Chapter 284: Met Again
Lu Yi quickly said: "Although the snowstorm is severe, if my hearing serves me correctly, that sounded like gunshots." As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, a second gunshot went off, immediately followed by a third, creating an intense atmosphere.
Out of concern, Xu Haowen said: "It seems like Ning Qi and others are in trouble, shouldn’t we go and help?"
However, Ouyang Jin shook his head: "The snowstorm is so intense, and we don’t know where the gunshots came from. The most important thing right now is to reach the next cabin before it gets dark. Otherwise, mobility will be even more challenging at night, and our danger will increase."
"Alright, it seems they can only depend on themselves for safety. However, they have several hunting guns, so they should be fine." After saying this, Gu Fan instructed the team to keep moving forward without stopping, even if they had to slow down.
Zhuo Hang was a little worried. He ran to old man Tian and asked, "Elder, the snowstorm is so severe. Are we sure we won’t lose our way?"
"Don’t worry, I have been wandering in these woods since I was young, and I am familiar with every correct route. Just stick close to me," old man Tian affirmed in a calm and confident tone, boosting the team’s morale. It felt like they had found the right guide.
After walking for a while longer, the snowstorm showed no signs of letting up. The freezing weather made it hard to breathe, and the icy wind roared and lashed out, as if ready to tear everyone apart.
Towards the end, not only Xu Haowen, who was the weakest, but also Jie and Lu Yi were struggling to stay upright in the face of the snowstorm. Xu Haowen ended up crawling, which was a worrisome sight.
Old man Tian also slowed down, with age finally taking a toll on his strength. Seeing blinding snow all around him, it seemed all ways to safety were shrouded in the white chaos.
