Chapter 3 Accidents
Kunlun is not so much a real geographical existence as a cultural feeling. [Ran^Text^Library] [www]. [774] [buy]. The Kunlun Mountains stretch from the Pamir Plateau in the west to the eastern capital, and the vicissitudes of the majestic mountains stretch for more than 2,500 kilometers across Xinjiang and Tibet, and finally extend to Qinghai. Like a giant dragon, it is entrenched in the western part of the land of China. Kunlun has been the first holy mountain enshrined by Taoism since ancient times, and it is the birthplace of the Chinese dragon vein. It is the ancestor of all mountains, immortal Kunlun! The rough cold wind from the northwest desert and the extreme climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have turned the vicissitudes of life into an immortal backbone standing on the land of China, supporting hundreds of millions of descendants of Yan and Huang!
Kunlun Mountains, Yuzhu Peak. The weather was clear and cloudless on this day. The afternoon sun is warm and bright, shining through the thin air of the plateau. The sky blue is clean and pure, like a pure and immaculate sapphire, reflecting the white snow on the ground, coupled with a few white snow peaks in the distance, the scenery is intoxicating. Such good weather will naturally not be let go of mountaineering enthusiasts. On the western slope of Mount Yuzhu, a mountaineering team is moving slowly. The team consisted of seven people, and they slowly climbed to the summit in a long line.
"Captain, wait a minute! Look over there! Lin Xue, who was walking at the end of the line, suddenly shouted at a young man at the front of the line. Lin Xue is really a person as her name suggests, her skin is like cream, and she deceives frost and snow. is a top beauty, but this big beauty doesn't like to spend the moon before and after, but she likes to climb the snow mountain and challenge the extreme sports of the human body. Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Lin Xue, and saw a small waterhole not far from the sight, the pool water was turquoise, and the meltwater from the glacier at the height converged in the low-lying area. The fresh water melted by the glacier that has been frozen for thousands of years is extremely pure, and although it is a little far away, everyone in the team can still clearly see the transparent ice at the bottom of the tank. Pure fresh water gathers on the transparent ice and reflects the blue sky. The waterhole is like a beautiful jewel left from heaven on earth, dotted among the snow-capped mountains.
From the perspective of the crowd, the scene looks like a well-trimmed photograph. Several of the people in the mountaineering team have grown up in the city since childhood, living among high-rise buildings, and they have never seen such a fairyland-like beauty. Everyone froze in place, staring at the beautiful scenery in front of them. It's just that in this beautiful scenery, there is a hidden murderous intention.
"Not good! We're in the glacial fissure zone! Stay where you are, don't move around! Lao Chen, the most experienced in the team, suddenly shouted at everyone. At 37 years old, Lao Chen is the oldest member of the team and has also climbed the snow peak several times. Lao Chen takes care of everyone like a big brother on weekdays, so his words have always been very weighty in the team. Hearing his words, although everyone was confused, no one acted rashly.
"Lao Chen, what's wrong? What kind of crack zone? Captain Zhuang Yichen asked. The glaciers in the Kunlun Mountains are receding glaciers, and the glaciers in the Kunlun Mountains have been slowly melting due to global warming in recent decades. Lao Chen said with a serious face, and when he heard his words, Zhuang Yichen was still puzzled and asked, "Isn't it melting all the time?" Is there anything wrong with that? ”
"We're in big trouble! The water in the waterhole usually flows into the glacier along the cracks of the glacier within a few days, and the water flowing into the glacier will act like a lubricant to accelerate the disintegration of the glacier again, causing the entire glacier to break apart and melt. Now we must be covered with glacial crevasses beneath our feet, hidden beneath snow and thin layers of ice. You can only find out if you step on the air and fall, and by that time it will be too late to say anything. Lao Chen said slowly with a solemn face. Listening to Lao Chen's explanation, Zhuang Yichen looked at the solid ice and snow under his feet, but suddenly had a feeling of walking on thin ice. He remembered some popular science programs he had watched before about the melting of Arctic glaciers, which were basically not much different from what Lao Chen said, and now that everyone is sharing weal and woe, Lao Chen has no reason to be alarmist here to create an atmosphere of panic. Zhuang Yichen settled down and said to Lao Chen: "Then this road has also been walked by mountaineering teams before, and the road we chose has been verified to be no dangerous, how can this be." Lao Chen said bitterly: "I didn't expect the glacier to melt so fast!" ”
As Lao Chen's words landed, a tense atmosphere spread through the team. Zhuang Yichen felt that the burden on his shoulders had become extremely heavy at this moment. If it weren't for his own insistence, how could he put everyone in such a dangerous situation. He looked at the silent crowd behind him, and said comfortingly: "That, you don't have to be too nervous, didn't we have anything wrong along the way?" Everyone stays where they are now, we just send a distress signal and wait for help. Hearing Zhuang Yichen's words, everyone laughed dryly and responded casually, and silence returned to the team.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the team, Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt extremely regretful. This mountaineering team was hastily assembled by itself. Except for Lao Chen, everyone else in the team is a standard urban house like himself. Except for the enthusiasm and passion to conquer the snow-capped mountains, I have no experience in climbing the snow-capped mountains. Everyone knows on social networks and has always been arrogant about conquering Mount Everest, the top of the world. Zhuang Yichen was copied by his boss not long ago, and in a fit of anger, he simply broke the jar and broke it, took out all his savings as activity funds, and was ready to be willful and really climb the snow mountain. With the money, everyone quickly finalized the details of the mountaineering, and after calling a few meetings in reality, they hurriedly embarked on this mountaineering trip. There was no adequate preparation, no professional training, and no long-term relationship between teammates. Encountering danger at this moment, Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt how hasty his move was this time! What a joke with your own life!
