So he quickly sent a signal to the people above, telling them that there was danger below and asking them not to act rashly.
After receiving the signal, the people above did not move for a long time. I guess they were blinded and did not know what kind of danger could exist deep in the ice crevice.
After a while, a rope came down, which was obviously used to save us.
I had an idea and formed a code by pulling the rope, telling them that there were dead bodies deep in the crevasse and asking them not to come down yet.
In that special year and year, countering enemy agents was a compulsory course for soldiers. Our company had a specific communication method, which was improved by using Morse code.
I thought this was unnecessary, but I didn't expect it to be used today.
After sending the signal, Lang Qing and he observed the figures reflected on the ice wall.
Those shadows are still slightly blurry, and it is obvious that there is still a certain depth in the ice wall.
Unlike Lang Qing, I had been involved in sports in my hometown for so many years before I became a soldier, and I had long ignored the evil spirits and monsters.
The situation in front of me gave me only one feeling, which was weird, but without the slightest fear, so I asked: "Old Wolf, what does it mean to seal the devil's land?"
Lang Qing looked like he was lost in his thoughts. While looking at the ice wall intently, he told me in a faint tone: "The legendary ancient Kunlun is a land of quick treasures. The gods and demons are interested in it. Naturally, so are the demons.
Therefore, in a battle between gods and demons, the ancestor of gods sealed endless demons deep in ancient Kunlun."
I thought in my heart that the ancestor of gods, isn't that the Yellow Emperor?
Before I could ask the second question, I felt something unusual coming from behind. When I looked back, I saw four figures already climbing up the ice wall - the people above actually climbed down along the rope.
I was shocked. I didn't expect that they still came down despite the danger signal.
The ice wall in front had a slope. After walking a third of the way, the person on the rope simply held the rope in his hand and slid down the sloped ice wall.
Ten minutes later, four soldiers, including Lao Hei, had reached the bottom of the ice crevice. What surprised me even more was that the king worker was among the four.
I was wondering in my heart, if the squad leader and the two of them were here to rescue, then why did the king worker come down here for a visit?
Lao Hei also noticed Lang Qing's distraught appearance and asked, "Is this kid possessed by an evil spirit? Why does he seem to have lost his soul?"
I said: "The leaders don't want to promote superstition. This comrade was stunned by the beautiful scenery of Qilian Mountain."
After saying that, he shined the light of the flashlight towards the ice wall.
Under the light, the shadow reflected on the wall was so obvious that they had already noticed it without my introduction.
At this time, even the squad leader was shocked: "Grandma, what are these things?"
Anyway, it was the king worker, with a look of excitement on his face: "Well, we've finally found it (we finally found it)."
I was stunned after hearing this, thinking to myself, isn’t he here for geological exploration? Why is he so interested in the ghosts on the ice wall? There is something wrong with this.
But now is not the time to worry so much, I secretly gave Lao Hei a wink and told him to leave here quickly to be serious.
This place always gives me a weird and eerie feeling. It's an ominous place, so it's best to leave as soon as possible.
But I don’t know whether it was because the light here was too dark or because Lao Hei did it intentionally. He actually turned a blind eye to my hint.
In those days, people were politically sensitive, let alone those who came out of the army. Without the squad leader's order, it was hard for others to say anything.
I raised my eyes and glanced at Lang Qing. His eyes no longer had the fearful look before, but the piety still appeared and disappeared on his face.
Obviously it is not easy for him to change his deep-rooted ideas in a short period of time.
On the other hand, Wang Gong could no longer hide the excitement in his eyes.
The squad leader coughed slightly: "Wang Gong, do you see?"
"Dig it up (dig it down)." Due to his excitement, Wang Gong's accent was so strong that we could hardly understand him.
However, Lao Hei understood this and waved his hand: "Get these crappy things out for me."
As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly understood that Wang Gong and the others' entry into the Qilian Mountains might be more than just geological exploration.
But at that time, I firmly believed that it was the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Since the squad leader gave orders, we just had to carry them out and we had no control over the oddities involved.
The squad leader gave a signal to the superiors not to worry and immediately ordered action.
After all, our camping bag is always with us. Even in this environment, we still have no shortage of tools.
This is a thousand-year-old glacier. Especially at this low temperature, the hardness of the ice is comparable to that of pig iron.
The folding shovels of several of us hit it, which made our hands hurt, and we could only make a few white marks.
"Squad leader, this can't work. If we keep digging like this, we won't be able to dig it out even for a year. How about we go back to get the equipment and dig again later." Although I don't understand the inside story, I feel uncomfortable staying in this place.
I feel comfortable, so I instinctively escape here.
Just as the squad leader was about to speak, Worker Wang shouted: "No (no)."
What he said was categorical, leaving no room for negotiation. Even the squad leader was stunned for a moment, not understanding that this Wang Gong, who had not been very talkative all the way, suddenly became so strong.
After Wang Gong finished speaking, without waiting for our reaction, he took out a huge water bottle from his military bag.
I have seen this thing before. He kept it in his bag like a treasure and never took a sip.
I saw Wang Gong brushing the water from the kettle on the ice wall with a small brush. In an instant, a strong smell of ginger came.
My eyes widened, and then I realized that the kettle was not water at all, but ginger juice.
After applying it, Wang Gong said coldly: "Interest calculation (continue)."
The folding shovel hit it again, and sure enough, the hardness of the ice wall had dropped a lot. After a while, we knocked off a large piece.
In this way, every once in a while, Wang Gong would smear ginger juice on the ice wall, and we would take the opportunity to dig a piece in.
Half an hour later, those figures were clearly visible.
After applying the ginger juice for the last time, I knocked out a piece of crushed ice with a shovel, and there were already a few strands of hair in it.
Before I could react, Wang Gong behind me pushed me away and glared at me fiercely.
I was so angry in my heart that I said, old boy, if you weren't an outsider, I would have beaten you long ago.
The soldiers of those days were special, they were not afraid of hardship or death, but you couldn't make them feel that they were inferior, otherwise they might give up.
