Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Avalanche

"Everyone is not allowed to talk, not even to fart." The fat man said to us in an extremely soft voice: "Everyone look for any protruding rocks or ice crevasses nearby, we are going to be in trouble." "Impossible." Lang Feng was dumbfounded: "I calculated the weight correctly..." Monk Hua covered Lang Feng's mouth, indicating that he would speak later when he had something to say.Several people were sweating coldly, looking at the top of their heads, while tiptoeing to put their equipment on their backs, looking for a place to take refuge.The snow layer above is not thick, even if there is an avalanche, it will collapse in a small area, but the place where we are standing is too bad, too close to the fracture surface, the snow tide rushes down, and we will be wrapped up easily, below It is also a steep slope with an extremely high height, and there is no place to escape.

The best way at this time is, as the fat man said, to find a protruding rock, hide under the rock, or find a crack in the ice, but this should be seen from the movie "Vertical Limit". does not work. The bare rock we are on is too flat, and it will still be directly hit by the snow if we hide under it. The fat man pointed to the huge walnut-like stone next to it. There is an angle between the bottom and the mountain rock. It should be more Suitable. The snow slope between us and the rock is gone, and the rest is the ice surface of the glacier, which is terribly slippery. There is no time to change the skates at this time, so let's bite the bullet.The fat man tied the rope around his waist and gave us one end, and he gritted his teeth and stepped on the ice.

One step, two steps, three steps, every time I take a step, I feel like stepping on an egg, and I am waiting for the "click" sound of the egg yolk splashing.But the fat man always impresses people from time to time. After three steps, he has climbed steadily on the opposite rock, pulled the rope in his waist, looked at the top of his head, and beckoned us to go over. The few of us pulled the rope, first Pan Zi and Poker Fing, then Lang Feng who was carrying Chen Pi Asi, then Ye Cheng who was carrying Shun Zi, and I was the last.Seeing that they passed away safely, I felt a lot more at ease.At this moment, a snow block as big as a watermelon had already fallen on it, and the snow crack could no longer support it, the fat man waved his hand to make me hurry up.

I patted my face, tied the other end of the rope around my waist, stepped on the first foot, and stood firmly. I have had poor balance since I was a child, and I had to fall and get bruised all over my body to learn how to skate and ride a bike.At this moment, I was even more panicked, I just felt that the ice surface under my feet seemed to disappear at any time, and my feet began to tremble involuntarily. The fat man knew at a glance that I was the most difficult thing to deal with, and said in a low voice: "Don't think so much, it's only two steps, you can just jump over."

I looked at the distance from the fat man to me.Sure enough, as long as you can fully exert your strength, you can definitely jump over.Thinking that as soon as I gritted my teeth, I stepped forward and twisted my waist, trying to jump up. But what I didn't expect was that when I tried hard, my feet suddenly sank, and the piece of ice I stepped on was shattered because too many people stepped on it just now.My foot slipped on the slope, and then my whole body slipped down. I scratched around with my hands and feet, but there was nowhere on the ice to put my strength on. I fell directly to the tight rope and hung on the ice cliff. I heard the carabiner click. , Seeing that the body is about to be unhooked.

I cursed in my heart, this damn Xibei product must have been produced voluntarily! When the fat man pulled me, I was almost dragged down from the rock. Fortunately, Pan Zi grabbed his waistband, and several people grabbed him. They pulled the rope hard and pulled me up. But every time I pulled it, the rope would loosen. I was so anxious that I wanted to step on a place with my feet and fasten the buttons again, but the ice was so slippery that I could only step on it for a few seconds before sliding down. Seeing that the button was about to come off, in desperation, I pulled out the climbing pick, knocked hard on the ice cliff, and firmly fixed it inside.Then I stepped on my left foot and found a place to support. I hurriedly lowered my head to change the carabiner, but before it was dead, a strange vibration came from the top of my head.

When I looked up, I saw a few people above looking at me with idiotic eyes.Before I could react to what was going on, all of a sudden, a white snow fog exploded into the air, almost blocking my entire field of vision. Avalanche! There was no scream, no time to be surprised, I didn't know what I was thinking at that moment, I only heard the fat man yelled from the side: "Grab the climbing pick! Stick to the ice!" It was completely black, my body sank suddenly, it seemed that suddenly a dozen people grabbed all my clothes and pulled them down violently, the rope at the waist immediately buckled into my flesh, and then a lot of snow gas choked into me lungs.

