Chapter 37 Tang Tao’s Diary

Black notes! Zhang Li seemed to remember something, and with a nervous mood, he opened the cover of the notes.

Two lines of clear Chinese and English double-row text jumped into his eyes: "My name is Tang Tao. If anyone finds this note from my body, please follow the contact information below..." Zhang Li suddenly closed the notebook, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

It was here... I found Tang Tao's diary here.

Return to the west wind belt

Outside the rift, the ridges were interrupted on the outside of the westerly wind belt, and the fracture was neatly cut like a knife.

Zhang Li raised his hand to explore the wind, but his hand stretched out seemed to be hit by a speeding car, which suddenly changed to sagging, almost causing Zhang Li to spin and fall to the ground.

Yue Yang quickly dragged Zhang Li back to the cross section of the ridge and asked nervously: "How is it?"

Zhang Li looked at Captain Huyang and said in confusion: "Strangely, when we came, the west wind pushed us towards the snow pile. Now, it seems to be blowing towards the direction of the ice rift valley, but there is still a gravitational force from west to east."

Captain Hupo’s hands rotated and said, “Yes, the rotation of this inverted dragon is like a drum washing machine. It sometimes rotates clockwise, and sometimes suddenly changes direction by 180 degrees, and rotates counterclockwise. The chances of the two rotations account for 50% each. How it was formed is not yet determined.

But no matter how it rotates, the gravity in its center is from west to east, and the wind is slightly relieved when it changes direction. The turbulence we encounter when we go up the mountain is caused by its sudden change direction."

Captain Hupo’s captain turned around and looked at the team members with unkempt and snow on his clothes and said, “Now, what we have to do is the same as when we came. Everyone tied them together and retreated to the cracked ice zone step by step. Since our ropes are not enough, everyone must pick up the ice axes and steel brazers, and make sure that every step is nailed to the frozen soil so that the entire team will not be blown away by the wind.

If anyone—" he paused, then continued, "I can't support being blown up by the wind, then you can choose to break the rope yourself, don't implicate everyone to die! I will walk in the middle of the team. If anyone can't do it, I will personally cut the rope for him! I tell you, I will never show mercy! In order to protect the lives of more people, that will be my last choice! So, I hope that before you take a step, you have already thought about your next destiny!"

After listening to Captain Hu Yang's words, Zhang Li and Yue Yang looked at each other. If Master Qiangba was still there, he would not have issued such an order.

Master Jomba, he will never give up anyone who travels with him. Even if it is an enemy, he will reach out to pull him in a critical moment. That is determined by his different attitude towards life, that is their Master Jomba.

"It's not time to give up your life, my special soldier!"

"No matter how painful it hurts, don't let it go!"

"Shut up! Don't think about it anymore. I will not let go unless we both fall down together..." Young Master Qiangba's former words echoed in his ears. The tall figure, facing the boundless darkness and the desperate situation where he could not see any hope, whistling to the sky: "I will not give up!"

It was that kind of power that made them struggle out of the God of Death again and again and come to this day.

Sometimes Zhang Li thinks that Master Qiangba is really stupid or stupid, but it is just that kind of persistence that makes people willingly follow him, which is a power that can create miracles.

Now, has that power disappeared with the disappearance of Master Jomba?

Looking at Zhang Li and Yue Yang's slightly confused gaze, Captain Hu Yang added: "The same thing, when you leave the team, if you are still alive, please send a signal and we will definitely find you.

Kind the rope..." The captain with extreme experience clearly knew that sometimes, a word that brings people hope, even if it is just a short promise, can become people's courage to persevere in desperate situations.

The parallel knots they use are connected to the main rope, but if each person breaks between the main rope, it will not affect the main rope and others.

Captain Huyang walked in the middle of the team, with the Mage Yara heading and the ending of Basan so that he could handle emergencies at any time.

Each person had an ice axe in his right hand and a steel chisel in his left hand, almost crawling towards the west wind belt.

Yueyang and Zhang Li were sandwiched between Master Yara and Captain Huyang. The two always missed the time when Master Jomba was there. They decided to imitate Master Jomba's perseverance and quietly tied their seat belts together with the belief of living and dying together.

Although the fog is everywhere, you won’t lose your direction in the westerly wind belt, because it is almost the west wind that pulls you and pulls you in one direction, and you can’t even do it if you want to deviate from the direction.

