Qin Zhi Han had descended, but the cliff was too high. How could he convey the specific situation of the cliff to everyone? They were all momentarily at a loss. From his position at the bottom of the mountain, he appeared as nothing more than a tiny black dot.
Everyone gathered at the edge of the cliff, their eyes fixed below. After Qin Zhi Han had been gone for an hour, they waited another forty-five minutes without any sign of movement, and concern began to creep in.
"Should we go down or not?" Jackson Wang asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"Of course we should go down," Qin Zhi Han's voice suddenly rang out. "I've already scouted the route. You can descend from this side; it's easier to navigate and should be fine."
"Captain, you came back up! That's impressive! This cliff seems like a sheer drop; it looks so easy for you to climb," Bai Zhen joked.
"Shut up! You try it later and see if it's really that easy," Qin Zhi Han replied with a laugh.
"Attention all soldiers! This cliff is 87 meters high. Prepare your descending equipment accordingly. In one minute, we'll split into three teams and set off on time," Qin Zhi Han announced loudly. "Is that clear?"
"Yes, Captain!" Each squad began to mobilize, each individual becoming part of a collective effort, preparing meticulously for the challenges ahead.
Watching as everyone secured their harnesses and descended one by one in an orderly fashion, there was no laziness or reluctance; everyone was eager to contribute as much as they could.
Su Ruolan looked on with pride at these young people, aged between seventeen and twenty-five, moved to tears by their determination. "Why did you come back up? How will you get down later? Climbing once is exhausting enough."
"Heh, it's fine. I have my ways. Do you want to come down with me later? You've used up quite a bit of your energy already, haven't you?" Qin Zhi Han said casually, glancing down at the edge of the cliff.
"It's fine, I can manage. You go ahead," Su Ruolan said, feeling grateful for Qin Zhi Han's care. However, considering her status as a married woman, she instinctively kept a certain distance from him.
"Alright then, I'll go first. Just follow me," Qin Zhi Han replied, glancing at the crowd that had already descended significantly.
"Okay." Su Ruolan took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Qin Zhi Han before opening her own and taking a large gulp.
Having already benefited from Spatial Water, Qin Zhi Han didn't hesitate and drank the entire bottle in one go. He then pulled out a climbing rope and began making his way down the cliff.
After taking a few steps, he paused to wait for Su Ruolan, continuously guiding her on where to step, which rocks were sturdy, and which ones could be used for support.
Su Ruolan and Qin Zhi Han carefully descended step by step. The path and trees below the cliff gradually became clearer. Just then, time seemed to freeze for a moment; the space around them distorted.
A thick fog enveloped Su Ruolan, obscuring everything in a haze where she couldn't see her own hands, let alone the path beneath her feet.
"Captain Qin? Qin Zhi Han, are you there?" Su Ruolan called out, panic rising within her.
"I'm here, I'm right here," Qin Zhi Han responded loudly.
His sudden shout startled Su Ruolan; she realized that he had unknowingly moved closer to her side.
"Reach out your hand; I'll guide you down," Qin Zhi Han continued. "I'm on your right."
In this moment of crisis, she cast aside her reservations and extended her right hand into the thick fog, feeling around for him on her right.
Suddenly, a warm hand grasped hers. "Don't be afraid, I'm here," whispered Qin Zhi Han calmly, his voice steady despite the obscuring mist that prevented them from seeing each other.
