Chapter 155: Obstructed Haitong Communication(1/2)
As usual, we have three things to do: eat and sleep.
When I ran to Mangkang, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway had already been running a little more than halfway.
After driving for three days, it was nonsense to say that you were not tired.
Driving on the Sichuan-Tibet Line and driving on the Qinghai-Tibet Line were two completely different experiences. When Lao Liu drove home from the Qinghai-Tibet Line by himself, he didn't feel so tired, but after running on the Sichuan-Tibet Line for three days, he really felt a little tired.
The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is only more than 1,100 kilometers, but what about the Sichuan-Tibet Highway? It has been almost 1,200, and it has only been more than half of it.
Although the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is higher at an altitude, it is very flat and there are almost no winding mountain roads. But what about the Sichuan-Tibet Line? If you don’t turn hundreds of times on the mountain a day, then the road is flat. If you catch up with someone with a vestibular nerve problem, you will probably have to vomit after an hour...
There are many winding highways and the road conditions are far less than those of the Qinghai-Tibet Line, so it is particularly tiring to run.
Not to mention Lao Liu, who is driving, even Chu Qian, who has been riding the bus, can't stand it anymore.
But Bai Shi, the heartless guy, is still jumping around. Whenever he goes to a place, he always wants to raise his hind legs and draw circles...
After dinner, the two of them walked around the county town for about forty minutes, they returned to the hotel to wash up. Then, as usual, Lao Liu found some information on the itinerary on the Internet about the itinerary that he was about to leave tomorrow, and turned off the lights and went to bed.
I slept beautifully for more than ten hours before I recovered.
I also set off after breakfast early in the morning. But after leaving Mangkang County, I crossed the Zongbala Mountain at an altitude of 4170, and when I first arrived at Wudao Fen, more than 20 kilometers away from the county town, an unusual situation occurred in front of me.
Dozens of cars were parked on the side of the road, and a large group of people were talking under the car. Some armed police soldiers were on duty on the side of the road, stopping one car after another.
Lao Liu's Road Cruise naturally did not escape the fate of being stopped.
He parked the car honestly on the side of the road. Lao Liu got out of the car and asked about the situation. Chu Qian was holding a pack of snacks in the car and was eating happily. Bai Lion stared at her mother eating with her eyes. The saliva at the corner of her mouth was almost flowing outside the car...
"Hey, buddy, why are you blocking this place?" Old Liu saw four or five young people of about the same age as him gathered not far away, so he walked over and asked.
One of the young men turned their heads and looked at Lao Liu, then looked at Lao Liu's car, and then asked, "Did you come from Sunac?"
"Well, I've been running for three days. Today I'm going to run to Yajiang in one breath."
The guy smiled, "Brother, today, don't say you're going to Yajiang, I'm afraid you can't even run to Batang. I just heard someone say that there was a place in Haitongdou in front of me and it collapsed. The road was destroyed. The armed police were stopping the car and not allowing it to go there."
Lao Liu's head became big when he heard this? "Damn it, it's true? It's mid-October? Why is it still a landslide here?"
Another guy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? I've been blocking here for more than half an hour. It seems that I have to wait."
When I was checking the information before going to bed last night, Lao Liu focused on checking the information about Haitongcom.
This section of about 40 kilometers long from Zongbala Mountain to Zhubalong Jinshajiang Bridge is also a dangerous area on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. After Tongmai Tianjian became a thoroughfare because of the construction of five tunnels and two bridges, Haitongdou quietly took over the previous position of Tongmai Tianjian and became the most dangerous area on the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
Lao Liu took out a pack of Huazi, and divided it one by one. Two people didn't smoke, but the other two guys who just talked took the cigarette, and Lao Liu successfully joined this small circle.
After chatting about a cigarette, Lao Liu realized that at about six o'clock this morning, it was almost seven o'clock. A slight earthquake occurred here. The magnitude is probably a little more than two magnitudes, and people can't feel it at all.
