Vault 32

Chapter 185 Landmines
The heavy snow fell slowly in the sky like a goose feather, adding a bit of affection to the soft snow layer on the ground.But in a mountain range, the top of the mountain looks no different from the surrounding ones. Some kind of weirdness makes many birds who have not migrated panic, fluttering their wings and fleeing in the snow, as if there is something terrible. Something that is about to rush out of the white snow layer.

The predictive ability of animals is undoubtedly their survival instinct. After these birds flew for a few seconds, the weird sound appeared behind the white snow layer on the rock wall.Before he could react, the seemingly ordinary snow layer protruded outward in an instant, and at the same time, two bright silver figures were roaring and rolling up the snowflakes behind them, bringing the engine and exhaust pipe together. With a roar, it quickly rushed towards the hillside below.

Liszt's eyes looked through the windshield, looking at the heavy snow falling in front of him, and he couldn't help narrowing his eyes slowly.The burning sensation in his stomach continued, bringing warmth to his whole body. Although the taste of vodka was cold, it was indeed a good warming thing after drinking it.And he still twisted the handlebar vigorously to accelerate, and at the same time turned his head and said loudly to Carl behind him: "If nothing happens, maybe we can reach Kitimat town in four hours!"

"Four hours? Captain Liszt, I have to explain. Based on the current weather and road conditions, I think it takes us five hours to see the edge of Kitimat Town, which is already pretty good!"

Sitting in the rear driver, Karl, who was also wearing bulky winter clothes, also had a certain helplessness on his face.The eyes under the goggles looked ahead, and the heavy snow that almost dyed the whole world white had already obstructed his vision.But Karl still had a wry smile on his face. Sitting behind Liszt, he couldn't help but patted his shoulder and said loudly: "The heavy snow that just fell is also a test for our snowmobiles! "

Although the snowmobile is a mobility artifact for snow combat, the skis installed under it are still designed according to the hard snow layer. The heavy snow that has just fallen for three days has already covered the original snow. The hard snow layer left behind only this soft snow layer that couldn't hold up at all, but for snowmobiles, one had to be more cautious.

Although the soft snow layer can bury the chaotic rocks and grooming, it also obscures the driver's sight. Once they misjudge that the snow in front of them is an excellent passage, if they encounter grooming or even chaotic rocks, the whole person will be paralyzed. It's simply not too shameful to throw a dog and eat shit.

However, along the way, Liszt, who was in charge of clearing the road ahead, did not find so many tree stumps and rocks. He slammed down the accelerator on the handle, and with the ear-piercing roar, everything rushed forward.And just behind him, another snowmobile followed closely behind him about ten meters away, advancing along his route.

This is a mountainous area, not to mention there is such a heavy snow, the journey usually takes less than two hours, but now it takes five hours to arrive safely.And this is why they have snowmobiles. If they still walk or rely on other tools to move forward, I am afraid that it will be a gift from God to reach the vicinity of Kitimat town in one day and one night.

Although the heavy snow fell slowly, the speeding snowmobile turned the snow into a heavy snowfall.The situation of more than four hours passed quite quickly, even a layer of white snowflakes had accumulated on Liszt's body, which looked like a rock in winter, not eye-catching at all.

This investigation is still very important. Liszt and the others are all wearing white winter combat uniforms, and at the same time, a white camouflage cloth is installed behind them. As long as part of the belt is untied, there is enough camouflage cloth behind the body to cover the whole body. They have become the best cover in this white snow field.

"We seem to be near the town of Kitimat!"

Liszt was still twisting the accelerator subconsciously, and the snowmobile under him also made some hoarse and strange noises due to the long-term situation.But Karl behind him raised his head slightly, wiped the frost on the windshield, and looked at the surrounding mountains that seemed to be quite familiar ups and downs, and then suddenly realized that he patted Liszt in front of him vigorously, and said loudly: "Is there any more?" Ten minutes away, we can directly see the houses in Kitimat Town!"

"Is it finally here?" Liszt in front of him slowly relaxed his cheering hand, a chill had almost enveloped his body and mind, he exhaled a breath of white mist slowly, his gaze was also frozen by the cold wind on the goggles It was a little fuzzy, but he wiped it off lightly, his brows slightly relaxed, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's finally here!"

Along the way, although the main driver and the co-pilot of the two snowmobiles were turning on the snowmobiles in turn, facing the cold weather of minus [-] degrees, they still felt the warmth of winter while moving at this high speed. Full of malice.Gradually stopping his advancing snowmobile, Liszt turned his head and looked at the marines behind him who were still following, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Perhaps our snowmobile is really not suitable for long-distance raids."

"I agree, Captain Lister."

The snowmobile approached and was almost at the same level as Liszt, but the marine soldier who had been frozen like a stone stared at the red eye circles, and quickly took out the small wine bottle from his arms. pot.He unscrewed the spout three times and twice, and suddenly took a big gulp of the cold vodka in it, feeling the heat that seemed to burn even his esophagus, and then nodded to Liszt with a wry smile: "That's it!" The whole journey was simply too uncomfortable, and now I can't even feel my legs, whether they belong to me or not!"

He patted his thigh helplessly, and after stopping the snowmobile, he couldn't help turning over and jumping off.The soft snow covered his calf directly, and this young man from the Marine Corps walked a few laps in the same place without caring, and at the same time walked towards the gap in the forest not far away, but there was a crisp sound, But as he stepped on it, it appeared next to his ear, causing his expression to change. He raised his left hand instantly, gritted his teeth and said in surprise: "It's a mine, damn it, be careful, this is a Canadian minefield." !"
