If I hadn't seen some of the information about glacier explorations, I would have thought the same, but in fact, when people are in the middle of glaciers, the colors they see in front of them are all snow-white, and if you look at them for a long time, it will have a deceptive effect visually. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At this time, in your eyes, let alone distinguish the thickness of the ice, even if a hole suddenly appears, you will also turn a blind eye.

For a very simple example, if you draw on a white piece of paper with a white colored pencil, if no one reminds you, will you notice the presence of paint? Or if you put a white hair on a white wall, how long can you find it?

The problem we are facing today is even more serious than the above two examples, because the glacier is large, and being in it for a long time can cause visual fatigue and, in more severe cases, snow blindness.

After only a few steps, a weak piece of ice in front of him was pierced by the trekking poles, and a large piece of ice around him also fell down, forming an ice hole.

I took a step back, cold sweat slowly oozing from my head, and the marker behind me immediately straightened the rope and shouted at me to be careful.

I beckoned back to him not to be nervous, now that he was safe enough to loosen the rope a little. Since there was an ice hole ahead, I had to go around it and find a new route.

As I slowly moved forward, I didn't have to keep my eyes open to tell the thickness of the ice, just by the sound of trekking poles.

Maybe it was because of my experience, and then I was much faster, and soon reached the place where the armed police disappeared. It was a large hole with an area of at least twenty square meters, and below it was an oblique wave, and from time to time there were upside-down icicles on the way, and through the naked eye, I could only visually detect a depth of about thirty meters.

I took out a powerful flashlight, turned it on and shone into the oblique ice cave, but unfortunately, there were too many ice picks along the way, and my vision could not be stretched straight, and the farthest place I could see was only more than 50 meters.

Li Gao, who was behind him, asked me nervously, "How is it, have you seen Xiao Zhou and them?" ”

I shook my head: "They should have skated deeper into the ice cave, at least sixty meters deep, and they couldn't be seen with the naked eye." ”

At this moment, I faintly heard a small sound coming from the ice cave, and I immediately leaned down to listen again, yes! Someone was shouting in the ice cave, and it seemed that among those who fell, there were still alive.

I happily turned around and said, "Someone is calling for help down there, we have to send someone down to see the situation!" ”

Li Gao's original expression was very frustrated, but when he heard the news, he was excited to run over, but I immediately waved his hand to stop him, reproaching: "Don't run!" Don't run! Take your time, the ice here is too fragile! ”

Li Gao reacted at this time, immediately stopped his steps, made an apologetic expression to me, and then he took out the rope from his baggage and slowly walked towards me.

When he came to me, Li Gaoge was also frightened by the depth of the ice cave: "Why is it so deep!" ”

I hummed and said, "So, the length of one rope is simply not enough, and we have to take another one." ”

When Lao He heard us say this, he immediately took out a bundle of rope from his baggage and sent it over. I handed a piece of rope to Lao He and instructed, "Find a strong ice pick and tie the rope!" ”

At this time, Li Gaoge had already connected the two ropes together, and I said to him: "Let's go down together, and there will be a good care on the road." ”

Li Gao didn't refuse, looked at me with some gratitude, and then took out the safety belt. The two of us quickly fastened our safety belts, threw the rope into the ice cave again, then grabbed the rope and began to descend, with Lee Gao taking the lead.

The slope is about 45 degrees angle, and it is not very difficult to go down, not to mention that there are ice picks to borrow from time to time along the way, so we descended very quickly, and in less than five minutes, we reached the first blind spot in our line of sight, which is 60 meters deep.

Bypassing the huge icicle, we looked down, about fifteen meters away, two SWAT officers were clinging to an icicle, and not far below them, there was a cliff more than five meters wide, I don't know how deep it would be.

Seeing us coming down, the two special police officers were obviously relieved, and Li Gao said, "You hold on a little longer, and I'll come over." With that, he sped up his descent.

In less than thirty seconds, Li Gao arrived in front of the two special police officers, he handed the rope into the hands of one of the special police officers, and prepared to continue sliding, apparently, to see the situation below the cliff.

When he reached the edge of the cliff, he only glanced down, and his whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but cry out sadly: "No! ”

Seeing this, the two special police officers who were about to climb up immediately turned around and shouted with concern: "Captain, you stand firm, don't fall!" ”

Li Gao was not moved at all, just looked at the depths of the cliff stupidly, and after a long time, he suddenly bent his legs, slowly knelt down, and finally sobbed.

Seeing him like this, I basically understood what he saw, and there were no more than two possibilities, first, the corpses of his men, and second, the bottomless cliff. Either way, it was a fatal blow to Li Gao, and it was difficult for him to afford it.

I sighed and reassured, "Let's go!" If they had a spirit in heaven, they wouldn't want to see you like that. ”

Li Gao didn't reply, just sobbed vigorously, and after a while, he stopped crying, but he kowtowed three times to the ice on the edge of the cliff, and then turned around and began to walk back.

On the way back, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

When he got to the top and saw that only two special police officers had been rescued, Qin Kunlun immediately understood what was going on, he sighed, patted Li Gao's shoulder, and said: "Everything is fate, it's not up to anyone, you have to learn to look at it." ”

Li Gao nodded indifferently, then walked a few steps forward and said loudly to all his subordinates: "In the blink of an eye, we have lost eight brothers, don't you feel like a dream?" Do you feel that life is sometimes very fragile? ”

The SWAT officers lowered their heads one after another, and their faces were even more grief-stricken.

Li Gaozhi continued: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the next action will only be more dangerous, if you still want to go back alive, then from now on, give me to be careful and careful!" Do you understand? The last sentence, he almost shouted.

The SWAT officers nodded silently, the sadness on their faces gradually disappearing, replaced by a look of determination.

With the ropes closed, the team continued to move forward, and I continued to be the pioneer.

Chairman Mao once said: "If the world is afraid, it is afraid of the word 'serious'." Indeed, once a person is serious, there is nothing that cannot be done, no matter how dangerous and complicated that thing is.

On the rest of the journey, there were still a lot of fragile ice formations along the way, but with the caution of everyone, no one was hurt or killed by it, although the speed was much slower.

After about two hours, we finally reached the end of the glacial canyon, and in front of us, a thick ice wall.

At the bottom of the ice wall, there is an arched ice cave, which is about four meters high and three meters wide, and it looks deep inside, and the road surface still extends diagonally downward, which seems to lead to the depths of the earth.

After looking at the time, Qin Kunlun said to everyone: "It's half past eleven o'clock, give everyone half an hour to rest, and we will leave on time at twelve o'clock." ”

After a long day's journey, in fact, I didn't go far, and I didn't feel tired physically, but my mental power was very consumed in the case of high concentration, and now I can sit down and rest for a while, which is appropriate.

During the break, everyone naturally took out dry food to eat, and the fastest person was naturally the standard. I'm fine, just slightly hungry, and after eating a pack of compressed biscuits, I feel full.

Soon, half an hour passed, and in the shouts of Li Gao, everyone got up one after another and began to walk towards the ice cave. (To be continued.) )
