It was too cold. If it weren't for this, even though the roads were difficult, Qin Zhao could have searched alone, pointing the way for everyone and greatly reducing the difficulty of finding people.
But now, even though Qin Zhao can move, he has very little time to move around.
"Since we've decided to save them, the sooner the better."
Chi Xia said, "The sooner we set off, the greater our chances. Mengmeng and Xiaohui can still be of use. If we wait any longer, the snow will cover up all the smells and traces, and it will be even later."
Han Junche nodded and turned to Aunt Qiu, saying, "Gather all level six and above fire and wind ability users at the base in the square, and select two level six mental and recovery ability users. Tell them to bring their luggage and assemble."
Qiu Qin nodded, then got up and went to the broadcasting room to make the announcement.
Han Junche then said to the person in charge of supplies, "Go and prepare the things needed for this trip. Distribute the supplies in two hours."
The person in charge of supplies responded, quickly stood up, and jogged out the door.
Han Junche rolled up the map and put it away, then said to Chi Xia and the others, "Let's go pack our things too."
Chi Xia and Lin Yi got up and hurried out the door. As Han Junche walked, he said to Chi Xia, "Although there is no great danger in this search, it is very difficult. Zhang Xin and the others will not be going."
Chi Xia nodded in understanding.
Although Zhang Xin's psychic abilities reached level six, making her a suitable candidate, she was still a woman with limited physical strength. Moreover, this time, her psychic abilities were needed to find people, which was extremely taxing. Han Junche was also considering Zhang Xin's situation.
This can be considered a form of preferential treatment.
They went back to pack their luggage. In the dead of winter, the luggage took up a lot of space. After packing her own luggage, Chi Xia ran next door and packed Han Junche and the others' luggage into her space.
This time, Han Junche only brought Xu Fan, Lin Yi, Wang Dalong, Wang Erlong, and Qin Zhao. Because they needed to find someone and needed to march quickly, he did not bring the chef Li Han and the food supplier Jerry, who were usually indispensable.
However, considering Mengmeng and Xiaohui's meals, Jerry still prepared a lot of meat and had Chixia put it in her space.
After tidying up, the group went to the square.
People gradually arrived, including those with wind and fire abilities, all above level six. There were more than forty people in the base, but Han Junche only selected twenty in the end, plus two people with mental abilities and two with restorative abilities, to form a rescue team.
The group of people in charge of managing the supplies huffed and puffed as they dragged out a pile of supplies, neatly packed them up, and loaded them onto the vehicle. The group then set off in a grand procession.
A total of ten vehicles were deployed this time. Eight of them were powerful off-road vehicles, and the other two were pickup trucks used for rescue. The vehicles were fitted with snow tires and snow chains. Even so, for safety reasons, they did not drive fast.
The snow continued to fall, and gradually the wind picked up.
Chi Xia sat in the passenger seat, watching the windshield wipers slide across the windshield, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
When we went out, the snow was less than half a meter deep, and although driving was difficult, it went relatively smoothly. But by evening, the snow on the road had exceeded half a meter, making it difficult for the car to move forward. Moreover, because everything was covered in white snow, the road was completely indistinguishable.
At this point, they had only driven less than 100 kilometers.
Left with no other choice, Han Junche stopped the convoy and the group came out to discuss countermeasures.
The wind was getting stronger and stinging her face, so Han Junche stepped aside and stood in front of Chi Xia to shield her from the wind and snow.
Everyone in the team was wrapped up tightly in their clothes, stamping their feet from the cold: "Captain Han, the snow is too deep, we can't even walk..."
