Chapter 22: The Journey Through the Mountains

The weather in Kunlun Mountain is changing, and it is only half an hour before the sky begins to snow. www.biquge.info The bitter cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew the exposed faces of several people into pain.

When I looked up, my eyes were full of snow white, chaotic, and I couldn't see the end, and I couldn't tell which was the sky and which was the earth. Only the creaking sound of snow under their feet reminded everyone that they were still moving forward.

Hu Bayi, who was at the head of the team, looked back frequently to ensure that no one was left behind.

"Everyone keep up, don't be left behind, and report the situation as soon as possible."

Indeed, this bad weather, cold climate, and thin air are all severe tests for people's bodies, and after a while, the eldest Professor Chen began to panting, and Ye Yixin, who was weak, was also out of breath.

Chu Nan consciously supported Professor Chen, and Shirley Yang hugged Ye Yixin.

After walking for about twenty minutes, everyone found a leeward place to repair it, and Professor Chen's backpack also ran to Chu Nan's shoulder.

"Comrade Xiao Chu, it's really hard for you."

"I'm so hard." Chu Nan glanced at the big man and Gava, the burden of the whole team was carried on the two of them, but the two of them didn't cry bitterly from beginning to end, they really deserved to be real people's soldiers.

Chu Nan walked over and patted them on the shoulder, "The two of you have worked hard, I will ask you for credit when we go." ”

The young Gava was very sincere, "Report to the chief, it's not hard, we are much more tired than this when we patrol." ”

When the older man heard this, he quickly pulled him, this stupid boy, don't you want to give credit for nothing?

Chu Nan turned a blind eye to the small actions of these two people, and was just secretly refreshed by the title of "chief", but after thinking about it, he was just a small captain, or temporary, and it was indeed a bit out of control for Gawa to call herself like this.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say, this mission is very dangerous, and I will definitely give you credit when I go back."

"Chief Xie!"

Although the word chief sounds very cool at first glance, but after hearing it too much, Chu Nan feels very piercing, and it is estimated that if he continues to call it like this, he will be laughed at by others, so Chu Nan said to them, "I'm just a captain, where can I be the chief, you two can call me Captain Chu in the future." ”

"What kind of thing is this, our instructor has an explanation...."

"Comrade Gava, this is an order!"

Gava and the big man immediately stood up and saluted, "Yes, Captain Chu!" ”

was so troubled by the two of them, the whole team became active, and even Wang Fatzi joked, "There is a set, Captain Chu." ”

Chu Nan couldn't get used to his blind appearance, "Go and go, it's better to hurry up and rest if you have this joke." ”

After a break of about ten minutes, the group marched again.

And so it stopped, and another four hours passed.

"Big man, let's take a break."

Chu Nan gave an order, and everyone sat on the ground as if they had been amnesty, but fortunately, the wind and snow were no longer raging, and the sun also broke through the dark clouds and shone lazily on the earth.

But as soon as Professor Chen was settled, the old man asked impatiently: "Comrade Gawa, how far is it from the ice cave we are looking for?" ”

Gava also looked helpless, "Old professor, don't be embarrassed for me, two hours ago, this place was beyond the scope of our patrol, but the instructor said that the road we took was built in order to build a secret base, and the predecessors fought with their lives, and now they know this road..."

The veteran big man on one side knew the secrecy regulations well and quickly interrupted him, "Gava! What are you talking about, can you talk nonsense about this secret base? ”

"Don't worry, big man, they won't talk nonsense." Chu Nan hurriedly promised.

The others were not stupid, and they also chimed in, claiming that they would keep it a secret.

"In that case, you don't know where the ice cave is, or if it exists, do you?"

Gawa took off her windshield goggles and took a deep breath, "Don't say it's me, even the big man, a veteran, has never been to this place, we are all following Brother Hu." ”

"That's right..."

Let's talk about Lao Hu, since the team stopped, he stood aside alone, patrolling and looking around. In the end, Lao Hu's face changed abruptly, and he stopped in front of a large stone that stood tall.

"Old Hu, what's wrong with you?" Wang Fatzi asked.

But Lao Hu turned a deaf ear, but squatted down in front of the big stone, and Lao Hu's movements also attracted Shirley Yang and Chu Nan, and the two of them also looked over. At this time, Chu Nan clearly saw that Lao Hu took out a thumb-length, narrow badge with the words "Serve the People" from the crack on the side of the stone.

"This is the relic of your comrade-in-arms?" Wang Fatzi asked.

Hu Bayi nodded, and then grabbed the badge in the palm of his hand. This is where he first saw the fire ladybug, and where his teammates were burned to death.

In the end, Hu Bayi, whose eyes were red, put the badge into the pocket in his arms and sat down with the stone. Chu Nan shook his head, retracted his gaze, and left time for Lao Hu and his "comrades-in-arms" to be alone.

Twenty minutes later, Hu Bayi had already adjusted his state, and everyone set off again.

Half an hour later, he climbed a slope of more than 20 degrees.

"Look!"

Following the direction of Hu Bayi's finger, I saw a big crack in the knife and axe appearing in front of everyone's eyes - the destination was in front of them.

。。。。。

With a clang, everyone fixed the four climbing ropes, and then threw one end of the rope into the bottomless ice abyss.

"Professor Chen, in addition to Ye Yixin, if there are any team members who can't go down, such as their physical condition and psychological condition are not good enough, hurry up and say that it is also very necessary for them to stay on it to deal with us."

"I asked, everyone doesn't want to give up the opportunity to go on this expedition, such an opportunity is too rare, and it may be only this once in a lifetime."

Chu Nan nodded in understanding.

When he was leaving, Chu Nan emphasized again: "Everyone listen, no one knows the situation below, and it is very likely that you will encounter strange phenomena or creatures, or even corpses, so when you face an emergency, you must not panic, you must be calm and adaptable." ”

"Don't be too nervous...."

After brushing it, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Gawa, who had just spoken.

I saw Gawa patting her chest and flashing the automatic rifle in her hand again, "The big man and I are the sharpshooters in the company, and I promise to let you come back safely." ”

Looking at Gava with a confident face, Chu Nan wanted to tell him that the situation below was not optimistic, but seeing that the morale of the team was raised, Chu Nan couldn't hit them.

"Okay, let's hurry up and prepare."

In the end, Wang Fatzi, who has a fear of heights, was still cowardly, plus Ye Yixin, who was unwell, the two stayed in the temporary camp above to ensure smooth communication, and the rest of the people went down to the ice crevasses in turn in groups of four.
