Chapter 609 The Expedition Team Encountered an Avalanche

The sky was still dark and dull, although there was a trace of whiteness, but it was almost undetectable.

The biting cold is still there. Although the protective clothing on the body is insulated from the cold, listening to the cold wind blowing outside the helmet and the frost on the mask is 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.

They are one of the expedition teams of the National Geological Expedition Program, and their task 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 a specially allocated all-terrain vehicle as a means of transportation.

It's just that when they arrived in the mountains, because of the rugged terrain of the mountains, the all-terrain vehicles couldn't drive up, so they could only leave two team members to guard the vehicles, and the others entered the mountains on foot.

Fortunately, as a geological survey team, the team members have rich experience in field surveys, and they also hiked into the mountains in the past, so they didn't think there was any problem with this.

It's just that the current environment is very different from that before the disaster. If it was 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 turned into such a icy and snowy appearance, if you are afraid of danger, then don't do anything, just stay in the shelter and wait to die.

And they are not blindly taking risks. In addition to everyone being equipped with proper protective clothing to ensure that they can survive in the wild, they are also equipped with various other equipment to deal with danger. Facing today's environment, they Although there are still certain dangers, they still have the ability to protect themselves.

"Captain, how long do we have to go?" A team member asked the expedition leader through the communicator in the protective suit.

They had been walking for more than half a day, and had already penetrated into the mountainous area, but the captain of the expedition team did not intend to stop, and still led the team forward.

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

So the captain also responded in the intercom: "We have to rush to the campsite to rest. At our current speed, we will probably have to walk for another hour. Comrades, hold on, we can rest when we arrive at the campsite. "

After the captain explained, he didn't forget to encourage everyone. In fact, he himself was very tired, but as the captain, he needs to lead his team members, so he can't complain about being tired at this time.

After all, if the captain starts complaining about being tired, how can the team members be expected to persevere?

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

Perhaps they were encouraged by the captain's statement that the campsite was ahead, and everyone's pace has been accelerated a lot. Although this may consume more energy, everyone unconsciously wants to reach the campsite earlier.

The captain didn't say much when he saw this, but he also silently quickened his pace.

After all, everyone is tied together by a rope, like a long string, if one person walks fast or slow, it will affect other people, so everyone can only move forward at the same speed.

This is also a kind of safety guarantee for advancing in places such as snow-capped mountains, glaciers, or swamps. There is a rope tied to it. Even if someone falls or falls into a pit or glacier crevasse, others can still hold him. It will not fall directly to the bottom or be directly trapped and unable to escape.

In addition to the safety rope, the members of the expedition team also have various field equipment such as locators, signal flares, and ice axes, as well as some newly produced field emergency supplies to ensure their safety in the field.

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

This is used for eating while traveling in the wild, and it is connected to a detachable container, which contains a nutritional paste similar to jelly.

When you are in the wild, if you want to open the mask to eat, in the current environment where the ambient temperature is tens of degrees below zero, you can stick your mouth and food together in an instant, and the food itself will cool down quickly , or even freeze.

Therefore, when installed on the protective clothing in this way, the heat preservation effect of the protective clothing itself can be relied on to maintain the heat, while ensuring that the food does not cool down, it is also very convenient to eat the food directly during the journey, and it will not be because it is not in the wild. It is convenient to find a place to light a fire to cook and waste time.

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

The nutrient cream contained in such a container is enough to maintain the nutrients needed by a normal adult for a day. It is also rich in water. That being said, it is practical enough.

Moreover, this nozzle can be switched to the kettle on the other side to drink warm and delicious hot water, so that people no longer want more.

A group of people walked forward quickly, relying on the assistance of the equipped exoskeleton, they finally arrived at the scheduled campsite.

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

"Compared to the huts we used to build with tree branches, the conditions are much better now!" The captain couldn't help but sigh with emotion while directing the team members to prop up the tents.

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

Even if the conditions are better and tents can be equipped, the conditions in the wild are still very difficult.

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

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

The sound was covered by the strong wind all around, and it seemed that it was difficult to hear it mixed with the whistling sound, but when the captain listened intently, he suddenly felt the vibration coming from his feet.

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

This made the captain suddenly turn pale with fright, and shouted suddenly: "There is an avalanche!"
