Chapter 119 Reaching the End of Patrol

This glacier is more than 100 meters long and has a slope of about [-] degrees. Because the ice 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 to see if he could climb up it purely by hands and feet without using a pickaxe.

Squad leader 8 saw Lin Yi jump directly onto the ice, and then moved forward slowly with his body squirming, not in a hurry to keep up. It wasn't that squad leader 8 was not in a hurry, but because he knew that he couldn't climb up without a pickaxe.

Even if the whole body is lying on the ice, it will not be able to wriggle for a long distance. It is easier to climb the first 20 meters, and after the next 100 meters, the ice will slide to the extent that you can climb one step and retreat three steps.

After Lin Yi exhausted his physical strength, he would inevitably slide back to the starting point, and there would be almost no second result.

When Lin Yi first climbed, he felt quite relaxed. Although climbing up was very tiring and the ice was slippery, but because he was lying on the ice, after climbing more than ten meters, he only needed to spread his legs to increase the friction. , You can even slow down for 2 minutes and take a break.

But after climbing 20 meters, he suddenly found that the next ice surface was too slippery.

As for the small advance hole that the patrol members dug with a pickaxe yesterday, it was so round that they couldn't pick it with their fingers, and it was probably blown like this by the wind.

Because of altitude sickness, Lin Yi's physical strength gradually couldn't keep up. On this smooth ice surface, Lin Yi knew that it would be futile to persevere, so he had no choice but to let go of his hands and fall naturally.

When squad leader 8 saw it, he shouted, "After five seconds, spread your legs to increase the friction, so 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 skating five meters away from the starting point, he spread his legs to slow down.

Squad 8 and several other team members raised their hands and caught Lin Yi steadily.

Lin Yi originally wanted to try his best, but found that many experiences in the plains were not applicable to the plateau, so he smiled awkwardly, "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 mine."

Squad leader 8's crawling speed is very fast. After the pick is knocked down, he can climb at least half a meter. The most important thing is that the endurance of squad leader 8 is somewhat beyond Lin Yi's imagination.

Because Lin Yi had climbed just now, he knew very well that with his physical strength, even if he couldn't meet the smooth ice behind him, he could only climb about [-] meters at most.

But the squad leader of No. 8 climbed about 50 meters in just a short while, and the speed was a bit scary.

Xiao Wang opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Lin Yi, and smiled, "Platoon Leader Lin, when I first saw Squad 8 climbing the glacier, I was more surprised than you. I was even thinking at the time, Squad 8 is It wasn’t a monkey that changed, how could it climb so fast.”

"It was only later that I realized that squad leader 8 climbed very slowly at the beginning, but after ten years of climbing, this road was too easy for him. Even with his eyes closed, he knew that he was on this slippery ice. , what points can we work on.”

Lin Yi nodded, "Ten years, yes, without ten years of experience, it is really difficult to conquer this road."

Ten minutes later, squad leader 10 had already climbed to the top of the glacier. Because there was no place to tie a rope, squad leader 8 sat on the ground directly with the rope tied around his waist, kicked his legs on the ground, and shouted: "Climb."

Several people heard the shout of squad leader No. 8, and immediately began to climb up with the rope. Lin Yi fell to the end because of lack of strength.

At this moment, Lin Yi looked at Xiao Wang and pointed to Alu, "How can Alu go up?"

Xiao Wang waved his hand, "Alu can't go up, the ice is too slippery, this is not the way he can walk, don't worry, he won't run around, he is used to it."

"After we cross the glacier, we will be able to climb to the top of the mountain soon, and we will come back after seeing whether the markers have been moved. The whole journey will not take more than half an hour."

Lin Yi looked at Alu at this time, and could clearly see that it was restless, probably because of the smell of wolves that made it uneasy.

Because the eagle eye skill has discovered the location of the wolf pack, it can now be seen even with the scout skill.

The wolves didn't get close to the patrol route, and most of them knew that they couldn't get too close, or they would become targets.

At a distance of two kilometers, the wolves should not be able to move. After all, they didn’t move very far in the past ten minutes. When they reached the glacier, it would only take half an hour to go back and forth. Alu stayed here, probably It's all right.

Xiao Wang's movements were very neat, and he climbed more than 30 meters in a short while. Lin Yi knew that he could not waste time, and touched Alu's head, "Bite on the leash by yourself, and if you find something is wrong, don't wait here. You can run as long as you can." How far to run."

Alu is really very human. When he saw Lin Yi put the leash on the ground, he took the initiative to pick it up.

Lin Yi didn't waste time, grabbed the rope and climbed up. Although the ice surface was still slippery, but there was a rope to work hard on, and he quickly climbed up.

After all, when climbing this kind of ice surface, with a rope, as long as you know a little skill, you can save a lot of effort.

In less than 10 minutes, Lin Yi climbed up without panting, which surprised the squad leader of No. 8, "Platoon leader Lin, your speed is a bit beyond my expectation. It is the first time to climb a glacier. Climbing so fast, the foundation is really good."

Lin Yi didn't dare to play tricks, "Squad 8, don't praise me, I know how much I weigh. Let's go, get to the mountain early and come back early, I'm always a little worried about Alu."

Squad 8 also nodded, "Alu is too loyal. When there is a blizzard, he would rather be covered by snow than enter the guard post. I have observed the pack of wolves two kilometers away, and he probably would not attack Alu. Lu, Alu only has a lot of meat, if you bite him, your family will be exterminated, it is better to bite the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen, there is more meat and it is safer."

Everyone, don’t think that attacking Aru and being exterminated is a joke. Alu is also a military dog. The military dog ​​is our soldier. If he is killed by wolves, the people at the post will not let the wolves pay back ten times and twenty times , that doesn't work.

As for the fact that the military dog ​​was bitten to death by wolves at night, there were no fewer wolves behind the soldiers at the outpost. In the year it was done, there was no sign of wolves around the outpost.

Several members of the patrol team accelerated 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 of the road still required hands and feet, compared with the glacier just now, this section of the road was the best. Touching the solid gravel, his steps became brisk.

After 15 minutes, everyone went up to the top of the hill. The squad leader of No. 8 pointed to the five-pointed star piled up in front of him, and said, "This is our end point. The five-pointed star has not been moved, which proves that no one has come. Communication soldier, report group commander Department, the 8th squad reached the end of the patrol, the situation is normal, ready to return to the post."
