It's 280 kilometers away. If you put it on the highway, it's nothing at all. It takes up to two hours to drive around.
However, there is obviously no highway here, and the road conditions on the gravel road are getting worse and worse as you go south. Even if the Hummer can withstand tossing, it is not a tank that walks flat on any road condition after all. Puddles up to half a meter deep can be seen everywhere, let alone moving at full speed. It's good to be able to maintain the speed of 40 or 50 pulses.
Gradually, there was no one heavy truck transporting ore and wood. The grass and woods on both sides of the road were obviously dense, even in the middle of the road.
The long grass on the road can only explain one problem, that is, few people come here.
From time to time, rabbits and other small animals appear. After being frightened, they move and jump and disappear.
When the left front wheel of the car slammed down a puddle, Fang Yuan unexpectedly found a gray wolf emerging from the roadside grass, staring at the car coldly and greedily, and soon disappeared.
There are long grass on the road and wolves appear. The road ahead is more and more unclear under the cover of wild grass. Fortunately, there are long abandoned electric poles on both sides of the road, which appear from time to time to guide the circle forward.
These electric poles are made of cement, which is the simplest and coarsest. The gray color looks particularly conspicuous in the lush everywhere. Some have been broken and hung down from half the waist. The thumb like reinforcement is exposed, and the bending place is rusted into the thickness of No. 8 iron wire.
It seems that when a gust of wind comes, the reinforcement can be 'blown off'.
Fangyuan didn't get off again to search for the trace of Kunlun.
It's really unnecessary. There is only one road within 300 kilometers to the south. Even if Kunlun is used to taking an unusual road, she can't walk through the dense forests on both sides of the road.
The woods on both sides of the road can definitely be called dense forests. There are not only various kinds of trees closely connected, but also many unspeakable vines attached to the trees and woven into crude spider webs. Anyone who walks from inside has to cut them off with a knife.
Without necessity, Kunlun would not go through the woods even if the road had become a forest.
Who can imagine the road full of small trees?
It's normal for weeds to grow out of the road, but the small trees with the thickness of the rolling pin arch through the road. This scenery reminds Fang Yuan of the Jiankou Great Wall in China.
The Jiankou Great Wall of the Great Wall, which is about 20 kilometers long, winds between the mountains. It is rare for people to visit for hundreds of years. Plants with strong vitality drill out of the cracks in the bricks and grow arrogantly, just like evil spirits escaping from hell, holding their heads up and showing their teeth and grinning.
Of course, the road is not as hard as the Great Wall made of big green bricks. There are no thick trees growing on the road. It is still because these trees do not have hardwoods such as pine, cypress, jujube and Sophora japonica, which are good at "overcoming difficulties". The wild soil on both sides of the road is soft. Only those trees that have no foothold will choose to take root and sprout from the road, It is normal that the growth rate is slow.
Fortunately, the road is hard enough to hinder the crazy growth of trees. Only in this way can Fangyuan shift to low gear, increase the accelerator and drive like a bulldozer, so that the small trees can be crushed to the ground.
"Ow!"
There was a shrill cry of a wild wolf, which came not far from the left rear of the car.
Immediately, Fang Yuan heard a wolf responding not far from the front: "Ow!"
With the howling of wild wolves, Fang Yuan felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by at least ten degrees, and even the sun in the sky turned red.
It was already evening, and Fang Yuan had been driving all afternoon before he knew it.
The cry of wild wolves reminds Fang Yuan: boy, you have been watched by the wolves. Hurry to wash your own clothes and wait for the gentlemen to have a good meal!
Looking at the small trees falling out as the car rolled and listened to the howling of wild wolves, Fang Yuan suddenly remembered a section of geographical knowledge he had seen before.
After the end of the war on the peninsula, North Korea and South Korea took the women's line (38th line) as their borders and retreated 20 kilometers respectively as buffer areas to prevent conflicts from breaking out at any time.
At that time, there were still many small villages in that place. After all, the peninsula was also densely populated. There must be at least hundreds of villages in the buffer area about 40 kilometers wide.
However, with that area being designated as a buffer zone for both sides, it only took 60 years to become a forest. It is said that the long extinct Amur tiger has appeared.
From this point of view, the earth's self-healing ability is still quite strong. As long as human beings can no longer waste the environment for their own interests and survival, the earth can also give animals a paradise with blue sky and green water.
According to the top secret report kept by vampire bats, the Carmen tragedy has occurred for more than 80 years and 70 years since the end of World War II. After humans had to withdraw for some reason, the plant world took the lead in waking up and restoring the environment damaged by humans as quickly as possible.
Look at the small trees that have been rolled. Fang Yuan believes that if it comes five years later, the road will completely disappear in the forest. Even if the navigator can accurately mark the road (the road has never changed), don't want to drive here.
