Chapter 235: Air Rescue 2 (II)
"What......" Dick was dumbfounded, he just vented his frustration with anger, how could he, a playboy, ever drink water by the milliliter? In the past, you could fill a pool of champagne for a swim whenever you wanted!
"Everyone can only drink one bottle of water at a time, we don't know how long we need to stay here, the water has to be controlled!" Sherpa said toughly.
Dick saw Sherpa's muscles, and thought that he had no chance of winning, so he had to acquiesce to the rules set by Sherpa.
After everyone drank a bottle of water, the Sherpa sorted out the formation and moved closer to Wang Xingguo, everyone climbed up hand and foot on the exposed volcanic rock, seeing that no one was paying attention, the Sherpa secretly said to Xia Ruobing: "The water given to you must be kept, in case ...... You know......"
"There won't be any case." Xia Ruobing comforted Sherpa Dao.
"Ruobing, if you really can't do it, you have to find a way to get out, this is also what Wang Xingguo told me." Sherpa hesitated for a moment and said.
Xia Ruobing's heart warmed, she knew that Wang Xingguo secretly asked Sherpa to give her a bottle of water, and the usual survival materials were kept separately, but when it came to the survival stage, it was to be kept and distributed centrally, this bottle of water was not important in ordinary times, but now, this water is the key to survival.
"The visibility is not very high, and now the mountain line is still relatively intact as far as the eye can see." Wang Xingguo saw everyone climbing up and said.
The height had increased, and it felt as if it was not so hot, and Dick had eased up a little, and he tried to take a breath, but the sulfurous air rushed into his throat, causing him to cough violently.
In this place, even breathing has become a luxury exercise!
Sherpa took a few breaths, took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket and called: "Striker calls base, striker calls base......"
There was still no response from the walkie-talkie, so Sherpa shook her head and put the walkie-talkie back in her pocket.
Sherpa is now in charge of protecting all survival materials, and the walkie-talkie is the only hope of communication with the outside world, and Sherpa will pull it out and call whenever he has free time.
"If you go a little further, you might be able to get in touch." Wang Xingguo said, asking everyone to get up and act quickly.
Acting at high places, without the torment of the scorching heat, this makes everyone's movement much faster, and the mountain line is as everyone wishes, and there is almost no damage in the movement of the earth's crust, except that the volcanic rocks on those mountains are twisted to the point that people have to constantly climb up and down to walk on them, but at least there is no magma here, and there is no need to go around the ravine, just follow it.
Despite this, the water is still consumed quickly, and Dick feels that he has endured it to the limit every time before asking for water, but just this bottle of water, when he drinks it, it seems to have spilled into the desert, and it disappears without a trace in an instant, and the sweat that comes out of every pore every minute is constantly overdrawing the water in the human body.
Robert Lee, who was waiting passively, suddenly heard a loud noise in the air, and looked in the direction of the sound, and vaguely saw a huge helicopter flying over the mountain beam, heading towards the other side of the ice lake.
Robert Lee rushed into Unimokri and turned on the full-range call: "Ground call helicopter, please identify yourself." ”
In fact, as early as an hour ago, Tchaikov had received a signal from Unimog on the helicopter to call Dick, and he asked Pandy to fly along the radio waves, since it was Dick's ground team, then they would not be too far away from Dick, and sure enough, when he flew for a while, he saw the traces of Dick's convoy on the ground, and couldn't help but admire Dick's boldness - he actually ran into the ice lake area, which is not Dick's style at all!
Tchaikov never responded to Unimog's signal, because he didn't think it was necessary, he wanted to find Dick now, and then kick Dick back to his hometown to die!
However, now that the ground has called him by name, Tchaikov is embarrassed to continue pretending, he picked up the microphone: "I'm Tchaikov, please identify yourself on the ground." ”
"I'm Robert Lee, the security captain of Dick's expedition, and Dick is now in the volcanic area and may need rescue."
