At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao chose a windswept hill. Although this place could not completely avoid the danger of avalanches, it was at least the best place he could find so far.

After notifying the backup force, all members temporarily repaired in place. Zhang Hao made sure that his physical strength could still support him, so he walked around and checked the surrounding terrain.

In an icy and snowy environment, one's sight can deceive the brain, and most of the sense of distance and direction will be lost. Moreover, Changbai Mountain's current magnetic field is disordered due to special reasons, and the compass often fails. Fortunately, he has been a mountaineer for so long. The sense of direction on the steep terrain in the mountains is much better than that of ordinary people.

They are now almost halfway up the mountain, but he has not felt any abnormal energy fluctuations yet. Maybe this is not the destination. After resting tonight, they should continue climbing the mountain.

The team members are in good physical condition and almost all are used to activities in extremely cold environments.

"Captain, the backup troops have arrived and are setting up tents now."

A hoarse voice came from behind, and it was a little distorted, as if there was something behind it.

Zhang Hao turned around and saw a woman wearing snow glasses and a mask standing behind him. There were only two women in the entire team. He was very sure that this was not Li Siyu, so there was only one candidate.

"Yinhui? Why did you come to me?"

Zhang Hao looked over and saw that this place was about one kilometer away from the large Black Crow base, which was indeed quite far for the snowy environment.

"I'm here to tell you to go back. Sister Siyu has already retreated into the tent. Shall we leave too? The tent will be almost set up when we return to the camp."

"it is good."

The two of them were returning side by side. When they passed by a raised stone, Yinhui accidentally stepped on it. The sole of her foot slipped and she subconsciously grabbed Zhang Hao's sleeve next to her.

Seeing that Zhang Hao was about to be brought down by him, Yinhui quickly let go without dragging him down.

This time, it was Zhang Hao who grabbed Yinhui and fell with her while protecting the back of her head.

His back hit hard stone. If the back of Yin Hui's head really hit it, even with a down hat, he would probably be injured.

Zhang Hao was a little frightened, and his voice could not help but become serious: "Be careful when walking! The terrain here is complicated, and you will be injured if you are not careful!"

Although the tone was stern, there was unconcealed concern. Yinhui listened blankly, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Seeing that she didn't speak for so long, Zhang Hao thought that he had gone too far. Thinking that the other party was still a teenage girl no matter what, he softened his tone and spoke again: "I don't mean to scold you, I just I want you to understand the current situation. Since you were invited to join this team, we definitely need your ability. What if you were injured and quit before that?"

"I, I know you are worried about me!" Yinhui came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Hao's guilty look, and quickly shook his hand and explained: "I didn't think too much, I knew it in my heart."

A gust of wind blew by, making people's scalp numb with coldness. Zhang Hao tightened his clothes, shrank his neck and said, "Let's go, it's really getting late."

When the two returned to the camp, Li Siyu was standing outside the tent looking around. Seeing Zhang Hao, she quickly climbed out of the tent.

"You guys are back, haven't you encountered any problems?"

Yinhui couldn't help but blush as she recalled the close contact with Zhang Hao just now. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses so no one would notice her appearance.

"No, I just went ahead to check the road." Zhang Hao stepped forward and touched Li Siyu's hand. It was as cold as the snow on the ground, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What happened? You're all huddled in the tent, and your hands are still so cold."

"I just wiped my hands with a wet tissue. I haven't had time to warm them yet. You should warm them up too."

"No, I want to see how everyone else is doing."

This is the responsibility of the captain, and Zhang Hao does not intend to shirk it or pretend it does not exist.

Looking at Zhang Hao's busy back, Li Siyu couldn't help but feel yearning in his eyes. There was a time when Zhang Hao was still an idle gangster in her mind, but before she knew it, he had become an upright man.

Those memories even made her feel so long ago, as if they were already in the last century.

"Miss Yinhui, can we talk?"

"Huh? Oh...Okay."

Although Li Siyu's expression was very kind, Yin Hui always felt guilty... like a rat in the gutter coveting other people's food.

"Come to the tent and I'll pour you some hot water."

