Subordinate Doting - Chap 92
There was no way the two of them could dig through such a thick layer of snow on their own, and their cell phone was lost when they were buried. They couldn’t contact the rescue team and the base, so they had to go back immediately to call for help.
-
It took them only five minutes to fly back to base.
Sha Moqing put him down and rushed to the rescue station without stopping, while Ji Tingyu staggered towards the lifeboat like an ice sculpture.
The heavy door opened, and the dusty team members turned to look at him like a nest of sparrows waiting for their mother, hoping that he would bring some good news.
But Ji Tingyu said: “The clouds are broken and the mountain has collapsed.”
Many emotions flashed across the team members’ faces – shock, panic, grief, and then helplessness. They stood up reflexively, some putting on clothes, some taking equipment, their movements were numb but fast.
There was no need for any orders. They had been stationed in Nivelle for seven years and had long regarded the residents here as their compatriots. Rescuing people had become their instinct.
He was so scared when his own life was threatened, but he didn’t even blink when it came to saving other people’s lives.
Therefore, Ji Tingyu was always unwilling to believe that there were spies in his team, even though some of these people were timid, some were cowardly, some were fame-seeking, and some were harboring evildoers, but they were all equally firm and fearless in the face of life.
We cannot drive in the current situation because the road has been washed away by the accumulated snow. The snow is high and loose, and it will cover the car in a minute. The batch of war horses will come in handy.
Ji Tingyu arranged those who were good at horse riding to ride horses, and the rest of the people and equipment took carriages along the path trampled by horses’ hooves.
Everyone wore deerskin riding clothes and high boots – these were special equipment for snow disaster rescue, they would not get wet, could keep out wind and cold, and most importantly, could protect the feet.
In the past, people’s feet often froze to the point of losing feeling while rescuing people in the snow. By the time they realized it, the bones were already necrotic and had to be amputated.
The equipment is still being loaded, the cavalry is going ahead.
A little O called Ji Tingyu and asked him if he had seen the Gran family at the foot of Yunduan Mountain. The hostess of that family was her good friend and had invited her to attend her child’s third birthday party yesterday.
”Does the child wear bells on his feet?”
The girl nodded her head as she heard it: “Yes, yes, yes! That’s it——”
What is it? She didn’t finish her words, because she realized that since she had seen the child, why didn’t she bring him back?
Because it can’t be brought back.
The girl blinked and was stunned.
Ji Tingyu turned his head and patted her shoulder: “There is no time to mourn for the deceased. Gran and those fifty-odd people are waiting for us.”
After he finished speaking, he strode to the front of the team, led a large yellow horse, climbed on, and the hem of his riding suit swept half a circle in the wind and snow.
The warhorse raised its front hooves, pointed its head toward the sky and roared with a long hiss. Ji Tingyu grabbed the reins and whipped it: “Go!”
The yellow horse rushed out, and more than twenty tall horses behind it followed like a volley of arrows, galloping at full speed, splashing snow and mud along the way.
Even though they deliberately took the shortcut, it still took them seven or eight minutes, leaving only a quarter of an hour before the best rescue period.
When they were 200 meters away from Yunduan Mountain, three ox carts suddenly rushed over from the other side of the mountain. The first two were carrying a dozen people, all dressed as hunters. The last one was covered with tarpaulin, and it was unknown what was on it.
Ji Tingyu saw that they looked unfamiliar and pulled the reins to stop his horse.
”Who?”
A square-faced alpha said, “We heard an avalanche ahead.” He raised the shovel in his hand.
Ji Tingyu’s face brightened up: “We are also going to help with disaster relief, let’s go!”
One more person means one more help, so he will naturally accept everyone who comes.
Unexpectedly, Square Face A’s expression changed instantly after hearing this, “You are not allowed to go!”
Ji Tingyu and his teammates were all stunned.
”Why can’t I go? What do you mean?” Meng Fan pointed at him with a small shovel.
Square-faced A brought his men to block them. “No one is allowed to go. This is what they deserve! The avalanche is a punishment from heaven. God is punishing them. No one can go against God’s will!”
”Ah? God, God’s punishment?” The team member’s mind was confused. He was angry and speechless. He wondered if he was hallucinating.
Ji Tingyu’s face darkened and he spat out two words: “Bullshit!”
There were only a dozen minutes left, and there was no way she could waste time on these fools. Rosalin swung out her python tail and stood it straight up: “If you don’t want to save us, get out of here, and don’t delay us from saving people!”
However, they didn’t expect that the gang was not afraid at all and even raised shovels to attack them.
Ji Tingyu looked at it coldly and saw a toe exposed under the tarpaulin of the third ox cart, with a gap on the toe that had been bitten off by a wild beast.
He narrowed his eyes and said, “Why are you holding a shovel if you are not going to save people?”
Square Face A: “If anyone dares to escape against God’s will, we will execute him on the spot just like we did just now!”
The team members were frightened when they heard this, and a terrible thought flashed through their minds.
They followed Ji Tingyu’s gaze to the third ox cart, then turned to look at the foot of Yunduan Mountain. A large area of the originally intact snow layer had been dug up, and it was self-evident what was piled high in the ox cart.
They killed those who had managed to escape.
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
Ji Tingyu stared at Fang Lian A expressionlessly. There was no trace of emotion on his gloomy face, as if he was looking at a dead person.
”Who gave you the right to execute him on the spot? William?”
Square-faced A’s pupils shrank, and a few seconds later he laughed without restraint, blood oozing from his white teeth, as if he had just eaten a human: “Just because I’m the high priest! They are the tribute chosen by God to sacrifice to the mountain god–”
”Then I’ll sacrifice you first!”
Without waiting for him to finish, Ji Tingyu jumped on the saddle, rushed straight in front of him, drew out his dagger and struck him fiercely, the tip of the knife instantly pierced through his throat!
Square-faced A died before he could react. A column of hot blood spurted out and splashed onto Ji Tingyu’s cold jaw, forming a beautiful blood flower.
The hunter behind him was so frightened that he ran towards him shouting.
