Chapter 115: Avalanche in the middle of the night
The next morning, Wu Yuankun came to Li Hao and asked them to prepare to leave, but they turned around and were about to leave but were stopped by Li Hao: "Mr. Wu, I hope you can cooperate well in the future, and don't play any tricks!" ”
Wu Yuankun turned around, didn't dare to look up, smiled awkwardly and nodded and said, "Mr. Li, don't be suspicious, I'm just prepared, I'll set off in another hour, we'll see you in the lobby downstairs."
After setting off on time, the two cars drove for nearly half a day and could not go forward, there was a hillside in front of them, the slope was more than 30 degrees, plus the snow, the car had no way to climb over, and the rest of the road was only on foot.
Chi Tianpeng got out of the car and looked at the direction, and said to Li Hao: "Young man, give me the map." ”
Li Hao took out the map from his arms and handed it to Chi Tianpeng, now that it has reached this point, there is no need to carry the map with him, plus he has four people and five guns here, oh, by the way, there is also a wolf dog wolf, if you don't count it in it, it will be controversial.
Chi Tianpeng took the map in his hand and looked at it carefully, and squared the compass squared on the snow, and then said to everyone: "Climb this small hill, there is a river in front, it must be frozen now, go to the other side of the river before dark tonight, and walk more than 20 miles It should be a mountain, there is a canyon in the middle, and you should go through the canyon to the place I found back then." ”
Chi Tianpeng returned to the place where he found wealth after 20 years, a little excited, and spoke a lot faster than usual, everyone got out of the car after listening to his words, packed their luggage and carried it on their backs, seven people and a dog marched towards the end of the hillside on the vast snow, leaving only a slender and long footprint on the snow, and the wind blew the snowflakes to cover up the traces they left behind after a while. It's like no one has ever been here.
The more you go to the top of the slope, the stronger the wind, and it becomes difficult to stand and walk after walking, and the snowflakes in front of you don't know if they fall from the sky or the north wind blows, anyway, the white expanse in front of you can't see clearly, and you can't see the figure clearly when you're a little far away from the front, and the thickness of the snow is more than one meter, and every time you get down, you will sink deep into it. From time to time, someone fell to the ground, and finally Qiangzi proposed to take out a rope to connect everyone together, so that Chi Tianpeng walked in the penultimate one, the person in front walked over and smoothed out the snow, and Chi Tianpeng in the back would save a lot of effort when walking, and there was a personal care in the back and the rope would not be lost.
The length of a hillside is less than three miles, and it took two hours to walk over, and after turning over the small hill, the road conditions became much better, and the wind was blocked by the small hillside and became smaller. At the very least, the line of sight became much longer, and the further down you went, the thinner the snow became, and when you reached the depth of the snow on the slope, it was only knee-deep, and it was completely dark when you got here.
Chi Tianpeng couldn't walk anymore, so he asked to stop and rest, and set off again tomorrow morning. Hearing Chi Tianpeng say this, all the people threw their luggage directly on the ground, and sat on the ground without wanting to move. Several people here, except for Chi Tianpeng and Zhou Yuanhang, are all practitioners. But after this journey, everyone was exhausted, and they longed to lie in bed and sleep.
After a night's rest, everyone set off early in the morning, in front of a flat snowfield, the light of the morning sun shines on the top of the snow peak in the distance like a layer of golden light, today's weather is good, the front is a smooth road, several people are traveling very fast, halfway through, Chi Tianpeng stopped, let Avanti shovel snow in situ. A few shovels came down to save the hard ice, and sure enough, a few people are now walking on the frozen river, and there is nothing wrong with that. Chi Tianpeng looked at the map again, identified the lower position and said: "The position at ten o'clock in front is the canyon, and we have to insert it diagonally." ”
Although I know that the ice is very thick now, we are still frightened when we walk on it, and the feet are faster, and soon out of the river, the terrain in front of us is gradually rising, and it is getting closer and closer to the snow peak, according to Chi Tianpeng's instructions, there is a canyon along this direction for more than ten miles, everyone rested and then set off, and did not arrive at the entrance of the canyon until it was dark.
The canyon in front can be described as a line of sky, the narrowest place on the ground can barely pass through, the wide place is only more than ten meters, zigzag forward, the light can not shine into it at all, nothing can be seen clearly in the dark, and the snow falls from time to time overhead, causing a rumbling sound.
It's impossible to go today, it seems that you can only wait until tomorrow morning to set off, and when you are resting, Qiangzi quietly came over and asked Li Hao: "Will Wu Yuankun do any tricks at night?" ”
Li Hao was also worried like this, and said: "I was very vigilant when I rested last night, and there was no movement, but now that we are getting closer and closer to the destination, our usefulness is getting lower and lower, Wu Yuankun is really good at playing any kind of moth, so be careful, so let's go to sleep with Daxi first, I will keep an eye in the first half of the night, and the two of you will be on duty in the second half of the night." ”
Qiangzi nodded, went over to explain to Luo Daxi, and found a place to set up camp, and the place where they finally camped was far away from the mountain peak, worried that there would be snow falling, and if it didn't cause an avalanche, they would bury all the people in it.
