Chapter 183. mine
The heavy snow fell slowly from the sky like goose feathers, adding a bit of grace to the soft snow layer on the ground. And in the middle of a mountain range, which looked no different from the surrounding mountains, there was a strange thing that frightened many of the birds that had not migrated, and flapped their wings and fled through the snow, as if something terrible was about to burst out of the white snow.
The animals' ability to predict was undoubtedly their survival instinct, and within seconds of the birds flying, the strange sound was already behind the white snow layer of the rock face. Before he could react, the seemingly ordinary layer of snow instantly protruded outward, and at the same time, two bright silver figures were whistling and rolling up the snowflakes behind them, with the roar of the engine and exhaust pipe, quickly rushing towards the hillside below.
Liszt's eyes looked through the windshield and looked at the goose feather snow in front of him, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slowly. The burning sensation in his stomach continued, bringing him a warmth all over his body, and although the taste of vodka was cold, it was indeed a warm and good thing after drinking. He still vigorously twisted the handlebars to accelerate, and at the same time turned his head to Karl behind him and shouted: "If nothing else, maybe we can reach Kitimat Town in four hours!" ”
"Four hours? Captain Liszt, I have to say that with the current weather and road conditions, I think we need five hours to see the edge of Kitimat Town, which is already very good! ”
Sitting in the rear drive, Carl, who was also wearing bloated and cold-proof clothing, also had a certain helplessness on his face. The eyes under the windshield looked in front of the eyes. The goose feather snow that dyed almost the whole world white. It has also obstructed his vision. But Carl still had a wry smile on his face. Sitting behind Liszt, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said loudly: "The heavy snow that has just fallen is also a test for our snowmobile!" ”
Although the snowmobile is a mobile artifact for snow warfare, the skis installed under the body are still designed according to the hard snow layer, and the goose feather snow that has just fallen for three days has already covered the original hard snow layer. Only this soft layer of snow that cannot be held up at all is left, but it is also a lot more cautious for snowmobiles.
Although the soft snow layer can bury the rocks and makeup, but it also obscures the driver's vision, once they misjudge that the snow in front of them is an excellent passage, if they encounter the grooming or even the rocks, the whole person falls into a dog and eats, it is simply not too embarrassing.
But along the way, Liszt, who was responsible for opening the way ahead. But he didn't find so many stumps and rocks, and the whole person unscrewed the accelerator on the handlebar fiercely. With that piercing roar, everything rushed forward as normal. And just behind him, another snowmobile also followed closely behind him about ten meters, following his route.
It's a mountainous area, and with so much snow, it's usually less than two hours away, but now it takes five hours to reach it safely. And this is the reason why they have snowmobiles, if they still walk or rely on other tools to move forward, I am afraid that even if it is a day and a night, it is also a gift from God to be able to reach the vicinity of Kitimat Town.
Although the goose feather snow fell slowly, the galloping snowmobile made the goose feather snow a heavy snow. The situation of more than four hours passed quite quickly, and even Liszt had accumulated a layer of white snowflakes, which looked like rocks in winter, and was not at all noticeable.
This reconnaissance is still quite important, Liszt and they are all wearing white winter combat uniforms, and at the same time there is a white camouflage cloth behind them, as long as part of the belt is unfastened, the camouflage cloth behind them is enough to cover the whole body, which can make them the best cover in this white snow.
"We seem to have reached the vicinity of Kitimat Town!"
Liszt was still subconsciously twisting the accelerator, and the snowmobile under him also made a certain hoarse sound because of the long-term situation. But Karl behind him raised his head slightly, wiped the frost on the windshield, looked at the undulating mountains around him that seemed to be quite familiar, and then suddenly patted Liszt in front of him, and said loudly: "There are less than ten minutes away, and we can directly see the houses in Kitimat Town!" ”
"Is it finally here?" Liszt in front of him slowly relaxed his cheering hand, a chill almost enveloped his body and mind, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of white mist, his eyes were also a little blurred because of the cold wind stained on the windscreen, but he wiped it off lightly, his brows were slightly stretched, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's finally here!" ”
Along the way, the main driver and co-pilot of the two snowmobiles, although they are taking turns to turn on the snowmobiles, but in the face of the cold weather of minus 30 degrees, they still feel the full malice from the winter in this high-speed movement. Gradually stopping his advancing snowmobile, Liszt turned his head to look at the marines behind him who were still following, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Maybe our snowmobiles are really not suitable for long-distance running." ”
"I agree, Captain Liszt."
The snowmobile approached, almost the same as Liszt, but the marine, who had been frozen like a stone, stared at the red circles under his eyes, and quickly pulled out the small flask in his arms. After three or two clicks, he unscrewed the spout, and he suddenly poured a big sip of the cold vodka inside, feeling the heat that seemed to burn down the esophagus, and then nodded to Liszt with a wry smile: "This journey is simply too uncomfortable, and now I can't even feel my legs, whether they belong to me or not!" ”
He patted his thigh a little helplessly, and after stopping the snowmobile, he couldn't help but turn over and jump off. The soft layer of snow directly covered his calves, and this young man from the Marine Corps walked around the spot a few times without care, and at the same time walked towards the gap in the forest not far away, but a crisp sound appeared in his ears with the action of stepping down, making his face change, and he instantly raised his left hand, gritted his teeth and exclaimed: "It's a mine, damn it, be careful, this is a Canadian minefield!"
