Chapter 390 Lava
"Hahaha, this guy is finally gone. I knew it. If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet."
The lights on the Shark Company floor were bright. Employees who were doing daily server maintenance and monitoring were startled when they heard loud laughter coming from the office. They didn't know why their boss was so happy all of a sudden.
Employee A looked at B with envy, pointed at the office door and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"
Little B was putting on makeup and rolled her eyes when she heard this: "How would I know that? Xiao Mi is pregnant?"
"Puchi, you are so funny." Little A laughed.
Little B closed the makeup mirror and said, "You look so happy, you must have made some money."
"I'm so envious. I wonder if they will give us a bonus."
"You're out of your mind." Little B poked Little A on the forehead, "Give you a bonus? Why don't you expect to find money on the road? Have you finished the document you sent last time? If you don't, you will have to work overtime today and won't be able to go home until 8 o'clock!"
"I get angry when I talk about this. I won't work the night shift anymore. Sleeping during the day and working at night is not what a human being should do."
Little A yawned and looked sad, but a burst of laughter came from the office. She went forward with a cup of water, then quietly came to the front of the office and pricked up her ears.
"Boss Yan, good news, great news. If we do this and that... this and that... we will definitely be able to take over this market!"
"Boss Li has a good plan. God is really helping me!"
…
"Damn it, this kid really makes me worry. He was just playing around, and now something bad has happened." Yao Xuehui's face turned red. He was an old man, and was shocked to hear the bad news in the middle of the night. Who the hell could he go to for justice?
"What's the point of saying this now? The most urgent thing is to save people!"
"Help, help, help! Do you think I don't want to? How can I save him? I can't grow wings and fly over!"
"Then he is your son too!"
"Don't I know he is my son? Can't you see I am trying to find a solution?" Yao Xuehui was obviously very angry. It was unclear whether he was worried or angry. After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the phone and made the nth call.
Thousands of miles away, a shrill telephone ring woke Lin Chang from his sleep.
Fumbling to turn on the cabinet light, Lin Chang glanced at his phone. It was his assistant.
"What happened?" Lin Chang pinched his brows, his tone a little tired, but not angry. He knew that unless it was an urgent matter, his assistant would not call him in the middle of the night.
"Boss, something happened to Mr. Yao and Mr. Bi. Please take a look at the documents I sent."
"Yao Jun and Bifang?" Lin Chang was still a little confused. "Didn't they go to climb Mount Everest? Have they reached the summit?"
"No, Boss. There was an avalanche on Mount Everest. They are all buried underneath!"
"What?"
Lin Chang suddenly sat up from the bed, hung up the phone, found the video sent by his assistant, and quickly clicked on it.
In the pitch-black night, a light grey torrent swept across the earth, leaving smoke and dust everywhere it passed. In less than ten seconds, the video was completely disconnected.
Lin Chang immediately got up from the bed and called his assistant while getting dressed: "Is there anyone in the technical department? Have you checked the location? Is there a signal? Can you find them? Has the rescue work started?"
Not long ago, Lin Changgang gave a mobile phone to Yao Jun and Bifang respectively. It is a limited special edition, a joint product with AGM, and is not sold to the public. The advantage is that it is extremely durable and can make satellite calls. Once it detects that the population density is at a certain level and in a specific area, the system will automatically start data detection, track recording and original route navigation. It even has a VOC air detection sensor that can detect VOC volatile gases.
"Someone is there. We have found the signal location. Mr. Yao's car was on, but Mr. Bi's was not. However, according to the video content, the two were not too far away. It is not known whether rescue work has been carried out. From the time of the incident to now, less than three minutes have passed. They may not have reacted yet ."
"Then let them react, Nepal, Nepal, is our company cooperating with them recently?"
"Yes, we have cooperation with their state-owned operators. We occupy 70% of their market, but it may not be feasible to put pressure on them through this." The assistant hesitated as he flipped through the report. "Although I know that Mr. Bi and Mr. Yao are your friends, I still need to calm down."
"I know. Of course, the cooperation cannot be terminated. The company is not mine alone. It would be too complicated." Lin Chang pinched his brows. "Are there no other simpler projects?"