The storm was colder than ice and snow. The team formed by seven people was like a twisted scar on frozen soil, firmly catching the frozen soil.

Climbing hard in the strong wind, the violent wind can blow people's bodies into unconsciousness, and even the team members themselves don't know how they took them through the westerly wind this time.

Just facing Xifeng's back, it was as hard as a washboard, and everyone felt that they had lost their back body.

Captain Hupo’s captain shouted loudly: “The ice stains on the ground are beginning to increase, and the wind of the westerly wind is gradually decreasing. We have passed the core wind belt. If we work harder, we will almost reach the cracked ice area!”

Zhang Li held an ice axe in his hand and faced the frozen soil. The pressure on his head did decrease, but undoubtedly, if he relaxed a little, he would rise with the wind. When he rode the wind westward, he felt that the joint between the bones of his hands was almost torn off.

Yes, they did pass through the core wind zone of the westerly wind zone, but what was that process: pull up the steel brazing with his left hand, retreated 30 cm, inserted heavily, kicked the frozen soil in the posture of the sprinter starting, and then looked at the slots left by the person in front of the frozen soil with his eyes - those places cannot be inserted twice and are easy to loosen - then shook the ice axe with his right hand, and raised it quickly, smashed it with a heavy hammer, fixing the body, so that the body retreated 30 cm; after one person behind did it, he notified the person in front to slowly retreat one after another, and must stick to the ground tightly, otherwise it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Then the same action was repeated...

It took less than five hundred meters to get away, and it took almost two hours. The last bit of power was exhausted. The ice cracked area behind me seemed not far away. How long would it take to get there?

Captain Huyang turned his head with difficulty and inspired everyone, "No problem, my team members! You can all do it! Hold on to me one by one! I have seen the edge of the ice cliff! Don't let go of the last fifty meters!"

When he said this, Captain Huyang's muscles and bones were broken in an inch, and he was so painful that he couldn't even speak straight.

He knew that everyone's body was probably beaten to pieces by flying stones, and the ice layer on the ground gradually became thicker, which was also a severe test for them.

Yue Yang's left arm was rubbed by a huge rock about one meter high. Although he was wrapped in thick clothes, he still felt that his arms were out of control and the steel drill was not deep in the soil. It slipped out several times, but only the ice axe on his right hand supported it.

He originally planned to be a deserter, but he tried to cut off the seat belt between himself and Zhang Li several times, but Zhang Li stared back fiercely. He didn't know how he persevered. He remembered the attitude of Master Junba's swearing not to bow his head, and he was determined to persevere.

"Thirty meters left!"

"Twenty meters left!"

"Fifteen meters left!"

Captain Huyang doesn't rely on data to motivate everyone.

As long as they slide down the steep ice cliff, they will no longer be disturbed by the westerly wind. The terrible ice cracking area can be said to be the paradise closest to the westerly wind belt.

Every time Yue Yang raised his left hand, he felt extremely heavy. He struggled and said, "Captain Hu! Why is your last fifteen meters longer than the thirty meters in front?

There will be no problem with your vision, right?"

Captain Huyang cursed: "Don't waste your energy talking, just back me up! Damn, this ghost wind, I really can't believe that today will be the sunniest day on this mountain!"

At this moment, Zhang Li suddenly said, "I'm sorry, let's go first!"

It turned out that after his ice axe was inserted into the ice layer, his strength was not as strong as the frozen soil layer. When the westerly wind ripped it, the ice axe suddenly shattered the ice-breaking piece.

Zhang Li only felt a great force lifting his right hand up, and then someone pulled his right arm and pulled it hard. The entire person lying on the ice rose up little by little, and the huge pulling force quickly passed to Yueyang and Master Yara.

Seeing that he was about to leave the ground, his first reaction was to cut off the connection with Yueyang. Unexpectedly, Yueyang suddenly stood up from the ice surface. With a wave of the blade, he had already disconnected himself from the main rope.

Zhang Li smiled bitterly and broke the connection with the main rope. Neither of them had time to say anything. It was like a pair of hammers thrown by a catapult. It instantly flew over ten meters, fell straight towards the direction of the ice cliff, and disappeared into the fog.

Captain Huyang shouted in the direction where the two disappeared: "You two foul balls! You are only five meters away!"

Cold! Only this feeling remains in the world.

