Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 602 Meng Tao's Rescue Operation

In the rushing snow stream, Lin Yuan tried hard to hold on to his skis, like a shield, blocking the frontal impact of the snow torrent, so that his chest and abdominal organs would not be hurt.

At the same time, the backpack on his back also loyally protects his back and resists damage caused by various bumps.

He felt like he was in a dream, spinning non-stop, the sky was spinning, the earth was spinning, everything was spinning. But before his eyes, there was only darkness, he could not see anything, as if he was in endless darkness.

Lin Yuan felt that he was falling into the deepest darkness, unable to move, shout, or breathe.

Only the skis he held tightly to himself made him feel that he was still alive.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt as if he had stopped falling, but the world was still spinning.

He tried hard to open his eyes, but the scenery in front of him was shaking back and forth, making him dizzy.

He finally recovered somewhat, but his vision was still dim.

His dizzy brain told him two pieces of information, one good and one bad, classic ones.

The bad news was that he was buried in the snow at this time. The wet snow blocked the light, so his vision was so dim.

The good news was that he wasn't buried too deep, so the snow didn't completely block out the light, making his vision completely dark.

The skis that he had been holding tightly in his arms were now nowhere to be found. Only the backpack was still tied tightly behind him. As for whether the items in the backpack were still there, it was completely unknown.

"System, assess my injuries." Lin Yuan muttered in his mind.

At times like this, the system is extremely useful, like an all-round health scanner, allowing him to clearly understand his physical condition.

The system's golden text immediately appeared before his eyes:

[The host's body is in a state of mild hypoxia, but otherwise there is no serious problem.]

Seeing the system's reply, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was lucky. Of course, it might also be that his extraordinary intuitive talent activated his subconscious to protect him, but in any case, he was not injured by the stones and other objects carried by the torrent of snow.

As for lack of oxygen...

They were buried alive in the wet snow. How could they not be short of oxygen?
He felt wet and freezing all over his body, and a large amount of broken ice poured into his winter clothes, making him feel very uncomfortable.

This can't go on. I have to find a way to save myself. This thought flashed through his mind.

Lin Yuan tried to move his body, but found that he was completely unable to move.

The heavy snow pressed down on him, restricting his movements so much that he could only move his hands and feet slightly. The resistance was so great that it was unimaginable.

This feeling reminded him of being thrown into a cement barrel, then filled with cement from head to toe, and welded tightly to the barrel.

It's like having countless rubber bands tied around your hands and feet, and every inch you move requires a thousand times the effort.

With such strenuous exercise, Lin Yuan felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and was almost unable to breathe. He tried hard to absorb oxygen.

The cold-proof mask that I was originally wearing on my face had been washed away somewhere in the previous avalanche.

At this time, his face was pressed tightly by the thick snow and mud, and the cold snow made his face numb.

"Huff, huff, huff..." My breathing became heavier, but my head still felt heavy and I wanted to sleep.

Lin Yuan knew that this was a reaction to extreme lack of oxygen, but he had no way to deal with it.

He had tried, but he couldn't climb out of this layer of wet snow on his own.

The reason why the survival rate after an avalanche is extremely low is that in addition to being hit by rocks mixed in the snow flow and falling to death after being carried down the cliff by the snow flow, being buried by thick snow is also one of the important causes of death.

Even ordinary soft snowflakes will be compressed tightly and densely under the action of gravity when a snow avalanche occurs, not to mention wet avalanches, which are snow flows with higher water content.

People trapped in it are like falling into a swamp, with no foothold. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink. It is impossible to climb out from the depths of the snow pile by their own strength.

But being buried under the snow, if you don't move at all, you are just waiting to die. The extreme lack of oxygen will quickly make you lose consciousness and die in a coma.

Lin Yuan could only adjust his breathing rate and try to reduce oxygen consumption, hoping to be able to hold on longer.

He knew that with his physical condition, he could not last more than 10 minutes in this environment before falling into a deep coma.

If he had not been rescued within 20 minutes, he might have died in a deep coma.

But can the crew find him and dig him out in such a short time?
The area of ​​snow after the avalanche was so large that trying to find a buried person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The reason why he still rushed forward on his skis even though he knew he could not escape the impact of the avalanche was that he hoped to be as close to Camp 3 as possible when he was buried, so that he would be buried shallower and the possibility of being rescued would be increased.

Lin Yuan didn't know where he was buried, how far away he was from Camp 3, or whether they saw him.

Everything is up to fate.

Resign yourself to fate?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, a rustling sound came from above his head.

It looks like someone is digging down with a snow shovel?

"rustle!"

"rustle!"

