Chapter 120: Death Rescue (Extended Length)
The rubble, snow and ice that piled up like a tide are getting closer and closer to us, and it seems that we can't escape the bad luck of being buried if we choose this highest point. It seems that people are too small to compete with nature! Not even the strength to resist.
Now that the whole valley basin seems to have become quicksand in the desert, everything is sinking into the middle, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking and countless small peaks are suddenly collapsing, and I wonder if there is also a black hole in the center of the earthquake that swallows everything around it.
However, the speed of the collapse was far less fast than the speed of the collapse around us, and we saw that the tumbling rockflow was getting closer and closer. I pushed An Beimo and a few people to a high place, but they were restricted by the rope, and at most they only moved up a step or two.
I shouted to the crowd, "The speed of the collapse is accelerating, you put the rope longer, and then go up to it." My hoarse shouts were drowned out by the roar around me, and in desperation I gestured to make everyone understand what I was saying.
So everyone released some of the ropes that bound them, but they didn't dare to release too much, otherwise the vibration of the earth's crust would turn people directly down to the heights.
I was the last to go up, and the rolling stone tide was almost at my feet.
Even so, we were able to hold on for an extra minute or two, and there were a lot of small pieces of gravel that could already splash on us, and the mass was almost in between breaths.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up dust and we were almost blinded.
I quickly put on my goggles, and suddenly I saw a helicopter "whin" quickly flying above our heads, and it was also half a circle in the air.
When I saw our flag on the plane, I was surprised and delighted that the backup had finally arrived. But then I saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the plane, and my heart lifted again, and I didn't know what had happened to them.
The helicopter turned on the speakers, and a voice shouted at us, "Come on!" The chaotic magnetic field is too strong, we can't stay for long! As he shouted, he threw a rope ladder from the cabin.
It just fell in front of Shen Hao's eyes, he caught it, and pulled it tight from behind with both hands to stabilize the rope ladder.
Hugo pulled Feng Jiutian's arm, dragged her to the rope ladder, and told her to hurry up with a gesture.
Feng Jiutian's hair had been blown loose under the wind generated by the helicopter propeller, she hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the rope ladder and began to climb up.
The surrounding earthquake continued, and even if Shen Hao grabbed the rope ladder, he couldn't stop it from swaying back and forth. Feng Jiutian's every step was extremely difficult, I looked at the chaotic stone flow behind me that was still approaching, and I was secretly anxious, but I also knew that this was not to blame Feng Jiutian, it was really shaking too much.
Finally, Feng Jiutian climbed up one meter, and Hugo followed and let Qixing go up. Qixing knew that Hugo was injured and wanted Hugo to go first, but was pushed up by Hugo.
I put the rope out again, and when I saw Qixing getting up the rope ladder, I immediately pushed An Beimo over.
didn't get Hugo's instructions, An Beimo was obviously resisting me. I looked at the rocks that were almost under my feet, supported her waist, and lifted her to the rope ladder.
At this time, I can't care about any orders or not, and in times of crisis, I should let the woman go first.
Shen Hao glanced at me with a horse step, and then looked at Hugo, his expression was a little complicated.
With the assistance of Qixing, Feng Jiutian went up much more smoothly, and when An Beimo climbed up half a meter, I saw that someone had already reached out from the cabin and pulled Feng Jiutian in.
I helped Hugo to the bottom of the rope ladder and tapped him on the shoulder to get him up quickly. I knew that if I didn't make the first move, he would definitely order me and Shen Hao to go first.
Hugo's face was ugly at this time, and he was a little unhappy to see that I was making the decision for him on my own initiative.
But at this time, who still cares about his identity and position, I unceremoniously gave Hugo a hand, whether he liked it or not, and forced him to climb up.
Suddenly there was a pain in my foot, and a stone fell on the surface of my foot. I cursed, it was the surging rockflow that had hit my feet.
