winter in greenland

When Dan rushed to the bottom of the glacier, the third wave of explosions sounded in the distance.He was on a gentle slope on the shady side of the glacier. The snow on the top of the mountain was almost shaken by the previous shock wave. After the flood of snow flooded their camp, it finally came to an end, and the real danger still loomed. On the top of the head—the crack in the middle is expanding bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked around flusteredly, and finally saw a figure about 50 meters above him, still moving up bit by bit.

He made a careful distinction for a few seconds and saw that it was August. He had a climbing rope tied around his waist and two simple sleds on his back.

August must have discovered something, but their radio was only a buzzing noise as early as the first wave of explosions, and he didn't dare to risk shouting.In desperation, he remembered the skills of climbing snow-capped mountains that Heath had inadvertently told him during the base training before: "...the important thing is your walking posture, try to reduce the load on the ankle joint, At the same time, use the gripping force of the crampons to adjust your center of gravity to ensure balance..."

He walked up some ten meters with some difficulty, and when he looked up again, within his line of sight, about 200 meters above his head, snow covered about half of a protruding brown rock, right on the snow-white , a small figure is constantly struggling and twisting.

That's Datta.

August must have discovered Datta's location and wanted to get her down the mountain before the final avalanche came.

Dan gasped: It's too dangerous.

Seeing that August approached Datta's position bit by bit at an incredible speed, Dan did not continue to go up.From his position, he could already clearly hear the tooth-piercing crunching sound of the glacier crumbling above his head. His eyes were almost frantically searching around. This shady belt is not as smooth and smooth as the sunny belt. There were rock blocks scattered among the snowdrifts, but none of them seemed to provide enough shelter for three people.

Not far away, August had already climbed to where Datta was. The little girl was obviously terrified. The moment she saw August, she stopped struggling and writhing, without any reaction, and just stayed there. Stared blankly at him.After August untied the rope on her body neatly, he pointed to the top of the two of them in a daze: "The glacier is about to collapse."

August didn't answer. He looked back in the direction he came and went, and keenly caught Dan's figure. Although he was surprised, he had to admit that he was actually relieved.

"Ever skied?" he asked Datta.

Datta nodded.

August removed the sled boards on his back, tied them together and fixed them, and then tied Datta up, and said simply: "Slide straight down, to the direction of that uncle down the mountain, he will take you to safe place."

Before Datta could react, he turned his head and whistled loudly in Dan's direction.

Dan looked up after hearing the voice, and August pointed to Datta beside him, then pointed in his direction, and then made a pushing motion.

Dan Xin understood what he meant in a blink of an eye, and raised his arms to show him that he understood.In the next second, August pushed the crude "skateboard" lightly, Datta only had time to scream, and then she swept down the mountainside at a flying speed.

August's body tensed up, and he slid down after him.

All the nerves in Dan's body tensed up, but in just a few seconds, Datta came to him screaming.He stretched out his arms and fell to one side of the sled, and fell down on the snow, protecting Datta's vitals, and was carried by the inertia of the sled to slide down.

Seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, a huge roar sounded from their ears—the last bomb also detonated.

The shock wave lifted the two of them several meters high with the power of destroying heaven and earth. The choking snow foam in the air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder, making people breathless.

The two thin sleds snapped apart in an instant, and Dan grabbed Datta and pulled her under him, and the two of them landed hard on a snow slope near the foot of the mountain.

The fluffy new snow on the thick snow ground relieved more than half of the impact of the two of them. Dan felt his internal organs trembling, and his ears were full of buzzing, until Datta struggled to escape from under his chest. In the early days, he came back to his senses.

His mouth was full of rust, he spat bloody saliva, stood up with force, and pulled Datta up: "It's not safe here, let's go!"

Datta pointed at his back with a look of horror. Dan turned his head and saw that the crack on the mountainside had extended to 10 meters, and the top of the glacier was like a cracked crystal. Countless large and small ice blocks were rolling towards them. , During the period, the snow on the mountainside was brought up, and a large amount of snow dust was raised in the air. Under the sunlight, countless dazzling rays of light were reflected in the white snow mist, with a fatal attraction.

August fell about ten meters behind them. He was probably more seriously affected by the shock wave of the explosion, and he was standing up from the ground.

It was too late to go any further.In the blink of an eye, Dan caught a glimpse of a rock about 3 or 4 meters high a few meters beside him. The wide fan-shaped surface could barely block two people.

Before he could think about it, he pushed Datta over and said sharply, "Hide here, don't come out!" Then he rushed towards August.

There is fresh snow brought by the avalanche under your feet, and you will sink almost every step you take.After what felt like a century, he finally walked in front of August.

Probably the internal organs were injured. August's face was a little pale, and there was a smear of red blood on the corner of his mouth. He barely got up from the snow and saw Dan when he looked up.

"What are you doing here?!" His voice was startled and angry.

Dan didn't say anything, just grabbed one of his arms, and half dragged and led the people to Datta's hiding place.

"Didn't I tell you to take Datta away first? What are you doing when you come back?!"

Dan turned his head and glanced at him, both his eyes and his tone were shockingly cold: "You overestimate me, Major. Under this level of explosion, I can only take cover nearby, and you are right in front of me Injured, sorry I couldn't leave my teammates behind."

August pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

The two of them had barely reached the rock before Dan had just had time to push August in, and the first wave of ice, big and small, had already brushed past his side.

He didn't have time to dodge, but felt a sharp stabbing pain in his right shoulder.Dan gritted his teeth and refused to say anything, and hid behind the rock next to August.

Datta was already petrified, pressed against August's chest, his eyes wide open, and his hands tightly gripping the skirt of his shirt.

Fortunately, the glacier didn't really break down in the middle. The snow on the top of the mountain had already fallen almost before. They could hear the impact of countless ice cubes falling on the rocks, and small pieces of ice crystals splashed away from their sides. Go, it didn't hurt them much.

I don't know how long it took, the roar above his head finally subsided gradually, and Dan's right shoulder was already numb. He only felt that there was always a buzzing in his ear, and he shook his head to barely hear August talking to him.

"What's wrong with you?" August noticed something was wrong with him, and frowned.

Dan reluctantly shook his head: "I'm fine, is the explosion over?"

"It seems to be yes. Before the second avalanche is triggered, we have to leave here as soon as possible. I have notified Ian and Newman before that such a big explosion, the base and headquarters should send people over soon."

Dan didn't speak, and he supported himself with some effort: "Then let's go."

August only felt a strong smell of blood coming from his nostrils the moment he straightened up: "Wait, are you injured?"

Dan smiled: "Maybe it's a small injury, it's okay."

August ignored him, grabbed his shoulders and forced him to turn around halfway. What he saw was a bloody mess—an icicle about ten centimeters stuck on his right shoulder, and now he has been leaning on it. On the rock wall, the blood had already stuck to the rock wall. Now that he stood up, it was equivalent to "tearing" himself off the rock abruptly, and blood gushed out of the wound that had solidified.

August only felt as if a hand was tightening his heart. The scene in front of him seemed familiar. The knuckles of his fingers holding Dan's shoulder turned white with force, as if he was suppressing something.

Dan noticed something was wrong with him, and barely raised his left hand to wrap around his arm: "It's really not that serious, let's go, get out of here first."

Only then did August come back to his senses, bent down without saying a word, put the man on his back, and looked at Datta apologetically: "Can you walk by yourself?"

Datta nodded, August supported Dan's waist with one hand to prevent him from slipping, and pulled Datta with the other, walking out of the dangerous zone step by step
