    There are three mottos circulating on the battlefield of the coalition forces: "Who dares to fight for the first place", which is the slogan of the fast-moving SAS commandos; "Strength and Honor" is the combat creed of the "Dagger Task Force" headquarters; "Speed, surprise attack"  "And strike hard" is what the "Delta" special forces do.

    Unlike these slogans full of power and enthusiasm, "Never hesitate, no mercy!" is the survival manual of the wolf pack.  From a literary perspective, it sounds like a lack of self-confidence, even a bit of bleak inferiority and cold cruelty.  Rich emotions have always been abandoned by wolves because it will affect combat decisions, but this is not acceptable to anyone, and the fate of those who cannot accept it is like the river bed in the desert - dried up!

    Three consecutive days of non-stop marching exhausted everyone¡¯s energy. This mechanical march seemed to have no end.  The earth is covered with overwhelming whiteness. Every time you go around a mountain ridge, you will see more and more endless twists and turns of snow-covered mountain ridges in front of you. Their faces are exactly the same, and they all have the same kind of debilitating vastness.  When the snow scene changes from exciting to monotonous, people begin to feel irritable. When the irritability accumulates to the point of nausea, the pain of marching in the cold zone enters its climax.

    Extreme fatigue and sleepiness are like invisible giant mosquitoes, greedily sucking up all the energy and still not letting go of me. The sore and numb feeling of emptiness rises from the internal organs, making me top-heavy.  I feel like I'm crumbling with every step I take. This feeling of imbalance reminds me of the 'tumbler' my mother bought me when I was a kid. It was a kind and kind birthday boy. Being naughty, I always liked to hold 'his old man' in the big top style.  He stood up upside down and tried his best but could not stabilize his heavy ass. The feeling was very similar to now.

    There is no feeling in both feet, and the body that has been drained of heat by blood loss is cold. The cold wind blows through the body without blocking it and floats backwards.  The twitching eyelids were like lead weights, and they fell down and blocked his vision if he didn't pay attention.  I stretched my waist, which was always bowed, and the sharp pain between my ribs took away some of the weight from my eyelids, allowing me to break free from the bondage of the "Sandman" for a moment.

    With the sobriety gained from pain, I sniffed the air wiped by snowflakes. It was cold, deep and clean.  The moonlight is reflected by the snow layer and projected back onto the sky, turning the originally dark sight into milky gray. The miracle of nature seems to have fixed time at dusk.

    At this time, I stood on the knee-deep snow slope and looked up. The moon was perfectly round, but it could not block the crowded stars in the sky. A Milky Way stretched across the night sky, and the city could not see the beautiful scenery.  The endless snow line, the stacks of mountains, the white clouds seem to be floating beside you, and the sky is spotless and blue.  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A burst of gunfire shattered the peace in my eyes, which was like a fairyland. The sense of crisis scared me so much that I sat down in the snow and reluctantly turned the muzzle of the sniper rifle to aim at the gun.  The location of the sound.  Just when I was about to pull the trigger, I saw clearly that it was the female reporter Jie Li who fired the gun.  At this time, I wanted to stop pulling the trigger, but I felt like I couldn't do it. It was as if the brain's instructions were delayed and could not be transmitted, and my fingers continued to bend without listening to the instructions.

    Seeing that this shot was about to tear the thin woman in front of me into two pieces, I could only raise my head and tilt my body slightly back, and then raised the muzzle a little higher. After a sudden explosion, the bullet flew past the female reporter.  passed and shot into the hillside behind.

    The huge gunshot woke up all the dazed team members who were tortured by exhaustion. Tangtang and the married man, who had just turned their heads to look at Jie Li who was shooting the gun, shook their heads and woke up from their confusion.  The werewolf and assassin were startled by my out-of-control behavior, rushed over and snatched the gun from my hand.  But Jerry was still minding her own business and shooting at the trees not far away, not realizing that death had passed by and that the bullets had been fired.

    The assassin rushed over and unloaded her gun, then slapped her in the face.  Then he quickly picked her up from the snow and shook her awake, holding her shoulders to help her stand up, and then began to check her condition.  After a moment, the assassin turned to the werewolf and shook his head, indicating that Jie Li had reached her limit and could no longer hold on.

    Physical overdraft and long days without rest, combined with hypoxia at high altitude, will cause severe brain dysfunction.  Many people, physically and mentally haggard and in a trance, regard ordinary trees as enemies and hard stones as bread.  There may even be various strange hallucinations, and after a long time, the mind will collapse.

