Chapter 1786: Afraid
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before he set off, he was already prepared to encounter an avalanche. Although he was mentally prepared, it was still inevitable that he would be afraid upon really encountering one. This was the normal reaction of a normal person towards danger. He did not think it was embarra.s.sing to say it directly.
“Heh, being a reporter means you have a high level of comprehension. Reporter Qin, when you return to the capital, this will make a good article.” The soldier working with him smiled optimistically as he spoke. He looked at Reporter Qin, who was said to be from the news department and had an indescribable temperament. Then, he looked at his hands that were red from the rope. The soldier couldn’t bear it.
The reporter was originally holding a pen, but in the end, he almost lost his life. However, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. Hehe, he believed that he had really gone in and out of the Tibetan Line.
Only those who had crossed the Tibetan Line several times would have the courage to do so!
Qin Xiu, who had temporarily become a reporter, looked to be a year younger than the soldier but upon taking a closer look, he seemed to be five or six years older. He took the rope from the soldier’s hands and smiled. “I’ll go tie it to the truck at the back. You rest for a while.”
He had been to four different places, and this was the first time he encountered an avalanche. It was precisely because of this that he had seen the extraordinary abilities of these automobile soldiers who had been in restricted areas for many years.
He was sitting in the back of the truck. If the automobile soldier had not reacted fast enough before the avalanche fell, he was afraid that the truck would have been directly thrown off the cliff by the heavy snow.
The two of them tightened the rope once again. After confirming that they had tied a death knot around the two front wheels, they went to pick up two rocks that had crashed down by the avalanche and placed them behind the front tires. Qin Xiu stamped on the rocks that could prevent the front tires from sliding down with one foot. Only then did he pull on the rope and climb over the snow that had been piled up for who knew how many years with difficulty. Suddenly, it collapsed again.
Unable to walk, Qin Xiu had to crawl for nearly 20 minutes before he carefully climbed over the snow pile on the cliff. He then climbed back to the other truck.
He walked to the strangely quiet truck and said to the female soldiers inside, “All of you, come down for now. You can’t stay in the truck anymore.”
In order to prevent the suspended truck from sliding down, the veteran suggested tying the front tires with a rope and hooking it onto the truck that was fine so that the suspended truck could anchor itself.
The angry female soldiers in the truck stopped arguing. Instead, they sat quietly and suppressed the anger in their hearts. When they heard the man say that they should not stay in the truck anymore, they looked up slightly. In the dark, they looked at each other. No one moved.
Two minutes pa.s.sed, but there was still no movement in the truck. Qin Xiu’s heart sank. He immediately lifted the heavy windproof curtains and saw the seven female soldiers who were crying out in fright earlier sitting in the innermost compartment. When they heard the noise, they all looked toward him.
Everyone was there, not moving at all.
Qin Xiu, who heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, swept his cold gaze over. “Get out of the truck. We have to rescue our comrades in the truck ahead together.”
“What’s there to save? We’re all going to die anyway. Save your energy for your last words.” The female soldier named Liu Yuan was furious the moment she opened her mouth. Her words were extremely harsh. “And don’t write any news articles. You’re just accompanying the daughter of a high-ranking official to look for someone.. Your life is already at stake here. Why do you still care about saving people?”