I don’t know how long I stayed in the narrow cracks, but the wind outside did not decrease at all. The coldness in the world made the limbs stiff, the skin numb, the corners of the mouth were dry and cracked, and there was no equipment for warming and keeping the cold. It was supported by the slight heat emitted by the body.

Zhuo Muqiangba hugged Tang Min tightly and sat parallel to Lu Jingnan. The chill seemed to freeze their ability to think. This feeling made Zhuo Muqiangba recall the first time he stepped into the territory of Kekexili, but that time it was not so cold!

Tang Min occasionally wriggled in Zhuo Muqiangba's arms, and the two of them wrapped each other in their necks. Zhuo Muqiangba put his torn clothes on the other side, wrapping Tang Min around his chest like a baby, but that's it, it still feels like that--cold!

Lu Jingnan next to him could only try to close to the rock wall, sitting like an old monk entering into meditation.

Zhuo Muqiangba thought to himself that this iron-clad woman should be able to withstand this chill more than them.

Tang Min wriggled in Zhuo Mu Qiangba's arms again, as if he was murmuring: "Johnbala, we will go out, right?"

Zhuomongba said: "Of course.

Look, it's getting dark, and at night, the fog will dissipate, which means the wind will weaken. It's time to leave, right?

Moreover, even if we can't leave, we have already installed a laser emission device outside, so Captain Huyang and his team can definitely find us.

When it fell down, I seemed to hear Captain Hupo’s saying that if we were still alive, as long as we sent a signal, they would definitely come to us.

Instructor, have you heard it?

then."

Lu Jingnan said "um" softly, and the coldness made people unable to even raise the strength to speak, as if once the words were said, they would be frozen and unable to be conveyed.

I don’t know when the conversation between the three people gradually decreased, and the intervals became longer and longer.

In fact, judging from the images taken by Master Yara and others, the wind in the night was stronger than during the day. Zhuo Muqiangba was a little worried and didn't know if he could survive this night.

But he believed that Captain Huyang and the others would definitely find him. He said in person that this was an agreement and a promise...

Zhang Li and Yue Yang knew very well that life and death were determined by lightning and lightning. This time, they might have really come to the end. When they swelled in the air and landed, it was the end of their lives.

Their heads flipped in the air with their heads looking at each other, and Yue Yang stared at Zhang Li without blinking, thinking to himself: "You are so stupid!"

Zhang Li smiled at the corner of his eyes and said, "Aren't you even more stupid?"

Below the two, the white ice tower forest was like swords, guns, swords and halberds, standing upright towards the sky. Not to mention being penetrated by them, even if they fell from this height and touched the edge wall, their muscles and bones would be broken, and death would only be even more painful.

Yue Yang looked down and raised his eyes at Zhang Li, his clear eyes.

He revealed his farewell look and clearly said: "Farewell, my comrade-in-arms, my brother."

Zhang Li nodded calmly to show his determination that he had never regretted it, and suddenly shouted like an explosion: "In the next life! Let's be brothers again!"

The two of them were turned over by the wind, and they could already see the blue sky through the fog. The stars were already hanging high in the sky, but the red sun had not yet sunset. The red glow in the sky was competing with the stars to shine.

"What a beautiful scenery. If you see it, you will be anxious to bring Miss Minmin to see it.

Master Qiangba, I will still follow you. I think there are things worth looking for in another world. It’s not even time for us to give up..." Zhang Liyouran was fascinated, without any fear or regret. She just felt her body sinking, as if she was carrying it in the air, and then her back hurt, as if it hit the wall.

Zhang Li's first intuition told himself that he seemed to be alive. When he turned his head, he saw Yue Yang with the same helpless look on his face.

A towering ice cone is mounted unbiasedly in the middle of the seat belts of two people. It is still about fifty or sixty meters away from the surface, and only the landform can be vaguely visible.

Yueyang didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, but said in a changing tone: "Hmph, it seems that God is not going to let us die yet."

Zhang Li said: "Don't be too happy too early.

This crisp icicle, the crampons cannot hold it, the steel brazing cannot be inserted, and there are no other tools, so we cannot go up and down, and slowly starve to death is even more uncomfortable than falling to death directly."

Yue Yang suddenly smiled and said, "So you are stupid. Once this belt is broken, won't we fall down?"
To be continued...
