Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 330: Avalanche!



Whoo-whoo-whoo~

Amidst the roaring of the engine, with the Unimog at the head plowing through the snowflakes, it seemed they were about to emerge from this treacherous cliffside.

Boom~

The accumulation of snow on the cliff became thicker and thicker, perhaps due to the vibration of the vehicle, or maybe because of the falling snow from the sky, adding pressure to the snow layers.

Suddenly, snowflakes from the right side of the cliff collapsed.

The pile grew as it rolled.

Rumble~

Upon hearing this thunderous sound, Li Yu felt his heart skip a beat.

His eyes immediately darted to the adjacent cliff, only to see the snow atop the neighboring peak tumbling down, rolling up more snow along its descent and forming even larger snowballs.

"Not good! Speed up!" Li Yu shouted in an instant.

Unaware of what was happening, Dapao nevertheless responded to Li Yu's command by unleashing the full horsepower of the vehicle, accelerating it forward.

When the avalanche occurred, it was too late for anything else.

In a split second,

A massive snowball, about six or seven meters in diameter, rolled over in a flash.

Thud~

The snowball smashed straight onto the vehicle, burying more than half of the car.

The impact of the snowball pushed the Unimog laterally for four or five meters.

Since everyone was wearing seat belts inside the vehicle, they were uninjured. However, Li Hang had just been struck against the table in front of him due to the impact, causing a trickle of blood to run down his forehead.

Although impacted, fortunately, the Unimog escaped the brunt of the snowball's impact thanks to the acceleration just a moment ago, narrowly avoiding a rollover.

Yang Tianlong, who was driving a big truck behind, watched in dismay as the enormous snowball crashed down in front.

Buried beneath the snowball, he could no longer see the road ahead, only a three-meter-tall snow mound.

Frantically, Yang Tianlong grabbed his walkie-talkie to ask, "Li Yu, are you guys okay?"

Li Yu shook his somewhat dizzy head, looked back to see that Old Xie and the others behind were still alright, and picked up the walkie-talkie to respond, "We're fine. What about you guys?"

Relieved to hear Li Yu's response, Yang Tianlong was about to reply when,

"We are... " Before Yang Tianlong could finish speaking, a loud noise interrupted him.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Li Yu heard a loud noise coming from behind.

The initial avalanche had triggered even more snow from the sides, which then smashed directly onto the truck behind.

Dozens of tons of snow, like a tidal wave, submerged and buried the truck.

Sitting in the car, both Li Yu and Dapao heard the noise from behind, and Li Yu exchanged a glance with Dapao after Yang Tianlong's unfinished sentence.

Something had gone wrong in the back!

At that moment, the snow on both sides of the cliff reacted to the two avalanches, setting off a chain reaction, causing more blocks of snow to roll down at the front and back, burying the national highway completely.

The truck behind had been lifted by the rolling snow during the second avalanche, similar to a mudslide, pushing up the vehicle's right tires.

Before the truck could tilt and overturn, more snow collapsed from the left.

From the left and right, the vehicle was engulfed.

However, the truck was tilted at a 45-degree angle, with snow pressing on both sides of the tires.

Right when Yang Tianlong was reeling from the powerful shock, the walkie-talkie he was holding in his right hand was flung away by inertia.

Inside the truck, after the two violent impacts from the snow, Shang Xue'er was knocked unconscious.

Yang Tianlong also felt dizzy from the impact. Looking around, snow covered the windows and windshield, completely burying them.

A slight movement stirred a crackling sound from beneath.

The snow had lifted the truck, which now sat at an angle, and Yang Tianlong's movements made the inclination even more severe.

Yang Tianlong immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and moved to the other side, the hanging right tires slowly sinking due to his added weight.

But it only decreased a little, from a 45-degree tilt to a 30-degree tilt.

"Tianlong, Tianlong, how's it over there?" Li Yu's voice came from the walkie-talkie on the ground.

Yang Tianlong struggled to shift his body, making small movements, and slowly picked up the walkie-talkie that had fallen under the seat.

"We, Shang Xue'er is unconscious, I'm alright, cough cough, the engine's off, tried it, can't start it. We're buried in snow now. No idea how thick it is," said Yang Tianlong.

Meanwhile, Li Yu and the others were also buried in snow up to the majority of their vehicle.

"Hang in there, we're coming to rescue you," said Li Yu.

"Bro, should I get out of the car to take a look?" suggested Li Hang from the backseat.

Li Yu waved his hand and said,

"If you get off, you might get buried in the snow too, don't get out. Get on the roof first and check if all the snow around us has rolled down.

We need to see if all the surrounding snow has stopped falling; I'm worried about more snowballs rolling down. If that happens a couple more times, we'll all die here."

