Without arguing with them, I crouched down, put down the ice axe in my right hand, pulled out the tactical knife stuck in my thigh, and began to slash the rope with the serration on my back!

Larry and Poche were stunned, while Lao Dao and Shen Tangzhi shouted in unison:

"Are you crazy?!"

"You're crazy?!"

As he spoke, the two of them subconsciously came in my direction.

"Don't come here! The ice can't hold it! ”

I shouted to stop them from approaching me, and they had to lie on the ice again, and at the same time I let go of my hand, which had already cut the nodes of the rope, and I was free.

"You guys get out of here!"

I dropped it, took the tactical knife in my mouth, lifted the ice axe with my free right hand, and crawled towards Poche's side on all fours.

Ten seconds later, I approached Poche, and I handed the ice axe and ice pick to him with a shocked face: "Hit the anchor point!" ”

My scream woke Boche up and ignited his survival ** again.

Without further hesitation, Boche immediately took the ice axe and the icicle and began to lay down the icicle.

Perhaps nervous and frightened, I heard Poche's breathing rage, his face covered with sweat or tears, and in an instant it froze on his cheeks.

But Pope's hands didn't stop, the ice axe was raised high and smashed down, once or twice, the ice axe deviated from the landing point and smashed into Pope's hand holding the ice pick, and the hand was immediately bloody and blurred, but Pope didn't realize it, and just continued to swing the ice axe fiercely......

I began to approach the Northern Irishman named John, but at this moment the terrible sound of "Titicaca" sounded again!

The terrible sound was like a magic sound, more like an invitation to hell, and my heart tightened again as if it had been struck!

Suddenly, the ice crevasses began to expand again!

"Help me—"

The Sherpa at the edge of the ice screamed and was dragged into the cracked ice......

I lunged at John's side, who was already frighteningly frightened.

His eyes were staring straight at the crack in the ice that was cracking towards him, and both hands and legs were subconsciously kicking and clutching the ice, but the tightly taut rope made his body keep sliding towards the crack in the ice!

"Help, O God! Help me! John's mouth kept screaming in horror.

I grabbed the rope from John's body as hard as I could, but only stopped the slide a little, and John's screams of terror in my ears made my head explode!

I just shook my hand and gave him a loud big ear scraper, and whispered intimidatingly, "Be quiet - if you still want to live!" ”

I threw out this slap without sparing, and John was instantly stunned by me, and I took the opportunity to order him: "Hold on to the ice!" ”

At this time, a shout from Shen Tangzhi sounded not far away: "Catch-"

I looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a long black strip on the ice, sliding towards me quickly, and I subconsciously opened my hand and took it into my arms.

At first glance, it turned out that what Shen Tangzhi threw at me was a pair of ice picks and ice axes, tied together with her pale pink ribbon headband, and the silver metal nameplate of Miffy Rabbit on the headband.

"Hold me tight!"

I let John hug my waist, and I lay on the ground, my limbs pressed as close as possible to some of the ice protrusions, so as to give myself more points of focus, and at the same time, I didn't have time to untie the ice axe and ice pick that were tied together, and directly picked up the ice axe and smashed the tip into the ice!

The ice axe groaned on the ice, and a deep notch stretched on the ice.

Not far away, Poche was doing the same thing as me.

But the speed of the slide slowed down, but about five meters away from my toes was a crack in the ice, which was gradually cracking in the direction of me and John......

"Cut the rope!"

Shen Tangzhi in the distance gave a prompt again, and I was also suddenly said to John: "I have a knife tied to my right leg!" ”

At the same time, the ice axe in my hand suddenly slammed into a natural groove, which was probably a bubble when the ice surface was formed.

But this little bubble is now going to save our lives.

The slide stalled again.

We all fell into a tense silence - John desperately severed the rope with the serrations of the dragon's teeth on the back of the tactical dagger, I grabbed the handle of the ice axe with one hand and pulled it through the safety rope around John's waist with the other, and Poche tried to lay the anchor not far away.

"Ka! Ka-"

Just a few seconds later, the terrible sound of ice cracking sounded again, making us shudder like a death knell!

In the corner of my vision, Boche seemed to have laid an anchor point, and he tightened the rope around his waist around the handle of the icicle!

The next second, I felt a violent thump, and the rope around John's waist suddenly tightened my left hand, almost making me cry out in pain.

As soon as the ice axe in my hand loosened—the little ice hole finally couldn't bear the stress and turned into broken ice.

John and I suddenly lost control of our bodies and slid into the crevasse of the ice that was spreading at a slow, terrifying rate.

But a brief moment later, I felt another twist in my left arm—the rope suddenly tensed between Poche's anchor and us—

The slip stopped!

But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my eyes widened again—the icicle we saw as our savior, trembling with the force of the fall, and was about to be pulled out of the ice!

I grabbed the rope with my arm desperately, although I knew that my little strength could not make the difference between the outcome of this wrestling, and I could only shout: "John, cut quickly, the anchor point can't hold on!" ”

"Click-click!"

The ice pick was pulled out of the ice.

"No!" Poche's desperate voice came.

As the anchor point was destroyed, a huge force came from the rope, and John's bodies and I lost control again.

"Broken, broken!"

A cry came, it was John.

The rope was finally cut.

As soon as the rope broke, the force around my waist vanished, and I finally felt like my arm belonged to me again.

I didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, so I desperately pulled up John: "It's not out of danger yet, keep running!" Run! ”

My shout woke everyone up, and needless to say, all the rest of us ran desperately, and not far behind us, the shattered ice crevasse had expanded into a large crater, a forbidden area for life, a terrifying abyss of giant beasts devouring human life!

A few minutes later, we all crossed the glacier safely.

The others who were waiting in the safe area quickly helped us who were almost out of strength because of the desperate running.

