Chapter 463 - 453
Chapter 463 - 453
The vast white land was silent at this moment.
But it was covered with footprints, chaotic. One could imagine the turmoil that had occurred here before. Lu Jinxuan led the team in a careful search, and no one dared to make any noise. Amidst the rustling footsteps, Lu Jinxuan’s heart kept sinking.
"Young master!"
A subordinate suddenly came running over from the front, holding something.
Lu Jinxuan grabbed it, his eyes red with rage... It was Wanwan’s clothing! That day at the airport, he personally dressed her in it, and he even laughed at her for looking like a ball. The sweeter the past, the more terrifying it was at this moment!
Clenching his teeth tightly, Lu Jinxuan ordered in a deep voice, "She must be nearby. Even if we have to dig through this entire snow sea, bring her to me!"
"Yes!"
"Woo... howl..."
The roar of a beast came from ahead! Lu Jinxuan suddenly raised his eyes, his whole body tensed, entering a state of alert, his right hand gripping the tranquilizer gun, "Let’s go!"
Footsteps on the snow made a shuffling sound. The place was so quiet... that one could hear the sound of breathing and heartbeats.
"Young master..."
The subordinate’s voice carried through the cold wind, and Lu Jinxuan saw two seals not far away, barking and in a very excited state. On the bridge of his nose sat high-end glasses, and despite the distance, he could see that one of the seals was holding something.
Could it be... Wanwan?
Lu Jinxuan immediately quickened his pace, but the subordinates collectively blocked him, "Young master, it’s dangerous!"
"Get out of the way!" Lu Jinxuan’s sharp eyes swept over them, "Don’t make me say it a second time!"
The subordinates looked at each other, having no choice but to step aside, but not daring to stray too far from him.
Slowly getting closer, the two seals seemed very excited, and even more so when someone approached. The beastly roar instinctively made people swallow their saliva. The accompanying personnel threw prepared meat at the seals to distract them.
The seals, huge in size, precisely bit into the food but made no move to release the human they held. Not only that, but their eyes were bright, as if hostile toward these people.
Getting closer, Lu Jinxuan could see clearly, it wasn’t Wanwan, just a piece of clothing! But that piece of clothing belonged to Yu Sangwan, a cashmere cardigan worn over her thermal underwear.
Lu Jinxuan’s feelings were indescribable. In such a cold place, all of Yu Sangwan’s clothes had scattered... Could she still be alright?
"Woo... howl..."
The seals howled, and Lu Jinxuan’s eyes were bloodshot, intending to attack with the gun. However, his subordinate stopped him, "Young master, they seem to be going somewhere..."
At this point, Lu Jinxuan was far from calm. The blood in his body seemed frozen, including his brain and thoughts. Upon careful observation, it seemed true. Struggling to steady himself, Lu Jinxuan held the gun in his right hand, approaching step by step.
"Woo... howl..."
The icy field was nerve-wracking with every step. On the snow, there was no visible anomaly. Suddenly, the two seals stopped, and their howling grew louder.
"What’s happening?" Lu Jinxuan didn’t shift his gaze, but this question was clearly directed at the accompanying professionals.
"Young master, they show no signs of attacking, getting a bit closer... It seems they want to tell us something."
Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly and continued forward. There was an open space ahead, with a large depression in the center, and inside was a curled shadow, like... a person!
"..." Lu Jinxuan’s heart thudded violently, almost blurting out, Wanwan!
"Lu Jinxuan!" Gong Xueyan suddenly emerged from somewhere, stopping Lu Jinxuan, "You can’t go forward! Your life is not just yours!"
Lu Jinxuan’s temples throbbed. There were not many people he liked, but someone he loathed... Gong Xueyan definitely ranked high! He didn’t even bother to utter a ’get lost’ at her!
Seeing him silent, not even looking at her, Gong Xueyan grabbed his arm, trying to snatch the tranquilizer gun, "Give it to me! I’ll shoot, take care of these two seals, won’t it? Give it to me!"
During the struggle, Lu Jinxuan flung his arm, throwing Gong Xueyan to the ground, his eyes viciously hooked, "Want to die? Don’t worry, I’ll grant you that later!"
"You..." Gong Xueyan was furious, "Ungrateful, I’m doing this for your own good?"
The tension seemed to spread across the snowfield, and a subordinate hurriedly came over to pull Gong Xueyan away, "Miss Gong, you don’t understand our young master’s temperament, please step aside! We can’t attack the seals proactively, this field is a gathering ground for seals, causing a commotion could result in disaster!"
Gong Xueyan’s face turned pallid, stunned as she was led aside.
Ignoring her, Lu Jinxuan slowly moved closer to the pit, seeing clearly the small figure inside, it was indeed Yu Sangwan! Her face was as white as snow, her long black hair spread out, possessing a kind of enchanting beauty.
"Wanwan!"
Blood surged through Lu Jinxuan, he broke into a mad dash, almost leaping into the air.
"Oowoo..."
Perhaps his appearance was too intimidating, a seal suddenly lunged at him.
"Young master!"
Lu Jinxuan extended his left arm, pulling Yu Sangwan into his embrace. With a flick of his right arm, the tranquilizer gun rested on his arm, and in a flash, he pulled the trigger, the tranquilizer dart accurately hitting the lunging seal. The drug worked immediately, and the seal fell down.
The companion didn’t know what happened and went wild too. "Oowoo!"
Before Lu Jinxuan could act again, his subordinates had already moved, and the other seal was down too.
Lu Jinxuan was completely exhausted, dropping to his knees, holding Yu Sangwan tightly in his arms, "Wanwan, Wanwan!"
Yu Sangwan was already unconscious, and without a second thought, Lu Jinxuan took off his down jacket to wrap her. He dared not imagine, reaching out a trembling hand to her nostrils... For a moment, he couldn’t detect any breath. At that moment, it felt like his heart had stopped!
Thankfully... there was breath, albeit very weak.
A subordinate immediately came up to put a coat on him, "Young master, let’s go! Those two seals made sounds just now, their calls carry some kind of signal, more of their kind will come soon!"
Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, picking up Yu Sangwan.
"Young master, let us handle it!"
Lu Jinxuan said nothing nor looked at him, holding Yu Sangwan tightly as he headed straight for the helicopter.
The subordinate was taken aback, bowing, "The rescue team is in place, as soon as we arrive, medical attention can begin!"
...
In the base rescue room, Lu Jinxuan leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and arms folded. Underneath his calm exterior was a heart full of anxiety.
When he went in just now, the doctor had told him to be prepared. A girl experiencing shock and cold in such conditions in Antarctica wouldn’t fare well. Lu Jinxuan knew this clearly, but precisely because he knew, he couldn’t accept this reality more and more.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, emitting a fierce gaze!