I grabbed the rope ladder with one hand, and with the other hand dragged Shen Hao under the rope ladder. Shen Hao stared and dodged, but he refused to go up before me.
Now that I had no time to entangle with him, I pulled his belt and lifted him up with one arm. At the same time, the rocks under my feet instantly covered the surface of my feet, and my calves were scorching and painful under the impact of the stones.
Shen Hao was startled when I lifted it up, and immediately raised his hand to grab the rope ladder. But he refused to go, and when he saw that the rocks and soil were about to submerge my calves, he was about to pull me back.
The surging rocks and dirt were pushed by a bulldozer and pressed down on me, almost reaching my waist in less than a second. If I hadn't grabbed the rope ladder for support, I was afraid that I would have been knocked down by the covered rocks and soil, and I would have been buried alive underneath.
The helicopter is also in danger at the moment, and the end of the rope ladder is covered with sudden debris, which is very likely to become entangled in heavy rubble. Once the rope ladder is hooked, no one on the plane will want to leave.
In an emergency, I pulled out the rope ladder with all my might, and pulled out the part that had been submerged in the rocky soil. Suddenly, his heart was hit by a tumbling boulder, and he immediately broke free from the rope ladder and fell forward. The gravel and dirt that followed from behind flooded me in an instant.
Shen Hao was in a hurry, and suddenly planted the onion upside down, and finally hooked it on the rope ladder with his foot, and directly put his hand into the pile of rocks and grabbed it indiscriminately, completely ignoring the sharp stone horns that were cut in several places in his arm.
Fortunately, I haven't been pushed away by the stone flow yet, Shen Hao grabbed me a few times and actually grabbed my belt, and he lifted my arms upwards with all his strength, and Leng lifted me out of the pile of rocks.
There was blood on my wrists and head, and I didn't know how many places I was injured by the rubble, and I spit out a few mouthfuls of stone and soil that I poured into my mouth, and there was bloody spit.
At this time, An Beimo just climbed into the cabin, looked back and saw clearly, and immediately took the airplane intercom headset next to him and shouted: "Hurry up!" Fast! β
The helicopter pilot immediately pulls the steering stick and keeps the plane upward. He is a little later, not to mention that I will be buried alive for the second time, even Shen Hao will be swallowed by the stone flow.
As my body rose, I was secretly terrified to see that the mountain we were standing on had been completely submerged by the torrent of rubble. Hurriedly lowered his head and grabbed the rope ladder, let his legs step on the rope ladder as well, and then immediately helped Shen Hao straighten his upside-down body.
The two of us quickly climbed upward, hanging in the air involuntarily intimidating.
When I was the last to be pulled into the cabin, Shen Hao and I were lying on the floor of the cabin together, gasping for air at the same time.
It was too dangerous just now, if it weren't for Shen Hao turning over and going to the stone flow to rescue me. Before I could suffocate to death, I was crushed to death by thousands of tons of rubble.
I looked sideways, and everyone else was sitting on either side of the cabin. This time, there was no danger, and everyone was out of danger smoothly. The heart that I had been carrying until now returned to its original place, and I felt a sense of relaxation.
Suddenly, a person stood up and strode to me, and I looked at An Beimo curiously. She pulled out the gun, loaded it with a bang, and squatted down and put the gun on my forehead. Her face was full of anger, and the coldness in her eyes was like an exploding beast.
Everyone, including me, was taken aback, even Shen Hao next to me was frightened by An Beimo's anger and took a few steps back.
An Beimo has never been so angry, she has always been indifferent and arrogant, indifferent to everything, and being able to provoke her to be so angry shows that the situation is extremely serious.