The temperature dropped very sharply at night, it is estimated that they are about minus 20 degrees, because the front is an open place, the wind blows without any obstruction, so the wind is very strong, all night is the wind whistling, in this wilderness look up at the starry sky, the wind is whistling in the ears, there are only a few lonely lights in the camp tent around, Li Hao actually remembered his parents.
Hey, Li Hao rubbed his eyes, when did there be a few more lights in the tent, and the small green lantern flashed in front of him, and it seemed that it was still swinging around. Li Hao violently hit a spirit, it's a wolf!
Li Hao quickly whispered a few people up, everyone heard that there was a wolf and quickly got up, Avanti got dressed while holding a firecracker, and shouted to everyone: "Don't worry, we have a lot of people, wolves will not attack easily, the wolves have almost become extinct in the past ten years, there are no big wolves, it doesn't matter." ”
Li Hao and Luo Daxi have experienced the attack of the wolves, and now when they hear Avanti say this, they are still a little uneasy, and Wu Yuankun is also not very relieved, so he took the fire gun and aimed at the two small lanterns in front of him, muttering in his mouth: "Even you guys came over to bully Lao Tzu?" Look how I teach you brutes! ”
After saying that, he was about to pull the trigger, and when Avanti saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot!" ”
It's a pity that he shouted a little late, as he shouted "Bang! With a loud bang, the fire bolt flashed a fire light in the night, and a loud sound sounded, and with this moment, the wolves who were scared by the wolf extermination team ran away and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Seeing that the wolves were so vulnerable, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Avanti looked very nervous, raised his head to look at the side of the mountain, Wu Yuankun looked at him proudly and said: "Why can't you fight, you are scared away by a shot, it's boring!" ”
"Brother Wu, it's not that you can't fight wolves, the snow just fell a few days ago, the snow surface is relaxed, and the sound of the fire gun can easily cause an avalanche!" Avanti said.
Hearing this, everyone realized the seriousness of the gunfire just now, and what Avanti was worried about was indeed verified, and there was a rumbling sound above the heads of the group, as if there were thousands of horses galloping, like the thunder caused by the fall of the waterfall from the heights, and the snowflakes began to fall down, and the ground also felt a little trembling.
Avanti and Qiangzi shouted at the same time: "It's not good, it's an avalanche, go quickly!" ”
Li Hao hurriedly shouted: "Qiangzi is carrying Chi Tianpeng on his back, and Daxi is running quickly to both sides with his weapon." After Li Hao finished shouting, the roar was already not far from them, pulling up Zhou Yuanhang, who was still in a daze, picked up a backpack with his other hand and ran, and saw that Qiangzi had already carried Chi Tianpeng on his back and was running, and the rest of the people were also running desperately.
Within a few tens of meters of running, the avalanche had already caught up behind him, and he felt that the snow under his feet was beginning to slide, and it was difficult to stand.
It didn't take long for the edge of the avalanche to catch up with them, and Li Hao's field of vision was left with Zhou Yuanhang, who he was pulling tightly, and the rest of the people didn't know where to run at all, whether they had been buried by the snow or not.
If it is on flat ground, the speed of the avalanche can't catch up with Li Hao at all, now he is not only carrying a backpack, but also dragging Zhou Yuanhang to run, plus the snow is soft and slippery, the speed of running has dropped to a quarter of the usual, and the snow behind them is getting closer and closer, and when it looks like it is about to be buried, Li Hao struggled to throw the backpack in his hand outward, and said to Zhou Yuanhang: "When the snow comes, you will learn to swim and slide to the left, do you know?" ”
Zhou Yuanhang heard this sentence but didn't understand why this was happening, just as he wanted to open his mouth, a huge force came from his back and knocked him to the ground, he couldn't stand up at all after losing his center of gravity, and was pushed forward by the snow that washed down, then he understood why Li Hao asked him to swim just now, and immediately started breaststroke with his legs and arms in the snow, and sure enough, the snow on his body became much thinner after a few moments, but the good times didn't last long, and Zhou Yuanhang, who didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, was buried by a snow wave. The overwhelming snow instantly hit his body, and the huge force made him faint all of a sudden, and Zhou Yuanhang followed the snow for an unknown amount of time before stopping.
The avalanche finally stopped, and after the rumbling sound disappeared, the earth returned to calm, and the snow in the dark night was as if nothing had happened just now, and it was terrifying, the power of nature was so terrifying, it just showed its sharp teeth and destroyed everything that was disrespectful to him, and buried the human beings raging in front of it.
Fifteen minutes after the avalanche is the best time to save yourself, and after ten minutes, the snow surface is still calm as usual, and there is no movement!
ps:
Avalanche is the biggest enemy of climbing the snow mountain, the best way to escape the avalanche is to do a swimming posture on both sides, the oxygen after being buried in the snow can support more than ten minutes, and self-rescue before the oxygen is exhausted is the most critical.
