Chapter Thirty-Three: Snow Lotus's Tears

  Kunlun Snow Region 5380, 5390 meters, another half hour passed, Zhang Yu carried Bai Yalan and continued to move forward in danger; the dripping sweat soaked into the icy cold rock, melting a large piece...

  This time Zhang Yu didn't give Bai Yalan any chance to slip away, it was a man's promise, the part of his right fist from knuckles to wrist had already turned completely purple...

  Although Zhang Yu was very tired, his spirit was good. Just as he had just broken through the limits of his physical strength, an unprecedented clarity appeared in his mind, and the scene that was interrupted by Han Wei on that day reappeared before his eyes.

  He can not only feel any environmental changes around him within a hundred meters or so, even if it is a plateau viper lurking underground at a depth of nearly one meter. To be inaccurate, it should not be called perception. If it were just perception, it would not be possible to clearly "see" the motionless body of that plateau viper;

  Zhang Yu didn't feel particularly surprised in his heart, but instead began to slowly get used to the feeling that everything was under his control... Calmly accepting the strange changes from within his body, Zhang Yu, whose spirit was at its peak, seemed to have forgotten about his body's overloading operation...

  Zhang Yu's special ability is almost the same as Li Duo Sheng's from a superficial perspective, but there are still great differences between them. Zhang Yu's perception also has infrared imaging capabilities... Is this good luck or bad luck? If used to perceive ladies...?

  ……

  Just as Zhang Yu closed his eyes and carried Bai Yalan, indulging in the feeling that everything was under control, a commotion broke out on the mountain...

  Director Chi frowned slightly as he looked at Bai Zhengjun pacing back and forth, speaking out to comfort him: "Old Bai, don't worry, we have to believe in Zhang Yu, I've already had Little Li and the others go to meet them, they should be back soon..."

  "Hmm..." The white chief of staff hummed a response, but continued pacing back and forth.

  Sun Gangjian, who was cooking, occasionally looked up at the sky that was getting darker and darker...

  That group of academicians and experts were also discussing Zhang Yu and Bai Yalan...

  Li Duo Sheng and Han Wei came up without resting and started tidying up their accommodation, occasionally chatting: "That little fish guy should be fine, right..."

  But the old bird, Huang Zhong and Zhao Si Hai had already run to the Extreme Stone to wait. It wasn't that Zhao Si Hai was unwilling to directly go down the mountain, but rather Li Duo Sheng always had a not-too-good feeling surrounding himself, letting Four Seas be prepared at all times...

  "Will that Zhang Yu bring White Officer down again?! It's almost dark, why haven't they come up yet?!" Huang Zhong asked Zhao Si Hai while standing on the Extreme Stone; after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to glance at the stretcher specially made for his feet, which was used to carry that Zhang Yu kid back then.

  "It shouldn't be, we're not familiar with Xiao Yu's personality yet, since he dared to promise Director Chi, he must be able to come back, let's wait and see... if they still haven't arrived after another half an hour, you go back, I'll go down the mountain..."

  "Just around the bend is the Extreme Stone, and the voices of Huang Zhong and Zhao Sihai came from beside my ear. No doubt my comrades still believe in me"... Zhang Yu, who had just closed his eyes to turn the corner, curled up the corners of his mouth into a perfect arc. This woman on his back was truly his lucky star... The third special ability: "Domain Perception" has been initially mastered. Together with the first special ability: "Imperial Pressure" and the second special ability: "Mind Control", which were difficult to obtain from "Abu", this trip down the mountain is indeed a bountiful harvest!"

  If you add this woman on your back... then!! "Hehe", Zhang Yu emitted a lewd laugh!!

  "Little fish, are you okay? Don't scare me..." Bai Yalan, who had already placed her heart and soul on Zhang Yu, asked hastily upon hearing his somewhat off-putting laughter. Along the way, all the bitter and sweet memories surged up in her mind, but now she just wanted to give this man, who was both overbearing and gentle, a little something. The only thing she could do was to hand everything over to him, merge with him as one, so as to alleviate his burden...

