Chapter 058: Destination Paranormal
I was overjoyed, and slowly poked my head up from the top of the ice wall. It was a platform-like place, small and empty, and not only did not find any trace of the monster, but there were not even a single footprint.
I climbed up slowly and cautiously, and when my feet stepped on the flat ground, my heart suddenly calmed down, which was much more solid than half-hanging in the air.
I searched the small platform with my gun in hand, but I didn't find any signs of monsters.
"Did it crawl the ice wall and run somewhere else?" I thought to myself, "Or maybe I'm injured and escaped?" "But I didn't find any blood around.
This monster comes and goes mysteriously. I reported the situation to Hugo and told Hugo my guess as well.
Hugo thought for a while and said, "Let go of the rope, let's go up and talk about it!" ”
I cleared the snow from the ground and prepared to start laying ice nails on the ice. The icebergs here are thousands of years of ice, as hard as diamonds, and even if you hit it with a sharp pickaxe, you will only leave a white spot.
But in the face of our equipment, none of this is a problem.
I took out something like an electric drill and put it on the ice, adjusted the touch screen settings on it, and then pressed the switch, a red light shot out, and with a "snort", a hole the size of a nail suddenly appeared on the ice.
Then I took out a thin cylinder like a nail from my bag, with an awl-like tip at one end and a ring at the other. I inserted the tip into the hole in the ground, just the right amount of depth, leaving only the end of the ring on the ice. I fastened the drill-like thing to the ring, adjusted the function buttons, and then pressed the switch, and I heard a few slight "clicks", and the cylinder under the ice twisted, separated into countless small barbs, and stuck into the surrounding ice.
I took the rope off and tied it in a ring on the ground. In order to ensure safety, I also deliberately pulled a few times with all my strength, and it was very strong.
After checking around one more time to make sure it was safe, I threw the rope down the ice wall.
"The climbing rope is secured, and I put it down five meters to the left from where I just climbed. Be careful when you come up, it's likely that the monster that attacked me is still moving on the nearby ice wall. I said to Hugo and the others on the intercom.
"Roger!" Hugo replied to me immediately.
After waiting for less than a minute, I saw that the rope fixed to the ground suddenly tightened, and it seemed that Hugo and they had successfully found it. After that, Hugo's voice in the headset said: "The goddess has gone up, Black Hawk, you cover her." ”
I thought that the second one to come up would be Shen Hao, but I didn't expect it to be An Beimo. I was very curious and thought: "This woman is quite bold, knowing that there is a lurking danger, she actually dares to come up the second one!" ”
Each of them has an automatic rope climbing device in their waists, so they can walk up without exerting any effort when they put the rope into the equipment and step on the ice with their feet. I calculated, and it is estimated that it will not take two minutes for An Beimo to reach the top.
I stood guard on one side and monitored the rope and fixing point, and two minutes later, An Beimo walked up with a sniper rifle. I went over and pulled her to the platform, and she untied the rope and said to the people below, "I've arrived, it's safe all the way, you can move on to the next person." ”
followed by Hugo, followed by Seven Stars, and finally Shen Hao.
It seems that the monster is really gone, and when everyone is ready, I will give them a brief description of the appearance of the monster I have seen, and see if anyone has ever heard of such a thing.
Everyone was at a loss, listening to my description is a bit like a white-haired gorilla, and a bit like a white bear, because I have also seen a rough outline, so there is no more detailed description of the characteristics.
Hugo finally told us that there are many legends throughout the Himalayas, including the sighting of mysterious beasts. Each of the discoverers swore that they had seen it with their own eyes, but none of them could tell the exact situation, almost the same as what happened to me. So the rest of the team couldn't guess what it was.
If you can't think of this, you can only put it aside, the task is important at the moment, but fortunately I am safe and sound, and everyone will immediately move towards the set goal.
Now, due to the blizzard, the satellites in the sky cannot measure the details of the terrain around us, and the locator on Hugo's arm can now only lock the coordinates of the position where we are going, and nothing else can be surveyed.
I narrowly escaped death just now, and Shen Hao patted me comfortingly when he passed by me. I didn't care, I might have slipped back from the death line several times, and I was a little used to it. The others couldn't help but look at my indifferent attitude.
It's already very close to the target position, this time Shen Hao will take the lead, and I will press back. The five of them were tied together with safety ropes and moved forward quickly. As I was leaving, I glared at the ice wall again, and I had a hunch that I would soon meet the monster again.
After that, there were a few small ice slopes, and Hugo told everyone to take precautions, maybe there were already outsiders nearby.
