Chapter 2035 - Playing with Death
The mountain road is steep, there is ice and snow everywhere, and the higher you go, the lower the temperature, and the breath in your mouth will instantly turn into frost and mist. After a gust of wind, tiny snow particles float up on the thick layer of snow, drift down the mountain, and fall on everyone's faces, penetrating the skin, making people feel the chill that is cold to the bone marrow.
"It's so cold!" The madman shuddered, wrapped his coat, "Phew! Then he spat again, and looked up at the steep mountain wall, which had existed for thousands of years, "It seems that we still have a tough battle to fight!" ”
No one paid attention to him, and a group of people walked silently for more than an hour, and the narrow and steep, snowy mountain road suddenly became wider. Originally, there was a cliff about thirty or forty square meters protruding from the cliff in front of it, which was very flat, and there was a house made of stone on it. On one side of the house, next to the edge of the cliff, there was a huge stone standing upright, like a monument, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky, standing proudly there.
Only the house and the boulder were covered with snow and ice, and the whole view of it could not be seen. Yang Luo walked over and took the ordnance shovel to shovel off the ice and snow on the boulder, revealing the true face of the stone. The surface of the stone has been trimmed, but it is not smooth, it is pitted, and it is indeed written with red paint, but it can be spotted, and after the erosion of years of wind and rain, it has long lost its original appearance, and after Ivan's identification, it is determined that it is Russian, but what is written, it is no longer recognizable.
Yang Luo looked at this boulder standing on the edge of a cliff of nearly four thousand meters, next to it was a perennial snow-covered snow-capped mountain, on the top of that high mountain, the white snow and the white clouds in the sky seemed to be connected, and this boulder and the snow-capped mountain were perfectly integrated. Even after decades of wind and rain erosion, his surface has been deeply engraved by the years, but its roughness, his most simple and tough charm has not diminished in the slightest. Everyone who stood in front of it seemed to have penetrated time and space and seen that period of history, that era of blood and fire.
Yang Luo took a few more steps forward, came to the stone house, and once again used the military shovel to slash indiscriminately. Ice chips flew and soon revealed a one-meter-high and less than two-foot-wide door, blocked by a wooden plank. Yang Luo raised his foot and kicked the wooden plank to smash with one foot, although it had been covered by ice and snow for decades, the wooden board was still tough, and the moment it was kicked and broken, there was a crisp cracking sound.
Yang Luo stooped and walked in, the sound of crunching metal rubbing under his feet, and a thick layer of rusty bullet casings was laid on the ground, and there was a 12 on the inside of the door. The 7 mm Deshka heavy machine gun, with the unfinished chain stuck in the magazine, and a simple chain reloader next to it, was also rusty. And across the door, there was a smashed radio station.
There was a lookout in front of the stone house, and Yang Luo picked up the armor shovel again, knocked down the ice and snow at the lookout, poked his head out and looked out, with a smile on his face.
At this time, Li Tao and the others also got in, looked left and right, and then also ran to the lookout, Li Tao said with a smile: "This place is really good, as long as you hold a high-powered telescope, everything under the mountain is hidden." ”
Yang Luo leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette and said: "The location of this lookout post is indeed very good, and it is estimated that it is also set up to prevent Afghan guerrillas from sneaking up and down the mountain." After all, it's not easy to go up the mountain here, but it's not a lot of effort to go up the mountain in other places and get down here. And it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the supplies are sufficient, there is no problem for a person to defend for a year. ”
Ivan said: "But in the end the Soviet Union was defeated, as you can see from the situation here, the retreat was in a hurry, and even weapons and radio stations were not taken away." ”
At this time, the ghost fox, the blood angel, and the red leaves also came in, and the small stone house suddenly became crowded. But in any case, it is much warmer to be able to shelter from the cold wind in the house than outside.
Yang Luo looked at his watch, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon: "Okay, let's rest for ten minutes." ”
Ten minutes later, everyone walked out of the house, and Yang Luo said to the ghost fox, the blood angel, and the red leaves, "How is it?" Do you have altitude sickness? ”
Altitude sickness, no matter whether you are good or not, whether you are a top killer or not, if you have altitude sickness, it can really kill people. As for Li Tao and them, needless to say, they have been training in a harsh environment all year round, and snow-capped mountains like this have long had the ability to adapt.
The three women shook their heads at the same time and said, "No! ”
"It's good if you don't have it!" Yang Luo spoke, raised his head, and really began to look at the snow-capped mountain in front of him. As far as the eye can see, the entire mountain is covered in ice and snow, and the eternal ice and snow shine with a cold and dazzling light under the sunlight. And they are all vertical cliffs, which can be more than 300 meters high, and in the sedimentation day after day, year after year, no one knows how thick the ice and snow is, and it is definitely not easy to conquer it. And the worst thing is that there are several cliffs that are concave into an inner arc. Once you start climbing, there will be no way back, and if you want to survive, you can only go up and up until you completely conquer it, otherwise there is only a dead end.
