Chapter 382 If he doesn’t die, I will be wiped out.

After the butler finished speaking, Leo fell silent.

No one knew that what he feared most was mountain climbing, let alone snowy mountains.

"You can stay at the foot of the mountain and provide support." Shen Que, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He knew Leo well enough to know that this guy didn't like hiking.

But Leo didn't agree as readily as before. Instead, he quickly glanced at Meng Zhiyi and shook his head: "No, I'm already here, I can't back down."

Shen Que frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Leo.

To avoid being seen as a bitch, Leo quickly said, "You two are going to face Lian Mubai. Wang Xiao and the others are going to be responsible for rescuing Grandma Shen. So I have to take care of the housekeeper, right?"

"Or is it that the housekeeper is not going up?"

Butler: "I have to go up."

He wanted to say that he didn't need any care, but when he thought of the agreement between Meng Zhiyi and Leo, he had to swallow it back.

Shen Que wanted to say something, but the sudden shaking of the ground made everyone look froze.

"Was it just an earthquake?" Leo stood up and walked to the window to look out, and found that an avalanche had occurred on the snow-capped mountains in front of him.

Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que ran to the roof, and the howling wind and snow almost caused Meng Zhiyi to fall.

Shen Que quickly grabbed her and used his body to block most of the wind and snow for her. Then Meng Zhiyi looked towards the source of the vibration through a telescope.

I saw a large piece of mountain sliding down halfway up the snow-capped mountain.

Meng Zhiyi said solemnly: "Why did the avalanche happen suddenly? Could it be that Lian Mubai has already gone up the mountain?"

"It's unlikely to go up the mountain in such a strong snowstorm." As he said this, Shen Que looked at the dark clouds above his head.

"It's magnetic field fluctuations." The housekeeper also went up to the roof and said in a serious tone: "The duration of magnetic field fluctuations is cyclical. If you miss this one, you will have to wait another three months."

Meng Zhiyi: "If he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, he would go up the mountain regardless of everything. Then why did he capture grandma?"

"He wants to take the young lady away." The butler stood on the roof, and the violent snowstorm seemed to have no effect on him.

Although he is already in his twilight years, Meng Zhiyi can't see any sign of aging in him.

Shen Que: "Take it away? What do you mean?"

Meng Zhiyi said solemnly: "Extract the soul, like binding the system, and take grandma away from this world."

[MD, Lian Mubai, this pervert, turns out he has always been targeting my grandma! ]

"There's a helicopter!" Leo came up without knowing when, and looked at the snow-capped mountains with a telescope.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiyi quickly looked through the telescope and saw a helicopter landing at the foot of the mountain.

"My teeth are sore." Leo looked at Shen Que and said resentfully, "We are obviously not short of money, so why can't you get a plane over here?"

Shen Que said with a serious face: "Aren't you in charge of the black market? Can't you transfer one over here?"

Leo: "Yeah! I'll arrange it right away!"

After saying this, he quickly went downstairs and contacted his men using the radio.

Meng Zhiyi put away his binoculars and said in a serious tone, "It all depends on when the snowstorm stops. As soon as it stops, we will act immediately."

But the snowstorm lasted for three whole days.

During these three days, Meng Zhiyi and his team were unable to leave the base and could only observe through a telescope on the rooftop. The helicopter that Leo had mobilized had also arrived at the previous port.

"Divide the troops into two groups. Wang Xiao, you lead the troops to their station, and the others go to the top of the mountain."

As soon as the wind and snow stopped, Meng Zhiyi and his men took action immediately.

The team led by Wang Xiao has already ridden snowmobiles to Lian Mubai's base, while the others went up the mountain by helicopter.

This dormant volcano is the largest on the ice field, with the top of the mountain nearly four thousand meters above sea level. Even though the wind and snow have stopped, the wind at the top of the mountain is still strong.

Meng Zhiyi and his team's route up the mountain was on the back of the volcano, just in time to avoid meeting Lian Mubai and his team halfway.

When the helicopter was almost reaching the top of the mountain, the wind was so strong that it could only drop the people off about one-third of the way from the top.

Meng Zhiyi thought they could only walk for the rest of the journey.

Fortunately, the snow here at the crater near the top of the mountain is not as thick as that halfway up the mountain.

After spending most of the day, the group finally reached the top of the mountain and found a sheltered valley as a temporary base.

After taking a short rest, Meng Zhiyi took his equipment and went to the crater to survey the terrain in advance.

Shen Que was worried about her being alone, so he asked Leo to stay with the housekeeper and the others, and he followed.

The wind was howling at the top of the mountain, and you had to lean close to hear what was said.

As they walked towards the crater, Shen Que felt more and more uneasy.

"Yiyi." Suddenly, Shen Que grabbed Meng Zhiyi who was walking forward.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zhiyi stopped and asked in his ear.

Shen Que held her hand tightly, his eyes covered with snow and wind staring at the person in front of him: "Tell me the truth, are you in danger when you deal with Lian Mubai this time?"

Meng Zhiyi's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Her hesitation made Shen Que realize that it was not a simple matter. "It's dangerous, right? Is it like last time, where you have to gamble with your life again? Right?"

Meng Zhiyi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and dared not look into Shen Que's eyes again.

She wanted to say no.

I wanted to tell him calmly, as I did before, that nothing would happen to me.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

Her silence made Shen Que even more uneasy.

He held her tightly in his arms, pleading, "Promise me, don't...don't do it like last time...okay?"

Shen Que knew that Meng Zhiyi had to do this, and he also knew that they had to get rid of Lian Mubai this time in order to save grandma.

I also know that I can't selfishly ask her not to do it.

So he only hoped that Meng Zhiyi could pay more attention to his own safety when taking action.

Meng Zhiyi hugged him back, tilted her head slightly and whispered in his ear: "Shen Que, I can't guarantee you that you can get away with it."

Shen Que's voice trembled: "Yi Yi..."

"But." Meng Zhiyi interrupted him and continued: "My system gave me a chance to be resurrected before."

Shen Que: “You mean?”

Meng Zhiyi: "Well, if I really have no other choice, then I can only drag Lian Mubai down with me."

"No." Shen Que hugged her tighter and trembled as he repeated, "No..."

"Shen Que, please listen to what I have to say first." Meng Zhiyi slightly stepped out of his arms and looked up into his eyes.

He continued, "If Lian Mubai doesn't die, I will be wiped out."

"What did you say?" Shen Que's pupils suddenly shrank.

Meng Zhiyi looked at him calmly and continued, "I have never told you that this is my last chance to kill Lian Mubai and save myself. If he doesn't die, I will be wiped out."
