She did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she smiled gently at the squad leader who looked a little awkward after she noticed him. She lowered her head and continued to check the medical supplies.
The squad leader’s face turned red when he saw the female soldier’s smile. Female soldiers were rare to begin with. Now that there was a female soldier who was even more beautiful than the most beautiful female cultural soldier. He didn’t dare to look at her.
They were already in the vehicle and the female soldier wasn’t left behind. He would pay more attention to her later.
As the squad leader of the military depot thought about this, he stopped paying attention to Ye Jian. It was too rude for a male soldier to stare at a female soldier. However, this female soldier was stronger than the female soldiers who lost contact with them. She never once said that she needed an oxygen tank.
Li Jinnian, who was resting with his eyes closed, didn’t say anything. Although he had trained in the highlands, he wasn’t as experienced as J5. All he needed to do now was learn from J5.
The ‘Z’ shaped road climbed up along the mountain, seemingly into heaven. No matter how slow the vehicle drove, the steep slope still caused everyone in the vehicle to sway left and right. Sometimes, they would even fall backward. The entire process was like doing a somersault, causing a ruckus in their stomachs.
The highest altitude in the world, the most difficult conditions, and the most dangerous hidden route to travel in a vehicle. After taking inventory of the medicine, Ye Jian closed her eyes and focused. Her body swayed along with the vehicle. Although she couldn’t sleep, it would reduce her motion sickness.
After driving for about 30 kilometers, the truck slowly came to a stop.
The moment the vehicle stopped, everyone inside opened their eyes.
Ye Jian turned her head and looked outside. From the dim light, she could tell that the sky was already dark. The only light that entered her eyes was from the snow.
Long Eagle, who got down from the vehicle, walked to the back of it, and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that the cultural troop who lost contact with us was caught in an avalanche.”
This was not good news!
Everyone in the vehicle instantly tensed up and jumped out. Only then did they know that the vehicle was parked on top of a mountain.
Taking advantage of the dim light from the snow, they could see the longest and most dangerous Tibetan route to Mazar Daban. One of the Tibetan routes was blocked by the collapsed snow.
An avalanche was one of the terrifying powers of nature.
Ye Jian looked into the distance. It didn’t seem far but it was about ten kilometers away. When she looked up slowly, she could see that one side of the snow mountain seemed to have been shaved off. The snow that never melted all year round had collapsed from the top of the mountain. Even though she was looking at it from a distance and even though the avalanche had stopped, she still felt scared.
The members of the Xueyu unit pursed their lips when they saw what had happened. J5 whispered to Li Jinnian, “The snow on the mountain has collapsed. I’m afraid the odds are against us.”
“In front of us is a curved road. The two drivers are officers with more than ten years of experience in driving on the roads here. If there are any abnormalities, they may go onto the curved road to avoid the avalanche,” Li Jinnian adjusted his binoculars and focused on the road. “As long as we go to the curved road, we may just get lucky.”
J5 knew he had been on this dangerous route before. Since he could remember it so clearly, it just went to show that he had been here more than once or twice. He must have been here countless times.
There was indeed a curved road up ahead. One of the routes was halfway into the mountain. The approximate location of the avalanche could be observed from the curved road.
At this moment, it had been six hours since they lost contact with the cultural troupe!
