On the screen, two faint red heat sources were clearly visible, standing close together!
"There are people down there, still alive! Two children!" Su Tang's voice was urgent, and the two immediately ran towards the stone house.
Qin Ye rushed ahead and reached the stone house in just a few steps.
Instead of acting rashly, he experiencedly tapped the huge chunks of snow and frozen soil pressing down on them with the handle of his multi-functional entrenching shovel.
He frowned as he listened to the dull echo.
"No, the structure is too fragile. Digging directly could cause a secondary collapse, completely compacting the already fragile space below!"
If this collapses, the people underneath will be completely doomed.
"I'll do it!" Su Tang decided immediately.
She quickly retrieved the silver-gray, oddly shaped T-3 directional vibration decomposer from her spatial storage.
Qin Ye glanced at her, and without saying a word, he took a step back, completely protecting Su Tang behind him. At the same time, he gripped his entrenching tool and cautiously scanned his surroundings.
Su Tang squatted down and aimed the decomposer at the most critical blocks of ice and frozen soil blocking the entrance, adjusting it to the lowest power setting.
"Buzz—"
A low, almost inaudible humming sound arose.
The ice and snow that blocked the entrance, as hard as iron, turned into fine white powder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then dissipated when blown by the cold wind.
In just over ten seconds, a narrow, dark hole appeared in front of the two of them.
The faint crying sound became much clearer.
Below the cave entrance, a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with a dirty face, was tightly hugging a little boy who looked only four or five years old with her thin body.
The girl's large eyes were now filled with fear and confusion, like a startled fawn staring intently at the two uninvited guests at the cave entrance.
The younger brother in her arms seemed to have frozen unconscious; only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
"Don't be afraid, we're here to rescue you," Su Tang immediately reassured you in the gentlest voice.
Before the two could rescue the child, a loud shout suddenly came from afar!
"You two! What are you doing!"
His voice was rough and fierce.
Su Tang and Qin Ye turned around at the same time and saw two burly men carrying heavy sticks and shovels walking towards them in the distance.
The leader was a man with a burly face and dark skin, whose eyes shone with a fierce and savage light; he was Lao Hei.
The man beside him was a tall, thin man with shifty eyes and a mean-spirited look.
The two were dressed warmly, but their hostile aura could be felt from a great distance.
Su Tang frowned, ignored them, and turned to get the child up first.
Saving lives is the priority.
"Hey! I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?" When Old Hei saw that they ignored him, he got angry and rushed over. He slammed the shovel he was holding onto the ground with a loud bang, sending up a cloud of ice shards.
Su Tang's hands continued moving, but she coldly squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Save people."
"Save people?" The tall, thin man next to Old Hei laughed in a sarcastic tone, his voice unsettling. "Save what? This snow has been burying people for two days already; they're long dead! Don't waste your energy here. If you dig and it collapses, disturbing the mountain god and bringing disaster, can you bear the responsibility?"
These words sounded grand and dignified, but the look in their eyes clearly told them to get lost.
Qin Ye sensed that something was wrong with the two burly men and the situation in the village.
He stepped forward and stood between Su Tang and the two people: "We just heard the child crying. We can't leave the living unattended."
Old Hei's contemptuous eyes swept up and down the two ragged, dusty-faced men, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. They were clearly no match for him.
"Outsiders, huh?" he warned in a condescending tone. "You've escaped from an avalanche, aren't you? You're pathetic enough, so I won't bother with you. Listen up, mind your own business! We'll handle things in this village ourselves. Get lost, or don't blame us for being rude!"
These words made the two even more suspicious of the village's situation.
Qin Ye's gaze, as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, fell on Lao Hei's face.
In an instant, an invisible, chilling killing intent enveloped Lao Hei.
That's someone who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; only those who have truly killed can hone their killing intent.
Qin Ye's lips moved, and he uttered three words through gritted teeth.
"Get lost, go far away."
Old Hei's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at. He felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head for no apparent reason. His hand holding the shovel trembled involuntarily, and he instinctively wanted to back away.
This person's eyes... why do they look like they want to kill someone?
