Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Is this altitude sickness?

Perhaps I have hypothermia.

Ye Tianxing, leaning on his ski poles, struggled forward in the cold wind. He had completely lost his sense of direction, and accidentally twisted his right ankle as he fell to the side of the woods.

—A bone-chilling cold.

—A piercing pain.

His phone showed that he had been gone for a long time, but unfortunately there was no signal and he could not contact any of the members at the base.

Have I been hallucinating all along?

Am I hallucinating?

Otherwise, why would I have left the camp as if I were bewitched, heading this way to look for someone?

Unable to discern whether the direction he was heading was right or wrong in the darkness, Ye Tianxing could only rely on instinct to avoid falling off the road again. The route he had come from was now covered by snow. Guided by intuition, he began to turn back, but felt as if he had been going in circles for a long time, and the energy drink he was carrying had completely frozen.

He had strayed from his original route because, having fallen, he was unable to climb the rocks with his dwindling strength.

I was so tired and hungry, I had absolutely no energy left.

After slipping and rolling down the snow again, Ye Tianxing completely lost the strength and willpower to get up. He was stuck in the snow and tried to find some usable tools in his clothes, but he soon discovered to his horror that he could not even move his hands properly.

The sound of the wind was more terrifying than ever before; my eardrums could barely withstand the terrifying air pressure.

Are you going to die here?

Ye Tianxing thought.

After recovering from the shock of the fall, he raised his trembling hand, trying to cover his face to provide some oxygen to his mouth and nose and relieve the severe dizziness and headache. But he knew that this was just a desperate struggle.

Life force is like a tap that has been turned on, flowing out continuously.

In the instant he curled up, he felt the hardness against his chest.

His scattered spirit began to revive in the last moments.

--whistle!

It was the emergency whistle that Bo Bing had given him earlier.

Ye Tianxing was overjoyed. He saw double before his eyes. He put the cold whistle into his mouth and blew it.

Nothing happened.

The fire in Ye Tianxing's heart gradually died out.

Yes, the terrifying wind completely drowned out the whistle, and at such a distance? Who would come to my rescue?

Fear and despair gripped Ye Tianxing's heart. He gasped for breath, but no oxygen entered his veins. The cold wind seemed to be forcing out all his still warm blood, then freezing him here into a lifeless ice sculpture for later rescuers to take photos and mourn.

He blinked his dry eyes. All he could see was endless white snow and darkness. In the short time he had been trapped, the white snow had already buried half of his body. Before long, he would completely disappear into the snow.

Ah, my body seems to be warming up.

Ye Tianxing closed his eyes and gently blew the whistle.

The heavy bodies buried under the snow are now immortalized here.

Ye Tianxing felt his body was floating, becoming a cold bystander in the process of his own physical death.

If God truly exists...

[Neural Reconnaissance] activated. Consumes the host's mental energy to probe along the route and mark organisms not concealed by cover.

Bo Bing cried out in pain, but kept running.

The snow here was obviously quite thick; in some places it was so deep it could almost submerge one's shoulders above the thin ice. With Alpha's help, he kept trying to break through the barriers of the route.

The wind resistance was high, and the snowflakes could easily obscure his vision.

Fortunately, Bo Bing's current clothes are warm enough, and she is only slightly restricted in her movements, but that's nothing serious.

Tracks of snow were seen ahead, and Alpha activated its skill [Neural Detection].

It looked like someone had been here. Bo Bing exhaled and quickly began to search carefully. However, even with the system, this was not a densely populated area for urban warfare. The open wilderness, coupled with the traces that seemed to have been circling around more than once, made even Bo Bing highly nervous.

This is very likely a trace left by Ye Tianxing.

Even though it was covered in snow, it was still clear that the snow was not completely untouched.

Based on the analysis of the terrain, it is clear that Ye Tianxing may have encountered snow depth that was impassable. Feeling unsafe, he wanted to return the way he came, but after circling around several times, he found that none of the paths led out, and he lost his way back.

—It's so hopeless.

Just then, Alpha's voice rang out.

[Biological target detected within 1 kilometer ahead; route being locked for host]

[Locked]

[Locked successfully]

[Planning a route for the host]

[Planning Completed]

A small red dot appeared in the gray-white field of vision in front of Bo Bing, and a green navigation button appeared in Bo Bing's brain.

Not daring to waste any time, Bo Bing quickly waded through the snow and moved to the side with his crampons.

This stretch of road, which is only one kilometer in a straight line, took a full twelve minutes to reach the destination, as the thin ice was thin and the path was made by running and crawling cautiously.

[January 12, 6:21 AM, Heavy snow, northwest wind, temperature -24 degrees Celsius]

In normal view, this area is already covered by snow.

But in Bo Bing's field of vision, he could see a curled-up creature, and he quickly bent down and dug at the ground with his hands.

It's obvious that this guy slipped and fell here, and not just once or twice. If he had gone any further, he probably would have fallen straight off the cliff.

Bo Bing ran around for a while, and started sweating profusely. He couldn't pull the person out, so he could only follow the system's instructions and first clear away the snow around the person's head to expose their mouth and nose.

good news.

—It is Ye Tianxing.

Bo Bing recognized the whistle on the other person's collar; it was the one she had given him. It seemed he had struggled before losing consciousness.

bad news.

This guy has stopped breathing.

Damn!

—What should we do?

The few red biomarkers on the creature in front of me were almost all turning gray.

Bo Bingxin hardened her heart.

—Should we dig him out and give him artificial respiration now?

His hands kept moving, one hand pinching the philtrum of the dying man, the other digging through the snow.

"Alpha, activate [Yongquan - External Treatment]."

【Yongquan - External Therapy】is underway.

[Yongquan - External Therapy] failed to start.

The target is on the verge of death and cannot be recovered.

The sky was beginning to turn slightly gray.

"alpha!"

Bo Bing clenched her fist, forcing herself to calm down. "He died right in front of me, I can't accept it... What other options do you have?"

Alpha paused for a moment, which was unusual for it.

【System prompt】

[Mystery Gift Pack - Analgin] A one-time system item. Instantly restores 90% of health, reduces maximum health by 1%. External treatments are halved in effectiveness, and side effects are doubled.

"use!"

Bo Bing's eyes had begun to become slightly bloodshot due to the increased mental stress.

He gave the order without hesitation.

[Mystery Gift Pack - Analgin] Target: Ye Tianxing.

[Mystery Gift Pack - Analgin - External Treatment] Use complete. Target's status is recovering, but the amount of health restored is reduced by 50%, and the target's maximum health is reduced by 2%.

Ye Tianxing felt a chill creeping over him.

This was followed by a dull, numb pain in my ankle.

—Am I dead?

His rusty brain is incapable of thinking.
