Be a real Phoenix man

This was the moment Xie Canglin was closest to dying in his life.It is even said that he has gone to the gate of hell.

There are cold and hard snow walls on both sides, and there is only a narrow and steep road between the snow walls. When they came here, they climbed carefully and struggled to get to this place, but now, an avalanche is coming. !

The group had no hope of surviving.Before they even had time to panic and run away, everything disappeared.

Just like a sandstorm in the desert or a huge wave in the sea, it takes only a moment to destroy life.

After the avalanche, the mountain road that had been trampled out of footprints looked like a secret place that had never been visited by people, and it was safe and peaceful under the new snow cover.

Xie Canglin didn't remember the moment he felt under the pressure of Bai Xue, whether it was pain, fear, or annoyance.He only felt that the sky seemed to be dark, the night buried everything, and his consciousness gradually sank.

If he continues to sink like this, he may see the dark light of hell.

But suddenly, he felt a hand, a strong hand holding him tightly!It seems to be telling him, don't sink, don't sink.

That hand grabbed his body, like a piece of driftwood floating in the sea, possessing a great attraction.

Xie Canglin climbed onto the driftwood without hesitation, his consciousness tightened, and his eyes opened.

He didn't die, but the worried faces of Li Feihua and Tao Jun were in front of him.

"Hey, the teacher finally woke up! Great, great!" The young people are cheering, this scene is really strange, in this icy, hellish place, they can cheer and laugh Like a bunch of burning torches.

Li Feihua explained to him: "At first we thought we were doomed, but it was really a catastrophe. There was nowhere to escape, so we all gave up on ourselves. When the avalanche came, everyone was like an ant on a rope. Like grasshoppers, they were all rushed over."

Tao Jun continued his words: "But who knows that there is another village in the shadows of the willows. Because the road we walked was too narrow, the hard snowball was stuck on the edges and corners of the raised snow walls on both sides when it rushed down. , formed a natural barrier with the ground, only the floating snow on the snowball rushed down due to inertia, and gave us a shock wave, everyone was stunned, but the tough ice inside was stuck, so , we are all fine!"

"And look, teacher, this thing is fine!" Li Feihua excitedly took out the dinosaur egg from his arms, and held it up for Xie Canglin to see.

Xie Canglin's gaze was immediately attracted by this egg.

Probably because of the avalanche, the airtight box was broken during the beating, and Li Feihua took out the egg.But not only that, the snow cover on the egg quietly melted at some point, revealing the original appearance of the egg.

It is so round and beautiful, not at all like an old fossil that has experienced tens of millions of years of wind and frost.Its whole body is pure white, not as pale as snow, but with a delicate and warm color similar to suet jade.

Looking at it from his angle, he could faintly see the subtle lines inside, which were transparent and bright, really like a beautiful work of art.

Xie Canglin was helped up by Tao Jun, and he saw clearly where they were now.

Just like what the two young people said, they are now under the barrier formed between the snowball and the snow wall, which is like a natural cave, blocking the gravel and ice that are still constantly attacking downward.

I just don't know how long this barrier can resist.

Xie Canglin looked at the egg, then at Li Feihua, and frowned: "The snow cover on this thing has melted, and the airtight box is also damaged. The biological energy inside must have disappeared. I'm afraid you won't be able to study it even if you hold it back." What happened."

Li Feihua shook his head suddenly, his eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: "No, teacher! Although the sealed box is broken, the detection equipment is not broken. I just tested it. The vital signs inside have not only not weakened, but also strengthened! This egg It's alive, it's alive!"

These words caused an uproar among the scientists. They forgot about the avalanche and death, and gathered around to observe the egg carefully.

Some people couldn't help being reckless, reached out and touched the eggshell, and closed their mouths in surprise.

The texture of the eggshell is too delicate, and it is not as cold as imagined, but has a vague sense of heat. Of course, this may also be because they have stayed in the icy and snowy environment for too long and touched the less icy environment. Things feel hot.

"This is too amazing... Is it possible that a baby dinosaur can really be hatched here? This is really unheard of." Someone sighed.

Xie Canglin's expression also became serious. He was very careful, put on sterile gloves and held the egg, feeling its texture.

The material of the eggshell is very different.It is not the imaginary calcium substance, but a compound similar to silicon, which is very tough, so it can present such a jade-like color.

I have never heard that the composition of dinosaur eggs is like this.

He pondered for a while, and said: "We can't just rely on observation and guessing here. We should go back as soon as possible and set up a research group to find a way to measure it."

After saying this, he saw that the expressions on the faces of Li Feihua and Tao Jun suddenly dimmed.

Several young people hesitated for a while, and told him: "Teacher, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back."

Li Feihua pointed him outside: "All the way out is blocked by snow. Teacher, on the day you passed out, it snowed heavily again, and the road was completely blocked! And our dry food is almost finished, It's cold and hungry here, and we're afraid... either starve to death or freeze to death..."

