Chapter 58: Survival
"Wait." Li Xu stopped Gesang's shouting and said, "Did you hear any sounds? β
"Nope." Zhao Dakang and the others also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen by themselves, but there was no other sound at all except for the whirring wind.
"Maybe I'm listening." Li Xu said a little embarrassed.
Zhao Dakang smiled slightly and didn't blame him, and beckoned the team members to start clanging ice again.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss." Just as Yu Fei was about to continue shouting, Qiuqiu in his arms unsteadily stuck out his tongue and licked his face, so Yu Fei could only pull him down first.
But after shouting a few times and no response, Yu Fei decided to walk back to the place where he fell yesterday, and if they saved themselves, they should have come down from that place.
"Be careful, hold on!" Zhao Dakang, who was the first to reach the bottom of the valley, shouted at the team members who were pulling the rope and going down.
The slope is shaky, but not vertical, and this level of climbing is not difficult for the climbers.
"Miss Leng, you don't want to go down, it's dangerous!" Gesang hurriedly stopped Leng Yufei, who was pulling the rope and climbing down.
"No, I must go down." Leng Yufei's eyes were sad and stubborn, and she wiped the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, "Even if he really becomes a cold corpse in the valley, I will see him as soon as possible!" β
"Miss Leng, we're here to save people, not to find corpses. If Yu Fei is injured and needs urgent treatment, you will lose time in this way. If Li Xu understands what Leng Yufei thinks, he can convince her in one sentence.
Leng Yufei slowly let go of the rope in his hand, and looked at Gesang and Li Xu helplessly and begging, "Please." β
She bowed deeply to the two of them, straightened up and burst into tears.
Gesang sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place.
In the end, Gesang reached the bottom of the valley at the least, and Li Xu stayed on Bingya to take care of Leng Yufei, and it was unimaginable that she could survive until now with her physical condition, in the words of the first-aid station doctor: She is simply dead.
Yu Fei began to return the same way. It's just that he was still alone when he came last night, but at this time he was followed by a snow wolf, and there was a little wolf cub in his arms.
Except for some messy traces at the bottom of the valley, Yu Fei's body was not found, which made several people breathe a sigh of relief. However, the situation is still not optimistic, after all, with the temperature of the Rongbu Glacier, even if Yu Fei did not fall to his death, he was very likely to freeze to death.
"Judging by the footprints, it should have gone that way." Zhao Dakang carefully observed the footprints left by Yu Fei and said.
"Xiao Li, you are waiting here with a walkie-talkie, contact us in time if there is anything, you two and Mr. Gesang, let's look in this direction together."
Zhao Dakang has a lot of experience in mountaineering, and he has also experienced search and rescue a few times, so he seems very calm.
"Okay, everything is up to Mr. Zhao." Gesang Zhilu said that although he is a Tibetan, his experience of living here is probably not as good as that of Zhao Dakang.
In order not to delay time, Zhao Dakang did not arrange a rest, and the four people except Xiao Li watched and followed Yu Fei's footprints and began to search, because the altitude was too high, and the speed of several people did not dare to be too fast.
Leng Yufei sat on the ice, his frozen red hands pinching the painting tightly.
"The scenery is beautiful, and the people are more beautiful."
"Is it cold?"
"Give me your hand."
"Falling Galaxy."
Yu Fei's words yesterday seemed to be still in his ears, but his people had already slipped like the Milky Way, and his whereabouts were unknown.
"Yu Fei, where are you?" Leng Yufei said silently in his heart: "If you are already dead, then I will ...... I ...... too."
"Yu Feiβ" Gesang couldn't help but shout again.
"Gesang, don't shout, I don't know how far there is in front of the road, save some physical strength. If he could have heard, he would have said yes. Zhao Dakang persuaded.
But before he could finish his words, there was a response in the valley ahead.
However, it was not Yu Fei's voice that responded, but a poignant "Woo-"
The snow wolf stood there with a proud expression, as if announcing in a shouting voice: This is my territory, you die far away, otherwise don't blame the buddy for being polite.
