Chapter 515: Chapter 509: Collapsed Chapter 515: Chapter 509: Collapsed It wasn’t until she had crawled out of the snow that she realized that it seemed to be a different sky here.
No, not the sky, it was still night, but there were no footprints here.
It definitely wasn’t the same place they had been when they arrived.
Suddenly, it seemed as though she saw something in front of her.
She hurried over to it, picked up a big flask from the ground.
It was the kinds that could be hung around your neck.
She placed the flask in front of her and moved her light closer to it.
...
On the flask, there was a small label, and the name “Yuxin” was written on it.
If she remembered correctly, one of the five people who had disappeared was named Yuxin.
She held the flask and once again crawled out of that small path.
On the other side Li Jia and Lin Yile were scared out of their wits, both huddled together, shivering from the cold.
Cold sweat soaked their clothes and the wind chill nearly froze them.
“Why hasn’t Yuxin come back?”
Lin Yile’s voice was trembling, on the verge of disappearing.
“I...
I don’t know...” Li Jia vocalized the same uncertainty, they both squatted together, their eyes fixated on that spot without blinking.
If another rock fell down from that spot, what they would do?
Would it kill Yuxin?
Oh, how scary.
Lin Yile was reduced to tears from the fright.
“If something happens to Yuxin, my dad will kill me.”
“Why would your dad...hit...you?”
Fortunately, Li Jia’s intelligence was still intact.
No parent would punish their own daughter for the mishap of another person’s child.
Right?
“I...
I...
I didn’t hold on to Yuxin, I could’ve, I just...” Lin Yile sobbed incessantly.
She felt useless for not being able to stop Tang Yuxin.
If something really happened to Tang Yuxin, her dad would definitely be disappointed in her and might end up hitting her.
Then her Little Qiqi would lose her mom.
“Don’t cry, if your tears freeze on your face, you might get frostbite,” Li Jia quickly consoled Lin Yile.
Lin Yile quickly wiped away her tears, truly too afraid to cry anymore.
What’s wrong, is there anything peculiar about this flask?”
“Yuxin is one of the five missing individuals.”
Tang Yuxin explained as she picked up her bag from the snow and cradled the medical kit in her arms.
“I am heading off to find them, do you want to go back first?”
“I am not going back.
I am going with you,” Lin Yile affirmed, clutching the medical kit in her arms.
However, as soon as she touched the kit, she felt a chill run through her.
It seemed like she could freeze to death.
“I am also going,” Li Jia asserted.
She couldn’t possibly head back alone now.
Going back meant having to brave the way back in unsafe conditions.
They had journeyed for so long in the snowfall that it likely hid their footprints.
Venturing insightlessly in a massive snowstorm at midnight could have a serious risk of getting lost or hurt.
Staying together seemed for the best.
“Let’s go,” Tang Yuxin cautiously led the way, warning her companions to keep close.
As she had been there before, she was more careful this time.
At least she was not prone to falling down and getting a mouthful of snow.
They all cautiously reached the other end, just like Tang Yuxin had observed earlier.
The snow in front of them had piled so high that they couldn’t see if there were any fresh footprints or anything else.
“Let’s go,” Tang Yuxin turned to glance at the chasm they had just traversed.
She then carefully proceeded forwards.
They left footprints in the snow.
Only a few minutes into their journey, a loud crash sounded from behind.
Turning around they saw a burst of flying snow.
It appeared to be another avalanche.

“I’ll go back and check,” Li Jia immediately went to investigate, careful not to stray too far from the others and risking the danger.
Moments later she returned.
“Yuxin, the path we just came from has caved in.”
At that moment, Li Jia was tightly clutching at her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently.
Whether it was from running too fast or fear was unknown.
The path they had carefully navigated only a short while back was subject to yet another avalanche.
If they had been just a few minutes late, they might have been buried under the snow.
