But Jiang Yimei couldn't hold on any longer.

She felt dizzy, weak all over, and had difficulty breathing; she felt like she was about to die.

Jiang Yimei, who could still barely walk a few steps, suddenly collapsed into her arms, and Yaoyao panicked instantly.

"Yi Yi, what's wrong?"

"Yi Yi, wake up!"

"Yi Yi, don't scare me!"

After calling her name three times without getting a response from Jiang Yimei, Yao Yao could no longer remain calm.

"Captain, my friend has fainted!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping, who was looking for a new path ahead, immediately turned back and came to Jiang Yimei's side.

Checking Jiang Yimei's breathing and heartbeat, and then checking her forehead temperature, revealed that they were all abnormal.

Zhou Ping grew increasingly anxious. This situation meant that Jiang Yimei was terminally ill and her life was in danger at any moment.

He dared not delay any longer and immediately took out his satellite phone.

As a seasoned hiker, I also experience moments of helplessness when facing nature.

Having survived several dangerous situations, he has learned to prepare satellite phones, which have become an indispensable piece of mountaineering equipment, especially since he entered this industry.

However, he searched his entire body but couldn't find the satellite phone.

Now they were even more panicked.

The satellite phone wasn't hidden in the backpack because backpacks are items that are easily lost.

When faced with flash floods or other emergencies, he had to abandon his backpack.

Normally, he would hide the satellite phone inside his clothes.

It was fastened with buttons, so why is it gone?

He kept thinking and reminiscing.

Seeing the captain frowning and remaining silent for a long time, Yao Yao was extremely anxious, her eyes reddening: "Captain, what are you doing? My friend's life is in danger, please save her!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Ping could only think of one possibility: yesterday evening, when he was searching for a way in the heavy rain, he accidentally almost fell off a cliff, and his satellite phone may have been lost at that time.

"Why!"

What an unlucky time.

Yao Yao grabbed Zhou Ping's arm, her eyes filled with tears, and shook it repeatedly: "Captain! Can you hear me?"

Zhou Ping said helplessly, "Stop shaking it, I can't do anything about it!"

"What did you say? Didn't you say that you could handle any danger?"

Yao Yao broke down.

The reason Zhou Ping was chosen as the team leader is because he can promise to ensure their safe return no matter what danger they encounter.

Zhou Ping explained his predicament: "The satellite phone is lost, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Yao Yao pointed at Zhou Ping with furious rage, her heart filled with hatred: "You...you're a complete scoundrel."

After enduring it all night, Zhou Ping could no longer hold back: "If your friend hadn't been randomly swatting at the bloodsucking worms last night, this wouldn't have happened."

Yao Yao asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with bloodsuckers?"

She cannot accept this attempt to shift the blame.

Zhou Ping explained: "Bloodsuckers usually carry germs on their bodies, and if a human is infected, it can easily lead to serious problems."

"What?" Yao Yao exclaimed in surprise, then asked, "Then why am I alright?"

Last night, just like Jiang Yimei, she randomly photographed and scratched the bloodsucking worms. Why was Jiang Yimei in trouble, but she was fine?

Zhou Ping: "You're lucky!"

That is indeed the case.

Not everyone who randomly catches or swattes bloodsuckers will get into trouble; it depends on whether the bloodsuckers carry viruses.

Jiang Yimei was very unfortunate; she just happened to be infected with a deadly virus.
