The Thirty-Third Chapter: Life and Death

  Hitting one's head into a snow pile is an extremely troublesome thing, no matter what the reason for the snow pile is, it always has to have some kind of protruding object, whether it's rocks or hills. Never heard of any logic that would cause snow piles to form on flat ground, Chen Ke's anxiety can be imagined.

  "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, hold on, I'm coming to save you."

  Chen Ke just now did not adopt the method of shrinking his body to dive into the snow pile, and also considered how to get out of trouble afterwards. Although curling up can indeed prevent injury, if the area of entering the snow becomes smaller, it is very likely that the body will be stuck in the deep part of the snow pile, bringing unnecessary trouble to escape.

  It seems that Xiao Xiangdong's way of crashing into the snow pile is absolutely impossible for him to get out of trouble. Don't look at the snowflakes floating lightly, when they really bury people, the pressure will not be small.

  "Xiao Xiao, you must hold on, hold on!"

  No matter whether Xiao Dongdong can still hear at this time, Chen Ke shouted loudly while digging the snow pile that buried his body. No matter whether Xiao Dongdong was injured when he fell into the snow pile, if he didn't dig him out as soon as possible, he might suffocate to death at any time. And he had no reaction to his efforts in digging the snow, which made Chen Ke even more worried.

  It can't be said that Chen Ke didn't try his best, but how could human hands possibly compare to the speed of a blizzard?

  It wasn't that he was going to dig out Chen Ke, but rather his body seemed to be buried along with Xiao Xiangdong. This was because the surroundings were too open and couldn't block the wind.

  It doesn't matter if I'm buried, but Xiao Dong's situation can't be delayed. After discovering the mistake caused by his anxiety, Chen Ke hurriedly turned his body under the snow pile and dug towards the snow pile under Xiao Dong's body with a burst of energy. He hoped to use the snow pile and Xiao Dong's body weight to dig open the supporting snow pile, allowing him to naturally fall out of the snow pile.

  "I'd rather not do something as stupid as that!"

  Shoveling snow is also a training subject that the border defense troops must practice at all times. Every time this happens, Xiao Xiangdong is always the one who shovels the most. But it's not always possible to have tools available for borrowing, and human hands are also the most primitive labor and digging tools.

  "Plop!"

  When Xiao Dong's body under the snow could no longer bear the pressure brought by him and the snow, his body also fell down with the snow.

  Chen Ke hastily dragged Xiao Xiangdong's body outwards, although he was still buried in the snow for a while, but he finally managed to drag Xiao Xiangdong's body out.

  "Xiao Xiadong, Xiao Xiadong, how are you, how are you? Answer me, answer me quickly!"

  Using his own body and a pile of snow to shield Xiao Dong from the wind and snow, Chen Ke's hands slapped Xiao Dong's face violently, shouting loudly in his mouth.

  "Kaba! Did you hear anything?"

  Although maintaining a speed of about 40 kilometers, Hu Songke did not dare to be careless in such a blizzard. Since entering the snowy mountain, the momentum of the wind and snow has also become increasingly larger. No matter what the mountainside looks like, for them and the X392 sentry post on the mountain, the blizzard has arrived.

  It's astonishing that amidst the howling wind and snow, one can still hear human voices.

  There is no completely closed car window in the world. Even if the air conditioner has been turned on inside the car, you can still feel a slight chill coming in through the gap near the window.

  "Although I couldn't quite make out what was being said, it seemed to be coming from just ahead."

  Hu Song could hear the sound, and naturally, Ka Ba couldn't miss it. When the car rumbled over a snowbank in front of them, as the accumulated snow rolled down, they also saw Chen Ke and Xiao Xiangdong not far ahead.

  The sudden sound made Chen Ke turn his head to look over, and found that the transportation team's truck had already appeared on the snow ridge two hundred meters away, and his heart was even more mixed with emotions.

  The fact that Transport Company's vehicles can appear here means that X392 sentry post has been rescued, but if something happens to Xiao Xiangdong, it will be too late for him to regret.

  Realizing his rescue method was wrong, Chen Ke no longer rushed to wake up Xiao Xiangdong. He took off the gloves from both hands, one hand reached into his neck to feel for a pulse, and the other hand probed under his nose to check for breathing.

  "What's wrong."

  After the two cars went down the snowy hill, Kabar had Hu Song stop the car first and jumped out to take a look. Whether he liked it or not, driving a heavy truck on such snowy ground was like pushing snowdrifts as they moved. They couldn't delay, but neither could they go too fast.

  "I don't know, just now our snowmobile flipped over and Xiao's head was buried in the snow. I checked that he has a pulse and is breathing, but no matter how hard I hit him, he won't wake up. Kabar, do you have any way to deal with this?"

  Although Chen Ke didn't visit the X392 outpost on Mount Everest many times, he never forgot any of the Sherpa guides who had been there. With his experience, he had no idea what Xiao Dong's situation was and had to ask for help from Kaba.

  "There's a pulse, there's breathing, but can't wake up? Is it because you didn't hit hard enough?"

  As a guide on Snow Mountain, Ka Ba has the qualification to suspect everything. As he approached Chen Ke and Xiao Xiangdong, he didn't bend down to check Xiao Xiangdong's condition, but instead kicked Xiao Xiangdong's ribs with one foot while he was lying in Chen Ke's arms.

  "Ah! Kabba, what are you doing?"

  Although Kabba was short in stature, the strength under his feet was apparently sufficient. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Chen Ke also failed to hold onto Xiao Xiangdong's body, and he was rolled out of his own arms, which also made Chen Ke anxious.

  Whether it's Xiao Dong or a class leader under him, he is now a patient in urgent need of rescue.

  "Cough, cough! Damn it, who kicked me? My head hurts."

  After rolling on the snowy ground for a while, although Xiao Dong didn't manage to get up from the ground, he coughed violently several times and then called out in a loud voice.

  "See? I told you it wasn't enough. Hurry up and get him into the car, there's air conditioning in the car, let him pay attention to keeping his head warm, we can't afford to care about him now!"

  "Swan, Dundong, come quickly and help me dig out the snowmobile."

  Ignoring Xiao Dong's complaints, Kabar scolded Chen Ke and immediately called out to Sa Wang and Dan Dong who were running over to help. Sa Wang and Dan Dong were new recruits after all, not professional auto soldiers, they didn't know that someone should be left to guard the vehicle.

  But Kabba doesn't care about that now, and instead takes advantage of the crowd to dig out the snowmobile first, after all, the snowmobile that fell on the snowy ground has blocked the way for the vehicle to move forward.
