On the morning of the third day after entering the mountain, the team arrived at the Great Glacier.
Legend has it that there is a small, extremely low-lying basin nearby.
The destination of our trip was that basin.
Since it was a confidential mission, we couldn't find a local guide to lead the way.
In fact, no one knew the way.
We could only rely on crude military maps to find our destination among the grass-like contour lines.
The large glacier is composed of three parts, with a huge drop and a steep slope.
The highest altitude is more than 6,000 meters, and the snow will never melt.
The middle section is the longest, and is full of mirror-like slippery ice.
The ice layer is thick.
It reaches hundreds of meters, and the lowest part is lower than the average altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, sinking deeply into the earth like a crack.
The warmer climate here forms a rare green plant belt.
At the lowest point, altitude sickness has also been alleviated.
If you want to continue walking deeper into the Kunlun Mountains, you must pass through the valley under the large glacier.
Before departure, the engineer warned everyone not to make loud noises while marching under the glacier, otherwise it would cause an avalanche and they would be buried alive underneath.
No one even dared to take a breath, but an accident happened halfway.
On the way down from the glacier to the valley, an engineer from Beijing lost his footing and fell down the glacier.
We found his battered body in the oasis below the glacier.
Luo Ning, a female geological surveyor, was a colleague of him in the same unit.
Seeing this tragic situation, she couldn't help but want to burst into tears.
A geological expert named Wang quickly covered her mouth with his hand and whispered: "Don't cry out."
Luo Ning buried her head deeply in Wang Gong's arms, sobbing painfully.
The instructor took the lead in taking off his hat and bid a silent farewell to his companion's body.
Then Gawa and I packed his body together and put it in a bag for burial.
This engineer was with us for less than three days.
I only knew that he was from Beijing.
I didn't even have time to know his name, and he died silently.
The big man gently dug the soil on the ground with a construction shovel.
After a few digs, suddenly a large blue fireball flew out of the pit he dug.
It was as big as a basketball and circled twice in the air.
He rushed into the crowd, and the members of the team hurriedly dodged.
The fireball fell on the ground, and the blue flame gradually extinguished.
It turned out to be a strange-shaped little ladybug.
Its whole body was like red transparent crystal, and its wings were crystal clear.
You could vaguely see the translucency inside through the transparent carapace.
There seemed to be faint flames flowing in the internal organs, which looked indescribably mysterious and strange.
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to ask what kind of insect this was.
But no one can give the answer, probably it is a species that has not yet been discovered.
Wang Gong leaned over curiously, pushed up the myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, excitedly picked up the red flame-like ladybug with two fingers, and carefully watched it carefully.
However, at this moment, his fingers that were in contact with the ladybug were ignited by a blue flame.
In an instant, the fierce flames engulfed his whole body, and his skin was instantly covered with a layer of large blisters, which were then burned again.
The myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose were burned and deformed and fell to the ground.
He also fell to the ground in pain and twisted and struggled.
It was too late for us to save him.
His screams of being burned by the fire demon resounded throughout the valley, making everyone shudder.

It looked like he would not die for a while.
Someone tried to use a shovel to extinguish the flames on his body, but the burn area on his body had reached 100%, which was a deep burn.
Even if the fire on his body was temporarily extinguished, deep in the Kunlun Mountains where there is a lack of medical treatment, I am afraid that He couldn't last more than an hour or two, wouldn't that make him suffer?
This scene of a living person being burned by fire was too cruel.
Luo Ning didn't dare to look anymore and turned her head away.
Her expression was frozen.
She covered her ears and opened her mouth.
She didn't know whether she wanted to cry or shout. .
The youngest Xiao Lin was also frightened and hid behind the big man, shaking into a ball.
The second squad leader took out his pistol and wanted to help Wang Gong end his pain.
He really couldn't bear to see him suffer like this, and if he continued to shout, he would definitely cause an avalanche.
The instructor held down the hand of the second squad leader who was pulling the gun bolt and whispered to him: "Don't shoot, use the bayonet, let me do it."
There are tens of thousands of tons of snow hanging on top of the large glacier at the top of the mountain, and any sound may cause catastrophic consequences.
