Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Yue Lin cried even harder, "Captain Wu, the more I think about it, the more scared I get. I haven't even gotten married yet, and my girlfriend is graduating from college this year. She's been waiting for me to marry her right after graduation, but today, I almost died here!"

"Bah! Crow's mouth! We're still a long way from death! Such a small thing frightens you like that, you coward!"

But even though she was scolded, Yue Lin couldn't stop crying.

"Captain Wu, I'm in a dilemma. If I don't do this, I'll be out of work, right? If I do this, I'm afraid I'll die here. I have elderly parents at home..."

"Stop it! Stop it! If you keep saying that, you'll drag your 200-year-old grandmother out of her grave!"

Wu Yongjie made a quick phone call and had someone report Yue Lin's information. He then asked the HR department, "How did you arrange it? Just because you wanted to get some training, you assigned him to my team? Are you crazy? Get him out of here right now!"

Having said that, Yue Lin couldn't leave immediately even if he wanted to.

The transportation here is inconvenient, and it is nearly 300 kilometers away from the county. Three cars came this time, and everyone went forward and backward together. It is impossible to drive a car specifically to send Yue Lin to the county just for him.

Ling Fengxi's situation is not much better than Wu Yongjie's. As the leader of the tunnel project, he also knows something about engineering.

He has come here more than once.

I thought I had made perfect preparations in all aspects when I came here this time, but something almost went wrong. The battle between man and nature is indeed very dangerous.

This put a lot of psychological pressure on him. It was really not easy to cross the Western Tianshan Mountains.

Is it really possible to successfully travel through time?

The old shepherd watched them curiously, and finally left with his flock as the sun rose higher.

Ling Fengxi made a note in his notebook, "We need a professional medical team stationed here permanently."

Add another sentence below, "Another expense."

Since we haven't officially settled in yet, we keep everything simple.

There was no decent food. I just boiled a pot of water, put more than twenty bags of instant noodles and more than twenty sausages in it, and that was lunch.

Afterwards, everyone scooped a bowl of noodles and sat around eating in silence.

Nothing has been done yet, yet everyone looks tired.

Ling Fengxi wanted to say something, but he felt like he was having trouble breathing. He also felt tired, so he could only turn around and continue observing the mountains, not wanting to face these cowards.

Wu Yongjie kicked Li Jianguo beside him and said, "Jianguo, how are you?"

Li Jianguo was still feeling dizzy and nauseous. He had just taken a bowl of instant noodles and hadn't taken a bite or two when he just shook his head with a pale face.

Wu Yongjie smiled and said, "Don't go anywhere today. Just have a good rest."

After dinner, Wu Yongjie saw Ling Fengxi heading higher up the mountain. Not wanting to be outdone, he followed him and said breathlessly, "Boss, I really want to do this job. I'm afraid if I refuse, I won't get such a big project in the future."

Ling Fengxi scratched his ears and said, "The dozen or so engineering teams before me all said the same thing as you, but they left the rest of their sentences unfinished."

Wu Yongjie became curious. "What's that unfinished sentence? I want to see if it's the same as mine."

"Even though you guys in charge really want to do it, the technical backbones in the team have all backed out, and you can't handle it alone, so you still can't take this job."

Wu Yongjie laughed awkwardly twice before saying, "Hasn't the research been completed yet? We still have two days to go... You have to give us time to think about it!"

It's only the second day, and you're asking for an answer? That's a bit too much!"

The two of them reached a higher place and looked down at the people in the camp.

After dinner, they each found a relatively comfortable place to lie down. It seemed that this place was good enough to live in, let alone work.

Wu Yongjie paid close attention to Li Jianguo. Although this young man looked young, he was the technical backbone of the team and only he could solve many technical problems.

He is well-educated, educated, and skilled, and has a serious work attitude, but he is a little thin and has the temperament of a weak scholar.

It really seems out of place with this mountain.

Ling Fengxi was looking at the weather forecast, which showed it would be sunny today.

Then he said to Wu Yongjie, "I'd better remind them to secure the tents and use any remaining equipment in the car."

"Why? Isn't it sunny today?"

"The weather forecast for this place is never very accurate. I see some dark clouds forming over there. There might be a yellow wind tonight, which could blow the tent away and cause trouble."

Wu Yongjie: "..." After a long pause, Wu Yongjie said, "The weather forecast is inaccurate, there's not enough oxygen, and there's no flat ground to sleep on. If I slip, I might fall down the mountain. Boss, are you sure we can carry out the project here?"

"It's because the weather forecast is inaccurate, there's not enough oxygen, there's no flat ground to sleep on, and if you slip you could be doomed. That's why we need to build this road here.

Otherwise, people on this side of the mountain will never be able to go to the other side, and people on the other side will not be able to come over either. How can the economy develop?"

"They're speaking official language again!" Wu Yongjie glanced at Ling Fengxi and didn't want to say anything else. Suddenly, he saw the old man herding sheep in the distance appear again.

He has already reached the opposite hill.

The flocks of sheep are like pearls scattered on a rocky mountain. They have a breathtaking magnificence under the sun, but at the same time they also make people feel boundless loneliness and despair.

"Anyway, I don't want to be herding sheep here for the rest of my life. The world out there is so beautiful!" Wu Yongjie started to talk nonsense. "Boss, your wife hasn't called you in the past few days? My wife is about to blow my phone up, she's worried every day that I'll die here."

Ling Fengxi stood up and left as if he didn't hear him.

Wu Yongjie did not dare to be careless and instructed the team members to reinforce the tents and adjust the rest mode as soon as possible. He required at least two people to squeeze into one tent and take turns sleeping. At least one person should stay awake at all times so that they can detect the drop in temperature and lack of oxygen in time, as well as some altitude sickness.

Everyone dragged their heavy bodies and started to move, and before the sun went down, everything was finally arranged.

Wu Yongjie shamelessly squeezed into Ling Fengxi's tent and said, "Big boss, please bear with me for a moment today. We'll go together."

Ling Fengxi said with a sullen face, "I need quiet to sleep. Don't talk to me unless what you say is the result."

Wu Yongjie covered his head with the quilt and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!"

It seemed like the sky turned dark in three seconds.

It really got dark suddenly.

Wu Yongjie is a rough guy, and he keeps grinding his teeth and farting when he sleeps. Ling Fengxi is not the kind of person who likes to be picky, so he just sleeps on his side.

That night, a white-hair wind blew as expected. Although the tent was reinforced and would not be blown away by the wind, it seemed that the tent had no ability to resist this white-hair wind. It could be felt that the wind was coming from all directions. Even if you wrapped yourself tightly in your sleeping bag and clothes, the wind was still like thin ice needles, drilling into your pores and bones.
