At the southern end of the Tibetan area, there is an outpost where the eagle can not fly, it stands at an altitude of 4,620 meters, and it is surrounded by the peaks of the Duwu Mountains, and it is vast as far as the eye can see. This cloud-covered outpost, known as the "Snow Mountain Island", is the next target for Night Pine and Doumiao.

This post was one of the last two of their mission in Tibet, and according to the planned schedule they had established, it was achievable to complete the search of all the posts in the Tibetan area before the Spring Festival.

However, they seem to have been unlucky, as they left the radar station and arrived here during the blizzard season, when they were likely to be swallowed up by the snowy world if they climbed to the top.

"What! You're going to the Outpost in the Clouds now? The commander of the border defense company asked with a glaring eye.

"Yes, it's been more than two months since we entered the Tibetan area, and we've done many mountain climbs in the snow, so ......"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Before he could finish speaking, the company commander interrupted: "This place is different from other places, the outpost is surrounded by cliffs with an 85-degree slope, and the snow can even reach your knees. This is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and no one knows what it is when you step on it, and it is possible to fall into the abyss if it is not small. ”

"A little attention should be fine."

"No problem? If something goes wrong, it's too late! In the past few days, you can't see the road clearly in the wind and snow, and your departure now is tantamount to looking for death. You stay here for a few more days, and after a while the wind and snow become lighter, I will send someone to take you to the outpost. ”

Due to the company commander's best efforts to stop them, Ye Song and Dou Miao finally gave up their decision to climb the mountain against the snow.

Five days later, on a sunny afternoon, just as Yematsu and Doumiao were about to set off again, they were again stopped by the company commander.

"Located at the confluence of the warm and humid air currents of the northern Indian Ocean and the cold currents of the Himalayas, the outpost is a world-famous minefield, thundering at 3 p.m. punctually every day, and if you set off now, you are likely to be hit. Moreover, the rocks here have a high iron content, and the lightning strikes on the cliffs like a rolling fireball, and sometimes even produces ball lightning, which will explode when encountering people and things. ”

Dou Miao's face was full of incredulity, and said, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true. Before lightning protection facilities were installed around the roof of the outpost, generators and televisions were often damaged. In order to avoid lightning strikes, the soldiers at the outpost immediately sat down on wooden beds whenever they saw dark clouds coming. In the most dangerous case, a fist-sized hole was blown through the roof of the outpost. That day, Thunder floated around the room like a ball of blue light the size of a football, and everyone held their breath for fear of luring Thunder over. ”

"So exciting?" Dou Miao's eyes flickered.

"Stimulation?"

Ye Song kicked him in the ass and smiled dryly, "Ahem, hmm...... He was so shocked by the hard living conditions of his comrades that he was a little incoherent. ”

The next morning, seeing that the weather had cleared up slightly, the company commander asked again before Ye Song and Dou Miao set off.

"Don't you really need me to send someone to show you the way?"

"No, no, this is our task in the first place, why are we embarrassed to trouble you again?"

"Then I'll send you a car to the foot of the Outpost Mountain?"

"Thank you, company commander, but it's only more than ten kilometers away, let's just walk." After saying that, the two of them set off with their backpacks on their backs.

However, as soon as the two reached the foot of the mountain, a cold wind blew in front of them, and a large dark cloud pressed against the mountain in the sky.

"It looks like we're going to pick things up, and it's not going to be half an hour before another snowstorm is coming." Night Pine looked at the sky and said.

"The snow here is so thick and it's all uphill, so it's hard to accelerate." Doumiao breathed heavily.

Blizzards in Tibetan areas often fall quietly, and at first, these snowflakes the size of mung beans descend lightly from the sky like naughty elves, looking harmless to humans and animals. Because of this, Night Pine and Doumiao did not increase their speed after seeing the snow, and they even stopped halfway to rest while enjoying the snow in the Tibetan area.

Soon, however, these gentle elves took on a hideous face, and the snow fell more and more rapidly, and broke more and more, until the snowflakes were the size of grains of salt. When the wind hit, the heavens and the earth instantly became a cage of snow, and like a giant beast in the snow, it seemed to devour everything in this world.

Night Pine and Dou Miao are no longer in the mood to enjoy the snow, because they have become "snowmen" by this time. The mountain road was completely invisible at this time, and the oncoming gusts of wind carried ice crystals like knives, as if cutting the cells on their faces layer by layer.

At this time, Yesong was most grateful to the border veterans who gave him snow glasses, walking in the dense fog of wind and snow, without which they might not even be able to open their eyes. He felt that the decision not to let the border company commander send someone to lead the way for them was really too wise, and no one could guarantee his life in such an environment.

Ye Song took out a triangular scarf from his waist and wrapped it around his face, protecting his face as much as possible. He lowered his weight as low as possible, letting the rucksack press against his back, hunched over and slowly moving forward against the wind.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise in the distance, and he patted the bean Miao beside him and pointed in the direction of the sound. Dou Miao stared there for a long time, and then grabbed Ye Song's harness and pulled him to the side, clinging to the mountain.

A few seconds later, a broken steel pipe grazed their bodies and flew by, like a steel dragon in the snowstorm.

In such a cold environment, Ye Song felt that he was sweating profusely, and if he didn't dodge in time, the whole person might be passed through by it. After walking some distance, he finally realized that the thing that had almost killed them was the railing of the mountain road.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, so that the night pine and the bean sprout supported each other and had the illusion that they would be swept down the cliff. Walking against the snow, Yesong felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe, and even felt as if his lungs had stopped functioning. He lay on the ground and gasped for a long time, and when his body felt better, he kept a low position and crawled towards the outpost.

After a while, the wind and snow seemed to lighten, and they could even see the outpost in the distance. Just when they thought that the situation was getting better, a huge light suddenly flashed in the air, followed by a roar. This is probably the loudest thunder they have ever heard since they were young, and it is also the closest they have ever been to lightning.

Night Pine and Dou Miao didn't care about how thick the snow was at this time, and they took a desperate step and ran towards the outpost.

Boom –

A bolt of lightning struck a nearby cliff, looking at the bright firelight, Night Pine and Doumiao swallowed, and fell down in the snow again and slowly advanced towards the outpost.

Ye Song deeply understood what the thought of life and death was at this time, in such a dangerous area, he could still have many thoughts at this second, and the next second he might be killed by lightning and buried in the snowy mountain.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

Ten meters from the outpost, the gate suddenly opened, and several soldiers rushed out to set them up, and when they entered the house and closed the door, a lightning bolt struck the position where they had just crept......
