    "Hey, don't leave in a hurry, I still have investigation matters to discuss with you What are you looking at, Jiao Qiao is not at home, he went to inspect the Shenyang base, and he just left this afternoon."

    Seeing that Zhou Yuan was about to leave, Lin Na quickly got up and chased to the door. It was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night. You said that you were happy and walked away. I drank half a pot of tea and went back to sleep.  Come on, don't leave anyone, see you until dawn!

    "Hey, is Lan Yuer so skinny that she dared to lie to me! Call her in, I'm too lazy to write, let her record it for me!"

    It was good that Zhou Yuan didn't listen, but when she heard that Jiao Qiao was not at home, she immediately remembered Lan Yuer's words.  You are confident, right? You don¡¯t know that Lord Ma has three eyes, right? Then I¡¯ll let you taste what it¡¯s like to stay up late to take minutes of a meeting. You¡¯re not even a word away!

    "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells"

    Just as the adjudicator searched for suspicious persons within the control area, the delegation was waiting for news from the magpies, and Zhou Yuan was busy planning his visit, the source of all the chaos, the incarnation of justice Yolo, the herdsman Bires, and the refugee Avanti  Hong Tao, the dead ghost, also walked out of the Yining checkpoint with his horse, humming a little song and walking slowly towards the south.

    Last night, I made do with Fang Wenlin's house for a night, and focused on inquiring about the adjudicator's situation, but the result was very unsatisfactory.  Fang Wenlin had only heard about this secret organization, but he didn't know the inside story.  When he was in the base, there was no Penance Society at all, let alone an adjudicator.

    However, Hong Tao was very happy. As the saying goes, there is no light in the east and light in the west. Although he didn't ask about the adjudicator's information, he got an unexpected surprise.  It turns out that from Yining to Nanjiang, you don't need to detour through Kucha or Licheng, and there is a small road that can go directly to WS County at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain.

    Fang Wenlin didn't deliberately show the way. He just heard that Hong Tao went to Licheng to pan for gold.

    When the Yining base was first established, they also gradually cleaned up the surrounding towns like a rescue team, collecting living supplies while looking for more survivors.

    At that time, it was a Kazakh survivor who led the team to search around, that is, Camilla's father.  He was born in Yining, where he goes to school, works and lives, and is very familiar with the landforms and environments near the Yili River Valley.

    At the same time, he is also a geologist. Due to his work, he has been wandering around with the exploration team for many years, and knows many trails that even the shepherds seldom touch.

    In order to get in touch with the survivors in southern Xinjiang, he took three people over the mountains and ridges, and successfully arrived in ws county through this path.  And half a year later, with hundreds of survivors assembled from Baishui City, Kungang, Wensu, and Qiuci, they crossed the Tianshan Mountains and returned to Yining along the southern section of the Duku Highway.

    It is precisely because of this feat that Camilla's father has a high reputation in the Yining base.  Fang Wenlin and him are chess friends, they both love to play chess, and they quickly became friends.

    During a chess chat, Fang Wenlin asked Camilla's father what kind of road would be so difficult and dangerous. Four people went there, but three of them died on the road.

    Camilla's father said that this road is called the Shatter Ancient Road, and after crossing the Tianshan Mountains from the Shatter Ranch in Zs County, you can reach Pochengzi in WS County.  The reason why it is called an ancient road shows that this road is not newly opened, but should be ancient.

    Yes, it has a long history and is said to be the most difficult ancient pass on the Silk Road.  This difficulty is reflected in several aspects: first of all, it is high. After crossing the Tianshan Mountains, the altitude is close to 4,000 meters. Those who are too sensitive to high mountains will be directly brushed down.

    The second is the changeable climate. The high-altitude areas of the Tianshan Mountains are covered with thick snow all year round, and the temperature is very low at night.  Starting from the foot of the mountain, it was summer when I first climbed the mountain, and it was spring and autumn when I reached the mountainside. When I reached the top of the mountain, there would be snowflakes, and it was not warm to wear a sheepskin jacket.  If your health is not very good, you can quit if you catch a cold every now and then.

    Finally, the terrain is particularly complex. Along the way, there are meadows, woods, canyons, rapids, Gobi, as well as snow caps, glaciers, and glaciers, especially glaciers full of fissures.  At that time, two of the three companions who traveled with Camilla's father stumbled and fell into the bottomless crevasse with no bones left.

    But the most troublesome thing is not the above three points. Since there are many canyons, rapids and glaciers on this road, no means of transportation, including horses, can help except walking on two legs.

    In other words, during the nearly 100-kilometer traversal, all food, clothing, and equipment have to be carried on their own.  Think about it, just go up and down at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and you have to walk for several days with a heavy load. The difficulty can be imagined.

    Having said so many difficulties and obstacles, are there any benefits?  There must be, otherwise why would Hong Tao be having fun secretly.  There is only one advantage of this ancient road, that is the distance fromIt's near!

    Driving from Yining to Ws County, the Duku Highway opens in summer and autumn, and the distance is about 900 kilometers; in winter and spring, you have to detour to Licheng, and the distance will increase to more than 1,200 kilometers.  But taking the Shater Ancient Road, it is only 300 kilometers from Yining, of which less than 200 kilometers still have roads.

    If it was placed before the outbreak of the zombie disease, no matter how close the distance was, no one except explorers would have taken this ancient path.  Who is willing to trek hundreds of kilometers on foot with luggage on their backs, and take great risks to cross the turbulent glaciers and climb through the rugged ice crevasses, just to save that little gas money and high-speed tolls?

    But now and then, in addition to large groups of survivors, there are still vehicles and motorcycles. Anyone who wants to go to southern Xinjiang has to use his legs. At most, he can get a bicycle or a horse to travel.  But on the way, not only have to pass through checkpoints, but also bear the risk of being robbed or even killed by refugees.

    In such a comparison, the ancient hiking trail is no longer a waste in the eyes of some people, such as Hong Tao, who are willing to take risks and have the capital to take risks, and they are of great use value.

    There is another question. Since it is an ancient road with a long history, Camilla's father must not be the only one who knows. There are many locals and even survivors from ZS County in the Yining base. Would they not know?  If he knew, wouldn't the Redeemer set up a card on the road to prevent the rebels from sneaking in and destroying it?

    In fact, Hong Tao also raised this very critical question. If the Redeemer has already controlled or blocked the Shater Ancient Road, then it really has no practical significance for him.  A person who took such a big risk and narrowly escaped death still can't escape other people's surveillance, so why bother.

    However, Fang Wenlin's answer rekindled Hong Tao's desire to explore. The Redeemer didn't block this ancient road!  It's not that they are stupid, nor are they ignorant, but that they don't have to worry about it at all. The Ancient Chateau Road has already been blocked by nature.

    Earthquake, the epicenter of the big earthquake a few years ago was at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and then this ancient road was blocked by the collapse of the mountain.  In fact, for so many years, the rebel army has never infiltrated from the direction of the Shater Ancient Road. The Redeemer only set up two checkpoints on the mountain road from Yining to Zhaosu and Bagua City.
