Chapter Thirty-Eight: Disaster Doesn't Go Alone!
I don't know what others think of Xing Jie, but when I saw the black faces of my uncle and Aziz like the bottom of a pot, I couldn't stop laughing.
It's really enough, my group fought to the death on the ark, and all the people they faced were the ultimate boss, not to mention the heavy casualties, and even a few friends were killed in the fire. If Xing Jie's side is the same, everyone can still balance it in their hearts. But the reality is like a sharp knife at all, stabbing a few more times in everyone's already scarred hearts, which is called a heart-rending pain!
As for Isabel, she was even more stupid, her last battle, the ambush hand Berta in Aziz's team, was actually cut in two by these rotting pythons in front of her?
THE SNOW AND ICE ARE FALLING RAPIDLY, AND THE SPEED HAS ACCELERATED FROM THE INITIAL 30 M/S TO 97 M/S IN HALF A MINUTE! YOU MUST KNOW THAT EVEN A 12-LEVEL HURRICANE IS ONLY 40 M/S! And the ark, which was as tall as a hill, was like a huge bomb, carried by this torrent of ice and snow, and smashed to the ground with an unstoppable momentum, and with a bang, the sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the snow and ice, tree fragments and a large amount of dust and gravel flew into the air, and it took a long time before it fell like a torrential rain!
The dense jungle in the entire valley was flattened in an instant by the strong shock wave, and such a strong shock made Xing Jie and the others, who were still far away, dizzy, dizzy, and their eyes and ears were all bleeding.
Although the movement caused by the landing of the ark was very large, it seemed a little inadequate in front of this super ice avalanche, and then the rushing torrent of ice and snow poured into the ocean, and with the unstoppable momentum of all things, the ark was once again deeply buried under the ice in the blink of an eye!
Xing Jie and the others, who were far away from the place where the ark fell, were now firmly grasping every protrusion on the ground with both hands, lying firmly on the ground, and close together tightly. With their eyes closed, the whistling sound of the torrent of ice and snow rushing through was deafening! In the face of this great force of nature, human beings are as small as ants.
Everyone was praying to the heavens, praying that they would survive this catastrophe, but the so-called priceless life of mankind was not worth mentioning at all! A huge rock that had been washed down smashed into the mountain was very slight, and the shock caused by it was very slight, compared to the movement caused by the ark. But it was this earthquake that made the two men of the Kangke clan and one of Isabel's subordinates swept away by the roaring and rushing torrent of ice and snow in an instant, and they completely disappeared into the ice and snow without even making a scream!
As the saying goes, life is like a year, but Xing Jie and his party currently feel that seconds are like years. We all know that although this ice avalanche is powerful, but the time is short, as long as you survive the most violent ice quicksand at the beginning, it will stop in about a few tens of seconds.
But these dozens of seconds made everyone think that a long time had passed. The ice and snow that had been covered by the ice avalanche fell one after another, causing the temperature of the valley, which was originally as warm as if it was in the subtropics, to drop below freezing in an instant.
It was only when the movement completely subsided that Xing Jie and the others opened their eyes, and what they saw was the terrain that had been completely changed. What valleys, what cliffs, they have all been flattened by this super ice avalanche in one fell swoop. As far as the eye can see, there is snow everywhere, and the river is flat.
……
"Dorje!Jiayang!" Pasang searched for his people with red eyes.
Xing Jie was also very sad, but no one could do anything about it. In this situation, no one can find them in the golden half hour, after all, it is the snow and ice that have covered the entire basin!
"Basan, don't be sad. Xing Jie walked over and put his arm around Basang's shoulders and said.
It's just that he didn't expect Basang to turn around suddenly, staring at Xing Jie with red eyes, and grabbed Xing Jie's collar with a pair of iron hands and roared there: "My people are all fucking dead, how can I not be sad? If it weren't for your insistence on digging that broken ark, how would they have died in this hellish place? I can't even find a corpse! How can I explain to their parents, wives and children when I go back? You say!"
Xing Jie looked at Basang's eyes, and he had nothing to say in his heart. I know that I don't blame myself for this incident, but Ba Sang is a little unconscious now, as his brother, what else can Xing Jie do?
However, the imaginary iron fist did not hit him, Xing Jie opened his eyes, but saw Basang's face full of grief, his eyes were full of tears, and the hands that grabbed his collar gradually let go. The tall and strong body, which has always been like a green pine, slowly bent down at this time, and knelt down in pain.
