Chapter 446 On the Snowy Mountain Road

Evelin placed the metal coffee cup heavily on the chair with a bang.

Daniel, who was tall and powerful, shrank his neck and instantly looked like a primary school student whose class teacher was checking classroom discipline. He sat there without daring to move.

Xu Cheng and Ito Rika acted as if nothing was wrong, but neither of them interrupted.

Dinah raised her head stubbornly and looked at her sister.

Evelin's face was expressionless, even her eyes were as cold as the cold wind: "Dina, you are too willful."

Although her voice was cold, both Xu Cheng and Ito Rika could hear the disappointment in her tone.

She had always wanted to train Dinah to be a strong woman like herself, but Dinah's current too willful behavior made her realize that her education might have failed.

Dinah also felt her sister's emotions. Her stubborn look broke down a little, and she argued: "If you all lose, then sooner or later I will fall into Virgil's hands. I would rather die than die. I might as well go up the mountain with you. The worst is

We can also die together."

The four adults were slightly startled, not expecting Dinah to say such a thing.

To a certain extent, she was right. If Virgil won the competition, he would never let go of Dinah, a relative of his enemy.

Her fate will either be killed or locked in a dark room and become RBQ.

As a business expert with a sharp tongue, Evelin would not be stumped by her sister's words, and immediately snorted: "If Archer hadn't discovered you, do you know that you would have been frozen to death by now? Where would you have been able to take care of it?

Life and death in the future?"

Dinah whispered: "Then I'm not dead now."

Evelin continued: "It's hard to say whether we will win or lose with Virgil. If you are a burden and cause us to lose, can you bear this responsibility?"

Dinah stood up: "You are just looking for some low-probability things to embarrass me!"

Evelin stopped arguing with her and turned to look at Xu Cheng: "Arqi, send her back."

"I don't!"

Dinah threw herself directly into Xu Cheng's arms and hugged his waist with both hands.

Xu Cheng raised his hands with an innocent look on his face, and Rika Ito was eating melon with gusto. Only Daniel was heartbroken when he saw this scene.

Evelin was very angry. She didn't expect that before the decisive battle, her sister was causing trouble for her. If she had known that she shouldn't have indulged her too much when she was a child.

Seeing Evelin's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Xu Cheng had to step up and clean up the mess.

"Okay, now there's no place to hide her when we send her back. It's better to take her with you. At least it's safer."

"Archer!"

Dinah let out a sweet cry. She didn't expect that Xu Cheng would speak for her despite her sister's anger, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

Evelin looked at Xu Cheng with dissatisfied eyes, waiting for him to explain.

Xu Cheng patted Dinah on the shoulder and asked her to let go of him. Unexpectedly, the little girl hugged her tighter and tighter, so he had to leave it alone.

He raised his head and said to Evelin: "Even Dinah can't bear your arrangement, so why do you think you can deal with Virgil's threat?"

These words left Evelin speechless. She arranged for a capable man to protect Dinah and keep her from running away.

But Dinah was able to follow up, which meant that she easily got rid of that subordinate, which was really derelict in her duty.

At this moment, Ito Rika also stabbed Evelin in the back: "Oh, I remember Evelin said that if Dinah follows, she will take her with her."

Evelin: “…”

Facing the teasing eyes, she stood up expressionlessly and returned to her tent.

Dinah raised her head cautiously: "Archie, are you looking for a rope to tie me up?"

Xu Cheng shook his head. Evelin had realized that it was unrealistic to send Dinah back now. Instead, it would expose her to danger, so she might as well take her with her.

As the leader, she couldn't admit defeat face to face, so she could only choose to acquiesce by withdrawing.

"Do you think it's fun to follow someone alone?"

Xu Cheng pinched Dinah's face hard: "If I hadn't found you, you would have been frozen into a popsicle by now."

Dinah didn't dare to resist and begged for mercy pitifully: "I won't dare to do it next time, it hurts~~"

Daniel looked on and was dumbfounded. In his impression, Miss Dinah, who was as proud as a peacock, actually had such a soft and cute side, which almost made people nosebleed.

But when he thought of showing this side of Dinah to Xu Cheng, Daniel's heart was like broken glass, turning into pieces all over the floor.

Because of the atmosphere, no one was interested in chatting and went to bed early.

However, for safety reasons, Xu Cheng and Daniel took turns keeping vigil.

Daniel was on guard in the first half of the night, and it was Xu Cheng's turn in the second half of the night.

