Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Ji Shumiao, Ji Shulang, Qin Shuyu, Yinlang and Yinxiao separated from their elders in Kashgar. Young people's travel needs to be a little hardcore.

They headed westward to the Pamir Plateau, the westernmost tip of the country, passing through Tashkurgan County, Aoyitak Glacier Park, Red Canyon, Baisha Lake, Wakhan Corridor, Panlong Ancient Road...

After leaving the Pamir Plateau, they took public transportation to Golmud City, Qinghai Province. From here, they drove through the Kunlun Death Valley, passed Mangya and Ruoqiang, and after seeing the ruins of Loulan, they returned to Kashgar to reunite with their families.

Kunlun Mountain, the first sacred mountain in China and the ancestor of all mountains, is said to be the residence of gods. Various myths and legends made Ji Shumiao and the other two very excited.

If adventure is not shrouded in mystery, it is like milk tea without milk and without tea.

Death Valley sounds scary, but with hidden wolves and hidden owls there it is not dangerous at all. It’s just that the conditions along the way are harsh and there are few people.

The special forces unit that Yinlang and Yinxiao belong to had undergone three years of plateau training in the Kunlun Mountains. Almost all elite troops will undergo special training in plateau areas to deal with possible high-altitude combat situations.

Not to mention driving, they have walked and marched through Death Valley hundreds of times before.

On July 7, the day they set out from Golmud, Ji Shumiao and the other two were so excited that they wanted to scream every moment.

Yin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally checked all the equipment in the car. Ji Shumiao and the others didn't have any altitude sickness on the Pamir Plateau, but just in case, Yin Xiao still prepared three 10-liter high-capacity high-pressure oxygen cylinders for them.

Tents, sleeping bags, cold-proof clothing, mineral water, food, medicine, gasoline, flashlights, electric batons, compasses...

"There are also spare tires..." Hidden Owl frowned and asked Hidden Wolf, "Are four spare tires enough?"

The rocks in Death Valley are sharp, so changing tires along the way is almost inevitable.

Hidden Wolf scratched his forehead and said, "Bring two more."

If the car breaks down, they can walk out, but the other three can't.

Xiaoyu's luggage was more than that of the four of them combined. It was all C-suits and props. Some of the props could not be taken on the plane and had to be mailed from Beijing.

A fully armed off-road vehicle carrying sufficient supplies and equipment, carrying five excited young people, drove to the sacred mountain.

The first stop was Wuji Longfeng Palace, the highest Taoist temple in China, and then we officially entered the Death Valley.

Ji Shumiao: "Wow——"

Qin Shuyu: “Wow~~”

Ji Shulang: "Wow..."

The three of them looked like illiterate people who had not received nine years of compulsory education. They could only say "wow", but the intonation of their words varied.

In fact, there are no words that can accurately describe what I see.

The thousand-foot-high cliffs were right before their eyes, and the smell of rotting wild animal carcasses wrapped in yellow sand and dry grass filled the wasteland. When they stopped to rest, they even saw rock paintings on the stone walls that were more than 3,000 years old.

Xiaoyu pointed at the black pyramid-like mountain not far away and exclaimed, "It's the time-space gate in the novel!"

Ji Shumiao: "Wow~Wow~"

Ji Shulang: “Wow!”

Before dark, they arrived at the legendary Yaochi.

At an altitude of 4300 meters, the water in the pool is emerald green, and there are wild animals living around, including bison, antelopes, Tibetan foxes, and wild wolves...

Ji Shumiao was so excited that he howled and yelled. He got out of the car and ran to the edge of Yaochi. Just as he was about to take a deep breath and shout, Yin Xiao yelled back, "You want altitude sickness?"

"Oh." Ji Shumiao shrank his neck. He was so excited that he forgot that he couldn't shout on the plateau.

Ji Shumiao could only put his hands to his mouth and whispered: "Is the God of Wealth here? Can you hear me? Bless me to be rich, the money I make will be of great use."

Ji Shulang complained: "...You really haven't forgotten your original intention."

Ji Shumiao: "You can try it too. Make a wish in a place closer to the gods. Maybe it will come true."

Ji Shulang chuckled disdainfully: "You received a socialist education, were born under the red flag, and grew up in the spring breeze, but you still believe in these unfounded gods and ghosts. Your ideological awareness is simply a disgrace to our old Ji family."

"Yo yo yo, you have a high level of awareness. Our brother Juewu has visited every hall when he was in Wuji Dragon and Phoenix Palace. In just half a day, his awareness has grown into a towering tree~lululu~" Ji Shumiao made a sarcastic face and mocked.

Yinlang and Yinxiao were looking for a suitable place to pitch the tent. Xiaoyu was busy putting on makeup in the car, but there was no space in the car and there was no place to put a mirror. She opened the window and waved to Ji Shumiao, asking her to come over to help.