    Sitting in the snow, the cool and wet feeling penetrated into the body and began to crawl up along the intestines. Instead, the cold feeling disappeared in the parts passed through, replaced by a scalding heat.  It was as if a fire was burning in his belly, roasting the surrounding skin and flesh. The force squeezed open the constricted blood vessels and activated the weak muscles. The originally painful ribs were swept by the heat and turned into a faint feeling of comfort.  But this heat didn't give me any sense of enjoyment, and it scared me so much that I jumped up from the ground with the strength I didn't know where.

    "What's going on? A misfire? This is not like you!" The werewolf waved my weapon in front of my eyes: "Is it bad?"I didn¡¯t say anything, I just shook my head, grabbed the gun and held it tightly in my hand, hoping to find strength through the sense of fulfillment in my hand.  The werewolf looked at me for a moment, shook his head tiredly, and walked away with heavy steps.  He is not made of iron either!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.lly.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbmblly???  When the coldness and pain returned to the lost position, I slowly breathed a sigh of relief.  But the fear in my heart did not leave my body with this hot breath. Uneasiness and nervousness bit my tense nerves.

    "Feeling hot?" The water ghost moved to my side holding his gun, looking at my hand rubbing my belly and asked with a smile.

    "You too?" I raised my head suddenly and stared at the guy in front of me, whose whole face had turned purple from the frost.

    "Hehe!" The water ghost wanted to curl his lips and laugh, but he couldn't squeeze out his frozen face. He just made a weird expression that was uglier than a ghost, then shook his head and walked forward.

    Many people who freeze to death are *. This is because excessive hypothermia in the body can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Once the intestinal temperature drops below 34 degrees, people will become confused, feel tired, sleepy, and have a sweet trance. Finally,  Losing normal thinking ability and hallucinations, many people who freeze to death don't have painful expressions on their faces, and this is why they even strip off their clothes due to the heat.

    The assassin was still trying to reorganize Jie Li's consciousness, but Tang Tang walked up to me with squinted eyes and shivered listlessly.  After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to ask me: "I have been wearing very thick clothes, and I have never felt cold. But now it is getting colder and colder for some reason, and now it is unbearable! Why is this?"

    I haven¡¯t solved the problem of body temperature loss caused by blood loss, but I have become someone else¡¯s heating consultant. God really made an exciting joke on me.  But others had already asked about it, and I couldn't turn it away. I could only carefully look at the woman in front of me who was already wrapped in a ball but still shaking.

    After a while, I seemed to see some clues and asked directly: "What underwear are you wearing?"

    "What?" She obviously didn't expect me to ask this, and she blushed for a moment.  After hesitating for a long time, he whispered: "Alice's romantic leisure series"

    "I didn't ask you the brand! What material is it made of?" No wonder she was embarrassed, it seemed she must be wearing something sexy.

    "Pure cotton!" Tangtang looked at me and became embarrassed for his misunderstanding, and lowered his head.

    "Take it off!" I pulled out the knife and handed it to her: "It's good to choose cotton underwear to absorb sweat, but if you are active in cold places, cotton underwear is simply a killer. If it is not a professional sweat-wicking underwear, cotton underwear that absorbs sweat  Underwear can't dissipate and will absorb a lot of your body heat when it gets cold."

    "Now?" Tangtang looked at the knife I handed over and hesitated.

    "If the T-shirt is also made of cotton, put the down layer you took out of the sleeping bag into it to isolate it from contact with the skin." I checked the original thermal layer in the sleeping bag that she stuffed into the military uniform: "Pay attention to the helmet  More than 50% of the body¡¯s heat is lost from the head and neck.¡±

    "Oh!" Tangtang slowly took off his close-fitting pure cotton clothes and pulled them out from the collar and waistband of his trousers. The wet underwear, which he didn't feel much inside, turned into ice lumps when it was blown by the cold wind outside.  Tangtang finally understood that the "romance and leisure" in her hands had stolen a lot of her chance of survival.

    Including the two days before entering the mountain, everyone has not slept for five days. The married man next to him who has received the same training can no longer support it and is not far from unconsciousness.  But Tangtang could still maintain clear thinking ability, and had to admit that men were not as resistant to cold, hunger, fatigue, and mental stress as women.

    We reached into our bags and touched the few chocolates and energy bars left. Our strong bodies, which we have trained so hard, consume twice as much energy as ordinary people.  During an ordinary march, we only prepare rations for a week. In this environment, the consumption doubles, and even if we try to save as much as possible, there is not much leftover.

    I am very satisfied with my performance that my injured and blood-stricken body has been able to hold on until now.  But looking at the endless snowfield, I felt like I was powerless.  This is not the first time I have faced the threat of death. There have been several experiences that have been worse than now and have even broken my intestines. But this time is different. Even though I still have the physical strength, I clearly feel that the hands of the god of death have tightened around my neck.

    "What's wrong with you?" After finishing his clothes, Tangtang tried his best to look at my expression through his goggles with his eyes wide open.

