Chapter 280: Survival in the Belly of the Mountain (02)
The feeling of finding a way forward in this dark cave is really not good, Heavy Punch describes it as an earthworm crawling underground, not knowing what is in front of them, and not knowing if they can get out, they are just looking for a way out in vain, although the temperature drops sharply, making them feel as if they are approaching the outside world, but even if it is a few meters apart, it is impossible for them to leave this place, the heavy rock wall, so they can't cross it, so they can only continue to change direction, holding on to the hope of life, In the end, they had completely given up looking at the time, because everyone knew that the time under it was not short, and the more they paid attention to the time, the easier it was to despair, so they continued to grope in it, and finally found a place where they could see ice and snow after nearly two days.
"This should be connected to the outside, but it is covered with ice and snow and frozen, the diameter of this hole is only more than one meter, judging from the thickness of this ice, at least two or three meters or more, this may be the closest we are to the outside, so we don't have a choice, let's have a blast here!" The ghost crouched there, carefully calculating the amount of medicine to take.
"You've figured it out, it's hard to find such a place, and if you collapse it again, I'll kill you." Lucas said in the back.
"Can you get out after killing me? Then there you go! The ghost shadow tapped on the ice and said without looking back, "I haven't tried to blast the ice surface in this situation, it is covered with a layer of ice, and I can't judge the thickness of the rock, so the dosage of this medicine is definitely not accurate, whether it will succeed or not, let it be fate!" ”
"At least it's an opportunity." Punch looked behind him, "Come by feeling!" The most important thing now is to use your past experience to make corresponding judgments, whether it is accurate or not no one knows, but I believe that your past experience will not kill us. ”
"Ouch, I'm under a lot of psychological pressure when you say this." The ghost said as he punched holes in the ice, "It's the first time I've done something on this kind of snow-melted ice, and then I will stick to the rocks tightly, the thickness is uneven, and it may cause collapse if there is too much medicine, and it won't work if it is less, so I'll do a trial blast first!" See if you're right? Then make adjustments, which are more conservative but also more secure. ”
"It's all up to you." The military doctor didn't say much else, in her opinion, in this situation, only the ghost has more experience, although everyone has experience in blasting, but in terms of professionalism, no one here seems to be comparable to the ghost.
Soon, the ghost shadow set up the explosion point, the explosion sound was not loud, at most a little louder than a firecracker, but the ice blocks around the explosion point were blown into a spider web, the ghost went up and knocked a few times with the butt of the gun, and the ice all fell down, he knocked and beat for a long time, revealing a hole that was still covered with ice and snow, but only one meter in diameter, which made everyone's hearts sink, even if the ghost can accurately carry out directional blasting, there is no guarantee that the hole here can let them get out, If there was a small impassable hole behind the ice, or just a rock wall, then their hopes would have been dashed again.
"We don't have a choice, let's go ahead!" Heavy Punch knew that this was the little hope they had only gotten after more than ten hours of searching, and they couldn't give up.
The ghost didn't speak, and continued to drugged his eyes, and the others could only watch him busy in the back with mixed feelings, who knew it very well? If this is a dead end, they can only continue to grope in this darkness, not knowing when they will find the exit.
After the second and third blasting, they finally determined that it was a crack in the rock, the same as the ones they had crossed before, but it was filled with ice and snow, and froze together, forming a frozen and solid hole, so this hole must be connected to the outside, otherwise it would be impossible for the ice and snow to get in, but it is difficult to say whether it can get out.
The ghost crouched there and took a closer look: "Will the flamethrower still work?" Roast and see! This position is prone to collapse when exploding, and if the situation improves a little deeper, we will continue to blow up. ”
The military doctor immediately called the man with the flamethrower, there was not much fuel left, but it was still possible to try, after a burst of spraying, the ice melted in a large area, revealing a hole about one meter inside, and the ghost took a closer look: "The space outside seems to be a little wider, and it is likely that this is the narrowest part of the entire crack." ”
"Ice and snow can seep in, which means it's not too far from the outside." Lucas said.
"Don't think it's that simple, what if it comes in through some gap above? As long as there is a finger-wide gap, which can be filled in little by little over the years, it can also be filled, and the temperature here can also rise to the point of melting the ice and snow at the turn of the east and summer. "The ghost isn't so rosy.
"We have to give ourselves hope, so don't think about it so much." Heavy punches also know that now is not the time to hit other people, positivity.
After a while the temperature inside decreased, the ghost ran in, there was still ice and snow blocking the way in front of him, but the space was indeed a lot bigger, he could squat in it, he didn't talk nonsense anymore, continued to punch holes in the ice and drugged, and did two more directional blasting, a large piece of broken ice fell, and still couldn't see the exit, he could only push these broken ice to the back, clear out a space, and continue to concoct the same way, and finally after the third blasting, he saw a glimmer of light, which was obviously the bright light shining through the ice, He couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and immediately continued to punch holes, but the C4 had run out, and he immediately climbed out to ask the others, but everyone looked at him, and he remembered that everyone had given him everything they could use, that is, the C4 on everyone's body was used by him.
"And grenades." Said as he rolled over his body with a heavy fist.
"That thing can't control the power directly with it, and after dismantling it, there is too little medicine in it, which is too wasteful." The ghost is a little at a loss,
"What is there to waste now? There's no need to hesitate, just blow it up, and look at the thickness that should be able to blow it up directly. The medic didn't want to wait any longer, "A grenade shouldn't have caused such a massive collapse." ”
"If you use bullets for directional blasting, it should be safer." The ghost said.
