Chapter 246 It’s Good to Be Alive
The helicopter once again flew over the sky where Zhou Nanxu disappeared, circled back and forth several times, rising and falling, looking for a suitable place to land.
Qin Cheng suddenly felt the fuselage vibrate violently in the low altitude. The landing gear on the right side of the helicopter suddenly pierced the air like the sharp claws of a proud eagle, and tilted in an almost weird posture.
The left rotor almost brushed the surrounding snow slopes, and the air waves it created made the accumulated snow squeak. The tail propeller frantically cut through the airflow, making a piercing roar, like the unwilling roar of a giant beast.
Rong Mei clenched her jaw as she watched the red warning light on the dashboard flashing non-stop. Her hands were as steady as steel as she wrestled with this thrilling game.
The helicopter was getting closer and closer to the ground. Qin Cheng opened the cabin door and a strong airflow rushed towards him, almost knocking him and Da Sui over. Fortunately, he had already made sufficient preparations. One hand tightly grasped the handrail beside the cabin door, and the other hand tightly grasped Da Sui's rope.
As soon as one wheel touched the ground, Rong Mei shouted towards the rear cabin, "Jump!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Sui jumped ahead of Qin Cheng and landed on the ground, with Qin Cheng following closely behind him.
After the man and the dog successfully reached the ground and were a certain distance away from the helicopter, Rong Mei controlled the helicopter to take off the ground.
When the plane reached a safe altitude, he turned his head to look at the man and the dog on the ground and shouted again, "Bring him back!"
Qin Cheng held his head high, waved his hands toward the sky above his head, and promised loudly, "I definitely will!"

cold.
The cold air was like thousands of poisoned steel needles, drilling in through the collar and cuffs of clothes, numbing every inch of skin.
Snow particles mixed with ice crystals continuously poured into the neck and instantly froze into a cold hard block, as if someone had stuffed a handful of crushed ice directly into the spine.
My legs, buried in the snow, had long lost all feeling, and I no longer had the strength to twitch my toes.
The coldness was like countless tiny icicles, biting away the remaining body temperature inch by inch, and consciousness gradually became chaotic and blurred in this biting cold...
There seemed to be a rustling sound outside the cave, followed by a burst of urgent whimpering, and the sound and movement became louder.
This instantly perked up Zhou Nanxu, who had been in a daze.
If he heard it correctly, it was the sound of an animal's paws scratching the snow. A snow leopard? A wolf? A wolverine? Or maybe a brown bear?
At this time, Zhou Nanxu, who was in the cramped space, had no idea what was happening outside.
All he knew was that he rolled down from the snowy mountain and stopped in this dark and narrow cave that could just accommodate one person. However, before he had any chance to prepare, the avalanche from the top of the mountain came right after. He reacted quickly and rushed into the cave immediately regardless of the pain in his body. However, the avalanche was moving too fast and he only got half of his body in. His legs were buried by the thick snow before he could even step in.
He tried to pull his legs out more than once, but every time he moved he felt more snow piling up. After the two times he dared not move rashly again. You know, this is a snowy mountain and any loud noise could easily lead to an avalanche.
At this moment, although he didn't understand what species was digging the snow outside, he had to be fully alert to face it all so as not to die in the mouth of the prey outside and leave no trace.
Although his legs could not move at the moment, he still felt the weight on his legs gradually getting lighter, which meant that as long as he could make the prey outside his own, he would still have a chance of survival. However, in his current state, if there was a ferocious beast like a brown bear or a wolf outside...
"Woof woof woof--" Just as he took out the dagger at his waist and prepared for battle, the sound coming from outside made him stunned.
If he heard correctly, this was...a dog barking?
Before he could carefully identify it, with a plop, the accumulated snow kept falling from beside him into the cave, bringing up balls of silver mist. The claws also scratched more fiercely at this time, and the sounds became more uneven.
With a clang, a beam of light split the darkness and shone in. Before he could adapt, it became dark again.
Because - a big furry head blocked the entrance of the cave. The moment it discovered him, it made an anxious whimpering sound in its throat, and without waiting for him to react, it eagerly bit the corner of his clothes and pulled him out.
Just like this, little by little, Zhou Nanxu did not resist at all and let the big dog drag him...
Let him see the light again, let him breathe fresh air again.
When he came out of the cave completely, he found out that it was not just one dog that saved him, but several other dogs, big and small. They were all wearing armor and had leashes around their necks, which showed that they were raised by someone.
Zhou Nanxu raised his numb hands tremblingly, his fingertips hanging in the air without falling, and looked at the little ones standing in front of him with gentle eyes, "Thank you, thank you for saving me..."
"Hum-hum-hum--" Several little ones made whimpering sounds one after another. The biggest one lay down beside him and kept scratching his hands with its claws.
Zhou Nanxu thought it was just acting coquettishly with him, silently saying "you're welcome".
I raised my palm and touched the dog's fluffy head. The moment my fingertips touched the soft fur, I felt warm warmth.
Seeing that the 'big fool' in front of him didn't understand what he meant, Da Sui got so anxious that he turned around and pulled him with even greater strength.
Unfortunately, this 'big fool' just let him push and was not moved at all. Helplessly, it had to press the man directly with its body weighing over 100 pounds.
Being suddenly pressed down by such a heavy weight, Zhou Nanxu's already weak body subconsciously took a breath and almost couldn't recover.
Are we going to punish him right after we dig him out?
However, when he calmed down, he finally understood the little guy's intention. He was trying to warm him up...
In addition to Dasui who was warming him up, the others were not idle either. Golden Retriever Bajiu stepped forward and bit open the cloth bag tied to Dasui with his teeth, took out a bottle, walked to Zhou Nanxu and put it down.
This time Zhou Nanxu quickly understood that this was asking him to drink water.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, and the moment the hot water touched his throat, he felt his body warm up a lot.
At this moment, he had only one feeling - it was great to be alive.
He had promised her that he would not break his promise, so how could he bear to leave her alone...
