Mount Qomolangma, the snowy slope in the north depression.
In just a few minutes, everyone completed the construction of the bridge ladder.
After Leng Feng successfully reached the other side, he began to reinforce the other end of the bridge ladder.
With that, everyone could start crossing the bridge.
Qu Dazhou, who had rested for a while, saw that the bridge ladder had been set up. He stood up and said through the wireless headset.
"From here onwards, we must tie the Ice Claws!”
" Because the biggest slope of the North Hollow's snow slope is over 70 degrees."
"The snow is slippery and it's extremely easy to fall."
"And this section will be the most dangerous avalanche landslide area."
"Everyone must remain silent."
"I have to climb a thousand meters in one breath. I can't stop."
"The longer we stay, the more dangerous we are."
"After climbing to the top of the slope at an altitude of 7082 meters, the famous wind vent is just above the top."
"Which means that from now on,"
"We have officially started climbing Mount Everest!”
Everyone listened to Qu Dazhou's introduction and the majestic snowy slope in front of them.
His heart was also surging.
Among the thirteen people, not a single one showed fear.
On the contrary, everyone was filled with anticipation and courage to conquer the mountains.
That gaze was even more eager than seeing a beautiful girl.
Tang Chen helped Qu Dazhou up and asked.
"Teacher Qu, why don't we rest for half an hour?”
Qu Dazhou quickly waved his hand.
"Nothing serious."
"Although I can't compare to you youngsters."
"But I'm also someone who's climbed Mount Everest nine times."
"This difficulty can be overcome!"
When Tang Chen heard this, he knew that he was a little reluctant.
But time waited for no one.
He had to start moving as soon as possible.
The life of the scientific expedition team members on the second step of Mount Qomolangma was gone by one minute.
Thus, Tang Chen decisively ordered.
"Everyone!"
"Tie the Ice Claws!"
"Prepare to cross the ice crack and climb the snowy slope of the northern depression!”
The team members shouted in unison.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately after, everyone began to take out their Ice Claws from their inventory.
Tang Chen's company was equipped with the largest 14-toothed ice claw, which could bring great grip strength and tension.
However, if it was not used properly, it was easy to fall.
It required the user's leg strength and control skills to be extremely high.
However, only this kind of Ice Claw could deal with the North Cove's Snowy Slope, which was known as the Slope of Death.
Everyone quickly put on their equipment.
Tang Chen had just tied the ice claw to stand up when the sharp teeth of the nail pierced into the snow.
He could stand in place without moving, but it was also quite inconvenient for him to move.
He had to lift his foot and pull the ice claw out of the snow, step by step.
Under Tang Chen's control, the team members began to cross the frozen crack one by one.
With Tang Chen and Leng Feng's protection, everyone safely passed through the ice abyss that was more than ten meters long at their fastest speed.
When only Tang Chen was left.
He took out the nail that was used to stabilize the bridge.
Because the ladder bridge would continue to be used later, it could not be left empty.
After all the finishing touches were done.
Tang Chen quickly crossed the bridge.
Then, everyone began to put the ladder back into their backpacks.
After the equipment was reorganized, everyone looked up at the snowy slope in the north.
The climb officially began!
At this moment, in the emergency rescue headquarters.
Meteorologist Ms. Zhang said through monitoring the wind.
" The wind speed on the snowy slope of the northern depression is increasing."
"Current speed: 17.1m/s"
"The highest wind speed is estimated to be at 23.1m/s in 45 minutes."
"Emergency rescue, please be alert to the situation at the top of the slope."
" If you can't complete the climb within 45 minutes,"
"We have to find a place to avoid the strong wind!”
The communicator immediately transmitted the situation to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen replied with a 'Roger' and resolutely began the climb.
According to the normal climbing process of Mount Qomolangma.
There should be a group of advance teams setting off in advance.
In the ice cracks, snow slopes, and other places, bridge ladders and safety ropes were laid.
They even had to set up a camp in the safety zone in advance.
However, when Tang Chen and the others received the mission, the situation was urgent.
There was no time to prepare.
All the other climbers were pulling the safety rope and climbing up with all their strength.
As for Tang Chen and the others, they could only use their ice axes to assist.
As he climbed, he used the ice axe to hook into the rock and soil, borrowing the strength to climb up.
Furthermore, the most commonly used head and tail formation couldn't be used.
This was because the people on top might step on the rocks when climbing.
If it hit the head of the teammate behind him.
If that happened, his teammates would be injured.
