Chapter 429 -429: The Handshake between Life and Death
Bai Xiao felt that she was about to die! Her body was as cold as ice, and she truly believed it had become an ice block.
Even moving slightly was impossible; she was as stiff as a zombie, indistinguishable from one.
An Zhiyuan, please come back quickly.
All she could do was pray that they would quickly defeat the enemy because in this moment, she knew she had gone too far.
She had truly risked her life to save others, though she knew with her special ability within her, she definitely wouldn’t die, but probably no one had tried the feeling of being frozen into an ice block! Recovering would require bit by bit thawing, then feeling like she had died once; it was extremely uncomfortable.
If it were so bearable, would she have needed an Energy Potion in her past life?
She still didn’t know where her Energy Potion was.
She knew she just had to let go of Liu Yun’s hand, and then she wouldn’t continue to freeze; that was the only way, but she clearly saw the mudslide still pouring in. Letting go meant the people inside would be the first to face death.
In this moment, she couldn’t abandon her teammates; she absolutely couldn’t do such a thing.
There were a dozen lives there; no matter what, she couldn’t let go.
So, the clasped hands signified their lives were bound together.
If they were to live, they would live together; if they were to die, they would die together.
That wasn’t realistic for her, but it was the reality for a dozen people.
If there really was a God, she wished God wasn’t letting her come back just to watch others die while she remained indifferent, preserving herself wisely. So, God, please open your eyes and look at these people; they are all kind and loyal teammates! They shouldn’t die in this cold, damp cave; they should die in a warm bed, in the arms of their family at home, definitely not here. As long as she was here, she couldn’t watch her teammates make sacrifices.
She would not let go, even in death.
An Zhiyuan and Hu Biao rushed over.
An Zhiyuan had already seen Bai Xiao and Liu Yun’s tightly clasped hands, and when he grabbed them, Bai Xiao’s fingers were so cold that it made him shudder.
Damn it, this woman had no regard for her life.
He took off his raincoat and pulled Bai Xiao out; she was already in bad shape because her body was too stiff to bend.
What kind of perseverance was this?
“They…,”
In a daze, Bai Xiao saw An Zhiyuan, but her mind was still on her teammates.
Holding her in his arms, Bai Xiao was so rigid she couldn’t lean against him; he had to hold her like a wooden log, tightly in his arms, rubbing her body to warm her.
“Hu Biao, dig fast!” An Zhiyuan couldn’t care about digging through the rocks; Bai Xiao’s condition was more heartbreaking.
But teammates, too, were lives, and he understood better than anyone what Bai Xiao was doing.
If before he had had mere suspicions, now, having seen certain visions when he was between life and death, he somewhat understood the secret Bai Xiao carried, her medical skills, her different acts of salvation time after time.
Bai Xiao’s medical skills were likely being sustained by something that was depleting, with her life, or perhaps her Vitality, being the most likely possibility. He couldn’t specify; he just felt that this so-called True Qi was probably not so simple.
Bai Xiao was already frozen to this extent.
The current temperature shouldn’t have caused her to freeze like this, even though it was raining, yet she was still colder than an ice block.
He didn’t want to say anything; he knew there was a connection between them.
This connection had been very clear to him when he was on the brink of death.
Perhaps only he could help her at this moment.
