"You search along the rope, and Tchaikov and I search the south." Chen Badai caught up with Wang Xingguo and said.

Wang Xingguo didn't speak, he took out the engagement ring hanging on his chest, kissed it, and said secretly in his heart: "Ruobing, hold on, I'm here to save you." ”

"Wang Xingguo, I don't want such a situation either." Chen Badai pulled Wang Xingguo and said, "Be careful"

Wang Xingguo glared at Chen Badai, picked up the ice axe, and slid down the ramp of the ice mountain......

There is no shelter on the ice hill, after Xia Ruobing cut the knot rope connected with Mr. Min, the forward of the avalanche rolled and rolled less than 100 meters away from her, Mr. Min had no intention of dodging at all, he opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace this avalanche, where could Xia Ruobing take care of so much, she could only turn around and run down the ice hill, so that there was a glimmer of life, but Xia Ruobing hadn't run a few steps before she felt a strong wind coming from behind, and she stood unsteadily and fell on the ice hill, When he hurriedly turned over, he saw that Mr. Min had been covered by the avalanche, Xia Ruobing sat on the ground and moved back desperately, but the avalanche had already pounced in front of him, Xia Ruobing closed his eyes in despair and instinctively covered his head with his hands......

Xia Ruobing was ready to meet the moment when the avalanche hit her head-on, but she suddenly felt her body sinking, she didn't react, she felt a burst of weightlessness, and the avalanche was a whistling avalanche overhead, the avalanche cracked the ice surface that was not too strong, Xia Ruobing fell into the ice crack, Xia Ruobing fell vertically for about ten meters, and fell heavily on a platform, and the backpack behind her buffered most of the impact, but this still made Xia Ruobing's eyes dark, and she almost fainted, and then she bounced up and rolled on the platform, continued to fall again, the desire to survive made Xia Ruobing try to grab everything on that platform, but the smooth platform couldn't hold on to it at all, and fell down for a while, Xia Ruobing felt that his body was hit hard several times, and then he stopped falling.

Overhead was a whistling avalanche, which blocked the sunlight on the ice crack after a while, and the rumbling thunder echoed in the ice crevice, Xia Ruobing felt as if she was in a big drum, the pain after falling, coupled with the dull sound and vibration, made Xia Ruobing feel that her internal organs had shifted their positions, but she didn't have time to take a breath, and the snow that fell from the ice crevice smashed down her head and face, Xia Ruobing endured the pain and got up, she didn't care much, she ran a few steps along the ice crevice, and a huge ice block smashed into her position just now, Then more snow fell down the cracks in the ice, and Xia Ruobing couldn't run, so she could only curl up in a ball with her head in her hands......

Finally, when the sound stopped, the surroundings were quiet, Xia Ruobing was covered in the ground by the thick snow, she moved, and found that she could still move, she tried her best to move in the snow, and finally climbed out of the snowdrift.

Xia Ruobing looked around, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, when he looked up, the sunlight shot into a ray of sunlight from the cracked ice, and under the reflection of the ice wall, a colorful light was cast into Xia Ruobing's eyes, Xia Ruobing turned on the headlamp on his helmet, and then found himself in a miserable white underground crystal palace.

"Mr. Min......" Xia Ruobing called tentatively, the snow above his head seemed to understand, and he fell a few pieces one after another, Xia Ruobing didn't dare to scream again, groped and took out the walkie-talkie, looked at the screen, and the signal on it showed that it was offline.

The snow and ice blocked the radio signals, and Xia Ruobing, with the help of the headlamp, carefully observed the underground crystal palace and tried to save herself.

According to his memory, Wang Xingguo followed the direction he had just come to find the rope that had been laid, but the force of the avalanche uprooted the pitons and ropes and pushed them into the bottomless abyss, leaving only a thick pile of snow on the ice hill, and the traces they walked just now were completely non-existent, so everyone had to form a horizontal team, deep and shallow in the snow inch by inch, trying to find the traces left by the two.

"Ice crevice!" Sherpa stomped into the air and sank into the base of his thigh, and when he pulled out his foot, a large pile of snow leaked under the ice hill.

"Watch out for the ice cracks under your feet!" Chen Badai warned that the ice crevasses hidden by the snow are potential killers, and no one knows what is going on under the snow and how deep the ice crevices are.

Under the ice hill is the cliff, Wang Xingguo prayed that Xia Ruobing fell into the ice crevice, so that there is still a glimmer of life, if it is pushed into the cliff by an avalanche, then no one can return to the sky.

……

Xia Ruobing explored along the ice crevice, this ice hill has existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and the cascading ice layer has carved a strange world in the ground, the ice in some places is crystal clear, and the ice in some places is milky white and a trace of light cannot be penetrated, and he struggled to dig on it with an ice axe and left only a shallow pit.