But people can't feel the earthquake, and the mountain can feel it. So landslides and landslides occurred in several places in Haitong Gate at the same time. Several places in the Sichuan-Tibet Highway that followed the Ganoderma River were destroyed.
"This is what the drivers of the big trucks who were stopped first? They said that the armed police soldiers at Haitong Bing Station had already gone in to save people. It is hard to say when the road will be opened. We don't know the specific situation inside yet? But it is probably quite serious." The young man who first talked to Lao Liu gave a relatively reliable statement.
Chu Qian got out of the car and walked over. The young men were attracted by the majestic white lion? But no one dared to step in front of him.
The white lion is now slightly larger than when I first met Lao Liu. Who knows how this guy is so long?
The size of the white lion was already very scary? He has grown up a little more in the past two months. It seems that he is even more strange.
"What's wrong with the front?" Chu Qian asked Lao Liu in a low voice.
Old Liu shook his head and said, "I guess he may not be able to get through today? There were several landslides in front of him, and it seemed to be quite serious."
"Landstorm? How could it collapse here? How could it collapse without heavy rain?"
"I heard that a slight earthquake occurred here at almost seven o'clock in the morning, causing landslides to collapse in some mountains. My wife, the section of the road in front of us is the famous Haitong Gate, which is the most famous flying stone area on the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway. It is also a landslide and landslide area, not much worse than the Tongmai natural danger we have walked through. When I checked the information last night before going to bed, I also knew that Haitong Gate had an nickname in the mouth of the Sichuan-Tibet Auto Soldiers."
"What a nickname?"
"A big landslide!"
Chu Qian didn't come and shivered. This nickname is indeed scary enough.
In fact, from the time I crossed the Jinsha River Bridge and entered the plateau from Bashu to Ranwuzhen, which I passed by before, this section of several hundred kilometers long is a place where landslides are prone to landslides. However, Haitongdou is the most powerful, and landslides occur more frequently, so this has created the reputation of Haitongdou.
There is no way, who can make the whole place benefit in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains?
The Hengduan Mountains formed by the squeeze of the Indian plate and the Asia-European plates are themselves geologically active areas and frequent earthquakes. Moreover, there is a lot of rainfall in the Hengduan Mountains in summer, and some sections of the road are sparse in the vegetation of the mountains on both sides, so once heavy rain falls, the mountains are prone to landslides.
Sometimes when the rain is heavy, the Ganoderma lucidum river on the side of the road will become irritable. The rising river water will directly destroy the roadbed, causing the roadbed to collapse.
If the earthquake is included, this section of the road will be even more amazing...
Although it is not comparable to Tongmai Tianjian, Haitong Commune is also a section of road that can change color.
"Then what should we do?" Chu Qian asked.
Old Liu shook his head, "Look at it first, let's talk about it. It's still unknown what the situation is. Wait a little bit, maybe it can get over."
But as soon as they finished speaking, they saw a Changfeng cheetah flashing with police lights driving out from inside, and two people in cycling suits walked out of the car...
The two of them knew that they were a man and a woman when they saw their body shape. When they got closer, they would find that they were in a mess. Not only were they stained with cycling suits, but they also seemed to be wearing a face, and they were fancy and fancy.
Obviously, these two must have had an extraordinary experience in it.
The cheetah that was obviously used by the armed police brothers. After putting down the two of them, they turned around and drove back into the Haitong Commune.
A group of drivers immediately surrounded him and asked the man and woman in a cycling suit.
When Lao Liu saw that there were too many people around him, he turned around and walked back to his car, took out two bottles of mineral water from the car and walked back.
"Hey, hey! Let these two drink some water first." Old Liu shouted loudly, and a group of white lions roared.
The dog's angry roar immediately scared away all the people around the two of them, and Lao Liu led the white lion in.
"Drink some water first and then slow down." Old Liu handed over two bottles of mineral water. The two of them looked at each other and took it, unscrewed the lid and drank all the water in one breath.
