Dream Legend

Chapter 111: Adventure on Mount Everest

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the high-speed train rushed past like lightning.

The scenery outside the car window is like a scroll being flipped through quickly, with colors and scenes constantly changing.

Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and other members of the Shenquan team who were sitting in the car had already drifted back to the Five Great Mountains trip that had just ended.

The dim lights in the carriage flickered, as if echoing the unspeakable emotions in their hearts.

These people's faces revealed a kind of determination, but they could not hide the slightest bit of fatigue.

Just when they were about to close their eyes and let their minds rest for a while, the sudden vibration of a cell phone broke this rare tranquility.

The phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the car.

An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen, but when they saw the name on the caller ID, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong couldn't help but frown - it was a call from Ma Guoqiang!

This name is so unfamiliar to most people, but they are well aware of the meaning behind it.

As the director of the institute, Ma Guoqiang has almost no contact with the outside world.

He called personally, which gave both of them an ominous feeling.

After pressing the answer button, Ma Guoqiang's deep and urgent voice immediately came into his ears: "Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong, I order you to change your current itinerary immediately and set off for Mount Everest in Tibet!

Our team is already there, waiting for your arrival. Time is of the essence, there can be no delay! "

His tone was firm and unquestionable, as if conveying an irresistible power.

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong looked at each other and could read confusion and shock in each other's eyes.

The experience of working with Ma Guoqiang over the years tells them that there must be a major reason behind this request.

Although they were full of doubts, they knew that Ma Guoqiang would never give such an urgent order easily.

Mount Everest, the towering mountain at the top of the world, what secrets does it hide? Why is it calling them to go there at this moment?

Without much hesitation, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong quickly packed their luggage and set off for Tibet.

Along the way, Ma Guoqiang's words kept echoing in their minds, and their mood became heavier.

At the top of Mount Everest, an unknown challenge is waiting for them...

Without much explanation or words, the two looked at each other and knew in their hearts that this was a new mission, a mission that could change their destiny.

"Hello, it's Director Ma! What's going on? Is there a new task?" Wu Shandi pressed the hands-free button, and Ma Guoqiang's familiar and urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, an urgent mission, the location is Tibet, and the time is now." Ma Guoqiang's tone was unquestionable, and it seemed that even the oxygen in the air became tense.

Du Xiaoyong raised his eyebrows, half in surprise and half in curiosity: "Tibet? Mount Everest? Are we going mountain climbing or exploring?"

"No, it's something more important." Ma Guoqiang said mysteriously, as if he was hiding some big secret on the other end of the phone. "You will encounter unprecedented challenges."

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong looked at each other, feeling both helpless and excited.

They knew that every call from Director Ma meant that an unusual journey was about to begin.

The train shuttled through the edge of the city, and the two began to pack their luggage, preparing to get off quickly at the next stop.

Although the sudden mission disrupted their plans, as a member of the mysterious research institute, they are always full of expectations for unknown challenges.

As the train bumped along, their moods fluctuated as well.

Wu Shandi adjusted the hair around his ears, while Du Xiaoyong checked the equipment and luggage.

The two men's eyes were determined and full of adventure, ready to embrace the upcoming adventure on the plateau.

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong hurriedly ate something in a small restaurant near a remote train station, and then immediately took a taxi to the nearest airport.

On the way, they tried to get more information from Ma Guoqiang, but the director just told them mysteriously that everything would be revealed after they arrived in Lhasa.

The plane shuttled through the clouds, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the bustling city to winding mountains and vast plateaus.

The two tossed and turned in their small seats, their minds filled with various speculations about the upcoming mission.

Finally, the plane landed at Lhasa Gonggar Airport.

As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, a gust of cold air hit them in the face, and they couldn't help but shiver.

They quickly made their way through the bustling crowd and found the vehicle sent by Ma Guoqiang to pick them up.

Inside the car, the driver was a taciturn Tibetan boy who simply told them the next route.

The car bumped along the winding mountain road, and the two people's moods were as ups and downs as the road.

"What do you think the mission is this time?" Du Xiaoyong couldn't help but ask.

“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not simple.”

