"Master Liu, how did you know where we came from? After the snowstorm last night, I felt that the surrounding mountains were different. The left and right sides were almost the same." Guo Tian looked at Liu Qian's fingers. Direction, trying hard to see where the contact station was on the mountain peak, but he could no longer tell.
Among the snowy mountains and snowfields, the most terrifying thing is to lose your way, especially when there is no sun during the day and no stars at night. After a night of snowstorms has changed the appearance of the snowy peaks, once you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, you will have no way of knowing where you are. Coming from which way, I don’t know which direction I should go next. In the end, I can only die of being trapped, starved, or frozen in the snowfield.
"Because I found this in the corner of a drawer in the communication room of the liaison station." Liu Qian took out the compass in his hand and showed it to Guo Tian.
"Master Liu..." Guo Tian didn't know what to say. He always thought that Liu Qian had some special way to identify the direction. After a long time... it was a compass.
…
After marching hard for several hours in a huge snow-covered valley, Liu Gan led everyone to a ridge ahead again, climbed to the top of the ridge and looked down.
It was different from the last time when I climbed up the ridge and looked down. This time when I climbed up the ridge and looked down, Guo Tian, Anna, Jiang Jinyuan, including Qianzhou, who had been in despair and had some distrust of Liu Qian, were still there. Zhang Mengdi, who didn't speak much and was gentle, all cheered together.
For the first time, everyone's desperate eyes showed a look of hope.
Liu Gan's experience came into play at this time. After he led the team members to stand on the ridge again, from here you could clearly see the woods below! Although there are only some treetops protruding from the snow surface in the near distance, this already means that the front may be the edge of the snowy area.
In addition, as long as you can enter the woods, you may be able to find the fruits of the trees and even hunt some animals that forage in the snowy forest. At least you don't have to worry about starving to death after the food is exhausted. These trees exposed on the snow-covered ground can be cut down and bonfires can be lit to give everyone a chance to stay warm and take a breather.
After seeing those trees, Liu Gan's next goal was to move on. Of course it's the trees, continue down the trees. Maybe we will reach places not covered by snow, where villages and towns with human life may appear.
In other words, even if there are no living humans in the entire Tundra City, as long as there are trees and vacant houses can be found, it will not be a big problem to persist in Tundra City for three months. If there is a chance, it will not be a big problem. Going to explore the polar experimental site.
Of course. Also be wary of the snow-speckled zombies that appear multiple times in their dreams, but have yet to actually appear in front of them.
I thought everything would not be that simple and easy, but at least there is hope now.
"I finally know why Mr. Liu likes exploring in the wild so much!" Guo Tian said loudly there.
"Why?" Anna asked Guo Tian cooperatively to prevent him from singing a one-man show... although he can sing very lively in a one-man show. Of course, Anna will always be interested in topics about Liu Qian.
"This feeling of surviving from a desperate situation is so refreshing! And it is surviving from a desperate situation after a struggle. There is nothing more fulfilling than this! I, Guo Tian, will definitely follow in Master Liu's footsteps in the future. , Follow Mr. Liu around the world, no, every corner of the universe!" Guo Tian said dancing.
"If you are so infatuated, I think you should have a sex change operation first." Anna teased Guo Tian.
"This doesn't seem to matter, right? Good brothers can last a lifetime." Guo Tian shook his head.
"A quilt? What do you want to do when you stay under a quilt? Have your anus fucked by Mr. Liu?" Anna had a very strange expression.
"Forget it, I'd better save some energy." Guo Tian shook his head again, with a very convinced expression on his face.
…
"Everyone, be careful." While we were marching. Liu Qian suddenly stopped and reminded everyone.
"What's wrong?" The other team members looked at Liu Gan.
"Now there is a big lake under our feet, a big frozen lake. Judging from the terrain, this lake covered a huge area before it was frozen, and it was a very dangerous lake. I heard Qianzhou and the others say that the temperature in Tundra City is It has just fallen rapidly in the past few days. Some ice surfaces are not very stable in the freezing state. Once you step on a fragile place, the ice surface will break and you will lose your footing and fall into the ice water, which will be very troublesome." Liu Gan was using a snow shovel. Shoveling around and talking to everyone.
"Fall in, that's a real ice cave..." When everyone heard Liu Gan say this, they couldn't help but shiver all over. It was already cold enough to stay on this snow-capped mountain. You can imagine what it would be like if you fell into an icy lake and your clothes and body were soaked with ice water.
No one wants to experience it.
This time Liu Gan walked in the front. All the team members are still connected together with ropes. Every time Liu Gan walks a few dozen meters, he will stop to use a snow shovel to shovel the snow on the ice to check the ice under his feet. For a large lake like this, ice usually starts from around the lake shore. The ice in the middle of the lake is relatively thin. You must find out and avoid these weak spots in order to safely cross the ice of the glacial lake.
Under the leadership of Liu Gan, everyone crossed the ice lake safely. It felt that the temperature had dropped in the past few days, and the power of the freezing was still very strong. The entire lake, including the central area, was frozen solid.
After passing the glacial lake, there is another ridge that is not too high, and then all the way to the woods below the mountain. Liu Gan taught the team members how to sit ski down the mountain, and then explored the path in front. After confirming that it was safe, the team members behind them skied down the high ridge at high speed one by one.
If they weren't worried that shouting would trigger an avalanche, all the team members would have wanted to shout loudly when they were sliding down. It felt so... sour. While the cold wind was cutting my face, it was also full of speed and passion. The words "pain and joy" are simply too appropriate to describe it.
Every time you fall a few hundred meters, the temperature around you will rise slightly. Although the rise is very small, you can feel that it is no longer as cold as the top of the mountain after you come down.
Using Liu Qian's rappelling skills, everyone slid down nearly a thousand meters before dark and arrived at the place with the trees they had seen before. When they saw these green plants, the team members couldn't help shouting excitedly. This trip to the snowy mountains was really a very strange adventure for them, which they had never experienced before in their lives. . (To be continued~^~)