The assistant understood what he meant, flipped through the documents, and said affirmatively: "Yes, it is a future seed project, a social responsibility public welfare project on talent circulation."
"Then this one."
“Understand that if the rescue efforts are not in place, our cooperation with them will be delayed indefinitely.”
Lin Chang snorted and was about to hang up the phone when the assistant on the other end exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Bi is starting a live broadcast!"
…
Cold, bitingly cold.
Bifang felt as if his body was getting colder inch by inch, his soul seemed to be pulled out of his body, and boundless darkness descended from the sky and enveloped him.
what happened?
Why am I here?
It’s cold. Very cold.
Is it snow? It’s snow! Avalanche! I’m in an avalanche!
Bifang suddenly woke up, he opened his eyes, the snow soaked them, it was so cold that it seemed like it would freeze his eyeballs, the world was dark and silent.
He opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, but his mouth was already filled with dry snow. Bifang resisted the urge to cough to prevent more snowflakes from entering.
The dry snow in his mouth melted rapidly, and the biting cold was about to freeze Bifang's mouth, but the cold water flowing through his throat forced him to calm down. Even the white air he breathed was completely absorbed by the snow and gradually melted into ice water.
Bifang tried to move his fingers, and his knuckles made a crisp sound, like an old gear being re-oiled and turned.
He tried to curl his hands and clench his fists, and he felt something in his body. He felt the cold and wet ground beneath him. His arm seemed to be sprained and in constant pain. It could also be a muscle strain. Bifang recalled the last scene before the avalanche. He was carrying Atenburg on his back and dragging a young man. Instinctively, his brain almost let go of the protection of his body.
Oh, and there are others!
Bifang suddenly thought of Rob, Yao Jun and others. Fortunately, at the last moment, Bifang saw everyone following him to the bottom of the Yingtou Ice Slope, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
But the lack of oxygen and low temperature in the plateau will be fatal, so I have to get them out as soon as possible.
Normally, for people buried after an avalanche, if they are found within 15 minutes, the survival rate can reach 90%. If it exceeds 45 minutes, the survival rate is only 20%-30%. In this situation, the fifteen minutes must be discounted by at least half, not to mention that Bifang didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and there was not much time left.
Thinking of this, Bifang still tried his best to move, like a long wriggling worm. This was much more difficult than the last demonstration. Last time, Bifang buried himself in Mohe in order to demonstrate how to save himself in an avalanche. But at that time he was only buried shallowly, which was completely different from the real situation now. The snow on his body was thick and heavy, which made it very difficult for Bifang to move.
Wait, a demo?
The scarcity of oxygen and the tense atmosphere made Bifang a little dazed. It took him a long time to remember one thing: where did the drone go?
Soon, Bifang saw his own live broadcast room through the first-person perspective. In the darkness, the light of text coming from the live broadcast room brought Bifang some comfort.
The live broadcast room was completely in chaos at this time. The feeling of delayed news was terrible. If parents agreed to buy the toy they had always wanted, but found out that the courier would not arrive until a week later.
[Fang Shen, my Fang Shen, woo woo woo]
[The phone call is not going through]
[Nonsense, with tens of thousands of people, the phone lines are all over the place, it would be strange if they can get through]
【Hope everyone is OK】
[Where did this huge avalanche start? The entire Everest will not be flooded, right? There are so many people at the base camp...are they all dead? ]
[My Nepali friend said that an avalanche only occurred in the Khumbu Glacier...]
[Wasn’t that Withers also in the Khumbu Glacier? Was he also buried there?]
[Fang Shen cannot be insulted! ]
Seeing the fans' comments, Bifang felt touched for some reason, but soon the next comment caught his attention.
[Yao Jun has also been buried, his father must be going crazy with anxiety? It will be on the hot search tomorrow]
[Already on, brother]
[The Sir has also been ignored, he is so old...]
We have to escape quickly!
Thinking of this, Bifang quickened his crawling speed. Snow was different from soil in that there were large gaps in the snow layer. As he moved, a space of less than a few centimeters was soon created around Bifang. With the space, the next action became faster. Bifang moved his arms, slowly placed them on his chest, and then to his mouth and nose, pushing upwards with all his strength, and soon created a fist-sized space. Then he crossed his arms and pushed upwards together.
