Su Tang immediately took out the thermal imaging life detector from her spatial storage.
This is standard equipment for disaster relief in her time, a hundred years from now. It can penetrate obstacles and detect heat sources emitted by living organisms within a three-kilometer radius.
She pointed the instrument at the village in the distance.
The next second, the scene displayed on the screen made her blood almost freeze.
On the screen, beneath the thick layer of blue snow, countless faint red dots were densely distributed, like scattered stars.
Each of those red dots represents a living person's vital signs!
Although faint, the number of them far exceeded her expectations.
One, ten, one hundred. More than three hundred!
So many... there are so many people still alive down there!
"Qin Ye..." Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "You...look!"
Qin Ye grabbed the instrument and his breath caught in his throat.
Alive...
so much……
It's all down there!
"This is a large village with hundreds of people."
"They are still alive."
The two exchanged a glance.
At that moment, they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Rescue people.
Without the slightest hesitation, and without uttering a single wasted word.
One is the benevolence of a doctor; saving lives and healing the wounded is an instinct etched into the soul.
One is that it is a soldier's duty to defend the country and protect the people, which is his lifelong belief.
"Let's go!" Qin Ye said only one word.
"We'll get off this way; it's the lowest risk and fastest!"
"good!"
Su Tang acted just as quickly, her mind racing.
"We can't just let this go; it's too conspicuous."
As Su Tang spoke, she quickly tore the two people's clean, thick coats to shreds, then rubbed them on the snow to get them covered in mud and ice.
"Make their faces even dirtier," she said, taking out some black paint from her storage space and mixing it with snow water. In no time, she painted the two of them with dusty, weathered faces.
Qin Ye remained silent, letting her apply the product to his face.
His wife always thinks things through more thoroughly than he does.
In disaster areas where the situation is unclear, camouflage is the best form of protection.
The two quickly tidied their clothes and, using professional mountaineering equipment, began their arduous trek towards the village.
The snow was already above knee-deep, and every step required tremendous effort.
Holding a multi-functional entrenching shovel, Qin Ye strode ahead, his tall figure like a wall, blocking most of the biting cold wind for Su Tang, while using the shovel to clear a path for her.
Su Tang followed closely behind him, but the huge weight in her heart did not lessen; instead, it became even heavier.
The more than three hundred red dots on the thermal imager were like more than three hundred heavy responsibilities weighing on her heart.
After nearly two hours, they finally reached the edge of the village.
The scene before my eyes was a hundred times more horrific than what I had seen through the binoculars.
Huge blocks of ice, twisted tree trunks, ripped-up house ruins... everything was mixed together, blocking the road.
Just as Qin Ye was preparing to find a relatively safe entrance, a faint, intermittent cry of a child drifted into their ears on the wind.
The crying was so faint, barely a whisper, like a frozen kitten whimpering.
Su Tang acted quickly, immediately raising the thermal imaging camera and rapidly locking onto the direction of the crying!
The target was a Tibetan-style stone house that had been partially crushed by huge snow blocks.
