Chapter 18 You should not grow by the sacrifice of others
…
"This place looks unreliable, we need to get through as soon as possible!"
Lu Ming stood under the huge iceberg, looked up, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Inside the hundreds of meters high ice sculpture, the Oriental Pearl Tower is inserted into the ice like an antenna. You can still see it deeper, Lanzhou Ramen in the sky, a tilted ambulance...
Through the ice city, you can clearly see the various accessories inside, including cars, buildings, houses, noodle shops, and clinics... A real-world Ice Age was displayed in front of several people.
White, everything is white, no matter what color it was here before, all that appears in front of you at this moment is white, and everything is wrapped in white glaciers.
There is a narrow trail space in the middle of the ice layer that is hundreds of meters high and has an infinite length. Looking from the bottom up, the hanging ice is biting and cold, as if it might fall at any time.
"According to the information detected by the drone, our squadron is located 80 kilometers ahead. We can reach it in about an hour by following this rift valley."
Wang Lei pointed to the thin line of sky in front and said to Lu Ming: "If we take a detour, it will take at least three times as long, and then we will not have time to transport the flint to our destination."
"What if we don't take a detour and go from above?"
Lu Ming raised his neck and looked at the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, narrowed his eyes, pointed at the top of the glacier, and said, "Is there a road up there?"
"above?"
Wang Lei looked up at the glacier. The sun shined through the ice like several layers of crystal light, making it a little more dazzling. He also subconsciously squinted his eyes, "We can't go up. There must be at least two or three people there." A hundred meters high!"
"Please confirm first. If we can drive up there, we may reach our destination faster."
Lu Ming looked at him and continued to insist. In a corner where no one was paying attention, a small green tree sprouted from the finger inside his protective suit, changing suddenly.
Wang Lei took a deep look at Lu Ming, and then silently ordered the team members to continue the investigation. After a while, the released drone flew back again. The team members quickly controlled and calculated on the computer, staring at the strings on the screen. Data, and finally shook his head slightly at him.
"There are too many breaks in the upper section of the road, and there are gaps almost every 100 meters. Although I don't know how we can go up, but even if we go up, it will only be more dangerous than below. We simply can't drive for a long time."
"...Really, there is no room for people to express themselves at all."
Lu Ming shook his head, sighed, and the green buds between his fingers disappeared. He turned and walked towards the direction of the transport vehicle, "Then go downstairs and be fast. Pay attention to the safety of your team members. I have an ominous feeling."
"Boss, what does he mean?"
Zhou Qian looked at Wang Lei, frowned and asked, "He's coming down to fight with us?"
"No matter what he plans to do."
Wang Lei watched Lu Ming get on the carrier vehicle, turned to Ye Qian and said, "We all need to perform our own tasks. The hope of survival of the 350,000 people is in our hands!"
"Get out now!"
"yes!"
…
Back in the car, Lu Ming took off his protective clothing and moved his body, which was restrained by the protective clothing, a little. Li Shiqing came over and asked with concern, "How's it going?"
"It doesn't work."
Lu Ming shook his head, "There are cracks on top, almost every few dozen meters. We are still seven or eight kilometers away from the squadron in front, and it is impossible for vehicles to drive past stably."
"What should we do?"
Li Shiqing frowned and asked involuntarily.
"If plan A doesn't work, then plan B will be implemented~"
Lu Ming smiled and moved his hand, and a small green tree appeared on it.
Originally, he planned to avoid any risk of the convoy making mistakes by using the small trees to grow larger and send the convoy directly to the top of the ice. In this way, walking on the top would be much less risky than the risk encountered on the bottom in the original work.
For this reason, he made up his mind to expose his superpowers to the rescue team.
But unfortunately, the results of factual verification told him that the risks above were far greater than those below.
Therefore, the backup plan can only be activated. The carrier vehicle and rescue vehicle drive through the ice cracks at the fastest speed, and he needs to stay outside the vehicle like last time to prevent the second earthquake from causing trouble to the vehicle.
"Be careful." Li Shiqing said with concern.
