Chapter 2: Ice

It's cold......

I was awakened by the cold, and I looked around blankly.

Neither did Chen Jing, curled up in my arms, with tears on her face, although they had condensed into crystals.

Whew, I gasped for breath, and a thick white mist erupted.

Even the white mist only extended a few centimeters before it froze into a small snowflake, and I watched in amazement.

Where is this? It seems that it is still in the half-cut cabin, even if it is in pieces.

Where is it out there? I looked through the crack......

Frozen!

The graduation trip is in the summer vacation, where does the ice and snow come from, it should be to Antarctica, right?

But we suffered a plane crash in Asia, why did it appear in Antarctica, no matter how strong the tornado is, right?

I didn't know, I just shivered from the cold, and curled up tightly with Chen Jing.

Beside him, there was another moan, and there were still people who didn't die?

"Zhou Kai, you are also alive?"

"Damn, what the hell is this? It's so cold!"

Exclamations, but without the slightest excitement of escaping death, we didn't survive, we just ...... It's just not dead for a while.

During the summer vacation, we all wore single clothes, huddled together and couldn't resist the extremely cold temperature.

I gritted my teeth and tore open the cabin seat, took out the sponge and stuffed it into my shirt, but I was still shivering.

The exposed skin seems to be about to freeze and crack, and it hurts.

The tiredness came back at me, and I thumped my sleepy head desperately, and I could not sleep, or I would freeze to death.

"Chen Jing, wake up!"

I whispered, and the girl woke up slowly, her little face full of confusion and helplessness.

Beside me, a few more classmates crawled over, huddled together to keep out the cold, and I counted seven more people.

With nearly 50 students and teachers in the class, plus the flight attendant and the captain, and other passengers, there were only seven of us left.

No one knows, the girl sobbed silently, and the boy looked depressed.

Everyone will still die, even if they don't fall to their deaths due to the plane crash, they will freeze to death.

"Can't stay here!" I said, biting my lip.

If this is really Antarctica, then there must be research bases in various countries, but how big is Antarctica, how many bases are there, and where are they? I can't answer all of them.

But if we want to live, this is probably our last hope.

It's a pity.

"I ...... Can't move. Chen Jing looked at me with difficulty.

During the plane crash, the girl's calf got stuck in the cabin seat, and I had a lot of effort to pull her out, but I looked at the obviously twisted leg bone.

"It's okay, I'm here!" I kissed the girl on the cheek, even if it was her back, even if it was to carry her forward!

"Zhou Kai, we also ......"

Turning my head, my expression froze on my face.

Almost all of them were injured, or they broke their bones in the plane crash, or they had a bloody patch on their faces.

I'm the only one who can stand up? Do you want me to carry them all on my back?

"Zhou Kai, don't leave us ......"

The moans, the supplications, pierced into my heart like an awl.

I know that if I take everyone with me, I may have to die of exhaustion in the ice and snow after walking a few kilometers, but each of them is a classmate who has been with me for many years, and they have more or less some feelings.

At the moment of life and death, is life important? or friendship?

I'm a fool......

I removed the seat belts from the cabin seats and tightened them up.

At the other end of each seat belt, there is a waist tied to me, very heavy, seven people and seven lives!

Looking outside, the hellish ice and snow, I gritted my teeth and stepped out.

The cold wind was getting colder and colder, and the heaviness behind me almost collapsed.

"Move, even if you can't stand up, try to crawl forward!"

Exercise dissipates heat and is the only way to fight the cold, just ......

In the white ice and snow, the physical strength was consumed too quickly, and in only half an hour, everyone was so tired that they could no longer move.

Looking at the semi-unconscious Chen Jing, I even had red pupils, gritted my teeth and carried her, she was the biggest reason for me to persevere!

Can......

I stumbled and fell to the feeling of dizziness that popped into my mind, and the heaviness behind me seemed to crush me.

I knelt in the snow, looking at the ice and snow that still had no end, and my heart was full of unwillingness.

I don't want to give up, I don't want to die, and I can't die.

I remember when I first received my college acceptance letter, my dad cheered and my mom cried with joy, how much effort they put into cultivating me to become a talent?

If I can't walk, I'll crawl forward!

I didn't feel it in my feet anymore, and when my hands touched the ice, it felt like they were being cut by broken glass, and I was still struggling.

Ha, it's funny to say, the reason why I've been able to stick with it until now is only because I ate a lot of free plane meals......

