She paused in her tracks, and slowly shrunk her body that was about to continue climbing up, and carefully turned her head back to say: “I can already hear their voices, from the sound of it, they’re not injured, the situation might possibly be much better than what we expected.”
Seeing how they could hit a high note, they haven’t exhibited any symptoms of altitude sickness.
The Elite Platoon members following behind her had also heard the screams of the female soldiers, the men with tensed expressions on their faces all eased off.
J5 let out a long exhale and exclaimed: “They’ve encountered such a huge avalanche, and in the end, they’re safe and sound, they’re lucky!”
Isn’t that so!
Their party of men had already climbed the piled up snow-hill that appeared after the avalanche for an hour and a half! The might and radius of this avalanche was evident enough from what they had seen.
When the supply station’s Squad Leader heard their voices, the breathe that was strung up in his throat instantly returned into his heart; he told Ye Jian: “The closer we are to the target, the more we have to be careful, step with caution, and after getting a good foothold, move on your other leg. If you feel the snow below your feet start to loosen, don’t panic and quickly pull your feet back.”
Originally, he should be the one who was walking at the front, but male soldiers were heavy and weren’t agile enough; they couldn’t control how much weight they placed on their feet when they realized the place they had stepped on was loose snow, then it would be too late.
Previously, he intended to walk slowly while leading the party, but the Ground Forces soldiers who had joined in on the rescue operation refused and told him: “Each minute and every second of the rescue period is extremely valuable, we cannot waste time on the road.” without even giving him the chance to speak, they pushed the only female soldier accompanying their journey out.
They actually made a female soldier take the most dangerous front; how can a group of male soldiers like them do this!
Not giving him a chance to refuse, the female soldier took the rope and walked to the front without another word.
And that journey had taken them one and a half hours!
Midway, he had requested multiple times to switch, but the male soldier who spoke with a tone that resembled his regiment’s instructor only beamed: “It’s fine, it’s fine, let her have some training, this is quite a rare opportunity.”
And he wanted to persuade the other brothers in the Ground Forces to stand on his side; in the end, everyone didn’t speak anything and only watched the female soldier taking the front with a smile.
… Getting along in that way, he really didn’t understand!
If you say they didn’t care for their comrade, that absolutely wasn’t it; from their eyes and even their words, their caring feelings for the female soldier could be deeply felt, but the actions they were taking was confusing for him.
Making a female soldier walk in the front of danger, there’s an indescribable taste in his heart.
J5, who was walking behind Ye Jian, pulled on the climbing rope that attached to everyone, and told Ye Jian: “Inspect the rope buckle around your waist once more, since they’re all ahead, there’s no need to rush, the closer we are to the end, the more we need to be steady.”
After nearly an hour and a half’s journey, Ye Jian, the female soldier’s performance was quite impressive, she didn’t feel afraid because of taking the lead, neither did she have any feelings of cowering, she led the way forwards with the male soldiers behind her. She would sometimes turn her head around to urge the male soldiers to be wary underfoot.
Very good, her mentality of not panicking in the face of danger was much better than what they had expected!
After finishing her inspection, Ye Jian made an ‘OK’ gesture towards J5, with stars above her head and white snow below her feet; she walked dauntlessly towards the female soldier who was crying from happiness.
When the five female soldiers saw so many rescue soldiers arriving at the same time, each and every one of them started to cry till they sobbed; when Ye Jian walked over, Fu Hui, who was the youngest and received the most concern, straight up charged into Ye Jian’s embrace.
