Chapter 651 Humans have never been weak

After the plane landed at Moeber Airport in Utah, Ryan and his group changed into five off-road vehicles and followed Route 78 to a small town called Albens. The town has a population of only a few thousand and is famous throughout the United States for skiing and summer vacations. Their destination is Canyonland National Park, west of the town.

“Check drinking water, radio, satellite phones, spare oil barrels and all other equipment.”

At the gas station on the west side of the town, John loudly directed the bodyguard to do the final inspection, "All vehicles are full of fuel and ready to set off at any time."

Standing beside the off-road vehicle, Ryan set up a pergola and looked to the west. There was a huge wilderness scenery ahead. Under the winter sunlight, the snow marks distributed on the brown-red gravel ground reflected a charming halo, showing the unique scenery of the western United States.

"Are they not here yet?"

The door of the extended off-road vehicle was pushed open from inside, and Taylor jumped out, "How long will we have to wait."

"We've come early, and it's not time for the appointment yet."

Taking off his gloves, Ryan picked up the hat Taylor was carrying and put it on her head, "Dear, this is not Los Angeles, be careful to keep warm."

Although the weather here is not too cold, it is incomparable to Los Angeles, which is sunny all year round.

"Mr. Ruston is here soon."

The car door opened again, Natalie and Scarlett Johnson, holding their phones, got out of the car one after another, walked to Ryan, and looked to the east, "They probably have about five minutes to drive."

"What about my signature book."

Back at the car, Taylor found his backpack and walked back, hung it on Scarlett's shoulder, and took out the fountain pen and signature book from the bag in the helpless look of the little fat girl staring at her.

"Dear." Scarlett returned the backpack to her, and said with a lip, "You are about to release a record. Can you stop doing such a childish move?"

"Don't say you don't admire Alan Ruston."

Holding the bag and the book, Taylor took advantage of his height and looked down at Scarlett with a condescending look. "I really appreciate his courage and determination in adversity, his attitude towards difficulties and the nature of human nature in life."

"You two have been arguing on the way." Ryan frowned and looked at Taylor and Scarlett one after another. "Is there something going on?"

"It's not that she relies on her height, long legs, and strong strength..."

Before Scarlett finished speaking, he was interrupted by Taylor's stare, "Scarlett!"

"Nothing." Scarlett turned his head aside embarrassedly, only in a place where Ryan and Natalie could not see it. Her and Taylor's eyes were still having a silent confrontation.

A few minutes later, a black off-road vehicle went from far to near, and the person who came was Allen Ruston and his girlfriend, a former amateur mountaineering adventure enthusiast, have now become a professional player. Especially after Ryan bought the movie adaptation rights for Ryan, his fame instantly resounded throughout North America.

However, the other party's behavior of surviving in Blue John Canyon was indeed shocking.

In a country like North America where individual heroism is flooded, he can also deserve the title of hero.

It was Ryan who met Allen Ruston for the first time, but after Natalie decided to direct the movie, she flew to Utah to talk to the other party several times. It was also familiar.

"This is my girlfriend and agent Jessica."

After saying hello to everyone, Allen Ruston introduced his girlfriend around him to Ryan and his group. Both sides gave a simple greeting and got in the car and rushed to their destination.

Canyon National Park is located at the confluence of the Green River and Colorado Rivers in southeast Utah. It is a sandstone tower, canyon, etc. formed by many years of river erosion and wind, frost, rain and snow. It is one of the most famous erosion areas in the world. It is known for its dangerous peaks and rugged rocks.

Under the leadership of Allen Ruston, the car left Highway 78 not far from the town.

Strictly speaking, they have entered the scope of Canyon National Park, where there are no roads. The so-called roads are all trails that only four-wheel drive off-road vehicles can pass. They are recognized by the entire United States as one of the most difficult areas for humans to enter.

After more than forty miles of bumps, the convoy arrived near Horseshoe Canyon, a small tourist camping area.

Because of the weekend, Ryan got off the bus and found that several off-road vehicles had already parked here. About six or seven people gathered together and looked here with strange eyes.

“It’s all about travel and rock climbing enthusiasts.”

Allen Ruston walked over, greeted the people with a familiarity, and said after returning, "I was trapped at the time and was about 15 miles away from here. The car couldn't move forward any further. We could only walk or ride a mountain bike."

"It's better to walk."

