Chapter 149: Never Give Up
When Lin Xue passed out in a coma, Sneer Xiaotian was sitting in the cabin of a domestically made Z-9 armed helicopter, preparing to land on the big lawn in front of the Xionghu Mountain Management Committee.
This domestically produced Z-19 multipurpose helicopter belongs to the Army Aviation Brigade of the Southwest Military Region, and Commander Li Qingshan specially transferred it from the military region to Lengxi Village, Wushui County, to pick up Leng Xiaotian and go to Xionghu Mountain to rescue Lin Xue.
Yesterday at noon, after the old chief received a call from Lin Meng, he learned that Lin Xue had not been heard from for a day and a night, so he immediately sat down on the stool, with tears on his face, and kept muttering to himself: "Xiaoxue, my good granddaughter, you have to hold on! Your father and mother have already come, you must persevere...... Grandpa knows you're a strong kid and you're going to be fine......"
In fact, the people in the house, including the old chief, knew very well in their hearts: Xionghu Mountain was full of wind and snow at the moment, dripping into ice, and where Lin Xue was, there was a big tiger. After a day and a night, even if she hadn't been eaten by a tiger, she would probably have frozen to death. The only hope now is that the rescue team organized by the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee can find Lin Xue as soon as possible......
However, an hour later, Lin Meng called again. He told the old chief on the phone in a desperate tone: The rescue team of several hundred people organized by North Sichuan City has gone down the mountain, and no other clues have been found except for Lin Xue's hiking bag. Moreover, the rescue team has carried out a carpet search within ten kilometers of the hillside where Lin Xue had an accident, and there is no trace left by Lin Xue except for the tracks of some tigers and wolves......
After receiving this desperate phone call, all the people in the room burst into tears. The old chief covered his face with his hands, trembling all over, grief-stricken as if his heart and liver had been removed, and he felt that his internal organs were empty......
Sneering Tian saw that the old chief was too hurt, so he wiped the tears on his face, walked over to support the old chief's shoulder, and comforted him: "Old chief, don't be so sad! It's not the last moment yet, we can't mess up by ourselves! Xiaoxue is a very clever and optimistic girl, and when danger comes, she will definitely find a way to save herself. Now we all knew she was missing, but the search and rescue team found nothing but her hiking bag. To put it mildly, if Snow had been eaten by a tiger or a wolf, she would have left a few bones or pieces of clothing behind! Therefore, I guess that Xiaoxue may have hid in some very hidden place, and even the tiger and wolf could not be found, so those search and rescue personnel have never been found. You call Mayor Lin again and ask the search and rescue personnel to go up the mountain again and search carefully, and ask them to pay special attention to some caves and leeward foothills and behind rocks. Maybe Xiaoxue is hiding in a corner and waiting for someone outside to come to the rescue. ”
The old chief raised his head, choked up and said, "Xiao Leng, my square inch has been messed up, and I have lost my cool...... Your analysis is right, we can't lose confidence, maybe Xiaoxue is hiding somewhere at the moment, waiting for others to come to the rescue!"
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Meng's number, asking him to send someone up the mountain to search again.
But Lin Meng told him that the search and rescue team members could no longer go up the mountain, because the mountain beam across the Grand Canyon between Huxieping and Jiguanling had been wrapped in ice as thick as two inches, and the entire mountain beam had become a cylinder like a popsicle......
The old chief hung up his mobile phone, buried his head in his knees, and fell into deep pain and despair again: if the search and rescue team could not go up the mountain, even if Xiaoxue was still alive, she would be alone on the mountain, even if she did not freeze to death, she would have to starve to death, and there would be no hope of survival......
Seeing that the old chief was silent, Li Qingshan asked anxiously: "Chief, what did Mayor Lin say? Could it be that those search and rescue team members are unwilling to go up the mountain?"
”
The old chief nodded and said, "It's no wonder that they, they have done their best." Now that the road up the mountain has been blocked, they can't take a few more lives in order to save Xiaoxue! Moreover, according to their analysis, there are many fierce beasts in this mountain, and such an icy and snowy place is the time when these fierce beasts are most lacking in food. Xiaoxue stayed alone on the slope of the mountain surrounded by tigers and wolves, and her chances of survival were slim. So ......"
"Impossible!"
Li Qingshan didn't wait for the old chief to finish speaking, and roared with red cheeks: "I don't believe that Xiaoxue will die! She is so smart and clever, she will definitely have a way to avoid the attack of the tiger and wolf! She must be hiding in some hidden place now, waiting for us to rescue! If they don't save her, I will save her! I must rescue her!"
As he spoke, he asked the guard to take his mobile phone and dialed He Yiyong, the captain of the Snow Leopard Commando Team: "He Yiyong? I'm Li Qingshan!"
"Hello Commander Lai, what are your instructions?"
