Chapter 934 The Test of Nature (Guaranteed Monthly Ticket 2)
Fortunately, they all have goggles and goggles. At least there is no need to worry about the appearance of snow blindness certificates. However, the snow in the Gobi Desert is not that thick. outside.
No matter what they thought, they soon arrived at their destination, where there were already large supply vehicles below that would refuel the helicopters.
After landing, their mission was displayed directly on their tablet, and they had to hike 180 kilometers north-east before reaching their destination.
After getting off the helicopter, the helicopter began to replenish fuel. Yang Rui and the others were not talking nonsense, but started to move directly.
When they walked into the wind and snow, they realized that it was a huge problem for them to forget to bring their tents, because the wind was about five or six degrees at the moment, and it was still the vast Gobi Desert, there was no shelter at all, and the wind was blowing on the face. Just like a knife.
Although they wore helmets, they weren't full-coverage cotton hats.
At this time, they also understood why Jiang Yanhai allowed them to carry all the supplies, because what they were facing was not the problem of food and drinking water, but the cruel test from nature!
After walking for seven or eight kilometers in this way, Yang Rui suddenly said: "I suggest that if we see some burning wood and other burning materials, we should bring all of them, otherwise, we will have a hard time at night. ."
There are not many things that can be burned in the Gobi Desert, although ALS is not without everything. For example, tumbleweed, the most common plant in the Gobi Desert, is there, and it is also easy to burn.
But it is impossible for this kind of thing to burn overnight. What they are looking for is some wood that has been withered for a long time. If these things are found, they must be brought with them.
They have also looked at the terrain here, and it is not completely flat, and it is not difficult to find a sheltered place to start a fire at night.
As long as there is a fire, the night is not so difficult, but it is not easy to find fuel that can burn for a night, but if it is hard to find them, there is no way to find them now. will inevitably increase.
"Come on!" I don't know who roared, and everyone else roared, and then began to walk on foot again.
They all have similar experience in such extreme survival training. Walking is not like 10 kilometers or several kilometers of armed cross-country running. They have to distribute their physical strength.
"In this way, we divide into several rows and walk side by side. The last row blocks the air vents at the back, and several rows of people take turns. In this way, the front ones can maintain their body temperature." Gong Jian made another comment. Almost everyone was divided into three rows.
The people in the last row walked on the tuyere to block the wind for the people in front. Although it couldn't block all the cold wind, it worked.
"How is it?" Jiang Yanhai, who had returned to a command car at this moment, asked.
"Their physical characteristics are intact. The temperature during the day is only about minus 10 degrees. They have no problem with it. The night is the most difficult time for them, but they have already realized the problem. According to the observation of our drone, they are consciously Collect and take some wood."
"Well, pay close attention to their safety status." Jiang Yanhai nodded, these people are the most elite, Jiang Yanhai could not tolerate their losses.
Training is a must, but this kind of loss in a non-war state is also unacceptable to Jiang Yanhai.
The time finally came to night. When the sun went down, the surrounding temperature was constantly decreasing, especially the wind at night seemed to be stronger. At this moment, the temperature was close to minus 20 degrees, although it had not reached the lowest temperature.
Their driving distance today is still ok. It was in the afternoon when they set off today, and they have walked about 60 kilometers in about 7 hours.
The average walking distance per hour is nearly 9 kilometers, which is already very fast, not to mention that when they carry wood and other fuels later, the load on their bodies is still increasing.
And the main load is still a trivial matter, because the wood is relatively large and difficult to transport, which is the test for them.
"Gong Jian, Lao Gao, Shao Bing, we can't go." Yang Rui finally spoke.
"If this continues, our team members will be injured, and the temperature will continue to decrease. During the day, we can maintain body heat by walking and exercising, but now our physical energy is rapidly depleted, and with the low temperature, accidents will occur when we walk."
"There is a leeward place over there, go there and set up camp!" There was moonlight tonight, and the ground was covered with snow, so the surrounding light was fine. Gong Jian quickly found a leeward area ahead.
Fortunately, they have traveled 60 kilometers on foot. The area they are currently in is no longer a flat Gobi area, but has some uneven terrain, and sometimes even some hills, so it is still possible to find some shelter from the wind. .
In such a large northwest, shelter from the wind is very important. At this moment, there is snow on the Gobi Desert. Once the white-haired wind blows, sometimes it really takes a few minutes to freeze people to death.
When they arrived at the place pointed by Gong Arrow, they soon found a better place a few hundred meters ahead. That place happened to be a semicircle, which could block the wind from three sides.
Everyone quickened their pace, and when they walked over, they picked up some tumbleweeds, which could be used as ignition materials.
Arriving at the sheltered place, everyone immediately took action. There were more than 60 people, each of them carrying some fuel. So much wood gathered together at this moment is really a lot.
After a few minutes, the raging flames finally ignited, and everyone who didn't want to speak couldn't help but let out a cheer.
The raging flames dispelled the cold, and although one fire could not cover everyone, their conditions did not allow them to build a second fire.
Their fuel is only enough for a fire to burn for one night, but their place is sheltered from the wind in three directions. As long as most people are crowded in this area, then people in crowded people will definitely not feel cold. People near the fire outside have the warmth of the fire, so it shouldn't be a problem.
More than 60 big men crowded into a large group. Fortunately, the area of this place is not small, otherwise so many people would really not be able to squeeze out.
When we started to rest, everyone took out the canned beef first, but after taking it out, everyone smiled bitterly, thinking that they have been walking in the wild at minus 20 degrees Celsius, this backpack is not an air conditioner, no Possibly insulated.
Everyone knows what the canned beef inside is like.
