Chapter 2338 Detailed Explanation
There was a loud rumbling sound above the entire snow cave, and then the entire snow cave began to shake.
Wei Zhenhui's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously, "Is this?" Was there another avalanche?
The mountaineering team guide lying next to him frowned and said seriously, "It's an avalanche, the third avalanche! This is incredible. How could it happen three times in one day?"
The guide's surname is Zhang, he is in his fifties, and everyone calls him Lao Zhang.
"Lao Zhang, can you tell us in detail?" Wei Zhenhui has already discovered something fishy, and the matter may not be as simple as he thought.
The eight members of their rescue team had just finished rappelling from the helicopter without putting down their equipment. Before they had time to observe the terrain and surrounding conditions, a second avalanche occurred.
In the panic, fortunately they reacted quickly and were able to save their lives.
Wei Zhenhui and Luo Cheng led the remaining six people to search for the missing 18 climbers.
After finding the target, they asked the two battalion commanders to dig upward to open a rescue road.
If three avalanches occurred, they would have to stay in the snow cave for several more hours.
Two Chinese members of the mountaineering team were slightly injured, and two older climbers from Country R had already developed symptoms of fatigue.
The situation was very urgent, and three more avalanches occurred at this time.
Lao Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, we made full preparations before setting off. The weather forecast said there would be no snowstorms in the past two days, so we just started climbing. Unexpectedly, we encountered heavy snowfall and three avalanches in two days. , This is a bit unreasonable!”
Wei Zhenhui's dark eyes flashed. He understood what Lao Zhang meant, "You mean it's man-made?"
Lao Zhang nodded, "I have grown up by this mountain since I was a child, and I know this sacred mountain better than my own family. I have never seen three avalanches in one place in such a short period of time. Besides, it's not like the snow has been falling all the time. Where did it come from? There’s no way to explain that much snow unless it’s man-made!”
Wei Zhenhui fell into deep thought. He changed to lying on his side. The snow cave was very small and could only accommodate two people passing through side by side.
He is already tall, and once his broad shoulders are spread out, he can touch the top of the snow cave.
According to what Lao Zhang said, if it is man-made, then what is their goal?
Mountaineering team?
The first time they were buried underneath, someone came to rescue them and created another avalanche.
What about the third time, will someone come to the rescue again?
Bang bang bang!
In the distance, there seemed to be gunshots and the sound of sniper rifles.
Wei Zhenhui seemed to hear gunfire outside the snow.
In order to find the mountaineering team members, eight people from Wei Zhenhui crawled down nearly 30 meters from where they were buried, and carried out a blanket search at the bottom of the valley. Only then did they find these climbers.
Even though they had all received special training, they were exhausted at this time, and Wei Zhenhui suspected that he was hearing things.
"Lao Zhang, did you hear the gunfire?" Wei Zhenhui wanted to confirm through Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang looked confused, and finally smiled bitterly, "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, are you kidding? Why are there gunshots? Are you fainting from hunger? I haven't finished this pack of biscuits. You can eat two to make up for it." "
After speaking, Lao Zhang handed the remaining biscuits to Wei Zhenhui, "Comrade, please eat some. How can you rescue us if you don't have the strength?"
The equipment of the mountaineering team had long been lost, so Wei Zhenhui and the others gave them water and food to allow them to conserve their strength.
"Lao Zhang, you keep it to eat, I'm fine. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for a while!"
