I rode a Kawasaki H2 to school, only to find out the school beauty was my ex-girlfriend.

"Yes, Xueying will be alright."

Shangguan Qian held Lin Yun's hand tightly.

I feel a sense of peace welling up inside me whenever Lin Yun is by my side, overshadowing my worries.

Civilian rescue organizations acted swiftly.

In less than an hour, more than ten vans arrived at the mountain gate.

Upon receiving the information, they immediately began deployment, dividing into numerous small teams and heading towards Baiyang Mountain!

The number of people involved in the search and rescue operation has increased.

Lin Yun felt much more at ease.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely find your best friend soon!"

"Um!"

Shangguan Qian nodded emphatically.

Looking into the deep, dark interior of Baiyang Mountain.

In my heart, I couldn't help but pray for my good sister, hoping she would be safe and sound.

The search and rescue operation lasted for another two hours.

Xia Xueying was still nowhere to be found.

As time goes by...

Before I knew it, it was already past midnight.

"Junior..."

In Shangguan Qian's eyes.

A sense of unease resurfaced.

Baiyang Mountain isn't very big. If my friend had just gotten lost, logically speaking, with so many people searching for several hours, they should have successfully rescued her from the mountain.

But now.

It was past midnight, but we still hadn't found a trace of them.

That means your best friend's situation is definitely more than just getting lost; there's a high probability she got hurt or even...

Lin Yun's worries were no less than Shangguan Qian's, but she still reassured her, "Don't worry, senior. With so many people, we'll definitely be able to succeed in the search and rescue tonight. If we're still unsuccessful tonight, I'll find more professional search and rescue personnel to go in and search!"

Two more hours passed.

It was 3:30 a.m.

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

"Senior, please get in the car first, I'll go in and take a look too!"

"Junior, please don't..."

"It's okay, senior. I'm very good at wilderness survival, no less than those wilderness survival experts!"

Lin Yun patted the back of his senior's hand to comfort her.

He was not lying about this, and he was even being modest about it.

Wearing the title of "King of Soldiers," his wilderness survival skills completely surpass those of so-called experts and professors!

Then he came to Qin Jiao.

"Captain Qin, could you please give me a map of this mountain?"

"You're not planning to go into the mountains, are you?"

Qin Jiao's eyes flashed with confusion.

After seeing Lin Yun nod, his brows furrowed slightly.

"No, you have no idea how dangerous it is to go into the mountains, and it's the middle of the night. You should just stay here and wait. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!"

"Don't worry, Captain Qin, I'm a wilderness survival expert. My search and rescue skills are far superior to anyone else here!"

"Yeah?"

Qin Jiaoying raised her eyebrows.

His face practically screamed, "I don't believe it!"

She didn't believe that a rich young master like him would participate in any kind of wilderness training!

Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Lin Yun helplessly shrugged.

"Of course, if Captain Qin doesn't believe me, he can certainly give me some questions to test me on the spot!"

"en..."

Qin Jiao's gaze was sharp.

He stared intently at Lin Yun for a moment.

Once you've determined that the other person doesn't seem to want to lie, then start asking questions.

"Okay, tell me, if you get lost in the wild during the day, what do you rely on to find your way?"

"We can rely on the Sun Tree..."

"If you wanted to start a fire in the wild, what's the easiest material to ignite?"

"Priority should be given to hay, pine needles, etc."

Seeing that the other party answered all the basic questions he had asked fluently, he realized that he had asked them several questions in a row.

Qin Jiao decided to ask a slightly more difficult question.

This discourages the other party from going into the mountains.

"The last one, how do you escape if you are followed by a large carnivore at night?"

this problem.

This is no longer a minor incident.

If the other party can actually answer the question, it does demonstrate sufficient knowledge, and allowing them to join the search and rescue team in the mountains is certainly a viable option.

The difficulty has increased.

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

It wasn't that he couldn't, but his first thought was that it was just a wild beast. Unless it was a large group of wild animals, he could actually go up and fight it one-on-one and kill it.

He pondered for a few seconds.

In the end, I decided to give the official answer.

"It's very simple. Don't make eye contact with him. You should slowly back away. While backing away, you can make a loud noise to intimidate him and prevent him from moving forward easily. If there are trees or other things around that can cover your body, use them to escape quickly."

This answer was given.

Qin Jiao's eyes lit up.

I never expected that a rich young master like him would know so much about wilderness survival.

Next.

She then asked some extremely difficult questions that even she herself needed to look up to find the answers to, and made sure that the other party answered them completely without any omissions or problems.

He immediately pulled out a map and equipment. "Okay, I'll contact one of our small teams. You can go with them..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Yun then took the map and equipment from his hands.

The other party then impatiently entered the mountain.

Qin Jiao: "..."

Stepping into Baiyang Mountain.

Lin Yun put on his gear to go into the mountains.

Then I realized that I didn't seem to have brought my walkie-talkie.

However, he didn't turn back immediately. He took out a map and started comparing it with the route he had planned to cross.

On the map, there are more than ten lines to cross, clearly marked from easy to difficult.

After a moment's thought, based on his understanding of the captain, he would most likely choose the most difficult option.

After drawing a circle on the line with a pen, I followed the route.

The mountains and forests are deep and secluded, with the wind rustling softly.

Keep walking forward.

They shouted the captain's name.

This shouting lasted for almost two hours.

"cough!"

Lin Yun touched his slightly dry throat.

He stopped halfway, constantly looking down at the map and pondering.

With so many search and rescue teams, there must be quite a few people traveling along this route. But since no team has returned from this route yet, the captain couldn't have had an accident along these routes.

Point the searchlight at the map.

After careful examination, six areas around this route were identified where the other party might leave.

"Whoever the little rooster chooses, that's who I'll pick!"

After pointing to a relatively steep area ahead, they continued forward without hesitation.

"Xia Xueying!!"

After walking for about 20 minutes, we arrived at this area.

He immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs.

pity……

He shouted it more than ten or twenty times in a row.

The only response he received was the rustling of leaves in the night wind.

"Did I order the wrong thing?"

Lin Yun scratched his forehead in confusion.

When I really wanted to go back to the original map route.

Suddenly, I noticed a few meters away to my left, in a dense thicket, several dark white flowers were faintly visible. There were many sharp thorns on the branches under the flowers, and the exposed thorns seemed to have some dark bloodstains.

Something seemed off about that area.

Lin Yun quickly stepped forward to carefully observe the secret group.

Upon noticing signs of a break in the branch next to the flower, I took two steps forward to get a closer look.

But just as he took the second step...

Suddenly, I realized that the soil beneath my feet was loose and soft.

He tried to escape but it was too late. With no foothold, he lost his balance and tumbled down the steep slope where the trees intertwined.