"Bomb with a bullet, when do you have to blow it up? Looking at the light transmittance, this thickness should be more than two meters, and it is a bit difficult to make a directional blast with a few bullets, and nothing can be blown up if you can't calculate it. ”
"Don't waste time, go ahead! Directly with a grenade. "Heavy Punch also feels that there is no other choice now.
There is no other way, they can only try it, the ghost made a hole in it, stuffed the grenade in, and then pulled the safety and quickly retreated, everyone hid on both sides to prevent being hit by shrapnel, with a muffled sound, the cave was filled with smoke and dust, the ghost climbed in again, and indeed blew down a lot of broken ice, but still did not blow up the outside, it seems that the thickness is much thicker than expected, he can only use the grenade to blast again, just when he blasted the second time, the whole mountain suddenly began to shake the mountain, It was as if there had been a violent earthquake, and everyone was staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Holy, what's going on? What did you blow up? This is going to collapse! Lucas asked loudly as he held on to the rock to his side.
"Damn, I guess the load-bearing balance here has been disrupted." The thorn dolphin was also frightened into a cold sweat, and stones kept falling from the top of his head, smashing on his helmet, clanging, but he had nowhere to hide, so he could only hold on there, resigned to fate.
"What should I do?" Lucas crouched straight there, holding his head.
"What else can I do? Wait for death! "Heavy punches, there is no way at all.
For a while, almost everyone panicked, but they didn't even have a place to hide, in this narrow gap, there were only two directions in front of them, there was no way to go in front, and it was too late to go back, so they could only resign themselves to fate here, the violent vibration lasted for ten minutes, everyone thought it was going to be over, and finally stopped slowly, and after a long time, they raised their heads in shock, still not knowing what was happening.
"What? Is it buried here? Lucas looked back and forth, and there didn't seem to be any change, except for some stones that had fallen from them, scattered everywhere, and fortunately they were wearing protective armor, otherwise they would not have been slightly injured even if they were not afraid to kill them.
"It's on, look ahead." Only then did everyone focus their attention on the front, only to find that the light that had penetrated through the place that had been blasted just now was not very clear, but it was absolutely certain that the light that had penetrated from outside, and the cold wind had also swept some snowflakes in......
"Nima ......" ghost shadow rushed out in a hurry, to the entrance of the cave to see, it was already night outside, the moon appeared and disappeared in a large thick cloud, just now penetrated, it was a trace of clear moonlight, they were located in the middle of the mountainside, there was a thick ice and a lot of snow outside, there was a lot of snow at the foot of the mountain, broken snow rolling, it turned out that there was an avalanche just now, hundreds of tons of snow gathered outside, the collapse and flipped and rushed to the bottom of the mountain, he then understood, It was the explosion that broke the fragile balance of the snow and caused an avalanche that made a noise, like an earthquake.
"I'll go, and I'll finally see the light of day again." Lucas also squeezed in from behind.
"If you can't go up to the world and don't touch the ground, this is a big snow slope, if you want to go down, you can simply slide down, but there are protruding rocks everywhere below, and if you don't pay attention to hitting it directly, even if you don't die, you have to lose half your life." Said those huge bumps on the snowy slopes of the ghost site.
"Well, damn it, if you can see the light of day again, why do you have so many scruples?" The medic looked up at the black clouds that were churning in the sky, "It's about to change, we need to go back quickly." ”
"Let's go down first." Heavy punches pushed them in the back, and although they couldn't see the situation outside, they already knew about it from their descriptions.
"Damn, how is this going on, a layer of snow on the ice? Straight down? That's a free fall. "The ghost is still a little worried, if he can't control it and crashes into those bumps, it will be a lot of fun, he doesn't want to lose half his life after seeing the light of day again.
"Don't scruple too much, look overhead." The military doctor pointed to it and said, "Tens of thousands of tons of snow are on it, if it collapses again, maybe this place will be covered again, don't you want to go out?" ”
Only then did the ghost notice the large amount of snow on the mountain peak above his head, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, knowing that now was really not the time to take care of these, he thought about it, pulled out his saber, stuck it the ice, and tried it, the effect was not very ideal, but this was the only thing that could be used to brake in their hands at present, so he no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and raised his legs and stepped out, sitting directly on the ice outside, the snow that had melted over the years, the frozen ice was several meters thick, and the brilliance was abnormal, so he just sat on it, In order to slow down the speed, he kept using his saber to stick into the ice around him, but basically it didn't have much effect, but after a few attempts, he found that he could use this method to control the direction to a limited extent, but as the speed became faster and faster, this method became more and more ineffective, and he almost hit those huge bulges several times, making it dangerous......
"Damn, I haven't skated in years." The heavy punch was very excited to watch, and he jumped out directly, sliding down quickly, he also used the same way as the ghost, but he used a more secure method, that is, he held the knife with both hands, and put the rope sleeve on the back of the knife on the wrist, so as not to lose the knife when he lost control, but his strength was a little too much, after a few brake failures, the whole person began to lose control, and made a few turns on the ice, and even slipped down his head and feet, and he used the knife several times to fix his body before he could barely turn around, but the speed did not decrease at all, After a small bulge moment, he couldn't avoid it, the whole person flew up more than three meters high, turned over, fell heavily on the ice, and continued to slide down, this time he almost fainted, and the whole person completely lost his ability to resist, and spun and fell on the ice like a free fall, flying up and falling again after hitting something......
"Damn, if you go on like this, you have to fall to your death." Later, after Thor saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but then he also understood that he also had no choice, instead of worrying about others, it was better to concentrate on learning the lessons of the following two people, try to maintain balance, and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past......
