Chapter 1822 - Tentative
Chapter 1822: Tentative
Ye Jian, who had rested for three hours, was really not tired anymore. Seeing that her comrades had returned to the tent obediently, she walked to the snowdrift that still looked like a small mountain even though it had been shoveled for more than three hours. There seemed to be no changes.
“There’s too much snow piled up on it. The snow kept falling from the mountain during shoveling, which re-covered the road that we had shoveled.” Qin Xiu, who was massaging his aching wrists, explained. His eyes were gentle as he looked at Ye Jian honestly, “I’m afraid that we will need at least five hours. Although they are also shoveling snow over there, I am afraid the situation is the same as ours.”
The snow was connected to the mountain. Shoveling snow was like shoveling a pile of sand; the more you shovel, the more snow sinks. If the mountain snow were disconnected from the avalanche, then phenomena like snow recovering their road would not occur.
When he got closer to her, the snow-white light illuminated the side of her face. Qin Xiu could clearly see her delicate jade-like skin on her fair forehead and her long, black eyelashes. When she blinked, her eyelashes were like a feather scratching his heart lightly.
He watched her closely to engrave her face to his heart. The girl who had been looking up at him suddenly changed her expression, and she shouted, “Go back, quick!”
Seeing this, several Tibetan soldiers quickly retreated without any hesitation, while Ye Jian pulled Qin Xiu’s cuff and ran away.
Xia Jinyuan, who was on the other side, and not knowing the scouts in the team, actually retracted the snow shovel, like a pro, and suddenly pulled one of his comrades with both hands, and yelled, “Go back!”
G3 and Li Jinnian reacted and quickly retreated. A snow layer connected to the mountain rolled down, overlapping each other. After a minute, large snow layers connected to the mountain fell down like a pile of sand.
“Boom…boom…boom…” There were snow and dust everywhere, and there was a white mist in front of them. The thin snow instantly blurred everyone’s face.
This was the widest range of avalanche. When the snow mist dispersed, the mountain was directly disconnected from the snow. Several beams of searchlights illuminated the mountain. Xia Jinyuan signaled his comrades behind him to turn off all the searchlights, and then he turned off his own, following by blinking continuously.
Similarly, they could see the light on the opposite side. It seemed that J5 and the others had not rested either. Both sides intended to open the road tonight.
Soon, the searchlights over the other side were also turned off. Ye Jian continued to flash her searchlights in response. This was the way the Elite Platoon asked, “Is it safe?”
They could be rest assured if everything was safe.
J5, who was about to take a rest, heard the movement and ran out again. Even the female soldiers ran out from their tent. The snowfall was a bit loud; even the ground shook.
“I just contacted the opposing comrades; everything is fine. The Tibetan soldiers said that now we don’t need to worry about the snow on the mountain sinking again. We just have to focus to clear the way.” Ye Jian explained to J5 and conveniently explained to Du Jiayi and the others, who trotted their way over and were still panting to catch their breath.
Du Jiayi asked Qin Xiu directly, “Reporter Qin, how long will it take to restore the road?”
“I don’t know.” Qin Xiu was reluctant to talk to Du Jiayi. His voice became much lower, and he spoke as if his voice was hoarse, “According to the current status, I assume it will take another 5 hours.”
“Reporter Qin, I see that you know Ye Jian, the female soldier who rescued us. Could you please give me her contact information so that I can thank her properly”? Although Du Jiayi talked to Qin Xiu with a different intention, her voice was still sweet, and perhaps because she had just woken up, her voice was a little bit more haggard and charming. Her polite and charming way could really let others have a good impression of her.
