Chapter 93 You should learn to respect!
"Waaah—"
A biting wind was blowing, and it was nearly noon.
Lin Ye and his two companions, along with the Ice Wolf Squad, walked through the mountain valley, heading upwards.
Before long, they finally arrived at a depression between two mountains. This place was slightly flatter and bordered a cliff.
The group stopped, and the Ice Wolf Squad members began to divide the work: some set up tents, while others started a fire to cook.
There are many snow-capped mountains and cliffs in this area. The midday sun is strong, which makes avalanches most likely to occur, so people usually travel in the afternoon and evening.
Lin Ye silently checked the map in his mind; it would take another night to reach the location of the White Crystal Snow Lotus.
"How beautiful, the Fulanwu flower sea."
Grace, standing near the cliff, looked ahead and smiled brightly.
Lin Ye looked over and saw a large expanse of blue below the cliff.
I stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff to look down, only to find that it was a field of pure blue roses.
Not only the petals, but also the stems and leaves are blue, like a blue sea.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a certain spot in the blue ocean, where a pure white figure lay prone. Suddenly, it lunged forward and grabbed a creature that resembled a wolf.
"These are Hesteric people. Their women are beautiful, with blue hair and golden eyes."
"The male members of the tribe are very tall, mostly over 2.5 meters. Some people say they are descendants of giants."
"In addition, they like to wear animal skin clothing, so they are often mistaken for Yetis by foreign tourists."
Lin Ye suddenly realized that this was what the Yeti meant.
He nodded with a hint of regret; he had thought there would be some new ingredients.
"Wow!"
A roar came, and the two turned around to look.
Andrei grinned and pointed to the steaming iron pot next to him.
Large chunks of unidentified grayish-white meat were simmering in a pot, and the rest of the Ice Wolf Squad were scooping the meat out with large spoons.
"Dinner's ready!" he shouted.
Grace looked at Lin Ye, knowing that Lin Ye couldn't understand Xilu language, and said, "Call us over for dinner."
They fished out a few pieces of meat with ribs attached, and the three of them sat down together, sprinkled some salt and pepper on them, and started gnawing on them.
The meat was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor.
"That's how it is up in the mountains. It won't cook properly, so we have to cook it down here and bring it up. Just give it a quick dip in hot water and it's ready to eat."
As he spoke, Guderian took a chocolate bar out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Ye.
If you don't like it, eat Snickers.
Before he could finish speaking, Guderian saw Lin Ye get up and walk towards the iron pot.
My gaze fell on the spot where Lin Ye had just been sitting, where several bare bones lay scattered about.
He glanced at Grace, who didn't say anything and simply took the chocolate bar from his hand.
"Grace, let's try our best to take care of Lin."
"Look at him, what a miserable life he's been living with Brother Huaizhang, yet he eats this stuff so deliciously."
"When we get back, we'll definitely take him to Grand City for a big meal!"
......
Around 4 p.m., the team packed up their tents and continued on their way.
To prevent language barriers, Guderian asked Andrei for an earpiece translator for Lin Ye.
As darkness fell, Lin Ye suddenly looked at Guderian as he walked.
"What's wrong?"
Guderian asked the question.
"There might be an avalanche ahead," Lin Ye said.
At the very front, Andrei heard the translation through his earpiece, tilted his head, and gave a disdainful smile.
He turned around and looked at Guderian.
"Professor, we are the professionals. Your judgment could very well cause unnecessary losses."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
He looked at Lin Ye when he said those last words, and the meaning was clear.
Guderian raised his hand to signal Andrei to be quiet, and looked at Lin Ye.
"He's right that we should leave professional matters to professionals. Our judgment is not professional and may very well be wrong."
Lin Ye didn't say anything more after hearing this, he just nodded.
He was only guessing; he couldn't be 100% certain.
However, after practicing the vibration ring technique, his perception of various vibrations became much more acute.
He heard some faint cracking sounds during the journey, sounds he hadn't heard before.
In fact, even if an avalanche occurs, it won't matter. With his current strength, protecting Guderian and Grace during an avalanche shouldn't be a problem.
As for the Ice Wolf Squad, that's up to fate.
Seeing that Lin Ye was no longer saying anything, Guderian waved to Andrei, signaling them to continue on their way.
The group continued forward, and Guderian approached the woods and spoke softly.
"Don't say things like that anymore, it will damage their team's image."
"You may not know this, but in Xilu, if a mercenary squad has a bad reputation, they'll starve to death."
Lin Ye nodded, and the group continued on their way.
Several hours later, the team crossed a mountain.
Andrei and a blonde female team member walked at the front.
"Andrei, can't we just deal with them here? We've already got the money anyway."
Andrei licked his teeth and grinned. "Oh, silly Anna, this is a wildlife reserve, it's under satellite surveillance."
Anna frowned slightly. "We won't be able to get much footage at night. Is it really necessary to be so cautious?"
Andrei looked at Anna with amusement.
"Oh, Anna, don't you think this is interesting?"
"This is our last mission. After this, we'll leave Gran and live a carefree life."
"Besides, that professor's skills are very valuable. He can sell them for a good price after he finishes picking those snow lotuses."
"Don't rush, you can have that muscular pretty boy later, I only want that girl."
Anna glared at him coldly. "Women like that look clean, but they're the most promiscuous behind the scenes! You'll die in a woman's belly sooner or later!"
Andrei pouted, "Oh, that's great!"
He playfully pinched Anna's cheek, then turned to look at Lin Ye, flicked his little finger, and whistled.
"Great expert! How lucky you were, you didn't encounter an avalanche."
Lin Ye listened to the voice from the translator, glanced at it, and then stopped talking.
Guderian walked toward Andrei, who shrugged indifferently.
"Let's rest here for the night," Guderian suggested.
Andrei's expression changed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows.
"Professor, if we don't get over that hill tonight, we might miss the time you mentioned."
Anna, standing nearby, frowned as well. "Can you guys stop making such a fuss? You're all so annoying!"
Guderian frowned at her, said nothing, and then looked at Andrei.
"If I miss it, I'll wait for the next time. I'll just pay more."
"I invited you here not so you could talk back to me. Isn't the principle of hiring a mercenary team that the customer is the saint?"
Andrei tapped his fingers on the gun barrel one by one, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded.
"You're in charge, boss."
Guderian's expression softened somewhat. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he glanced back at the two of them.
"Furthermore, you should learn to respect others!"
......
In the evening, the five tents reflected a faint glow under the moonlight, and the campfire was still burning.
"When will you make your move?"
The Ice Wolf Squad members gathered around the campfire to warm themselves, and one of them looked at Andrei.
"No rush."
Andrei slowly turned the roast chicken over the campfire. "They said we should do it cleanly, so we need to be professional."
"Whoosh~"
The curtain of a tent was lifted, and Lin Ye walked out.
In an instant, all the members of the Ice Wolf Squad were stunned, their hearts leaping.
"Click-clack!"
With a few clicks of bullets being chambered, the entire Ice Wolf squad assumed an attack stance, raising their guns and aiming at Lin Ye.