Therefore, Tang Chen decided to line up on the left side of the snowy slope.
He was in the middle while Leng Feng was at the outermost.
He took care of everyone to the greatest extent.
The formation was completed.
Many of the people on the far left took the lead and began to climb the hill.
The initial angle of the snowy slope was not very steep, so everyone could still move up step by step with their feet tied to the ice claws.
Just like that, the entire emergency rescue team went into action.
They were officially climbing the snowy slope of the North Cove!
The ice claw stepped on the snow and made a cracking sound.
Everyone kept their mouths shut.
Other than the sound of the wind, there was only the sound of breathing.
This was because even the slightest movement could cause a butterfly effect and cause a huge avalanche.
Everyone was climbing.
Apart from his gaze.
From time to time, one could see human limbs and broken bones exposed on the snow.
These corpses had either their hands or their heads outside.
The rest of the body was buried by the snow.
Because of the Negative Ice Freeze.
It looked bloodless but incomparably fresh.
Many of his hands started to tremble. This was the first time he had seen so many frozen corpses.
It was as if he had entered the Snow Cemetery, making people feel cold and gloomy.
The headquarters and the station's war room.
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the screen, afraid that there would be any accidents.
Fortunately, about twenty minutes later.
The group had already climbed to three-quarters of the height of the snowy slope in the north.
Above that was a rock wall above 70 degrees.
Tang Chen stopped climbing and raised his right hand into a fist.
He signaled for everyone to stop climbing.
The other twelve members stopped moving at the same time, quietly looking at Tang Chen and waiting for instructions.
As they got closer and closer to the wind, the howling of the wind above their heads became louder and louder.
It was as if a huge wind dragon was swimming above his head.
Tang Chen's sharp hearing detected that something was wrong.
The slight sound of cracks and loosening made Tang Chen instantly vigilant.
His right hand immediately changed from a fist to a palm and slowly pressed down.
Then, he pointed down the slope.
It meant that all his teammates would retreat, and Tang Chen would stay behind to continue climbing.
Everyone looked at him in surprise and confusion.
It was as if he couldn't understand why the wind was blowing so fast when victory was in sight.
Tang Chen ordered them to retreat immediately.
There was only one possibility.
A huge avalanche was about to happen…
Qiu Yun, who was always smiling, had a serious expression on his face. He knew that his captain never joked.
The more dangerous the moment, the more trustworthy the captain was.
Hence, Qiu Yun and the soldiers of the border guard companies began to move their bodies down bit by bit.
Retreat as gently as possible.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down.
Going down the slope against his body was quite troublesome and time-consuming.
Qu Dazhou and Leng Feng remained motionless.
Especially Qu Dazhou, who was staring at Tang Chen with a pair of surprised eyes.
He seemed to be saying.
"I, Qu Dazhou, will not retreat even if I die here!”
Because he was about to reach the top, it was worth it to take the risk.
What Leng Feng didn't understand was that he felt that Tang Chen's judgment was too hasty.
Without any evidence, everyone's efforts to climb for so long were in vain.
This was really hard to accept.
Moreover, Leng Feng was confident enough to climb up safely.
This was his confidence as the captain of the Snow Wolf Special Forces!
At the same time.
When the old general saw that the assault team had begun to retreat, his eyes were calm.
He completely trusted Tang Chen's judgment and decision.
Although the snowy slope of the northern depression now looked like a shy and quiet girl.
However, perhaps he could really turn against her faster than flipping a book.
The expert group had thought that they should wait for four hours.
Now, they only retreated after climbing three-quarters of the way.
Although it was a pity, it was a wise move.
However, the experts were unable to predict when the avalanche would occur.
He could only adopt the most conservative method.
Wait!
At this moment.
The emergency rescue team, which was still at the top of the snowy slope in the northern depression, was in a stalemate.
Tang Chen saw that the two of them did not understand his orders, but he could not explain.
He could only make a hand gesture to tell them that the avalanche was coming.
They had to find shelter.
However, would an ordinary snow peak really cause an avalanche?
Just as they were hesitating.
An eye-catching crack suddenly appeared on the white-cloth-like top of the slope.
The crack instantly elongated and expanded, tearing apart the entire snow cloth.
The snowy slope was like a huge mouth that was about to swallow the people on the slope!
Rumble...
Countless pieces of snow rolled down the almost vertical rock wall.
Snow splashed above Tang Chen and the others.
Everyone in the assault team looked up.
He was greatly shocked!
Great Avalanche!
It really came!
