Rumble...
Like a large formation of chariots passing by, with the ear-splitting roar, those who could not escape and the mantis monster were like a broken boat in a sea storm, rolling aimlessly in the snow waves, and then Disappeared in the subsequent snow waves.
In just an instant, everything was covered in ice and snow.
...
The cold wind howled, and the vast snowy slopes were a mess as far as the eye could see.
puff!
A hand suddenly broke through the snow, and the heavy snow on his back was pushed away by Mr. Li.
Next, there was Grandpa.
The two worked together to dig out the unconscious man Chen Ze from the snow.
In other directions, other people who had escaped the disaster also stumbled out of the snow.
Everyone gasped and breathed greedily, thankful that they had escaped from the hands of the Lord of Hell.
But some people are not so lucky.
After a cursory glance, there were a few fewer people in the queue.
Looking at the vast snow around them, no one felt happy about surviving the disaster. Everyone's face was filled with heaviness and exhaustion.
"Life and death have their own destiny." Huo Yuanshan said coldly. "If it hadn't been for this avalanche, we would all have died at the hands of those monsters."
"Okay, stop dragging your feet. If you don't find a place quickly, I will freeze to death here." Hong Laojiu patted the snow in his hat and shouted that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after stroking his body for a long time, he couldn't. Nothing was found.
"What a damn bad luck!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, if we survive the catastrophe, we will be blessed later." Peng Jinsheng touched his goatee. Behind him, the honest disciple Liang Wencai was helping him clean the snow on his body.
At this time, the sun was about to set, the glow dyed half of the sky red, the snow reflected the orange sunlight, and the whole world seemed to be inlaid with a layer of gold.
From time to time, the snow powder was blown away by the cold wind, and scattered into the air, with little golden lights shining in it.
No one spoke, they just moved forward in silence, because they had no time to appreciate the touching wonders of the snow-capped mountains.
When the sun goes down, people on snowy mountains will face the danger of low temperatures.
The worst thing you can do at this point is keep walking so that your body sweats to maintain its temperature.
As the sweat evaporates, your body temperature will get lower and lower. By that time, the only thing waiting for you is to freeze to death.
The cold wind was still blowing all around, which was not a good sign.
The environment above the snow-capped mountains is changeable and unpredictable. At least based on the current situation, there is a high possibility of a storm at night.
Everyone had no time to look for a shelter, so they could only find the most leeward slope to dig a snow cave.
Mr. Li said that when digging a snow cave in a snow-capped mountain, you must choose a leeward slope so that the wind cannot blow you and provide good shelter.
And digging holes on slopes is much easier than on flat ground.
In the end, the snow hole should not be dug too big, otherwise it will waste the heat generated by the bodies of the four teams. It should not be too small, because when you lie in the snow, the snow hole will gradually shrink. If it is too small, it will be easy to be buried alive by the snow.
The best size is about three times the size of your body.
Someone was once trapped on a snow-capped mountain for four days, and it was only in a snow cave that he didn't freeze to death.
Sure enough, after dark, the wind and snow increased sharply. Mr. Li and the others hid in the snow cave, and the surroundings were as cold as an ice cellar.
The snow blocks originally used to cover the entrance of the cave were gradually covered by layers of snow.
The storm is coming.
Mr. Li and his grandfather hid in the dug snow cave and ate dry food in fear. The water in the kettle had long been frozen into ice lumps.
Under such extreme conditions, it was difficult for people to sleep. The three people huddled together and spent the night with difficulty.
The next day, everyone came out through the snow.
Huoyuan Mountain stands high on the hillside, with the vast snow-capped mountains in front of you. The bare ridges are exposed, and it seems that only black and white are left in the sky and the earth.
Everyone faced the biting cold wind, their faces turned black and purple from the cold.
Compared with the vast snow-capped mountains around them, people are like ants, squirming little by little in the snow.
This place is completely far away from everything, and the survival rate of life in this place is almost zero.
After a long trek, some people in the team began to suffer from varying degrees of snow blindness. The equipment on their bodies was as heavy as a mountain, and no one spoke.
"How much longer do we have to go?"
On the fourth day, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"It's almost over." Huo Yuanshan's voice was still cold, as cold as the cold wind around him.
Not long after, the team encountered another storm.
This storm was even more terrifying than the last one. The wind and snow blew on people's faces like knives, and they were so cold that they lost consciousness in their hands and feet.
Fortunately, they found a crack in the mountain.
The cracks formed naturally, and there was a thick layer of snow in the corners of the cave wall and on the ground. The inside was big enough to accommodate all of them, and became narrower as it went up, as if someone had smashed an upside-down gap in the rocky mountain.
"I said the surname is Huo, how long will this special girl have to go?" Hong Laojiu's hands turned purple from the cold, and he finally took out a cigarette from his waist, "If this continues, I will freeze to death!"
Huo Yuanshan didn't answer, he just looked at the howling wind and snow outside, and no one could see his expression.
Seeing that Huo Yuanshan remained silent, Hong Laojiu lost his temper and cursed as he walked towards Huo Yuanshan, but was stopped by his men.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, please be patient, Red Donor. The map is in the hands of Master Huo. We won't go wrong." Peng Jinsheng touched his goatee, but glanced at Huo Yuanshan at the entrance of the cave without trace.