He was sitting alone by the stove, looking at the snow and ice in the sky outside, drinking steaming tea from his cup, feeling like he was enjoying the snow in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately, this trip was not for camping.

Subtle footsteps suddenly sounded. Xu Cheng looked back and found Dinah sneaking over. She moved a chair and sat next to Xu Cheng.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"If you can't sleep, give me your hand."

Xu Cheng stretched out his hand and was caught by Dinah. She breathed into Xu Cheng's hand and then gently rubbed it on his hand: "Is it still cold?"

I didn't expect that it would actually become a hand warmer. Unfortunately, Xu Cheng had the Amaterasu Qi refining technique, and his whole body was as strong as a stove, so he was not afraid of the cold at all.

However, he did not refuse Dinah's kindness and allowed her to warm his hands.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Xu Cheng came back to his senses, he found that Dinah had fallen asleep leaning on him.

He took off his coat, put it on Dinah, and made the fire brighter.

The night passed like this without any incident. Neither Evelin nor Virgil would choose to attack when their opponent was most wary when they just left the house.

Evelin didn't mention sending Dinah back again, and helped Daniel put away the tent and other tools, and then the group got on the road again.

There was a university event last night, and the surrounding landscape seemed to have changed. I could only rely on the map to continue moving forward.

We walked for another morning, but because of the deep snow, we actually only walked less than 20 kilometers.

Xu Cheng's shadow can move at high speed on the snow, but his shadow cannot bring so many people with him, so he can only suffer with him.

Near noon, when the group was about to find a place to have lunch, a man suddenly jumped out of a big tree not far away and made a big hole in the thick snow.

Then the man rolled up to Evelin and said, "Miss, you are here."

Evelin frowned and said, "Why are you the only one?"

In addition to sending Ed and Theresa to stop Virgil halfway last night, she also sent many people with strong wilderness survival skills to follow the road into the mountains to explore the conditions and situations they would encounter along the way.

The main risk is to find the people sent by Virgil in advance.

The subordinate explained with a sad face that the group of them went into the mountains with Evelin's orders, but encountered a rare snowstorm on the first night, and several people were blown away.

The remaining people continued to move forward, but unexpectedly encountered more than a dozen snow wolves. Under the attack of the wolves, they turned into a mess. When he came to his senses, he was the only one left.

He didn't dare to run around, so he could only hide on this inevitable road and wait for Evelin's arrival.

Evelin's face turned ugly after hearing this: "You have dozens of elites, all equipped with equipment and firearms, but you can't beat a dozen wolves?"

"Miss, these wolves have mutated again and become bigger than tigers. Bullets are useless on them."

This subordinate burst into tears: "Our people were dragged away, and we rushed to rescue them. As a result, more people died. All weapons and tools were useless. We were also desperate."

Daniel was dumbfounded: "Can this snowy mountain support such a big wolf?"

Ito Rika interjected: "Just eat the same kind."

At this time, she was not in the mood to watch the fun, and she became serious. This trip seemed not to be easy.

Dinah quietly reached out and dragged Xu Cheng's clothes. Just hearing the description made her feel scared, but at the same time she felt a little excited.

Evelin did not blame this subordinate for escaping before the battle, but said softly: "You did a good job. Go down the mountain. Next, leave it to us, Daniel, and give him a piece of food."

Daniel reluctantly gave him the food, but he declined: "Miss, let me go up the mountain with you."

Evelin shook her head and said: "There are not enough places, you can go back."

He could only hold the food with tears in his eyes, turn around and go down the mountain.

Evelin said nothing and continued moving forward with everyone, but everyone knew that she was in a bad mood.

The people sent out to explore the road were all killed, which meant that the road ahead turned into the fog of war, and everything went dark, so we had no choice but to move forward.

In the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed again. The originally clear blue sky suddenly turned dark. Then a fierce cold wind blew and heavy snow fell.

Xu Cheng, Evelin and Ito Rika looked at each other. The heavy snow came so quickly and strangely, as if it was deliberately creating difficulties for them.

Evelin immediately ordered Daniel to take out the ropes and tie everyone together to avoid being scattered in the heavy snow.

After that, a group of people headed forward in the snow, looking for a place to avoid the snow.

Surprisingly, Dinah's performance was actually pretty good. She didn't dare to complain about crawling and rolling in the heavy snow. Instead, she felt like she was enjoying it.

Evelin was originally very disappointed with Dinah's willfulness, but now she became relieved that she was indeed her sister.