As time passed, the sun overhead began to slowly show signs of setting in the west, and it would not be long before it would be dark. The atmosphere in the team was dreary to the extreme, and finally someone couldn't help but speak.
"I'm going back!" Lin Xue suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "When we came, we were all safe, which proves that the road we walked before is safe." Instead of waiting here, let's go back the way we came! ”
"It's like, what if the rescue team doesn't come? We explained the situation, and it stands to reason that the helicopter should have arrived a long time ago! Soon someone in the team responded and said. Obviously, Lin Xue's words are the same as most of the team members' thoughts. "Don't mess around! Can you be sure that every step will follow the footprints you have stepped on? It's a fluke that we're here safe and sound, and who knows how big this glacial fissure area is? Lao Chen said sternly. Zhuang Yichen also stood up, he saw that everyone was faintly divided into two factions to quarrel, and he couldn't help but feel a little big. He is the captain of the team, so he is naturally responsible for the safety of every team member. He said to Lin Xue: "Lin Xue, don't be willful, okay?" Staying here and waiting for help is the safest way to go, we really can't afford to take the risk! ”
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous to stay here until it gets dark?" Lin Xue said angrily, "I don't want to spend the night here!" I don't believe in the danger of the road I've already traveled! As she spoke, she lifted her right foot and stepped forward as if she were angry, trying to prove what she had said.
"Ah~!" With an exclamation, Zhuang Yichen saw Lin Xue's feet slip, and the whole person lost his balance and fell forward.
Looking at this scene, Zhuang Yichen's eyes were split. The nerve that had been tense in his heart was finally broken at this moment, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful! At the same time, the body also subconsciously rushed forward two steps. At the moment when he just stepped forward, Zhuang Yichen felt that his feet were empty, and his body fell down uncontrollably!
"Xiaozhuang!" Lao Chen shouted. This was the last thing he heard before he lost consciousness, it turned out that Lin Xue just fell to the ground just now, but Zhuang Yichen stepped on the air and fell into the glacier crack in the next step of his distraction, and that crack was always next to him.
"Bang!" With the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Zhuang Yichen fell the rocks inside the mountain. Although this glacial fissure is not as exaggerated as the bottomless, it is also more than ten meters from the surface to the bottom, and a fall from such a height is fatal. His body was lying on the cold rock, and there was a hideous wound on his forehead, and a large pool of blood slowly flowed from under him. The blood was gathering more and more, and the universal law of flowing along the river spread to all sides.
Not far from him lay a small gray tower, the size of an adult's fist, that looked like an ornament. The blood quickly flowed to the small tower, and as soon as the small tower came into contact with the blood, it began to emit a blood-red bewitching light, and at the same time, the blood flowing to the tower was also slowly absorbed by the small tower. The small tower absorbed enough blood, and the blood-red light emitted was a little more intense, and it slowly flew up, and entered Zhuang Yichen's body in a flash. A strange scene happened, as the small tower entered, the huge wound on Zhuang Yichen's forehead began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and several fractures and damaged internal organs inside the body were also slowly repaired.
And Zhuang Yichen, who was in a deep coma, didn't know anything about all this.