Li Siyu was criticized internally for being a close support team member, pouring hot water, handing over equipment and so on. Anyone can do this job. Li Siyu didn't feel that he had much to do, so he didn't cause trouble as long as he could. All as low-key as possible.

——This is the first time she has actively asked to talk to someone other than Zhang Hao.

When they arrived at the tent, Yinhui saw a small path with a brand new pot on it. The warm water inside was slightly yellow, and there was a small section of dead grass floating on the water.

Li Siyu scooped out the dead grass with a spoon, and filled Yinhui with more than half a cup of water using a paper cup.

"Come on, warm your hands."

"Thank you, Sister Siyu."

Next, both of them fell silent, and no one took the initiative to speak. Underneath the calm sea surface is a turbulent undercurrent, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly depressing.

After a long time, Yinhui put down the cold water glass and took off his mask and glasses.

The moment he saw Yinhui's face, Li Siyu raised his eyebrows slightly in shock.

Youthfulness and charm appeared on her face at the same time, and coupled with her pale complexion, she became even more pitiful.

"Sister Siyu, do you want to ask me something about Brother Hao?"

"……Yes."

It's time to come.

Yinhui adjusted his heartbeat and tried not to panic. But at the same time, I was also thinking - is it really that obvious?

She didn't dare to take off her mask and sunglasses along the way. Was her liking really so obvious that Li Siyu could see it?

"I want to ask you, when we were at Xianglu Shenzhai..."

Has anything happened to you that I don't know about? Yinhui had already completed his words silently in her heart.

"Don't be nervous. I don't want to pry into your privacy. I just want to know... what happened to my husband in southern Xinjiang. You can say whatever you want, even if it's a little detail. I want to know more about him. .”

"what?"

Yinhui was also stunned.

How can anyone know about their husband from other people’s words? And he was someone we had only known each other for a few days.

Li Siyu also became ashamed and scratched his forehead with his fingers: "I always feel that he is too gentle in front of me. He is not even willing to say harsh words. It always feels like he is deliberately giving in to me. This makes me I have some doubts about what Zhang Hao looks like under equal conditions."

Yinhui: "..."

Is this showing off?

No, she should be really curious.

Yinhui couldn't laugh or cry, and even his vigilance dropped a lot.

"You make me don't know how to answer."

Li Siyu also smiled bitterly. Even she thought this request was ridiculous, but she still asked it.

"You may not believe it. Before marrying me, Zhang Hao's image in the village was always that of an idle gangster who couldn't do anything. He was extremely selfish and had a bad temper..."

"Wait a minute, are you sure you are talking about Zhang Hao?"

"Yes." Li Siyu nodded very firmly: "But when I saw him, he was already what you see now. I don't know what went wrong that caused such a deviation in the impression. If Zhang Hao’s character is really as rumored, wouldn’t he have been approaching me wearing a mask for so long?”

In fact, Li Siyu didn't think so. She just wanted to give Yinhui a reason. "Well, I'm not sure I remember everything, but I'll tell you as much as I can about him..."

In the next two hours or so, Yinhui briefly recounted what happened at Xianglu Shenzhai, which was very different from what Zhang Hao had told Li Siyu at home.

From Yinhui's description, Zhang Hao's image is very different from Li Siyu's imagination, except that he is a little more alienated. Their relationship is not close and they have only known each other for a short time, so this attitude is naturally normal.

In other words, Zhang Hao is a consistent person.

But... Li Siyu still has a lot of doubts in his heart.

"Aren't you done talking yet?"

The moment Zhang Hao's voice sounded outside the tent, the two people inside stood up at the same time.

"Ah, that's it."

Outside the tent, Zhang Hao held two bowls of instant noodles and stuffed them into Li Siyu's hands: "You two eat, and go to bed immediately after eating. You will get up at dawn tomorrow morning. Remember to zip up the tent later to prevent the wind from coming in." , also pay attention to the small stove.”

"Are we two sleeping in such a big tent?" Yinhui came over curiously.

She thought that there were so many people here, and she wouldn't mind if men and women really mixed together. They never thought that this would be exclusive to the two of them.

