Chapter 296: Rappelling Failure
[I'm safe, Master Chu, you are always trustworthy.]
【Chu Ye yyds. 】
[Damn, it's so high, I'm not afraid at all.]
[Chu Qiao was given a tank by Yunduan Shangzhong - professional.]
[The little chicken gave Chu Qiao an airplane—my legs were shaking.]
…
Chu Qiao quickly arranged the ropes and waited for Director Xiao.
She stood one meter away, with her fists clenched in front of her, ready to respond to Director Xiao at any time.
Although Director Xiao is older, he has never boasted before and does have some experience.
I saw him put on the rope with familiarity and descend quickly.
Halfway through, Chu Qiao realized something was wrong. Director Xiao should have been slowing down, but why was he speeding up?
Obviously the brake driver applied the wrong amount of force.
Director Xiao had cold sweat on his forehead. The things he had practiced when he was young were now unfamiliar to him.
"Turn your brake hand outward 45 degrees. Hurry up, Coach Xiao."
Director Xiao's ears moved, and he quickly adjusted his brake hand, and he slowly slowed down.
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, it worked.
But her complexion did not improve. During the rappelling process, any problem could cause the risk of illness. Director Xiao's adjustment was obviously a little late.
Chu Qiao took a step forward, and when Director Xiao fell, she quickly let him fall on her back. She rolled three times with Director Xiao on the spot and stopped.
"Can we not be so stubborn next time?" Although Chu Qiao didn't want to contradict Director Xiao, he couldn't help but complain.
"Oh, I'm getting old." Director Xiao sighed, no longer as arrogant as before.
"Master Chu, don't say that. Director Xiao was also the king of outdoor activities back then."
[Yes, yes, I watched Director Xiao’s show when I was a kid]
…
Chu Qiao knew the feeling of liking someone but having to give up: "Why didn't you record the show later?"
"Later, due to health reasons, I had to retreat behind the scenes."
Chu Qiao saw the frustration in his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Don't be like this. At your age, you are already a king."
Director Xiao didn't know whether Chu Qiao's words were meant as an insult or a compliment, but for the person who had just saved him, he had to endure it even if it was an insult.
"How are you? Did you twist your waist?"
Chu Qiao shook his head: "It's not a big deal, don't worry about me."
As they were talking, photographers Xiao Wang and Huang Li came over from a hill not far away, panting.
Xiao Wang: "Director Xiao, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. You two are taking shortcuts, and we're both panting and groaning, exhausted."
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Director Xiao took out all his anger over the failed rappelling on his two subordinates: "Okay, you two try rappelling, I'll call the helicopter back immediately."
The two of them drooped their eyelids and stopped making trouble for themselves.
Chu Qiao brushed off the ice on his body, took off his gloves and helmet, stood up and looked around.
【drop--】
[Congratulations host, you have arrived at the mission starting point and have started this mission.]
This was Chu Qiao’s first time here. Although there was an introduction in the information, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Chu Qiao had no idea that the whole Iceland would be like this.
"We need to speed up and leave the glacier. The weather here changes a lot. Sometimes there may be a storm within minutes."
Seeing such a vast world of ice and snow for the first time, Xiao Wang seemed to have a professional disease. He did not listen to Chu Qiao's words at all. He stood still and continued to take pictures.
Chu Qiao's face showed a hint of anger. "You two, I know the scenery here is beautiful, but if this continues, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it."
Director Xiao looked at the weather around him and said coldly, "You two, I told you to come here to photograph people, not the scenery. Hurry and follow Chu Qiao."
Chu Qiao had just walked out 10 meters, but even so, they were trapped in the vast snow and it was difficult for them to catch up with Chu Qiao.
"I think the weather is not right. It's going to snow soon."
"It's getting a little dark, and the wind is quite strong."
The two men couldn't help but feel scared. In this weather, they didn't know if the tent they brought could hold up.
The four people walked forward against the wind.
Chu Qiao narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
Xiao Wang shouted happily: "I saw a suitable shelter, look there."
I saw a very wide and high ice cave in front of me.
Xiao Wang pulled Huang Li and immediately ran towards the ice cave. Chu Qiao turned back to stop them, but it was too late.
The road leading to the ice cave is downhill. People would slip even on flat snow, let alone downhill.
Xiao Wang just sat down on the ice and slid into the ice cave.
"Director Xiao, wait a minute. I'll go get them both back. It's too dangerous in there."
Director Xiao didn't understand: "There are many ice caves on the glacier, some of which have even been selected as ice cave parks by the Ice Kingdom. It's not as serious as you say."
[Yes, I think what Director Xiao said makes sense.]
We also want to see the ice cave.
[It's okay. If there was something wrong, it would have happened long ago. Let's go in and take a look.]
【I'm curious about what it looks like.】
Chu Qiao shook his head. "The danger of ice caves is that, firstly, the ice caves themselves are as brittle as glass and prone to collapse. Secondly, because this place is close to the Arctic Circle, none of us know if there are viruses in the ice."
How can there be methamphetamine in ice?
【Then he would have frozen to death long ago. 】
[Master Chu is joking.]
Chu Qiao shook his head. "There are many types of viruses and bacteria. Some can survive temperatures as high as 300 degrees Celsius or as low as a few dozen degrees Celsius. Scientists have discovered bacteria and viruses tens of thousands of years old in the ice of the Arctic Circle."
"These viruses can adapt to the harsh Arctic environment and are much more resistant to antibiotics than normal. Once these bacteria and viruses infect humans, there is basically no medicine to treat them."
Chu Qiao stopped talking nonsense, sat on the ice and paddled down the slope.
The entire ice cave is very fragile, like walking on thin paper.
Chu Qiao saw the two men crawling forward.
"Stand up, don't lie down."
Chu Qiao gave the order, but Xiao Wang still didn't take it seriously and kept clinging to the ice like a monkey.
"From now on, I will lead you out, and you must listen to me."
Chu Qiao finished speaking and lowered his body.
"The place we just walked through was a very slippery slope, so it was easy for everyone to go down but difficult to go up."
Chu Qiao saw that the other end of the ice cave was also connected to the outside world. Chu Qiao pointed to the sunlight coming in from that side and said, "Let's go from that side. Follow me."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden click, and cracks appeared on the ice layer as thin as a cicada's wing. The cracks came from Xiao Wang, who was the one with the most weight in the ice and was carrying a camera on his back.
"Put down the camera." Chu Qiao shouted.
Xiao Wang didn't expect that there would be real danger here. He was so scared that his soul was scared to death. He was so nervous that he held the camera on his shoulder even tighter.
Chu Qiao took out an ice pick, something she originally thought she would never need.
After all, on this trip to Iceland, they went from high terrain to low terrain and did not need any tools to climb the snow-capped mountains.
