Chapter 515: Whiteness
"Don't panic when something happens to you, listen to me and stay calm. No matter how difficult it is, we can get out of this snow mountain and walk down the mountain safely." Liu Gan explained a few more words to the team members.
"That's right! Follow Master Liu, this little difficulty is nothing. Last time we were trapped in the jungle, Master Liu led us to defeat the big bear and escape from it smoothly." Jiang Jinyuan stood aside Added a few words.
Seeing Liu Qian's confidence, the other team members didn't feel how scary this snow mountain was. The mental state of a team is mostly determined by the mental state of the team leader. If the leader is at a loss at this time, the team members will definitely fall into despair. On the contrary, the leader is full of confidence at all times, and the team members will not despair no matter how tired they are.
The thrilling scene of the ice crevasse just now exhausted everyone's physical strength a bit, and they needed physical support to cross the ice crevasse, so everyone sat on the spot and rested for a while.
"Master Liu, if it wasn't for your help, if I was the only one dragging a rock behind me, I wouldn't be able to climb up like this!" Guo Tian recalled what happened just now, and asked Liu Gan with lingering fear I asked again.
"If there is no team and you are the only one trapped in the ice crevasse, it is really difficult for you to climb back to the ground with that rope alone. If you have another rope in your hand at this time, make a noose to wrap it around. On the top of the knot, put your feet on the noose, and you can use your strength to straighten your body, so that you can grab the knot on the top and climb back alternately." Liu Gan taught Guo Tian his experience in this area.
"It seems that in any desperate situation, as long as you think of a way, you can get out of it! Master Liu is really smart." Guo Tian now admires Liu Qian even more in his heart.
"It's not that I'm extremely smart. What I'm talking about is the experience summed up by the predecessors. I just looked it up and wrote it down." Liu Gan shook his head.
"Do you feel that we are being followed by something?" Anna looked around, and raised it to everyone with some anxiety.
"Is someone following us?" The other team members seemed a little at a loss.
"It's not a person, it's something... unknown and terrifying." Anna looked in the direction of the contact station, her expression a little confused.
"That's just an illusion formed after you were too cold. Everyone, take a rest as soon as possible, and let's go on the road as soon as we recover." Liu Qian winked and stopped Anna from continuing, so as not to cause panic in the team.
Actually this way. Liu Qian also felt that something was watching and following them, and he had a strong premonition of danger. This was also the reason why he kept urging the team forward, but it was better not to say this in public. He will discuss this matter with Anna alone when he has a chance.
Judging from the situation of the nightmare last night, it seems that only he and Anna were involved, and the others were completely unaware. In this case, let them continue to be unaware.
Anna also realized something after being stopped by Liu Gan. He quickly shut up and didn't say anything else, but occasionally, when others were not paying attention, he glanced at the direction where she felt panic.
"Master Liu, shall we move on? Shall we go there?" Guo Tian asked Liu Qian after resting, and he was eager to lead the way again.
"Go to the high ridge over there. After we go up, we can condescendingly choose the route down the mountain. If we can find a direction where there is no snow and the woods on the land are exposed, we will be out of trouble." Liu Gan looked around. Then he answered Guo Tian.
The biggest problem now is that there are vast snow peaks everywhere, and there is not even a single rock or tree exposed to the snow. Finding food in such an environment would be a big problem, and it would be impossible to find wood for a fire.
If you want to get out of the snow-capped mountains, you have to try your best to go to places without snow, such as the forest trees exposed in the snow field. The places with trees mean food and wood, and the problems of eating and heating are solved together.
After carefully circumventing the ice crevasse that had fallen earlier, it was still Guo Tian who led the way and climbed over to the ridge that Liu Gan had mentioned. After passing through the ice crevice, the snow under everyone's feet became softer. It was all accumulated here by the storm in the past few days, which made it very difficult for everyone to walk. Every foot is deep in the snow, and you have to work hard to pull it out before you can take the next step.
And the current altitude is still about 3,000 meters. I don’t feel it when I sit quietly in the contact station, but I walk with all my strength when I come out. All the team members had the symptoms of altitude sickness, and the thin air made it difficult to breathe. If you still struggle to move forward with difficulty in breathing, you will have a splitting headache, and you really want to lie down and sleep on the spot.
But Liu Gan's driving became more and more severe. Jiang Jinyuan, Anna, and Guo Tian were obedient and desperately moving forward, and Qian Zhou and Zhang Mengdi couldn't say anything. He could only do his best to follow the crowd, but one could imagine the consequences of not being able to keep up with the team and being left here.
The snow peak in the distance seems very close, but when you walk, you can’t get there. An hour ago, it seemed to be so far away. After an hour, it is still so far away. As I walked, I couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
"When we get to the mountain ahead, can we really find a way to go down the mountain? Can we have hot water to take a bath at the bottom of the mountain tonight?" Qianzhou couldn't help but asked Anna beside him over and over again.
"Master Liu said yes, so he will. Don't doubt Master Liu's decision at any time." Anna answered the same every time.
...
Under Liu Gan's constant urging, they walked for an hour or half an hour and took a short breather for a few minutes. After more than four hours, everyone finally climbed up the ridge that Liu Gan mentioned was more than 100 meters higher than the nearby terrain.
Everyone stood on the highest point of the ridge with hope, hoping to find some traces of survival, such as exposed rocks, big trees sticking out of the snow, or lucky enough to find small villages and small towns where people live.
But the reality is very cruel. On the high ridges, there is only a growing mountain wind, which makes people feel cold in their bones. Then at a glance, nothing can be seen in the surroundings except for the white snowfield and snow peaks. This kind of whiteness seems to be very beautiful, but it is a kind of beauty of death, so beautiful that it makes people extremely desperate.
Even if he could see a few trees, Liu Gan would be able to find the next target, but unfortunately there was really nothing, which made Liu Gan himself start to doubt. (~^~)