He said, like a deflated rubber ball, the flesh of which was full just shrunk into a ball.Everyone else was also crying.

Xie Canglin was stunned.

Now he can finally understand what is called "the ruthlessness and teasing of fate".The sky had just given them hope, but it withdrew this hope and threw down an even bigger cloud.

He lowered his hand weakly, sat down in the corner without saying a word.

In the evening, the cold wind began to attack more and more violently.Sitting here in this drafty environment is literally waiting to die.

Xie Canglin let the young people share the dry food, and he himself ate only half of a small steamed bun. He waved at the compressed biscuit that Li Feihua brought over: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry."

They can't just sit here and wait to die.Xie Canglin thought about it for a day, but was still not reconciled.

But at that time, they didn't have mobile phones, not even a mobile phone, so how could they ask for help from the outside world.

The only thing to do is wait.

This is a remote path, the villagers will not pass by here, not to mention the road is now blocked by snow, the snow is thicker than the hardest iron wall, people from outside can't get in even if they want to.

Only wait for the helicopter of the National Rescue Team to fly over, find them, and rescue them.

There is only one way.

Before leaving Beijing, Xie Canglin and the others reported to the National Academy of Sciences, fully explaining the difficulty and danger of the trip, and also euphemistically expressing that the trip is likely to be life-threatening.

If they are unfortunately sacrificed, the country should give their parents and children an appropriate subsidy for their previous contributions to science.

The leader did not approve the request, but patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are all talents who have made great contributions to the country, and the country will not fail to guarantee your safety. Don't worry, just go, the snow on Mount Everest It’s not that scary yet. Also, have you forgotten what the chairman said? Man conquers nature!”

Man can conquer nature...

Xie Canglin thought about these words and fell into deep thought.

The next morning, when he woke up from his stupor, the first thing he did was to wake up these young people.

In such an environment, you cannot sleep for a long time. If you are not careful, your body temperature will completely cool down, and you will never wake up again.

Xie Canglin once again refused the dry food offered by the young people first, and walked outside the temporary "cave" alone.The wall from the avalanche was still so thick they couldn't get out.

Looking out, as far as the eye can see, it is all white, without a trace of other colors.

Xie Canglin thought for a while, and lay down on the snow.

He was wearing a dark green down jacket, lying in the snow, like an oasis in the desert, quite conspicuous.

Li Feihua noticed Xie Canglin's movements, and hurried over and exclaimed: "Teacher, what are you doing, even if we can't get out, don't give up on yourself, it's so cold lying on the snow."

Xie Canglin pulled his dry and cracked lips, and looked at him with a smile: "Fei Hua, I'm not giving up on myself. Only in this way can the helicopter see us, and we can survive."

Li Feihua's eyes were about to overflow with tears, he asked blankly: "Will there be a helicopter?"

"There will be." Xie Canglin said firmly.

In the next few days, they took turns lying on the snow outside, sometimes together, the brightly colored down jackets were like flowers blooming in the snow, fragile but strong.

Fortunately, although the snow blocked the road, it did not bury the sky above their heads. Under the vast blue sky, sometimes the cool slanting rays of the sun shone over.

From the third day onwards, the dry food has been exhausted.

At this time, the most terrifying thing was not the physical suffering, but the gradual extinction of hope, and the ashes of despair shrouded each of them more and more heavily.

Someone's eyes were already straightened, he stared at the egg in Li Feihua's hand, swallowed: "How about, let's eat this egg..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Feihua seemed to have been pressed on a switch, and suddenly jumped far away, and his dejected look that was still weak just now was suddenly ignited: "What nonsense are you talking about! We found it with great difficulty. It ate it! Have you forgotten why we came here? Do you still have a little scientific spirit!"

Li Feihua's barrage of attacks was not enough, he couldn't even restrain the conflict, and wanted to stand up and hit someone, Tao Jun quickly stopped him.

The man had already been speechless, he shrank into the corner, his voice was crying: "But, I'm so cold...I think I'm going to die."

As he spoke, he couldn't help crying, and the sad and desolate cry filled the "cave", like a dirge for death.

The people in the "cave" fell silent, and no one was in the mood to argue. They all bowed their heads and huddled themselves into a ball.

But at this moment, a faint light shone in the "cave".

Li Feihua wrapped the egg tightly in his clothes, and didn't notice the light, he just felt his arms suddenly become warm, as if he had returned to the warm fire at home.

He squinted his eyes comfortably, immersed in the illusion.

Until Tao Jun yelled: "Fei, Feihua, look quickly!! In your arms...it's lit up, lit up!"

Li Feihua raised his head in doubt, and then he saw in surprise that the egg was like a big light bulb, illuminating his down jacket brightly.

Surprised, he unzipped the down jacket and quickly took out the egg.
