Chapter 272 Rescue (22)

The man thought about it and realized that they really had no obligation to forgive her, so he smiled apologetically and said, "I will definitely tell her when I get back. I'm sorry."

Without waiting for their answer, the man turned and left.

Brother Li, who had been watching the whole process from the side, was really unable to react to their actions for a while.

Brother Li laughed and said, "What's with your reaction? It doesn't seem to go along with common sense, but somehow it seems normal."

Lan Jin was speechless and said, "Of course it's normal. It's the end of the world, and she still thinks she's a little princess in a peaceful world. She's been spoiled by her bad habits."

"That's right, you can tell at a glance that this person hasn't suffered any hardship. Forget it, leave her alone. We still need to think of a solution over here."

Brother Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know who that girl is?"

"I don't know, but in a military base, there should be relatives and connections everywhere." Lao Gao said in a very nonchalant manner, "Even if they are relatives of someone, we can't stand being bullied."

It’s not okay before the end of the world, and it’s even worse after the end of the world.

Ling Jiang agreed with Lao Gao's statement and said, "That's right, who cares whose relative she is? Just do it."

Brother Li's mouth twitched as he said, "That girl's name is Pei Xin, she's Professor Pei's granddaughter, and that boy is Professor Pei's last disciple, the last one he accepted before the end of the world. His name is Xi Yu."

So, what does it have to do with them?

Seeing that the four of them still didn't seem to care, Brother Li didn't continue the topic.

…

After a while, all the broken ice at the entrance of the passage had been cleared away.

Lao Gao stepped forward and pushed the ice blocks blocking the passage. Because of the collapse and the subsequent icy rain, the ice before him was now much harder than before. He said, "Given its hardness, Sister Lan, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with. You try it first. If that doesn't work, we can think of another way."

"Okay, I'll try it first."

Lan Jin stepped forward, used the Ning Zi Ring to conjure a sharp spike, and stabbed it into the ice drop with all his strength.

Following the trend, she retracted her supernatural power, and a long, thin hole appeared in the solid ice. Lan Jin said happily, "Okay, I'll make the hole bigger."

After she finished speaking, she conjured up another sharp spike and kept poking around the hole. Soon, a hole the size of a fist was formed.

Lan Jin said with satisfaction: "This size is fine, Lao Gao, you can try it."

Lao Gao immediately stepped forward, generated a small fireball in his right hand, and threw it directly into the hole.

Because the last incident left such a deep impression on them, their faces were still raw for a while, so before the old master threw the fireball, they naturally backed away...

However, after the fireball was thrown in with a dull thud, it did not bring about black smoke, sparks, or even shatter the surrounding ice. Instead, it caused the ice layer to explode, spreading multiple cracks.

Hearing this dangerous sound, the people who had already retreated to the rear subconsciously took several steps back again. They waited until the explosion sound subsided before they dared to step forward to check the situation.

Let’s not talk about what’s far away, they can’t see it clearly, but as for what’s in front of them——

We really can't continue to explode. It's okay if no one is walking on it, but if someone walks on it and something happens to the ice, we won't be able to carry out rescue in this accident.

Brother Li took a deep breath and suddenly felt a headache.

He said, "I'm afraid it can't explode again. Previously, the ice wasn't packed tightly enough, so there were some cracks. It could have held up for a while after the explosion, but now... forget it, forget it. Is there any other way?"

I can't look at it, it hurts my eyes.

One of the base's psychics said, "Can we use fire? We have a lot of people with fire abilities. We can keep replenishing the crystals and then burn a hole."

"It's too long, this road is too long. How many crystals and superpowers will be consumed to burn all the way." Another superpower user disagreed.

Immediately, another person expressed his opinion, "Yes, it's not that we don't want to expend our energy, but burning a passage like this is too difficult. Furthermore, we don't know if the road ahead is passable. What if we burn halfway through and the fragments of the shield block the way, then all our energy and crystals will be wasted. Of course, human lives are a minor concern, but the ice is already shattered. If it collapses, it's no joke."

"Is there any other way?" asked the psychic in the crowd.

"Think about it, think about it again. It's only been a short time. I'm sure we can come up with a solution."

Then, the scene was silent.

But in fact, their idea has always been to dig a passage under the ice to rescue people, just like Brother Zhang did before, entering and exiting the passage freely.

But, Brother Zhang asked us to burn the passage to facilitate the transportation of supplies. Now there is no need to transport any supplies, so why do we have to go under the ice?

Besides, the blizzard outside was indeed very severe, but wouldn't it stop? They could use some small equipment to deliver some edible food to those people first. When the blizzard stopped, they could either come back on their own or they could go pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Brother Li said immediately after hearing this: "The heating over there has been turned off. Fortunately, it is more than 30 degrees below zero during the day, and their clothes can withstand it, but what about at night? It is more than 50 degrees below zero, and the body cannot withstand it without heating.

We've already brought back all the supplies that are easy to transport, like our mattresses and sheets. In other words, aside from the capsule itself, there aren't any flammable items. The capsule is tightly sealed, so closing the door is a good way to hide, but without heating, the air can't be circulated. Hiding inside for warmth is tantamount to seeking death, and the bottom line is, it won't provide much warmth.

In other words, the most urgent task is to rescue the person as soon as possible.

Lan Jin said bluntly: "Since the road below is blocked, why don't we go directly from the top? Even if it's a distance, it's closer from the top."

If you go to the capsule dormitory from the passage, it is an L-shaped section, and the distance of this section is about 2,000 meters, but if you go directly through it, the distance is about 800 meters.

Even if Lan Jin had misjudged the distance, it wouldn't actually be that far off.

But if you go from above, there will be more than one difficult thing.

For example, passing through a blizzard, or the rising ice layer, means that the entrance is actually blocked. Even if they pass through the blizzard, how can they reach the door and enter the base?

But in fact, for Brother Zhang's team, getting through the blizzard is not a problem. After all, the teams that can stay in the military base are all elite teams. They have faced the most difficult situations. In addition, with the instructions from their side, it is a little difficult, but it is not impossible to get through.