"Since you're the security captain, shouldn't you stay by his side?" Tchaikov seized an opportunity to sarcastically mock him.
"They've been missing for almost 18 hours. If possible, please lend a hand. Although he was sarcastic, Robert Lee was still very restrained, and at this time he could not do anything but wait.
"I'm here for Dick, he really deserves to be swallowed by the volcano, and the world will be one less scourge!" Tchaikov thought of the various Brownian movements on the plane just now, and he couldn't get angry.
"I'll thank you first on behalf of Dick." Robert Lee said in the microphone.
"You're thinking about your money, right? I'll give you double, and when I come back, you bring him back to me!" Never come here again! Tchaikov said fiercely. The call ended, and no matter how much Robert Lee called, he would not answer.
"Tchaikov, how to fly now?" It was only then that Pan Dee remembered that it was not so easy to find a few people within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
It's Pandey's style to do it first and think later, and now that they've been in the air for hours, the amount of fuel dictates that they can't stay in the air for long, and it's time to think about how to find people.
"Damn, is Dick already dead?" Tchaikov never received any other radio signals.
"I'll contact the outpost!" Tchaikov remembered another idea, which was to have a few outposts in the vicinity.
However, the outpost said that they had tried to call Dick after receiving an intermittent distress signal for only a few seconds a few hours earlier, but had never received any more information, and according to the outpost's estimate, Dick was more than lucky.
"Then fly in a circle!" Pandey doesn't seem to care if he can find Dick, in fact, it's enough to get him to heaven.
"You have to look at the fuel gauge!" The co-pilot was fed up and decided to quit as soon as he got off the plane, protesting and banging on the fuel gauge on the dashboard, which was already approaching the midline.
"It's as bad as that altimeter, I never look at my watch when I fly, it's all based on experience!" Pandey said nonchalantly.
"That's why you have 9 crashes?" Tchaikov shouted.
"Calm down, Pandey is trustworthy, and so is this helicopter!" Pandey smirked.
"Tchaikov, it seems to have a signal......" flown some distance further, and a random person shouted, holding his headphones tightly to his ears, struggling to find the radio signal from the engine noise.
Tchaikov listened, quickly got back into the cabin, picked up the headphones.
"Call...... Call...... Someone...... Answer...... "Intermittently, Tchaikov heard a noisy and discontinuous call through the headset.
"Thank God! Dick, you'd better not die, or I'll kill you!" Hearing someone calling, at least it proves that someone is still alive, but this voice is not Dick, Tchaikov picked up the microphone: "Here are rescuers, please report your location......"
Wang Xingguo and others walked along the mountain line, in the scorching hot environment, Dick's physical fitness has reached the limit, the severe lack of water made him suffer from heat stroke, he even began to be a little unclear, where has the pampered Dick experienced such a test, and heat stroke needs a cool place to recover, but what is lacking here is such a place, Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai and others, even dragged Dick forward for another distance, Dick was completely unable to walk at this time, and the mountain line was also interrupted here, It's not that the mountain line has been completed, but it is cut through the middle by a huge crack, and 50 meters away, is the other end of the mountain line.
This crack was much larger than all the ones I had just seen, and it cut the mountain line from the middle, and then bent out, standing on the mountain line, with no end in sight on either side.
Dick couldn't move anymore, the water in the team was gone, and the magma in the cracks was churning, as if it was going to come up at any moment and swallow the mountains.
Sherpa had no choice but to pull out the walkie-talkie, hoping that it was at least closer to the base, and maybe the radio waves could penetrate the blockage of the ash.
But Sherpa called for 10 minutes and still didn't hear back.
The earth rumbled, and the well-rested earth was ready to strike a second time, and this time it would not let go of the strangers who trespassed in.
The magma that was close at hand was churning like boiling water, and the narrow mountain line was trembling and sinking, and it could fall into the lava at any time.
