Chapter 873: The Story of Ling and Heng (136)

The man was walking closer and closer. Even in the thick snow up to half a meter deep, he was still striding steadily and had walked up to her in a few steps.

Feng Ling looked up at him, stunned.

Li Nanheng looked down at her deadpan. She was sitting in the snow wrapped in a thick coat, like a child wearing an adult's clothes. Seeing her staring at him stunned, he raised his eyebrows. "Surprised?"

Feng Ling came back from the shock, looked at him again, and lowered her head to pick up the matches and the lighter. Then she struggled to get up from the ground, but the clothes were too thick for her to get up easily. She stabilized her footing with difficulty and looked at the man in front of her again. Watching the white mist breathing out of the man's mouth, she was finally sure that this was the Boss, not a phantom.

"Boss, why are you here..."

Li Nanheng glanced at her shocked face and turned to look at the white, thick snow and the steep and frozen mountains around. His ever-cold voice seemed to be warmer than usual in the ice and snow. "Han Jin and A Feng will take charge of the base for me. I can't just throw you guys to the Rogers Pass and let you rot here."

They certainly wouldn't rot here, but in the past two days, when they stayed together in the tent and chatted to kill time, there were indeed a few members who sighed and said that the leaders of the base dumped them here because their performance was poor and that the base had abandoned them. Otherwise, why were they thrown to such a damn place? Their situation was even worse than those border peacekeeping troops stationed on the border.

No matter how Feng Ling explained to them, they were still depressed. She tried her best to restore their morale, and now they went out to look for rivers to fish, but they must still be complaining about the base in their hearts.

Now Boss Li came over in person. His presence worked better than hundreds or thousands of words from her.

Boss came over in person, indicating that the base did not give up on them, nor did it not pay attention to them. It showed how important this mission was so that those members wouldn't feel abandoned anymore.

"So, Boss, are you here to visit and cheer us up?" Feng Ling asked again and glanced at the car parked not far away. There was no one else in the car. He came by himself.

It was far away from the center of Montana here. It would be a long drive. The mountainous roads were perilous; he might encounter an avalanche at any time. How could he drive here alone?!

Li Nanheng didn't explain but glanced at the things in her hand. "What are you doing?"

Feng Ling paused and pointed to the pile of dry firewood on the ground. "I'm trying to find a way to ignite a fire. Although the tools and equipment we took here are good, we have tota use them economically because we're going to live here for three months. Otherwise, they will probably run out in less than a month."

"You don't have to economize them. The base doesn't forget you. Necessities will be sent here every ten days."

That being said, Li Nanheng still reached out and took the matches and the lighter in her hand. Seeing this, Feng Ling moved aside and gave him the place in front of the pile of dry wood.

She didn't smoke and rarely used matches and lighters, so she didn't know how to light a fire.

Although there was field survival training at the base, most of them were about tropical afforestation or forests. She grew up in the wolf cave and had always been confident about her survival ability in the wild. She didn't expect that the first field survival mission for her was in the ice and snow. Calm as Feng Ling was, she didn't sleep well last night. She had been worrying about how to live in such a cold place for three months.
