Because it was too dark at night, we didn't pay attention to what was around this camp.
As usual, I still use zombies to protect everyone so that everyone can rest peacefully. After all, life safety is the most important thing when leaving a safe place and entering a strange environment.
The next day, everyone got up early. Unexpectedly, everyone came to a canyon, which was like a big desert, but before everyone was happy.
My face looked very ugly, and gradually became serious, because the field of vision we could see was all dry and cracked land, and there were many white bones on the ground, which seemed to belong to some animals.
But apart from the white bones, there is no other feeling. It's just that here, facing the white bones on the ground, there will be a depressing feeling.
Maybe it's because there are really too many bones here, scattered in a large area. So many bones immediately add an eerie feeling to the place.
"Brother Feng, could this be the Valley of Death?" Qin Yujie also asked carefully with a serious look on her face.
"Huh" I breathed out gently, sorted out my thoughts, and looked at the land without blinking.
After a long time, I said to everyone: "This seems to be the real Death Canyon. It is said that there is an inexplicable power here, so many animals died here, making this place full of bones."
At this time, Lei Zi also said: "According to rumors, sometimes a burst of thunder and lightning will be produced inexplicably here. People and animals who enter here will be struck to death by lightning."
"Xiao Linzi, when I was a soldier, I also heard about the mysterious events in Kunlun Mountain. Among them was the introduction of Death Valley, which is quite evil."
"People call this place the Gate of Hell, which shows how terrifying it is. It has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has also been passed down by word of mouth among the villagers. Anyway, no one dares to enter easily."
"And at the nearby mountain pass, I heard that there is a garrison guarding it. We must avoid the garrison, otherwise we will be arrested. You may not be in trouble when you arrive, but we can't tell."
I have heard some of what Lei Zi said, but I only know a little bit about it. Compared with him, he obviously knows a lot. Most of the things I know have been reported.
The taciturn lone wolf on the other side rarely spoke up this time: "Xiao Lin, if this canyon in front of you is really the legendary Death Valley, then we may be in some trouble. There is a special magnetic field here."
"It will cause thunder and lightning, and the range is very wide. The deeper you go, the higher the magnetic field will be. This is only one aspect. It is said that villagers nearby have witnessed monsters appearing here. I don't know if it is true."
"The legend of this thing becomes more and more mysterious as it spreads. Some people say that the people and animals that died here were all eaten by monsters. So, if we really enter, we should be careful."
Qin Yujie also joined the discussion, thought for a while and said, "Brother Feng, it is said that there have been supernatural events and ghosts in Death Valley. However, after this news was spread, I heard that it was later blocked by a certain department."
"However, we are not afraid of ghosts. If there is a monster, it may not be our opponent. But we must also know how strong this monster is. If it is like a black-scaled dragon, we will die even if we enter."
Qin Yujie told the worst case scenario, and everyone's hearts sank when they heard it, but they didn't say anything, so no one knew what was going on inside. They could only enter it by themselves. If there was danger, they could only go in. Can face it.
I was thinking quickly in my mind whether we should go in, cross Death Valley, and go to the nearest city. If we took another detour, we would be delayed for many days.
This time, it will take more than a month. Thinking of this, I frowned and couldn't make up my mind for a while.
I shook my head and said slowly: "Don't go, let's take a detour. Since it's called Death Valley and the Gate of Hell, you don't need to think about it. It's extremely dangerous inside. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"So, I chose to take a detour, which could lead to a detour of hundreds of kilometers at worst. Isn't it just to stay in the mountains for a while longer?"
"I listen to you, Brother Feng. You are the leader in this team anyway," Qin Yujie said with a smile, without any sense of oppression.
I nodded and waved, and everyone left the area, preparing to take a detour out of Kunlun Mountain, and decided to go south.
The route has not yet been determined. If we keep going south, we will most likely enter the Qinghai area after leaving the Kunlun Mountains. If we reach Qinghai, we can fly back to Beijing.
I can't selfishly let everyone risk crossing Death Valley to save time. If I were the only one, I might be able to break in and have a look with the help of zombies and the Paper Man Technique in my hand.
Maybe there will be some different discoveries to figure out why there are so many corpses inside, and where does the strong magnetic field come from?
After hiking and wading through mountains and rivers for about a week, they finally left Kunlun Mountain, entered the Qinghai area, and arrived near the Qinghai Highway.
We also saw a place with people for the first time in more than 20 days. Across the Qinghai Highway is the pass of Kunlun Mountain, which is also one of the places where some explorers enter.
After meeting the people, we inquired and found out that this is Golmud in Haixi, a Tibetan Autonomous Region. Haixi has a long history and was the land of the Western Qiang in ancient times.
This put me in a difficult position. The Tibetan people here were not familiar with the place, and very few Tibetan people knew Chinese. I had some language barriers for a while, which made me very uncomfortable.
I just want to find a Tibetan who can speak Chinese here to guide us to the train station so that we can buy train tickets to return to Beijing.
But Golmud is a very small city, and it only takes about 20 minutes to cross it by car. Finally, we found someone who knew some Chinese and helped us buy tickets, which allowed us to leave Golmud smoothly.
After setting foot on the train, we were all very tired from the long-term climb and wading, sleeping in the open air, the cold, and the ever-precarious dangers.
Thinking about it, we were pretty lucky. There happened to be sleeper berths on the train, so we booked sleeper berth tickets for everyone, and everyone lay down lazily on the berth to rest.
In fact, there is an airport here in Golmud, but I was not in a hurry, so I thought of taking a train instead of flying back to Beijing.
If I take the train back along the way, I can look at the scenery outside, because in the Kunlun Mountains, I saw too much desolation, all mountains and rocks, and no good scenery.
Moreover, deep in the Kunlun Mountains, there are snow-capped mountains several thousand meters high, with the average being over 4,000 meters. The highest peak, Kongger Peak, is over 7,000 meters, which was once as high as Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. .
Those were all white snow-capped mountains, and there was nothing to see. I was lying on the berth to rest, when I received a text message on my phone.
When I opened it, I found that it was from Song Yu, whom I had not contacted for a long time. There was only one sentence in it: "I have a mission. Where are you? I will set off in half a month."