The only thing we can do to help Wang Gong now is to put a bayonet in his heart and let him die happily.
Without delay, the instructor took the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet from a soldier, said softly, "I'm sorry, comrade brother", closed his eyes and inserted the military bayonet into Wang Gong's heart.
Wang Gong finally stopped tearing.
With a heartbreaking howl, he fell to the ground and stopped moving, while the flames on his body continued to burn.
Just as the instructor was about to pull the bayonet out of his heart, the strange blue flame suddenly lit up and spread along the bayonet from the barrel of the rifle.
The speed of the flames was so fast that it didn't even take a blink of an eye.
Before people could see clearly what happened, the instructor's whole body was swallowed up by the blue flames.
The instructor, like Gong Wang, was struggling and screaming in pain.
Everyone knew the instructor too well.
He was definitely a tough guy.
Although he looked weak, his endurance and perseverance were up to the standards of the best professional soldiers.
Knowing how painful it was to be burned by that strange fire made him scream like this.
The second squad leader raised his pistol with tears in his eyes.
Now he couldn't control whether it would cause an avalanche.
He really couldn't bear to see the instructor suffer any more.
Just when he was about to pull the trigger, the instructor, who was covered in fire, suddenly said: " I order none of you to shoot and get your comrades out of here.”
Although the pain on the instructor's body was unbearable, he still remained conscious.
He realized that his screams might cause an avalanche.
In order to stop making any sound, he reversed the red-hot bayonet and inserted it into his heart.
After a long time, his body was burned into a pile of fine ashes.
The remaining members of the team watched this heroic and tragic scene in pain.
Everyone clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth, trying to hold back the tears rolling in their eyes.
Some people's lips were covered with tears.
Bite through.
There was no sound in the valley.
The blue sky overhead reflected on the ice of the large glacier, giving people the illusion that there seemed to be two identical skies in the world.
It was not clear which one was up and which one was up.
Below.
The scenery is as beautiful as a fairyland, but it is full of weird and terrifying atmosphere.
There are two piles of ashes on the ground.
Just a few minutes ago, they were alive, but now they have turned into small piles of ashes, so burned that not even the bones are left.
Who would have believed that such a thing would happen in the world if they had not witnessed it all with their own eyes.

Suddenly, from the ashes left after Wang Gong was burned, a blue fireball flew out.
It hovered in the air facing everyone, as if it was choosing its next target.
Its speed was extremely fast, and behind it Within the attack range, there is no guarantee that anyone can escape.
There was a slight vibration in the air, the sound made by this strange ladybug fluttering its wings.
Now the team has lost three people, all of whom are the most important members.
As the team leader's instructor, two engineers have also died.
The remaining two engineers are Luo Ning, a surveyor, and Luo Ning, a Shanghai engineer.
Liu Gong from the Geological Survey Institute seems to be unable to complete this task.
The instructor was gone, and the soldiers lost their backbone, but when facing this strange blue fireball, almost everyone had the same thought in their hearts: "I would rather be buried alive by an avalanche than be buried alive by this ghost."
The ground burned to ashes.”
Several soldiers who could not hold their breath had already raised their guns and aimed at the ladybug in the air.
The second squad leader suddenly took a step forward and said to everyone: "Comrades, the instructor died.
Now I am the captain and I order you all to surrender."
If you come back alive, you won’t be successful.”
I understood what the second squad leader wanted to do.
He wanted to sacrifice himself to buy some precious time for others to evacuate.
I grabbed his arm and choked with sobs: "No, you are not a party member, why should you go and go to me?"
The second squad leader pushed my hand away: "You little Hu, you're not even a member of the league.
I told you not to imitate my speech, but you didn't listen."
Before he finished speaking, he didn't even look back.
The ground rushed towards the ball of fire hanging in the air.
The second squad leader stopped just two steps after rushing out.
An incredible scene appeared in front of us.
The strange ladybug emitting flames transformed from one into three, each of which was the same as the original one.
Only the size is the same.
One of the three blue fireballs hit the second squad leader, and the other two burrowed into the crowd like lightning.
