been floating in the river for several hours!
No! According to the system, this is the first enemy I killed?
Shouldn't it be like this? I've participated in so many actual combats.
"What are you daydreaming about? The bacon is almost burnt!" Li Dongshui reminded.
Xu Ge came back to his senses and hurriedly stir-fried the food in the wok. He asked uncertainly, "Is Chen Lu the first person I killed?"
The three of them were stunned: "What's wrong?"
"I've participated in several actual combat operations!" Xu Ge asked puzzledly.
I won’t talk about the first time I went to Qiangtang. I hit two enemies, one was killed by Ao Xiang, and the other was shot by Lei Shen. But what about the other times?
"The last time you went on a business trip with Thor and the others, you really didn't hit a single enemy." Li Dongshui said casually.
Xu Ge: "What about that time in the early morning of New Year's Eve?"
"No, you've been reporting to me all the time."
"Damn! What about that time when we rescued Xu Can overseas? I remember blowing someone up!"
Xu Can looked at Xu Ge and said, "My cousin, he wasn't killed in the explosion. I later shot him to death with a pistol."
Xu Ge was a little overwhelmed: "Damn! I haven't killed a single one? Am I really that useless?"