There are some places in the ice crevices that are rocks and rock crevices of the stone mountain, Xia Ruobing must carefully avoid these rock crevice traps, there are places where you seem to be safe, but stepping out is an abyss.

After turning several corners in the ice crevice, Xia Ruobing felt as if he was spinning, looking up, in addition to the thick ice layer above his head, it was an exit blocked by an avalanche, Xia Ruobing had to find an exit left by an avalanche, otherwise he would slowly freeze to death in this cold underground crystal palace.

Xia Ruobing was a little anxious, looking up to see if there was an exit, as if she had kicked something under her feet, looking down, her head was full of cold sweat, and there was a rock crack abyss less than 30 cm under her feet, just now she kicked a stone, and the stone fell into the abyss, and it took a while for Xia Ruobing to hear the sound of it falling to the ground.

Xia Ruobing calmed down, this area is the ice crevasse formed by the ice water that melts in the summer and flows down the rock wall, and there are bare black rocks in some places, those ice seem to coat them with a layer of crystal armor, she looked at the stone crevice in front of her, it is only about 2 meters wide, and the other end is an ice crevice that looks wider.

Maybe you can find a way out in front, even if you can get a little closer to the ground, the walkie-talkie may have a little signal, you can find a way to call for help, and you can only continue to explore at the moment.

Xia Ruobing jumped over the stone crevice and continued to move forward along the narrow passage next to it, and sure enough, the ice crevice became more and more wide, and there were some upside-down ice picks on the stone wall, flashing with colorful light under Xia Ruobing's headlamp, which was not inferior to the artificial landscaping of those tourist attractions.

But how could she be in the mood to enjoy such a view at this time, along the winding ice crevasse, here is the terrain that goes up step by step, if you are lucky, you can get close to the ground, maybe the avalanche just now will break the ice overhead, and it will be Xia Ruobing's passage to survive.

"Ahh Turning a corner, Xia Ruobing was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he screamed.

Under the aperture of the headlamp, there is a person! Anyone who suddenly sees a person here will be frightened.

The pupils dilated by fright clearly saw this lifelike person, Xia Ruobing's heart was beating wildly, and her hands and feet were stiff and she didn't dare to move her feet.

Xia Ruobing finally stopped his beating heart, and then took a good look at the person in front of him.

A person wearing an orange alpine jacket, a hood over his head, hands on his knees, squatting on the edge of the rock wall, the orange jacket and hood are covered with snow, this is a woman, her eyes are slightly closed, her long eyelashes are full of ice crystals, she is trying to curl up her body, there are still frozen gas stoves and gas canisters on the ground on the left, and some used supplies are scattered around, on the right is a red backpack, the ice and snow cover the open backpack, everything is frozen by the cold at the moment she dies.

Xia Ruobing strengthened her courage and took a few steps forward, this is a member of the alpine expedition, she is still very young, about the same age as herself, just like the sleeping beauty in this crystal palace, the expression on her face is very peaceful, and she can still feel her breathing slightly in a trance, Xia Ruobing saw a badge pinned to her collar, the badge was covered by a ball of snowflakes, vaguely revealing its original pattern, she suppressed the fear in her heart and stretched out her hand to her.

"Don't touch her!" A deep voice came from behind him, it was Mr. Min.

Xia Ruobing turned around in surprise, he saw Mr. Min standing behind her not far away, his eyes looking directly at this ice sculpture beauty, his face full of sadness.

"Mr. Min?" Xia Ruobing called softly.

Mr. Min did not answer, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.

Mr. Min stepped forward slowly, his steps were heavy but firm, Xia Ruobing gave way to the side, Mr. Min regarded Xia Ruobing as a transparent person, walked past her, walked in front of the ice sculpture, stretched out a trembling hand, slowly stroked her face, tears were in his eyes......

"I'm sorry I'm late...... I'm sorry...... I'm late......" Mr. Min repeated in a low voice, grief-stricken.

"Mr. Min...... You...... Know her? Xia Ruobing asked in a low voice for a long time.

Mr. Min wiped his tears and didn't answer, he carefully brushed off the snowflakes on the ice carved clothes, Xia Ruobing saw that the badge on her collar showed her true face, it was exactly the same as the badge on Mr. Min's collar!

Mr. Min reached out and took her hand in front of his knee, trying to warm her, but he could no longer make her smile with his warmth as he did 20 years ago.

"It's been 20 years, and you still haven't changed, and you still like to squat like a kitten and wait for me......" Mr. Min said in a low voice.

"Min ...... Mr. Min ...... "Xia Ruobing feels that there must be an unknown past between Mr. Min and this ice sculpture beauty.
