Logically speaking, because there are mountains blocking the way here, even if a radio transceiver is to be installed, it should be installed on the side closer to the Gobi Desert.
However, it was hard to say whether what Gu Laosan had discovered was actually set up by Luke and his men. After all, they were not the only ones who could use radios. Wang Ping had even encountered poachers with extremely exaggerated equipment before, comparable to special forces.
However, this also reminded the badger that they had already reached the mission area and could not let Gu Laosan wander aimlessly. If he was misunderstood as someone who was here to rob the golden eagle, it would be a big joke with the mediocre skills that he had learned after a month of hard work.
After Gu Lang ended the broadcast and went into the tent, Wang Ping returned to the car and took out his tablet to study the route.
After the last lesson, someone no longer dared to turn off the car at night, especially in a place like this near the snow-capped mountains with a large temperature difference. Wang Ping naturally continued to sleep in the car. After all, the sleeping bag of a badger has now become the diaper of Wolf Xiaosi. It is better for him and Gu Laosan to share a quilt in the car and enjoy the air conditioning.
The route that Gu Laosan hastily decided in Nima County was to go north over the snow line on the west side of Weiwei Mountain, go east around the Frog Lake under Chitong Mountain, and then turn west after reaching the easternmost side of the no-man's land. It sounds very roundabout, but this is the route someone came up with after two days of serious thinking.
Wang Ping was originally quite supportive because someone's route happened to pass through the Gobi Desert between two mountains, which was also the activity range of the snowy golden eagle that Wang Ping saw in Anna's mission briefing.
But at this moment, a badger was holding a capacitive stylus and sliding it to the left on the tablet, looking for a route to enter the Qiangtang No Man's Land from the west side of Weiwei Mountain.
After all, the radio transceivers have been installed outside the mountain, and it is estimated that the entire Gobi Desert is now within the monitoring range. If Gu Laosan dives in at this time, who knows what will happen.
Since he didn't want to involve someone, and he wanted to see it himself, the best way was to avoid it. Especially because his teammates were involved in this matter, Wang Ping didn't want it to be exposed.
Besides, someone is now a well-known anchor on Douyu. Although his way of becoming famous is extremely weird, he is still recognized by the public. But if Gu Laosan encounters poachers again and again during live broadcasts, it is not weird, but poisonous, and he must be invited to have tea.
"How about smashing his tablet while he's sleeping?" A badger scratched his head, thought about it and decided to give up.
Although Gu Lao San seemed to be silly and said nothing all day, Wang Ping could feel that he was also holding back a lot of energy in his heart and wanted to prove that he was not just a bystander. Otherwise, he would not have been so determined to go through the front of the no-man's land.
"Woooooo! Woo ...
On the driver's seat, wolf Xiao Si curled up on the blanket. He didn't know if he had a nightmare or something, but he suddenly kicked his legs a few times and whimpered. The badger helplessly dropped the tablet, jumped over and patted it. The wolf calmed down, picked up Wang Ping's tail, hummed twice, and fell asleep again.
"Damn, it seems that if I want to find a chance to sneak over and take a look, I not only have to deal with Gu Lao San, but I also have to find a way to get rid of this little thing!" A badger tried to pull out its tail, but when it found that it didn't move, he thought helplessly.
"If there is no other choice, I can only act shamelessly. After all, I am an animal now..."
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, thanks to the good weather, it was neither raining, nor snowing, nor hail. When the first rays of light flashed across the sky, Wang Ping stood on the roof of the car, facing the snow-capped mountains, stretched out his two paws and inhaled, practicing his "family qigong" like aerobics.
The wind was strong at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally a few sharp cries could be heard. But every time Wang Ping turned his head, there were no animals around.
As usual, there was no sense of Qi, but the badger was not practicing for the sense of Qi, he just got up early and had nothing to do.
When the sun rose completely and made the white top of the snow-capped mountains opposite shine brightly, the anchor came out of the tent yawning and wiping his eye boogers.
According to the plan, we have to drive across the snow line today. In addition to serving breakfast to the two "masters" early in the morning, Gu Laosan also has to put anti-skid chains on the tires. There are not many people in the live broadcast room at this time, most of them are regular fans who are really curious about someone's itinerary.
Gu Laosan was wearing a thick jacket and gloves that he had dried yesterday, squatting beside the car to work. Behind him, a badger was sitting on a small stool, drinking porridge from a steel bowl. A wolf was standing next to the stool, licking the heated milk in another steel bowl.
By the time everything was ready, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
The Wrangler roared, left the foot of the mountain, and headed towards the western slope.
This hillside was more like a vent between two mountains. The closer you got to the top, the stronger the wind became. After the Wrangler had driven nearly 4 kilometers uphill, the windows were filled with snow.
The sun passed over the side of the mountain, shining on the snow on the hillside, making it so bright that Wang Ping could not open his eyes.
The Wrangler drove very slowly. Gu Lang was wearing sunglasses and carefully staring at the road. He drove wherever there were exposed rocks. He didn't go to snowy areas at all, for fear that there would be nothing underneath and he would fall into the ditch.
It took someone more than an hour to drive along the snow line of less than 10 kilometers. When the wind and snow were left behind and the Wrangler went downhill and bypassed Weiwei Mountain, Wang Ping could clearly hear Gu Laosan let out a long breath.
At the end of the slope is a small river bank, and on the west side is a relatively narrow valley entrance, opposite the western foot of Chitong Mountain. On the east side is an endless Gobi desert, and sand and dust blown up by the wind can be seen from time to time.
“Finally here!”
Gu Laosan stopped the car, rubbed his legs which were tense all the way, and then checked the navigation to confirm that he had taken the right route. But at this moment, a badger knocked on the dashboard, and Gu Laosan, who was looking at the map, and Xiao Sitou, the wolf who had just woken up from a nap in the hammock, turned their heads to look over at the same time.
Ignoring the wolf's cute cry for a hug, Wang Ping jumped onto the dashboard and pointed his paw at the river beach below the slope.
"Which way do you want to go?"
Gu Lang frowned and looked at the map, then shook his head and said, "That route is wrong..."
“Knock knock!”
Wang Ping knocked on the windshield, and when someone looked over, he pointed to the river again. This time, Gu Lang saw clearly that Wang Ping was not pointing to the valley on the west side, but to a leeward depression next to the valley on the other side of the river.
"Going there? Why going there?" Gu Laosan looked confused.
Wang Ping pointed to the roof of the car. There was nothing on it except someone's tent.
"You mean we should camp here?" Gu Lang looked up at the hollow again, shook his head and said, "It's a good place, but it's only noon now. We just set out less than two hours ago. It's too early to set up camp."
"I don't care! You have to stay here anyway!"
The badger really didn't know how to express himself, and was about to start his rogue tactics. But at this moment, Gu Laosan seemed to be attracted by something and turned his head to look at the Gobi Desert in the east. Then he was stunned, with his mouth wide open.
Wang Ping also turned his head to look, and found that the vast Gobi Desert, which had only a little sand and wind before, had now rolled up countless smoke and dust, forming a huge sandstorm that was sweeping across the wilderness.
"I think the place the boss pointed out is not bad either, it's surrounded by mountains and water, it's great!"
Gu Laosan said with a righteous look on his face.
