Seventeenth Avalanche

"No one is allowed to talk, not even fart." The fat man said to us in an extremely soft voice, "Look for any rocks or ice crevices nearby, we're going to be out of luck." ”

"Impossible." Lang Feng was dumbfounded there: "I calculated the weight......

Monk Hua covered Lang Feng's mouth and motioned for him to speak later if he had something to say. Several people were in a cold sweat, looking at the top of their heads, while tiptoeing on their backs to put on their equipment, looking around for a place to take refuge. The snow layer above this is not thick, and even if there is an avalanche, it will collapse on a small scale, but the place where we are standing is really not good, too close to the fracture surface, the snow chΓ‘o rushes down, and it is easy for us to get wrapped, and below is a steep slope of extremely high height, and there is no place to escape.

At this time, the best way is to find a protruding mountain rock as the fat man said, hide under the mountain rock, or find an ice crack, but this should be seen from the movie "Vertical Limit", I don't know if the facts work.

The bare rock we are on is too gentle, hiding below will still give the snow a direct impact, the fat man pointed to the huge walnut-like stone on the side, there is an angle between the bottom and the mountain rock, it should be more appropriate.

We're all gone on the slopes between the rocks, and all that's left is the ice of the glacier, which is so slippery that there's no time to change your skates. The fat man tied the rope around his waist, gave it to us, and bit it and stepped on the ice.

One step, two steps, three steps, each step was like stepping on an egg, and I waited for the 'click' of the yolk to splash. But the fat man was always impressive from time to time, and after three steps, he had climbed steadily onto the opposite stone, dragged the rope around his waist, looked overhead, and beckoned us to pass.

A few of us pulled the rope, first Panzi and the stuffy oil bottle, then Lang Feng who carried Chen Pi Ah Si, and then Ye Cheng who carried Shunzi on his back, I was the last. Seeing that they passed away safely, I felt a lot more at ease. At this time, there was already a snow block as big as a watermelon on it, and the snow crack could no longer support it, and the fat man waved me to be fast.

I patted myself on the face, tied the other end of the rope around my waist, and stepped on my first foot to stand up and steady.

Ever since I was a child, my balance was poor, and I had to fall all over my body to learn how to skate and ride. At this time, I was even more panicked, only to feel that the ice under my feet seemed to be likely to disappear at any time, and involuntarily, my feet began to tremble.

The fat man knew at a glance that I was the most difficult thing to handle, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it so much, it's only two steps, it's okay to jump over." ”

I looked at the distance from me. Sure enough, as long as you can exert enough force, you can definitely jump over. Thinking that as soon as I gritted my teeth, I twisted my waist and wanted to jump up.

But what I didn't expect was that just as I was exerting my strength, my feet suddenly sank, and the ice I stepped on shattered all at once because there were too many people stepping on it just now. My foot slipped on the slope, and then the whole person slid down.

I grabbed my hands and feet, but there was no place on the ice to focus on at all, and all of a sudden I fell directly to the rope and tightened it, and hung on the ice cliff, I heard the click of the mountaineering button, and when I looked down, the card head was actually opened, and I saw that my body was about to unhook.

I scolded in my heart, this damn Xibei must be produced on an obligatory basis!

The fat man pulled me, almost from the rock, but fortunately Panzi grabbed him by the waistband of his trousers, and a few people pulled him up, and they pulled me up with the rope.

But every time I pulled it, the rope was loosened, and I was so anxious that I wanted to kick my feet and re-fasten the buttons, but the ice was so slippery that I only stepped on it for a few seconds at a time and then it slid down, and I couldn't borrow any strength.

Seeing that the button was about to be taken off, in desperation, I pulled out the mountaineering pickaxe, slammed it the ice cliff, and fixed it fiercely. Then I stepped on my left foot, and then I found a place to support, and I hurriedly lowered my head to change the carabiner, but before I could buckle it, suddenly a strange vibration came from above my head.

When I looked up, I saw several people above looking at me with an idiotic look. Before I could react to what was going on, all of a sudden, I saw a white snow mist explode into the air, almost obscuring my entire vision.

It's an avalanche!

