Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 649 Avalanche

Chapter 649 Avalanche

The next morning, Shen Yanming and his friends had some food and went out.

Li Gangtie divided the tasks and dispersed the people, including the fields and mountains in the village, which had to be checked once.

When they were clearing the road yesterday, they discovered that the ice lumps had obviously shrunk in size.

They used to be the size of eggs, but now they are only the size of ping-pong balls.

We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, it will be only the size of a fingernail. By then, we won't be able to find it anymore.

Li Gangtie was familiar with Shen Yanming because they had frequent contact with each other, so he took him, Yu Shui, Chen Qing, and another person he was not so familiar with, Yuan Jiasi, to the bottom of the ditch.

Sigou Village, Sigou Village, from the name you can tell that there are four ditches. All are at the foot of the mountain, with deep snow.

A few people were a little hesitant, feeling that this location was not very safe.

But Li Gangtie said, "We can't just not go down when we know there's something here."

Since the captain has said so, what can they do but follow him.

Several people prayed in their hearts, hoping that the journey would be safe.

Even Li Gangtie was nervous.

On the one hand, I was worried that something might really happen at the bottom of the ditch.

On the other hand, if you look up at the mountain, it is quite small and not very high. If you look down at the land, it is fairly flat, just a little low.

I don't think it's much different from other places. I'll just rock it left and right, and it shouldn't be a problem.

"Well, everyone, be alert, let's quickly check it out and then retreat." Li Gangtie said.

Several people nodded, all a little nervous. They were so focused that they naturally had no time to talk.

Each person went in a different direction and started looking for ice lumps. When the bags were full, they were placed at the intersection and finally transported back together.

After going back and forth a few times, we found that nothing was wrong and everyone relaxed a little.

But at this moment, the snow on the mountain, along with the rocks and dead trees, began to fall down, and it looked like they were going to bury people alive!

"Run!" Li Gangtie shouted and ran in a certain direction.

Seeing this, several people hurried to catch up with Li Gangtie, but the snow here was too deep and they couldn't run at all.

But they still ran as hard as they could.

Comrade Lao Shen was not in a hurry. He had his own space and would not freeze or starve to death.

But the others were different. They ran and cried until their legs became weak.

The first thing Li Gangtie did when he arrived here was to observe the terrain and he discovered a cave at the foot of the mountain.

With one stride, he ran into the cave, then turned around and pulled Shen Yanming in.

After them came Yu Shui and Chen Qing.

But when he met Yuan Jiasi, he ran into some trouble. He was a little slow, and the lower half of his body was buried in the snow.

Yuan Jiasi cried so hard that he almost lost his soul. Li Gangtie did not comfort him and quickly used his hands to push the snow off his legs.

Shen Yanming also came to help. Yu Shui and Chen Qing were still unconscious and sat on the ground unable to move.

The two of them took a lot of effort to pull Yuan Jiasi into the cave, but he was still crying.

The crying was annoying, so Li Gangtie said, "Stop crying, it's not a big deal!"

This aroused Yuan Jiasi's anger. He wiped his tears and yelled at Li Gangtie, "It's not a big deal even if it means death. I didn't agree to go to the bottom of the ditch to look for ice lumps this morning. It was you who forced us to come here.

Look, everyone is buried now, and it's unclear whether they can survive. You yell at me, what qualifications do you have to yell at me? "

Li Gangtie felt a little guilty about the accident.

But after hearing this, he did not back down at all. He looked into Yuan Jiasi's eyes and asked, "When you came to the guard team, didn't you know what kind of situation you would face? When you enjoyed the benefits of a guard, didn't you know what price you had to pay?

If you don't know, I can tell you now. If you don't want to, I will remove you from the list when I return."

Li Gangtie got angry and Yuan Jiasi stood there in a daze.

After listening to him, I regained my composure. I said aggrievedly, "I was just scared, so I said something I didn't think of."

Li Gangtie sighed: "I made a wrong decision today and I need to take most of the responsibility. I'm sorry!

But, look at the people behind me, none of them cried or complained. It was also the first time for them to face life-threatening situations, but they all managed to stay calm and try to save themselves.

Yuan Jiasi, today is an accident, but every day in the future may be more dangerous than today. You need to adjust your mindset."

Yuan Jiasi nodded and sniffed, "I know, I was just too scared."

"Well, you talk as if everyone is scared. Look at me and Chen Qing, we are so scared that we can't even stand up." Yu Shui waved his hand and said.

"Yeah, at that moment just now, I really thought I was going to die. Fortunately, I exercise regularly, so I still have the strength to run over." Chen Qing said with some fear.

"For me, it was purely a stress reaction. If Captain Li hadn't dragged me out for a run every morning, I would have been buried in the snow long ago."

Yuan Jiasi looked at the others and asked in confusion, "Did you all attend the morning training?"

"Ah, what else?"

"Yeah, what's the situation now? If you don't learn some self-defense skills, you never know when you'll lose your life."

Yu Shui pointed at Shen Yanming and said, "See, Lao Shen, he is an outstanding student in our morning training class. He is obviously farther away than me, but he can run ahead of me. If you say it's not because of his persistent training, I don't believe it!"

Yuan Jiasi thought about this experience. He was clearly following Li Gangtie and reacted immediately, but he could not keep up with the other person.

He immediately understood the reason and bowed to Li Gangtie: "Captain Li, please allow me to attend the morning training."

Li Gangtie smiled and said, "You can come anytime you want, but let's wait until we are out of trouble."

"Well, I don't know when I can go home. Why did an avalanche happen when everything was fine?" Yuan Jiasi murmured.

"Yes, the mountain is not that high, so how could there be an avalanche? When I watched the news before, avalanches always happened in mountainous areas, especially those that were very high."

Yu Shui rubbed his legs, stood up with the help of the wall and said.

"Maybe it's because of the recent snowfall. The amount of snow is too heavy and the mountain can't bear it." Shen Yanming said after thinking for a while.

"Also, our location is too special. The snow on the hillside slid down and washed directly into the ditch. It's all because of my lack of consideration that I have implicated everyone," said Li Gangtie.

"Well, why say so much? Anyway, it has happened, so think about what to do."

"Yes, even in other places, accidents cannot be avoided. We are lucky to have escaped unscathed from such incidents. It shows that if you survive a disaster, you may have good fortune in the future!"

"We are still trapped, so we can't say we escaped unscathed. But facing such a critical situation, we are lucky not to be buried." Shen Yanming smiled and poured cold water on Chen Qingyu.

"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Yu Shui nodded and looked at Shen Yanming: "Old Shen, tell me, what should we do now?"
