  It was as if an extremely long time had passed when Su Yang was finally pulled back into the middle of the team by Xi Za and the warriors. Everyone saw that the snow on the road ahead had been swept away by a sideways gust of wind. Even though new snow would fall at any moment, it would soon be blown aside.

  "Coach, are you okay?!"

  "It's all right, Zhasi, you've done a great job. Keep it up in the future and make new achievements on the battlefield."

  Su Yang didn't say anything extra to Zha Si, at this time, a simple thank you was not as effective as enthusiastic encouragement. Their own battle had not yet ended, in order to protect the lives of all the soldiers, they must safely escort the transport unit's vehicles up the mountain.

  "Yes, instructor, I will try my best."

  He clenched his fists and pounded them against his chest, although Zha Xi was just a new recruit who had been in the army for less than half a year, he didn't want to lose to anyone.

  Although his own strength and power are great, there are still many shortcomings in the speed of marching. Today, he can turn his disadvantage into an advantage, and Zaxi's excitement is even more exciting than saving Su Yang's life.

  Because the current wind direction is not suitable for the border defense soldiers to continue advancing, Su Yang starts calling them to tie each other's waists with mountaineering ropes, and he himself uses a walkie-talkie to contact Squad Leader Chen Ke.

  "Hello, hello... I'm Xiao Yang, I'm Xiao Yang, please respond, over."

  "Guide Xiao! I'm Snow Mountain Guide Kaba, Chen is driving the snowmobile ahead of you on the road, what's going on over there?"

  Sitting on the back seat of Chen Ke's snowmobile, Kabba connected to Xiao Yang's communication. As for the situation and deployment of x392 sentry post, he had already heard from Chen Ke, basically no big problem. But for Xiao Yang's sudden contact, he still had some worries.

  "Kaba? Alright, you're the guide for Snow Mountain, that's good. We don't have any major problems now, but when we arrived at Eagle Mouth, the blizzard has started to show signs of reversing winds, especially at the turning point, the wind direction is blowing directly outwards from the road, and the roads are starting to freeze. But because of the heavy snowstorm, the accumulated snow on the road will be blown away quickly, it looks a bit complicated, you guys need to be careful too."

  Hearing that it was Kabar using Chen Ke's walkie-talkie to communicate with himself, Xiao Yang felt much more at ease. This meant that Chen Ke and the others had already received the transportation unit's vehicles and were rushing up the mountain.

  Although he felt relieved, Xiao Yang still reminded Kabar to pay attention to the wind direction. As for the danger he had just encountered, he didn't want to mention it and affect Kabar's confidence in advancing.

  "Alright, I understand. You'd better proceed along the mountain slope, don't worry about the snow and ice on those treacherous sections for now. What's important is to leave observation posts at some sections with drastic wind direction changes, then assist us in advancing along the way. As for your team, go down as far as you can. But be careful, don't get arrogant due to experience, just pretend it's your first time arriving at x392 outpost."

  From Xiao Yang's voice, Ka Ba could hear a slight urgency, it seemed that when they encountered the headwind, they also encountered some situation, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious to contact.

  However, even if Kabar guessed that the other party might have encountered danger, he didn't go to ask what situation they had encountered. If they themselves didn't say it out in the first place, then the danger has already been ruled out, and asking them again would only make them feel that you lack trust in them.

  To properly understand the situation and make suitable arrangements, this is the responsibility that a mountain guide should fulfill. As for other things, apart from listening to heaven's will, what's most important is mutual trust.

  No one can conquer the blizzard alone, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to overcome it. This is Kaba's self-awareness as a mountain guide.

  "Comrades, the train has successfully received the cars from the transportation unit."

  "Oh! Long live the queue!"

  Whether or not they had heard Xiao Yang and Ka Ba's conversation, the warriors immediately cheered when they heard this news.

  After the twists and turns just now, all warriors have realized the importance of life. In this situation, being able to hear the news that reinforcements have arrived is also the most morale-boosting thing. As for exaggerated cheers like "Long live", Xiao Yang wouldn't mind too much about it either.

  Because the situation has changed, Xiao Yang also knows that the border defense team can no longer hold its ground in a certain section to welcome the arrival of the transportation company's vehicles. As Kaba said, their most important task now is to help the transportation company's vehicles understand the changes in wind direction along the way in advance.

  So after reorganizing the remaining warriors, five warriors were left to guard Eagle's Mouth, monitoring the changes in the direction of the blizzard. Xiao Yang led the other warriors, supporting each other on the mountain, accelerating their advance down the mountain.

  Perhaps when Xiao Yang and his team focused on safety, their progress was slower. But when they abandoned their lucky mentality and concentrated on moving forward with the support of the mountain, their speed actually increased.

  "Coach! It seems like something's wrong!"

  Although Zha Xi was just a new recruit, he was also a plateau man. If it was to rely on physical strength to move forward while leaning against the mountain body, his speed would not be lower than others. Not only can he closely follow behind Xiao Yang, but with his broad physique, he can even take an early step to discover the subtle changes in wind direction.

  It's not the first time they've encountered a sudden change in wind direction, and even Xiao Yang, the leader of the border defense team, and Zhasi, the new recruit, are starting to get worried. Although they can walk on the mountain road without any problem, how can the transportation unit's heavy trucks like this pass through such a road, Zhasi simply dare not imagine.

  "Zhasi, don't worry, we have to trust the Snow Mountain guides and the transportation team's ability. They will definitely complete their task, and our task is to provide them with as much help as possible."

  This is not just Su Yang comforting Zha Xi, but also a situation they must face.

  Similar situations of headwind, Xiao Yang had encountered at the x392 checkpoint before, but it was never the case that there were heavy trucks trying to go up the mountain in such a situation.

  Treading on the thick snow along the mountain edge, only one border guard soldier, Zha Xi, was left to grope his way down the mountain, while most of the soldiers were left on the short mountain road to monitor the movement of the blizzard, this is the difficult situation that Xiao Yang must face.
