Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 812

Fortunately, there was a factory building that prevented the wind from blowing in, so Li Teng didn't have to worry about being blown away.

In the darkness, Li Teng's headlamp could only illuminate a small area in front of him.

The storm made the bulkheads creak, and there were some small whining sounds.

The empty power plant, with only a headlamp and a thick thermal suit and a helmet, made it very inconvenient for Li Teng to move. It reminded him of some horror games he played a long time ago.

In the darkness, it seemed like something would rush out at any moment.

‘Dong-dong-dong-dong! ’

A strange sound appeared on the roof of the cabin, as if something was running on it.

Li Teng estimated that the sound was caused by ice cubes rolled up by the storm falling on the top of the wind power plant.

Overall, the horror atmosphere is created really well.

The only fly in the ointment is that this time it’s not a ghost movie.

Finally, Li Teng came to the main control room.

Using the remaining power, Li Teng started the defrost process.

Some indicator lights came on in the power plant, and more strange sounds were made, and then there were alarms caused by program errors that sounded from time to time.

The defrost program would take one or two days to run. After feeling that the defrost program was running roughly correctly, Li Teng was ready to return.

On the way back, Li Teng noticed something was wrong.

When another alarm sounded just now, that is, when the red alarm light on the cabin roof was flashing, Li Teng saw the moment when the red alarm light flashed, and it shone on the top of the unit and formed a shadow on the ground. It seemed that a person was lying on the ground. !

"Who! I found you! Come down quickly! Otherwise..." Li Teng's headlight shined above the unit.

‘Dong-dong-dong-dong! ’

Another strange sound appeared in the sky. It seemed to be on the roof of the cabin, but it might also be above the crew.

No one in the factory responded to Li Teng.

In such a cold environment, even a human being cannot be a normal person.

Could it be a snow zombie?

When I entered the script world this time, I didn’t clearly state the type of the film.

Li Teng's headlight illuminated nothing.

He walked around the unit and found a ladder to climb up on one side.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Teng climbed up carefully.

Of course, while climbing, he kept shining his headlight above nervously, guarding against possible attacks from above at any time.

Judging from the shadow just now, even if there are people above, they are lying there, maybe in a frozen state?

Soon, Li Teng came to the top of the unit and quickly shined his headlight around the top of the unit...

After seeing the thing clearly, Li Teng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

It was actually... Erha who was frozen to death!

Before the blizzard starts, some ventilation ducts in the factory are open. After the blizzard comes, these ducts will gradually be blocked.

Erha was very familiar with the environment in the power plant, so he hid in the power plant when he could not return to the laboratory. When the unit was operating normally, there was heat coming from above, and Erha must have been lying there to keep warm.

But because the blizzard froze the wind blades outside, the crew gradually stopped working, the temperature dropped sharply, and Erha froze to death here.

Poor Erha.

But being able to find its body meant to Li Teng that he no longer had to go into hibernation.

"Thank you for saving my life. I will find a place to bury your bones and erect a hero's tombstone for you." Li Teng observed Erha in silence for a while before dragging it up as cold and hard as stone. The body left the top of the unit.

In order to prevent Erha's body from being blown away by the snowstorm during transportation, Li Teng found some tools in the power plant and made a lock for Erha's waist.

When he opened the hatch and came outside, Li Teng locked Erha's buckles on the steel cables. For safety's sake, he tied Erha's four frozen legs together with ropes in pairs, and also locked them on the steel cables. After getting on the steel rope, he pushed Erha and walked back toward the laboratory with difficulty.

Just as Li Teng was returning, the storm seemed to suddenly become fierce.

Moreover, it was a tailwind when we came here, but when we returned, it turned into a headwind. The storm often blew Li Teng's whole body sideways, and he couldn't even land on his feet.

He even blew Erha's body out of his hands and blew it back along the steel cable, back to the node of the steel cable behind it.

Li Teng had to go back and push Erha over again.

This greatly affects his traveling speed,

After thinking about it, Li Teng connected himself and Erha with a rope.

