Chapter 258 Advance Team
Yan San gestured for Xi Yu to come forward and asked in a slow voice, "What are your thoughts?"
“Let’s explore it ourselves, but before that, we need to know the depth of the pit.” Xi Yu stared at the dark opening in the middle, which looked as sinister as a monster with its jaws wide open.
Her mental power can now cover a range of one kilometer, but that range is not enough to reach the bottom of the pit.
Yan San nodded slightly, agreeing with this view.
If we disregard the signal and simply want to detect the depth and width of the pit, drones can do that now.
He immediately began operating the drone to take measurements.
Xi Yu yawned softly and sat down casually to the side. The pit was covered with a thick layer of snow, about half a meter high, so Xi Yu simply leaned against the snow walls.
The wind blowing out of the pit was slightly warmer than the cold wind around her, and Xi Yu also had a hot pack given to her by Yan San stuck inside her abdomen.
As the warmth enveloped her, she gradually lowered her eyelids.
After working for more than half an hour, Yan San finally completed the measurement settings. Now all he had to do was wait for the drone to send the data up.
He wanted to tell Xi Yu the news, but when he turned around, he was stunned.
Xi Yu had fallen asleep against the snow wall, a thin layer of snow still clinging to the tip of her nose, making her look adorable.
He couldn't help but chuckle silently, then took off his coat and carefully and gently draped it over her body.
He reached out and gently brushed the tip of her upturned nose, sweeping away a speck of snow, and spoke softly in an almost murmured voice.
Goodnight, my wife.
On the campsite, a dark figure stood on a high place, gazing at them.
Di Han's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, his dark gaze fixed on Xi Yu, who was sleeping peacefully in the distance.
A few days ago, when he approached the sleeping Xi Yu, the murderous look in her eyes reappeared when she woke up.
"Di Han, is there any situation over there?" Fang Yiqing asked, noticing that he had been in that spot for a long time.
They were both on duty during this time period.
Di Han, who had turned around, had regained his usual expression. He shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing's wrong. How about you?"
“No, we can go back and keep watch up ahead.” Fang Yiqing took the lead and they had to check the camp every now and then.
"Let's go then." Di Han spoke with a normal expression, but after Fang Yiqing turned his head, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Xi Yu slept for almost an hour. The past three days of traveling through the snow had left her a little tired.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Yan San, quietly slipped past the guards, and returned to her tent.
Everyone in the tent was still fast asleep; no one should have noticed that she had been missing for over an hour.
The next morning, Yan San ordered one-third of the team to be sent down into the pit to investigate.
The advance team consisted of Yan San, Yue Chengsi, Yang Tai, Xi Yu, and Fang Yiqing.
Dr. Feng Li expressed her dissatisfaction with this arrangement.
"The military doctor must stay by your side at all times. If anything happens to you down there, it will be too dangerous."
Before Yan San could finish speaking, Yang Tai couldn't help but retort, "If we bring you along, it will be even more dangerous for us! Are you capable of going down to the bottom of the pit on your own?"
Yang Tai's blunt words made Dr. Feng Li's face turn dark, but even Dr. Feng Li, who had participated in countless missions, could not guarantee that she could enter the pit, let alone the young An Ying.
