This glacier is more than 100 meters long and has a slope of about 30 degrees. Because the ice surface is so slippery, people cannot walk upright.
The above sentence is the subjective data obtained by Lin Yi when he saw the glacier for the first time, so Lin Yi wanted to be the first to try and see if he could climb up without a pickaxe and just rely on his hands and feet.
When Squad Leader 8 saw Lin Yi, he jumped directly onto the ice, and then squirmed forward slowly with his body. He was not in a hurry to keep up. It was not that Squad Leader 8 was not in a hurry to get over, but he knew that he could not climb up without a pickaxe.
Even if you lie down on the ice with your whole body, you can't move very far. It's easier to climb only the first twenty meters. After a hundred meters, the ice will be so slippery that you have to take one step and three steps back.
After Lin Yi runs out of energy, he will inevitably slip back to the starting point, and there will almost never be a second outcome.
When Lin Yi started climbing, he felt it was quite easy. Although it was tiring to climb up and the ice was slippery, because he was lying on the ice, after climbing more than ten meters, he only had to spread his legs to increase friction.
, you can even rest in place for two minutes.
But after climbing twenty meters, he suddenly discovered that the ice surface was too slippery and he didn't dare to exert force. If he tried hard, he would slide down.
As for the small pit that the patrol team dug with a pickaxe yesterday, it has become so round that it can't be dug with fingers. It was probably blown by the wind.
Due to altitude sickness, Lin Yi's physical strength gradually failed to keep up. On this slippery ice surface, Lin Yi knew that it was futile to persist, so he had no choice but to loosen his hands and fall naturally.
8 When the squad leader saw it, he shouted, "After five seconds, spread your legs to increase the friction so that we can catch you."
Although Lin Yi couldn't keep up physically, his skills and body reaction speed were still there. Naturally he knew this, so when he was still five meters away from the starting point, he spread his legs and slowed down.
Squad leader 8 and several other team members raised their hands and steadily caught Lin Yi.
Lin Yi originally wanted to try his best, but found that many of his experiences in the plains were not applicable to the plateau. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This glacier is really difficult to climb."
Squad leader 8 tied the rope to his body at this time, then picked up the pickaxe and began to climb, "Just look at me."
Squad Leader 8's crawling speed was very fast. After knocking down the pickaxe, he could climb at least half a meter. The most important thing was that Squad Leader 8's endurance was beyond Lin Yi's imagination.
Because Lin Yi had climbed just now, he knew very well that with his own physical strength, even if he did not encounter the smooth ice surface behind, he would only be able to climb thirty meters at most.
But squad leader 8 climbed about fifty meters in just a moment, and the speed was scary.
When Xiao Wang saw Lin Yi, he opened his mouth in surprise and smiled, "Platoon Leader Lin, when I first saw Squad Leader 8 climbing the glacier, I was more surprised than you. I was even thinking at that time, what is Squad Leader 8?
If you are not a monkey, how can you climb so fast?"
"It became clear to me later that Squad Leader 8 climbed very slowly at first, but after ten years of climbing, this road was too easy for him. Even with his eyes closed, he knew that he was climbing on this slippery ice.
, what points can we work on?”
Lin Yi nodded, "Ten years, yes, without ten years of experience, it would be really difficult to conquer this road."
Ten minutes later, Squad Leader 8 had climbed to the top of the glacier. Because there was no place to tie a rope, Squad Leader 8 sat directly on the ground, tied the rope around his waist, pushed his legs on the ground, and shouted: "Climb."
Several people heard the shouts of Squad Leader 8 and immediately started to climb up with the rope. Lin Yi fell at the end due to lack of strength.
At this time, Lin Yi looked at Xiao Wang and pointed at Alu, "How can Alu get up there?"
Xiao Wang waved his hand, "Aru can't go up. The ice is too slippery. This is not the way it can walk. Don't worry, it won't run around. It's used to it."
"After we cross the glacier, we can quickly climb to the top of the mountain. We will see if there are any signs of movement of the markers and then we will come back. The whole journey will not take more than half an hour."
Lin Yi looked at Aru at this time and could clearly see that he was restless. It was probably the smell of wolves that made him uneasy.
Because the Eagle Eye skill has already discovered the location of the wolves, it can now be seen even with the Scout skill.
The wolves did not get close to the patrol route, and they probably knew not to get too close, otherwise they would become targets.
The wolves shouldn't be able to move at a distance of two kilometers. After all, they didn't move very far in the past ten minutes. Once they reach the glacier, the round trip will only take half an hour. Aru will probably stay here.
It's okay.
Xiao Wang's movements were very neat, and he climbed more than 30 meters in a short time. Lin Yi knew that he could not waste time, so he touched Alu's head and said, "I bit the traction rope myself. If I find something is wrong, don't wait here. I can
Run as far as you can."
Aru is really very understanding of human nature. When he saw Lin Yi put the leash on the ground, he took the initiative to pick it up himself.
Lin Yi didn't waste any time, grabbed the rope and climbed up. Although the ice was still very slippery, the rope could provide strength, and he quickly climbed up.
After all, if you have a rope when climbing on this kind of ice, you can save a lot of energy as long as you know a little bit about the techniques.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Yi lay down without gasping for air, which surprised Squad Leader 8, "Platoon Leader Lin, your speed is a bit beyond my expectation. It's your first time climbing a glacier. How can you climb a glacier?"
You can climb so fast and your foundation is really good.”
Lin Yi didn't dare to play tricks on the class, "Squad leader 8, don't praise me. I know how much I weigh. Let's go quickly. We'll get to the top of the mountain early and come back early. I'm always a little worried about Alu."
Squad Leader 8 also nodded, "Aru is too loyal. When there is a snowstorm, he would rather be covered in snow than enter the outpost. I have observed the pack of wolves two kilometers away, and they should not attack Aru."
Lu, Alu only has so much meat. If you bite him, you will be exterminated. Why not bite the herdsmen’s cattle and sheep? There is more meat and it is safer.”
Don’t think that attacking Aru and being exterminated is a joke. Aru is also a military dog after all. Military dogs are our soldiers. If he is bitten to death by a wolf, the people at the outpost will not let the wolves pay back ten or twenty times.
, that won’t work either.
As for the original situation where the military dog was bitten to death by a wolf at night, there were many wolves behind the soldiers at that post. In that year, no wolf was seen around the post.
The patrol team sped up the mountain. The last section of the road was the best road Lin Yi had ever walked. Although it was still very steep, and even some sections still required the use of both hands and feet, compared with the glacier just now, the foot pressure was much better.
The solid gravel made his steps brisk.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone went up the hill. Squad Leader 8 pointed to the five-pointed star made of rubble in front of them and said: "This is our end point. No one has moved the five-pointed star, which proves that no one is coming. Signal Corps, Report Team
Headquarters, Squad 8 has reached the end of the patrol, the situation is normal, and is ready to return to the post."