"I order you: immediately send the best pilots and special operators of your brigade to Xionghu Mountain and Huxieping in North Sichuan City to search for a missing girl, this girl is named Lin Xue. My request to you is: to see people in life, and to see corpses in death!"
He Yiyong hesitated on the other end of the phone, and said in embarrassment: "Commander, Xionghu Mountain is now snowing heavily, the weather conditions are very bad, our helicopters may be difficult to enter, and even if they do, our special combat personnel will not be able to parachute, and it is very difficult to search and rescue!"
"It's not too difficult, what am I looking for you to do? If you can't parachute, you can ask them to hang directly from the helicopter, this is a compulsory training subject for your special combat personnel, and it shouldn't be too difficult!"
He Yiyong listened to Commander Li's tone, as if he was very dissatisfied, and did not dare to talk about the difficulties anymore, and replied very resolutely: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
An hour later, more than a dozen Zhi-9 military helicopters flew to the vicinity of Xionghu Mountain, but their flight path was blocked by the snow, and they could not get close to Xionghu Mountain at all.
After Li Qingshan heard He Yiyong's report on the situation, he was silent: If even the Snow Leopard Commando Team can't fly into Xionghu Mountain to rescue Xiaoxue, then there is really no help!
The old chief, Sneer Xiaotian and the others had been waiting for the news of the Snow Leopard Commando with hope, and when they saw Li Qingshan's expression after receiving the call, their hearts immediately cooled: The Snow Leopard Commando Team is a world-famous elite team of special operations, especially good at raiding the enemy in all kinds of harsh weather conditions, and can retreat with their whole body every time. If even they can't go to the mountains to rescue Xiaoxue, then no rescue team in this world will dare to enter the mountains......
At this moment, Sneer's phone suddenly rang, and when he answered, it was Lin Xue's mother, Xue Ningning.
I heard her cry on the phone and say: "Xiao Leng, Xiao Xue has always liked you and trusted you, and my family Lao Lin and I also admire your ability." Auntie, I beg you: You can find a way to come here quickly, and let's find Xiaoxue! If Xiaoxue has any accidents, I don't want to live......"
Sneer Xiaotian was actually thinking about going over for a long time, and when he heard Xue Ningning say this at this moment, he hurriedly said with tears in his eyes: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll find a way to come over immediately! Don't be too sad, Xiaoxue is still missing, as long as she is alive, I will find her!"
Xue Ningning heard him say that he immediately found a way to get over, and hurriedly kept saying thank you on the phone.
The old chief said worriedly: "Xiao Leng, the mountain is now frozen with snow and ice, and there are tigers and wolves, can you go up? Besides, if you take a train from here to northern Sichuan, it will take a day and a night, and by that time, I am afraid that Xiao Xue will already ......."
Li Qingshan didn't wait for the old chief to finish speaking, and immediately rushed to the side and said: "As long as Xiaotian can go up the mountain to save Xiaoxue, I will find a way to go to North Sichuan City to ensure that you will be able to arrive tomorrow morning." ”
As he spoke, he dialed the number of He Yiyong, the captain of the Snow Leopard Commando Brigade, again: "He Yiyong, please immediately send a helicopter to Wushui County to pick up someone, the sooner the better! You can land on the football field of the sports center in Wushui County, and the person you want to pick up is called Sneng Xiaotian, and he will be waiting for you on that football field!"
"Yes!"
He Yiyong answered cleanly this time......
By the time the helicopter carrying Sneering Sky flew to the Xionghu Mountain Management Committee, the wind and snow had stopped, but the temperature was still very low. The plane landed on the big lawn in front of the Xionghu Mountain Management Committee, and Lin Meng and Xue Ningning anxiously greeted it, and brought Sneng Xiaotian to the Management Committee with hope. In that large conference room, the leaders who were congenitally involved in the search and rescue work were sitting around a conference table, thinking about what to do, and when they heard Lin Meng say that he was going into the mountains alone to rescue Lin Xue, his eyes widened in surprise.
A fire brigade squadron leader said to Sneer Xiaotian: "Little brother, if you don't have Spider-Man's eaves and wall walks, I advise you not to take risks! The mountain beam between Rooster Crown Ridge and Tiger Xieping is now like a slippery popsicle, and people can't stand on it at all, let alone walk to the opposite side." We have sent our best warriors to test it, and they said, "If anyone can go from that ridge to the other side, they will call that man a master for the rest of their lives!"
Sneering Tian was unmoved, and said very resolutely: "Thank you for the leader's reminder." Still, I wanted to give it a try. Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life! I firmly believe that Lin Xue is still alive and will definitely get her back!"
When Lin Meng and Xue Ningning heard the words of a sneer, their originally dim eyes immediately flashed with a glimmer of hope......
Sneer Xiaotian didn't ask for any other equipment, just prepared a long climbing rope, a thermos bottle filled with hot water, a bag of bread, a few bottles of milk, and a knife, all in a large backpack, and climbed to Xionghu Mountain alone.
