Second Day: The weather is clear, and everything is as usual. Today's journey is smoother than yesterday's. If we continue at this pace, we might reach Kunlun Station in fifteen days.
Third Day: Today, Wen Feng took us on a shortcut, but Number Two Vehicle got stuck in a crack in the ice. The huge gap was large enough to swallow the Snowmobiles, which was very dangerous. Fortunately, Li Xiang managed to stop the vehicle in time and exerted a lot of effort to pull Number Two Vehicle out of the crack!
Fifth Day: We saw the Charles Prince Mountain Range. The massive mountains have many exposed black rocks, with scattered stones that make it look like this used to be a riverbank.
Eighth Day:
A humming sound filled the air as the newly erected tent shook violently in the wind. This was despite Bai Yujing and others digging a snow pit over a meter deep to secure the tent in the snow. Two Snowmobiles guarded Bai Yujing's camp.
A massive snowstorm hit, with swirling snowflakes and fierce winds threatening to sweep away even the heavy Snowmobiles. The Wind Chill Effect caused temperatures to plummet to over minus twenty degrees, nearing minus thirty degrees. Everyone wore hooded hats, tightly securing their down jackets' hoods around their heads, with noses completely covered and goggles on their eyes. Without speaking, it was impossible to recognize one another.
In such cold conditions, any exposed skin could suffer severe frostbite within two minutes. Thick frost accumulated on the furry edges of hats as the snow continued to fall heavily. Bai Yujing and others needed to finish setting up camp immediately and quickly enter the tent for warmth.
The wind was so strong that it was hard to stand. Bai Yujing kept shoveling snow upward when suddenly there was a thud; Wen Feng had lost grip of his bag, which was swept up into the sky by the strong wind.
"My bag!" Wen Feng immediately dashed out, but Bai Yujing quickly grabbed him!
Bai Yujing shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? In such a blizzard, what are you going out for? Forget it!"
Wen Feng nervously replied, "No way! The map and my instruments are inside. Without them, our journey will be extremely difficult. If we get lost here, we're done for!"
Bai Yujing felt like slapping him; how could he not secure such important items? Bai Yujing put down the shovel and said, "You stay here; I'll go find it!"
Liu Xinwu immediately came over and said, "No way! If you're going out, you can't go alone; it's too risky. The blizzard is too strong, and visibility is so low that even if you go out, you might not find it!"
Bai Yujing shook his head. "But we have to retrieve it!"
At that moment, Zhou Jun quickly followed up: "I'll go with you; two people can look out for each other!"
"Good!"
The car was rattling loudly, and the blizzard was continuously blowing snow into the vehicle through the gaps. At this moment, it could be seen that ice and snow were starting to accumulate inside the cabin, and the snow on the ground was rising up. In such conditions, a normal person's visibility was less than one meter, but Bai Yujing noticed a black backpack being blown away by the wind and snow. He immediately walked over with Zhou Jun.
Since they were moving with the wind, their progress was relatively smooth, but the wind and cold were unbearable. Without the obstruction of the snowmobiles, Bai Yujing truly experienced their power!
Continuing forward, Bai Yujing followed the direction in which the backpack had been blown away. As they advanced, the campsite gradually became indistinct. In such a heavy blizzard, they could only rely on their instincts to search.
Zhou Jun shouted immediately, "No way! We can't see anything! Let's hurry back!"
Zhou Jun pulled on Bai Yujing, who then looked ahead and spotted a black object in a corner ahead, faintly visible in the white mist. Bai Yujing exclaimed, "Where is it?"
Bai Yujing rushed over; the snow beneath his feet was getting deeper, making each step difficult. At this moment, his eyebrows were frozen, and ice began to form around the edges of his goggles. He was covered in ice and snow as well. Zhou Jun's situation wasn't much better, but both of them had excellent physical constitutions and cold resistance, allowing them to endure.