A wild wolf with the shape of a calf appeared from more than ten meters behind the car. Its bright red tongue stretched out like blood dripping.
Judging from the wolf's hair, we can see that its life is quite good. It's smooth and oily. It doesn't lack food and drink.
In particular, zoologists have long said that the wolf is a quite rational animal?
When they are not short of food, they rarely take the initiative to attack their prey, especially humans.
It's the nature of wolves to make their prey fatter and bigger, and then kill them moderately. They are much better than greedy humans (we accidentally found a pond in the wilderness with a large number of fish in it, so we didn't just take enough for ourselves, but had to net it up). Why do we start thinking about a circle now?
Fang Yuan really wanted to stop and ask the wolf (with a knife), but he didn't understand what was going on until he saw that the increasing number of wild wolves were just silently following behind the car without making any layout.
More than three wolves can cooperate with each other and kill prey with a clear division of labor. This is their nature. It is also known as a natural strategist in the animal kingdom who knows best how to cooperate in combat in addition to humans.
It is said that the military tactics of Mongolian cavalry that swept Europe and Asia in those years evolved from the hunting of wolves (of course, it is said that the book of the annals of the Three Kingdoms, which is widely circulated in the Central Plains, also helped the Mongolian boss, especially the move of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao", which was used by them).
It's not when they invade the territory, but when they're ready to drive them out.
As long as Fang Yuan does not intend to settle here, they will only send him "out of the country" and there will be no conflict.
He didn't come all the way here to settle down and fight these local snakes. He just wanted to get to Carmen as quickly as possible, find the silly woman, tell her, 'I'm wrong, I may be a bit of an asshole', and then go through Outer Mongolia and return to inner China after getting her forgiveness.
Fortunately, at noon today, Fangyuan just added gasoline to the car (there are several barrels of gasoline behind the car, which is ready to go to the desert, so it's easy not to move). You don't have to get off the car to refuel. Misunderstood by the wolves, you just need to increase the accelerator and rush forward.
Slowly, the blood red sun was completely hidden in the clouds.
After the red of the horizon fades gradually, it represents the arrival of night.
Fang Yuan turned on the lights.
The row of strong searchlights across the roof, after the snow-white light column is swept out, can let the surrounding area see many fleeting light spots, including blue, red and green.
Fang Yuan knows that these light spots are the eyes of small animals.
Judging from the density of light spots, Fang Yuan is very pleased with the dozens of wild wolves behind the car: they are lucky enough to eat and drink.
When the number of wolves increases to more than ten, even tigers, bears and blind people dare not easily provoke them.
In that case, Fangyuan doesn't have to be afraid of these local snakes anymore. Besides, even without the protection of the car, the wolves don't have the ability to treat him.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary conflict, he raised the windows and drove forward as fast as possible along the guidance of the concrete telegraph pole.
It's completely dark.
The night in Carmen, which has been regarded as a primitive forest, is many times darker than that in the city. The lights are brighter and brighter.
Of course, even if there are no lights to illuminate, you can see the road ahead.
"You have reached your destination, you have reached your destination, you have --"
Based on the international principle of saying important things three times, it is equipped with advanced vehicle navigator to remind Fang Yuan that Fang Yuan has come to Carmen town three times in a row.
When it comes to the popular "say important things three times", let's mention the famous German philosopher Derek Wilhelm Nietzsche, uncle Nietzsche, because this sentence was first said by him, and I believe few people know it.
What's more, he didn't expect that a certain sentence he said became popular after so many years of death.
Is this Carmen?
Fang Yuan raised his foot on the accelerator, raised his hand to open the skylight, stood up, stretched out half of his body, and looked around with doubts.
After 70 or 80 years of silence, Carmen town will be full of weeds and trees, which has long been thought of and experienced.
Just according to the fixed thinking mode that mankind has adapted to modern cities, as long as it is called a small town, even if it has not been inhabited for 70 or 80 years, it must have the shadow of a town?
In other words, Loulan ancient country, which has been broken down for more than 1000 years in the Taklimakan Desert, has not seen the ruins of the city after being found by people?
It's still in the golden desert after the wind and sand. The environment here is much stronger than that there. Even if it has been bombed, it can't even see the shadow of the ruins.
Just when Fang Yuan suspected that the Navigator "said important things three times" might be short circuited and talking nonsense due to environmental impact, he suddenly found something he shouldn't have found: a wall suddenly appeared tens of meters ahead.
This is a wall seven or eight meters high, covered with weeds and trees.
The reason why Fang Yuan can be sure that this is a wall is because there is no mountain that suddenly appears in front of the road. It will be straight up and down, and the height is general, just like a winding snake, so it is very abrupt in front.
There are no signs.
Behind, it was also dead quiet, and those wild wolves did not know when they had disappeared.