The sound was getting closer, and Lin Yuan felt that the light in front of him seemed to be getting brighter.

"Huchi~huchi~"

The suffocating feeling began to slowly fade away, and his breathing became smoother.

"Ding!" A sharp electronic alarm sounded.

"Rustle!" The digging sound of the snow shovel.

The two sounds mixed together and were getting closer and closer to Lin Yuan.

"Everyone, hurry up! We should be finding Lin Yuan soon!" This was Meng Tao's voice.

"Hurry up, everyone, come on!"

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

It seems that the rescue team from the crew has really arrived, and they are so fast?
Lin Yuan couldn't believe how the crew members found him so quickly.

Faced with the arrival of the rescuers, he wanted to open his mouth and shout in response, but found that his mouth and facial muscles had long been numbed by the snow tightly stuck to his face. He couldn't open his mouth to call out and could only shiver instinctively.

The crew's rescuers have already found his location, so all they have to do is wait patiently.

The sound above his head was getting closer and closer, and was about to reach Lin Yuan's head.

"Crack!"

The broken ice above Lin Yuan's head was dug away.

"Boom!"

The snow shovel hit his helmet.

"found it!"

"Great! Finally found it!"

"Come on, everyone, come and help pull Lin Yuan out."

The rescue workers worked together to quickly clear the snow around Lin Yuan and then pulled him out of the snow pile.

When the soaking wet Lin Yuan was pulled out of the snow pile, everyone carefully placed him on the stretcher that had been prepared.

Lin Yuan was frozen and couldn't turn his head to look around, but at a glance he could roughly tell that almost all the crew members participated in the rescue.

Director Cohen, Meng Tao, GAKKI, Charlize and others are among them.

At this moment, GAKKI immediately rushed forward: "Lin Yuan, are you okay?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

"Why aren't you talking? Where are you hurt?" GAKKI became even more anxious.

Meng Tao stepped forward and quickly checked Lin Yuan's condition, finding no obvious injuries. "Don't worry, he must have frozen stiff. His facial muscles are numb, so he can't speak."

"Lin Yuan, can you hear me? If you can understand, just blink your eyes." Meng Tao asked.

Lin Yuan blinked.

"Do you feel any pain or injury? I don't see any external injuries on you. If you have any internal injuries, you need to tell me. If you feel obvious discomfort, just blink your eyes." Meng Tao continued to ask.

Lin Yuan didn't blink.

Seeing Lin Yuan trying hard to keep his eyes open, Meng Tao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then he's fine. I don't know if this guy is lucky or just has incredible physique. He managed to survive the avalanche unscathed."

After hearing Meng Tao's words, everyone finally felt relieved.

GAKKI-chan on the side quickly stepped forward and wrapped a warm blanket around Lin Yuan.

Charlize picked up a heater and stuffed it into his arms.

The warm feeling coming from his body made Lin Yuan recover quickly.

After about 5 minutes, Lin Yuan felt that the stiffness on his face had completely disappeared. It was no longer like before, as if his entire face had turned into a wooden mask.

So he tried to speak: "I...have...much."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was able to speak, GAKKI immediately brought him another cup of hot water: "Lin Yuan, drink some hot water."

She held the water and carefully fed it into Lin Yuan's mouth.

The warm water flowed into his body through his esophagus. Lin Yuan felt like a stream of heat was injected into his body, which further revived him.

"I should be fine." Lin Yuan's speech became fluent.

The numbness in my face has completely subsided.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's condition had improved a lot, the rescue crew immediately felt relieved.

"Let's go back to the camp first. You need to change your wet clothes quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get sick." Meng Tao said.

After that, under his command, the rescuers lifted the stretcher and took him back to Camp 3.

After walking for about 7 or 8 minutes, they returned to Camp 3. No wonder the crew members were able to quickly reach the place where he was buried.

Lin Yuan turned his head and saw that the snow caused by the avalanche had already rushed over the hillside below the camp and stopped not far away. Because Camp 3 was located on a small raised hillside, the snow at the end of its strength posed no threat at all.

Lin Yuan was carried on a stretcher into his silkworm pupa tent. GAKKI and Charlize quickly took off Lin Yuan's wet mountaineering clothes, helped him dry his body, and changed into dry new clothes.

"Lin Yuan, are you really okay?"*2
"Didn't you guys check me all over just now? Are you still worried?" Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "You all know how fast my body recovers. I'll be back to my best by lunch."

Lin Yuan touched their heads and said, "I'm going to look for Meng Tao. He saved me today, and I have to thank him."

Seeing the two people trying to help him, Lin Yuan shook his head: "I'm really fine, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he crawled out of the tent.

