Chapter 147: The Ice Pit

Zhu Forest is only fat, but not weak, his hands and feet are strong, he usually lives well, he is fat and strong, he can resist cold, he is typical of being afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, he wears a leather hat on his head, thick woolen gloves, and holds mountaineering tools in his hands, and he is very powerful when he climbs up.

Zhang Can saw that the person he was worried about was more reassuring than himself, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to climb up, Su Xue was still in front of him, the cold had the smallest impact on him, but physically, experienced, and psychologically, he was far inferior to others.

There is also Wang Qian, who is worse than Zhang Can, because Wang Qian's ability to avoid the cold is the worst, but Wang Qian has bodyguards and Zheng Dabao's subordinates to help and take care of him, so he has nothing, and besides, he is the head of the city, the highest core figure of this operation, of course he can't back down.

In this way, the speed of climbing up the steep snow slope step by step is extremely slow, and it is only when it is dark that you climb the snow cliff more than 100 meters high, and the snow cliff has a flat terrain about 30 meters wide, and then there is a steep terrain above.

Zheng Dabao did not instruct his subordinates to set up tents next to the cliff wall until the members of the four groups climbed up, and it was basic common sense to be next to the cliff, if the snow fell from above, such as an avalanche or something, it would be easiest to bury people, and the snow or ice that rolled down, according to the parabolic law, would not fall close to the cliff, and under normal circumstances, it would fall five or six meters away from the cliff.

A few people set up cooking utensils to make an alcohol fire to burn snow and melt water, and then put in the dried beef after the water boiled, there is no branch firewood here, so you can only use this, for the natural firewood can not be used to make a fire, you must control the materials you bring, otherwise you can't support the time to go down the mountain, if you can't make a fire to cook food on the snowy mountain, the dry beef is like a frozen stone, can knock your teeth out.

In the end, Zheng Dabao's subordinates added some mutton powder, and then the fragrance in the soup overflowed, but the taste of eating was still far less than the barbecue beef, and everyone was rationed, and after eating, they went back to the tent and got into the sleeping bag to sleep, seventeen people were divided into two batches, seven people on one side, and the rest took turns on night shift, and the night was to prevent accidents or beasts, but like this place, it is estimated that there are not many beasts that can come, like some animals can climb up, snow squirrels, birds, These are not dangerous to human beings, and the main prevention is actually avalanches.

Zhang Can deliberately wanted to avoid Su Xue and wanted to be with her everywhere, but Su Xue followed him closely, and still got into a tent, Zhang Can sighed, since she was still in the same tent, she still had to take care of her identity as a girl, so she buried her head to the very edge, and Su Xue naturally followed to the side, squeezed into the innermost, and then opened the sleeping bag.

After getting into the sleeping bag, everyone didn't speak, they all rushed to sleep, and doing such a thing requires a high degree of concentration, otherwise it is a joke with their own lives.

Zheng Dabao sat and smoked, his face wrinkled, he had no bottom to find the place his father had been before, and the road seemed to be getting more and more dangerous, and he didn't know what it would be like to go one day tomorrow.

Zhang Can pulled down his fur hat to cover his eyes, and then slept, but there were many things in his head, and he couldn't sleep, there was a leather sleeping bag under his body, and the tent outside the sleeping bag was also padded with leather plastic mats on the ground, so that the melted snow would not flow into the sleeping bag, since he couldn't sleep, Zhang Can released the energy in his body and probed the ground.

I don't know how thick the snow is underground, but under Zhang Can's energy detection, the thickness of this snow is immediately revealed, about a little more than a meter, and the snow at the bottom may have frozen hard because of a long time, so when people move on it, they will only let their feet sink into it more than a foot deep.

Falling into this depth is not too dangerous for people, but the speed of progress will definitely slow down.

In the past, Zhang Can's energy had never encountered snow, only in the sea water, in the bathtub, and finally in the storm and in the river below the mountain, the energy of the water beads on his body was brought into play, and now after the energy of the water beads encountered the snow, he could faintly detect the distance of more than ten meters away, and the image in his mind was not very clear.

Because snow is made of water condensation, Zhang Can's water-repellent energy still has an effect, but it is not as good as liquid water, and the detection of energy is greatly discounted, and it can only detect the distance of ten meters around the body.

Hearing Su Xue's breathing for a while and slow for a while, knowing that she was not asleep, she shrank her head, and tried to use the aura in her brain to run, it is better to practice more of her aura energy when she is free, this thing, now Zhang Can feels that he can't do without it, and he is using it all the time, as long as it is useless for a while, he will feel like he has lost something.

The aura has been practiced so far, and it is also extremely proficient, but no matter what, it is combined with the energy of the water-repellent beads scattered throughout the body in the body, Zhang Can sometimes thinks that if these two energies are fused together, with the huge energy of the water-repellent beads, I don't know what level it will reach!

However, although he was unable to fuse the two different energies together, he practiced a lot, and his aura was obviously much stronger than before, and the direct consequence was that Zhang Can felt that his ability was stronger, that he could last longer, and that he could use the energy of water beads well.

