Chapter 514: Chapter 508: Can’t Wait Chapter 514: Chapter 508: Can’t Wait “Actually, I also feel that we should go,” Lin Yile clung to the medicine box in her arms, “Perhaps they are on the way now, perhaps a few minutes or even seconds could make a difference.
We might be able to save a life.”
Every day, countless possibilities can happen in this world, and we have to look for such possibilities.
Perhaps we will reach in time; perhaps they will need us just in time; perhaps we can just save a life in time.
“Let’s go,” Tang Yuxin didn’t say anything more.
She had already braved the wind and snow, moving forward.
In the dim light, they could roughly make out the footprints on the path.
They would walk southward, following these footprints.
She had heard from Gu Ning that they were in the due south, and they hadn’t returned yet.
Having just started their journey, they heard footsteps behind them.

When they turned back, they saw Li Jia, smiling rather kindly.
Li Jia was carrying two medical boxes in her hands.
“I’ve brought these,” Li Jia picked up the two medical boxes, and ran over to them, “I’ll go with you, some need to stay back as people are needed there.”

She didn’t clarify too much, but everyone knew the truth: not everyone wanted or dared to come.“Jiajia,” Lin Yile sniffled, “be careful on your way back.”
She then reached out to take the medical boxes from Li Jia.
But Li Jia avoided her hands, “What am I going back for?” she snorted, “I will go with you.
If both of you are going, why should I be left behind?
It’s freezing anywhere.”
“Let’s go,” finished saying, she walked onwards.
Tang Yuxin lifted the lantern in her hand a bit higher to clearly see the chaotic footprints ahead.
In the snow night with the snow continuing to fall, the three of them trudged through the snow without any intention of turning back.
“Yuxin, look.”
Lin Yile pointed ahead, the road was blocked.
Tang Yuxin raised the lantern in her hand; sure enough, the path ahead was blocked.
The accident must have occurred here.
“What do we do now?” Li Jia, shivering from the cold, with hands carrying the medical boxes, lost the sensation, she even doubted whether the boxes had frozen to her hands.
Indeed, what should they do?
They had already made it here, no knowing how long they had walked or how long they had been beaten by the wind.
They were nearly frozen to ice.
She mustered up the courage to come out; she wouldn’t go back empty-handed no matter what.
But now, they had nowhere to go, couldn’t they just stand here?
“You guys stand here, don’t move.”
Tang Yuxin put the lantern on the ground and went over.
She suddenly squatted down and started to dig the snow.
It was as if she had gone mad.
No matter what, she would not go back.
If she did not find anyone, she would never go back.
Perhaps they were buried underneath.
Maybe, if she kept digging, she could find them.
“Yuxin!” Lin Yile quickly threw the lantern aside, discarded the medical box she had been holding, and ran over to Tang Yuxin, hugging her.
“Yuxin, don’t do this, we can’t help it,” Lin Yile had already begun to cry as she said this.
Truly, they felt regret.
They had worked so hard, yet why couldn’t they get even a glimmer of hope?
Tang Yuxin continued to dig.
Her hands had long been frozen, numb to the touch, but she did not stop.
She refused to give up, she didn’t want to give up – not even a bit.
Giving up meant losing all hope.
“I don’t care anymore,” Li Jia also threw the two big medicine boxes aside and ran over to start digging the snow.
Lin Yile sniffled, then wiped her face with her sleeve, squatted on the side and started to dig the snow.
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded, and a large stone fell from beside them, which scared Li Jia and sent her sweating coldly.
She tapped her chest, let out a light breath, and then continued to dig.
Her hands were initially frozen to numbness, but now they were warming up, so they weren’t that cold.
Perhaps it was their luck, or maybe it was fate, while Li Jia was moving slowly while digging the snow, she accidentally moved to where the large stone had fallen earlier.
Suddenly, she felt her hand grab onto empty air.
She was stunned for a moment, then she turned her body to look and quickly started to dig the snow from the ground, she moved towards that direction.
“Yuxin, Lele, come over and see.”
Tang Yuxin quickly got up and ran over, and Lin Yile, who was closer, crawled over the snow without getting up.
The snow covered her down jacket.
“Look,” Li Jia pointed at the crack in the midst of the ice, just large enough to fit a person.
Tang Yuxin picked up the lantern from the ground and walked over.
She placed the lantern in front of the crack.
It really could let a person through.
Right next to it was the snow.
“I’ll go check it out first.”
With that, she took off her down jacket, fearing it was too bulky for her to fit.
The second she took off her jacket, she felt the biting cold getting to her bones.
“Yuxin…” Lin Yile reached out and grabbed Tang Yuxin’s hand, but she didn’t finish her sentence.
The decisions Tang Yuxin made rarely changed.
“Be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
Only then did Tang Yuxin pick up the lantern, carefully began to walk inside the crack, while Lin Yile and Li Jia moved over to the side without daring to move too much.
Tang Yuxin had told them not to move around randomly if she didn’t signal them and to stay as far as possible from there.
Tang Yuxin was carefully stepping forward, it was possible that the ice which had collapsed had created this path.
However, there was snow on the ground.
She carefully walked forward and slipped in the snow, falling onto the ground.
Fortunately, the ground was soft due to the snow.
She didn’t stand up impatiently but began to crawl forward.
She held the lantern in one hand, crawling carefully forward.
As she lifted the lantern, she could see the snowflakes, incessantly falling from above her head.
It seemed as if the snow had suddenly broken halfway, revealing a narrow gap, with her sandwiched in-between.