Pasang knelt on the ground and muttered in a low voice, "Dorje, Jiayang." Please forgive me, it's my Basang who doesn't have the ability to take you back. From today onwards, your parents and children will be taken care of by me, and I will treat them like my family!"
But after all, he was an elite-level fighter with a strong control over his emotions, and after a few moments, when Basang stood up again, his expression returned to normal. Hugging Xing Jie's shoulders and saying, "Brother, I couldn't control my emotions just now, don't take it to heart." When I go back, brother, I'll have a good drink with you!"
"You are stupid, you are all brothers, and you still say this, do you want to be beaten? Xing Jie said with a smile.
"!" Bassan held out a middle finger!
Turning around, Basang came to Isabel and said coldly: "Ma'am, you said you were going to hire me before, I don't know if it counts?"
Isabel was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Of course, we can sign the contract as soon as we arrive in Kathmandu! I can also pay you half a year's salary in advance, and you don't have to worry about other things, we will take care of everything for you." All you have to do is keep me safe, and nothing else!"
"Very good, deal!" said Bassan, who stood behind Isabel like a statue.
……
Seeing this, Xing Jie closed his eyes in pain. He now clearly knew that Basang did not hesitate to put heavy shackles on himself in order to take care of the families of the two Kangke hunters! But Xing Jie couldn't say anything, after all, this was an internal matter of the Kangke clan, and Basang was arrogant and would never accept Xing Jie's mercy.
As for why Isabel was chosen over Aziz, the reason is also very simple, because Isabel's offer is 500,000 US dollars per year!
But just because of these 500,000 American knives, Basan, this eagle who likes to soar in the Himalayas, forcibly locked an iron chain between his wings and became an eagle dog!
"Brother!"
"Basan!"
White Horse and Tashi were also in pain at this time, they couldn't bear to see their admired eldest brother and the best hunter in the clan become like this, for the whole tribe, Basang had given everything he had, and they could only watch but helpless.
Aziz and his brother-in-law also had no way to do this, and Xing Jie couldn't regret it. If I knew this, I wouldn't have made that phone call if I said anything.
The scene was horribly silent for a while.
At this time, the pungent smell of sulfur in the basin was getting heavier and heavier, and the pale yellow smoke that had only escaped slightly from the cracks had begun to become quite thick at this time.
"This seems to be about to erupt, so let's withdraw quickly. Hall reminded in a whisper.
"Well, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave. The uncle said.
The ice avalanche turned the valley into what it is now, which is convenient for Xing Jie and the others, otherwise, it must be extremely difficult for Baima to climb over the cliff with such a severe disability, and now he only needs to be carried on a stretcher.
Unlike what I originally imagined, I used to watch TV and thought that the last accumulation after an ice avalanche must be extremely loose, and it can sink to the root of the thigh when you step down. But when I really walked up, I found that except for the top layer of snow foam, the bottom one was actually quite strong.
As for what the principle is, Xing Jie can't think about it anymore, he just wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Of course, everyone has this idea, as for what kind of temple, the ark no longer thinks about it, and there is no need for that, not to mention anything else, the hundreds of meters of ice and snow covered by the ark alone is not so easy to clean up, not to mention that it will not be long before the magma of this volcano will bring disaster to this generation.
Of course, if the power of the state is used, these are not problems, but who will tell Nepal's Prime Minister Ollie between Aziz and Isabel is going to tell Prime Minister Oli of Nepal? This is a game between countries, and as for the outcome, it has nothing to do with Xing Jie. Only money is the most important thing, as long as Xing Jie's account does not have the 1.6 million US dollars promised by Isabel in his account within 24 hours of arriving in Kathmandu, then the mobile phone video will have to be resold to his family.
As for whether Isabel gritted her teeth with hatred there, and didn't care whether she would be struck by God's thunder or not, she was just like that, unconvinced? If it weren't for the complete destruction of the Bone Mountain, Xing Jie would not give up anything about the more than eight million euros.
As for Zhou Ziyu, he also raised the price of the bones to 1 million, unit: American knife. Love to buy or not to buy!
Xing Jie and Zhou Ziyu have completely abandoned such a thing as face, and in order to help Basang, they completely gave up the so-called dignity and are ready to run all the way down the road of self-blackening.
Volcanic ash like snowflakes had already begun to drift in the sky.
Xing Jie, who was standing under the Condor Rock, looked into the distance, and the volcano was finally about to erupt!
