Chapter 108 Life Forbidden Zone 07
Jiang Ran's statement still remained in doubt. The only thing that was certain was that Xiaolang really hated Jiang Wenxue.
During the midnight break, it was Zeng Pei's turn to be on duty.
The tent was quiet for a while, and then Fu Bo suddenly poked his head out and looked around.
Zeng Pei understood: "Little Wolf is missing again?"
Fu Bo nodded fiercely: "Did you see where it went?"
"I know without even looking," Zeng Pei swore, "He must have gone to Jiang Wenxue to cause trouble again."
Fu Bo also agreed with her statement, but was still worried that something might happen to the little wolf, so he hurriedly put on his coat and crawled out of the tent.
Just as I put on my shoes, I heard Jiang Wenxue's scream not far away, followed by a series of curses.
Zeng Pei spread his hands and said, "This is already the fourth time tonight. Just relax a little."
"Okay," Fu Bo sighed, "but we still have to go get it back now. We can't let someone else kill our own child."
Zeng Pei nodded and followed him.
Not long after, a quarrel was heard from the next tent. After a while, Fu Bo came back holding the little wolf.
The wolf cub had just successfully completed its raid and was wagging its tail excitedly. Perhaps it had already recognized Fu Bo as one of its own, or perhaps it had just committed a crime and needed protection. Now, nestled in Fu Bo's arms, it was perfectly docile and quiet, showing none of the same fuss-seeking caretaker attitude it had shown that afternoon.
Fu Bo had just returned to the tent when Jiang Ran poked his head out: "Are you looking for Little Wolf again?"
Fu Bo nodded. "I'm worried Jiang Wenxue and the others might attack the little wolf. It's safer to bring him back."
Fu Bo stroked the wolf cub's shiny fur and said, "If it's just a few hits, it's not a big deal. I'm just afraid..."
Fu Bo didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Jiang Ran could guess what he meant.
If Jiang Wenxue is really the murderer of the wolf pack, then she will most likely have a weapon of mass destruction. When the time comes, she can shoot the little wolf to death. No matter how public opinion ferments, the little wolf will not be able to come back.
So Fu Bo could only act like a tired and helpless old father, going to other people's homes again and again to bring his children back.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much," Jiang Ran patted his shoulder, "Little Wolf is really smart."
Fu Bo smiled bitterly: "No matter how smart it is, it's still just this small, not even as tall as my calf, how can it beat so many people?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows: "Since you are smart, then of course you will win by wits, not by force."
Fu Bo scratched the back of his head: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Ran said, "The little wolf has run to the next door several times. Did you see it actually hurt anyone?"
"It seems not?" Fu Bo thought carefully, "Although Jiang Wenxue always screamed and cried, I didn't see any injuries on her."
"Of course," Jiang Ran said, "If the little wolf really hurt someone, do you think you could bring it back so easily?"
Fu Bo: "You have a point."
Jiang Ran patiently coaxed: "So the little wolf did it on purpose, harassing people in the middle of the night, but not hurting anyone, and it was stuck at the right level, like this..."
"This way Jiang Wenxue can't do anything to it!" Fu Bo suddenly realized, "The little wolf has already gone through the clear path. We raised it, so if Jiang Wenxue wants to hurt it, she has to find a suitable reason, otherwise it won't be justified."
"Bingo," Jiang Ran snapped his fingers, "right answer."
Fu Bo finally figured everything out and was very excited. Just as he was about to pull Jiang Ran over to analyze it further, the other party turned around and went back into the tent.
"Hey! Don't go!" Fu Bo reached out to hold her back, "I've thought of another point. Let's talk about it!"
Jiang Ran dodged his outstretched hand without hesitation, his tone full of impatience: "Don't you see what time it is? If I wasn't afraid that you would run to the next door again and make a noise to wake me up, I wouldn't want to talk to you!"
Fu Bo: “…”
The little wolf was still wagging its tail excitedly.
Fu Bo paused, then couldn't help but bite it: "You are such a bad guy who will always take revenge for any flaws!"
The little wolf was not angry. When he saw him stretch out his hand, he tilted his neck and licked his hand.
Fu Bo's whole body stiffened.
After a long while, he raised the corners of his lips.
"You cute bad guy!"
Jiang Wenxue is different from Fu Bo.
She didn't think the little wolf was cute at all, she just thought it was a demon.
After the little wolf came to the tent to cause trouble in the middle of the night for the tenth time, Jiang Wenxue wanted to pull out his gun and kill it. If he hadn't been stopped by the bodyguard, he might have really killed it without considering the consequences.
In the second half of the night, even the bodyguards began to doubt their lives.
Why did he think the wolf cub was so docile in the afternoon? It was clearly the most naughty one!
As a result, Jiang Wenxue and his group were often woken up after less than ten minutes of sleep, and they rarely got a good rest. Later on, they were completely unable to enter a deep sleep. Even when the surroundings were very quiet, their bodies remained in a semi-awake state.
Finally, when the little wolf stopped causing trouble, Jiang Wenxue tossed and turned for several hours until she fell asleep at dawn. When she woke up again, the sun was high in the sky and it was already noon.
After Jiang Wenxue woke up, she shuddered violently.
When I lifted the curtain and looked next door, I saw that Jiang Ran and others had already left, obviously they had been on the road for a long time.
"I knew it!"
Jiang Wenxue was furious: "Jiang Ran and the others deliberately released that wolf just to disturb our rest and seize the initiative! What a vicious mind!"
