Chapter 201 Snow Maitreya
Han Shuna from the vertical wall of the ice abyss back to the face of a white cloudy piece, the distance between her and us, has been close to the limit of the “Wolf Eyes” beam range, I in order to see more clearly, the whole body is lying on the edge of the ice caves, and hard to explore the flashlight downward, although it is fuzzy to see, but I have been able to feel that the “woman”, she is no longer a human being, in the ice wall. Although I could see blurred, I could already feel that the “woman” on the ice wall was no longer a human being.
Uncle Ming also held up the flashlight to look down, but once he saw Han Shuna’s face, but was frozen in fear, hands and feet suddenly soft, the hand of the flashlight tumbled into the ice crevice, if not for Peter Huang pulling him, almost even people have fallen into the ice crevice below.
Han Shuna, who suddenly grew a white face, was surprised by the falling flashlight and crawled swiftly to the bottom of the dark ice abyss and soon disappeared into the darkness.
We leaned over to look at the falling “wolf eyes” flashlight, hoping to learn the depth of the ice abyss, but only to see that the flashlight fell, it became a small bright spot flipped, smaller and smaller, and ultimately was swallowed into the darkness below, fat man and I have seen the desert “bottomless ghost hole”, see the bottomless ghost hole. I and Fatty have seen the “bottomless ghost hole” in the desert, see this ice abyss is bottomless, can not help but think of that ghost hole.
At this time, Shirley Yang put a bundle of mountaineering rope with fast hanging fixed on the body, said to me: “Let’s hurry to follow up.” Look at her style, seems to be going down to the ice abyss to chase Han Shuna, I thought for a moment, I have understood the meaning of Shirley Yang, Han Shuna’s body, I do not know what happened to the changes, although she saw the crowd fled into the depths of the ice abyss, but that direction, just is inserted diagonally into the direction of the icy slopes under the Nine Layers of the Demon Tower, I do not know whether it is intentional or unintentional, if you do not figure out this matter, will probably be given to tomorrow. If we don’t get to the bottom of this, it will probably cause unexpected trouble for tomorrow’s excavation of the “Glacier Crystal Corpse”.
Must find Han Shuna before the situation continues to deteriorate, I also immediately prepare the rope, with Shirley Yang open all the light source, fall rope and down, but the ice in the ice abyss is slippery exceptionally, there is no support point can be based on the body of the blue fluorescent tubes and tactical spotlights, such as mirrors on the ice wall, reflecting a peculiar and disorientation of the light, in addition to all the surroundings are dark, so that people do not know where they are. Just down to a depth of more than ten meters, feel about to lose their sense of direction.
We had to stop for a while to confirm our position, and the narrow ice abyss seemed to have no boundaries.
Shirley Yang said that at least a few hundred meters of depth, the deepest part of the “Sea of Disaster” that the remaining water veins of the lake, Uncle Ming’s flashlight fell into the water, so it will disappear, said a fluorescent tube twisted brightly, thrown to the bottom of the ice abyss, after a long time, the blue fluorescent only disappeared in the line of sight! The blue fluorescent light disappeared from sight only after a long time, and we put our ears on the ice wall, and we could vaguely hear the sound of running water coming up.
Han Shuna is to move diagonally down, we descend vertically, in order to catch up with her, it is necessary to swing horizontally over, we tried, in this ice wall is too slippery, it is difficult to do, in the end, only to rely on tools, want to use a mountaineering pickaxe chiseling the ice wall, to use the force of the inward movement, but just chiseled a little bit, we found that the broken ice continues to fall down, this abyss of ice there are signs to be cracked.
Long Ding Glacier is at a special altitude, belongs to the low altitude glacier, there are two or three months a year the surface of the melting period, but the middle of the thickest several hundred meters of ice, always will not change.