After leaving the tent, Lin Yuan stood up, straightened his back, and walked towards Meng Tao and Director Cohen who were waiting at the tent door.

"Are you okay?" Meng Tao asked.

"Why don't you take a break?" Director Cohen said.

"Well, I just felt a little cold, which is nothing. I really have to thank you for coming so quickly, but how did you locate my position so quickly?" Lin Yuan asked his doubts.

Meng Tao pointed at Lin Yuan's belt and said, "There's a signal transmitter on the waist buckle that can assist GPS and achieve precise positioning. The closer the distance, the stronger the signal, and we can achieve 50-centimeter-level precision positioning."

After hearing Meng Tao's explanation, Lin Yuan remembered that when he went to Yala Snow Mountain to film this time, the full set of mountaineering equipment for each crew member was planned and prepared by Meng Tao.

At first he didn't understand why he needed a belt. Wouldn't it be enough to use his own?
Now it seems that Meng Tao really prepared for a rainy day.

"Thank you, you saved me once." Lin Yuan said.

Meng Tao shook his head: "Why thank me? This is my job responsibility."

Seeing that Lin Yuan wanted to speak, Meng Tao spoke first:

"Although I was responsible for safety during the years I filmed with you, I knew deep down that every successful filming was largely due to your own hard work.

If someone else had come, the result wouldn't have been much different. I didn't play a big role at all.

Even a few days ago, I asked you to risk your life and go into the Kalonos Cave to save me.

I felt like a failure as a security leader.”

"Meng Tao, you have done a great job. Without you, I might have died many times." Lin Yuan said.

Lin Yuan said this sincerely, as he was well aware of the brilliance of Meng Tao that had been overshadowed by him over the years.

Whether it's the safety rope used to climb the Dubai Tower, the parachute used when descending from a high-rise building, the deceleration net used to absorb the impact of a human slingshot, or the fire-resistant clothing used when facing a forest fire...

Only when Meng Tao is personally in charge of these equipment can Lin Yuan use them with peace of mind.

Meng Tao never made any mistakes in terms of safety measures, which became a guarantee for Lin Yuan when he took risks and risked his life to shoot.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Meng Tao nodded and said, "I appreciate your affirmation of me, but I can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

I always feel that I haven't done enough and haven't been able to be your guarantee.

I swear to be your backup and to be able to truly help you."

"You did it today, you saved my life." Lin Yuan said gratefully.

"I'm glad I could do it, but it's just my duty, so don't thank me, or I'll feel like you're slapping me in the face." Meng Tao didn't want to continue the topic, so he smiled his signature smirk and said, "You were buried by an avalanche today. Tell me how it felt. I'm really curious."

"The first half felt like being stuffed into a washing tub, shaking my brain until it turned into paste. The second half felt like being poured with cement, cold and completely unable to move. It felt terrible." Lin Yuan complained.

"Is it so bad? But you look so handsome in front of the camera." Meng Tao said with a smile.

"Camera?"

“Yeah! When the avalanche hit the west front, Director Cohen released a drone to capture this magnificent scene.

Unexpectedly, we were so unlucky that the avalanche on the west line caused a chain reaction of avalanches on the west line as well.

So immediately the drone is over you, and the image of you hurtling down the slope on your skis is just amazing.”

As he spoke, Meng Tao nodded, and Director Cohen handed over a miniature camera and played the recorded footage.

It was like a landslide, with countless piles of snow gathering into a torrent and rushing down.

The avalanche head formed a winding curve, and as it rushed downward, it stirred up snow mist more than 20 meters high, like the dust raised by a galloping horse, making it even more majestic.

In front of the torrent of ice and snow, a tiny figure rushed down quickly on skis, like a surfer in front of a huge wave.

Cool, this scene is so cool!

But the next moment, the handsomeness was replaced by embarrassment.

Lin Yuan's figure rolled and was swallowed by the snow. His black mountaineering suit fluttered a few times in the white snow torrent and disappeared without a trace.

"Um... the latter part will be cut out and only the former part will be retained," said Director Cohen.

"Keep the first paragraph?" Lin Yuan said he didn't understand what it meant.

"It would be a shame not to put such a wonderful scene into the movie. I plan to modify the script for this avalanche scene. When the time comes, you can cooperate with me to shoot a few plot clips so that this scene can be integrated into the movie." Director Cohen explained.

After hearing what the director said, Lin Yuan understood.

After all, a horrific natural disaster like an avalanche is impossible to film under normal circumstances, so the script will not include such a plot in advance.

But now that it has happened and such an amazing scene has been captured, it would be a shame not to include it in the movie.

Even if it means revising the script, it's well worth it.

