Chapter 870
It was not until they reached this point that their vision became clear.
"That's the high ground!"
Captain Yu squinted his eyes to look for a higher place, and sure enough, he saw an entire ice field with slightly higher terrain more than 100 meters to the side.
"Major Wei and the others might be hiding over there."
The team quickly followed his pace, their skates drawing smooth arcs on the ice.
However, Captain Yu was running so fast that he almost jogged towards the high ground.
Just as he was about to arrive, the ice under his feet suddenly made a slight "crack" sound, and then a long crack quickly opened up under his feet.
"Be careful!" Zhou Shuwan's voice sounded almost at the same time.
She was quick-witted and grabbed Captain Yu's arm, pulling him away from where he was.
As soon as Captain Yu moved his feet, the ice that had been supporting him collapsed and fell into a bottomless crack.
Captain Yu glanced down, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
At the bottom of the crack, transparent sea water was gushing out frantically, but soon, the extremely cold temperature froze the sea water into a thick layer of ice, like a huge white spider web, covering the abyss.
The other team members quickly gathered around and pulled the two men aside.
The ice beneath their feet was still unstable, and the cracks continued to extend. The two men were almost dragged to the side.
Not until they were far away from the crack did everyone finally stop, all panting, with looks of shock on their faces.
"Captain Yu, are you okay?" a team member couldn't help but ask, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Captain Yu took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, thanks to Doctor Zhou."
Zhou Shuwan had already "seen" that the bottom of this entire area was collapsing and deforming. They had to take Major Wei and the others away, otherwise they would be buried here forever.
She waved her hands and yelled, "Follow me!"
She led everyone around to the side and headed straight towards the high place.
The ice skates on his feet left silvery white marks on the ice.
The team members followed closely behind. Although the ice under their feet was still unstable, with Zhou Shuwan's guidance, everyone's steps seemed much steadier.
Soon, they bypassed the collapsed area.
"This way!" Zhou Shuwan suddenly stopped and pointed to an ice crevice on the left.
The crevasse wasn't wide, but it was wide enough for one person to pass through. Zhou Shuwan slid sideways into it, and the team members behind him followed.
The space inside the ice crevice is slightly narrow, with towering ice walls on both sides, like a natural ice tunnel.
"It's safe here for now; the ice is thick," Zhou Shuwan whispered, her voice echoing off the ice walls. Her eyes swept around, her expression focused.
Captain Yu nodded and signaled the team members to continue moving forward.
The sound of the wind in the ice crevice has weakened a lot, but the ice under my feet still makes a slight "cracking" sound, as if it will crack at any time.
The team members held their breath and quickened their pace.
After passing through the ice crevice, the view ahead suddenly becomes clear.
They stood on a relatively flat ice field, with the ice peaks within reach.
Zhou Shuwan's eyes quickly swept around and suddenly stopped at a depression behind the ice peak.
"Major Wei!" she whispered, with a hint of relief in her voice.
Not far ahead of them, Major Wei and his group were standing on a higher ice surface, observing the collapse around them with serious expressions.
Although they are temporarily safe, their situation is obviously not optimistic.
The one who was supporting him looked pale, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding, staining his winter clothes red.
The person lying there had an icicle pierced directly into his abdomen and had fallen into a coma.
No wonder it was so dangerous here, but they were still standing still.
Zhou Shuwan quickly stepped forward, glanced at the injured team member, and frowned slightly: "Major Wei, his condition needs to be dealt with immediately."