Including the second squad leader, the cook Lao Zhao, and the correspondent Xiao Lin were hit by the fireballs, and their whole bodies were burned.
They stood up, making miserable screams at the same time, twisting and struggling on the ground, trying to roll to put out the fire on their bodies.
A horrible thing happened.
Because the soldiers were so nervous when facing the fireball just now, they had all opened the safety bolts of their firearms, and the magazines were full of bullets.
Signal corpsman Xiao Lin is only sixteen years old.
He lacks the courage and psychological endurance of the instructor and second squad leader to face death, and the demonic fire burned away his sanity.
Under the pain of being bitten by the flames, the semi-automatic rifle in his hand misfired.
"Da da da da da", three more comrades were hit by the stray bullets he fired and fell in a pool of blood.
Things took a turn for the worst.
The instructor would rather commit suicide than let us shoot, but in the end the gun still went off.
Although being attacked by strange fire bugs is scary, an avalanche means catastrophe.
No one in the team will survive, one by one.
In the valley under a large glacier, shouting may only have a 30% chance of triggering an avalanche, but a gunshot will bring about the most terrifying consequences 200% of the time.
When I saw the unconscious Xiao Lin, his rifle went off, and three comrades were accidentally killed by stray bullets.
I didn't have time to think too much, gritted my teeth, picked up the rifle in my hand and fired three bursts, knocking down Xiao Lin and the second squad leader who were struggling painfully in the fire. and Lao Zhao.
The sound of rifle bullets echoed in the valley.
Because the valley is very narrow, and the mirror-like ice walls of the large glacier, it is simply a large natural speaker.
Gunshots, shouts, and cries set off a wave in the valley.
Another wave of echoes continued for a long time.

I was not freed from the pain of shooting my comrades with my own hands for a while.
My mind was filled with their voices and smiles when they were alive.
Suddenly I felt a chill on my head, and then I came to my senses and touched it with my hand.
It turned out to be a snowflake. fell on my forehead.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was impossible to snow at this time.
My heart sank, and the first thought that came to my mind was: "Finally the avalanche."
At this time, a blue fireball flew up from the burning corpses of the three dead comrades.
At this moment, there was no need to worry about shooting anymore.
Gawa's marksmanship was the most accurate among the team members.
He picked up the rifle without even aiming.
He raised his hand and shot three times, each shot hitting the fireball.
In the center, the ladybug inside was far smaller than the caliber of the bullet.
The entire body of the bug was destroyed by the bullet, and the flames also disappeared.
After this brief and cruel conflict, there were eight soldiers in our squad, plus the second squad leader and instructor, a total of ten people.
Now only three soldiers, Big Man, Gawa, me, and Liu Gong are still alive. and Luo Ning, two intellectuals.
More and more snow foam fell above my head, and there was a rumbling sound in the sky.
The whole valley was shaking.
I raised my head and looked up.
The snowboard above rolled up a storm, like a big white tsunami. , rolling down towards us overwhelmingly.
The big man pulled me and shouted: "Old Hu, you're a jerk.
What else are you looking at at this time?
Hurry up and put it down."
Our position is in the middle of a valley.
The avalanche will definitely fill up the entire valley, leaving no place to run.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, humans will always instinctively make one last struggle.
Luo Ning was so frightened that she fainted.
The big man carried her on his shoulders.
Gawa and I dragged Liu Gong and ran to the opposite side of the glacier, hoping to catch the avalanche.
Before, we climbed to the slightly higher hillside on the opposite side to fight for this last glimmer of hope.
Even in the most desperate moments, we did not throw away the guns in our hands.
Guns are part of a soldier's life.
Throwing away guns means throwing away a soldier's honor.
But he didn't care about anything else.
He threw away all kinds of equipment.
He wanted to untie his backpack and throw it away, but in the rush, it was too late.
The five survivors pulled each other and ran wildly.
The avalanche came so fast, sweeping over the mountain and shaking the valley for a moment.
I had heard people talk about avalanches before, but I never imagined that there would be such a powerful silver wave between heaven and earth.
At this moment, everyone was so heartbroken that they couldn't escape even if they had two more legs