If there are outsiders, I don't know if they will be able to find us. In the real struggle, no one's scientific and technological equipment is bad, and whoever is more advanced will be able to take the initiative. As a special forces team, you must first put safety first, and here you will encounter a life-and-death battle, no one will negotiate, and no one will show mercy.
In terms of action, we are still very confident. With the support of scientific and technological equipment, we are walking on the ground in such a place that ordinary people cannot reach at all, although it is also very difficult, but it is quite smooth.
When he saw that he was about to arrive, Hugo stopped the procession and said: "Go over this ice mound in front of us again, and we will see our destination, everyone remember!" The task is the first, if you encounter a foreign enemy, don't fall in love with the war, completing the task is the first goal. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" Four of us replied at the same time.
Hugo then re-formed the formation, with Shen Hao and I forming a covering group to set off first, Hugo and Qixing followed in the middle, and Anbei Mo Hall behind. In case of danger, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can shoot autonomously.
After checking the weapon, I nodded to Shen Hao, I took him first, and the two of them walked towards the back of the ice mound at a constant speed.
The ice mound was not high, and we soon turned over, but as soon as we walked past the highest point of the ice mound, I immediately stopped Shen Hao, who was following behind.
Shen Hao looked at the scene in front of him and blurted out in surprise: "I'll go!" What's that? ”
I asked Shen Hao to stop the guard first, and I said to Hugo behind me: "Hugo! You better come and take a look, the situation is a bit special, and I don't know how to describe to you what I saw! ”
Hugo didn't say anything, and rushed up from behind with Seven Stars. When he came to me and saw what was happening in front of him, his body shook visibly and froze. And Qixing was even more surprised when he saw it, and shouted: "Oh my God! How is this possible! ”
Just a few hundred meters in front of us was a huge depression that was sunk in the shape of a trumpet in the surrounding icebergs. Hindered by the surrounding mountains, the wind and snow in this depression are much smaller, and we can roughly see the outline of this depression from such a distance.
I crouched down and took a closer look with my binoculars, and the hollow was really like a huge horn being split from it, and it was embedded horizontally in the ice, and even the inside of the hollow was in the shape of an arc like the inside of the horn.
And that's not the most amazing part, just in the deepest and widest part of this horn hollow, there seems to be a huge whirlpool of air rolling, like a tornado lying on the ground, but not as long as a tornado. If I had to describe it, I felt like I saw an electric fan running at full power.
Far away, I can't see how this vortex came to be. It's white like clouds, or snow, or both.
After a moment of surprise, Hugo reconfirmed the positioning system. That's right, this is where we're going. But there are no wrecked planes, no doctors, just a spectacle that none of us can explain.
"Let's go down and have a look!" Hugo decided, "Whatever it is, we have to find out." ”
Naturally, everyone has no opinion, Shen Hao and I continue to take the lead, Hugo and Seven Stars are in the middle.
I haven't seen An Beimo's figure all along, and I still didn't see her when I set off, so I asked Hugo: "What about the goddess?" I didn't see her. ”
Hugo said to me: "She's right behind us, don't worry!" ”
Hearing that Hugo was sure, I continued on my way, observing the terrain as I went.
The place is very cleverly hidden in a basin surrounded by icebergs, and the smallest position of the bell mouth is directly facing the gap between the two icebergs.
I looked at the gap in the huge iceberg, not to mention one plane, even three flying side by side.
If the plane we're looking for is missing here, I suspect it might have flown through this gaping hole into this flared hollow. But looking at the wreckage of the plane around at all, could it be said that the plane flew directly into that whirlpool? But why did it deviate from the course and fly here? And why did he fly into this hollow so coincidentally? It's all too coincidental, and it's so weird!
I guessed wildly, I didn't stop, I walked for almost an hour and didn't even reach the edge of the horn, I secretly thought that this is called Wangshan running a dead horse, looking at the distance is quite close, in fact, this depression is much more than we imagined.
After another forty minutes, we finally came to the center of the naturally formed basin, next to the loudspeaker on the ground. It was nothing from a distance, but now that I got to the front, I realized that even if I stood at the smallest position of the horn, the diameter of the semicircle of this ground would reach a distance of four or five hundred meters.
And as soon as it entered the basin, the storm disappeared immediately, as if it was blocked by the surrounding peaks, and only the snowflakes still fell freely from the sky. But without the wind, the snow drifted much gentler.
I stood right in front of the whirlpool, looking at the huge "fan" that was tumbling on the other side, and it felt like I was facing a huge mouth that could swallow everything, and it seemed to be slowly approaching me.
