One of the three blue fireballs went straight towards the second squad leader, and the other two burrowed into the crowd like lightning. Including the second squad leader, the cook Lao Zhao, and the correspondent Xiao Lin were hit by the fireballs, and their whole bodies were burned. They stood up, making miserable screams at the same time, twisting and struggling on the ground, trying to roll to put out the fire on their bodies.
A horrible thing happened. Because the soldiers were so nervous when facing the fireball just now, they had all opened the safety bolts of their firearms, and the magazines were full of bullets.
Signal corpsman Xiao Lin was only sixteen years old at the time. He lacked the courage and psychological endurance of the instructor and second squad leader to face death, and the demonic fire burned away his sanity. The pain of being bitten by the flames caused the semi-automatic rifle in his hand to go off. "Tatang~Tatang~Tadang~Tadang~". In the heavy gunfire, three comrades were hit by the stray bullets he fired. He fell into a pool of blood.
Things took a turn for the worst. The instructor would rather commit suicide than let us shoot, but in the end someone still shot. Although being attacked by strange fire bugs is scary, it is not as scary as the avalanche caused by gunfire. The occurrence of an avalanche means catastrophe. No one in the team will survive, one by one. In the valley under the large glacier, shouting may only have a 30% chance of triggering an avalanche, but gunfire has a 200% chance of causing the most horrific consequences.
Seeing the unconscious Xiaolin, his rifle went off, and three comrades were accidentally killed by stray bullets. I didn't have time to think about it, so I gritted my teeth, picked up the rifle in my hand and fired three bursts, knocking down Xiao Lin, the second squad leader, and Lao Zhao who were struggling painfully in the fire.
The sound of rifle bullets echoed in the valley. Due to the narrow width of the valley and the mirror-like ice walls of the large glacier, it was simply a large natural loudspeaker. Gunshots, shouts, and cries echoed in the valley. Wave after wave of echoes, for a long time.
I had not yet gotten over the pain of shooting my comrades with my own hands. My mind was filled with their voices, faces, and smiles when they were alive, and my mind became blurry. Suddenly I felt a chill on my head, and then I came back to myself and touched it with my hand. It turned out that a snowflake fell on my forehead.
It was a clear day and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. There was no way it would snow at this time. As soon as I touched the snowflakes, my heart sank. The first thought that came to my mind was: "Finally, there's an avalanche."
At this time, a blue fireball flew up from the burning corpses of three dead comrades. At this moment, there was no need to worry about shooting anymore. Gawa's marksmanship was the most accurate among the team members. He He picked up the rifle, without even aiming, and fired three shots. Each shot hit the center of the fireball. The ladybug inside was far less caliber than the bullet. The entire body of the insect was wiped out by the bullet, and the flames disappeared. .
After this brief and cruel conflict, there were eight soldiers in our squad, plus the second squad leader and instructor, a total of ten people. Now the only ones left alive are me, Big Man, Gawa, and Liu Gong and Luoning and two intellectuals.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
More and more snow foam fell above my head, and there was a rumbling sound in the sky. The whole valley was shaking. I raised my head and looked up. The snowboard above rolled up a storm, like a big white tsunami. , rolling towards the valley where we are.
The big man pulled me and shouted: "Lao Hu! What a fool, what are you looking at at this time? Hurry up and put it down!"
Our position is in the middle of the valley, and the snow from the avalanche will definitely fill up the entire valley, leaving us with nowhere to run. However, at this critical moment of life and death, humans will always instinctively make one last struggle.
Luo Ning was so frightened that she fainted. The big man put her on his shoulders. Gawa and I dragged Liu Gong and ran to the opposite side of the glacier, hoping to catch the avalanche. Before, we climbed to the slightly higher hillside on the opposite side to fight for this last glimmer of hope.
Even in the most desperate moments, we did not throw away the guns in our hands. Guns are part of a soldier's life. Throwing away guns means throwing away a soldier's honor. But he didn't care about anything else. He threw away all kinds of equipment. He wanted to untie his backpack and throw it away, but in the rush, it was too late. The five survivors pulled each other and ran wildly.
The avalanche came so fast, sweeping over with overwhelming force. The valley was shaken by the energy of the avalanche and rolling snow, and the ground shook for a moment.
I had heard people talk about avalanches before, but I never imagined that there would be such a powerful silver wave between heaven and earth. At this moment, everyone was so heartbroken that they couldn't escape even if they had two more legs.
However, there is no end to the road, and the violent shaking caused by the avalanche caused a large downward-sloping crack to open on the steep hillside in front of us.
The snowstorm that swept through the sky had arrived. Without thinking too much, everyone rushed into the crack in the mountain rocks. The slope under the crack was very steep. They did not expect that there was such a big drop below. They fell in a pile. It rolled a few times and landed at the bottom of a big hole.
Then, a huge snowboard rolled down from behind, completely blocking the cracks in the mountain, stirring up countless snow foam, causing the five people to cough violently. The rumbling above the head lasted for a long time before it calmed down. Listening to this noise, it seemed that there were countless tons of snow covering it.
Unable to distinguish objects in the darkness, everyone narrowly escaped death. It took a long time for someone to speak. He spoke with a Northeastern accent. He knew it was the big man at first glance. The big man asked: "Can you still breathe and make a sound?" Hu, Gawazi, Liu Gong, Luo Gong, are you all here?¡±
I felt like my whole body was about to fall apart. The pain was so painful that I couldn't speak for the time being. I only grunted twice to show that I was still alive.
Gawa agreed, took out the flashlight, and looked around. Luo Ning sat on the ground with dull eyes, as if he was not seriously injured. Liu Gong fell next to him, his eyes closed and he was unconscious. The calf bone of his left leg It was broken, and half of the bones were exposed.
Episode 9 Nine-story Demonic Tower
The mountain crevice we fell into was narrow and deep. It was pitch black outside the lighting range of the flashlight. Due to the limited visibility, we didn¡¯t know what terrain was in the distance.
The big man felt Liu Gong's breath with his hand, shook his hand and said, "It's over, it's over, I'm gone."
I crawled over and touched Liu Gong's carotid artery. He was indeed dead and his heartbeat was gone. So I sighed and said to the big man, "Let's bury Liu Gong."
I took out the engineering shovel and wanted to dig a hole. Gawa stopped me and pointed to the ground: "Insects, fire."
Gawa's reminder made me remember that in the valley, I wanted to dig a hole to bury the engineer who fell to death. In the end, I dug out a devil-like ladybug. There were fourteen people in the team, and in those thrilling minutes, Ten people died inside. It seems that the land here cannot be dug casually. God knows what ghosts are down there.
I have an intuition that that weird bug is not just a mysterious creature. After it burned two people, it split from one into three. Is this just a coincidence? I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.
