Body 444 To Yining

    In fact, there was another main reason for the merger of the two parties, which Hong Tao himself did not know.  In addition to water and climate factors, safety is more important.

    Ever since he raided Sanyuan County with paratroopers and annexed the Northwest Alliance overnight without bloodshed, the survivor groups in various places have been a little nervous, for fear that one day he will become a rubber stamp in the council.

    Although Xinjiang Province is far away, it does not dare to underestimate it. In the long run, the Ili River Valley region has a far more complex geographical environment than Urumqi, and is farther away and better defended.

    There are only four roads to enter the Ili River Valley by land; the first is from Kuitun to the south along the Duku Highway to Nalati; the second is from Urumqi to the south to Barentai Town, and to Nalati from the east; the third is  , turn west from Urumqi to Sailimu Lake, turn south, pass through Huocheng, turn back to the east, and go around to the back of Yining; the fourth railway from Hami to Yining.

    Of these four roads, the first and fourth roads have been tightly controlled by the Redeemer. Not only are there guards stationed in Kuitun, but there are also guards in several tunnels on the northern section of the Duku Highway.

    The tunnel here is very interesting, with a door, a cement gate.  The defenders don't have to do anything, as long as the tunnel gate is blocked, the world will be in balance.

    There is a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. In summer, it rains when it rains, and it snows when it snows. It's either mudslides or landslides.

    The second road is also not easy to walk. The road near Barentai Town is built in the middle of the valley. Due to the surge of rain in recent years, the river has washed away a section of the roadbed.

    The Redeemer built a chain bridge, which can only pass small vehicles and pedestrians. If they face an enemy attack, they don't need to fight. They destroy the chain bridge, and then hide in the fortifications on the mountainside to fight coldly.

    Catch up with summer, maybe the flood will come at any time, and in winter, a heavy snowfall can block the road, and you don't even need to fight, just don't go out, don't come in.

    The third road is easier to defend and harder to attack, and it is also the longest detour, hundreds of kilometers longer than the first two.  Not far from Sailimu Lake, there is a bridge across the mountains, called Guozigou Bridge.

    Unfortunately, an earthquake occurred here in the fifth year of the outbreak of the zombie disease, and the bridge was broken. Not only outsiders could not enter, but people in the Ili River Valley could not get out. This road basically existed in name only.

    This is about entering the Ili River Valley from northern Xinjiang. If you go from southern Xinjiang, there are still two ways to enter.  The first one is from Kuqa to the north along the Duku Highway, or to Nalati; the second one is from Ruoqiang to the north, passing through Korla and arriving at Barentai Town.

    See it, whether you go from northern Xinjiang or southern Xinjiang, you have to pass through the towns of Nalati and Barentai.  These two original tourist check-in resorts have now become battlegrounds for military strategists.

    If it wasn't for the oil extraction from Karamay, the Redeemer would not have to station troops in Kuitun. As long as the tunnel on the Duku Highway was blown up, even the town of Barentai would not need to be guarded. As long as Nalati is controlled, it can block the  All those who come by land in the three directions of north, east and south.

    To the west is Khorgos, and beyond that is Kazakhstan. The survivors there have basically come here, so there is no need to worry about any large-scale survivor groups.

    The land can't get in, what about the air?  Since the Redeemer decided to establish a base in Yining, they spent more than three years sending people to destroy the airport runway east of Wuwei, including the west of Qinghai.  I dare not say 100%, anyway, as long as there is one that can be found on the map, it counts as one.

    In this way, the nearest airport is 2,000 kilometers away from Nalati, and there is no place to land or refuel midway. Even if the U.S. Air Force is called in, all the C130s that can land at a field airport for a short distance are not too bad.  Easy to handle.

    And as time goes by, aviation kerosene is basically cut off, and the highway is also covered by dust. Even if the c130 really comes, I dare not land on the grass casually.  The field airport is also an airport. For a big guy weighing dozens of tons, the ground may not be flat, but the hardness must be guaranteed, otherwise everyone will eat shit.

    Gu </span> "Go back, I can walk the road ahead by myself." How should Hong Tao go to the Yining base?  Ten days later, three horses carrying two people and several large packages appeared in the valley below the Guozigou Bridge.

