Liu Yuan didn’t expect to be caught looking. She smiled awkwardly. When Ye Jian stopped looking at her, she whispered to Wei Jiayue, “Why do I feel that the female soldier knows that we’re afraid of climbing into the truck?”
“Otherwise, why would she smile at us? She must have noticed it. That’s why she smiled at us and told us to relax,” Wei Jiayue lowered her head and spoke. Her body was extremely cold. She tightened the thick winter coat around her and deliberately avoided Ye Jian’s gaze. She tilted her body slightly. “Let’s not embarra.s.s ourselves. We have to agree to whatever they want us to do later. Trust me. With them around, they’ll definitely not let us do dangerous work.”
They were all female soldiers. They couldn’t embarra.s.s themselves here.
No one paid attention to what the two of them were whispering to each other as everyone quickly gathered together to discuss the best rescue plan.
“Shovel away the snow and rescue them at the same time. Then, we wait until the ice on the road is gone. If there are people still trapped in the truck, we’ll get the car behind to tow this car in front.”
In less than two minutes, they had decided on the best rescue method. Initially, Qin Xiu and the Tibetan soldiers had discussed rescuing the people in the truck one by one. Now, they followed the rescue plan and sped up the shoveling of the snow so that the back of the truck could be freed. They would then directly drag the front of the truck back onto the road.
However, as the two trucks were not together but were separated by a distance with a mountain of snow in between, the safest method was to rescue the trapped people in the truck first before carrying out the rest of the rescue plan.
However, even if they wanted to rescue them one by one before towing away the truck, they still had to check the situation inside the truck first.
Female soldiers who were light and agile were more suitable for this task.
There was no need for the two female cultural soldiers to take the risk. J5 said to Ye Jian, “You’re light. Tie the rope around your waist and we’ll pull you. You can climb over the roof of the truck and enter it to check the situation.”
Just like what Wei Jiayue said, the rescue team had arrived. How could they let the two female soldiers, who had been trapped for seven hours in -20 °C weather, carry out this mission?
Ye Jian tightened the rope around her waist and put on the st.u.r.dy rescue rope. Ye Jian gave an ‘okay’ sign to her comrades. She was not afraid at all. She placed her hands on the truck and climbed up the vehicle effortlessly.
The driver in the truck said, “If the truck shakes, I’ll tell you immediately. When that happens, don’t hesitate and get off immediately!”
There was still no movement inside the truck. The gla.s.s of the compartment was frozen. If not, he could have used the searchlight to observe the situation inside the truck’s compartment. Why would he need a female soldier to take the risk?
“Don’t worry, we’re here.” Long Eagle and Sparrowhawk stepped on the b.u.mper at the front of the car to ensure that the car was stable so that it wouldn’t flip over.
She went alone to the truck’s compartment that was as quiet as a bottomless abyss to check the situation. No matter how the number of comrades, one needed to muster the courage in oneself.
Liu Yuan thought that she was famous for being bold, but when she saw the female soldier who had delicate features, she immediately raised her hand and covered her eyes, not daring to look at her.
Although Wei Jiayue didn’t cover her eyes, she couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. She didn’t dare to look at her directly.
In less than a minute, Ye Jian had climbed up to the roof of the carriage. She turned around and said to the male soldier who was looking at her, “Everything is normal. Loosen the rope.”
To ensure Ye Jian’s safety, the comrades of the Xueyu unit didn’t let Ye Jian pull the climbing rope by herself. They had to loosen the rope so that she could climb a little.. They did this so that if the truck toppled, they could pull Ye Jian back.
