Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

In fact, the workers' words hit Ling Fengxi's heart. Yes, if Wu Yongjie and the others were really in danger, they might be waiting for rescue at this moment. Rescuing them a minute earlier might increase the chances of being rescued.

But he still stood in front of the workers and said, "No, you can't go. Even if they really fell out of the ice cave and encountered danger, you going there will only cause more people to be in danger. You can't save them."

"Secretary Ling, this is our own business, you don't have to worry about it."

As the workers spoke, they pushed Ling Fengxi away without any courtesy and walked forward. Ling Fengxi was so anxious that his vision went dark. He shouted, "Ye Minglang, stop them!"

Ye Minglang was actually standing with the workers. He lowered his head at this time because he said that he also wanted to rescue Captain Wu and the others, so he was fully armed at this moment.

Ling Fengxi said again: "Ye Minglang, if you don't listen to instructions, you will not be able to do your job in the future!"

His words drew another round of sneers from the workers. Someone said, "Xiao Ye, you'd better go back. It would be troublesome if you lose your job because of this. Unlike us, we are strong and can work anywhere."

"Yes, Xiaoye, let's go save our boss, and you go serve your boss."

……

But Ye Minglang hesitated for a moment, and finally imitated Ling Fengxi's behavior and stood in front of the workers. "Although I know that Secretary Ling was too much by not letting us go up the mountain this time, he must have his reasons. I have to stop you."

He didn't sound confident at all when he said this, and Ling Fengxi knew that Ye Minglang also had some opinions about him.

But how could Ye Minglang alone stop so many workers?

Ye Minglang was also pushed away.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look over there! Are Captain Wu and the others back?"

Ling Fengxi was shocked and looked ahead, only to see a team slowly advancing on the snow in the vast night.

Because the distance was too far, I couldn't see clearly. I just felt that there were quite a lot of people in the group. In addition, each of them was very close, so at first glance I thought it was a huge monster moving forward.

Some workers couldn't help but rush forward, "It's them, it must be them, they're back!"

"Yes, I'm back!"

Everyone rushed forward recklessly to greet the team. The commotion even startled the workers who were resting in the camp. Everyone came out of their houses to look. The chef in the cafeteria was asking, "Do we need to ring the gong? Is it Captain Wu and the others who have returned? Do we need to ring the gong?"

But no one answered the master chef because no one could be sure of this.

The team seemed to be getting closer, but in fact there was still some distance, which was similar to running to a dead horse when seeing a mountain. The reason why we could see the team heading this way was entirely because the moon in the Western Tianshan Mountains was bright enough, the snow in the Western Tianshan Mountains was white enough, and the night in the Western Tianshan Mountains was like a blue day.

Ye Minglang didn't chase after them, but after observing closely, he said, "Secretary, I saw it. It's an all-terrain vehicle. It's indeed Captain Wu and his men."

After all, they knew what kind of vehicles had entered Xitian Mountain. Apart from Captain Wu and his team, who else would be willing to pay the price of a fully equipped vehicle to enter Xitian Mountain?

Ling Fengxi said, "Quick, go notify Doctor Fang, so the medical staff are ready."

"Yes!"

Ye Minglang turned around and was about to run, but stopped, "Secretary, it's not that I didn't want to listen to you just now, it's just that I, I..." Ye Minglang has always been tongue-tied, and he didn't know how to explain it at this time.

"I understand. Don't worry, you won't lose your job." Ling Fengxi sent Ye Minglang away and sent another staff member to the cafeteria, instructing them to ring the gong and work overtime to cook. It would be best if it was hot steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, etc., and fried cabbage and vermicelli.

He felt that Wu Yongjie and his colleagues, who had been busy in the mountains for half a month, might most want to eat an ordinary hot meal, a home-cooked meal.

A gong was struck in the cafeteria first.

"Captain Wu and the others are back!"

"Captain Wu is back!"

Everyone finally couldn't help but cheer loudly, "He's back! That's great, Wu Lao Hu is back!"

"Wu Lao Hu is back!"

"Our Captain Wu is back!"

……

Wu Yongjie and his men had indeed returned. Originally, they had planned to camp there in the afternoon and leave at dawn the next day. However, the closer they got to the camp, the stronger their desire to return became. There was no way they could camp so close and wait for dawn...

Wu Yongjie took into account that the radio had fallen into the ice cave, and although the other equipment could not be said to be out of power, they had consumed a lot of power after all, so he was unable to contact the camp for a while.

I guess Ling Fengxi and the others must be worried.

So he finally agreed to the team members' proposal and continued on his way without stopping. It would be a good thing even if he arrived at the camp after dark.

But they didn't expect that when they were still some time away from the camp, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs in the camp, and the lights in the entire camp suddenly lit up. In the green mountains, these lit lights were as unreal as a mirage, but they made people feel warm and a sense of belonging.

Wu Yongjie's eyes suddenly became sore. "Ling Fengxi is a good guy. He found out as soon as we got here."

Everyone else laughed when they heard his words, and their hearts felt warm...

Li Jianguo said, "Captain Wu, you love scolding Secretary Ling the most, but whenever something happens, you're the first to start it... We all know you."

Wu Yongjie, his true colors exposed, felt a bit embarrassed and said, "What do you know? He's the financial backer. We were able to get paid, complete the project, and pass the inspection smoothly. Isn't that all thanks to him? Let me tell you, Ling Fengxi is someone I can't afford to offend. If you do, you'll have to bear the consequences."

Everyone burst into laughter...

Amidst the laughter and chatter, a group of workers rushed towards them...

But after about half an hour, the two groups of talents finally gathered...

Naturally, there was another round of hugs and cheers, and various inquiries, etc. When Wu Yongjie heard the workers say that they were going up the mountain to rescue them, but were stopped by Ling Fengxi, he was stunned for a moment.

The other people in the team were also in disbelief and talked about it.

"How could Secretary Ling stop someone from coming to rescue us? What's his intention?"

"Does that mean we deserve to die outside?"

“It’s so chilling…”

As everyone was criticizing Ling Fengxi, Wu Yongjie said with a stern face, "Does anyone want to go up the mountain for rescue this time? Write down the names of the people who will be there, or you'll lose all your bonuses this month."

Workers: "Huh?"

Wu Yongjie said, "This is why Ling Fengxi is the leader and you can only be workers. He is always rational and always puts people's property and lives first. Don't you think about it, if we can't come back today and really fall into an ice cave and get trapped, can you guys save us?

I'm afraid that after tonight, you will all freeze to death in the Western Tian Mountains and be buried in the snow.

Luckily, we've made it back today, even though we were so close. But look at you guys, you're already frozen to your core! With the equipment you have, how could you possibly go into the mountains?"

"This is not called rescue, this is called suicide."