Ivan frowned and said: "Yang, it's too dangerous to go up here, the air here is thin, even if you go down lightly, you have to bear the pressure of low pressure, when there is a lack of oxygen, you will be overwhelmed." Let's find another way to do it. ”
Yang Luo shook his head slightly: "It's too late, I have to go up here." ”
"Boss, let me go first!" Li Tao had a determined look in his eyes.
"Fuck off!" The madman scolded, "You don't have as much physical strength as mine, so I'd better go first." ”
Long Xin said: "You all stand aside, I'll come first." ”
"I'm coming!" Xu Hang took a step forward.
"Don't rob any of you, let me come!" Yang Fengyun also stood up, and the others also struggled to be the first to go up.
"Shut up!" Yang Luo roared, and everyone closed their mouths, "To connect the special climbing ropes, it must reach at least four hundred meters." After speaking, he took off his cotton coat and threw it on the ground.
When everyone saw Yang Luo's cold face, no one dared to speak, and the ghost fox wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, his eyes were full of worry.
Several special climbing ropes have been linked for more than 400 meters, and Yang Luo cut the climbing rope with a saber and cut it off, which can be three meters long, and two are tied to each wrist. Then they took all the bayonets in Li Tao's hands, four of which were tied to the other end of the climbing rope, and the other bayonets were inserted into their waists for later use, and finally the attached climbing rope was tied around their waists.
"Be careful!" The ghost fox came to Yang Luo and gave him a whole collar.
The corners of Yang Luo's mouth hooked up a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Yan won't dare to accept me, otherwise when I get below, his position will be unstable." ”
The ghost fox glanced at Yang Luo: "You can't be serious?" ”
Yang Luo's face was blank: "I'm talking to you very seriously." ”
The ghost fox had nothing to do with Yang Luo, hugged Yang Luo tightly, and said softly: "If you die, I will also jump here." ”
Yang Luo's heart twitched suddenly, and he patted the round shoulder of the ghost fox: "I said that it will be fine, and it will be fine." ”
The ghost fox gently bit his lip and suddenly pushed Yang Luo aside to stand aside. stared at Yang Luo with both eyes, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to tell Yang Luo, I am a talker, if something happens to you, then I will die with you.
The smile kept on Yang Luo's face, looking very relaxed, which also made everyone's nervous mood relax a lot.
The blood angel was still expressionless, and said lightly, "Be careful." ”
Yang Luo smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
The blood angel said: "I don't care about you, your life or death is my business, I care about your death, who does I want my commission?" ”
Hongye also nodded his little head: "That's it, that's it, you must not die, otherwise the commission will be in vain." I went all the way with you to this ghost place where birds don't, and in the end I couldn't get the commission, wouldn't I have lost my money? ”
Of course, Yang Luo understands that the Blood Angel and Red Leaf are not afraid that they will not get the commission. It's a different way to show that you care about him.
Yang Luo took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, the bayonet in his hand stabbed into the ice fiercely, splashing ice chips all over the sky, and then another bayonet also pierced into the ice more than a meter apart, and then one foot stepped on the bayonet, and the third bayonet entered the ice more than a meter apart. But when one of his feet stepped on the second bayonet, one hand grabbed the climbing rope tied to his wrist and shook suddenly, and the first bayonet bounced out of the ice with a bang, and then Yang Luo reached out and grabbed the bayonet.
In this way, Yang Luo used four bayonets, a simple tool that could not be more rudimentary, to climb up little by little to conquer an iceberg nearly 400 meters high.
Time was gradually passing, and everyone looked up, squinting, looking at the lonely figure, climbing upwards little by little. Two hours later, Yang Luo had climbed halfway up the mountain, which was the inner arc of the cliff. At this time, Yang Luo's upper body leaned back, and his whole body was clinging to the cliff. At this moment, there was a crisp sound under his feet, and the bayonet made of stainless steel suddenly broke, Yang Luo's body sank, and the arm holding the military stab suddenly tensed, and his whole body was suspended in the air.
The breathing of the people below suddenly became heavy, and the ghost fox's hands were clenched into fists, and his white teeth bit his lips, and thin blood was already oozing out. And the blood angel and Momiji, the nervous body is trembling slightly. At this time, if Yang Luo misses, there will only be one end that will be broken bones, and no one can save him.
"God forbid, God forbid!" Del kept drawing a cross on his chest, this had never believed in God, but this time he pinned his hope on God, which showed how dangerous Yang Luo's situation was at this time.
"Poof!" The bayonet in Yang Luo's other hand stabbed into the ice, his hands were already blue from the cold, but he still grabbed the two bayonets vigorously, and then with a force of both arms, his body was forced to rise more than a meter, and one foot finally stepped on a bayonet reserved below.
"Huhuhu......"
The low pressure on the plateau seemed to make Yang Luo carry a weight of twenty or thirty kilograms, especially since the excessive exertion just now had made him lack oxygen, and the heavy wheezing sound of the lung lobes as if they were about to explode lasted for a long time before slowly subsided.
"Whew!" For more than ten minutes, Yang Luo exhaled a long breath and eased up: "Damn, I almost hung up a little bit." ”