Yu Fei was angry and funny, and said, "I haven't done anything yet, you are in a hurry first, sample, go aside!" β
The snow wolf immediately lowered his head, clamped his tail and obediently ran behind Yu Fei.
"Not good! It's a wolf! Zhao Dakang's face immediately changed, although there are few animals on the glacier, there are still many fierce beasts, such as wolves, snow leopards and so on.
Several mountaineers took out weapons from their bodies, including knives and daggers, and Zhao Dakang was holding a tranquilizer gun.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, pay attention to safety, there may be wolves in the ice valley." Although the position of the wolf howl was on the other side, in order to prevent it, Zhao Dakang still reminded Xiao Li who stayed behind.
Gesang's face was also very ugly, if it was said that Yu Fei spent the night in the ice valley was very difficult, but there was still a glimmer of hope. But if there were wolves in the valley, then even that hope would be dashed! As a Tibetan, he knows very well that wolves will never let go of the creatures that enter the leader.
"Gesang ......" Zhao Dakang glanced at Gesang in embarrassment, and the appearance of the wolf made him hesitate to look for it. Although they all have weapons, wolves are social animals, not many, as long as there are six or seven wolves, then even if they have weapons, it will still become food in the belly of the wolves, and after a few days, it will become feces and be excreted.
Of course, Gesang understood what Zhao Dakang meant, although he still wanted to find it, but he couldn't ignore the safety of others.
"Captain Zhao, I understand." Gesang said gloomily, "I think Yu Fei will understand usβ" He didn't continue.
Zhao Dakang walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, when the rescue team comes up, come with more people, bring guns, even if there are more wolves, you won't be afraid, then come and save people." β
"Yes!" Gesang nodded, but he knew very well in his heart that the wolf dung that Yu Fei had turned into was cold at that time!
"Brother Gesang, is that you?" When the four of them were about to return, Yu Fei's voice came from the wind.
"Yu Fei?!" Gesang suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Fei who came out of the ice valley in disbelief!
The ice valley was not straight, and a rock wall protruding from the middle blocked the sight of both sides, and now that Yu Fei turned out, Gesang immediately saw him.
"It's a snow wolf!" Compared with Gesang's surprise, Zhao Dakang was highly nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the snow wolf beside Yu Fei.
"Roarβ" The snow wolf arched his body as well, his snow-white hair standing upside down, as if he was about to fly out at any moment.
"Mr. Yu, don't move! Beware of gunshot wounds. Yu Fei and the snow wolf were too close, and Zhao Dakang was worried that he would injure him by mistake, so he reminded him.
"Don't shoot!" Seeing this, Yu Fei hurriedly blocked in front of the snow wolf. Although the snow wolf is brave, it can't fight the gun.
"They're all friends! Friend! Yu Fei even said with a gesture, as if he was afraid that Zhao Dakang and they would not understand what he meant.
Zhao Dakang smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "Friend? I see what you mean, but what about it? Does it know what a friend is? I only know how to eat it. β
"Xiaoxue, hey, you're my friend, don't attack!" Yu Fei said to the snow wolf. Xiaoxue is the name he gave to the she-wolf.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Dakang thought that his spirit was a little abnormal. After all, what normal person would talk to a wolf like that?
But what surprised them even more was that the snow wolf seemed to really understand Yu Fei's words, and slowly straightened up, his hair softened, and although his eyes were still guarded, he was no longer tense.
"Captain, am I not mistaken? It's okay, how come I never knew that a wolf could understand people? A member of the mountaineer said.
Zhao Dakang said: Not only do you not know the way, but I also don't know the way!
"Yu Fei, is it really you? You're fine. Gesang didn't care about the snow wolf, and hurriedly ran to Yu Fei's side and looked Yu Fei's body up and down.
"It's nothing, it's really nothing. Brother Gesang, it was Xiaoxue who saved me last night. "Yu Fei is telling the truth, if there is no snow wolf to keep warm, I'm afraid he would have frozen to death.
Although the snow wolf did not attack Gesang, he also seemed to lack a good impression of him, and he didn't shake him with his face raised.
"This ...... This is a snow wolf, right? Gesang said in disbelief after taking a closer look at the snow wolf.
