Chapter 148: Thin Ice
"What's wrong?" In addition to Yunli, Wang Chengyuan is the calmest person, even in this atmosphere of unknown fear, he is still thinking about the problems on the route, thinking of countermeasures to let everyone get out of the predicament as soon as possible, worthy of being a person who has seen strong winds and waves, but Yunli suddenly stopped for some reason, he almost bumped into it before he noticed it in time, and after steading down, he hurriedly asked what the situation was.

"There was a thin ice area in front of us, and it didn't seem to be able to bear the weight of a person, and it was easy to break it up and fall into the icy water, so we had to find a way to cross it." Yunli explained.
"Thin ice? It's all cold and biting water down here, and it's no joke to fall, we can use tents to make air mattresses to cross, and there are just a few of them inflated, but this is different from crossing the river, and if no one pulls it on the other side, it's easy to get stuck in the middle.
Wang Chengyuan didn't delve into how Yunli judged the thin ice area, but in this situation, trusting his companion was the only choice, and he immediately came up with corresponding countermeasures, but it was not easy to implement.
Soon everyone arrived, knowing the current predicament, they used their flashlights to look at the area in front of them, and in some places they could see the flowing river through the ice, and the weakness can be imagined, if they stepped on it without realizing it, I am afraid that something would really happen.
Running all the way, they didn't have much energy to think, they were all bending over and panting, especially Qi Shi, his goggles broke a lens halfway through, and it looked very abrupt to look at the road while wearing it, so he simply took it off, but his deep myopia was a hidden danger in this low-light environment, and after falling a few times in a row, he still put on the broken goggles. Rarely had the opportunity to stop, he simply threw his bag on the ground, sat up on his ass, hunched over and gasped for air.
"Uncle Yuan, please go and put together the inflatable tent and make it into a shape that can carry people, and in terms of pulling, I will find someone to get it on the opposite side." Yun Li instructed Wang Chengyuan, and squatted down to open the rucksack and rummage through the useful things inside.
"Looking for someone, who is it?" Wang Chengyuan and the others asked in unison.
"It!" Yunli hugged the snow wolf dog beside him with his hand, and secretly used electromagnetic force to scratch him a few times, making it so comfortable that it wagged its tail.
Everyone didn't know what his plan was, but the time was pressing, and they didn't ask much, Wang Chengyuan immediately instructed everyone to take out the inflatable tents, all stacked together, and arranged them into a rectangle, intending to use a rope bundle to finish the matter, which was convenient and fast. And Yun Li turned out two safety ropes, tied to a small Xiaoice chisel, let the snow wolf dog hold the Xiaoice chisel, and slowly crawled towards the opposite side.
The snow wolf dog is very smart, and acts according to Yunli's request, and from time to time he turns back to see if Yunli has any other instructions, Yunli asks it to move forward as far as possible to the right, and finds a dumb person, and uses gestures to indicate it to avoid weak spots. None of them dared to speak loudly, not because they were nervous, but because the vibration of the sound could easily cause the ice to resonate and cause it to break, so it was safest to be quiet in this environment, and everyone understood this.
The snow wolf dog weighs much lighter than a human, plus Yun Li's command, it smoothly passed through the thin ice area nearly twenty meters long, Yun Li used a flashlight to shine a protruding rock opposite, and sent a message to the dumb man, asking him to gesture to instruct the snow wolf dog to go to the rock to turn around a few times, and then put the Xiaoice chisel down.
The snow wolf dog acted according to the plan, and when it was far away, Yun Li slowly pulled the safety rope, and after a while, the Xiaoice chisel buckled the lump on the rock, which was very firm.
Wang Chengyuan and they have already tied up the inflatable tent, Yun Li tied the two safety ropes to the two corners of the tent respectively, and Wang Chengyuan had another one, tied the other corner on the opposite side, and after trying it no problem, he handed the rope to Wang Chengyuan's hands, and he lay directly on the tent, pulled the other two ropes to drive the tent to slide forward, and quickly passed through the thin ice area along the route of the snow wolf dog just now, and everyone was worried and happy.
After the snow wolf dog saw Yun Li coming over smoothly, he was about to pounce on him, if it hadn't been for Yun Li and the blind man repeatedly signaling it not to bark, I'm afraid it would have been so happy that it would have gotten carried away.
After successfully passing through the thin ice area, Wang Chengyuan pulled the tent back, and the second one to set off was Cai Qi, who learned Yunli's action just now and lay on the tent, with Yunli pulling on the opposite side, and also reached the opposite side smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengyuan, Wang Dongcheng and the blind man all arrived at the opposite side one after another, and Lao Yang stayed behind the palace, so it was Qi Shi's turn next, because his weight was the largest among everyone, so when it was his turn, everyone held their breath, for fear that something would happen at the last moment.