Then, I fell into chaos, the huge momentum hit every part of my body, I couldn't even lift my head, and soon my throat began to tighten, and the extreme suffocation came from my lungs, I I just felt like I was thrown into a sugar-fried chestnut machine. Countless cold things piled up on me from all directions and hit me. In an instant, my nose and mouth were full of the smell of snow foam. Only then did I remember that ice is an excellent shock conductor, especially the extremely thick ice, which has extremely strong resonance. The pickaxe just now finally catalyzed the formation of an avalanche.

I almost wanted to slap myself, but regret was useless at this point, my whole body was spun around like a top, I wanted to grab the climbing pick, but I couldn't even feel where my hand was. Just when my mind was confused and I didn't know what to do, suddenly, I felt that the rope was lifted up by someone, and then my body was pulled up a little bit. I was startled, it was Fatty and they were pulling me at the other end, I suddenly felt hopeful, the rope could still respond, which meant that the amount of snow falling from the avalanche was not very thick, and their strength could still be transmitted to me.

I hurriedly pulled the snow stream around me vigorously, and drilled my body up. After a few staggers, with the help of the rope, my ears suddenly roared, and my eyes lit up, protruding from the surface of the snow stream. Fatty and the others hid under the corner of the rocks on one side. The snow flow rushed over the rocks and formed a snow waterfall in front of them. They were all safe and sound.Fatty and Lang Feng pulled the rope, saw me being pulled out, yelled, and asked me, "Are you okay?" I panted heavily, and nodded. On one side, the snow and fog were still falling on my head. I pulled the rope vigorously, and started to approach them against the snow flow.But the snow flow was so powerful that I couldn't stand up at all, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move half a cent. The fat man had to pull me and wait for the snow flow to pass.

The avalanche came and went quickly. In less than half a minute, the snow flow poured past me, leaving only a lot of broken snow.I looked down, and the whole valley under my feet was shrouded in white mist. I couldn't help being afraid, I was about to be rushed down, and there was no life left now. I was pulled under the rock, and several people were panting with lingering fear.The fat man patted me and said, "You're really lucky, luckily it's just a landslide and there's not much snow. Otherwise, it's not just you this time, I guess I'll have to tear it down for you too." I didn't know what expression I had, my hiking cap was off, my ears were red with cold, and I couldn't hear anything clearly, so I patted him and turned to look at the surface of the glacier on one side. The entire snow slope has all poured down to the bottom of the valley, and a huge steep slope glacier is exposed in front of us, with broken snow rolling down from it from time to time, reminding us that there is still the danger of a second avalanche. The surface of the glacier is formed from the snow under the pressure of the millennium snow layer, which is what we often call "gravity ice".This kind of ice is naturally formed. In high-altitude mountainous areas, it will wrap the entire mountain to form glaciers. It is generally found on snow-capped mountains. It is between the snow layer and the mountain, and it is not too thick.There is also a lot of crushed snow on top of the ice. Except for Fatty, we have never seen an actual glacier. In the snow-capped mountain valley, seeing such a huge ice cliff exposed, under the shining of the setting sun, it looks like a giant carved super-energy soap. We are a little crazy when we see such shocking things. Ye Cheng murmured on the side: "Lang Da's gunshots are not without results." After watching for a while, everyone gradually came to their senses.Monk Hua lit up a few flashlights and shone them down into the ice, trying to find traces of the funeral tomb.The inside is chaotic and bottomless, and the thickness of ordinary snow-capped glaciers is only about 10 to 20 meters. The thickness of this glacier seems to be a bit abnormal. The fat man's eyes were very poisonous. At this time, he suddenly let out a cry, as if he had discovered something, and grabbed the flashlight from Monk Hua to take a photo. We struggled to look along his flashlight. Under the penetration of the weak flashlight light, I saw a huge shadow that was looming in the dark blue translucent depths of the glacier in the direction of the fat man's light. Halfway up the ice cliff, looking at the shape, it looks like a curled up baby with a big head.
