After the conditions were agreed upon, we took a good nap and felt that the fatigue was gone. Liu Yun also woke up and replenished a little water.

Adaline saw that we were all ready, so he urged us to set off.

"Liu Yun, can you still leave?" I asked with concern.

Liu Yun gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I arranged for two people to carry her. She will be fine. Trust me, I don't want anything to happen to your people." Adalin didn't want me to have any excuses to delay. Obviously, there was still time.

Not much is left.

Ararat is located on the northwest border of Turkey, at the junction with Armenia and Iran. There are two Ararat mountains here, one is called Big Ararat and the other is called Little Ararat. The one we are going to is the high mountain.

The great Ararat Mountain is over 5,000 meters tall.

Brother Peng asked me what I just said to Adalin, and he seemed to understand it but not quite understand it.

I explained to him that I would tell him everything I knew when I got back.

"I know about Mount Ararat. There is news that Noah's Ark is docked there." Brother Peng still couldn't hold back and said it.

"Yes, I know." I said.

"Is that our destination? Are they just going to find Noah's Ark?" Brother Peng asked.

"There may be more things I know. But Brother Peng, believe me, it's not the right time to talk about these things now. I will tell you in the future." I swear to God.

"I'm more concerned about how we can escape after we find it. Just now Hulu told me that storms will start blowing here every October, and heavy snow will block the mountains in November and December. Now there is not much time left.

But..." Brother Peng actually values ​​his own life, but this is nonsense, who doesn't value his own life.

"If you believe me, don't ask. I won't die, and you won't die either." Because the escape method Adaline mentioned is indeed difficult, the fewer people know about it, the higher the success rate.

"Okay, I have always believed in you." It was obvious that Brother Peng was not satisfied with my answer, but he still listened to me.

In this way, we walked for several days in strong winds. At that time, we saw on the news that in the Siberian region north of China, people could hear the sound of freezing into ice when they breathed. Now I seem to have experienced this feeling personally.

This kind of cold is different from winter in China. In the north of China, it is dry and cold. There is less cold weather in the south, but it is indeed wet and cold, which makes it more uncomfortable. But the cold now is that biting feeling, no matter how thick clothes you wear,

In front of the strong wind, it is no different than being naked.

Adalin equipped each of us with a pot of soju, and we drank it when it was too cold. Brother Peng said it was Russian vodka, forty degrees. I said sarcastically, if each of us had a bottle of Erguotou, or six

The 17-degree puree is white-dried, so it won’t be a problem to climb the Ararat Mountains.

At first we were chatting and laughing to adjust the atmosphere, but then no one said anything. When he opened his mouth, the wind filled his mouth, which made his small intestines feel cold. Hulu said that he would probably lose twenty pounds this time when he goes back. I say you

Damn it, I only weigh a little over 100 kilograms, and I can still gain weight even if I lose 20 pounds! He said that he has a large base, and I can reduce it in proportion.

The worst thing was for Liu Yun. She might as well come down and take a few steps. She couldn't bear the cold just sitting there. With her weak constitution and the fainting she had suffered in the past few days, she still couldn't do it easily. Then she followed Dong.

Running west. What a pitiful person, but fortunately Lao Ma took good care of him. This guy probably fell in love with Liu Yun. On such a cold day, he gave Liu Yun his fleece jacket, and he was only wearing underwear and a jacket.

, If you let me go, I would have frozen to death.

Forget about the painful march during the day, at least I know that I am still alive, and it is even more sad at night. There are no caves or pits, and our tent cannot hold up in such strong winds. Adaline always looks for some corners that can shelter from the wind.

Come to rest, it is difficult to light a fire here, so we can only cling to each other to keep warm. The people in the survey team are lucky, they are as strong as yaks. It is only us who suffer, but we are still humane, everyone

We were always squeezed in at the very end. Otherwise, if we closed our eyes at night, we might not be able to open them the next day.

Even so, in the morning I felt like my limbs were not my own, and I had to move for a long time before I could walk.

At noon on the fourth day, the strong wind seemed to have abated, and finally we arrived at the foot of Mount Ararat. The cat said happily: "I must light a fire quickly and eat some hot noodle soup. It has been like chewing on those stones in the past two days."

The beef is so delicious that all the teeth are almost falling out.”

We kept nodding in agreement: "I want to have a good sleep next to the fire."

But at this time Adaline did not reflect her previous kindness: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. The wind is light now and we will arrive at our destination early and have a good rest, otherwise we will have to freeze outside."

