1003. Chapter 1003 Avalanche Probability
Our group quickly rushed back to the hotel, and the rest of the people inside had already received orders in advance and prepared all the equipment for the trip. ใใใๅคงๅญธๅ novel็ฝๆๆบ็dashubaoใ
This time, I decided to take Li Xuefei with me, along with more than 20 people. Of course, at a distance of more than 1,000 meters or so from the No. 8 residence, it is necessary to let the entourage hide, and Li Xuefei and I will go to see him alone, so as to dispel the other party's doubts.
It's a bit unkind, and it's a bit of a suspicion of breaking the rules, but we're not doing bad things, so we have a clear conscience.
In order to take care of Li Xuefei and take care of the fast journey, the person in charge here also replaced the sled for travel and turned it into a snowmobile, and the equipment was suddenly upgraded to a higher level.
However, the number of snowmobiles is limited, only a dozen, and two people must ride one.
So Li Xuefei and I naturally matched each other, and I drove: "This road is not very smooth, if you don't want to fall and die, it's best to hold on!" โ
Although Li Xuefei was very reluctant, she could only do so, sitting obediently on the snowmobile, and refused to touch me at first, but as the road became rough, this chick hugged me and didn't let go.
Our group rushed to our destination, almost as fast as we could, and finally arrived at the residence of No. 8 after half an hour.
The rest of the people who accompanied me had already found a place to hide more than a thousand meters away as I had ordered.
Li Xuefei and I went to No. 8's residence alone, stopped in the open space in front of his house, and then couldn't wait to walk towards the house.
But let's regret that no one came out after calling for a long time, the door of the house was not locked, I pushed it open and looked inside, there was no one at all, and No. 8 didn't know where to run.
Next, I waited patiently for another eight hours, but the other party still did not come back.
"This old man is mysterious, and it seems that he is also a little guarded, so he has changed to another place to hide, and I am afraid that I will not see him today." I muttered, this time I came to the rush, but I couldn't see the other person, which made me very dissatisfied.
But there is no way, we can't wait for people, and the sky is gradually getting dark, and we can only return in a huff.
However, what I didn't expect was that when Li Xuefei and I left on a snowmobile, on the snow next to Room 8, a raised snowdrift suddenly shook for a while, and then a person appeared.
This man was number eight, and at this time he squinted slightly, looking at the direction where we were leaving, without any expression on his face, but his gaze was extremely sharp and looked dangerous.
I saw him grabbing his beard, as if he was talking to himself, and he couldn't hear what he was saying: "Sure enough, I didn't have a good heart, don't think I don't know, there are a lot of people behind you." โ
"Stinky boy, although your acting is very realistic, there are always some places where you don't act very well, and when you ask some key questions, you will be confused. It's not easy to hide from me, but this time you want to lie to me and treat me for an idiot? โ
"Hehe, since you can't wait to come to the door to die, then I'll fulfill you, dig a pit for you first, and bury you when the time comes."
The old man grinned, smiling softly, but the smile was chilling, like a devil's smile.
For the next two days, I searched for the old man number eight, and even blocked his door, trying to wait for him to come back, but unfortunately I couldn't wait for him.
This old man is elusive, and he doesn't know where he has changed, so when he hides like this, he can't be found at all.
Fortunately, on the third day, that is, when we arrived at the agreed time, when I took Li Xuefei to meet him, the old man finally appeared.
"Sir, I brought someone here this time, which is enough to prove my sincerity, can you take us over to Mr. Thomas?" I smiled faintly at him, but in my heart I scolded him for being bloody.
In the past few days, he has been back and forth, and he almost didn't break my leg, but this guy doesn't know how to hide in that corner!
The old man kept staring at Li Xuefei, then nodded, and said with relief: "Yes, yes, you are Li Yiyuan's current descendant, you do have some of his charm." โ
"You just wait, I'll take the sleigh out and take you there, and Mr. Thomas will be glad to meet the offspring of an old friend."
So saying, he returned to the house, moved the sled in the corner, and with a whistle, two large snowdogs ran out of the nearby snowdrifts.
The old man's interest was very high, and he was full of smiles all the way, it was difficult to remind people of his former identity, and he would actually be a ruthless man under Thomas!
However, the more he is like this, the more uneasy I feel in my heart, is a person's personality really so easy to change, will he restrain his murderous spirit because he is getting older?