Looking back, I saw a picture that was both terrifying and shocking -

The ice crestic that devoured the seven lives of Karma and Xinan was already hundreds of meters wide, and it continued to stretch, like an ice and snow dragon, raging in this glacial belt.

Behind the dragon, a huge ice pit with a radius of thousands of meters has been formed, and at the edge of the ice pit, the glacier continues to collapse, and there are huge ice blocks that are more than a dozen stories large and dozens of meters wide.

Shen Tangzhi, Lao Dao, Haide and others and I looked at this scene, and we were all apprehensive and afraid.

If it weren't for the fact that we were right in front of us, we wouldn't have believed that under this glacial belt, there was such a wide underground river!

"It's not a dark river, it's a dark lake." Tenzin Kava's voice said, "I didn't expect that the bottom of this glacial belt has melted so badly. Tenzin Kava sighed.

"Damn Globalarming!" The older white man, Farado, clung to John and spoke out with hatred.

But I heard something else from Tenzing Kava's words: it seems that Tenzin Kava knew that this glacial belt was unsafe, but Tenzin Kava did not warn everyone in advance.

So, how many more dangers along the way will Tenzin Kawa shy away from?

Why did he do it?

Of course, this mountaineering operation will not be a simple ascent to the top, but I still can't guess where Tenzin Kava will take us.

I can't help but look at Farrado and John, who are supposed to be the "strangers" mentioned in K's message - what treasures did they bring to Tenzin Kava, and what do they know?

By the way, the "strangers" should probably also add the fake Yu Wei and the other two who were attacked by Heiruba - this group of "strangers" had to blend into our team because they had an accident on the way, what was their purpose?

Do those two guys who claim to be from Northern Ireland know the identities of me and Lao Dao and the other four?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, but I also knew that I had no choice right now.

"Boom-"

Just when everyone was afraid, there was a roar of thunder.

"Snow, avalanche......" Poche gasped.

In the distance, on the huge cliff of Dhaugiri Peak, a white line was sweeping down, thundering and lightning, like the earth cracking and the sky collapsing.

"It's better to have an avalanche now than if we climb it later." Tenzin Kawa Dao.

Everyone looked at the scene of the big avalanche in the distance in horror, and they all nodded in agreement with Tenzin Kava's words.

"Rest on the spot for 10 minutes, count equipment, and treat the wounded." Tenzin Kawa commanded, "Then we will continue to set off." ”

Finally, when I arrived at C1, it was already six o'clock.

After crossing the glacial belt, the remaining 16 of us did not encounter any major dangers, but we lost 7 people on the journey out of BC to C1, which was unacceptable in the eyes of the vast majority of the group, because almost none of the mountain guides in this group had such a brutal experience.

Generally speaking, fatal accidents occur during the summit operation after stationing in C3 or C4, or after crossing the 6,500-meter mountaineering death line, and C1, where we are at the moment, is only 5,550 meters above sea level.

Rather than being offended by the delay in arriving at C1, Tenzin Kawa was a ruthless but experienced mountaineer, and after assigning everyone the task of building the camp, he even comforted the team one by one to ease the negative emotions caused by the death of one person.

The reason why the C1 camp was chosen here is that it is the closest to the ridge, where the pass meets the ridge, and it is a relatively safe place.

Camp C1 was built an hour later, and everyone felt reborn as soon as they entered the tent.

When it was time to eat, Tenzin Kava was so pale that he gathered everyone.

He announced a very bad news and an even worse news.

After talking to BC and learning that there might be a snowstorm tonight, Tenzin Kawa instructed everyone to connect all the tents and have a night watchman in each tent during the night.

To make matters worse, the duration of the blizzard is uncertain, but Tenzin Kava has already made a decision: whether or not the blizzard stops tomorrow morning, everyone but a few who remain in C1 will continue to move on.

No one has any objections, because objections are useless - even if someone can sneak away from under the nose of Tenzin Kava, they will inevitably be caught by the guards who remain in the BC, and the fate is naturally needless to say.

If you continue to move forward with Tenzin Kava, there is at least a glimmer of life - Tenzin Kava will not take his own life into account, he must have a reason for doing this - the vast majority of people will have such thoughts.

Tenzin Kava's next words confirmed everyone's thoughts.

He said that although the mountaineering operation was still carried out in accordance with the general procedures (including recruiting mountain guides, contacting BC backup, etc.), since everyone had followed up the mountain, he had to tell everyone the truth......

Tenzin Kawa said: "Actually, this operation is top secret. There will be no backup in any case other than the mountaineering team and the guards who remain in BC - not even the Nepalese government will acknowledge the existence of this mountaineering operation, and after the mountaineering team leaves BC, I have ordered my guards to completely destroy all data. ”

"In fact, the guards who remain in BC also have another important task - to eliminate any possible leakers."

Tenzin Kava looked around and said in a deep voice: "So, I advise you all to put away that little bit of caution in your hearts, otherwise, I don't think this mountain peak will mind accepting a few more corpses of 'mountain victims'." ”

Everyone was finally in an uproar.

At this time, Tenzin Kawa stood up, he raised his hand and made a downward motion, and the guards around him also pulled out their guns.

The people fell silent.

"Listen to me, friends."

"I'm a Sherpa too, guys. Not only I'm a Sherpa, but all my guards are Sherpas – we're all from the same blood, guys, we're compatriots. ”

Tenzin Kawa spoke with a majesty of his own, which made everyone's eyes unconsciously focus on him, and he pointed to me and Lao Dao and the other four, as well as the two white men: "As for them, these four Chinese, they are my friends and Sherpa friends, and this operation cannot be carried out without them; And two other white friends also bring us important news—but they are here for the same thing. ”

"This is a secret, a secret that belongs to us Sherpas."