Climbing a mountain is different from walking on flat ground. Although we are already on a plateau, the mountain still has enough height to torment us to death.

There is a Chinese saying that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. In fact, I have climbed mountains many times before, and I always feel that it is easier when going down the mountain. Later I heard someone else say it, and the focus of this sentence is on the safety of mountain climbing.

But with such a height and such a slope, it is a very severe test whether going up or down the mountain. Adalin prepared ladder ropes to connect us one by one. At least this way there will be no danger caused by slipping.

Of course, she meant to let those twenty or so people protect a few of us. This is necessary.

Hulu told me that we were going to climb the southern slope of Mount Ararat, which is relatively gentle. However, in the plateau area, you will feel exhausted if you move even a little bit. After all, oxygen is scarce.

"Adaline, do you have an oxygen tank? I feel like Liu Yun can't hold on any longer." Due to the steepness of the mountain climbing, Liu Yun could no longer be carried, so she could only push on, but she couldn't even walk on a flat road.

My body is strenuous and climbing mountains is even more difficult.

"It's okay, I can hold on." Liu Yun said firmly.

"What a good girl. We didn't prepare oxygen bags, but there will be enough time for you to rest at the destination, provided you can get there alive." Adalin's words seemed to be neither painful nor itchy.

"You're so good Liu Yun, please work harder and I'll give you a good meal when we get back." I cheered her up.

"Don't worry, Ye Fei, I can do it." Liu Yun said with certainty.

"Well, I believe you, would you like some vodka?" I handed over the bottle.

Liu Yun took a sip, coughed twice, and signaled us to move on.

The landform of the Cappadocia Plateau is different from the plateau we usually understand. Only the deep parts of the mountains are hard rocks. The outer layer is covered with sandstone. It is eroded by wind all year round and there is very little water. There are many stones.

It breaks with just one step. Hersha reminds us that the mountains under our feet, including this mountain, are extremely unstable.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, which is reflected in the fact that the further you go, the harder it is to walk. Originally, I didn’t have the strength to walk such a road anymore, but now I am rushing to the top and using up my energy to complete the so-called task.

"Are these people all animals?" Cat panted and pointed at the survey team members.

The wind is much lighter now, at least we can open our mouths. For people like us, if we don't speak, we might as well die.

"They must have gone through this kind of training many times before coming here. I think some of them may not be able to bear it, but those people are probably hanging in some corner of the world and have never met us." In the past.

I heard Xiao Ai say that their organization will only keep those who have been tested. At first, I couldn't imagine the consequences of losers, but Hesha made me understand that once the usefulness disappears, they will eventually be wiped out.

"Don't be so cautious as her mother said," Mao'er complained. This is still a humane society. There are indeed some murderers, but they won't let me encounter them every time, right?" Mao'er obviously didn't believe it.

"Don't believe me, buddy, look at the seventh one from the front, do you find anything?" I asked.

"Nothing?" Cat glanced casually.

"Look carefully, do you remember the arm we saw under the desert?" I prompted.

"What do you mean?" Cat seemed to have remembered.

"Yes, he should be the owner of that arm. Do you still think they are humane? They don't even spare their own people," I said.

"I feel like that Gesang from Kanas Lake..." Cat stuttered again.

"You finally found it."

"Could it be that they are?"

I made a silent gesture: "I think so."

Mao'er shuddered, remained silent for a long time and said: "Fuck."

In previous years, although the temperature in the Greater Ararat area is cold, it rarely snows. It is often severely droughty. It is said that the sheep that died six months ago will not rot to this day. But obviously we were not very lucky. It was our first time there.

We encountered the worst weather here. I thought maybe the monster inside seemed to sense something.

My role is probably like a fish, I don’t know anything anyway. Those dragons are so stupid. They get in one by one even though they know it’s a trap. It’s really incomprehensible to me. Maybe this is why they haven’t done anything for thousands of years.

The reason for showing up is that he has no brains and can't play with humans.

I don’t know how long I continued walking, but I felt like I couldn’t climb any more. Liu Yun was already being carried by a survey team member, but I was a man after all, and I couldn’t let anyone carry me even if I was exhausted.

"Adaline, when will we arrive?" I shouted hysterically, "I really can't walk anymore."

Adalin turned his head contemptuously, and then said: "Did you see that black spot in front? That is our destination, which is no more than two kilometers away."