  "Dead Sea"... Zhang Yu turned the corner and shouted, but still didn't put Bai Yalan down from his back, because he knew that if he made a slightly larger movement, what awaited them would be cold hard rocks, or perhaps this posture had already become habitual for Zhang Yu...

  "It's just the voice of a small fish"... This is really a white face, and the white face is coming. He can run faster than Cao Cao... The old beast Huang Zhong rarely speaks in such a tone;

  "Four Seas, you little scamp, slow down and hold onto Little Fish first..." ...Huang Zhong spoke while Zhao Four Seas had already run off, 50 meters was nothing to him, but Huang Zhong still feared that this kid would get into trouble, although he knew some unknown things, after all, everyone's age was about the same, who knows if this guy's experience was richer than his own?

  However, after Huang Zhong's reminder, Zhao Sihai slowed down his hand that was helping Xiaoyu to pull down Bai Jiaoguan.

  Huang Zhong also fell back a step, fortunately shouting in time, "If you help Bai first, I guarantee that both of them will fall to the ground. Of course, if you're willing to do that... then I have nothing to say."

  "Hmm, it seems you've thought this through"... Zhao Si Hai carefully took the armed belt that connected the two from Xiao Yu's back and handed over Bai Jing to him as Huang Zhong stabilized Xiao Yu.

  "Don't mind me for now, see if the little fish is okay"...... Bai Yalan seemed unwilling to leave Zhang Yu's back, or perhaps didn't want to be supported by Zhao Sihai in this way, so she hastily said:

  "Hehe, don't worry, Officer Bai. This little guy is just pretending to be weak. He'll be fine after a rest." Huang Zhong saw through Bai Yalan's thoughts;

  "But he already"...... Bai Yalan was still worried and wanted to go support Xiaoyu, but she stumbled and almost fell if it wasn't for Zhao Sihai catching her!

  "Hey, little fish, if you're not dead, make a sound. Don't pretend to be pitiful here, can't you see that Officer Bai's heart is almost broken?" Dead Sea teased intentionally;

  Bai Taigong seemed to have accepted Zhao Sihai's words without refuting them, and instead cast his gaze towards the young boy who had carried him for nearly ten kilometers on the plateau...

  "Alas, after waiting for so long for the two of them, why does it feel like they're not even speaking human language?" Little Fish let out a sigh.

  "Fooled by you for the fourth time... I've been fooled by you for the fourth time, damn it!" ... Si Hai pushed Xiao Yu'er's chest forward with all his might!

  "Wait..." Bai Yalan hastily pushed Zhao Sihai towards Xiaoyu's hand and grasped it...

  "Haha, little fish, you're not bad at all! And with our beautiful instructor backing you up, no wonder your mouth has gotten bolder!" Zhao Sihai's big mouth split open;

  "Uh"...... Zhang Yu did not expect Bai Yalan would do this either...

  "Haha, little fish, this time I won't be able to help you either!" Huang Zhong also chuckled...

  Bai Yalan's face turned red as Zhao Sihai supported her by the arm, because of his teasing words, which seemed to have hit a sore spot for some people.

  With the response, things got a lot easier afterwards. However, there were still nearly 100 meters of elevation to climb, so by the time we reached the midpoint of Pitang, it was already completely dark...

  Bai Yalan was carried by Zhao Sihai and Huang Zhong, with her head resting on her small bag. Although she had recovered a lot spiritually, her foot still couldn't continue walking. But if they were to carry her all the way back to the squad... Ah... but she didn't know how to bring it up...

  Zhang Yu, who had been following behind, was testing his new special ability while walking. When he sensed Bai Yalan's body, he discovered her unusual movement. The two of them seemed to have exchanged a knowing glance!

