Chapter 515
Chapter 515: Chapter 509: Collapsed Chapter 515: Chapter 509: Collapsed It wasn’t until she had crawled out of the snow that she realized that it seemed to be a different sky here.
No, not the sky, it was still night, but there were no footprints here.
It definitely wasn’t the same place they had been when they arrived.
Suddenly, it seemed as though she saw something in front of her.
She hurried over to it, picked up a big flask from the ground.
It was the kinds that could be hung around your neck.
She placed the flask in front of her and moved her light closer to it.
On the flask, there was a small label, and the name “Yuxin” was written on it.
If she remembered correctly, one of the five people who had disappeared was named Yuxin.
She held the flask and once again crawled out of that small path.
On the other side Li Jia and Lin Yile were scared out of their wits, both huddled together, shivering from the cold.
Cold sweat soaked their clothes and the wind chill nearly froze them.
“Why hasn’t Yuxin come back?”
Lin Yile’s voice was trembling, on the verge of disappearing.

“I…
I don’t know…” Li Jia vocalized the same uncertainty, they both squatted together, their eyes fixated on that spot without blinking.
If another rock fell down from that spot, what they would do?
Would it kill Yuxin?
Oh, how scary.
Lin Yile was reduced to tears from the fright.
“If something happens to Yuxin, my dad will kill me.”
“Why would your dad…hit…you?”
Fortunately, Li Jia’s intelligence was still intact.
No parent would punish their own daughter for the mishap of another person’s child.
Right?
“I…
I…
I didn’t hold on to Yuxin, I could’ve, I just…” Lin Yile sobbed incessantly.
She felt useless for not being able to stop Tang Yuxin.
If something really happened to Tang Yuxin, her dad would definitely be disappointed in her and might end up hitting her.
Then her Little Qiqi would lose her mom.
“Don’t cry, if your tears freeze on your face, you might get frostbite,” Li Jia quickly consoled Lin Yile.
Lin Yile quickly wiped away her tears, truly too afraid to cry anymore.
“Let’s not squat here, let’s try to move about.
We might freeze to death if we don’t move.”
Li Jia stood up, wrapped herself tight, and started to shuffle in small circles.
Lin Yile did the same, thinking about others comfortably sleeping in their warm blankets, while she was here shivering in the cold made her even more miserable.
They should not have come.
She swore she would never return, no matter how much silver was offered to her.
As she was contemplating her choices, she glanced at the crack and saw a dark figure emerging from it.
“Ghost!” Lin Yile immediately held onto Li Jia, giving her a scare.
“Ghost?
Where?
Where’s the ghost?” Lin Yile was hunched over, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself in the snow.
“There…” Li Jia trembled as she pointed to the growing shadow.
The figure stood upright, brushed off the snow and was holding a lamp.
Brushed off the snow.
Lamp.
Tang Yuxin?
Both of them reacted at the same time and ran towards the figure.
Tang Yuxin was covered in snow, including her hair and face.
It looked as if she had rolled in the snow since there was snow on her from every direction.
“Yuxin, are you alright?”
Eagerly, Li Jia asked if there was anything unusual inside.
“Look at this.”
Tang Yuxin displayed the flask she was holding to them, bringing the lamp even closer to it.
“This is …” Lin Yile took the flask, gave it a shake, and found it quite heavy.
There must still be water in it; it was just frozen due to the cold.
She tried to open the flask but the water wouldn’t pour out.
It was indeed frozen.
“Look at the name,” Tang Yuxin took the flask back and showed the label to both of them.
“Look.”
There was the name “Yuxin” written very clearly on the flask.
“Yuxin.”
Li Jia also read the name.
“Such a common name.
What’s wrong, is there anything peculiar about this flask?”
“Yuxin is one of the five missing individuals.”
Tang Yuxin explained as she picked up her bag from the snow and cradled the medical kit in her arms.
“I am heading off to find them, do you want to go back first?”
“I am not going back.
I am going with you,” Lin Yile affirmed, clutching the medical kit in her arms.
However, as soon as she touched the kit, she felt a chill run through her.
It seemed like she could freeze to death.
“I am also going,” Li Jia asserted.
She couldn’t possibly head back alone now.
Going back meant having to brave the way back in unsafe conditions.
They had journeyed for so long in the snowfall that it likely hid their footprints.
Venturing insightlessly in a massive snowstorm at midnight could have a serious risk of getting lost or hurt.
Staying together seemed for the best.
“Let’s go,” Tang Yuxin cautiously led the way, warning her companions to keep close.
As she had been there before, she was more careful this time.
At least she was not prone to falling down and getting a mouthful of snow.
They all cautiously reached the other end, just like Tang Yuxin had observed earlier.
The snow in front of them had piled so high that they couldn’t see if there were any fresh footprints or anything else.
“Let’s go,” Tang Yuxin turned to glance at the chasm they had just traversed.
She then carefully proceeded forwards.
They left footprints in the snow.
Only a few minutes into their journey, a loud crash sounded from behind.
Turning around they saw a burst of flying snow.
It appeared to be another avalanche.

“I’ll go back and check,” Li Jia immediately went to investigate, careful not to stray too far from the others and risking the danger.
Moments later she returned.
“Yuxin, the path we just came from has caved in.”
At that moment, Li Jia was tightly clutching at her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently.
Whether it was from running too fast or fear was unknown.
The path they had carefully navigated only a short while back was subject to yet another avalanche.
If they had been just a few minutes late, they might have been buried under the snow.
They all felt a lingering fear.
Every time they recalled what had happened, they shuddered.
Lin Yile clutched Li Jia’s arm, still scared.