Natalie, who was standing behind an off-road vehicle, looked over and said, "We don't have that good driving skills."

“This is the Natural Geological Museum”

Carrying a large mountain bag, Taylor walked out from behind an off-road vehicle and said loudly in an aria way, "It is an adventure range-rover for hikers to challenge themselves, and one of the parks that modern American civilization has few entry into."

"Are you ready?" She jumped onto a piece of weathered red sandstone, raised her arms, "Prepare to enjoy this journey."

Taylor, who was talking crazy, gave a thumbs up, Ryan walked to the side of the car and took his backpack and carried it on his shoulder.

For Taylor, this will be a rare and even the last journey of freedom. She is about to embark on a star path like Scarlett Johnson and others. In the future, countless paparazzi and flashes will be surrounded by her. The freedom of the past will become the past.

In fact, if you go around in a circle, the off-road vehicle can still drive deeper into the canyon, but Ryan and his group's purpose is not only to play, but more importantly, under the leadership of Allen Ruston, he walked along his original path and examined the possibility of on-site shooting.

Natalie and Scarlett each took a DVD and took photos most of the time while walking. Especially Natalie, she often called for a stop to ask Allen Ruston for a few words, and with the assistance of several bodyguards, she climbed to the highest point on the side of the road to take some landscape pictures.

The area here is vast and the weather is vast. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has ever visited. The Blue John Canyon, the destination where Ryan and the others went this time, is located on the edge of the west side of the park.

As the journey deepened, there were almost no other scenery except rocks, sand and weeds. The path under my feet gradually turned into a canyon, and the rock walls on both sides became higher and higher, and became more and more rugged.

Looking up from all sides, one scene at a time, this is the effect of the sunlight projected in.

The stone on the rock wall is not very hard, much like the kind that red soil will be extremely sticky when it encounters water. It contains the sand component. After years of rain, it has become a strange appearance.

"The sand in this area is loose, the road is difficult, and the canyon is deep and narrow." Allen Ruston is flexible and has agile steps. He is obviously a good athlete in outdoor sports. Although he broke an arm, he did not affect him at all. He pointed to Natalie and said, "The sandstone here may slide or move at any time. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit."

"It's hard to imagine how you survived five days and five nights."

Taylor grabbed Ryan, held his shoulder, took off his sneakers, poured out the small gravel that fell inside, "If it were my words, it would be that feeling of loneliness that would make me collapse."

"When people are facing a desperate situation." Allen Ruston first looked at the blue sky, then looked at his girlfriend who was not talking much, "Miss Swift..."

"Taylor, just call me Taylor."

"Okay, Taylor." He said with emotion, "There will be two paths of courage and despair at that time. Human beings have never been weak, and I have always believed in this."

"Allen." Ryan saw Natalie and Scarlett gasping slightly and reminded, "Find a place to rest for a while."

"There is a slope ahead." Allen Ruston walked forward first.

In front of you, you can vaguely see the rock wall on one side of the canyon, as if it was suddenly cut off, lying on the ground at a thirty-degree angle. Not only did you avoid the cold wind whistling through the canyon, but also the golden sunlight spread on it like a carpet.

After traveling south for a few minutes against the wind, Ryan and others arrived at this ideal resting place. The group took their backpacks and climbed up one after another, sat scattered on the slope, enjoying the warm sunshine.

“Is it cold?”

Taking off his gloves, Ryan rubbed his palms quickly. When he felt the heat, he blew the heat in his palms and covered Natalie's red face with the wind.

Feeling the coldness on her face, Ryan said with distress, "I've said it all, I'll just take a photo. You have to do it yourself."

"I need enough material to make it more sense to shoot by myself." Natalie leaned against him and said playfully, "You have invested so much money, if you messed up, I can't afford to pay."

"Wouldn't you just mortgage yourself to Ryan?"

Taylor's jokes came from beside her. She and Scarlett walked over with a few pieces of dark chocolate, handed over one piece, and sat opposite them, "Don't worry, Nat, there's only a total investment of 20 million US dollars."

Scarlett nodded and echoed, "Don't forget that some directors' first films invested more than $50 million or even more. Nat, this pressure is nothing."

"With your support." Natalie gently patted her chest, "I feel full of confidence in it."

"That... are you discussing the movie?"

Seeing Allen Aston coming, Ryan made a casual gesture to him, "Yes, we're discussing about funding."

"Can you ask a question?"
