Chapter 31 He Walked Out of the Thunderstorm! (Please Read On!)
The driver's words made Luo Shan's expression change: "Fellow villager, what were you robbed of?"

"My little one, who I depend on for survival!"

The driver was so anxious that tears streamed down his face. He staggered over to the passenger side and jumped out.

"My baby is almost due, what am I going to do in this freezing weather! ... That damned beast, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to let him get on the bus!"

"Fellow villager, don't get agitated. Tell me slowly what happened!"

Seeing the driver preparing to climb the snow-covered mountain beside them, Luo Shan quickly grabbed him, "Has your daughter been kidnapped by thugs?"

The moment Du Hu and Kaiyoumu arrived, they turned on their flashlights to check the surrounding ground. At this moment, Du Hu said, "Platoon leader, there are footprints here!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction Du Hu was pointing and saw a series of footprints extending up the mountain beside the road.

"Huh, why is there only one set of footprints?" Xu Ge muttered to himself.

These words immediately caused a strange look to appear on the faces of the others. There was indeed only one set of footprints in the snow, which looked like they were left by an adult man.

"Oh no, that bastard is holding my baby!" The driver was clearly desperate to save the baby and was determined to climb up the mountain.

"Don't worry, folks! We'll get your person back!"

Luo Shan stopped the driver, "With such thick snow, we can just follow the footprints. The criminals couldn't have gone very far."

The driver's eyes lit up with gratitude: "Oh, you guys are truly my benefactors!"

"Second and third shifts, you stay here and help the villagers push the car onto the road. First shift, come with me!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the first squad carried shovels and followed Luo Shan up the snow-covered mountain to the side.

. . .

. . .

It was almost 3 a.m., but the new recruits were not sleepy at all; on the contrary, they were all secretly excited.

Catch the criminal!

This is much more interesting than the boring training I have to face every day.

In addition, everyone already knew from the driver that the person who was kidnapped was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth. Under these circumstances, the sooner the person was rescued, the less danger there would be.

Therefore, despite the enormous physical exertion, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

With such thick snow, every step would leave a mark. The team followed the footprints and soon reached the mountaintop.

"Kaiyumu, go to the back of the line."

"Yes!"

Luo Shan was worried that the new recruits in the team would get lost, which would be terrible if they got lost in the snowy mountains.

After reaching the summit, the footprints began to turn in another direction along the ridgeline.

Luo Shan gestured for everyone to rest for a moment, then reminded them, "Judging from the current situation, the thugs are very strong; they can carry a pregnant woman and still walk so fast!"

"Everyone be careful, split into two lines, and no one should fall behind. Report any abnormalities immediately!"

"Yes!"

Luo Shan's words awakened the new recruits, and they immediately perked up.

After walking along the ridgeline for a few more minutes, Li Dongshui suddenly spoke up: "Platoon...platoon leader, I think I heard something!"

"stop!"

Luo Shan immediately waved for everyone to stop, took off his hood, and listened attentively.

Xu Ge also lifted the ears off his hat; outside, all he could hear was the howling wind.

However, knowing that Li Dongshui had very keen senses, he turned his head quietly and asked, "What did you hear?"

"The sound of a dog barking!" Li Dongshui said.

Luo Shan turned around: "Where would a dog come from in a place like this? Are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?"

Li Dongshui pointed ahead: "That should be right, the sound is coming from over there!"

"Let's hurry up and take a look..." Snap!

Suddenly, a bright light flashed above everyone's heads for a moment, the intense light seeming to penetrate their bodies!
Xu Ge subconsciously looked up, only to find that the clouds had somehow descended and seemed about to press down on his head!

boom!
With a loud bang, the entire mountain shook.

"Fuck!"

The recruits were startled, and some couldn't help but swear.

"Don't panic! It's just a clap of thunder!"

Seeing that some of the new recruits were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, Luo Shan immediately roared.

clap clap clap!
A series of loud, rapid impacts could be heard from all around.

Xu Ge felt something cold hit his face and stung. He reached up and touched it, only to find it was a piece of ice the size of a mung bean.

"It's hailing!" Xu Ge shouted instinctively.

Click!

Another flash of light appeared.

Now Xu Ge could see clearly that right in front of them, a bolt of lightning, like a long whip, swept across the clouds.

Xu Ge's eyes were stinging from the bright light, and he was even more shocked.

He'd seen lightning before, but never one this close!
The destructive power unique to nature stunned everyone for a moment.

Boom boom boom!
Click, click, click!
The thunder grew louder and louder, like bombs exploding right next to his ears. Xu Ge's heart pounded wildly from the shock, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Then, a scene he would never forget appeared.

A dense barrage of lightning poured down from the sky, weaving a net connecting heaven and earth in front of everyone!

Xu Ge was completely stunned, staring blankly ahead as the hail pelted him.

"Platoon leader! It's a thunderstorm!"

Kaiyuki's roar came from behind, "Get down the mountain quickly!"

"Quickly! Everyone get down the mountain immediately!"

Luo Shan also came to his senses and immediately pushed and shoved the new recruits down the mountain.

Xu Ge grabbed Li Dongshui, who looked like she'd lost her mind: "Run!"

Li Dongshui was pulled along and forced to run down the mountain, looking back as he ran: "I just saw someone under the lightning!"

Only Xu Ge heard what he said, but at this moment, no one cared about that. The group tumbled and crawled down the hillside.

"Lie down! Everyone lie down! Throw away your shovels, quick!"

Luo Shan shouted desperately and shoved a new recruit next to him onto the snow.

The new recruits were still confused, but fortunately they knew how to obey orders. One by one, they followed Du Hu, threw their shovels aside, and lay down in the snow.

Click, click, click!
The thunderstorm continued, and everyone lay motionless in the snow, their faces filled with lingering fear.

The heavy breathing even drowned out the sound of the hailstones falling.

Xu Ge felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he breathed in the strange-smelling air.

At that moment, his awe of nature rose infinitely.

Only by experiencing such thunderstorms up close can one realize how insignificant humanity truly is.

In a daze, Xu Ge felt his leg being kicked. He turned his head and saw Li Dongshui, her face pale, panting and pointing upwards: "Look, there really are people up there!"

Xu Ge calmed himself down a bit, mustered up his courage, looked up, and froze.

On the mountaintop amidst the flashing lightning and thunder, a tall, thin figure was walking slowly toward him.

From my perspective, the electric grid generated by the thunderstorm looked as if it were draped over that person.