  "That 'Dead Sea'"... Zhang Yu called out:

  "I'd rather fart and live, I'll change my name when I get back!" Zhao Si Hai panted, after all, he couldn't use his special abilities, relying solely on his physical body was quite tiring, otherwise the little fish wouldn't have been bullied to that extent...

  "I think I'll let Bai down now, we don't need to climb anymore and the squadron isn't far away, she should be able to walk there herself"… Zhang Yu said:

  After all, Zhang Yu had already thought about the problem from Bai Yalan's perspective, and Bai Yalan's expression of wanting to say something but being too embarrassed to speak was right before his eyes!

  "Consider yourself lucky, and from now on, think about bullying me a little less!" But Bai Yalan herself wasn't even clear who was bullying whom.

  "That's right, little fish said it was right, and I really am a bit... Huang Zhong is more capable than Zhao Sihai, this four-limbed fellow..."

  "Oh, okay then!" The four seas also seemed to have understood something!

  "General Bai, how's your leg? You have to walk the rest of the way yourself!" Zhang Yu went over to support General Bai when Zhang He and Huang Zhong were lowering the stretcher, as if he thought it was his duty to do so. If it had been the other way around, Zhang Yu would have felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart - could this be "familiarity breeds affection"?

  It was Zhang Yu who came to support her, and Bai also let out a sigh of relief. She didn't say she wasn't willing to be supported by the other two, but subconsciously, she had already set her heart on Zhang Yu... and it seemed like her body was also particularly willing to lean towards him...

  "Four seas, let's go back to our team first," said Huang Zhong.

  "This guy looks quite honest, didn't expect him to be so sharp-tongued"; Bai Yalan thought to herself, what's going on, why are they leaving and I'm actually happy about it?

  Could it be...? Bai Yalan glanced at Zhang Yu, who was supporting her, with the corner of her eye.

  "What about them? They still... hadn't finished speaking"...... Before he could finish, Huang Zhong directly pulled him away...

  "This...that"......, The four seas have not reacted yet!

  "Come on, don't be a light bulb there anymore"... said Huang Zhong;

  "What light bulb? We don't have any light bulbs here"...... Si Hai gives a sly smile, and from an angle that Bai Yalan can't see, gives Zhang Yu a knowing glance...

  "My grass, it turns out that the real master is Si Hai"...... However, I like this kid, Zhang Yu smiled slyly!!

  "Alright, you stay behind, but I think you're stealing the credit for catching the small fish"... Huang Zhong had no choice but to grab Si Hai's weak point...

  Zhao Si Hai saw there was a staircase below and hastily took a leap to escape!!

  Alas, poor Huang Zhong...

  The conversation between the two was clearly transmitted into Zhang Yu and Bai's ears.

  "Hey, Officer Bai, don't listen to these two kids' nonsense. This is just our usual joking around in the Dragon's Den squad... Don't take it to heart," Zhang Yu said with a smile, but this could also deepen the impression...

  "Let's go"... Bai Yalan pretended she hadn't heard anything, what was this guy explaining anyway...

  Although it's only a short distance of 100 meters, for Bai Yalan it feels like an eternity, if she can keep walking like this, I believe Bai Yalan won't mind, at least the sweetness in her heart has replaced the pain under her feet.

  Believe it or not, Bai Yalan, who was replaced by Zhao Sihai, would still insist on walking on her own and didn't need anyone to support her...

  ……

  "How's Lanlan? Is she alright?" The chief of staff, who was wearing a thick military coat, quickly walked out and supported his own temples from the other side. From his deeply furrowed brow, it could be seen that this old general was very concerned about his only daughter.

  "Dad, I'm fine, look at you worrying"...... On one side was her beloved father, on the other side was that person - sigh, anyway it's a relationship she couldn't quite figure out, but if he wasn't by her side, Bai Yalan felt an empty and hollow feeling, and no matter how tired or painful it was, it was all worth it...
