"Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, please tell us. You've given us directions. We'll go find it."
When his comrades saw that Jiang Tiecheng was not speaking, they assumed that he was worried that the blizzard would endanger his life.
After all, everyone here knows that once a blizzard hits, getting lost in the snow is practically a death sentence.
These days, if the conditions aren't right, it's not just a matter of life and death.
Even if they are rescued, they are very likely to suffer from frostbite and permanent disability.
They understood Jiang Tiecheng's concerns as an ordinary citizen.
Jiang Tiecheng is not saying anything now, and everyone understands that!
After all, it is the soldiers' inescapable responsibility to carry out rescue operations, but Jiang Tiecheng has no reason to.
They never intended to morally blackmail Jiang Tiecheng.
Jiang Tiecheng racked his brains trying to figure out how to find clues.
To put it bluntly, this panel requires physical contact with the actual object.
He had no choice but to take a desperate gamble, and said...
"I need some items from those ten comrades, preferably things they used to carry with them, so that the calculations can be more accurate."
In no time, the belongings of ten people were laid out in front of them, a variety of things.
There are fountain pens, notebooks, military caps, lunch boxes, teacups, watches—everything imaginable.
Jiang Tiecheng looked at the old fountain pen, which must have been used so often by its owner that it was worn out.
Even the top of the pen cap was chipped.
As I held the pen, I indeed saw some information.
"Hero fountain pen!"
Service life of ten years.
The damage is severe.
The pen's owner, Qiao Dashan, will freeze to death in a ravine in the northeast corner of Qingshan Ranch within 24 hours.
"The old laptop is already more than half used."
The notebook's owner, Chen Zhiqiang, will freeze to death in the heavy snow 50km away in 18 hours.
Jiang Tiecheng was stunned. The owners of these two items died in different places.
Thankfully, I picked up both items and examined them; otherwise, it would have been easy to make a mistake.
He hurriedly picked up the other items and checked them again.
After quickly combining the information, it was discovered that the owners of three of these ten items had died in the same location as Chen Zhiqiang, about 50km away in the 9 o'clock direction.
The remaining seven people, like Qiao Dashan, died in that sheltered mountain hollow.
Combining the information, the conclusion is that they must have sent someone out to seek help.
However, although the three people who called for help may have found the right direction, they eventually froze to death 50km from their camp when they returned.
It was a complete failure.
Jiang Tiecheng immediately told Gu Tinghui the news he had received.
Gu Tinghui had already led his men to draw a circle on the map, 50km away at the nine o'clock direction.
The people in front of them were a little surprised when they heard the exact address.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Jiang Tiecheng, but rather that they had never encountered a modern person, someone who valued science, who actually wanted to use metaphysics to save someone.
But given the current situation, who can come up with a better solution?
Gu Tinghui looked at the route map that had been drawn.
"Xiao Jiang, are you confident?"
These people are scattered around now, so you'd better draw the locations of the cattle and sheep for us as well.
“Those are collective property. If we lose these cattle and sheep, no one in the military reclamation area will have meat next year.”
No wonder they attach so much importance to it; there's no way around it, the supply is very low right now.
Jiang Tiecheng was truly powerless at this point, as he couldn't possibly possess any actual cattle or sheep.
"How about this, I'll go with everyone and can calculate any errors that occur along the way."
"This will also save everyone from taking unnecessary detours."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiecheng immediately had an idea. He was willing to contribute if he could, since everyone in the state-owned farms was having a hard time these days.
All supplies are self-sufficient.
Two hundred cattle and sheep is a considerable number for their region.
Not to mention that 100 of these 200 cattle and sheep are breeding cattle.
Without these breeding cattle, the livestock farm will be completely finished next year.
This is a precious asset of the collective, which is why everyone is willing to risk their lives to save people and these cattle and sheep.
People in later generations probably don't understand that at that time, the lives of cattle and sheep were more precious than human lives.
“Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, I understand that you want to help everyone, but this time it is too dangerous, you can’t go.”
Gu Tinghui immediately refused, emphasizing that Jiang Tiecheng was more important than anyone else.
Gu Tinghui had never truly witnessed the power of his metaphysics!
However, he knew that Jiang Tiecheng was an expert in mine clearance, and such a talent could not be lost in a blizzard.
They can all sacrifice themselves, but Jiang Tiecheng cannot be allowed to sacrifice himself in vain.
"Commander Gu, let me go. We'll be more confident if I go."
Jiang Tiecheng made a very sincere request, stating that at this point it was not a matter of whether or not to act as a saint.
Even if others criticize him for being a pushover, he has to step forward, because it involves collective property and 13 lives.
He has never done anything bad in his past life or this life combined, nor has he ever harmed anyone.
He couldn't bring himself to be someone who would stand by and watch someone die.
Besides, if I were there, I would have some confidence.
"No, you can't go."
Gu Tinghui firmly disagreed, and Jiang Tiecheng, enraged, stomped his foot.
"Alright, Commander Gu. If you won't let anyone take me with them, then I'll go by myself."
The company commanders standing nearby were getting anxious.
"Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, this is no joke. This mission is extremely dangerous."
Even we can't guarantee we'll come back safely, let alone you.
Don't be ridiculous.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, we all understand that you are thinking of everyone and the collective, but at this time we cannot fail to put your safety first."
"If I go with you, the safety level will be higher if there are more people together on the way back."
If you really disagree, then I'll just have to sneak away by myself in a little while.
Jiang Tiecheng turned around and left immediately.
Gu Tinghui was so angry his nose almost crooked. This kid was so stubborn, he wouldn't listen to anything he was told.
"stop!"
"Okay, okay, you can set off with the rescue team, but you must follow everyone's instructions."
Gu Tinghui was helpless. If Jiang Tiecheng sneaked into the blizzard alone, where would he find him?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiecheng turned his head and smiled.
"Commander Gu, don't worry, I promise to follow orders and never act recklessly."
Gu Tinghui cursed inwardly, "I don't believe you for a second."
Summon Company Commander Wu, who has accepted the mission.
He whispered his instructions.
"You'd better keep a close eye on him for me."
"You must ensure that all of Iron City's Americans are returned to me, or I will court-martial Jiang."