But we came to the timing is not too appropriate, just in time for the end of the ablation period, as well as the advent of the cold wave in the early part of the body of the glacier is the most fragile time period, coupled with the glacier there are countless natural ice buckets, ice funnels, ice crevasses, as well as hundreds of reincarnation of the Sect of the graves, it can be said that this ice with the hornet’s nest is almost the same as that normal days okay, September is the most prone to collapse, although thousands of years have not occurred in the major geologic changes, but this “ice” is the “ice”, the “ice”, “ice”, “ice” and “ice”. Although there has not been a major geological change in thousands of years, but this “ocean of disaster”, at any time people may have unexpected disasters.
But then again, everything has its two sides, the fragile period of the glacier, for digging deep under the ice layer of the nine layers of the demon building, but also very favorable, if after the cold wave to do it, it will be very hard.
Above Uncle Ming, Fatty and others, worried about our safety, shouted loudly for us to go back, don’t chase, it’s too dangerous.
It doesn’t matter if they shouted so much, the sound from above was poured down by the wind, Shirley Yang and I felt that this whole ice wall was trembling, and hurriedly signaled with the flashlight, so that they mustn’t shout there in the ice hole, or else in case of ice avalanches occurring when this ice wall cracks open, we would all have to be buried alive in this cold and dark ice abyss.
Our moving speed on the ice wall, slower than expected, and it is impossible to move horizontally, coupled with the environment in this ice abyss is too dark and complex, soldiers are precious, lost the first opportunity, there is no way to catch up, Shirley Yang shook his head helplessly to me, it seems to have to give up the pursuit, or go up and then think about it.
We pumped the climbing rope climbing rope, ready to go back to the ice hole above, so with a flashlight to the people above the cross a few times, fat people and other people will understand, then in the above to assist, Shirley Yang and I gradually rise, due to the ice wall can not stop the foot, close with the foot, the body will not be able to involuntarily suspended in the air to turn around.
I turned around, suddenly saw the side of the dark ice wall, lying on a woman, half of her body hidden in the gap in the ice wall, only a small half of the body, the face of a white hoo-hoo a piece, only two rows of teeth, look at her hair and the body of the yellow rushing clothes, it is Han Shuna.
I thought she had gone to the depths of the ice abyss, I did not expect not far from us on the ice wall, there is an inconspicuous gap, Han Shuna hid in it, in the case that we gave up the tracking, ready to return to the top, she suddenly appeared again, want to do what?
I pulled Shirley Yang’s arm, both stopped at the same time, Shirley Yang also saw Han Shuna climbed out of the ice cracks, also feel very surprised, I came down before, will irradiate the range of twenty-five meters of the “wolf’s eye” wrapped around the arm, this time raised his arm, straight to Han Shuna shone over.
In the dark and cold ice abyss, even the “wolf eye”, only less than twenty meters of visibility, but this distance, just can light Han Shuna where the ice crevice, “Han Shuna”, before we figure out what she is, let’s call her so, she seems to be interested in the light of the tactical torch. She didn’t seem to have any reaction to the beam of the tactical flashlight, lying on her back and poking out half of her body on the ice crevice, and then she didn’t move at all.
Since Han Shuna’s face is devoid of features, just a hazy patch of flowery white, two rows of teeth open in vain, so we can’t see whether her expression is sorrow or anger, both sides just stood frozen in mid-air, I gradually became a bit sullen, that guy can’t possibly be a human being at all, and it doesn’t seem to be a corpse with stiff body joints either, but no matter what she is, there’s absolutely no goodwill.
I yanked out my M1911 and prepared to shoot it over and blow Han Shuna’s head off, before I could dial the safety, I felt someone tapping my shoulder, Shirley Yang said behind me, “You can’t shoot it, it’ll cause the ice wall to crumble.”
Before I put the pistol away, that no face Han Shuna suddenly to the whole body electrified like, leaped out of the hiding ice crevice, open arms and legs, like a big white lizard general, brush a few times quickly climbed over to me.
