Chapter 411

Jiang Xingye’s eyes were exceptionally sharp, searching for anything suspicious in the vast snow sea, but he found nothing.

He said in a deep voice, “Could it be that they set up their stronghold underground? After all, it’s extremely cold now, and being underground offers better protection from the cold and can better conceal their movements.”

Lin Qianhuan stroked her chin, “That’s not impossible, but if that’s the case, things will be very difficult. We might end up empty-handed.”

After all, the west is sparsely populated, the snow is several stories high, and the temperature is frighteningly low. Even fully equipped, they would not be able to traverse the layers of obstacles, let alone find any trace of the Salvation Society. After all, the Wolf Fang helicopter can fly in the sky, but it can’t go underground.

Jiang Xing looked down below and then looked up at the sky, which was gradually darkening. “Let’s wait a little longer. It might be better when it gets dark. As long as there are people living below, we can follow the lights to find them. Even if they’re not believers of the Salvation Society, it would be a significant gain for us. After all, they must be more familiar with this wilderness and can detect any abnormalities.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded upon hearing this, “Alright, then let’s wander around this area first. The sky is already getting dark, and it won’t be long before it’s completely dark, which will make it easier to find people.”

With that, she controlled the helicopter and began to wander around and patrol.

Jiang Xing sat in his seat, his hands moving non-stop, peeling hot, fragrant sugar-roasted chestnuts for Lin Qianhuan. “If the Salvation Society is really in this area, they’ve probably already hidden. After all, this helicopter is too conspicuous and can easily be detected. They definitely don’t want their stronghold exposed, so they’re likely holed up underground until we leave.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled and shook her head, slightly turning her head to bite a chestnut that Jiang Xing handed over. “If we were really discovered by the Salvation Society, their first reaction would never be to hide and run, but to attack and take our lives.”

Jiang Xing frowned slightly, “Why do you say that? Wouldn’t launching an attack make it easier to expose their position?”

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes twinkled with a smile as she looked down to observe the situation below, avoiding missing any details. “What do you think the Salvation Society most urgently wants to do now?”

Jiang Xing pondered for a moment, “Occupy the large bases of Huaxia?”

“Then why do they want to occupy the large bases of Huaxia?”

“In order to gradually lead humanity to extinction and complete their so-called salvation plan.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded, “Right, that’s it. Since the defeat at the Nanfeng base, the Salvation Society has been hiding in the shadows, recuperating and accumulating strength. Although they also made a move against the Xiangyang base in the middle, it was obviously ineffective and even resulted in the loss of a relatively unique test subject. In the eyes of the Salvation Society, the appearance of the Wolf Fang helicopter is tantamount to a demonstration and mockery of them by the human camp. After repeated defeats, I think they are now eager to win back a game, but they can’t take action due to the extreme cold. And the two of us are tantamount to prey delivered to their door, the best choice for them to ridicule the human camp.”

Jiang Xing’s hand, which was peeling chestnuts, paused slightly, “That does make some sense, but would the Salvation Society really be so impulsive? Killing us would indeed barely win back a game, but if they expose their position, they will definitely fall into turmoil. I don’t think the leader of the Salvation Society would be so stupid.”

Lin Qianhuan raised her hand and gently tapped his forehead, “Silly. It’s extremely cold now, even if they expose their position, do you think it will affect them? Would humans drive over to fight them in a fierce battle?”

Jiang Xing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, thoughtfully saying, “That makes sense. As long as the extreme cold hasn’t passed and the snow on the road hasn’t melted, the major bases can’t do anything about them. Even if the snow melts, they would have packed their bags and run away long ago, and the arriving cleanup squad would only find nothing and gain nothing.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled and nodded, “That’s right, so the Salvation Society is fearless. They have failed too many times and urgently need a vent, and they also need an opportunity to demonstrate to the human camp. So, they won’t let the two of us go.”

In the intervals between their conversation, the sky had completely darkened. The slightly dim glow at the horizon dyed the snow surface red, and the earth seemed to have fallen into a slumber, without a trace of life.

Lin Qianhuan flew the helicopter around and around, but still didn’t find anything. Seeing the time passing quickly, she sighed helplessly. “Forget it, since we can’t find any clues, let’s switch to another area.”

As she said this and was about to turn east, she caught a glimpse of a flickering light. In order to better observe the ground conditions, the helicopter’s position was not very high to begin with. Lin Qianhuan took a closer look and found that there was a figure standing on the open space in the center of two towering snow mountains. He was holding a torch in his hand and waving it vigorously, trying to attract the helicopter’s attention.

“Oh, there’s actually someone here? How did they survive? That’s quite rare.”

Jiang Xing also spotted the person and turned to ask, “Want to go take a look?”

Lin Qianhuan controlled the helicopter to fly towards the location of the torch, “Of course.”

Seeing the helicopter getting closer and closer, the man waving the torch let out all his strength, and tears welled up in his eyes. “Someone’s coming… someone’s coming… someone’s really coming!”

He raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and waved at the two figures inside the plane.

The helicopter was too heavy, and landing on the snow was very dangerous, so Lin Qianhuan simply took the helicopter into the Space a few meters above the ground, and stepped on the mental barrier with Jiang Xing to land on the ground.

The snow in this area seemed to have been specially treated, trampled very firmly, and even embedded with gravel for anti-skid.

The man witnessed the sudden disappearance of the helicopter, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurried to meet them. “Are you survivors from which base? Did the Rose Base send you to save us?”

His eyes were full of hope, shining with light, as hot as if flames were burning.

Lin Qianhuan shook her head, “We are from the Kyoto base and have not heard of any Rose Base.”

Hearing her say this, the man was silent for a moment, and then perked up again. “Kyoto base? One of the official bases of Huaxia?”

Lin Qianhuan nodded in response, not mentioning the name of the Xiangyang base. After all, the Xiangyang base doesn’t have much fame now, and it definitely doesn’t sound as convincing as the Kyoto base.

The man nodded and reached out to shake hands with Lin Qianhuan and Jiang Xing respectively. “Hello, I am Xiang Yunduan, the captain of the Superpower squad of the Rose Base. Oh, look at my head, let’s not chat outside, let’s go inside and warm up.”

Lin Qianhuan and Jiang Xing exchanged glances, did not refuse, and stepped forward to follow him.
