They ate and drank their fill.
The two returned to the armory.
"High-strength climbing rope, ice-breaking axe, multi-functional entrenching tool... This is good, thermal imager, which can detect the thickness and structure of the snow outside."
As Su Tang took inventory, she picked out the useful equipment.
Qin Ye's gaze fell on several small, powerful explosive devices.
He considered it for a moment and felt that the thing was making too much noise, and if it triggered another avalanche, it would be a loss.
After a moment of contemplation, he picked up a uniquely shaped entrenching tool.
This shovel may look small, but it can be switched to an axe, a saw, or even a high-frequency vibration mode, making it perfect for breaking ice and rocks.
He held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand, then pressed a button. A slight high-frequency vibration came from the shovel head, making a buzzing sound.
"nice one."
If we could get a batch of these, the efficiency of soldiers digging trenches and building fortifications would be incredibly high.
"This thing is great. If our battalion could be equipped with one of these, we could save half the effort in fieldwork."
Su Tang joked, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. I'll get you a hundred or two later."
Qin Ye was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
He now understands that his wife cannot be judged by common sense.
She said "a hundred or so" as if she were going to collect a bunch of cabbages.
"Alright, stop daydreaming. Let's go, let's get to work."
The two individuals' spiritual entities withdrew from the space.
Back in the cold, dark cave.
"Let me check the situation first."
Su Tang raised the thermal imaging camera and aimed it at the cave entrance that was blocked by snow and gravel.
On the screen, apart from the red humanoid figures represented by the two of them, the thick snow outside was displayed as a cold blue.
But deep within this blue expanse, several faint, indistinct red dots were slowly moving.
“There are living things.”
Qin Ye also came over to take a look, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Judging from its size and speed of movement, it doesn't seem to be a wolf. It's more likely to be a small animal that's been trapped, such as a snow hare or a marmot."
"Hmm, they don't pose a threat for now."
Qin Ye nodded, "Let's get started. First, let's see if we can get out the way we came."
The two of them got right to work.
Qin Ye held the multi-functional entrenching tool, while Su Tang held the ice-breaking axe, and they began to clear the snow and rubble from the cave entrance.
It has to be said that the tools of the future will be highly efficient.
The entrenching tool sliced through the snow like mud; it felt easier than cutting tofu.
When the ice-breaking axe met the hard ice and rock, it cut a deep gash with a "crack".
In the past, it would have been impossible to dig open such a blocked hole with just a military knife and bare hands in less than three to five days.
Now, in just a few hours, they have cleared more than half of the hole.
However, the situation outside was worse than they had imagined.
The snow was so thick, and after being compressed, melted, and then frozen, it formed an extremely unstable structure.
Qin Ye tried to probe outwards with his entrenching tool, but with a "crash," more snow and gravel collapsed, almost blocking the newly cleared passage again.
"no."
Qin Ye shook his head, his expression grave.
“This place is too dangerous. If we force our way out, it could trigger a second collapse, and we would be buried alive.”
Su Tang also noticed the problem, and she nodded in agreement.
"It seems that the original route is not feasible."
