At midnight, Zhang Jing drove Silke around the casino city and drove nine hours to the opposite side of the canyon.
Rest for half the night, and continue driving northeast in the morning. Along the way, there are high mountains and steep cliffs, sea buckthorn, fairy trees, and venomous snakes, wild wolves, and wild donkeys that appear from time to time.
Roughly speaking, "In 1923, 11 explorers died 200 kilometers northeast of Kingman, the capital of Mohave County. Their bodies were placed on several rocks and looked like they were sacrificed."
"What's here?" Looking at the desolation outside the car window, Silk asked Zhang Jing: "The legendary seven golden cities?"
Zhang Jing shook his head and said no. He didn't even know what the Golden City was. He asked the woman out of curiosity: "Why is the terrain here so strange?"
"Millions of years ago, this was the bottom of the sea," Silk explained, sitting in the passenger seat. "So the terrain is very different from other places. The flat land is very flat, and the mountains are very strange."
"Are there any taboos?" Zhang Jing asked worriedly.
"It existed a century ago," Silk said. "This was the hunting territory of the Apaches. They did not allow outsiders to come in, otherwise they would be beheaded and used as sacrifices to the God of Thunder.
But now no one cares about it anymore, everyone is busy making money from the casino. "
"So, we can explore as we please, right?" Zhang Jing asked.
"Theoretically, yes," Silk said, "No one will guard this wasteland."
Zhang Jingshen took a breath of air and looked at Silk, "It's not too late for you to go back now. I will stay here for about a month."
"This is exactly what I want, to be inspired by suffering," Silke said with a strong expression, "There is no way to look back!"
As a kind reminder, Zhang Jing drove the X5 bulletproof car into the desert. The terrain here is very special, the terrain is very flat, but there are mountains and hills in the middle of the flat land.
After countless years of exposure to wind and sun, the mountain has appeared in various shapes, such as arch bridge shape, triangle, fan shape, concave and convex shape, oval shape, etc. It is very desolate, like a ghost land.
About five kilometers deep into the wilderness, Zhang Jing hid the car behind a mountain shaped like a ditch. The wind blew a ditch out of the middle of the mountain, which looked a bit powerful.
Smarties and Pea got out of the car with their owner, curious about the unfamiliar environment.
"The car's fuel consumption is high, so we'll stop here," Zhang Jing was packing his backpack while chatting with Silk. "I plan to walk five kilometers west first, camp outside at night, and come back tomorrow morning to replenish water and food. Do you want to stay? Stay where you are, or come with me?"
"Let's go together," Silk said, understanding the wilderness. "I'm not afraid of being alone, but I'm afraid of packs of wild wolves."
Zhang Jing nodded. What he had to do was simple: climb mountains until he found a gold mine!
Because of the golden finger, it will definitely be easier for Zhang Jing to find the Vulture Mountain gold mine than others, but it is not that easy. The main reason is that the place is too big. The area shown on the map is about 400 kilometers long by width.
If you are unlucky, it can take two years or even three years.
Just like practicing cultivation, Zhang Jing climbed the mountain every day for the next twenty consecutive days, constantly looking for gold mines and caves.
While looking for inspiration to compose new music, Silke followed Zhang Jingfeng and ate and slept in the open, deliberately enduring hardships.
On the 23rd day, when they returned to the parking place to replenish water and food, they found that all four tires of the car had been punctured, the rear window glass had been violently damaged, and all supplies, mobile phones, and radio equipment in the car were missing. Stolen and burned.
Zhang Jing looked at the disheveled Silke.
Silk looked at Zhang Jing with knotted hair at the same time. Both of them were smart and immediately understood the desperate situation. They were in the wilderness hinterland with only half a bottle of water left and no food. They might die.
The question is, who should the water be given to?
Just when Silke was full of inner activities, she saw someone handing her water, a compass, and a pistol, "Go south, you can get out alive."
Worried that the woman would starve to death, Zhang Jing pretended to take out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and gave it to her as well.
"What should you do?" Silke didn't expect Zhang Jing to be so generous and hard-hearted at this critical moment of life and death.
She was completely moved, not to mention she was a soft-hearted person.
Zhang Jing knelt down and hugged Smarties and Pea, "I can't abandon them."
"You leave half the water," Silk requested, "that way you have a higher chance."
"There isn't much water to begin with. If we give it half, we will all die," Zhang Jing looked sincere, "Let's go quickly, don't waste time."
Humans can go without food for three days, but cannot go without drinking water for three days, and the same goes for animals.
"Do you have any last words?" Realizing that he had said something wrong, Silke quickly explained, "In case, if, if, do you have anything to say?"
"No," Zhang Jing shook his head, "After I die, I will fly back by myself; besides, I may not die. You will come back to save me, right?"
"Yes," Silke stepped forward and hugged Zhang Jing, "When I come back, I will definitely come back to save you!"
"That's right," Zhang Jing said again as he remembered something, "I finished composing that new piece of music and was interrupted in the middle of it. I was very unhappy."
Silk was moved by Zhang Jing's optimistic attitude. He carefully put away the water and chocolate and left quickly with a pistol and compass.
After watching the woman walk away, Zhang Jing turned around and left the place, climbed to the shelter of a mountain ridge, and a bucket of water appeared in his hand. He raised his head and drank a big gulp of water for himself, taking a bath on the way.
There is no shortage of food, the steak is still hot when taken out, and there is red wine. After eating and drinking, I have a good sleep, and then continue to work, carefully checking every mountain.
Because I have Smarties and Pea with me, I am not lonely or bored, and I am quite happy.
.....
Silke didn't know that Zhang Jing was in a special situation. She had to walk about 150 kilometers with half a bottle of water to get out.
In other words, you only have half a bottle of water and a 20-gram piece of chocolate for three days. You can't meet wolves or gangsters in the middle, otherwise the situation may be worse.
This was destined to be a difficult journey, because Silke encountered wolves and three gangsters on the way back. She relied on her strong survival perseverance and the hope given by Zhang Jing to survive the siege of the wolves. Escape from three gangsters.
However, when she returned to the human world again, six days later, she was severely dehydrated, her lips were chapped like cobwebs, and her consciousness almost collapsed. However, because she was carrying the hope given by Zhang Jing, she asked the police and police before she completely passed out. Brother Thorpe sent an accurate distress message.
The patrolman looked at the woman who passed out and kept mumbling and repeating the name "Zhang Jing", and was moved by the love between her and him.
There is no way to prevent people from misunderstanding. When a person is already in a coma, he still keeps repeating another person's name. What is it if it's not love?
It must be the kind that will shock the world and make the ghosts and gods cry.
An hour later, the first search and rescue team, blocked by patrol officers on the north bank of the canyon, set off to look for Zhang Jing.
Three hours later, a second search and rescue team, including a police helicopter, set off to search for Zhang Jing.
Five hours later, Thorpe arrived by private helicopter, met his sister Silke in the hospital, and then formed a third search and rescue team to set off to find Zhang Jing.
