Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sky is still dim and lightless. Although there is a trace of whitening, it is almost undetectable.

    The biting cold is still there. Although the protective clothing on the body blocks the cold, the cold wind blowing outside the helmet and the frost condensed on the mask are enough to make people understand how cold the weather is.

    Stepping on the thick snow, the members of the expedition team walked forward with difficulty, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

    They are one of the expedition teams under the National Geological Survey Plan. Their mission this time is to conduct geological surveys in the mountainous areas around the city.

    As an expedition team sent by the country, the equipment is naturally very complete. When they set off, they also had specially allocated all-terrain vehicles as transportation.

    But when they arrived in the mountainous area, because the mountainous terrain was rugged and the all-terrain vehicle could not be driven up, they could only leave two team members to guard the vehicle while the others entered the mountainous area on foot.

    Fortunately, as a geological expedition team, the team members all have rich experience in field scientific expeditions. In addition, they have also hiked into the mountains in the past, so I don¡¯t think there is any problem with this.

    "It's just that there is a big gap between the current environment and that before the disaster. If it were before the disaster, they would never enter the mountain with such deep snow, because it would be too dangerous.

    But now, the whole world has become like this, a world of ice and snow. If you are afraid of danger, then don¡¯t do anything, just stay in the shelter and wait to die.

    And they are not taking risks blindly. In addition to everyone being equipped with the necessary protective clothing to ensure that they can survive in the wild, they are also equipped with various other dangerous equipment. Facing today's environment, they  Although there is still a certain degree of danger, you still have the ability to protect yourself.

    ¡°Captain, how long do we have to go?¡± A team member asked the captain of the expedition team through the intercom of his protective suit.

    They have been walking for most of the day and have gone deep into the mountainous area. However, the captain of the expedition team has no intention of stopping and is still leading the team members forward.

    According to their original plan, they needed to rush to a depression in the mountains, set up a campsite there, and then launch an investigation, but they were still a long way from the campsite.

    So the captain also responded on the intercom: "We have to get to the campsite to rest. At our current forward speed, we will have to walk for about another hour. Comrades, if we hold on a little longer, we can rest when we reach the campsite."  "

    After the captain finished explaining, he did not forget to encourage everyone. In fact, he himself was very tired, but as the captain, he needs to lead his team members and cannot complain about being tired at this time.

    After all, if the captain starts complaining and complaining about being tired, then how can you expect the team members to persist?

    The captain's words did encourage the team members to some extent. Although everyone was very tired after walking for a day, and they knew that they would have to build the camp by themselves when they arrived at the camping site, they still had some hope.  As for feeling like I'm going on blindly.

    ¡°Perhaps they were encouraged by the captain¡¯s words that the camp was ahead, so everyone¡¯s pace accelerated a lot. Although this might consume more energy, everyone unconsciously wanted to reach the camp as early as possible.

    The captain didn¡¯t say much when he saw this, but he silently quickened his pace.

    After all, everyone is tied together by a rope, just like a long string. If one person walks faster or slower, it will affect others, so everyone can only move forward at the same speed.

    This is also a kind of safety guarantee for advancing in places such as snowy mountains, glaciers or swamps. If someone is tied with a rope, even if someone falls or falls into a pit or glacier crevice, others can still hold him.  It won't fall directly to the bottom or get trapped without being able to escape.

    In addition to safety ropes, the members of the expedition team also have various field equipment such as locators, flares, and ice picks, as well as some of the latest field emergency supplies to ensure their safety in the wild.

    As the captain moved forward, he pressed a button under his helmet, and a suction nozzle popped up in the helmet.

    This is used for eating while traveling in the wild. It is connected to a detachable container containing a jelly-like nutritional paste.

    In the wild, if you want to open the mask to eat, your mouth and food will stick together in an instant when the external environment temperature is tens of degrees below zero, and the food itself will quickly cool down.  , even frozen.

    Therefore, when installed on protective clothing in this way, it can be maintained by relying on the thermal insulation effect of the protective clothing itself.The heat ensures that the food does not get cold and at the same time, it is also very convenient to eat the food directly while traveling, without wasting time due to the inconvenience of having to find a place to make a fire to cook in the wild.

    As for when the food in the container is finished, it is simple. You can directly replace the container with food, remove the empty container and replace it with a new one.

    The nutritional paste contained in a container like this is enough to maintain the nutrients a normal adult needs for a day. It is also rich in water. Although it does not provide a feeling of fullness, it is suitable for expedition teams who often conduct scientific expeditions in the wild.  Say, it's practical enough.

    And this nozzle can be switched to the kettle on the other side, so that you can drink warm and delicious hot water, so that people will not ask for more.

    The group of people moved forward quickly, and with the help of the exoskeleton, they finally arrived at the scheduled camping site.

    This is a mountain col, surrounded by mountain walls on all sides, blocking the cold wind. As long as you set up a tent, it will be a perfect campsite.

    ¡°Compared to the tree branches we used to build shacks, the conditions now are much better!¡± The captain couldn¡¯t help but sigh while instructing the team members to prop up the tents.

    In the past, expedition teams like them who came for scientific expeditions basically used local materials to build a shack after entering the mountains. It was almost impossible to live comfortably and comfortably.

    Even if the conditions are better and tents are available, the conditions in the wild are still very difficult.

    But now, the various equipment they are equipped with ensures that even in this environment in the wild, they can still at least have hot meals and a warm and comfortable bed to sleep in.

    But just as everyone was busy, gradually setting up the tent and preparing to finish cooking, the captain heard some low roaring sounds.

    This sound was masked by the strong wind all around, and it seemed difficult to hear clearly among the whistling sounds. However, when the captain listened intently, he suddenly felt the vibration coming from under his feet.

    The surrounding snow seemed to be collapsing, and the roar the captain heard came from the mountain wall.

    This made the captain suddenly panic and shouted: "There is an avalanche!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