    "It's okay!" A feeling of drowsiness spread from the bottom of his eyes to the soles of his feet, causing his muscles to tremble slightly.  The bone chill provides negligible heat, and the resulting heavy numbness radiates from the bone nerves to the skin, which is extremely comfortable!

    can not sleep!  can not sleep!  I kept shouting in my heart.  But the body did not obey the command of the brain and kept shaking.?Coordination.

    "Can I still walk?" When I was immersed in fighting with my body, the werewolf walked up to me and asked: "Ghoul! Ghoul!"

    The strong shaking brought me back to reality. I raised my eyebrows with my fingers to open my eyelids. Looking at the water ghost who was already walking in front of the team, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shame in my heart. I gritted my teeth and said bravely: "Hey! I am  Damn it! How could something happen?"

    ¡°If that doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll build an igloo!¡± The assassin came over carrying Jie Li, who had woken up after taking some purified caffeine.  We spent several hours building an igloo the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered to take a breather, the pursuers from behind came after us on donkeys.  There were not many of them but they were all scouts. They turned around and retreated without exchanging fire when they saw us.  We were forced without firing a shot and gave up for a long time before building a rest room. We started marching again with double fatigue after chasing.

    "No! That's too late! They have donkeys to travel instead, and we can't stop." I interrupted him: "I'm fine! I'm just a little tired of the unchanging scenery in front of me. Werewolf, you know my ability can't be like this."

    "Brothers! Come on!" The water ghost suddenly shouted hurriedly across the mountain in front of him. The frightened assassin thought he had encountered an enemy, so he left Jie Li and ran towards him in a hurry.  The werewolf hesitated when he heard the call, looked at me carefully for a moment, put his hand on my shoulder and nodded, before running forward after the assassin.

    "Oh! God!" The whispers of the werewolf and the assassin came from the radio at the same time. The shock contained in them made me panic inexplicably. I stomped my injured left foot, and with the slight pain I regained the feeling in my legs, I pulled out.  Run towards the hill where they disappeared.

    But when I climbed over the hillside and reached the top of the mountain, suddenly, a square of blue seemed to fall from the sky and broke into our sight. I had not seen anything but white for five days. The sudden fresh color stung my eyeballs, and suddenly we were stunned.  The eyes that were beginning to dry up due to poverty were soothed with coolness.

    ??Everyone was stunned and looked at the pure blue lake at the bottom of the valley. At first glance, the calm lake surface against the snow-capped mountains looked like a flawless huge sapphire inlaid in white velvet.

    That kind of blue, it lies so peacefully at the bottom of the distant valley.  It's like Blue's home.  It is blue itself, tranquility and remoteness itself.

    That kind of blue, that kind of solid, deep and reserved blue, because of the brown and yellow cliffs that stand around it, shows a kind of grace and nobility, as if there is a secret hidden deep in the sky that humans cannot know. Because of this secret, it is  He looked so calm and composed.

    After slowly adapting to the miracle of nature in front of me, I began to notice the details that were ignored outside the flat surface. The mountain lake in front of me was like an overflowing glass of wine, pouring down at the narrow turning point of the valley to form layers of snow-white waterfalls, with water everywhere.  The air is thick with droplets, and droplets are floating in the air.

    "It's so beautiful!" The beauty of nature came into my eyes. The long-suppressed white terror in my mind was shattered by this piece of blue. My heart relaxed as if my bound limbs were much lighter.

    "Blue! It's a lake! It's a lake!" Even Jieli, who was on the verge of collapse, woke up from her daze, covering her face and crying bitterly.

    "Praise Odin!" Thor climbed over the mountain and knelt on the ground, stretching out his hands to reach the water in his eyes, greedily absorbing the vitality from the beating river water.

    The married man was too excited to speak and ran towards the lake. There was a small wooden house there, which looked like a dock where fishermen lived.  But before he could even take two steps, he tripped over something and fell into the snow.  When he looked back, he was so frightened that he screamed: "Human!!"

    "Whoops!" The werewolf and we were awakened by his cry. We instinctively picked up our weapons and pointed the muzzles in the direction where the married man fell.  After he fidgeted in the snow a few times in a panic and revealed a body in military uniform, he relaxed again.

    "Americans!" After everyone gathered around the corpse and looked at the stiff human body in front of them, Thor turned over the dead man's white snow camouflage to reveal his American military uniform and raised his head and said.

    "Are they the guys we are looking for?" When everyone no longer had hope for the purpose of coming here, there was such a turn of events. I don't know whether to be grateful or to complain.

    "No military ranks? They are not regular troops!" Thor continued to rummage for a moment and then found a card and said: "Security Career Resources Company? Are they mercenaries?"