"Then what do you think we're going to do next?" Hong Laojiu raised his head upright, his eyes widened, "You're a fake, the map is in his hand, our lives are also in his hand, there's so much Damn it, it’s just snow, I’ve lost so many brothers, I’m not here to visit the ski resort.”
...
"Come and see!" Mr. Li ignored the noise over there and searched everything in the cave with Chen Ze from the moment he entered.
Sure enough, he discovered something.
It was a cowhide boot, most of it buried in the snow, with only the sole exposed.
Chen Ze dug a few times with a shovel. He planned to dig out the boot and take a look. Unexpectedly, his expression suddenly changed as soon as the shovel went down.
"It's a person!"
Soon, the snow was cleared, and there was a corpse in the snow pit.
It was a foreign man in military uniform, and he died not long ago. The body was well preserved in the ice and snow.
The man's back was leaning against the rock wall, his skin was white from the cold, his brown hair was stuck tightly to his scalp, one hand was tightly grasped on his chest, and only half of his other arm was left, still wrapped with gauze. .
His mouth was slightly open, his expression was a little horrified and twisted, and his two eyes were staring blankly ahead. Although he had been dead for a long time, it still made people feel a little chilly.
"Germans?" Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the Nazi symbol on the corpse's uniform.
At that time, it had only been more than ten years since the end of World War II, but no one could figure out how there could be a corpse of a German Nazi deep in the snowy mountains far away from everything.
Grandpa opened the rigor mortis' hand and found that he was holding a cross in his hand.
Mr. Li noticed that there was an obvious scratch on the back of the cross, which was carved on it with a knife.
"This is a Protestant cross. There is no Jesus on it. Before World War II, two-thirds of the people in Germany believed in Protestantism." Chu Yuxuan said.
"It's weird, why is this German devil here?" Hong Laojiu cursed and glanced at the corpse on the ground, "It's really ugly to die!"
"Master, come and see!" Boy Chen Ze called out again.
Not far from the corpse, he dug out another Nazi corpse from the snow, its body twisted and huddled under the stone wall.
Soon, corpses were discovered one after another. In this deep crack, there were actually thirteen such Nazi corpses.
At that time, it was only a few years before the end of World War II, but during the war, the Germans' main battlefields were in Europe and Soviet Russia, and they did not invade China. How could such a Nazi army suddenly appear here?
The strange thing is that all the corpses have no wounds on their bodies, their clothes are not damaged, their weapons and ammunition are sufficient, and traces of fires are also found around the corpses.
Although there were several corpses wrapped in bandages, they were not fatally wounded.
Someone dug out the backpack they were carrying, which contained a lot of military cans, compressed biscuits, and even various emergency medicines.
"Something's wrong." Mr. Li took a few steps back and looked back and forth at the corpses on the ground. "These people are well equipped and have sufficient supplies. How could they die here?"
"There are no external injuries, and it doesn't look like poisoning..." Chu Yuxuan checked one of the corpses. "Their expressions were horrified, as if they had experienced something extremely terrifying before they died."
"What are they looking at?" Grandpa bent down and looked in the direction of the corpse.
All the corpses have their eyes facing the same direction.
Wherever he looked, he was Huo Yuanshan.
"Why are they all looking at Shopkeeper Huo?" Liang Wencai said naively.
"You idiot, stop talking nonsense!" Peng Jinsheng glared at Liang Wencai, who was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.
"It's not Mr. Huo's house, it's..." Grandpa pointed, "It's outside."
Outside the cave, the cold wind howled. Although the storm was much weaker than before, it was still very strong and the visibility was less than ten meters.
Everyone was a little puzzled. They looked back at the corpses. Their horrified and twisted faces were staring directly at everyone. In this ice and snow, they looked even more eerie and strange.
"You're suspicious, this girl is all snow stubble, what can she do?" Hong Laojiu said while rubbing his hands. "Damn it, forget it, I'm going to starve to death. I think those German devils still have a lot of good stuff in their bags. Let me share some!"
He picked up the submachine gun from a corpse and clicked it a few times. "The German devil's Schmeisser is a good thing. I got a handful from a foreign devil a few years ago. It's a pity that I lost it." lost. "
Immediately, another iron box was dug out of the corpse's backpack.
The can had already been frozen into lumps. Hong Laojiu used a lot of effort to pry it open with a dagger and smelled it. "I haven't opened the meat for several days. Let's try this little German canned meat today!"
After all the twists and turns, the team actually had very few supplies left. Everyone searched out all the corpse's equipment, and someone lit a fire on the ground and burned the cans and compressed biscuits into a large pot of meat paste.
Under such extremely cold conditions, it is extremely difficult to eat a meat meal.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone's strength has recovered a lot, their spirits are high, and their previous fatigue has been swept away.
Mr. Li noticed that Grandpa's expression was unnatural. From the beginning to the end, Grandpa's eyes kept scanning the corpses.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Li asked.
"I have a bad feeling." Grandpa got up and walked to the entrance of the cave.
The wind and snow were still howling outside. Grandpa looked at the darkness in the distance and said nothing for a long time.
At this moment, the clerk Chen Ze came over cautiously, glanced around, and then whispered:
"Master, I got something!"