Qi Shi's belly is not small, and he doesn't like to lie on his stomach, so he simply lies on his back in a big character, very chic, and when everyone pulls him, they obviously feel that the weight is different, so they slow down appropriately, and their movements are more cautious.
When he walked to the middle ground, the sudden sound of "pop" touched everyone's tense nerves, Yun Li immediately made a decision, and used all his strength to pull the rope, wanting to pull Qi Shi over before the ice broke apart, this was originally a feasible plan, but Qi Shi was startled by this sound, and unconsciously turned over to look down, it was because of this move that the tent lost its balance, and half of his body fell into the ice water, letting out a terrible scream.
"Boss Qi, grab the tent and don't let go, Lao Yang, tighten the rope and run to the left, quickly!" Seeing this, Yun Li didn't care about keeping quiet, and instructed the two of them loudly.
Lao Yang is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, as soon as he heard Yunli's shouting, he immediately started to execute, and Yunli pulled the rope on his side, and pulled it to the left with Lao Yang, the two of them were like swings, and scooped up the tent together with Qi Shi, but the nearby ice was already full of cracks, making a piercing "pop" sound, the two were very tacit, Lao Yang's hand holding the rope was loosened, Yun Li pulled it back, and finally pulled Qi Shi to a safe area in a burst of cracking sound.
Although Yunli's actions were very fast, and Qi Shi only soaked in the ice water for a short time, but in just such a short time, he walked out of the ghost gate, and his teeth were rattling from the cold, and his whole body was trembling.
Wang Chengyuan immediately brought him an oxygen bag, and the others took dry towels and clothes and equipment, and quickly dried and changed Qi Shi, in this environment, you must not act in wet clothes, otherwise it will not take long for you to become a humanoid popsicle.
At the same time as they changed Qi Shi's equipment, Yun Li also pulled Lao Yang over, and the ice layer in the area on the other side was thinner, but Lao Yang was already short, far less heavy than Qi Shi, so there was no accident.
Looking back, the place they had just come over had become an ice pool, and the broken ice cubes were floating on the water, jumping lightly under the drive of the current, which reminded Yunli of the ice soda he usually drank, but if he wanted to taste it in front of him, he would have to pay a lot of price.
Although there was an accident, all of them successfully crossed the thin ice area, but during the time of tossing, the ghost meteor had already come to a place less than a hundred meters away from them, Qi Shi's condition was not very good, but he still had the ability to move under the support of the dumb man, and everyone set off immediately after packing up their things and continued to move towards the west.
Their current situation can only be described by the word "walking on thin ice", walking on the glacier is also a last resort, if the ghost meteor is indeed a pre-avalanche omen as rumored, then the fastest way to get out of the snow peak is to walk along the glacier to the west, these difficulties are nothing compared to encountering an avalanche.
The glacier where they are located is very special, it flows from east to west, it is rare, the topography of our country is basically east-west, and the east is the most basic pattern, so most of the rivers are from west to east, flowing into the big rivers, and finally reaching the ocean.
The span of a river like this from east to west is certainly not too long, and the end point is mostly lake swamp area, in this snow-capped mountain, it is likely to lead to the glacial lake, as long as you reach the glacial lake and find a cave with your back to avoid it, you should be able to avoid most of the avalanches.
But what Yunli didn't expect was that this glacier actually had branches, and there was more than one, and the further back it went, the more branches it did, crisscrossing like a web. Fortunately, Yunli can still judge which is the main stream and which is the tributary, but in the back, he really didn't have time to stop and analyze slowly, and after a brief discussion with everyone, he decided to turn to the right whenever he encountered a branch.
Yunli's sense of direction has always been very good, but he is also confused on this labyrinthine glacial river, not to mention the others, but with Yunli taking the lead in front, they don't have to bother thinking about this problem, because just rushing to make them have no time to take care of themselves, and it is already good to be able to take care of themselves without falling behind.
Now they have encountered a fork in the road again, even Yunli doesn't know how many it is, this glacier's branch network is more complicated than the breeding ditch on Xiaolu Mountain on his manor, he wonders if there is an end to this, or that they have been walking in circles and have not found the right path, if this is the case, it will be in vain to go on like this, it will only be in vain.
Yun Li just wanted to inform everyone about the situation, but suddenly, there was a loud "boom" behind him, and then the ground began to shake violently, and everyone was so frightened that they quickly squatted down to avoid falling, and this situation lasted for about ten seconds before it subsided, and the surroundings returned to the previous dead and silent state.
"Is this an avalanche? Is the danger over? Cai Qi asked with mixed feelings, the visual range in the dark night was limited, and they couldn't see what was happening behind them, as long as they saw the ghost meteor that was approaching.
