Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The only fortunate thing was that the snow had stopped long ago. The sky that was covered with clouds before this was now full of stars. It was completely impossible to tell that there was a snowstorm during the day.
No one could guarantee that there would not be another avalanche, and no one mentioned how they should act if there was another avalanche.
They had no other choice as they came to search for the missing troop. Even if they could not guarantee that there would not be another avalanche, they had to continue forward.
The vehicle rushed over. Before reaching the avalanche site, the third-level sergeant had been stepping hard on the brakes the entire time. As for Long Eagle, he was in charge of observing the situation along the way. Once he noticed anything unusual, he would immediately inform the driver.
Along the way, Long Eagle reminded him a few times. The driver calmed down and knew that the person sitting beside him was experienced.
The vehicle stopped about two kilometers away from the avalanche site. Other than the driver, the other soldiers had to walk on foot.
“Let’s walk by the mountain. If there’s another avalanche, we can only apologize to our comrades in the army. We can’t fly away unless we grow wings.” The squad leader joked about the possible consequences so that everyone could be mentally prepared.
The soldiers of Army Aviation replied with a smile, “We’ll wait for the iron eagles of our Army Aviation to conquer this place. If anything unexpected happens, we’ll search in the air.”
This was a very serious answer because executing border defense and air patrol was the goal of Army Aviation Regiment.
“Then I must wish for Army Aviation to conquer all the snow mountains so that it’ll be convenient for our other brothers later!” The squad leader walked in front without hesitation, letting Army Aviation lead the way into the dangerous area.
About 3,000 meters away from them, a truck was parked nearby a road. Inside the truck, seven female soldiers dressed in thick clothing were huddled together, using each other’s warmth to warm themselves up.
Occasionally, they would s.h.i.+ver and look out of the vehicle. Then, they would quickly lower their heads and hug each other for warmth and comfort.
“They’re not here yet. We won’t really freeze to death here, right?” A female soldier said in a hoa.r.s.e voice. She was very afraid, and one could tell from her trembling voice.
She opened her mouth, and a low sobbing sound could be heard. “Even if we freeze to death, it’ll be our fate. But such a sacrifice is too meaningless. Otherwise…”
The female soldier was sobbing, so she couldn’t say it out loud. Although she didn’t say it, all the female soldiers in the truck knew what she was talking about.
“What can we do? Who asked her to have a father who’s a high-ranking official? If she wants to make a contribution, we have to obediently accompany her! Others don’t even dare to send male soldiers to the Tibetan Line, but she just has to be crazy and insist on coming over! She even said that this is the time to show that we cultural soldiers are not to be trifled with. Pfft! Even if she wants to make a contribution, she doesn’t need to use our lives to do it!”
Someone immediately joined in the conversation.
It was too scary. The surroundings were so quiet that they seemed to have been completely forgotten. It was so quiet that it was as if their lives had come to an end. It was so quiet that they could not help but say things that they usually only dared to think in their hearts and never dared to say out loud.
“She must have committed a sin, which is why this happened now. Ha, maybe she was buried in the snow along with her car! Trying to show off? Let’s see how she performs when she’s dead!”
The more they said, the more the seven female soldiers felt as if there was a fire burning in their hearts.. It was so hot that it seemed like there was a flame flickering in their eyes.