Lao Lu was on the roof of the RV, trying to push it twice without success.

So Lao Xie beside him also went to help push. With their joint efforts, they managed to open a gap in the roof, but soon the snow outside fell in, although not much.

Clang!

The rooftop window was pushed open, and the snow piled above rolled to the side.

The snow fell into the vehicle like sunshine, soon forming a small pile.

But there really wasn't much snow on top of the window, so after some fell, it stopped.

Li Yu left the passenger seat and climbed straight onto the roof.

Creak creak~

He crawled onto the roof, stepping onto the snow-covered surface.

Looking around, the snow was still falling, and it was white everywhere.

Standing on the Unimog's roof felt like standing on flat ground; the surrounding snow was generally higher than where he stood, except for a taller snow pile some six or seven meters away.

That's where Dapao and the others must be.

However, their vehicle was completely buried. Li Yu made a quick estimate; the Unimog was nearly 3 meters tall. It was precisely because they accelerated and took the first hit that they avoided the core area of the avalanche, so their current position should be the lowest point in the pile of snow.

Even so, most of the Unimog was buried.

The truck behind, standing over four meters tall, now showed no trace at all, indicating that the pile of snow behind was at least five meters high!

Fuck!

Li Yu was almost unable to open his eyes due to the blizzard and quickly put on his ski goggles.

Creak creak~

Lao Lu had also climbed up. Seeing this scene in front of him, he was too shocked to speak.

The road was originally just over a meter deep with snow. Now, the direction they were heading in was generally over two meters deep.

The snow behind was even higher, forming a small slope, and the farther back, the higher it got.

"Lao Lu, do you see if the snow on top of the mountain has almost collapsed?" Li Yu shouted at Lao Lu beside him in the cold wind.

"Yeah, it all fell down. It shouldn't roll down again for a while. But we need to hurry. It's still snowing, and if we don't leave quickly, we'll be buried just the same," Lao Lu shouted back.

Li Yu went down into the vehicle: "Get ready to start the engine and clear a path ahead first."

"Okay." Seeing that Lao Lu had also come down, Dapao immediately started the engine.

The vehicle had only been turned off for less than two minutes, so starting it again shouldn't be a problem.

Vroom vroom vroom~

The vehicle started successfully, and everyone's heavy hearts lightened a bit.

Thank goodness.

Since there were cliffs on both sides, there were no trenches to worry about, meaning there was no fear of the vehicle falling into a ditch and getting stuck.

So they pushed the vehicle forward.

Rumble rumble.

As the vehicle roared, it moved forward a few meters, and the snow behind it came tumbling down, burying the position they had just been in.

Li Yu looked back and continued, "Shovel the snow ahead to the side, we need to hurry, Tianlong and the others can't hold out much longer."

Dapao frowned tightly, focused on shoveling the snow.

A few minutes later, the snow over two meters high in front had been shoveled to the side, creating a vacuum zone of about ten square meters in the middle.

"Turn around, we'll drive back to help them dig out," Li said.

"Okay." Dapao nodded.

Everyone was very nervous, intently observing the situation around them.

"Tianlong, hold on a bit longer, we're on our way," Li Yu said through the walkie-talkie.

"Okay." Yang Tianlong replied simply, then turned to look at Shang Xue'er, who was still unconscious.

"Xue'er, wake up, wake up," Yang Tianlong shook Shang Xue'er's shoulder, trying to wake her.

The temperature inside the vehicle was very low, there was no heating, and it was dropping steadily.

"Mm~" With a moan, Shang Xue'er slowly opened her eyes, and saw Yang Tianlong's face, slightly purple from the cold, in front of her.

Feeling that her body was still hanging in the air, Shang Xue'er shifted her body and said in a dazed way, "Where are we now?"

"We're buried in snow. They're coming to rescue us. Let's not move; the vehicle is hanging in the air because the snow pushed it, and it's easy to collapse if we move," Yang Tianlong explained patiently.

"Okay."

Whoosh whoosh~

Dapao and the others kept driving towards where Yang Tianlong's group was buried and shoveling snow into it.

But there was just too much snow on their side. Every time they cleared it, more snow would slide down from above.

This was unavoidable. If they were to dig a hole in, nobody could guarantee that it wouldn't collapse, which would be even more troublesome.

"Xiaoyu, our car is hanging in the air. The second wave of snow pushed us up, but then the snow that fell from the left pressured us down, we are now tilting 30 degrees on the right..."

Yang Tianlong, hearing the rumble outside, knew that it was Li Yu and the others coming, and so told Li Yu their exact situation.

"Okay, don't move around, conserve your strength," Li Yu replied.

Yang Tianlong and Shang Xue'er maintained their original positions inside, not daring to move carelessly.