    The bridge is broken, and ordinary people may not be able to cross it, but for the Crimea, who travels back and forth between the mountains at least twice a year, the presence or absence of the bridge does not affect his passage.  Even if there is a bridge, it is impossible to drive sheep and vehicles to run on the highway together.

    In the experience handed down from the grandparents year after year, there are small paths to cross every mountain and every valley.  Of course, it is not allowed to drive a car, nor to ride a motorcycle or bicycle. You can only ride a horse, and in many places you have to lead a horse on foot.

    Today is the day when Hong Tao went to the Yining baseAs a child, Crimean not only prepared two slaughtered sheep and two pieces of horse intestines, but also packed two large packages of sheep cheese and horse cheese in sheepskin bags.

    Hong Tao didn't ask what these meant, some things don't need to be communicated in words.  Ever since he told Crimea that he would buy a Kazakh or Kirgiz woman from the Yining base to be his wife, this lonely shepherd became extraordinarily diligent, secretly sewing new leather jackets and new felt tents, what he meant was clear at a glance.  .

    "I know you are a Han Chinese, and you came here to avoid your enemies. We are brothers, be careful of the Han people, they are bad!" Kerim was a little bit reluctant. In previous years, he would go away for several months without showing this emotion.

    Because he knows that this eccentric Han is not afraid of wild animals and bandits, he is a snow leopard in the wild, and he, a shepherd dog who lives and sleeps in the open air since childhood, has to bow down.  But there are too many people in the Yining base, there are all kinds of clans, and there are too many guns. No matter how strong a person is, sometimes they can't handle it.

    "Don't worry, I'm really there to sell goods. There are acquaintances there, and I won't be bullied. If I can't find him, I will throw these things away and come back immediately. By the way, you don't want to go fishing on a sailboat, think  Eat fish and wait for me to come back. Drivedrive"

    The scene of the two old men's reluctance made Hong Tao's eyes a little hot. In order to avoid showing his true feelings, he hurriedly yelled at the old pack horse under his crotch to walk away on the grass that had just turned green.

    In the blink of an eye, we have been together for seven years, and we are still the only partner. No matter who loses the other person, they only face loneliness.  Even a shepherd who is used to being alone still needs someone to accompany him, it doesn¡¯t matter whether it is of the opposite sex or the same sex, this feeling has gone beyond the scope of ordinary emotions

    In fact, there is no road at all under the feet. The so-called sheep trails are places where the sheep find their feet more easily when they rely on their instincts to climb over the mountain.  If there is no guidance and a simple road map from Crimea, if you want to climb over this mountain ridge and then go around the mountain in front, you will be able to tire out Hong Tao's shit.

    In this way, he walked for a whole day, and had to make do at night on the branch of a big tree on the mountainside.  That taste All kinds of animals are scurrying around, and there is a biting cold wind blowing from time to time. It is strange to be able to fall asleep after a few years of adaptation.

    In fact, there is a closer path that can bypass the Broken Bridge, but it eventually has to return to the southern end of the Broken Bridge.  Crimea said that there was a garrison of the Redeemer there, and those guys had robbed his sheep, so it is not recommended to go. It would be better to walk around the mountain for half a day than to be killed by someone and just throw it into the ravine.

    Hong Tao took this suggestion very seriously. Although he could kill them first, this trip to Yining was not to continue to be Yuluo.

    Two days later, one man and two horses finally turned out of the ravine and returned to the abandoned road.  Although the road still twists and turns in the ravine, at least it is flat, so there is no need to lead a horse on foot.

    "Ha finally let me see it!" After walking for more than three hours, the mountain gradually slowed down, and a large area of ??bright purple appeared in front of it.  Hong Tao took out his binoculars and scanned to see what it was, lavender, large areas of lavender bloomed, one of the beauties in the Huocheng area.

    When I traveled to Xinjiang Province in the past, I did not catch up with the flowering season. Now that there is no human planting, these plants have not bowed to nature, and they are still growing lushly.  It is nothing more than some white, yellow, and red flowers mixed in, but this way it looks more natural.  (