As the saying goes, there is no end to the sky, and I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence until today.

I don't know how long I crawled in the snow, but my vision was blurred, but I suddenly saw a black gray in front of me, which was the only alternative color in the white ice and snow.

I instinctively rubbed my eyes, even though my eyeballs were cut by crushed ice slag, I still gritted my teeth and condensed my gaze.

Is it a scientific base in Antarctica? No, it's just a mountain, it seems to be the end of the ice.

There seemed to be no one on the mountain, not even plants, but there was no snow or ice on that peak.

No snow and ice means no cold, if you can find another cave?

"Wake up, everyone, wake up!"

I desperately pushed my unconscious classmate behind me, and after a few moans, shouts of joy and tears came one after another.

"How long have we been unconscious?"

When people asked me, I smirked and shook my head.

It could be just a few minutes, it could be a couple of hours, I can't tell.

It's just that I never gave up the pace of progress, which is why I saw that peak.

I never left anyone behind, so!

Seven, we were still seven people, struggling to walk towards the peak, walking or climbing, that last little distance.

"Zhou Kai, thank you......"

Li Bin's eyes were red, but it was not that he was frozen, but that he couldn't restrain his tears.

"Zhou Kai ......"

Luo Wenjun and Wu Feng were speechless, Xu was too tired, Xu was too cold, and Xu was too grateful.

"Kai Ge ......"

He Xiaobei hugged my arm, he was relatively lightly injured, and seemed to want to help me share the pressure of Chen Jing on my back.

Ha, in fact, his name is He Xiaojian, and he is one of my best buddies, how could I leave him?

The distance is getting closer and closer, hope finally comes, and smiles begin to appear on everyone's faces, the relief of escaping death.

But God, it doesn't seem to want us to escape this nightmare too soon.

Just a few hundred meters away from the peak, there was a sudden bang, accompanied by a scream......

I was stunned, only to feel my body sinking rapidly and falling into the water!

This is the ice, and there's the sea of ice down there, and it can't bear the weight of the seven of us, so it's crumbling?

I fell into the ice cave, including Chen Jing on my back, and He Xiaobei on my side.

The cold and biting feeling instantly crushed me, the speed of the loss of power was unbelievable, and I even felt that my body was rapidly stiffening, and there seemed to be an extreme cold in the icy water enveloping me...... Condensation into ice?

The feet seemed to have turned into ice stones, and the extreme cold spread quickly towards the upper body.

A few hands grabbed us, but unfortunately, everyone's physical strength simply couldn't pull us up.

Death, once again close at hand, I went crazy, the whole person was almost crazy, desperately lifting Chen Jing on her back up, half an inch, an inch, getting taller and higher, she is my most beloved and important girl.

He Xiaobei sank, and I hurriedly dragged him again, because of that sentence Brother Kai.

"Climb up!"

On the ice, in the icy water, that hand-to-hand fight with death.

Roars, roars, mixed with sobs from the girls.

Finally, Chen Jing was dragged onto the ice by everyone, and I hurriedly held up He Xiaobei and tried my last strength.

But the horror of the next scene......

He Xiaobei was also dragged up, but everyone was stunned, his lower body had been frozen, and his feet were even frozen together, no wonder he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

What is the extreme cold in the ice cave?

Is this really Antarctica? Is there such a low temperature on Earth that can instantly freeze people?

"Zhou Kai?" Chen Jing looked at me who was still in the ice cave.

That was the last time I looked at Chen Jing, that delicate little face.

"Brother Kai!" A few hands reached out again, but it was too late.

The speed of freezing was too fast, from my feet to my waist for only a few seconds, I opened my mouth but could not make any sound, and when the extreme cold spread to my chest and abdomen, it seemed that even my lungs froze, and even my heart froze.

Luo Wenjun grabbed my hand, and Chen Jing also cried and wanted to hug me, but ......

The extreme cold is stretching upwards along my body, as if it wants to wrap around them!

I smiled, I wanted to touch Chen Jing's little face again, but I had to give up, the extreme cold had wrapped around my shoulders, and soon even my arms became like ice sculptures.

I let go of Luo Wenjun and pushed Chen Jing hard to keep the girl away from the ice cave.

There is only one last bit of distance left, and even if we lose me, everyone will be able to climb through it.

Sadly, I saved everyone, but I couldn't save myself.

"Zhou Kai!!"

The sound on the ice, which was no longer audible, sank in.

It's cold......