Bai Shi squatted beside Lao Liu honestly, but no one dared to get close to Lao Liu.
These two people look like they are in their twenties, thin and thin. The woman is not short, just like Chu Qian's.
"What's going on inside?" Old Liu asked.
The man first said thank you and said, "My girlfriend and I set off from Mangkang early this morning. After about fifteen kilometers of Haitong Bing Station, a landslide suddenly broke out. We were riding at that time. A Lexus had just passed by us. Not long after a basin-sized rock fell on the front cover of the car. The car was stopped, and then the rock fell from different sizes fell on the roof of the car.
When we saw that the situation was wrong, we were about to run back, but there were many stones falling on the way back. The car could not be ridden, so we threw the car back. Fortunately, there were not many rocks behind us, so we were lucky enough to run out and didn't get smashed, but the Lexus was in terrible. Even if the people inside were fine, they probably couldn't get the car."
The woman continued with a bitter face: "Xinggang, our cars have also been smashed..."
"Zhezhe, it's good that the person is fine. If the car is gone, just buy it again..."
"But our luggage..."
Old Liu winked at Chu Qian, and Chu Qian walked up to comfort the woman.
Lao Liu asked the young man: "When you came back, have you ever encountered a landslide?"
"Yes, but the scale is not big, it's just some fallen rocks. When my girlfriend and I walked back, we met the rescued armed police brother, who sent us back."
“Do you smoke?”
The young man nodded, "I usually draw less, but now I want to draw one..."
Lao Liu took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth and lit it. Anyone who encounters escaping from death needs a cigarette to calm his mood.
The people around him asked some questions again, but the young man obviously didn't know the specific situation inside, so everyone dispersed again.
Lao Liu returned to the car, took out two spare down jackets from the car and walked back, handed them one to the young man and the other to his girlfriend.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law." The two of them thanked repeatedly.
"Where are you two?"
"We are all from Yichang, we are college classmates, and we are all cycling enthusiasts. This is our fourth time in Tibet to ride. Oh, by the way, my name is Fu Ligang, and my girlfriend Liu Ye."
"My name is Liu Mo'ang. This is my girlfriend Chu Qian." Old Liu introduced himself, "You couple are amazing. This is the fourth time you have been riding in Tibet?"
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Since 2016, we were still in college, so we started riding in Tibet during the summer vacation. The first two times were in summer. After graduation the previous year, we rode in spring last year, and this time it was in autumn and winter. I didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing."
Seeing the two of them in a mess, Old Liu felt a little embarrassed.
"Do you two want to go to the military station to rest?"
The young couple looked up at the Haitong Military Station on the north side of the road. The young man shook his head and said, "Thank you, brother. We are not injured, so we won't go to the military station to trouble the armed police. They are busy rushing through the army."
To the north of the highway is the famous Haitong Military Station, which is also the largest military station and the location of the Wudao Ban in Haitong.
On the plateau, there is a road squad every seven or eight kilometers or ten kilometers along National Highway 318. For example, the Tongmai Tianjian section that Lao Liu passed before was the road between the 102nd and 105th.
After crossing the Jinsha River Bridge, you enter the plateau. One class is about seven or eight kilometers into the Haitong Gate. Then from east to west, there are two classes, three classes, and five classes here.
And there are still road classes to the west, and when you arrive at Tongmai Natural Resistance, it is the 102nd and 105th classes.
Liu Ye wrapped his down jacket and said in a disgust: "We just threw all our cars, luggage and other things inside, and we don't know how to go back."
Old Liu was also a little silent.
This is a natural disaster, and it can also be called an undesirable disaster.
I was riding well, but the disaster came from the sky and I was almost killed...
Chu Qian was soft-hearted and couldn't stand this, so she pulled Lao Liu and pulled Lao Liu aside and whispered: "Why don't you take them away when we leave? In this way, you can have a companion on the road and send them back to Yichang. Anyway, it's all the way."
Old Liu shrugged, "I don't care, just like you."
To be continued...