If it weren't for the change in his personality, it would be even more terrifying, proving that this old guy is acting, and it has become even more terrifying!
"What are you afraid of, I still have Brother No. 20 with me, this old guy is single-handed, what are you afraid of him doing?" I comforted myself, and my heart settled down a little, and I followed behind Eight, and walked slowly with him.
The snowmobile, at its slowest speed, followed a sleigh and walked slowly for five or six kilometers.
No. 8 sat on the sleigh, looking leisurely and complacent, moving forward without hurry, occasionally humming a little tune on the way, and seemed to be in a good mood.
It's just that the road he took us on became more and more remote, even into the depths of the Alps.
This puzzled me, could it be that Thomas lived in it, and he was not a god, what should he do with the materials needed for daily life? And as we get deeper, the temperature here is even lower, and it's daytime, and the temperature range is bearable. But at night, if the sun loses its rays, the temperature here will definitely drop greatly, and it is still a matter of whether it can survive a bitterly cold night.
As I walked, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried out to the front, "Old gentleman, I would like to ask, how far is it from the place where Mr. Thomas is in seclusion?" โ
The old man, who was walking slowly, stopped when he heard my shout, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and comforted us: "In order not to be discovered, it is natural to live in seclusion in a more remote area, and if you are patient, you will arrive soon." โ
With that, the guy turned his head away again, humming his unknown ditty and moving on.
At this point, I also felt that something was wrong, and I didn't want to continue to follow him further, but after thinking about it, Eight was the only clue so far, and if I wanted to find Thomas, I had to follow him.
If we turn around and leave now, with that old guy's strange temperament, I guess he will never believe us again, and it is very likely that he will lose this only clue from now on.
I thought about it and didn't want to give up, so I gritted my teeth and decided to continue following him.
"Old fellow, I want to see what kind of medicine is being sold in your gourd!" I gritted my teeth and kept muttering in my heart.
After a long distance, the road ahead began to get steeper, and even on a powerful snowmobile, it was a little bumpy.
As I followed the old man on my way, I kept looking around and looking around me.
The area has become extremely inhospitable, with heavy snow falling and deviating from the areas where you can travel and explore, meaning that the terrain ahead is starting to be threatening.
At this moment, the satellite phone in my pocket rang, and when I took it out, I found that it was the sixth child who was following us.
"What's the matter?" I asked in a flat tone, so as not to let the eight in front of me notice the anomaly.
"I can't keep up any longer, now I have crossed the safe range of the tourist expedition, the area ahead is inaccessible, and some of the terrain is dangerous, beyond the safe and controllable range!" The sixth man spoke anxiously, and was panting as he spoke.
I didn't answer directly, but frowned, thought carefully for a while, and then asked, "What is the probability of danger?" โ
The sixth man pondered for a while, and a noisy voice came from the satellite phone, presumably asking the guide next to him for advice.
After waiting for a while, he replied, "The equipment we brought is good, and unless there is an avalanche, there will be no danger." And the probability of an avalanche is only about two percent likely......"
"Two percent?" I muttered, then after some careful consideration, I gritted my teeth and made a decision.
If you don't fight hard, how can you gain something, and if you give up just because of the possibility of two percent, you will definitely regret it afterwards!
Let's not talk about whether the old man has the ability to create an avalanche, even if he has the ability, he shouldn't be so stupid, otherwise he will be buried with him?
And there's no reason for him to deal with us like this, I've already revealed my identity!
"Keep going, if the situation is not right, it's not too late to retreat!" I took the satellite phone, made a decision, and ordered in an unquestioning tone.
Although the sixth child was a little dissatisfied with my decision, after all, I was the commander this time, and he didn't have much to say.
It's not because he's afraid of death, but Li Xuefei is also following the big army, and he doesn't want Li Xuefei to have an accident!
After hanging up the phone, I turned my head to look at Li Xuefei, and said with some regret: "I made this decision without authorization, there is a 2% chance that you will lose your life, you won't blame me, right?" โ
Li Xuefei glanced at me and said angrily: "Am I so afraid of death, only two percent of the avalanche probability, what is there to be afraid of?" โ
This chick said very heroically, and after finishing speaking, she shook her body, and her tone suddenly became low: "But the temperature here is too low, if I follow it, I will freeze to death, and if I don't see anyone in a short time, let's retreat first." โ
