Chapter 540 Grand Canyon Adventure

"Can this place go back one day?"

After getting off the off-road vehicle, Li Guo was always worried about whether he would be able to go back before dark. Allen said, "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with my friend this time. If I don't go back by 11 o'clock in the evening, then he will come out to find me."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Not long after walking, we entered the Grand Canyon. The red conglomerate looked very special. Li Guo took out his mobile phone, "Wait for me, I'll take a picture."

Half an hour later, Li Guo had already drank two bottles of water, and Allen only drank one bottle, "Li Guo, you can't do this, if you run out of water, you can only drink your own urine."

Li Guo felt nauseous, and asked, "I remember your book said that during the few days you were trapped, you used to drink urine afterwards, is it true?"

"Yes, in that environment, as long as you can survive."

"Li Guo, there is a dangerous terrain ahead, you'd better not talk, especially not loudly."

The terrain here is a bit like a line of sky, with high rock walls on both sides and only a gap in the middle. Li Guo knew that A Lun's hand was caught in such an environment back then.

Walking in the middle, Li Guo opened his arms slightly, and he could touch the cliff walls on both sides. The further he went, the more bizarre the scenery became.

The red rocks on both sides present a strange spiral pattern, which should be formed by extrusion during the crustal movement.

Li Guo took pictures while walking, as if he was on Mars, "Ah Lun, except for the air, it really looks like Mars."

"Hehe, Li Guo, your metaphor is quite vivid."

As he walked, small pieces of sand and gravel fell down. Li Guo looked up and saw that the rocks were very weathered, and the rocks on the cliff above might fall down.

"Aaron, I'm a little worried up there."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

After walking for about 10 minutes, the temperature dropped sharply. It is estimated that the sun will not shine in for thousands of years, so the temperature is quite low.

"It's a little cold."

It was about 40 degrees outside, but it was only 10 degrees inside, and Li Guo started to get goosebumps.

"It's colder at night, the last time I remember it was freezing at night and I froze."

"Damn, it's fucking crazy."

About half an hour later, Allen suggested to take a break and eat something by the way. The two took out the sandwiches and drinks bought in the supermarket, sat on the ground and had a simple lunch.

"It's so quiet, it feels like I've come to another world," Li Guo said.

"That's why I fell in love with crazy adventures. It's so relaxing when I'm alone."

"By the way, were your parents going crazy when you quit your job at Intel?"

"Haha, almost."

This is also what Allen wrote in his book. In order to explore, he would rather quit his job as an Intel engineer that everyone envied.

"By the way, how did you fall in love with football?"

"It's a long story, but I can also tell you a little story, do you know the Champions League?"

"do not know."

"It's European games, which are usually held at 8:[-] p.m. in Europe. At that time, it happened to be early in the morning in China. I often wake up in the early morning to watch the Champions League. It feels so refreshing to drink a glass of beer and watch my favorite game in the silence."

"I don't like football, but I can feel your passion for football from your words."

"Thank you."

"After eating, I'll take you there to see the place where I was trapped."

"Do you remember there?"

Allen laughed and took out his GPS, "People all over the world can find the coordinates there from the Internet, as long as they have a GPS."

"OK then."

The two of them packed up their things, took away the rubbish, and then set off to the destination. Li Guo was both looking forward to it and worried, thinking that this was also a kind of baptism for his life.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Li Guo and A Lun finally arrived at their destination, where the boulder was still hanging.

Li Guo walked in and took a look. The rock was about the size of an off-road vehicle. No wonder Alan tried everything he could, but the rock didn't move at all.

Li Guo touched the stone, "How did you get stuck in it?"

Allen pointed to the top, "I came in from another route last time, and then I came down from the top. That's it. I supported the cliffs on both sides and came down."

"But when I was holding on to the rock, it broke loose and I fell with him until I got stuck."

Although it has been more than 10 years, Li Guo still feels shuddering. In this hellish place, being stuck by a boulder, how desperate should a person's heart be.

"Humans are really great creatures," Li Guo said suddenly, and Allen smiled slightly, "Yes, the potential of human beings is too great. Before that, I didn't dare to imagine that I would do such a thing."

"Thank you, Alan, I feel that this means a lot to me, and I have learned a lot that I can't learn from reading your book."

"I can only say that we are very destined, I met you."

Allen looked at his watch, "Let's go back, it's almost time, otherwise we won't be able to reach the off-road vehicle before dark."

"it is good."

On the way back, the two met a group of Australians. They also knew about the Blue John Grand Canyon after reading Allen's book. The purpose of their visit this time was also to see the big rock.

"Haha, Alan, this place is almost becoming a tourist attraction because of you."

"I hope Utah can give me an award," Allen joked, and he also reminded Australians, "Go now, the sun won't come out before sunset, so be careful."

The Australian pointed to his backpack, "We brought a tent, this time we planned to spend the night in the Grand Canyon."

"That's good."

After parting, Li Guo asked, "Are you worried about them?"

"No, I took a glance just now. The equipment they bring is very professional, so there shouldn't be any problem. It's best not to come alone for a rookie in this kind of place."

"Like me?" Li Guo laughed at himself.

"Li Guo, do you have a bigger goal?"

"Like what?"

"Like climbing Mount Everest."

"Hahaha, I never thought about it, it's very dangerous."

"But it's also fun, Li Guo, are you interested in climbing Mount Everest together in the future?"

Li Guo shook his head, "It's not that I don't dare, but that I have my own Mount Everest in my heart."

"what?"

"World Cup Champion."

Allen still didn't understand, Li Guo smiled, "It's hard to explain clearly, you just need to bless me."

"Okay, then I wish you the best of luck to climb Mount Everest in your heart."