I didn't understand what this sudden change was about, so I was so shocked that I quickly raised my hands and said, "Goddess! Don't be impulsive, it's me! What are you doing here? β
An Beimo stared at me with cold eyes and asked, "Do you want to die?" Do you feel that it is redundant to live in the world? Do you want to throw away your life at the first opportunity? β
These questions made others feel inexplicable, but I was shocked, like being struck by lightning, my whole body was stiff and stunned on the spot, and I couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing that my eyes were dodging, An Beimo shouted: "Look at me!" Answer my question! If you don't value your life so much, I'll help you get rid of it with one shot! Why bother to make others feel guilty for you? β
Everyone didn't know what An Beimo was talking about, but I knew it in my heart. She was right, the moment I was overwhelmed by the rockflow just now, I did feel a kind of relief and relaxation, as if the deepest burden in my heart disappeared in an instant, and I became calm.
I was a little nervous, I didn't know what An Beimo had discovered, or if she had known something. I whispered to her, "Y-What do you mean?" "I don't know why I don't have the slightest confidence.
An Beimo ignored my question, and she continued to say coldly: "If you can't untie the knot in your own heart, leave the D.R.T team when you go back!" You can't even save yourself, so what qualifications do you have to save others? β
Her harsh reprimands made me suddenly sweat and terrified. Even the fear that I had never had in the face of a strong enemy was now stimulated by A Beimo's words.
Seeing that I was distracted, my eyes were empty, and my mood was extremely low, An Beimo slowly removed the muzzle of the gun, and said to me in a softened voice: "I don't know what happened to you in the past to make you so disregarded for your own life." But have you ever wondered? You still have those of us who are living and dying with your teammates now, what kind of damage will your abandonment do to us? β
Every word of An Beimo was like a sledgehammer beating hard in my heart, my mind was blank, as if my spirit flew out of my body, completely forgetting who I was and where I was.
I don't know when An Beimo has left, and even Shen Hao was called away by Hugo, leaving me alone to sit in the corner in a silent daze.
The great changes outside continued, and the roar continued. The helicopter flew away from the core of the cataclysm, but instead of leaving, it circled around.
Later, after listening to Hugo's inquiry, I learned that the helicopter was late and was also affected by the catastrophe. Due to the abnormal magnetic field caused by the burst of pressure, the helicopter was attacked by lightning as it entered the area.
Fortunately, the helicopter has advanced equipment and strong protection, and only some of the instruments are damaged. Although it smokes, it does not affect the flight. This is the same reason as when Hugo was struck by inexplicable lightning, which was caused by a mutant magnetic field.
Now Hugo's micro- and nano detector is back in function, and he uses satellites to detect changes in the surrounding terrain. Fortunately, the range of the earth's crustal cataclysmic radiation is not large, and the outward spread is less than one kilometer from the center point of black hole formation.
The pressure on the earth's crust was gradually relieved, and the basin was already covered by countless rocks, snow and ice, and the subsidence of the terrain was again obscured. From the air, it was as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for everyone's personal experience, I couldn't believe that the sky was falling apart just now, and now it is slowly returning to calm.
Many are buried permanently underneath. There are enemies, there are friends, and there is a mysterious iceberg snowman. These are things we can't forget!
We can't find their bodies, and for the friends who left, we can only choose to silently remember their names in our hearts.
The helicopter did not leave for two reasons, one was to search for Wu Jingshan, who had never been seen, and the other was to search for the traces of Montgomery, the leader of the escaped mercenaries.
I sat there for a while, and Shen Hao quietly walked over and put a lit cigarette in my mouth. After smoking a cigarette, I stabilized a little, strengthened my spirits, and joined the search.
More than an hour later, we found no signs of life in the vicinity. The hearts of the people were a little heavier, and Hugo suggested that the search area be increased.
It was still An Beimo's sharp eyes, and she saw something not far from the core of the earth's crustal cataclysm. The helicopter flew over and lowered the cable, and without saying a word, I was the first to grab the rope and slide down, followed by An Beimo, and then Shen Hao.
Hugo was injured and had difficulty moving, and he didn't need so many people to go down, so he stopped the seven stars who were about to follow.
An Beimo ran to the location where the anomaly was found first, and Shen Hao and I followed. As soon as An Beimo stopped, Shen Hao and I first guarded the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, we leaned over to see what An Beimo found.