Wu Shandi looked at the endless mountains outside the window, his eyes flashing with excitement, "But no matter what it is, we will be ready to deal with it."

The car finally stopped in a seemingly ordinary town and the driver motioned for them to get off.

Wu Xiaoyong and Wu Shandi picked up their luggage and followed the driver into a building that looked quite secret.

There is an inconspicuous sign hanging on the door: "Mount Everest Research Institute".

They pushed open the door, and the scene before them made them instantly forget the fatigue of the long journey.

Scientists, historians and mystic experts from all over the world gathered here, and everyone's face was filled with concentration and enthusiasm.

Obviously, what they were about to participate in was much more than just a simple expedition.

Entering the institute, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong were taken into a spacious conference room.

The room is filled with various high-tech equipment, and the walls are covered with photos of maps and historical documents.

In this space where futuristic and ancient atmospheres are intertwined, their new teammates have been waiting for a long time.

The first thing that catches your eye is the super-eyed Hong Dahai, whose eyes reveal a kind of unyielding determination.

He was talking to a woman who was dressed fashionably and wore a pair of large-framed glasses. That woman was Pei Lili, the Underground King. Her temperament was both modern and independent, giving people a strong impression of personality.

In the corner, Hercules Guo Qing was concentrating on debugging his mechanical equipment. His fingers moved deftly on the keyboard, and various parts and tools were placed around him.

Sitting quietly at the side was Li Mingjing, his eyes sparkling with love and awe for ancient civilization, playing with a seemingly ancient artifact in his hand.

"Welcome to the Mount Everest Research Institute." A gentle voice interrupted Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong's observation.

They turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them with a smile. He was Dr. Li, the person in charge here. "We have been waiting for a long time."

Under the leadership of Dr. Li, the two new members quickly integrated into this diverse team.

Each has his or her own unique background and expertise, but they are closely connected by their common goals.

In the evening, when night fell, the institute's chef prepared a sumptuous Tibetan dinner for them.

Sitting around the dining table with flickering firelight, the team members exchanged stories and experiences with each other.

There was laughter and conversation, and a warm and united atmosphere filled the air.

In this warm atmosphere, Ma Guoqiang's phone rang again, interrupting the laughter.

His voice sounded more serious than before: "Are you ready? Tomorrow morning, you will embark on a journey to Mount Everest. Remember, you are shouldering not only personal glory, but also the future of mankind."

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the curtains and into the dormitory of the Mount Everest Research Institute.

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong quickly packed their equipment and gathered in the yard with other team members.

Today, they will officially begin their journey to Mount Everest.

As the convoy slowly started, the scenery along the way gradually changed from the bustle of the small town to the loneliness of the wilderness.

The convoy was bumping along the rugged mountain road, and everyone held on tightly to the handrails inside the car to avoid being thrown aside by the violent shaking.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and a snowstorm hit without warning.

The wind was howling and snowflakes were sweeping across the car windows like blades.

The driver struggled to control the steering wheel, but visibility was almost zero and the convoy had to stop and seek shelter.

"It seems we have to take shelter from the wind and snow here for a while." Wu Shandi said in his low voice while helping the team members take off their backpacks.

"The weather changes too quickly." Pei Lili frowned, her fashionable coat seemed a little thin at the moment.

Hercules Guo Qing was busy checking whether the equipment in his hand was safe, while Li Mingjing looked around nervously, worried that such weather would affect the expedition.

Just when everyone was anxious about the sudden snowstorm.

Ma Guoqiang called again: "Don't panic, stay calm. This is just the first test on the way to Mount Everest."

Under Wu Shandi's guidance, the team found a cave as a temporary shelter.

A bonfire was lit in the cave and everyone sat around it to keep warm.

Despite the harsh environment, the trust and cooperation among team members made this temporary camp full of warmth.

"We not only have to fight against the harshness of nature, but also find the legendary secret." Dr. Li's eyes flashed with determination in the light of the fire.

"But I believe that as long as we unite as one, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

As the night deepened, the wind and snow gradually subsided.

In this quiet place after the blizzard, team members snuggled up to each other, shared their stories, and waited for tomorrow's clear sky.