This is dangerous, but he must do it, otherwise he may not have enough power and oxygen to return to the laboratory.

When the power was still 30%, Li Tengxing walked to the location between the laboratory and the power plant.

At the current rate, he should be able to return to the lab before the battery runs out.

Compared with electricity, there is still a certain surplus of oxygen.

Therefore, he only needs to focus on observing the power consumption now.

However, when it was about to reach the next node of the steel cable, an accident happened.

Another fierce storm blew by, blowing both Li Teng and Erha backwards. If Li Teng hadn't been tied to Erha, Li Teng could barely hold himself in place by grabbing the steel rope with both hands.

But because the pulling force of the storm on Erha exceeded the limit of Li Teng's arm strength, one person and one dog were instantly blown away and crashed into the node behind him along the steel cable.

Erha's hard body was forcibly stopped at the node.

Li Teng's waist hit Erha's body as hard as ice hard.

The thermal suit seemed to be damaged by the impact, but what was more serious was that Li Teng's waist was in severe pain. The pain made him sweat profusely, making it difficult for him to stand even when the wind calmed down.

Revenge from Erha?

Now we're in big trouble.

Taking advantage of the time when the wind calmed down, Li Teng untied the rope from Erha and instead used his hand to hold Erha's rope. He endured the pain in his back and continued to move towards the wind with great difficulty. Walk in the direction of the laboratory.

'boom! ’

There was a loud noise from the laboratory ahead.

I don’t know what event caused the sound.

But it doesn't feel like a good thing.

Li Teng gritted his teeth and persisted, and finally rushed back to the laboratory door when the battery was still 20%.

Seeing everything that happened, Li Teng had the urge to curse.

A huge ice block that didn't know where it came from, was carried by the violent blizzard just now, and crashed into the laboratory at high speed. It hit the laboratory hatch without any hesitation, causing the hatch to deform. Then the ice got stuck in the deformation of the hatch.

Although the electronic system of the hatch can still operate normally, Li Teng cannot open the hatch due to its deformation and a huge ice block!

Now we're in big trouble.

The thermal suit only has enough power and oxygen to last for half an hour.

Chapter 813

If he couldn't find a way into the laboratory within half an hour, he would freeze to death outside the laboratory.

"This is absolutely intentional!"

Li Teng kept cursing in his mind.

How could it be such a coincidence? For such a long time, no ice cubes were blown over and hit the laboratory. It happened that when he was leaving the laboratory, a huge ice cube flew in and smashed the laboratory hatch, trapping him outside?

It wasn't that the screenwriter changed the plot temporarily to mess with him. Li Teng couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation.

Li Teng tried to remove the ice cube. After trying for five minutes, he gave up decisively.

His back injury seriously affected his mobility, leaving him somewhat unable to use his strength.

However, according to Li Teng's estimation, even if he was not injured at this time, he could not move the ice block without the appropriate tools.

I can only give up and find other ways to enter the laboratory.

There were windows in some cabins that could be observed outside. Li Teng followed the cable to one of the windows, decided to use Erha's body to smash the window glass, and then climbed into the laboratory through the window.

Li Teng soon gave up the idea.

The window glass in the laboratory is thickened bulletproof glass, which is as strong as a metal plate and cannot be broken open by human hands.

After walking around the laboratory, Li Teng felt desperate.

A laboratory can look like a fortress from the outside to anyone without the right tools or weapons.

It's easy to get out from inside, but if the hatch is damaged, it will be difficult to get in from the outside.

For Li Teng now, it is simply harder than reaching the sky.

Seeing that the battery power gradually dropped to 15%, Li Teng did not dare to delay any longer.

He dragged Erha's body and quickly returned to the direction of the wind power plant.

He must return to the wind farm within a quarter of an hour, otherwise he will freeze to death in the blizzard.

It was another extremely difficult trek.

Although Li Teng tried his best to speed up, and sometimes even risked using the wind to blow himself to the next node, he still ran out of power before he reached the wind power plant.