There was a pool of blood on the ground, and I wiped it with my finger to check it a little, but it still hadn't coagulated.
In the middle of the bloodstains, there was a piece of minced flesh, which looked very bloody and disgusting. I took a rock and turned the minced meat over, only to see that it was half a human head.
The three of us were a little surprised, this half head only had one eye, half nose, and the mouth didn't know where it went. But we can all see that this is MΓΆnggo's head!
I didn't expect to see Meng Ge's body here, and asked curiously, "How is this possible?" I remember that Meng Ge obviously fled in the other direction, how could he have half his head here? β
An Beimo thought about it and said, "Maybe the Night Emperor did it!" Looking at his broken wounds, it is very likely that they were torn apart by the Night Emperor. β
Shen Hao glanced around and asked, "Then why didn't you see other body parts?" The Night Emperor tore off half of his head and threw it here, what does this mean? β
I said, "Maybe the Night Emperor caught him and wanted to take him somewhere, but Meng Ge had to play tricks in the middle of the way, and he was disposed of by the Night Emperor." And the rest of the parts may have been taken away by the Night Emperor. β
"Maybe!" An Beimo said: "Although this yellow-haired Night Emperor is still in the form of a beast, he is extremely human, and his intelligence is not low, it may really be like what Black Eagle said." Whatever the reason, this bastard has finally been punished! Li Mingche's revenge can be regarded as revenge. β
I nodded, and was about to say to leave, when I suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and I squatted down and reached out to play with the half of my head.
Shen Hao said disgustingly: "Black Eagle! Why are you so heavy-tasted? You can do this, huh? β
As he spoke, I pulled out the eyeball of MΓΆngke's remaining eye.
Such a bloody Shen Hao suddenly took a few steps back, for fear of being splashed with blood.
I held my eyes to them and said, "Look what this is!" Now I finally understand how he found Li Mingche behind him at that time, it turns out that he pretended to be this! β
An Beimo and Shen Hao listened to my words, and then they came to take a look curiously, only to see that in my hand it was not a bloody eyeball, but an electronic and mechanical prosthetic eye!
After taking a few looks, An Beimo said: "This thing is very advanced, I'm afraid we have to take it back to test it before we know what it is!" β
I nodded, and suddenly raised my hand, and threw the prosthetic eye to Shen Hao. Shen Hao was caught off guard and subconsciously caught it, and immediately got a hand of blood. He bared his teeth and scolded me for being deliberately bad, and I smiled and walked towards the helicopter with An Beimo.
After returning to the helicopter, Shen Hao immediately handed over the false eye to Hugo. Hugo looked at it for a long time and couldn't see the structure, so he put it away and handed it over to the higher department for inspection after returning to the headquarters.
After that, we searched for a long time, but there was still no news about Wu Jingshan, and even the life detector did not find any signs of biological existence.
It wasn't until the sun went down that we had no choice but to give up and return home.
For Wu Jingshan's life and death were unknown, Feng Jiutian really blamed herself. From the moment we decided to sail back, Feng Jiutian's face became extremely resentful and sad, and he sat in the corner without saying a word from beginning to end.
Qixing dealt with everyone's injuries, and then everyone sat in the cabin thinking about their own thoughts, and no one said a word for a long time.
Looking out of the window, a snow-white Himalayas are still so vast and magnificent, and Mount Everest stands tall between heaven and earth, maintaining its majestic giant.
Just like when we came, it slowly covered with a veil of mystery again, hiding secrets that would never be known.
It looks so beautiful from the air, but behind this magnificent beauty, there is the annihilation of life and blood.
Perhaps no one will ever know about the black hole on Mount Everest, and countless people will still come here every year to challenge the limit and climb the peak; Or some scholars who are looking for the traces of the mysterious iceberg snowman. But what they don't know is that under this snow-capped mountain range, countless lives have already melted into it.
