Liu Yuan didn’t expect her measuring gaze to be caught, and panicked revealed an embarrassed smile; after Ye Jian stopped looking at them, she whispered to Wei Jiayue, who was similarly embarrassed: “Why do I have the feeling that the female soldier knows that we’re afraid of climbing the carriage?”
“Why else would she smile at us? She already realized that’s why she smiled at us, so we can relax.” Wei Jiayue lowered her head and said, with a freezing body, she tugged at her thick winter jacket and purposely avoided Ye Jian’s gaze, after leaning her body slightly, “Let’s not embarrass ourselves too much. Later, no matter what they ask, we must accept. Believe me, with them here, they will definitely not let us do dangerous stuff.”
They were all female soldiers, but they can’t embarrass themselves too much.
Nobody paid attention to what the duo was whispering about as they gathered together to discuss the best way of rescuing.
“Shovel snow while rescuing them, when the piled up snow is shoveled away, if there are still personnel stuck in the carriage, we’ll start up the rear truck to tow them.”
In less than two minutes, they had decided on the best way of rescue; firstly, Qin Xiu and the Tibetan soldier discussed to first get the personnel still inside the carriage out, one by one, and keeping their current rescue plan, at the same time, increasing the pace of shoveling snow away, so that the rear truck could start its engine and tow the forward truck back onto the road.
However, because the two vehicles weren’t lined up and had a small hill-sized snow pile between them, the safest way was to first get all the stuck personnel in the car out, then start their rescue operation.
However, even if they wanted to first rescue the personnel out then tow the truck, they still needed to inspect the situation inside the carriage before proceeding.
The male soldiers were heavy, and only the light and agile female soldiers were suited for this task.
Not even needing the two female Art soldiers to risk themselves, J5 turned towards Ye Jian: “You’re light, strap on the rope buckle, and we’ll hold the rope, you climb over the carriage and hop into the carriage to inspect the situation.”
True to what Wei Jiayue had said, the rescue personnel had arrived; how would they let the two female soldiers who had been extremely shocked and had been stuck in minus twenty, thirty-degree weather for seven hours to work.
After strapping on the rope buckle onto her waist, then looping the sturdy rescue rope around her, Ye Jian made an ‘OK’ gesture at her comrades, without an inch of fear, she placed both hands on the truck’s front and climbed up easily.
The driver seated in the car then said: “If the truck starts shaking, I’ll tell you immediately, don’t hesitate, and jump off!”
The carriage still didn’t have any signs of motion; the glass allowing the driver to see into the carriage was frosted over. Otherwise, he would’ve used his searchlight to see the situation inside the carriage; how would he have asked a female soldier to risk herself.
“Go without fear; we’re here.” Longhawk and Sparrow stepped on the truck’s front bumper, so they could maintain the truck’s balance and prevent the carriage from tilting too hard on one side.
Going alone to inspect the situation inside a truck carriage that was hanging in the air, that seemed like it would drop into the bottomless abyss at any second, no matter how many comrades she had, she still needed some courage from herself.
Liu Yuan believed herself to be the bravest one in her regiment. Still, taking a rough look at the female soldier whose features seemed extremely delicate climbing just like that, she immediately raised her hand to block her line of sight, not daring to stare straight at sight.
Although Wei Jiayue didn’t cover her eyes, she couldn’t help but to squint her eyes and didn’t dare to look directly at her.
In less than a minute, she had already climbed up the truck’s roof from the carriage, then turned around to tell the male soldiers staring at her: “Everything’s normal, slacken some rope.”
To ensure Ye Jian’s personal safety, the members of Elite Platoon did not let Ye Jian to pull the climbing rope as she walked. Instead, she needed them to give her a small section of rope before she could move a small section, this was just in case the truck was really plummeting down; they could still pull Ye Jian back immediately.