Snow also contains life-saving oxygen. Ideally, if you are buried and prop up your arms to create a breathing space, you can effectively prolong your survival time.
After pushing open a piece of space, Bifang took a deep breath into the small space, and soon his still dizzy brain became completely clear.
At this time, Bifang's face was almost frozen purple, but fortunately he was wearing gloves, otherwise he might have been frozen to death.
With oxygen, Bifang accumulated a little saliva in his mouth. Through the saliva, he immediately determined the direction of the ground, which was right in front of him. With the direction, he had a goal to escape.
If you are buried in the snow, you must struggle to break out of the snow as soon as possible. The longer the time, the harder the snow will become and the lower the chance of escape will be. The snowflakes will freeze together. This is why the snow on the top of the mountain will only collapse when stimulated, and not at other times. Only when struggling is futile should you stop, maintain your physical strength, wait for rescue, and call for help loudly.
But at this time Bifang did not save himself. He turned his body and continued to dig downwards!
Are you crazy?
Bifang was sure that his brain was fine, and he remembered clearly that when the avalanche occurred, he pulled the Lord and another young man under him, and they were connected by ropes, so they must be nearby!
Even if he could get out, he would definitely waste a lot of time. He would then have to come back and dig up the others, which would take at least a few minutes. By then, the others might be able to hold on, but the elderly Attenborough didn't have that time!
Bifang grabbed the rope around his waist, chose one end, and followed the direction of the rope, using his palms to dig the snow in front of him backwards little by little. The gaps in the snow were constantly squeezed, and the space Bifang could move in became larger and larger. Before long, Bifang could even move his arms to a large extent!
The result of digging the hole was very gratifying. Bifang estimated that he had dug for about three minutes. After he had almost cleared a spherical space around himself, he dug out a person!
In the darkness, Bifang grabbed the man by the rope, wiped all the snow off his face, then took off his gloves and touched him.
It's that Sherpa!
At the two ends of the rope, one end was the Sherpa young man, and the other end was Attenborough. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, Bifang could feel through touch that the guy he dug out didn't have too many wrinkles on his face!
It's too late to continue digging.
Time waits for no one. Bifang stroked him in the dark and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
One, two, three times.
Bifang felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult. The large movements consumed a large amount of the remaining oxygen in the air. It was already a high altitude, and the scarce oxygen made Bifang feel a little dizzy.
The snow in the man's mouth gradually melted under the action of body temperature, and finally, with the help of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the young Sherpa woke up.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
Opening his eyes and looking at the darkness in front of him, three questions flashed through the young man's mind, but like a revolving lantern, he quickly recalled what he had experienced.
It's an avalanche!
Having grown up at the foot of Mount Everest, Tenzin had heard of avalanches countless times. Even when he was in junior high school, there was a major earthquake that caused an avalanche on the entire Mount Everest. He had witnessed with his own eyes the vast expanse of white snow sliding down the entire mountain, as if the Goddess Peak was emerging from the ground and shaking off the dust on its body. But Tenzin had never thought that he would actually encounter one!
"Ahem, how are you? Can you move? Are you hurt?" Bifang coughed twice and asked quickly.
Tenzin turned around after hearing the voice. Although it was dark all around and he couldn't see anything, he quickly understood who saved him through the voice and immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for saving me."
"I don't have time to say thank you." Bifang stuffed the other end of the rope in his hand into Tenzin's arms, "Move as soon as you can, follow this rope to save people, be quick, you should have an oxygen tank, use the oxygen tank, don't fight with me for oxygen."
After saying that, Bi Fang lay down weakly to calm his violently beating heart.
"Oxygen cylinder. Yes, oxygen cylinder." After hearing Bifang's words, Tenzin clearly felt that the oxygen content in the air was decreasing. He immediately took out an oxygen cylinder from his arms and wanted to hand it to Bifang, but was pushed away.
"I don't want it, you use it yourself. I said I want to reach the summit without oxygen."
Tenzin was deeply shocked. He tried to dissuade him, but he couldn't say the words.
Although he was buried deep under the snow, he seemed to be wrapped in a fighting spirit as strong as molten lava.