Is there any movie that actually filmed an avalanche scene?

This is highly consistent with the "grand" theme of "Lord of Spy V: The Last Airbender", and when put into the movie, the effect is naturally outstanding.

If we cut out a clip of the avalanche scene, label it as a real-life live-action film, and put it on the Internet as a promotion for the film, we could probably earn hundreds of millions more at the box office.

This avalanche can be said to have further increased the box office potential of "Lord of Spy Wars 2".

Lin Yuan nodded and turned to look towards the top of the mountain: "Let's talk about something else. Let's discuss the next work."

"Don't you need to rest for a day or two? Your health is important." Director Cohen said with concern.

"It's okay, I'll be almost back to normal in the afternoon." Lin Yuan insisted.

Seeing his firm attitude, Director Cohen and Meng Tao said no more.

Meng Tao pointed to the somewhat shabby mountain path after being washed away by the avalanche and said, "That avalanche just now almost released all the accumulated snow. We don't have to worry about the danger of avalanches for the short term, so we can concentrate on filming."

"Then after lunch, let's open up a route to the big ice wall together. We need to go to the site to investigate so that we can start filming as soon as possible." Lin Yuan said.

Filming at such a high altitude takes a huge toll on the crew members' bodies, and staying there for a long time may cause various altitude sicknesses.

Therefore, Lin Yuan decided to seize every minute and finish the filming as soon as possible.

Meng Tao naturally understood Lin Yuan's idea. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll set off together this afternoon. Bring the tools we need to climb the ice wall and test the results on site."

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first. See you after lunch." Lin Yuan waved and said goodbye to the two of them.

He bent down and crawled on the ground again, crawling back into the silkworm pupa tent.

"Are we going to the big ice wall this afternoon?" Charlize asked.

Obviously they heard the conversation between Lin Yuan, Meng Tao and others just now.

Lin Yuan nodded. "If we stay here for too long, something bad could happen. Now that there's no avalanche threat, we should speed up. We'll try to finish inspecting the filming location this afternoon and then finalize this scene tomorrow."

Charlize rubbed her hands: "A little nervous."

"Are you nervous now? Weren't you full of confidence before?" Lin Yuan teased with a smile.

"I'm worried about you. Why should I worry about myself?" Charlize knocked on Lin Yuan's head.

"Why are you worried about me? Even if something really happens, can't I still rely on you? Just don't cut my safety rope then." Lin Yuan held her hand.

"Humph! I'll cut it!" Charlize replied.

"You'd better do what you say!" Lin Yuan was not afraid at all.

The scene of climbing the big ice wall can be regarded as one of the two climaxes of "The King of Spy 2": the other is the wildfire in the Maple Leaf Country.

Of course, now there may be another big avalanche.

But no matter what, climbing the big ice wall is a very important scene in "The King of Spy 2".

This scene can be said to be the upgraded MAX, PRO version of climbing the Burj Khalifa in "The King of Spy Wars".

Compared to the two most thrilling elements of the Burj Khalifa: height and strong wind.

As for the Yala Snow Mountain Ice Wall, in addition to the comprehensive upgrade of the above two elements, it also has the extreme cold of the ten-thousand-year-old ice wall and the lack of oxygen at high altitudes, which makes the difficulty completely on a different level.

Another point that needs special attention is that when Lin Yuan climbed the Burj Khalifa, he climbed with his bare hands, which is also one of the biggest sources of excitement.

Therefore, in order to maintain this sense of excitement, Lin Yuan also climbed the large ice wall with his bare hands.

According to the plot of "Lord of Spy Vs. King ...

Therefore, they could not take a helicopter or parachute from an airplane, and could only climb up secretly and quietly using their hands and feet.

While climbing, Lin Yuan and Charlize encountered a snowstorm and Charlize lost her equipment.

This resulted in the two of them only having one set of safety equipment left when climbing the large ice wall.

When filming the scene of climbing the large ice wall, Charlize wore a full set of safety protection equipment, while Lin Yuan climbed with his bare hands except for an ice axe.

There is a safety rope connecting the two people.

According to the shooting plan, when Lin Yuan was about to climb to the top of the big ice wall, he accidentally slipped, and Charlize pulled Lin Yuan with a safety rope.

The two of them overcame difficulties together and successfully reached the top.

In this scene, Lin Yuan was bound to slip, so he would jokingly ask people not to cut his safety rope.

During the filming, his life was literally hanging by a thread, held in Charlize’s hands.

Charlize: (▔ Pan▔)
I won't cut the rope then, but I'll shake it a little to scare you.

I want to avenge you for shaking my dick these past two nights!
