Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 717: Chapter 75: Reunion After Several Years (Part 2)

The helicopters approaching were several Mi-8s. This type of helicopter is a medium-sized transport aircraft capable of carrying weight measured in tons, mainly used for personnel rescue and transport.

These helicopters were chosen because the four descending individuals had to be tied with red firefighting hoses, which were as long as ten thousand meters. Just the weight of the ten-thousand-meter-long firefighting hoses was astonishing, and light helicopters simply couldn’t bear it.

Considering the length of the Snow Gully spanned several kilometers, to conduct a more thorough search, the helicopters had to maintain a safe distance from each other. After discussion among the four, they decided on a descent interval of about one kilometer.

If there were any changes during descent or after the firefighting hose was used up, they would immediately contact the helicopters above through the satellite communicators each person carried and ascend urgently.

Yezi chose his descent location about one kilometer away from where they initially found the shoes. He was the first to board the helicopter. There were two soldiers from the Northern Military Region on the helicopter, one responsible for piloting and the other for deploying the hose downward.

After saluting Yezi, they then tied the red firefighting hose around his waist, and Yezi was slowly lowered down. The first hundred meters of descent were at an acceptable speed, but after lowering about five hundred meters, a gust of wind rose in the Snow Gully. This gust was actually a fluctuation of Spiritual Power. From this point on, whether for Cultivators or Superpower Users, it became difficult to utilize their own Spiritual Power.

The speed of the firefighting hose’s descent was like a rolling snowball, accelerating as it slid down. The people in the helicopter did not realize this, and the width of the Snow Gully also narrowed gradually from two meters at the top, to one meter eight, then to one meter five. Just when Yezi thought the Snow Gully would continue to narrow, its width stabilized.

The speed of the hose increased even more. The high-speed descent and the vast expanse of white snow walls made the eyes weary. Gradually, Yezi forgot how many meters he had descended.

The hose, bound around his waist, squeezed his innards, making it difficult to breathe, and the lack of oxygen created a sensation of light-headedness and heavy feet.

Yezi thrust his body forward and, using the momentum of his swaying body, kicked against the snow wall. The friction between the soles of his shoes and the wall slowed him down somewhat.

"It’s been a long time now, why haven’t I reached the bottom," Yezi maintained his balance. The satellite communicator he carried with him showed no response, the status of the other three was unknown.

"Why has the descent stopped? Could it be that the firefighting hose is used up?" Yezi realized the Snow Gully might actually be ten thousand meters after collecting his breath. At such a height, any carelessness could lead to his death in the Snow Gully. The person who fell just now was probably already shattered to pieces.

Should he notify the people above via helicopter, or...? Yezi fixed his legs into the snow wall, turned his body to the side, and looked downward.

In his view, swirling snow fog obstructed the visibility below. "How many more meters to go?" Yezi tried to contact the surface, but the satellite communicator showed no response.

"Damn it, could this Snow Gully block satellite communications too?" Yezi shook the firefighting hose again but shaking a hose ten thousand meters long, the people above had no response. "Little Pig, have you had enough sleep? Go down and check the situation."

Yezi reached into his embrace, the shaking just now was intense for him, but for Little Pig, it seemed comfortable. Yezi pulled out Little Pig, who was drooling in its sleep, and tossed it down. To Yezi’s surprise, he actually heard an echo.

Little Pig, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly thrown by Yezi, and before it could spread its wings, it hit the ground and sank into the snow.

There wasn’t much height left below. Yezi was pleased. The moment he loosened his grip on the firefighting hose, he squatted with his calves, powered up his thighs, and with a kick of his toes, he detached from the hose and landed steadily.

Little Pig was comfortably asleep, covered by the snow, and its sleepiness went flying off to Java. Its fiery feathers had just burrowed out of the snow when a "bang" from above sent a cascade of ice and snow tumbling down. Yezi sat down with a thud on its head.

"Damn Yezi," Little Pig was pushed back into the snow again.

Yezi stood up and looked around. He didn’t know whether Wang Fenglei and the others had landed safely or not. He wasn’t in a hurry to find them but first dug out Little Pig.

"Little Pig, we’ll split up. You go to the right. If you see the other three, let me know immediately." When they were descending by helicopter just now, Yezi was on the far left. Xu Lan Ya was the closest to him, and Yezi didn’t want her to cling to him so soon.

For Yezi, finding the Spirit Vein that even the Wang Family places great value on sooner would also add a chip in his favor.

Little Pig cursed Yezi internally, then it was hit by another snowball, which Yezi justified by saying, "It’s a good thing to cover up your attention-grabbing feathers."

After parting with Little Pig, Yezi followed the winding path at the bottom of the gully. After walking for a while, a flapping sound came from behind. Little Pig returned covered in snow, looking like a flying snowball.

"Why did you fly back so quickly? Didn’t I tell you to notify me after you found someone? Who did you run into first?" Yezi wondered. Although Little Pig was greedy and lazy, it was generally quite efficient in handling tasks and rarely slacked off.

"What, who did you see?" Yezi grabbed Little Pig, which led to a series of indignant pecks from the bird.

"Xiao Xian? Could it be Xiao Xian? Are you out of your mind? If it is, it is; if not, it’s not. Is there really a ’could be’?" Yezi was excited, his face flushing with agitation.

No wonder Little Pig was hesitant. Following Yezi’s instructions, it flew out half a kilometer and then heard voices ahead. A few steps further, it spotted a young man and woman. Xiao Xian hadn’t been in Guizhou for so long; her appearance and stature had changed, let alone the young man standing next to her.

"Take me there right away to check," Yezi couldn’t wait to sprout wings and fly over to verify.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your recommendation ticket, monthly ticket at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
