Chapter 8 Avalanche
The second squad leader just rushed out two steps and then stopped, in front of us appeared an incredible scene, the strange ladybug emitting flame breath, from a single split into three, each one is the same size as the original one.
One of the three blue fireballs jumped straight at the second squad leader, the other two drilled into the crowd like lightning, including the second squad leader, as well as the cook Lao Zhao, the correspondent Xiao Lin, three people were hit by the fireballs, their whole body burned up, they let out miserable screams at the same time, writhing and struggling on the ground, wanting to roll to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
Something horrible happened, due to the soldiers’ excessive nervousness when facing the fireball just now, they had already all opened the safeties of their firearms, and the magazines full of bullets were top loaded.
Communicator Xiao Lin was only sixteen years old at the time, and he lacked the courage and mental fortitude of the instructor and second squad leader who had faced death, and the demonic flames burned away his sanity. In the pain of being hissed by the flames, the semi-automatic rifle in his hand went off “Ta-dang~ta-dang~ta-dang~ta-dang~ta-dang~ta-dang~”, the heavy sound of gunfire, three of his comrades were hit by the stray bullets he shot, and all fell in a pool of blood.
Things were going in the worst direction, the instructor would rather kill himself than let us shoot, but in the end, someone still fired. Being attacked by strange firebugs was horrible, but not as horrible as an avalanche caused by gunfire; an avalanche would mean doom, and no member of the squad, one or the other, would survive. In the valley under the big glacier, yelling and screaming may only have a 30% probability of triggering an avalanche, but the sound of gunfire, two hundred percent will bring the most terrible consequences.
Seeing the delirious Kobayashi rifle went off, stray bullets flying around accidentally killed three comrades. I can’t think too much, a clench of teeth, pick up the rifle in the hands of three point-blank shots, knocked down in the fire struggling with pain in the small forest, the second squad leader, Lao Zhao.
The sound of rifle bullets echoed in the valley, due to the narrow width of the valley, coupled with the large glacier mirror-like ice walls, it is simply a natural big speaker, the sound of gunshots, shouts, cries in the valley struck a wave after wave of echoes for a long time.
I have not been freed from the pain of shooting their own comrades, full of their faces and smiles, sanity became blurred, suddenly felt a cold head, only to come back to God, with a hand to touch, it was a piece of snowflakes fell on my forehead.
At that time, the weather was sunny, the sun was hanging in the sky shining brightly, it was impossible for snow to fall at this time. As soon as I touched the snowflake, my heart sank with a thump, and the first thought that surfaced in my mind was, “Finally an avalanche.”
At this time in the three dead comrades are still burning bodies, each flying up a blue fireball, at this moment there is no longer need to be wary of shooting, Ga Wa’s marksmanship is the most accurate members of the squad, he picked up the rifle, aiming without aiming, lifting his hand is the three shots, each shot is right in the center of the fireball, inside the ladybugs are far from the caliber of the bullets is large, the body of the bugs throughout the bullets are gone, and the flames also disappeared.
After a short but brutal conflict, our class of eight soldiers, plus the second squad leader instructor a total of ten people, now still alive only left me and the big man, Ga Wa three soldiers, and then there is Liu Gong and Luo Ning two intellectuals.
The snow froth falling overhead is getting more and more, there is a rumbling sound coming from the sky, the whole valley is shaking, I raise my head and look upwards, the snowboard above rolls up in a storm, like a big white tsunami, rolling towards the valley we are in.
The big guy pulled me up and called out, “Old Hu! Mom pull a son of a bitch, all this time you still see what the stuff ah, hurry to put it down!”
Our position is in the middle of the valley, the avalanche of snow will certainly fill the entire valley, there is no place to run, but to this life and death situation, human beings will always be instinctive to do the last struggle.
Luo Ning has long been scared fainted to the ground, the big man to carry her to the shoulder, I and Ga Wa two people even drag drag Liu Gong, to the opposite side of the big glacier, counting on the avalanche fell before, climbed to the opposite side of the slightly higher slopes, to fight for the last line of life.
In the most desperate moment, we did not throw away the gun in our hands, the gun is a part of the soldier’s life, throwing away the gun means throwing away the soldier’s honor. But other things can not care about, all kinds of equipment are thrown away regardless of, want to unlock the body of the backpack thrown away, but in the rush is too late, the five survivors pull each other wildly running.
The avalanche came too fast, with the momentum of the mountains swept, the valley was snow collapse tumbling energy vibration, a time the ground shook.
I have heard people talk about the avalanche situation, but never imagined, heaven and earth there is such a powerful silver wave, this time everyone’s heart is like ashes, even if you grow two more legs can not run away.
However, there is no end to the sky, the avalanche triggered by the violent vibration, so that in front of us on the steep mountain slopes, cracked a large slant downward slit.
The snowstorm sweeping through the air had arrived, the people could not think too much, and rushed into the cracked crevice in the rocks, the slope under the crevice was very steep, and I did not expect to have such a big drop underneath, and made a bunch of falls, and rolled a few times to fall at the bottom of a big hole.
Subsequently, a huge snowboard from the back will roll down, the mountain crevasse blocked a tightly closed, stirred up countless snow foam, choking the five people constantly coughing violently.
The darkness can not recognize things, the people are back from the dead, after a long time before someone opened his mouth to speak, full of northeastern accent, one heard know is a big man, a big man asked: “can still breathe squeak a sound, old Hu, Ga Wa Zi, Liu Gong, Luo Gong, you are all there?”
I felt my whole body falling apart, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t speak for the time being, I only grunted twice to show that I was still alive.
Ga Wa promised, took out a flashlight, shone the surrounding, Luo Ning’s gaze was dull sitting on the ground, as if he wasn’t hurt much, Liu Gong collapsed next to him, his eyes closed unconscious, his left leg calf bone was broken, white half of the bone was exposed outside.