There was no screaming, no time to be surprised, and for that moment I didn't know what I was thinking, only to hear the fat man shouting from the side: "Grab the pickaxe!" Stick to the ice! Then all of a sudden it was all black all around me, and my body sank violently, and it seemed that suddenly a dozen people grabbed my clothes and pulled them down, and the rope at my waist was immediately buckled into my flesh, and then a large amount of snow choked into my lungs.

Then, I fell into a chaos, the huge force hit every part of my body, I couldn't even lift my head, soon my throat began to tighten, the extreme suffocation sensation came from my lungs, I just felt like I was thrown into the sugar fried chestnut machine, countless cold things piled up on me from all directions, smashed me, and in an instant, my nose and mouth were full of the smell of snow foam.

At this time, I remembered that ice is an excellent conductor of seismic transmission, especially extremely thick ice, which has an extremely strong resonance, and the pickaxe just now finally catalyzed the formation of avalanches.

I almost wanted to slap myself, but it was useless to regret it, and I was spinning around like a spinning top, and I wanted to grab the pickaxe, but I couldn't even feel where my hand was.

Just when my mind was foggy and I didn't know what to do, suddenly, I felt the rope lift up, and then my body pulled up a little.

I was shocked, it was the fat man who was pulling me from there, and I immediately had hope, and the rope could still react, indicating that the amount of snow coming down from the avalanche was not very thick, and their strength could still be transmitted to me.

I hurriedly pulled the snow stream around me, drilled my body up, and after a few stumbles, with the pull of the rope, my ears suddenly roared, and my eyes lit up, and the surface of the snow stream was poked out.

The fat man and the others hid under the corner of the rock on one side, and the snow rushed over the stone, forming a snowy waterfall in front of them, and several people were unharmed. The fat man and Lang Feng were pulling the rope, and when they saw that they pulled me out, they screamed and asked me, "Is it okay?" ”

I gasped for breath and nodded, and the snow and mist on one side slammed down on me, and I pulled the rope hard and began to move closer to them against the snow. But the force of the snow flow was too great for me to stand up at all, and no matter how hard my hands were, I couldn't move half a minute, so the fat man had to pull me and wait for the snow to flow over.

The avalanche came and went quickly, and in less than half a minute, the snow poured past me, leaving only a large amount of broken snow. I looked down, and the whole valley under my feet was shrouded in white mist, and I couldn't help but be afraid, I was going to rush down, and now there was no life.

I was pulled under the rocks, and several of them gasped for air. The fat man patted me and said, "You kid is really fateful, fortunately this is just a collapse, and there is little snow, otherwise this time it is not only you, but I also estimate that I will have to tear it off for you." ”

I didn't know what my expression was, my hiking hat was gone, my ears were red from the cold, I couldn't hear anything clearly, so I had to pat him and turn my head to look at the surface of the glacier on one side.

The entire slope of snow had been poured down the valley, and a large mass of steep slope glacier was exposed, and from time to time snow was rolling down from above, alerting us to the danger of a second avalanche.

The surface of the glacier is formed by the pressure of the snow layer under the thousand-year-old snow layer, which is often referred to as 'gravity ice'. This kind of ice is naturally formed, and in high-altitude mountains, it will wrap around the entire mountain, forming glaciers, which are generally found on snow-capped mountains, between the snow layer and the mountain, and will not be too thick. There is also a large amount of crushed snow above the ice.

Except for the fat man, we have never seen an actual glacier, in the snow-capped valley, to see such a huge piece of ice cliff exposed, in the light of the setting sun, like a giant carved brand super soap, it is really a shocking thing, we are a little crazy to see.

Ye Cheng muttered on the side: "Lang Da's cannon is not without results. ”

After looking at it for a while, everyone gradually reacted. Monk Hua lit up a few flashlights and shone them into the ice, trying to find traces of the burial tomb. The inside is chaotic and bottomless, and the average snow-capped mountain glacier is almost only one or twenty meters thick, and the thickness of this glacier seems to be a bit abnormal.

The fat man's eyes were very poisonous, and at this time, he suddenly sighed, as if he had found something, and snatched the flashlight from Monk Hua to shine it.

We struggled to follow his flashlight, and under the penetration of the faint flashlight, I saw that in the direction of the fat man, there was a huge shadow looming in the depths of the translucent glacier, which occupied almost half of the ice cliff, looking at the shape, like a curled up baby.