They knew that this was just a small challenge on the way to Mount Everest, and the real test was still waiting for them ahead.

As the snowstorm dissipated, a ray of morning light broke through the clouds and illuminated last night's shelter.

The team members packed up their equipment and set out again on the road to Mount Everest.

After yesterday's test, the tacit understanding between them became even deeper.

During the climb, everyone played to their strengths.

Hercules Guo Qing used his strong arms to help the team build a temporary tent;

Pei Lili used her unique underground escaping skills to plan the best route;

Du Xiaoyong can always provide necessary support at critical moments; and Wu Shandi uses the energy of the dragon and phoenix collar to continuously probe forward, looking for possible hidden routes.

Just as they were approaching their destination, an unusually flat area caught their attention.

The snow here is obviously different from that in the surrounding areas, and seems to be hiding some secret.

After some excavation and analysis, they were surprised to find an entrance leading to an ancient underground complex.

"Is this the legendary lost city?" Du Xiaoyong whispered excitedly.

"It seems we have really found it." Dr. Li held the trekking pole tightly in his hand, with a gleam of exploration in his eyes.

Wu Shandi walked in front, and the team carefully entered the underground building complex.

The walls inside are carved with exquisite murals and mysterious texts, which seem to tell the story of an ancient civilization.

As they go deeper, more puzzles unfold before them, and every step is full of unknowns and dangers.

After a series of puzzles and challenges, they finally came to a huge basement.

In this mysterious and unknown place, they accidentally caught a glimpse of an ancient mechanism that exuded traces of time.

The complex and intertwined lines, finely crafted parts and flickering light all show its importance and mystery.

A strong curiosity surged in everyone's hearts, as if an invisible force was pulling them to explore the mystery of this mechanism.

After close cooperation and tacit coordination, they finally found a way to solve the puzzle and successfully activated this mysterious mechanism.

In an instant, a dazzling light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire space was shrouded in a strange light.

As the light gradually dissipated, the scene before their eyes left everyone dumbfounded - it turned out that this long-abandoned lost city was once the core of a highly developed ancient civilization!

That seemingly ordinary mechanism is the key to controlling this tremendous power that can change the world!

At this moment, everyone deeply realized that the discoveries they made were not just personal glory and achievements;

More importantly, this earth-shaking discovery will become a shining pearl in the long river of human history.

It reveals to us the glorious past that has been forgotten by time, and brings us unprecedented enlightenment and change.

After careful consideration, they resolutely made an important decision - to report this shocking secret to the relevant state departments!

Because only in this way can we ensure that such powerful power will not fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, and will not be abused and misused.

When the secret was finally revealed to the world, the entire team showed an expression of relief on their faces, followed by smiles of relief and satisfaction.

It is an affirmation of one's correct decision and an expression of hope and confidence in the future.

At this moment, they are fully aware of the enormous responsibility they shoulder, but they also believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to protect this mysterious and powerful force and make it benefit the people.

They knew that this expedition would be one of the most unforgettable experiences of their lives.

And behind them, the ancient lost city lies quietly in the embrace of Mount Everest, waiting for the arrival of the next brave person.

After successfully revealing the secrets deep within Mount Everest, Wu Shandi, Du Xiaoyong and other team members began the long and arduous journey back.

Their emotions were extremely complicated: on the one hand, they were grateful that they could return safely; on the other hand, they were shocked and proud of the ancient civilization they discovered.

After returning to the institute, their discovery attracted great attention at the national level.

The government sent a team of experts to the institute for detailed investigation and research.

Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong were interviewed by the media, and their story quickly spread across the country and even the world.

At a brief celebration party, Director Ma Guoqiang stood in front of everyone.

He said with a smile: "You have not only demonstrated outstanding courage and wisdom, but also brought valuable historical treasures to our country. I am proud of you."

As the applause roared, every team member's face was filled with joy and satisfaction.

They know that this experience will become the most precious memory of their lives.

A few weeks later, Wu Shandi and Du Xiaoyong were invited to attend a commendation conference hosted by the state.

At the conference, they were awarded medals of honor in recognition of their outstanding contributions and courage during the expedition.