The energy of water beads is indeed more magical, Zhang Can does not feel cold at all, and it is completely different from the aura of perspective, but the aura of the perspective eye can cure diseases, this is another function that Zhang Can has discovered since he got the aura, which is very practical.

Su Xue's breathing gradually slowed down, it seemed that she was asleep, her body rolled in the sleeping bag, and she leaned closer to Zhang Can, obviously a little cold.

Zhang Can's heart moved, thinking that since the energy in his body to avoid water droplets can avoid the cold, if he tries to transport that energy to Su Xue's body, I wonder if he can help her drive away the cold?

Thinking of it, Zhang Can is still a little familiar with the energy of the water beads scattered everywhere in his body, and he transported it to Su Xue's body, Su Xue's sleeping body curled up in the sleeping bag, in such an environment, it is still very cold, but when Zhang Can's energy is transported to her body, Zhang Can obviously feels that his energy can make the blood in Su Xue's body flow normally, and the body temperature can also return to normal, it really works!

Su Xue's breathing was also slowly normal, and in her sleep, she straightened her body comfortably in the sleeping bag and moved, but she still relied on Zhang Can's body.

And Zhang Can himself fell asleep in a daze, the sky was just getting bright, the two people on duty at night had already cooked the beef soup, and then everyone got up, drank the soup first and then packed their luggage, and at eight o'clock after the sky was bright, they were ready to leave.

Or climbing, after advancing more than ten meters, the terrain suddenly sloped to be smoother, but the snow is deeper and thicker, Zheng Dabao and several of his subordinates have the best experience, holding a telescopic stick in front of the path, the stick is hard to move forward, if it is empty, you have to detour, otherwise it will fall, if you fall into a deep ice cave, it will be dangerous, and in some ice caves, those ice picks that have not melted for thousands of years, it is the same as an iron drill, erected in the cave, the human body falls into, as long as it falls on it, It must be the result of wearing the right one!

Zhang Can was still arranged in the last position, Su Xue was still in front of him, and there was only a meter or two between the two, it seemed that Su Xue was there to take care of him.

Seeing the way of the person in front, Zhang Can was thinking, it would be good if he was at the front, the water bead energy in his body could detect the thickness of more than ten meters of snow, and it would be easy to explore the way, but there was no reason, now it seems that he is so weak, how could Zheng Dabao's subordinates let him explore the road at the front?

The person at the front is actually the most dangerous, and the reason why Zheng Dabao put his subordinates at the front, the people at the beginning of the four groups, is to use their experience.

Each of the four groups was separated by a distance of about six or seven meters, like grasshoppers tied to four ropes on the slope.

The slope is long, the climb is difficult, and it seems to be windy again.

Zheng Dabao looked around with his hand on his forehead in front of him, his face couldn't help but change a little, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, the sky has changed, there is a snowstorm!" ”

Everyone looked up and looked around, and the space that had been seen far away seemed to be covered by a gray light fog at this time, and they couldn't see it at all, they could only see dozens of meters away, which seemed to be fog, but Zheng Dabao and others, who had good enough experience, understood that this was a sign of a blizzard.

In this area, where there is no place to hide, it is the most dangerous thing to encounter a big snowstorm.

Looking down, to return to the original place, a little unrealistic, Zheng Dabao gritted his teeth, waved his hand and said: "Go up, speed up, hurry up to the top and see if we can find a place to shelter from the snow, otherwise as soon as this big snowstorm arrives, we can only turn into frozen human flesh popsicles and be buried under this snow, and if you don't want to die, hurry up!" ”

Seeing that Zheng Dabao's tone suddenly became fierce, everyone knew that it was really dangerous, Zheng Dabao had always been relatively calm before, and rarely spoke in this tone, it seemed that he was really anxious.

Of course, Zheng Dabao understands that the blizzard on this snow-capped mountain is said to have come and is irresistible, and now he can only quickly find a place to shelter from the wind and snow, preferably some recessed cliff mouths, in some of the snow-capped mountains they have often visited, every place basically has a shelter left by their predecessors, such as cliffs or caves, and some are temporary shelters built with firewood, but now they must not have this place, because no one has ever been here.

Zheng Dabao's five subordinates had already accelerated their speed without his orders, and they knew very well that if they didn't find a place to take refuge before the blizzard, none of them would survive.

Zhang Can was fortunately not afraid of the cold, holding the safety rope in the snow, and at the same time moving forward step by step, and the snow fog seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and the wind was also urgent, blowing people a little unsteady.

Zheng Dabao was a little anxious, muttering and cursing, while walking forward in a hurry, but it was useless to be anxious, and the front was not heaven.

The person at the front of Zhang Can's group also sped up, but after the speed was faster, his heart was naturally not so thin, and he walked four or five meters away, and suddenly shouted "Ahh

Zheng Dabao immediately shouted at a distance of seven or eight meters: "Be careful, it's an ice pit!" ”

Fortunately, the place where he fell was at the highest place, and for the people in his group, he just pulled the rope tighter, unlike rolling down, if he rolled down, the danger layer would be much greater.

Behind him, a man who was also his companion, hurriedly climbed forward, crouched on the edge of the pit and cried, "Ah Bu, where are you?" Can you hear me? ”
