Chapter 1788: You’re Soldiers
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The female soldiers Liu Yuan and Wei Jiayue took the initiative to step forward. They followed Qin Xiu to the truck in front to help.
After a round of persuasion, the female soldiers didn’t let their conflict affect their teamwork anymore.
“The snow shovels are all in the truck. When shoveling snow, leave one person standing guard and keep an eye on the surroundings at all times. Especially at the top of the mountain. Once you spot any loose snow, run immediately.”
After crossing back and forth four times, Qin Xiu was still worried about leaving the other five female soldiers here. He reminded them carefully to prevent any accidents from happening again. “Move the supplies in the truck and put them on the curved road. If there’s an avalanche again, you can hide there. Eat the food there and wear those clothes until the rescue team arrives.”
He didn’t say anything to comfort the female soldiers so that they wouldn’t be afraid anymore. Instead, he told them that as long as they were here, danger would always be present. He told them to be mentally prepared and to be vigilant against any possible dangers.
The female soldiers were all frightened by his words and their lips tightened. There was a hint of fear in their eyes.
“Alright, Sisters, let’s get to work. We’re not doing this for anyone else, but for ourselves! Hao Zhen, Wu Ziwei, Fu Hui, Ning Anwen, Li Fei, the five of you will take turns to keep watch. Whoever is tired of shoveling snow will keep watch. Four of us need to be shoveling snow, while one of us will keep watch.” Wei Jiayue calmly made arrangements. She was the oldest in the army, so she had to take the lead.
With a female soldier who could take the lead, Qin Xiu’s arrangements could be carried out faster. He helped them carry the two bags of supplies from the truck to a safe area. Only then did Qin Xiu leave with Liu Yuan and Wei Jiayue.
“Will Liu Yuan and the rest be in danger? The entire road has been cut off by the snow. If they want to get to the truck in front, they’ll have to climb over this pile of snow.” Fu Hui, who was the youngest in the army, was the first to stand guard. She did not even turn her head as she walked toward the mountain-like pile of snow with a worried expression.
The female soldiers who took out a few foldable shovels from their toolbox couldn’t help but look ahead. Who knew if it would be dangerous?
“No wonder the male soldier in our truck left with Reporter Qin for a few hours. It turns out that they climbed over the snow to look for the truck in front. Liu Yuan and Weiyue are brave. With Reporter Qin taking care of them, they should be fine.”
“Alright, cut the crap and get to work! Reporter Qin tied the ropes to the back of our truck, so the truck in front is probably quite close to us. Otherwise, the rope wouldn’t have been able to reach us.”
The three figures in front of them started to climb up the pile of snow. The five female soldiers, whose hands and feet were cold due to the wind from the snow mountain, stopped standing around. They took the shovels and started to shovel the snow into the truck.
There was a lack of oxygen in the highlands, so they couldn’t work too quickly. If their heartbeats accelerated too quickly, it would be easier for them to have altitude sickness.
No one wanted any accidents to happen to their bodies at such a time. They had to shovel the snow rhythmically.
In front, Qin Xiu was the first to climb up the small mountain of snow. When he came out of the truck to look for the truck in front earlier, that was his first time going over the snow pile. Even as a man, he was frightened until he broke out in a cold sweat.
The snow was piled up into a small mountain, and it was especially steep. At that time, he had climbed less than two meters with the veteran in front. When he glanced down at the snow, he was so frightened by the cliff that his heart skipped a beat. When he managed to climb down, even his knees felt weak.. It took the veteran a while to recover as well.