Bai Yujing dashed forward and picked up the backpack. He felt a surge of joy but didn't expect to step into a void beneath him. Suddenly, he fell downwards, feeling as if he had crashed onto an incredibly hard ice surface several times before rolling over multiple times and landing heavily on the Ice Surface, instantly gasping for breath.
Zhou Jun quickly ran over and saw Bai Yujing had fallen into the Mountain Valley. He shouted, "How are you? White Collar Team, are you okay?"
His voice mixed with the sound of wind and snow reached Bai Yujing's ears. Bai Yujing forced himself to catch his breath and climbed up, shouting back, "I'm fine! Wait for me; I'll find a way up... crack!"
Before Bai Yujing could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard an ominous sound. Looking down, he saw himself lying on the Ice Surface; transparent ice crystals reflected his face, which was now beginning to crack open with a small fissure.
Bai Yujing immediately felt his knees sinking into the ground as the Ice Surface shattered. A bone-chilling cold surged from his legs into his brain, making it feel as if cold air was flooding into his mind; he couldn't think straight.
Bai Yujing glanced up; Zhou Jun also noticed this situation and shouted urgently, "Don't move! Whatever you do, don't move!"
The wilderness survival skills that Bai Yujing had previously acquired immediately came into play. He lay flat against the Ice Surface to increase its load-bearing area and prevent further cracking. If he fell into an ice pit now, there would be no hope of rescue.
Zhou Jun quickly found a way down and hurriedly slid down. He pulled out a rope from his backpack, tied a loop in it, stood at a distance, and said to Bai Yujing, "I'm throwing the rope over right now!"
Bai Yujing did not speak, but when the rope was still beside him, Bai Yujing immediately put his head into the rope and carefully raised his left hand to thread it through. This way, the rope completely bound Bai Yujing.
At this moment, Bai Yujing felt his movements becoming stiff, as if his body was gradually freezing from the legs up. He could only hear his heart pounding like a hammer, bringing a slight warmth to his body.
Seeing this, Zhou Jun immediately pulled Bai Yujing outward with all his strength. The Ice Surface cracked little by little, and with the force, Bai Yujing was slowly dragged out of the ice cave and finally came before Zhou Jun. With rich survival experience, Zhou Jun naturally knew what situation Bai Yujing was facing. An ordinary person would have probably fainted by now; even if they hadn’t died, they would need immediate rescue.
“How are you? Are you hurt?” Zhou Jun asked while holding Bai Yujing's face.
Bai Yujing kept shivering: “I’m... I’m fine, not hurt!”
Thus, Zhou Jun wrapped Bai Yujing up and started to walk back. Halfway through, Bai Yujing gradually began to recover: “I’m starting to feel normal again, but my legs still haven’t regained their strength; I still need Zhou Jun to support me!”
Zhou Jun was also surprised; the strength and recovery ability of this body were astonishing. After falling from such a height and staying in the ice cave for so long, he surprisingly had no serious issues? The two of them returned to the camp step by step against the blizzard.
As they approached the camp, they noticed a light. When they walked over, they found that at this moment, Liu Xinwu and Wen Feng were waiting outside for them. Seeing Zhou Jun supporting Bai Yujing back, both of them were immediately alarmed and hurriedly helped Bai Yujing into the tent.
Inside the tent, a fire was burning. Wen Feng quickly brought hot water to Bai Yujing. After drinking two cups, Bai Yujing finally felt warm all over. Liu Xinwu immediately asked: “What happened?”
Zhou Jun picked up the backpack he had retrieved and recounted what had just happened. Instantly, both Liu Xinwu and Wen Feng felt a wave of fear. Wen Feng, feeling guilty, said: “It’s all my fault; such an important item should have been stored in the car for safekeeping. I…”
Wrapping himself in a blanket, Bai Yujing said: “Forget it; it’s already been found. With such a heavy blizzard outside, we don’t know when it will stop. Liu Xinwu, go check on the other tent; make sure nothing goes wrong!”
