After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 534 is here! There's still a glimmer of hope.

Scroll down further, and you'll find some vacuum-packed foods.

Besides the necessities for housing, this includes everything related to clothing, food, and transportation.

She then turned her head to look at another large black bag.

I reached out and tried to lift it, but I couldn't budge it.

It was noticeably heavier than hers.

Li Chengxiao noticed her movements and said, "Don't exert yourself too much; your body hasn't recovered yet."

Jiang Hanying obediently withdrew her hand, put aside the clothes she was going to wear later, and repacked the rest that she didn't need for the time being but still needed to carry.

After all that work, the bag was lighter, but its volume hadn't changed much.

Seeing that she was about to open and reorganize again, Li Chengxiao couldn't stand it anymore. "I'll pack it up when the car stops later."

Jiang Hanying also realized that she couldn't just stuff things in haphazardly. "Is there some knowledge involved in this?"

"Yes, try to put as much stuff as possible in a limited space."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hanying decisively gave up, tossing her bag behind her and leaving only the clothes and shoes she was going to wear. "By the way, how did you know my height, weight, and shoe size?"

She recalled that these tests hadn't been conducted when she filmed the variety show before.

“Your height can be estimated by sight, and your weight can be determined by giving you a hug. Your weight is not much different from the maximum load I have ever carried when I practiced cross-country. I can tell your shoe size by taking off your shoes.”

So thoughtful!
Anyway, she never paid attention.

Oh, the cheap owner has eight-pack abs, so that should count too.

As darkness fell, the white fog grew thinner and thinner.

When the car reached the foot of Que Mountain, the moonlight could already be seen shining like water on the white snow, making it impossible to tell which side was brighter.

However, Jiang Hanying looked up through the car window and gazed at the mountain.

Such a beautiful view, and it's been ruined!

Li Chengxiao turned on the interior light, paused, then dimmed the windows, turned to look at Jiang Hanying who was still gazing at the rolling mountains, and said, "Let's change our equipment."

"Oh."

The two of them flipped directly from the front seat to the spacious back seat.

Jiang Hanying quickly took off her original clothes, but when she got to the last two pieces, she paused for a moment, and then heard a voice from the side: "You need to change too."

You need to replace all your inner layers with sterile, quick-drying materials, especially the clothes worn next to the skin, which require even greater comfort.

After taking everything off, she put on layers of clothing. Jiang Hanying didn't know how to put on some of the knee pads, elbow pads, and patellar braces, so her owner had to help her.

By the time she finished putting them on, her forehead was sweating.

"So hot."

"The air conditioning is on in the car, and the temperature difference with the outside is almost forty degrees." Li Chengxiao said, methodically reorganizing her backpack, and after checking that nothing was missing, he said, "Get ready, it's time to get off the car."

The car door opened, and a blast of cold wind rushed in without hesitation.

Jiang Hanying hadn't put on her face mask and goggles in the car because she was too hot, and now the wind, carrying snowflakes, was blowing all over her face.

I quickly and obediently put it on for him.

The off-road vehicle, which had been turned off, remained where it was. The two men, carrying their bags, walked forward through the snow that was already up to their knees. Not far ahead, they saw a row of things parked not far to their left.

Although it was completely covered by snow, a closer look at its shape revealed it to be a car.

"Yes, there are five in total. Judging from their size, they should be seven-seater SUVs."

"That makes more than thirty people."

This number... will probably only amount to a fraction by the end.

"Let's go."

Compared to last night's journey through wind and snow, tonight's ascent was much easier.

The moonlight was as clear as a mirror, illuminating not only the path ahead but also allowing one to discern directions by looking up at the starry sky.

But this only applies to Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao.

The thick fog showed no signs of dissipating as we approached the summit.

There was even a sense that the fog from other places hadn't dissipated, but rather had all converged here.

The few remaining people found every step extremely difficult.

The person disappeared even more silently.

As Duanmu Sen walked along with his head down, his forehead bumped into the back of Yuan Qingzhuo, who was walking in front of him.

He stood there stunned for a few seconds before asking, "Why did you suddenly stop?" "We're here."

"Come on, who's here?"

Yuan Qingzhuo did not answer Duanmu Sen's question, but only glanced back at the way they came, "Quick reaction."

Duanmu Sen: "..."

He probably asked a pointless question!

Li Zhi felt a strange stirring in her heart as she listened to the sounds coming from the front.

"Arrived" means that someone has arrived.

That's a quick reaction. Did someone notice their movement up the mountain and choose to follow them?
Who is this person?

For some reason, the first image that flashed through her mind...

It's Jiang Hanying!

"We need to hurry."

Duanmu Sen couldn't help but widen his eyes: "So fast!"

But seeing that the person in front of him had taken a step and was about to disappear from sight, he quickly resigned himself to his fate and followed.

*
"Huh? Wait a minute!"

There was a downhill slope ahead. Jiang Hanying had just put on her skis with the help of her cheap owner and was ready to experience this unique way of flying on a sword when she was abruptly stopped.

"what happened?"

Li Chengxiao looked down at a small snowdrift not far away.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go down and take a look.

"You wait here."

Jiang Hanying watched as he pulled a rope from his backpack, tied it to a dead tree trunk, and then grabbed the rope and walked down the steeper slope on the other side.

They quickly descended to the side of that small snowdrift and used one hand to rake through the snow.

Once the snow was cleared away, Jiang Hanying turned on the headlamp beside her ear, tilted her head slightly, and shone it on a pale face with its eyes tightly closed.

"do you died?"

Li Chengxiao didn't check for breathing; instead, he took off his gloves and felt the other person's chest. He felt a barely perceptible heartbeat. "Still alive, but not far from death."

Fortunately, the altitude here is not very high, and the snow covering his body also provided some wind protection and warmth, which gave this person a chance to survive.

"Should we save them?"

Li Chengxiao pursed his lips, first securing himself with ropes, then opening the other person's equipment bag, finding what he could currently use, first warming himself up, and then stabilizing the person's leg, which was somewhat deformed from the fall.

Perhaps it was the warmth in his chest, combined with the stimulation of the leg pain, that caused the person to twitch unconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Chengxiao decisively stopped and climbed up the rope.

Whether he survives or not depends on his luck.

The fact that they're here at this time means they're most likely one of Yuan Qingzhuo's men, meaning they're enemies, not friends.

He just wanted to see if the man hadn't died, and if one less life had been sacrificed, the scheme to use a human life to make up for the deficiency could still succeed.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to skate. The most important thing is to maintain your balance."

"I think I will."

"Then try sliding down from here."

As soon as Li Chengxiao finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him swiftly bend down and slide out, his back view showing an eagerness, just like a cheerful little pink bird.

He breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind.

Not long after they left, the snowdrift below stirred.

After a while, a hand slowly emerged from the snowdrift, stiffly scraping away the snow from its body, and slowly sat up like a rusty toy.

He touched the still-warm heating patch on his chest, then looked at the plastic support holding his leg in place. After a while, he gritted his teeth and slowly stood up on one leg, holding onto a nearby rock, and then climbed up little by little.

The height that Li Chengxiao could reach in just a few steps took him almost half an hour to climb.

But there were some benefits too; after exercising, my body, which had been stiff from the cold, had at least softened up a bit.

Looking at the ski marks left by his skis, he sat down, panting, and ate some food from his bag with the snow.

After filling their stomachs, they turned around and slowly moved downhill.

Compared to the loyalty instilled in him from childhood, after experiencing this brush with death, he now wants to survive even more!