The waist of the heating suit was damaged and its thermal insulation effect was reduced. After the battery was exhausted, Li Teng's body temperature began to lose rapidly.

Fortunately, he escaped back to the wind farm at the last moment.

Considering that the unit was running, Li Teng ran to the unit in one breath, found a ladder and climbed up.

Sure enough, where Erha's body was found, a little bit of heat radiated from the unit's shell.

Despite this, Li Teng was still shivering from the cold.

He was tired, tired, hungry, and had unbearable pain in his waist.

Although this outing was fruitful, it put him in a more difficult situation.

After recovering a little strength, Li Teng left the crew and dragged Erha's body placed by the door back to the top of the crew.

The weak heat above the unit was not enough to unfreeze Erha's freezing state in a short time.

Li Teng was so hungry that he had no choice but to bite Erha.

In the end, he bit off one of Erha's ears, including the fur, and swallowed it forcefully after barely opening it in his mouth.

"Had I known this, should I have chosen to hibernate?"

Li Teng began to reflect.

"No, even if I die, I don't want to be hibernated again."

Li Teng shook his head.

After forcefully eating Erha's other ear, Li Teng lay down with Erha's body on his pillow.

He couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to sleep.

"The crew must not shut down, otherwise my fate will be the same as Erha's."

Although extremely worried, Li Teng fell asleep.

There was nothing he could do because the unit was shut down. In that case, there was no point in him being awake.

…

After one day, the defrost process ends.

Fortunately, the wind farms are operating again.

Of course, it only runs barely and the power it provides is very limited.

But this limited electrical energy is crucial to Li Teng.

He found an electrical energy outlet, connected the thermal suit to it, and charged the thermal suit. This finally gave his almost freezing body a chance to breathe.

With electricity and Erha's body, Li Teng could barely survive even though he was trapped in the power plant.

…

A week later.

Li Teng's back pain eased a lot.

He estimated that no bones were injured, just muscle contusions, so although there is still some pain now, his mobility has basically been restored.

Two days later, a very strange scene happened.

The snowstorm outside actually stopped.

According to Anna and the others, this blizzard should last for more than two months, that is to say, it will continue for at least another month. Now this situation...is it over early?

Li Teng quickly rejected this speculation.

He felt that he should just pause.

Maybe the snowstorm will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Today is an opportunity to go back outside the laboratory again and try to see if I can find an opportunity to return to the laboratory.

The conditions in the power plant are too difficult, and over the past week, the power supply of the power plant has become increasingly unstable, and the power supply may stop at any time. According to Cui Yunxi, after the snowstorm comes, the defrost program can only be run once. .

If the power plant stops supplying power again, Li Teng will definitely freeze to death here.

The opportunity for a pause in the blizzard was also his only chance to return to the laboratory to survive.

In order to deal with the huge ice block, Li Teng found some tools in the power plant, and then modified them. After being fully prepared, he left the power plant and headed towards the laboratory.

The blizzard stopped, but Li Teng still locked himself on the steel cable to prevent the blizzard from suddenly coming back and catching him off guard.

There is always only the unexpected, something that a screenwriter without bad taste can't do.

Judging from the time, it seems to be daytime now.

But it was still pitch black outside, no different from the night.

The long polar night can last for several months.

Just when Li Teng came to the back of the laboratory and was about to go around, a rumbling sound came from the direction of the main entrance of the laboratory, coming closer and closer.

There was even some light coming through.

Li Teng untied the cable from his body and carefully walked around on his stomach.

It turned out that there were actually seven or eight snowmobiles heading this way!

Is it a rescue?

Li Teng quickly denied this speculation.

It is more likely that these people were sent by the mysterious force of the man who had access to the laboratory communication channel!

The camp they were in should not be far from the laboratory, and could be reached by snowmobile in a few hours.

As long as the blizzard stops for a while, they can send armed forces to take over the laboratory.

Fortunately, Li Teng was not in hibernation and stayed outside the laboratory. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now that they are in the light and he is in the dark, things will be much easier to handle.