    The werewolf found a Steyr aug from the snow around the body and nodded: "American uniforms, Austrian weapons. They are mercenaries!"

    "Why are they here?" Watching death has an "energizing" effect on weak people.

    "I don't know! But he didn't freeze to death!" Thor is from Eastern Europe, where there are many mountains and snowfields. He is very experienced in death from hypothermia: "The face of a person who freezes to death should be rosy, as if he has drunk alcohol. But look at him  The face is so happy?Eggplant!  "

    Thor said here and turned over the body, which was as hard as a stone. A bullet hole was clearly visible in the fabric of the bulletproof vest on the shoulder behind his back.  After removing the broken Kevlar, the bloody wound will be exposed in the white world, which is extremely eye-catching!

    "Huh?" The werewolf and I were stunned for a moment when we looked at the wound. Judging from the small entrance and large cavity, it should be caused by the rolling of a small-caliber warhead.

    "Take out the bullet!" the werewolf said to Thor.  There is an injection entrance but not a penetration exit, which means the bullet is still inside.

    "What a great idea!" Thor took out the Swedish NL1 Thor Bowie knife and stabbed around the wound with all his strength.  The frozen human flesh looks like stone, but the hardness when cut is quite similar.  Fortunately, Thor was tall and strong, and the thing in his hand was the world's sharpest steel knife, so he was able to dig open the frozen corpses on the ground.  When they saw the bullet he took out, everyone was shocked.

    The standard cone-topped cylinder with a shell clearly tells everyone that this is not a bullet that ordinary people can get.

    "AP!" I took the bullet from Thor and examined it carefully for a moment, recognizing that the bullet in my hand was American.

    "M995 armor-piercing bullet?" Tang Tang and the married man next to them are American soldiers. Of course they know about this special bullet developed for them to deal with light armored vehicles.

    "From the degree of fragmentation of the warhead shell, this shot should be a long-range sniper shot! At least 500 meters away!" The assassin glanced at the cracked cone warhead shell, shook his head and said, "5.56 caliber? This kind of weather? This kind of wind and force  Visibility? Absolutely good!"

    After confirming that the deceased was not wearing anti-infrared military uniform, the werewolf used a thermal detector to observe the surroundings and said: "There is no living person here!"

    "Let's go to the hut at the foot of the mountain to take a rest. There will definitely be a village along the river. No matter where these mercenaries come from, they must have the same idea as us." The werewolf was about to fall to the ground.  The water ghost pointed at the cabin and said, "If we can find them, maybe these guys have large radio stations or satellite phones."

    Looking at the lake right in front of you, walking is not so easy.  The rapid drop of 4,000 meters makes the temperature difference between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain nearly 20 degrees, which is why the lake water does not freeze.  The top-heavy feeling caused by extreme sleepiness was already uncomfortable enough, and coupled with the inertia of going down the mountain, my head rushed to the top of the mountain and rushed everyone down the hillside.

    When everyone rushed to the cabin at the foot of the mountain after falling and falling, everyone saw the wall made of logs, and the first image that came to their mind was a fireplace and a bed.  So they all rushed towards the poor little door.

    "Wait a minute!" I don't know why, but I suddenly felt something strange in the small room, as if something was piled inside, so I shouted hurriedly.  But as soon as I finished speaking, the door was already opened.  Jerry and the married man, who were at the front, stood upright and motionless at the door as if their feet were nailed.

    Through the not-so-bright sunlight, I could vaguely see that there was indeed someone in the room.  And not one!  It was only when I got closer that I could see clearly that the room was full of stiff dead people, who seemed to have frozen to death in their sleep.  The military uniforms they wore and the weapons they used were the same model as the dead men found on the hillside just now. It seemed like they were in the same group.

    After setting up a security guard around the house, we got inside and observed carefully.  The number of mercenaries among these people was not large. There were only three of them. They used Austrian weapons, and many of them suffered minor injuries.  And more of them looked like scholars, all wearing glasses and looking bookish.

    The werewolf picked up the instrument on the ground and looked at it and said: "These people are not Americans, but businessmen who detect resources. This is a resource detector. It seems that it is not for oil but for gold."

    "War is always a continuation of politics!" I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after knowing that everyone was still fighting for the black liquid.

    "The good news is that they have remote communication tools." The werewolf gave another good news.

    "We are saved!" Everyone wanted to cheer excitedly.  After I learned that I was saved, the pillars that had held my body upright immediately cracked. The accumulated fatigue from high altitude hit my eyelids directly. My weak body swayed three times and almost fell to the ground.

    "But everyone must not sleep until the reinforcements arrive." Thor looked at the corpses on the ground solemnly: "These people are all frozen to death, and they are all sleeping. There must be something weird in this!"