"Ask the snow!"
Suddenly, a bodyguard ran over and said, "When we were packing, we found that a lot of things were missing from our backpacks!"
Jiang Wenxue: "What's missing?"
The bodyguard said, "Three bottles of water, a bag of seasoning, basically all food... Oh, and a few bottles of milk are missing!"
Jiang Wenxue: "Damn it!"
Jiang Wenxue clenched his fists, feeling angry.
She had already realized that the things must have been stolen by Jiang Ran and others, who took advantage of the time when their attention was drawn away by the little wolf.
They were disturbed by the disturbances caused by the little wolf and could not sleep well, but Jiang Ran and others were able to have a good meal with their supplies.
It makes me angry no matter how I think about it!
It’s so abominable!
Jiang Ran and others traveled very quickly and finished the Pamir Highway section the next day.
When you are on the road, you are always thinking about what is ahead. When you look back, you realize that there are beautiful scenery everywhere.
Fu Bo looked back at the way he had come: "What a pity, I haven't stopped to appreciate the scenery in the past few days."
Ren Xiayang also agreed: "Yes, you can't see such a pristine scene on the capital planet."
Jiang Ran asked: "Do you want to keep some souvenirs?"
Everyone said in unison: "Of course!"
Jiang Ran immediately greeted everyone and took a group photo together.
Jiang Ran adjusted the equipment and time, then stood in the middle holding the little wolf. Fu Bo next to him secretly reached out his hand and covered the little wolf's head.
“Crack.”
When the picture froze, the little wolf was raising its head to bite Fu Bo's rebellious hand, and Fu Bo pulled his hand back in panic, his face full of guilt.
"No, no!" Fu Bo was very dissatisfied, "Let's take another shot!"
Ren Xiayang pulled his collar and grinned, saying, "No, no, no! I think this one is good enough!"
Jiang Ran held the ball with one hand and showed them the photos he took.
In addition to the group photo just now, there are also the scenery from the previous stages, such as the wasteland without any signs of life and the thrilling and steep cliffs.
Looking further down, there are people’s daily lives, such as Fu Bo being slapped in disgust by the little wolf, and Zeng Pei feeding the little wolf with an expressionless face.
Fu Bo was disgusted with his embarrassing appearance and felt that he was being targeted, so he arrogantly asked for a copy of the photo to be made for him.
The others didn't say it directly, but just looked at Jiang Ran, obviously meaning the same thing.
Facing several pairs of staring eyes, Jiang Ran stretched out a finger and waved it.
Fu Bo was confused: "Only one copy?"
Jiang Ran shook his head: "Ten thousand federal coins per copy, no cheating."
Fu Bo: “…”Robbery?
Jiang Ran smiled unapologetically: "I've been wanting to buy so many things lately, and I'm a little short of money."
Fu Bo paused for a long time: "Eight thousand!"
Jiang Ran looked at him motionlessly.
Fu Bo immediately gave up: "Okay."
Ren Xiayang patted Fu Bo's shoulder and said, "If you don't know how to bargain, don't bargain."
Zeng Pei said, "Your brother should really limit your pocket money."
Fu Bo: “…”
The Pamir Highway stage ends at Karakul Lake.
The clear lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, which complement each other and form a poetic picture.
Occasionally camels pass by.
They are very afraid of people and will run away anxiously if you get even a little bit closer.
Fu Bo searched for a long time and finally found a camel that was not afraid of people. He rode on it and let Jiang Ran take a photo. Then the price of the photo package was increased to 20,000.
Fu Bo: “…”
What else can he say?
"I didn't expect this production crew to be so considerate," Ren Xiayang sighed. "Knowing we'd traveled so long, they even set up a rest stop for us."
Jiang Ran looked at him sympathetically. "Is it possible that the next stage of the race will be more dangerous and tense, so you're being told to take it easy now so you can get going better later?"
Ren Xiayang: “…”
"The Pamir Plateau was formerly known as Mount Buzhou."
Jiang Ran said, "The average altitude is over 4,500 meters, and the main peak is over 6,000 meters. Our goal, Mount K2, is 8,611 meters high. The mountain is steep, covered with icy cliffs, and the vertical drop is the highest on Earth. The process of climbing Mount K2 is often called a journey of death."
"Journey to Death?" Fu Bo murmured.
Ren Xiayang also shuddered.
“That’s not all.”
Jiang Ran continued, "This is a typical continental alpine climate. As the altitude rises, the absolute minimum temperature can drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius, making it almost impossible for animals and plants to survive..."
"So the Pamir Plateau has another name."
"It's called the Life Forbidden Zone."
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
Everyone gestured to Jiang Ran in pain, asking him to stop.
"If you keep talking, I'm going to give up the game."
Jiang Ran smiled and said nothing more.
The next stage of the race is full of dangers, so everyone needs to have some psychological expectations.
After feeding the little wolf the last bottle of milk, there was almost no liquid food left in the bag, so I had to look for a lactating ewe.
At this time, everyone had rested enough, so they packed their luggage and headed towards the plateau.
However, before the ewe was found, everyone discovered something -
Jiang Wenxue's team followed behind them.
Jiang Ran tried to change the team's direction and speed, but Jiang Wenxue always kept a certain distance and followed them neither too far nor too close.
At this point, Jiang Ran finally confirmed:
"Jiang Wenxue is using us as a pretext."
