Wang Feifei took out some usable medicines from her stockpile, as well as a century-old ginseng that her father had left behind, and put it into her backpack.
She changed into her ice climbing shoes, held onto the stair railing, and slowly made her way down the stairs...
The icy ground was extremely slippery, and Wang Feifei slipped and fell several times at first because she hadn't quite mastered the technique.
"So it turns out that Xu Neng goes through so much trouble every time he comes to see me."
Gradually, she learned to make sure to firmly insert the spikes from the soles of her shoes into the ice before taking the next step, so that she wouldn't slip.
It took Wang Feifei a long time to get downstairs. Looking at the extreme white all around, so white it was blinding, the unfinished building complex was nothing like the one she remembered.
Wang Feifei put on goggles, changed into sled boots, put another pair of shoes in her backpack, and tried to glide forward.
The last time I skied was when my parents were still alive. Our family went to Switzerland, and I learned from an instructor for a day and was able to ski a little bit.
After so many years, it took her a long time to regain her balance, and she carefully explored and learned before slowly setting off.
The polar suit that Xu Neng brought her was particularly thick, and it was the same size as what the apostles wore. She was completely covered up, and only her hands were a little cold.
Wang Feifei was dressed entirely in white from head to toe, and with goggles on, she could be perfectly hidden in the vast white snow.
Following the location given by Xiao Gao, she slowly glided towards the base.
...
Before President Xu's emergency treatment was over, Xiao Gao was summoned by Hu Tianhao again.
He was the only eyewitness to what happened last night. Secretary Cui died there, and Xu Neng was also seriously injured. Hu Tianhao wanted to interrogate him personally.
"Tell me what happened last night."
As soon as Xiao Gao stood still, Hu Tianhao's authoritative voice came over him.
"Reporting to the leader, yesterday Commander Xu's task for me was to ensure Secretary Cui's safety, so Secretary Cui and I were not with them. After they finished exploring each area, Secretary Cui and I followed up."
Why were they attacked?
"I don't know either. When Secretary Cui and I arrived at the Third District, there were many people lying on the ground. When I went to check on Commander Xu, Secretary Cui was suddenly killed."
“I was afraid that person would tip him off, so I fought with him. When I came back, I found that Secretary Cui was no longer alive.”
Hu Tianhao stared intently at Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao, having spent so much time with Xu Neng, was all too familiar with this atmosphere. He showed no fear, his gaze open and honest.
"I failed to protect Secretary Cui; it was my fault. I beg the leader to punish me."
Hu Tianhao remained silent for a long time. Xiao Gao looked at his slightly tired face and sighed that he was indeed lacking in physical strength.
"Alright, you can go now."
Seeing that he couldn't extract any useful information, Hu Tianhao had no choice but to give up.
When Xiao Gao returned to the ward, the emergency treatment was over. Although Xu Neng had survived, he was severely injured and remained unconscious.
When Xiao Gao saw Dr. Chen come out, he rushed over to ask what was wrong.
"May I go in and see Commander Xu?"
"He is still in a coma, so try not to disturb him. He is too weak, and we don't know when he will wake up. Fortunately, he is in good health, and the surgery went relatively smoothly."
After seeing Dr. Chen off, Xiao Gao secretly peeked inside. Xu Neng was fast asleep, his face deathly pale. He had lost too much blood during his last gamble last night…
"How happy he would be if he knew Miss Wang had come to see him!"
Xiao Gao secretly made up his mind that this time he must protect Miss Wang and not let her be in any danger!
He checked the time, estimated that he was almost there, and hurried to the warehouse to get the smallest size suit.
After taking off her polar suit, she had to put on this outfit to avoid being detected. Xiao Gao also slipped her token inside; her status as a Level Two Apostle would also help her avoid being questioned.
Having prepared everything, he hurried to the agreed location.
Xiao Gao chose a spot near the most secluded eastern entrance of the back mountain.
The area outside the east entrance is inconvenient to access due to its uneven terrain and dense trees, so few people walk through this entrance. It is the perfect place for Wang Feifei to walk through.
The meeting place that Xiao Gao gave to Wang Feifei was a small cave not far from the east entrance. The cave entrance was open, and the interior space was semi-circular.
The area is surrounded by dense forest and is quite secluded.
When he entered the small cave, he found an old man huddled inside, who looked like he had been frozen to death for a long time and was completely frozen solid.
Who could this be?
He looked at the face carefully, but didn't seem to recognize him. He then searched his person and found nothing but a cell phone.
Worried that Wang Feifei would be frightened, Xiao Gao moved the old man out of the cave and buried him...
About twenty minutes later, Wang Feifei arrived. She hadn't encountered anyone along the way, so it went relatively smoothly.
As soon as she entered the cave, she saw Xiao Gao and others inside. Thinking of Xu Neng, she held back her tears and asked:
"How is Xu Neng?"
"The surgery is over, but he is still unconscious."
Xiao Gao hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke:
“Ms. Wang, you’d better not go in. Even if you see Mr. Xu, he’s still unconscious. Don’t take such a big risk.”
Xiao Gao tried his best to persuade her to go back:
"I'll tell Mr. Xu you've been here, he'll be very happy. Now you should leave and go home!"
"I won't go back until I see him."
Wang Feifei said firmly.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Xiao Gao nodded helplessly.
That's right. The woman Mr. Xu likes must be different from others. Well, I'll do my best to protect her.
"Miss Wang, change into these clothes. I'll sneak you in. Once inside, you'll be 'Captain Gao.' Don't say a word!"
Xiao Gao then took out another token and handed it to her:
"This is the token of a Level Two Apostle. Show it and no one will dare to question you. Remember not to speak. A woman's voice is the biggest weakness."
Now, only Xu Neng remains as a Level One Apostle, and since Shen Qingshan has purged most of the Level Two Apostles, she has acquired the identity of "Captain Gao," so indeed no one dares to investigate her.
After saying that, Xiao Gao left the cave, leaving Wang Feifei inside to change her clothes.
He took out the phone he had just found, glanced at it, and then put it back in his pocket. Phones were still relatively scarce; he might as well keep it…
Wang Feifei came out after changing her clothes. Luckily, she was quite tall, so the clothes fit her fairly well.
Xiao Gao was about to lead her away when he noticed she was still carrying a backpack, and he frowned slightly.
"This backpack is too conspicuous. Aside from missions, very few apostles carry backpacks. Could we leave it here and pick it up when we get back?"
After much hesitation, Wang Feifei put the ginseng down. However, she secretly hid the ginseng she had given to Xu Neng in her bosom. She thought it was very useful for replenishing qi and blood and hoped it would help him.
After getting everything ready, they headed towards the east entrance. Xiao Gao had chosen a good spot; there were very few guards, only two people standing at the cave entrance, making it almost effortless for them to enter.
Looking into the dimly lit passage, Wang Feifei realized this was her first time entering the "Frost Society" base, and she hoped nothing bad would happen...