As soon as Ji Shumiao left, Ji Shulang immediately made a sincere wish: "God of Heaven and Earth, May the Matchmaker be above..."

At night, Ji Shumiao sat in front of the tent wrapped in a cold blanket, staring up at the starry sky in a daze, his eyes gradually becoming straight.

Haha, the stars are so close, ah, why are the stars spinning in circles...

Turn around...

Yin Xiao saw that she was getting more and more stupid as she laughed, and realized that something was wrong. He asked helplessly, "Are you dizzy?"

Ji Shumiao felt it blankly for a moment: "It seems so."

Yin Xiao brought her an oxygen tank, and Ji Shumiao took it and thanked him: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao~"

Yin Xiao couldn't help laughing: "I used to be curious about who your sister took after for her silly look. I thought she was just young, but it turns out she is from the same bloodline."

Maybe it was because Ji Shumiao's appearance just now was too similar to Tongtong, which reminded Yinxiao of Tongtong.

Ji Shumiao stuck out his tongue: "After all, we are a family. Didn't we go to the Id Kah Mosque before? You don't even know what wish she made."

"What?" Yinxiao asked curiously.

Ji Shumiao suppressed his laughter and imitated Tongtong's tone: "Heaven and earth, please buy me an ice cream."

Both of them laughed out loud. Ji Shumiao had difficulty breathing halfway through his laughter, so he held the oxygen bottle tightly and breathed hard. Ji Shulang and Qin Shuyu, who were originally looking at the photos taken today, could not bear it anymore. They felt dizzy, chest tightness and nausea, so they took the oxygen bottles and breathed in oxygen to relieve their discomfort.

Yin Xiao was preparing dinner as if nothing had happened, and refused to help Ji Shumiao and the others.

"If you don't want to go back to the hospital now, just breathe your oxygen and don't cause any more trouble."

The three of them behaved themselves, sat in a row, and breathed oxygen.

Hidden Wolf came back from patrol and turned off the flashlight: "Okay, there are only a few of us here. You guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half."

The latter sentence was addressed to Yin Xiao, who was also polite and agreed immediately.

They also saw some tourists in the afternoon, but those people left Yaochi and returned to Golmud before dark, and only they stayed overnight.

If it weren't for the hidden wolves and hidden owls, they wouldn't have the courage to cross the Death Valley.

After filling their stomachs, Ji Shumiao and the other two were rushed to bed. They would not really enter the heart of Death Valley until tomorrow. There would be no asphalt roads to walk on, only undeveloped wasteland. If they did not get enough rest, the altitude sickness would only get worse.

Ji Shumiao's sleeping bag was placed between Langge and Xiaoyu, Langge's sleeping bag was on the other side of the tent, and Xiaoxiaojie leaned against the entrance of the tent, going out from time to time to check around to prevent any wild animals from approaching.

The night wind was howling on the plateau and the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance, but Ji Shumiao felt very safe and soon fell asleep.

The next day, they got up early and after a brief rest, set off towards the heart of Death Valley.

The off-road vehicle drove along the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain. On the side was a deep valley. The sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Sister Xiaoxiao, who was holding the steering wheel, explained: "Kunlun Mountain has a special magnetic field, and extreme weather often occurs."

Ji Shumiao heard himself respond to her: "Really?"

They were the only two awake in the car. Brother Lang was sleeping in the passenger seat, while Xiaoyu and Brother Lang were leaning against each other, sleeping soundly.

Quiet and a little strange.

Suddenly, the cry of a whale rang in my ears, ethereal, mysterious, yet dull and depressing.

For some unknown reason, Ji Shumiao turned his head and looked at the valley outside the car window...

A... a black whale was swimming slowly in the valley...

Is it a whale? Or is it a Kun?

The huge whale almost occupied the entire valley. It slowly turned over, and its tail, which was so big that it blocked out the sun, slapped Ji Shumiao...

Ji Shumiao sat up in horror, gasping for breath causing altitude sickness. There was a buzzing in his ears, and he felt dizzy and could hardly sit still.

Brother Lang quickly took the oxygen bottle and gave her oxygen. He patted her back to help her breathe. “Are you having a nightmare?”

"I dreamed that I was slapped to death by a whale's tail."

Ji Shumiao was also speechless about this dream.

Everyone else has woken up and is preparing breakfast or packing their luggage, while Xiaoyu is taking pictures of the morning glow of Yaochi with his SLR camera.

Xiaoyu's brows gradually furrowed, and he zoomed out the camera: "Over there... there seems to be someone."

Hearing this, Brother Wolf took the telescope and looked at the place he pointed...
