The person calling for help was swept into the flowing snow, and the cry for help stopped suddenly, as if it had never appeared.
Yun Chi and Liang Qing were so jolted that their faces turned pale. They didn't know how much time had passed. The snow under their feet gradually returned to calm. Xiao Ju also slowly stopped. They had reached the coast, and the ice on the sea began to crack. "Plop."
"With a sound, the huge ice cube fell into the sea water. Xiao Ju suddenly turned around and ran away. Qin Yao looked back and saw the sea water wrapped in the ice cube and rushing toward the shore in a dark mass.
"Bang..." A big wave rushed high into the sky and fell quickly. The place where they stayed just now was filled with ice and sea water.
Yun Chi and Liang Qing were both stunned. If Xiao Ju hadn't reacted quickly, they might have been killed by the ice washed up by the waves.
Xiaoju led them to escape into a forest. After the three of them got off it, Xiaoju turned into a little snake. It was so tired that it just told Qin Yao that it was safe here and fainted from exhaustion.
, Qin Yao quickly put it into a thermal bag, while Yun Chi and Liang Qing supported the tree and vomited. When they recovered, the three of them began to discuss what to do next.
"Look, there are only 25 people left in the group."
When Yun Chi spoke, his breath turned into clouds of white mist. When he was being carried by Xiao Ju to escape, his windproof hat and mask were rubbed off by the branches, and his throat was already damaged by the cold wind.
He started to feel hoarse and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.
"This is too scary. If Qin Yao and Xiao Ju hadn't discovered it in time, we would have been buried in the cave tonight." Liang Qing didn't fare much better. One of her shoes fell off and her clothes were caught by branches.
It was scratched and looked very miserable.
"What should we do now?" Yun Chi's eyes were filled with confusion. The incident happened suddenly and no one was mentally prepared. Although he has recovered now, his heart is still beating fast and his hands and feet are weak.
"Find a flat ground to sit for a while and wait for daybreak. Just now I was just running for my life. Now feel it. Is the temperature tonight particularly low?" After Qin Yao finished speaking, Liang Qing nodded with a tearful face.
"Really, we have to make a fire. We don't care whether others will find it. The temperature is too low tonight. If we don't make a fire to keep warm, we will freeze to death."
The three of them walked forward for dozens of meters and finally found a flat land with less snow, so they made do with it tonight.
Liang Qing was responsible for lighting the fire. Yunchi was worried that there were wild beasts nearby, so he went around for a while. Qin Yao fed Xiaoju warm water and fresh meat. It had regained some strength, but a lot of its snake scales had fallen off.
A piece of snake skin on the abdomen even began to ooze blood. Qin Yao took out the medicine box and quickly applied medicine and bandage to it.
"Mom, there's no danger anymore."
Xiaoju ate and drank enough and flicked her tail with satisfaction.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xiaoju shook her head, "No, I'm a little sleepy."
Qin Yao touched its head and said, "Go to sleep if you feel sleepy. I'll give you extra food tomorrow morning."
Xiaoju closed her eyes contentedly.
Yun Chi came back with two half-dead pheasants. He put the pheasants on the fire. The sound of "puff, puff, puff" sounded, the feathers of the pheasants were burned clean, and an indescribable smell filled the air.
Liang Qing boiled a basin of snow and the snow melted. She and Yunchi processed a pheasant each. The pheasant was disemboweled, cleaned with hot water, and then placed on the fire to continue roasting.
There are fewer and fewer people in the group, and it will be dawn soon.
——
On the ninth day of the countdown, Qin Yao, Yun Chi and Liang Qing received a system message.
Find the remaining three companions, collect six lucky stars, and they can pass the level.
The three of them each contacted a companion, Qin Yao contacted Ying Zheng, Yun Chi contacted Zhang Shaoqian, and Liang Qing contacted Kang Sen.
"Zhang Shaoqian replied to me. He is currently safe. During the avalanche, he climbed directly onto a tree. Although the tree fell, he luckily escaped. He also received the message, but we currently have no location. The system won’t help us navigate, so it’s still difficult to find them.”
Liang Qing also has good news. "Kang Sen also replied to me, but he said that his leg was seriously injured and his calf was pressed by a rolling stone. He is currently unable to walk."
Qin Yao looked at the dialog box and fell into deep thought. She sent several messages to Yingzheng in succession, but her messages were still unread, but Yingzheng's profile picture was still on. He didn't reply. Was it rare that he was seriously injured?
"I can't contact the applicant."
Yunchi looked at the time and said, "How about meeting Kang Sen first? His situation should be more urgent."
But now there is no positioning function, and they don't know where to find Kang Sen.
Liang Qing sighed, "I asked him to take care of his wounds first. There are still nine days left. Even if he searches blindly, he should be able to find them."
"Why don't you let one of them set off a firework at night, and then everyone look for the fireworks?" As soon as Yun Chi said this, he received two speechless looks.
Qin Yao shook his head helplessly, "This trick won't work. Once the fireworks are set off, doesn't it mean telling everyone where we are? There are still seventeen people who don't have lucky stars. Maybe they will also use this trick to kill us. Let’s cheat. The compass can still be used. Let’s all walk in the south direction, so that the chance of everyone meeting up will be greater.”
Liang Qing nodded, "This is also a good idea."
Kang Sen and Zhang Shaoqian had no objection, but Qin Yao still couldn't contact Ying Zheng. There was no time to wait for his reply, so the three of them were fully armed and embarked on the road to the south.
The group suddenly became lively. Some people were cursing, some were numb, and some were still holding on to the hope of living and were looking for someone with a lucky star.
[Zheng Mei: I want to go home. I really can’t stand it anymore. Let me go back. I beg you. I will kneel down and kowtow to you. System, please let me live. I have a three-year-old baby at home. Daughter, I can’t die, how will she live if I die?】
[Liu Yuxuan: What’s the use of howling? Aren’t there four people who got lucky stars and cleared the level early? If you, like them, kill the people with lucky stars, won’t you be able to clear the level and go home? Isn’t it annoying? Annoying, I cry and mourn here every day.]
[Dong Xiaodong: I have been waiting for death. Maybe if I die, I can return to the real world. 】
[Tian Yunfeng: There are still six people alive in the top ten, and there are still nine days left, so we still have a chance.]
[Xiao Yacheng: There is no chance. We can’t see their position now. How can we find them? Even if they are ranked in the top ten, they are not vegetarians. I don’t want to waste my energy. It’s too tiring.]
[Chu Lili: Are you willing to just wait for death? I won’t admit defeat. I must get out alive. I want to get the lucky star. 】