Lu Ming's plan was only told to her, so of course she knew what the backup plan was.
Although she knew that Lu Ming was not afraid of the outside temperature, if the hundreds of meters of ice were accidentally buried inside, she didn't think she could survive with just a small tree.
"Don't worry, remember to take two more handsome photos for me later."
Lu Ming scratched Li Shiqing's nose, handed her the phone, and made a powerful gesture, "I am a superman now!"
"Virtue!"
Li Shiqing took the phone and couldn't help but smile.
The most reassuring and comfortable thing about getting along with Lu Ming is that no matter how dangerous and tense the atmosphere is, he can make you relax subconsciously.
A very serious matter can always be made very relaxed and humorous by him.
She likes such a simple and comfortable atmosphere, although someone occasionally likes to chat and get nervous~
…
"Old man, follow the rescue vehicle and let's pass through the canyon as quickly as possible."
Lu Ming walked up to Han Ziang and said to him, "Then open the skylight and I'll go out later."
"good!"
Han Ziang nodded slightly, his hand holding the direction ball very steady. Even though it had reached more than 100 horsepower, the carrier still rarely felt any bumps while driving.
In his decades-long driving career, he is not capable of the exciting racing behaviors of young people, such as sudden speeding and sharp turns, but he is more experienced. No matter whether he steps on the accelerator or changes gears, he can unconsciously give people a sense of calmness when driving.
"呲呲呲."
The sound of electricity came from the intercom, and Lu Ming's expression moved slightly.
The caller at this time was probably Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
"Signal intervention."
"Captain Wang Lei, this is the space station, and I am astronaut Liu Peiqiang."
"Hello Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang, I am the commander of the 171-11 rescue team, please give me instructions."
Listening to the conversation on the intercom, Liu Qi and Han Ziang both looked away.
"Captain Wang Lei, please follow the regulations to recruit civilians and place them in the nearest underground city as soon as possible!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang, I hope you can understand that the rescue mission is urgent! I will resettle civilians in the Jiaxing shelter, but the carrier vehicle has special controls, and we need to keep the driver Han Ziang! Report completed!"
Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang on the other side of the space felt a little depressed after hearing the report. After a moment of silence, he continued to say in a deep voice, "Captain Wang Lei, the rescue route is rugged. Please ensure Han Ziang's personal safety..."
"I stayed!"
Liu Qi suddenly interrupted, "I can drive this car too! When we get to Jiaxing, let..."
"You can't open it!"
Lu Ming interrupted.
"I can drive!"
Liu Qi looked at him.
"You are just angry, angry at what your father has done, and hating him for abandoning your mother."
Lu Ming looked at Liu Qi calmly, "But this is not a reason for you to be willful. It should not be a reason for you to do something presumptuous and contradictory to your father!"
"If it hadn't been for him, my mother wouldn't have died!"
Lu Ming's words suddenly brought back Liu Qi's memories. His eyes turned red and he said bitterly, "Shouldn't I hate him?"
The resentment buried deep in his heart was dug out. For a moment, Liu Qi only felt resentful and resentful, and he forgot to ask Lu Ming why he knew about his mother.
"I won't tell you anything like your grandfather did because he is your father, and because he has difficulties, you should forgive him."
Lu Ming looked through the glass of the car window at the ice outside, feeling something slightly, and said, "I just hope you understand that a man's growth should not always rely on the sacrifice of others!"
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Qi frowned.
"Your father, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang, may also die!"
Lu Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Qi, "Maybe today!"
"Don't be anxious yet."
Reaching out to hold down the agitated Liu Qi, Lu Ming continued, "You will only know how to cherish your father if he dies. In that case, you will really make me a little disappointed to recognize you as my brother!"
"If a person's growth is achieved through the sacrifice of family and friends, then it's okay not to have this growth. The so-called willfulness you think you should have when you are young is just a sign of your cowardice and lack of courage."
"What will die?"
Liu Qi felt a bad feeling in his heart and asked quickly.
Lu Ming lowered his head and said nothing, closing his eyes slightly to feel something. After a moment, he opened the sunroof and jumped to the roof of the car.
