Chapter 13: Snow Ants
I don't know how far I had traveled, but the sky began to lighten, and Kampot stopped and looked back, but there was no sign of Lausanne and Yangjin Ram, and no snow ants were chasing after him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He was vaguely uneasy, so he beckoned everyone to stop, and said: "This kid Lausanne loves to be strong, that Nepalese girl is going to die, and he has to accompany him, what do you say this looks like?"
Seeing that Lausanne and Yangjin Ram hadn't caught up for so long, the big man Bayi couldn't help but feel impatient. Through getting along with Lausanne and others along the way, he has long regarded these people as his most important brothers and sisters. Now that Lausanne and Yang Jinram have been missing for a long time, and he has also seen the power of the snow ants, he said worriedly: "Then what do you say? You have the best relationship with Lausanne, so you should give everyone an idea." ”
Kampot sighed, quickly unloaded the things on his back, took out seven or eight incendiary sticks from his backpack and put them in his arms, put the submachine gun on his back, and said, "What else can I do about this? As an elder brother, I had to go into battle to save this bastard boy myself." He looked full of fearlessness and wanted to die, and arranged: "You wait here, don't get separated, I'll come when I go, and I don't know if these insects are afraid of this thing." ”
Several other people still wanted to follow together to save people, but they were all stopped by Kampot, and he comforted everyone: "I said that you are going to make trouble like that? You can rest assured, I know this kid from Lausanne, don't look at him as a recent college graduate, that skill is quite good." It's hard for everyone to escape, why are you going to die again, stay here. ”
Although he said so, he really sweated for Lausanne and Yang Jinlam in his heart. After all, Kampot and Lausanne grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is quite deep. When he couldn't find a job after graduating from Lausanne University, he called Lausanne to Lhasa and opened a shop selling thangkas for his childhood small investment, which he operated.
Kampot did not dare to delay any longer, and quickly turned around and hurried the way he came. While hurrying on the road, I prayed for Lausanne and Yang Jin Ram: "My Buddha, you have to bless Luo San and Yang Jin Ram, a pair of stupid babies, although the two of them are a little stupid, but on the whole, people are still very good, as long as you bless the two of them safe, I will recite Om to you every day." ”
The sky is getting brighter, and the east is white. Kampot walked faster and faster, and in the end he was running in a hurry, and he was very worried that Lobsang and Yangjin Ram would make a mistake, and he wished that he could fly.
Rounding a slope, they saw from afar Lausanne and Yangjin Ram hunched over with their clothes in their hands, and the flames burned on their clothes, and they retreated as they waved, and a large field of snow ants came towards them both like a violent flood. The ants that rushed to the front were forced to disperse by the flames on their clothes, and the ants behind quickly made up for it.
It turned out that the ants who had eaten the yak saw Lausanne rushing out of the tent with a human skin thangka bag, so they turned their target to Lausanne who fled for his life like crazy, and several ants who rushed in front climbed onto Lausanne's trouser leg, he was so frightened that he kicked his legs away, rolled on the spot, and jumped out of the way. He didn't have time to think about it, so he got up and ran towards Yang Jinram in a panic.
I only heard Yang Jinram shouting: "Take off your clothes and light it, the ants are afraid of fire." ”
Lausanne took off his clothes while running, and looked down to see that dozens of snow ants that were climbing fast had reached his feet, and he hurriedly waved his hand to shoot down his clothes, and the dozens of snow ants that rushed the most bravely were shot to death by Lausanne. However, a steady stream of snow ants from behind continued to move towards him.
Lausanne touched his pocket with his clothes, where there were matches. Just now, I used too much force in a hurry, and my pocket burst under the huge centrifugal force, and the matches and cigarettes contained in it had already been thrown out of nowhere.
Lausanne exclaimed: "Oh no, the pocket is broken, and the match doesn't know where to fly." ”
Yang Jinlam saw that Lausanne had no matches, so he touched himself, but fortunately he also brought a plateau windproof lighter. He didn't care so much at the moment, rushed to Lausanne's side, and set fire to the clothes in his hand. He quickly took off his coat and lit it, and retreated with Lausanne. They waved their flaming clothes as they retreated, and the snow ants were forced back by the heat of the flames, and then continued to gather and attack them.
Kampot unplugged the incendiary rod, rushed to Lobsang and Yangkinram, and threw it at the snow ant colony. The bright light of the burning rod instantly illuminated the entire hillside as if it were day, and the snow ants were frightened by the sudden change and stopped crawling for a while.
Lausanne didn't expect that Kampot would come to the rescue at a critical time, and said excitedly: "You are the most reliable at a critical time." ”
Seeing that they were all right, Kampot said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? As the saying goes, when you go into battle, father and son soldiers, fight tiger brothers, where you have you, can you be a brother without me? But I also thought that you doll has a big life, and nothing will happen." ”
This kind of incendiary stick thrown by Kampot into the snow ant colony is mainly used for lighting. The temperature is very high when burning, and the high temperature of instant combustion can reach more than 2,900 degrees, which is enough to melt steel. However, the range of burning is very limited and not enough to pose a threat to the ant colony.
The Burning Stick is mainly used for cave exploration. Even in the absence of oxygen in the water, it can still burn, and the brightness can reach a kilometer. And in the absence of matches or lighters in the field, this incendiary stick can also be used as a tool for making fires.
As long as you find a piece of tissue paper to make a ball, make a nest in the middle of the paper ball, use a knife to gently scrape off some magnesium powder on the burning rod in the paper nest, so that the scraped magnesium powder gathers into a small pile at the bottom of the paper nest, tilt the magnesium rod on the burning stick close to the magnesium powder, and quickly scrape the magnesium rod with a knife, and the spark generated by it can ignite the paper ball instantly, which is an important tool for making fire in the wild, and also an important tool for lighting, signaling, and calling for help.
It's not a problem to burn dozens of snow ants with this incendiary stick, but for this river-like colony, a vote is the same as not a vote. After waiting for two or three minutes, the snow ants did not perceive any danger and quickly moved towards the three of them.
The three of them didn't dare to stay any longer, and turned around and ran lifelessly. However, the speed at which the snow ants crawl is not comparable to that of ordinary ants, and the speed of chasing them is no less than the speed at which they run.
It is conceivable that ants that can survive in the ice and snow at an altitude of five or six thousand meters naturally have their own means of survival. And this kind of ant seems to have a certain IQ, seeing that it is difficult to gnaw on Lausanne and others when they crawl in a straight line, the ant colony shows a tendency to split, divided into two, and sandwiches the three of them from both sides, and gradually shows a tendency to wrap up.
Seeing this scene, Lausanne knew that the three of them had reached a desperate situation, and it seemed that it was difficult to fly today. Thinking of the involvement of his good brother Kampot, he couldn't help but complain: "Kampot, do you say that you are stupid, you have already escaped, why do you want to come back and die?"
