Chapter 177: Dome Trap
The sound did not penetrate the snow curtain, nor could it overpower the sound of the wind, and it looked thin and hoarse in the gray of the sky and the earth......
Lin Xuan searched in circles around the place where the distress signal appeared, and soon found something when he made the tenth circle. Where the strips of cloth appear, the thickness and color of the ice are different from other places, so it must be strange here.
Lin Xuan pulled out the Resurrection Blade of the treasure knife given by the empty sand, and slashed twice at the ice, the power of the treasure knife was amazing, and a few knives down, no less than the effect of the mountain opening axe, immediately cut out the half-foot-long ice trough.
"We're in ...... I'm ...... ice Beneath the ice...... ...... below" An extremely faint voice came into Lin Xuan's ears.
He listened intently, convinced that it was not an illusion caused by the sound of the wind, and immediately leaned over and pressed his ear to the ice. A chill came, causing pain on his forehead.
"We're under the ice...... Three meters under the ice......"
This time, Lin Xuan heard it clearly, it was indeed a human voice, but the voice was too vague to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Is it Tian Meng? Is it Tian Meng? I'm Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan shouted.
"Yes...... It's me...... It's me, save me ......" there was a response under the ice.
Lin Xuan perked up, threw away his mountaineering bag, ran his arms through his arms, and brandished his sword to cut the ice. Ice chips flew everywhere, constantly splashing on his face, but he didn't care, he just wanted to rescue Tian Meng as soon as possible.
It is said that the Resurrection Blade is made of ancient steel mixed with unknown Extraterrestrial Divine Iron, and its hardness and toughness are the best choice, even if it is used as an axe to chop ice, it is very convenient, and under hundreds of slashes, there is no curling blade...... Fortunately, thanks to this treasure knife, Lin Xuan was able to quickly dig more than a meter down and dig out an ice trough that was one meter long and half a meter wide.
Now, Tian Meng's voice can be heard clearly: "Below me, there is an ice cave about three meters deep, and the thickness of the ice cover is about one meter to one and a half meters. You beware, don't get bogged down, it's a dome-shaped structure, and once it falls, it's hard to escape. ”
Lin Xuan controlled the direction where the treasure knife fell, and cut for more than ten minutes, and finally chiseled a half-foot-long gap in the ice.
Tian Meng's voice came clearly from below: "Thank God, you are finally here. I knew you weren't going to let it go. ”
Lin Xuan suddenly felt extremely ashamed, if it wasn't for figuring out some things, adjusting his thinking in time, and realizing that Tian Meng was in danger, then at this moment, he was still obsessed with the sudden appearance of the ice beam, ignoring Tian Meng, and the latter continued to fall into the depths of death.
"Don't be afraid, I'll save you." Lin Xuan continued to excavate, widening the gap to half a meter square, and then saw Ueda Meng sitting tiredly on the blue-black stone.
Tian Meng looked up with his face up, his eyes looked at each other, his eyes intertwined, and both of them felt like they were separated from each other, both ecstatic and sad, both painful and happy.
"I'm sorry I'm late." Lin Xuan said.
"It's not your fault, it's me who is too bent on going my own way......" Tian Meng responded.
"Wait a minute, I'll hang the rope and pull you up." Lin Xuan immediately started to prepare. According to the common sense of mountaineering, a three-meter-long rope can solve a qiē, and the dome structure below cannot be climbed, and Tian Meng can only get out of trouble with the help of external forces.
"No, Lin Xuan, wait a minute, I don't matter, you look over here first." Tian Meng shouted, and stretched out his hand to the front right and pointed.
"What?" Lin Xuan leaned over a second time, but the light in the ice cave was a little dim, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"My flashlight is out of power, you throw a flashlight down first, other book friends are reading:." Tian Meng said.
Lin Xuan took out the flashlight from the mountaineering bag and threw it down, Tian Meng caught it, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on the right front.
There is only a small amount of ice on the ground in the ice cave, and the rest are all blue-black rocks, which means that the ice blocks are piled up here to form an oval igloo with a diameter of eight meters and a height of more than three meters.
On the ground in front of Tian Meng, there was a stone cave with a length of one meter and a width of half a meter. The stone cave was swarthy, and he didn't know what it was, but Lin Xuan deduced from Tian Meng's painful expression that Tian Yunong must be below.
"It's Tian-senpai down there, right?" Lin Xuan asked loudly.
"Yes, it's my father down there. I jumped off because he was here. Now, my life and death don't matter, I have to save him. Tian Meng responded in a deep voice.
Although she forced her composure, her voice was already crying.
Lin Xuan weighed the situation, it was obvious that he couldn't go down directly, and even on this ice sheet that formed the dome, he couldn't drive piles at will, it was very likely that the ice sheet would collapse, and everyone would fall.
"So what's next?" Lin Xuan asked.
"My father fell about 30 meters below and was half stuck. I've lowered the ropes, but he's not very conscious, and I can't wake him up. Tian Meng replied.
Lin Xuan immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to ask Samantha for help, but Tian Meng immediately raised his hand and screamed: "Don't, Lin Xuan, don't ask anyone for help, because my father said before that many people lose their lives because of the secret of the axis of the earth, and he should not follow in the footsteps of those people." He can't trust the Russians, not even anyone. So, don't tell the camp, it's going to kill him. ”
"That-" Lin Xuan hesitated a little, but finally gave up on rescuing. Of course, under normal circumstances, his trajectory here would be captured by a communications satellite and then transmitted to Samantha's computer as it was. He believed that as long as Samantha saw that he was in danger, he would definitely send someone to save him.
Tian Yunong was too selfish and always wanted to monopolize the secret, so he led himself to fall and had no one to support him.
There are countless explorers like Tian Yunong in the world, so there are often explorers who dominate the world and suddenly disappear somewhere, and in the end only the remains of white bones remain.
Those who don't give others a chance will not be given a chance by God.
"Okay, I'll come down." Lin Xuan said.
He laid three anchor piles in succession on the ice sheet, distributed in equilateral triangles, and the one closest to the gap was the shallowest to drive it, after all, considering the bearing capacity and overall stability of the ice sheet. If the fight is too deep and the bones of the ice sheet are damaged, the horizontal fragmentation will occur, and the ice sheet will collapse in a large area.
Heavy snow can cause large avalanches, and unstable ice can also cause large-scale displacement, collapse and other geological disasters, bringing disaster to explorers.
After the anchor pile was completed, Lin Xuan wrapped the rope around the pile and slowly pulled down the ice sheet.
In fact, the vertical distance from the top of the ice sheet to where Tian Meng was standing was close to four meters, and it was impossible to escape with his bare hands.
As soon as Lin Xuan landed, Tian Meng threw himself into his arms, his arms wrapped around his waist, his throat choked, and he couldn't say a word.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Xuan soothed in a low voice.
"If you don't come, even if I am a ghost, I will not be able to forget you." Tian Meng sobbed.
Lin Xuan hugged Tian Meng tighter, and for a moment, his heart was in a trance, and he seemed to have returned to the day when Tang Na jumped into the ghost lake without hesitation. If he had been there at that time, he would have said the same, and he would have hugged Donna to defend her against the wind and frost on the snowfield.
"I'm here, don't worry." He said softly.