Shirley Yang and I see the situation is not good, do not know “Han Shuna” body why will become this horror, but the only certainty is that, once contacted by her, will face great danger, then do not dare to slow down, and hurriedly pull the downward lock in the mountaineering rope, quickly rise the body on the ice abyss, the best can be Han Shuna to lead to the glacier. Han Shuna to lead to the glacier.
But we rise fast, but Han Shuna in the ice wall crawling faster, in less than five or six meters from the ice, her big white face, can already reach Shirley Yang’s shoes, the crowd on the glacier to see it, the fat man and the first two people despite the obstruction of Uncle Ming, raised his gun into the ice caves to shoot, shot at the gun in the “Han Shuna The bullets all hit “Han Shuna’s” face.
I turned around and looked down, only to see “Han Shuna” white face was opened two holes, her body was also the impact of the bullets down through, fell a few meters, then hung on the ice wall, raised no eyes and nose of the face upward looking, face of the two holes in the whirlwind and then re-healed, the ice abyss is really shaken by the sound of gunfire, the broken ice kept falling one after another! Han Shuna” seems to be in order to avoid the falling hard ice, the figure of a flash, and ducked into the ice cracks.
Shirley Yang and I took the opportunity to climb to the top, and then look down, above the collapse of some of the large ice has blocked the ice cracks, we want to go in from here to look for “Han Shuna” has been impossible, but this glacier under the crevices of the complexity of the vertical and horizontal, who knows where she will drill out, and the gun seems to have no effect on her, very difficult to deal with. It is very difficult to deal with.
In this windy and snowy night, too many unimaginable things have happened, however, midnight has just passed, there is still a long time to dawn, when the wind and snow will stop, it is difficult to predict, it seems that this night is not going to sleep peacefully.
The people blocked the ice cave, back to the tent for warmth, tossed half the night, although tired, but can not sleep, gathered together to discuss the matter of “Han Shuna”, Peter Huang said: “Maybe she was not burned to death, but only seriously injured, buried in the snow and came back to life … …”
Fatty said: “How can it be, the old yellow talk do not not think through OK, we have seen with our own eyes, the head burned out of one-third, so if not dead, then I’m afraid that there is no dead people under the sky, look at the top of the face of her white stuff, most likely are white hair, which is certainly turned into the snowy mountain zombies, very, very bad to deal with. ”
I think things will not be so simple, that kind of thing, never seen or heard of, Shirley Yang asked A Xiang whether he saw anything special, only to learn that A Xiang did not even dare to open his eyes to see.
The people each say each reason, discussed for a long time are not a result, the last guide first suddenly a slap, Tibetan lamas on meditation, often do this action, said a sudden awakening, or deepen the memory or something, the first young often with the lama to go to the mountains to collect medicines, but also developed such a habit, it is clear that he thought of something.
So we stopped and stopped talking, the first year said to the crowd, “must be haunted by the snow mille, two years ago there was also comrades of the Geological Institute, in the Kunlun Mountains Mogu Cliffs have encountered this kind of thing, but there has not been a precedent in the area of the Karamir, the Kunlun Mountains snow mille is even more terrifying than the evil spirits, her body will grow fatter and fatter… …”
Chouichi was about to recount the previous incidents of the Snow Maitreya scourging people and animals in the Kunlun Mountains, but suddenly stopped his mouth, and in that instant, his expression seemed to have frozen, as did Uncle Ming, Ah Xiang, and Peter Wong who were sitting on one side of the room with him, all of them staring at the top of the tent behind us in unison as if there was something terrifying there.
I hurried back to look at the back, only to see the tent canvas, was pressed from the outside in two huge handprints, there is a huge round print in the middle, like a human face without five senses pressed on it, are twice the normal human body proportions, it seems that there is something is trying to use their hands from the outside of the canvas, drilling into the tent, I see that the two big hands are really big and scary, the tent was pressed to the sound of the tent is about to collapse soon! The tent was being crushed, and soon it was going to collapse.