"The man is snoring too loudly. I'm afraid you two won't sleep well and it will affect your actions tomorrow. Please sleep well."

Before Zhang Hao left, he wanted to kiss Li Siyu, but Yinhui was present, so he had to give up, touched Li Siyu's head and left.

Li Siyu blushed while holding the instant noodles. When she turned around, she saw the envy in Yin Hui's eyes that he had not yet had time to hide.

"what happened to you?"

"I'm fine, just eat."

After Yinhui took it, he sat silently on the ground and started eating. Li Siyu stopped talking to him. The night passed a bit long.

late at night.

Rumbling--

After a loud noise, the ground shook.

"Run! There's an avalanche!"

The screams came one after another, and all the sleepiness in Li Siyu was instantly driven away.

She turned around and saw that Yinhui was still asleep, frowning tightly, presumably because of insomnia and not having a good rest.

"Wake up!"

Li Siyu shook Yinhui's body vigorously, and it took several seconds to wake her up.

""ah? What's wrong? "

"I heard an avalanche outside, get up quickly, we have to escape!"

Having said that, the ground seems to be really shaking... Oops!

Yinhui was completely awake and pulled Li Siyu out and ran outside.

When I came to the tent door, the damn zipper couldn't be opened!

"Why is it so tight? Is it frozen outside?"

"It's really possible that there's water vapor in the house. Let me do it." Li Siyu and Yinhui pulled the tent hard together.

But the tent set up by the support troops was too tight and could not be opened no matter what they did. Li Siyu even despaired.

The shaking of the ground became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the next moment she and her tent would be completely buried under the deep snow.

"Damn it, what the hell!"

Yinhui's voice was filled with tears. Sure enough, he was still young and couldn't bear the trouble.

"It doesn't matter, Zhang Hao will come to save us."

"The situation is so chaotic, will he come?"

As soon as they finished speaking, a dagger suddenly stabbed into their tent!

The two of them were startled and shrank back a little.

After the dagger opened the tent's opening, a pair of hands reached in and tore a larger opening with force!

The people outside looked panicked, panting, and even the clothes on their bodies were not zipped. In the cold Changbai Mountain, there was only a thin and pitiful inner jacket!

It's Zhang Hao!

He's really here!

Although he was comforting the little girl just now, Li Siyu almost couldn't help crying at this time.

Zhang Hao didn't have that much time to comfort each other, so he shouted loudly: "Why are you stunned! Get out of here quickly!"

The two of them quickly got out of the tent one after another.

Looking back under the silvery moonlight, they saw that the mighty snow curtain was already very close to them, and it was estimated that there were only about thirty seconds left.

"Run! Don't worry about anything!"

Zhang Hao pushed Li Siyu and Yinhui towards the main force, and went deeper to meet the team members. They were further inside and seemed to be trapped by the tent. The people inside were already planning the tent, but it wasn't that easy to maneuver from the inside.

"Damn, why is this thing so strong!"

Lao Bao's screams came from the tent. At this time, he was not as arrogant as he was during the day, and his tone was full of fear.

The rest were struggling hard, but Zhang Hao scored twice, a dagger to relieve his worries.

"It's the captain! The captain is here to save us!"

Everyone inside rushed out, but they were blocked in the small opening and no one could get out. The snow curtain was very close and was about to flood the tent!

"Stop crowding, come one by one!"

"Tear the hole wider!" the people inside shouted.

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the urge to curse.

What time has it been! Still struggling with this kind of thing!

If you have that kind of time, you can’t help but come out one by one in order!

Suddenly, two pairs of delicate hands stretched out from the side, turned out to be Li Siyu and Yin Hui! They're back again!

"What are you doing back here! Run away!" Zhang Hao roared loudly!

But Lao Bao inside actually stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Siyu's wrist, and shouted loudly: "Pull me out, quickly, quickly!"

Li Siyu was unprepared and was almost pulled into the tent and squeezed together by those people.

Seeing this, Yinhui quickly pulled Li Siyu and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Let her go, she is almost squeezed to death!"

Zhang Hao suddenly stopped moving and looked up blankly.

No, it's too late.

Everyone looked up.

The snow curtain has fallen! (End of chapter)
