Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

After standing in the cold wind by the lake for half an hour, the group decided to give up on the activity.

After putting away their empty fishing rods, the six men sat in a row, holding the hot soup brought by the waiter, and drank the delicious fish soup in the rising steam...

Hmm...actually, the fish at the market is pretty good too, right?

Shunzi sipped her fish soup while watching Jie Qi directing the workers who had already finished eating to pack up supplies. She really wanted to ask him what he was thinking. Why were there fresh frozen fish among the supplies they had prepared?

If Jie Qi knew what Shunzi was thinking, he would definitely tell him that there was not only frozen fish, but also fresh fruits and vegetables, all kinds of fresh meat, various seasonings, and even a chef among the accompanying staff...

It's simply outrageous, there's no limit to how outrageous it can get.

The team got ready and continued their journey. What reassured Shunzi was that those troublemakers had finally quieted down and stopped causing trouble.

Perhaps because they were full and sleepy, everyone walked quietly for the rest of the way, with only the whistling wind and the rustling of horses walking on the snow in their ears.

After traveling some distance further in, it became obvious that the slope of the road began to increase, making it more and more difficult to walk further.

The horse beneath him slowed down noticeably, and its breathing became heavier.

As the slope became steeper and the road conditions more treacherous, Shunzi focused intently and carefully led the way, instructing everyone to strictly follow the route he had traversed and not to leave the group without permission.

This is where the benefits of Lao Qin throwing these guys into the training camp in advance became apparent.

In the past, there might have been some rebellious individuals who liked to go against the grain and do things differently.

But now... well-behaved and obedient.

……

"Look, the little wench has followed us!"

From the moment he reached the halfway point up the mountain, Fatty Wang would occasionally set up his binoculars to take a look, and now he actually got what he was waiting for.

A group of about the same size as them was heading towards 'Agaixi Lake'.

If we go into the mountains at this time, we won't be able to walk for long, and we'll most likely end up camping overnight at 'Agaixi Lake'.

The line below stretched out incredibly long. If you didn't use binoculars, from their position, the group looked like a long, black worm crawling across the snow.

A long snake that freezes into a stick in the snow: Thank you so much...

"Fourth Grandfather".

Lang Feng also set up his binoculars to observe the situation below. Looking at the excellent equipment and weapons in the team, he unconsciously looked at Chen Pi.

Chen Pi took the binoculars and glanced at it, only slightly curling the corners of his mouth, ignoring him. Judging from the little fat boy's appearance, he probably knew that someone would be following them.

"Ignore them, keep going."

That little brat Wu Sansheng should be in that group. He's putting on this show for his nephew, but he'll see if the other side buys it.

Wu Sansheng: I have a few words to say...

As dusk approached, the team arrived at the campsite that Shunzi had mentioned, an abandoned village that had previously served as a border outpost.

They will rest here for the night and recharge.

Since there were many people in the group, they chose a few relatively less dilapidated wooden houses near the village entrance to rest.

With so many guys, it wouldn't be their turn to keep watch. Before going to bed, Su Li pulled out a large box of bright red beads and asked Pan Zi to distribute them among everyone.

Pan Zi held the beads casually piled in the wooden box, feeling their warmth against his skin. Even through the wooden box, a warm sensation seemed to seep into his body through his palm.

Looking at the item in his hand with curiosity, Panzi almost didn't want to hand it over anymore. What if he could sell this good stuff...?

"This won't last long, it'll be completely cold in ten hours at most. Remember to take it back to Fatty tomorrow morning so he can recharge it."

Su Li patted Pan Zi on the shoulder and happily went back to sleep.

These small beads were made by him based on the battery principle of this world. His weapon-refining skills were just so-so. The fact that he could store energy for five hours was all thanks to his senior brother's remote guidance.

They scrapped a batch of materials and only got a few dozen. They gave them to Fatty and charged them with some fire-elemental spiritual power. The guys who came with them on this trip should at least be able to get a good night's sleep, right?

Shunzi and others also benefited from the situation.

Holy crap, this is amazing!

Why didn't you take it out sooner?

Pan Zi rolled his eyes and didn't even bother to acknowledge them.

After a warm and comfortable sleep in the freezing cold, everyone was full of energy and ready to continue their journey the next day.

When Fatty Wang received the wooden box that Panzi had returned, he happened to catch a glimpse of Monk Hua's bruised and swollen lips, his gaze greedily fixed on him.

Slowly placing the wooden box into his backpack, Fatty hummed a little tune in a good mood and set off!

You little punk, you think you can just borrow it and then keep it for yourself?

The group set off in high spirits, but they were caught off guard by a barrage of snowflakes shortly after they started walking.

The swirling snow, accompanied by fine, sandy sleet, left everyone looking dejected. Even with scarves, hats, and goggles on, they were finding it difficult to withstand the increasingly fierce blizzard.

Following Shunzi's instructions, everyone pressed their bodies against the horse's back as they moved forward through the wind and snow. They could hear almost nothing but the howling wind, and had to shout into someone's ear to speak.

The snow beneath their feet was getting thicker and thicker, and the horse could no longer bear the weight of the load, making it difficult to move forward.

They went from riding horses to riding sleds, and eventually even those sleds became unusable, so they had to walk through the wind and snow.

Shunzi led everyone to a sheltered rock wall to rest, where they finally had a chance to catch their breath and eat some dry rations to replenish their strength.

Seeing that the people in the group were finally eating compressed biscuits, Shunzi felt a sense of relief for some reason.

Damn, he's finally starting to look like he's climbing a snow mountain.

Yesterday, if you didn't know better, you'd all look like you were having a picnic at some scenic spot.

Wait a minute……

My nose twitched. This is so rich and sweet... milk... milk tea?

Looking down at the thermos that Jie Qi had shoved into her hand, the white steam was quickly carried away by the cold wind. Although her nose wasn't as sensitive in the cold air, it was right in front of her, how could she not smell it?

Is this team really that outrageous?

Seeing everyone heads down eating, each with a thermos in hand, why are you carrying so many water bottles up a snow-covered mountain?

But this milk tea is really delicious; it warmed up my almost frozen body after drinking it.

This thermos is amazing. I guess they brewed this milk tea when they got up this morning, because it's still scalding hot to drink.

I don't know where I bought it; I'll have to make one myself when I get home.

Completely unaware that her thoughts had begun to wander, Shunzi ate the cold, hard compressed biscuits in her hand while enjoying a warm cup of milk tea, trying to replenish her energy.
