"It's fine now, get up!"
Ye Hao had already taken in the situation within six hundred ters around him. He could tell at a glance that there was nothing unusual, especially since their landing spot was on a peak of an iceberg with no flat area within five hundred ters around and no other vantage points. So Ye Hao wasn't worried about being sniped.
When they heard Ye Hao's certainty, they sat up, but did not sit up straight, just raised their heads a little.
Seeing this, Ye Hao said irritably, "Do you all enjoy lying on cold ice beds or what? I told you to get up, so get up, why dawdle?"
Hearing his words, they awkwardly stood up. Ye Hao took out sothing like a compass from his backpack, except it displayed the rough direction and the shape of Thurston Island.
This was a directional device Ye Hao made himself. Although he had the eighth generation system to help him navigate, relying too much on it felt a bit dependent.
So Ye Hao tried his best to make so things himself when possible, like directional guides, to avoid always depending on the eighth generation system and letting himself rely on it. If one day he lost it, he would feel danger everywhere.
His own instincts would also deteriorate.
"Boss, what is this thing?" Shuirou asked, perplexed, looking at Ye Hao.
She thought it seed so strange, as if it had nothing but spun around like a compass.
"Haha, I made this compass. Although it's sowhat useless, it's the best tool on these uncharted, deserted islands." Ye Hao laughed.
"How do you use it?" Dongfang Jiajia inquisitively moved closer and asked.
"One end points in one direction, the other in another. As long as we don't leave this longitude, we can roughly know our location. Of course, if we go out of this longitude, we can use this to return to our original location next ti."
"How is it so magical?" Dongfang Jiajia asked.
"Haha, it's nothing. Co on, let's head into the island!" Ye Hao waved dismissively to stop their questioning.
Inside this compass-like device was a system Ye Hao created. Though not a complicated system, particular skills were necessary. Ye Hao could understand it, but that didn't an they could.
Ye Hao led them, a group of eight, into Thurston Island.
anwhile, at the center of Thurston Island, three groups of people were encircled together. One was the US Navy SEALs, another was the Jiepeng Sun Team, and the third was the Philippine Army.
At this mont, the leader of the US Navy SEALs, Smith, laughed and said, "Mr. Yamada, last ti your cousin was killed by soone dispatched by Huaxia at Diaoyu Island. How do you plan to retaliate this ti?"
"This ti, we must make them pay, see them fail completely, or I will never be at peace." Mr. Yamada, the leader of the Sun Team, said coldly.
"Haha, Mr. Yamada is right. We definitely have to make those Huaxia yellow monkeys suffer. We've captured a total of twenty people. I wonder if Huaxia will send a third group?" the Philippine Army leader Qiong Zhi laughed.
"The more they send, the more we capture. I bet the Huaxia military high command will look quite displeased by then!" Smith of the Navy SEALs showed two rows of gleaming white teeth and laughed.
"Haha, once they beco scared and stop coming, we'll have a great accomplishnt. Then let them kill each other and send pictures to Huaxia, letting them see how their people fight among themselves." Mr. Yamada said with a cold voice.
"Indeed, but these thods need to be provided by Mr. Yamada. Our country doesn't research such drugs." Smith's words bore a trace of mockery, as they, the Aricans, disdain to study such sinister things, having fists big enough to command respect.
"Haha, Smith, you will see the power of our Sun Country's new product." Mr. Yamada just laughed twice without returning the sarcastic remark.
He was confident enough that even Smith would be envious when he saw what Jiepeng had developed.
While they discussed how to deal with Huaxia soldiers, Ye Hao was searching for them.
anwhile, Xu Shaoyuan and others inside the ice cave were on the verge of death.
Even though three nations provided heat and oxygen cylinders, there were really too many of them. Even if each person took one breath, it would be about a minute or so per round.
In the lack of normal oxygen in Antarctica, it was really unbearable.
Xu Shaoyuan looked at the remaining oxygen cylinders and said with difficulty, "Brothers, leave the remaining oxygen to the second group of brothers. They have just arrived and can hold on for a while longer, so let's not waste any more oxygen, or everyone will die."
"No need... we don't need it either. We can still hold on; you use it first, or we definitely won't last until rescue." Hu Yanhu said with a parched voice.
"Don't be stubborn. We don't know when the third group will co. You should try to survive and stay alive. We've been freezing for so long; it's really hard to hold on." Xu Shaoyuan could barely breathe at this point.
Hu Yanhu hurriedly grabbed an oxygen cylinder for Xu Shaoyuan to breathe.
Though Xu Shaoyuan insisted on refusing, Hu Yanhu was stronger, so he could only take a deep breath of oxygen.
Thus, the second group led by Hu Yanhu and the first group led by Xu Shaoyuan clung on in the ice cave, each not using an extra breath of oxygen, thinking to hold out a little longer for their comrades. Though they might not be able to hold out until the third group arrived to rescue them, at least they wouldn't leave too soon.
Ye Hao and his group of eight had crossed over six mountain peaks by this ti. Though fatigued, they persevered without taking a single breath of oxygen.
Ye Hao didn't let them use oxygen, naturally wanting to see whether they could transcend themselves under extre conditions.
"Boss, how much longer do we have to keep walking?" At this ti, Shuirou, truly becoming weak, asked while panting.
"There are faint footprints here. Although it seems like a trap to lure us over, we really have no choice but to follow. After all, Thurston Island is so vast, and wandering aimlessly won't do us any good. We can only follow along with the ambush set by others." Ye Hao said coldly.
"But if there's an ambush ahead..."
"It's not yet clear whether they're ambushing us or if they'll be counter-ambushed by us." Ye Hao's eyes glead with a sharp light.
Then he saw all eight faces flushed red and said with a smile, "Take one deep breath, then breathe again in half an hour. You have a minute." Then Ye Hao sat cross-legged.
But at this mont, the eighth generation system's warning sounded.
Ye Hao quickly executed an Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms move towards them.
Their bodies slid on the ice and skidded away, while Ye Hao also raised his self-made sniper rifle at the first mont... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
