Chapter 124: Avalanche [Late Third Watch]
"What's your name?" Zheng Fei wanted to divert his attention.
He gasped and forced a smile: "Andre." ”
"Andrey, this seems to be a noble surname. ”
The surname Andre originally means honorable.
"Hey~ Yes, but our family declined as early as my grandfather's time, and the last piece of land was given to a bastard. ”
As he spoke, Zheng Fei bandaged his wound and motioned for the sailors to carry him to a rock and lean against him, leaving a few people to take care of him.
Then, he and Santiago Hans went to climb the snowy mountains to find out, and the snow shone in the moonlight, and there was no need for lighting tools.
Before leaving, he gestured to Andrei and smiled in appreciation.
This man, Andrei, will one day be of great help to his nautical epic.
Because, his surname is Andrei.
That Andrei the Great.
Hillside.
Walking on the white snow, it was as if the sky had just dawned, and with the help of the silver light, they could see the surroundings clearly.
The snow-capped mountain is thousands of meters high, and the highest peak on the island is the only one on the island.
Halfway up the mountain, they saw a cave, faintly emanating from it, and they could see a slight colorful light emanating from it.
Islands, caves in snow-capped mountains, and specific atmospheric geological conditions may generate rare gems that are worth exploring.
This island is so hot during the day, I didn't expect that at night, the temperature plummeted by more than 20 degrees, but fortunately, Zheng Fei was not too afraid of the cold, took a few breaths into his palm, patted Hans who was shivering, and motioned him to go in and have a look.
Hans grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and put it in his mouth to quench his thirst, then took a long sip of wine, warmed himself up, and got the courage to dive in.
After about two minutes, only his shouts were heard, which were slightly ethereal under the effect of the echoes of the cave.
"Captain, come in and have a look!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fei had just raised his feet when he felt the ground under his feet tremble.
The first reaction is that an avalanche, shouting loudly on a snowy mountain can easily trigger an avalanche.
The ground shook, and Hans seemed to notice it, and hurried back from the cave.
Something should be done at this time, but Zheng Fei's mind is now blank, and he doesn't know what to do at all.
Yes, he was a brave warrior and a captain with a lot of experience, but he had never been an expedition member, especially in the snowy mountains.
At this time, he was panicked and dazed.
The ground trembled farther and farther away, and a loud rolling sound of falling snow could be heard from the top of the mountain, much more surging than the waves.
He kept telling himself in his heart that he was calm, but he couldn't calm down, his legs seemed to be welded to the ground, and in the cold climate, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his back was wet with cold sweat.
Run? Where to run?
Neither advance nor retreat, in the face of natural disasters, human beings are so insignificant.
It was dark in front of him, and even if he was tortured in a Lisbon prison, he was not as frightened as he is now.
He had only felt this way once, when in the North African theater, when his squad was escorting an important person and was attacked by hostile forces.
The opponent is not a black civilian armed man in slippers and big pants and an AK-47 in his hand, but a trained mercenary sniper.
After the first teammate was hit and killed, they quickly found an obstacle to hide, and one guy had a slightly slower leg and his head blossomed.
He still remembers that when he cowered behind the rock, the sergeant major panted repeatedly, clutched the assault rifle in his arms, and said: "The opponent's strength is no worse than ours." ”
Everyone knew that the sergeant major had always been a powerful and arrogant guy, and the implication of this was that the opponent was much stronger than us.
He was a natural sniper, and he couldn't find out where he was when he fired two shots, and he didn't shoot when no one showed his head, and he couldn't lure him with his hat, and he was as cunning as an old fox.
The two sides confronted each other, but the mood was completely different, the sniper was a hunter who was not in a hurry, and everyone in the squad was a lamb to be slaughtered, and they would be shot if they moved a little, almost all of them were Zheng Fei's current expression, his spirit was highly nervous, and he gritted his teeth and stared at a loss.
Finally, after a whole day and a night, they couldn't hold on, and everyone except Zheng Fei rushed out like crazy, and was shot by the other party one after another, sleeping forever in the wasteland of North Africa.
As for how Zheng Fei got out later, it should be said that he was favored by God, and there was a thunderstorm, and lightning split the mountains and forests, which was the hiding place of snipers, which was a farce.
And now, he has suffered this feeling again, and if there is anything more terrible than death, it is waiting for death.
Suddenly, as if stunned, he shouted, "Hurry into the cave!"
Hiding in a cave, there may be a glimmer of life.
Hearing him shout, Hans stopped a few meters from the entrance of the cave, as for Santiago, because he had never experienced or heard of an avalanche, he did not know that death was coming, but he was very calm.
After shouting, out of the desire to survive, he rushed into the cave like crazy, and just when he was only one step away from the entrance of the cave, a large mass of snow fell without warning, and with a muffled thud, the entrance of the cave was blocked.
Hans inside was dumbfounded, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, he cried out in despair.
Zheng Fei's love is not much better than his, watching patches of snow slide down the mountain, but he can't do anything.
A shadow appeared beneath his feet, and a large patch of snow fell from above.
At the last moment, he felt that his shoulder was pushed violently, and the whole person threw himself out and slid seven or eight meters on the snow, and then he only heard a loud bang, and the snow fell on the original position, and was buried in an instant.
Then, countless pieces of snow smashed on the ground like dumplings, and after dozens of seconds, the avalanche stopped, and he survived without any damage.
The visual shock made him stare at his original position, and suddenly he thought, who pushed him just now?
That guy gave his life to save himself?
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly got up, didn't care about dusting off the snow on his body, rushed over and pulled in the snow with his bare hands, his fingers picking at the snow, he was frozen to the point that he didn't feel the slightest sense, and he couldn't even feel the sharp pain of bleeding his nails.
After leaving the Corps for so many years, he finally felt that he still had a very important friend in his life that was worth making with his heart.
"Santiago," he said, almost in despair, his voice hoarse.
