Chapter 303 Separate Actions
Lin Miaomiao smiled, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, but her hand tapped Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead in a dishonest manner.
"You, which shelter leader is as spoiled as you?"
Leaning over and hugging Lin Xiaoxiao, her voice was full of joy: "But what you said is not comprehensive enough. I am your hero, and you are the hero of the entire shelter. I heard others talk about how you led the people to fight before."
"There are no heroes. They are just struggling to survive in the apocalypse."
Lin Xiaoxiao was still arranging the internal affairs of the shelter. Here, the team led by Qian Baoyu and Ling Hao had been marching in the heavy snow for two hours. In two hours, they had only walked two kilometers. It would take at least three hours to reach the place where they had discovered traces of human life.
Looking at the vast white world in the distance, Ling Hao frowned and said, "Let the team members prepare some equipment for the night while we are on the move. I'm afraid we won't be able to get back tonight."
Qian Baoyu pulled off the mask that was covered with a thick layer of frost, took a deep breath of cold air and started coughing violently, which made him unable to utter a word.
After taking a sip of the hot water handed to him by his teammate, he finally came to his senses and exhaled a puff of white mist.
"How about we set up camp here, with the main force staying here, while our elite team continues to move forward?"
After the long journey, Qian Baoyu felt that it was too troublesome to take a group of people to such a far place. He did not dare to let such a group of young children camp in the wild late at night.
They are still safe at this distance now. If they go further, it will become more and more dangerous. He cannot guarantee the safety of his team members.
He thought his suggestion was very pertinent, but the next moment Ling Hao shook his head: "No, it's best not to split the team up. It's too dangerous to act separately in the wild."
Even through the layers of wind and snow, Ling Hao could still feel the danger lurking in the dark. He didn't think it was much safer here, so the best way was to go together.
The most important thing is that in order to make the trip smoother, they did not bring too many people. Everyone in the team has his or her own job and position. If one person is missing, they will be easily defeated if they encounter an unexpected situation.
Knowing that Ling Hao was someone Lin Xiaoxiao valued, Qian Baoyu nodded and acquiesced to this approach. Then he proposed another idea: "Why don't we go two kilometers forward and set up camp directly, spend the dangerous night together, and then continue exploring tomorrow?"
The wind and snow grew stronger, and Qian Baoyu quickly put on his mask again, but his eyes were still fixed on Ling Hao, waiting for his response.
"No, we'd better get there before tonight."
The wind was howling, Qian Baoyu almost thought he had heard it wrong, so he moved closer and asked, "Are you asking us to leave overnight?!"
It's no wonder that he was angry. Although he didn't have much contact with these team members, they had fought together after all. He could never have imagined that Ling Hao would decide to travel overnight without caring about the lives of his team members.
The wilderness at night was too dangerous, and he didn't think that his group had the ability to fight and win against the mutated animals and plants in the dark.
Ling Hao did not show any emotion because of Qian Baoyu's questioning. He just repeated his decision: "We must rush to the place where human traces were found before tonight."
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, players on both sides couldn't help but look at the two of them, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Seeing that Qian Baoyu disagreed with his decision, Ling Hao was about to explain when he unexpectedly turned around and gave an order: "Everyone in Team One, follow me. We will set up camp and rest in two kilometers."
Without caring about Ling Hao and the people from Team 2, Qian Baoyu led his team and left directly, disappearing in the wind and snow in a short while.
Seeing the sky gradually darken, Ling Hao could only helplessly give orders: "Everyone keep up, use the water power to freeze the snow layer and create an ice surface, and use the wind power to help everyone travel quickly. We must reach our destination before dark."
Thanks to Ling Hao's understanding and skillful use of superpowers, it didn't take them long to overtake the first team and continue on their way.
"We have to reach our destination before dark. Give me the child who found the traces of human life. I want to take him with me."
When passing by a team, Ling Hao did not forget to take the boy who was leading the way with him, but was rejected by Qian Baoyu the next moment.
"No way, I won't allow you to take them on this adventure."
Qian Baoyu almost roared in the wind and snow, but the next second the boy was caught by Ling Hao using his supernatural power.
"Captain Qian, your team will be responsible for supporting the team from the outside. We are leaving first."
After saying this, Ling Hao turned around and left with Team 2, which made Qian Baoyu furious.
"I will tell Lin Xiaoxiao about your evil deeds when I get back!"
The second team's action was not very smooth. After walking three kilometers, they were attacked by mutant plants. In the snow and wind, the big trees covered with icicles were waving their branches like giants. The hard branches were like sharp swords that could cut human skin in an instant.
Even though Ling Hao reacted in time, two members of the team were still injured. The bright red blood looked particularly enchanting against the white snow.
After helping them stop the bleeding, Ling Hao frowned and said, "Let's leave here quickly. The smell of blood is likely to attract mutant animals."
The team members continued to move forward obediently, but this time everyone was surprisingly silent, with only the snow under their feet making a constant squeaking sound.
Another kilometer later, they encountered a pack of mutant wolves. One of the team members was seriously injured, and his blood dyed a large area of snow red. The biting cold wind made it almost impossible for people to stand.
When Ling Hao gave the order to prepare to move forward, two people in the team did not move. The one who spoke was a fifteen-year-old boy. He pulled off his mask to reveal his red cheeks from the cold.
"Captain, please let me take my friend to find Team Two. He's injured so badly that he may not be able to continue walking."
Behind him was the pale-faced fourteen-year-old boy. At this moment, he just lowered his head and said nothing, not even daring to look Ling Hao in the eye.
Ling Hao interrupted the boy's plea, his voice soaked by the wind and snow without any warmth: "No, you will die faster if you stay. We will carry the wounded away."
As if she had heard Ling Hao's words, a girl who was bandaging the wound immediately stood up and said, "Let me carry you. I'm a power-type awakener."
"Okay, let's move on quickly."
The boy wanted to continue begging for mercy, but his injured friend had already been carried on the back of the girl, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and was running forward quickly.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the members of Team 2 were almost walking on the snow. The long period of low temperature had made them lose their strength.
Taking out a few pieces of dried meat from his pocket and stuffing them into the mouths of each team member, Ling Hao said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone hold on a little longer, we will set up camp directly after 300 meters."
Chewing the slightly spicy dried meat, the members of Team 2, who had originally lost their strength, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. They couldn't understand why and just kept running forward.
They fell down, were knocked over by the wind and snow, and were almost unable to stand due to hypothermia. Every step forward drained away their strength.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Hao's hoarse voice finally rang out again: "We're here, everyone, set up camp."
