Finally, the repair team was found.
"You lost contact with the hotel.Do you have an accident?"
"We got a notice that there was no signal nearby that night.Ray is indifferent.It was snowy and a fallen tree was in our way after we drove for some time.We had no navigator and lost our way after driving for a while.A car was trapped and we were anxious..." They talked.
Everyone looked tired and weak.
It was freezing cold and the car engine was broken.
They could only wait for help with the headlights on.
The leader of the team said slowly, "We tried to ask for help with the satellite phones, but we failed.The people at the foot of the mountain are influenced by the weather.The communication apparatus in the town is seriously damaged.And we couldn't get through the public emergency call."
He was in despair.
"Give me the satellite phone"
Chandler urged anxiously.
The leader roared in despair, "We cannot get through.I've tried hundreds of times!"
Chandler was serious.He got into the car and rummaged for their backup tools.
After he found the black satellite phone, he was relieved.
It would be out of battery.He dialed the number.
Chandler was anxious.
He held the phone and waited.
He waited for some time but no one answered.
"Damn it!"
"What's Patrick doing?" Chandler cursed irritably.
Seeing that he couldn't get through, the leader sneered, "It suddenly snows.
The weather bureau didn't predict the extremely cold weather.
The people at the foot of the mountain are busy dealing with the traffic...
We have to wait for at least three days for their help."
"We can't wait three days!"
Charles gritted his teeth and roared.He kept calming himself down before.He was shocked now and ran to Chandler.
He urged, "Keep calling Patrick."
The leader was exhausted and leaned against the back seat, "No one will come in the snowstorm..."
"What's it?"
Suddenly, they looked around in horror.
The mountain shook.
The leader was experienced.
He got out of the car and looked to the east of the mountain.
He said in a hoarse voice, "It is an avalanche."
Charles looked at the mountain.
It was a ski resort.
He didn't know why he was anxious.
"Fortunately, no one will go to the ski resort now...there are several avalanches after a snowstorm every year.
It is disastrous.
It seems that a lot of equipment has been destroyed:"
The leader took out a pair of binoculars from the car.
He was serious and looked at the mountain that was smashed by the heavy snow.
The trees and equipment were buried in the snow.
It was white there.It was empty and silent.
"There is another sound..."
Charles looked up at the dark sky excitedly.
It was the sound of mechanical rotation.It was a helicopter! They jumped out of the car and looked up in unison.
The sound of the helicopter was getting bigger.
They were ecstatic.
"Helicopters!"
Two helicopters appeared.
They were illuminated by the high-intensity lights.
They waved excitedly at the sky and shouted, "Here, here..."
"Help."
The helicopter flew through but didn't land.
