After both sides chose their routes, they did not interact much and just set off.

Bai Xi and the others knew that they had to hike the mountain, so they all put on their thickest clothes.

At the foot of the snow mountain, they could still talk and laugh with each other, but as they moved forward, it got more difficult to ignore the cold the further they went.

Song Tian shivered and pulled her hat down. She was so cold that her teeth were chattering. “Xiao Xi-jiejie, when can we get there? It’s so cold. I feel like I’m going to freeze to death.”

Bai Xi was not sure. She had indeed followed the card, but the route seemed to be somewhat different from what was drawn on it.

As the team leader, she was the one who chose the route. She was also the one who vowed that she would take everyone out of here.

If Bai Lin could do it, why could she not? She must not show her fear at this moment!

She comforted Song Tian, “Keep going, Xiao Tian. I believe that you’re the best. Our snow mountain route is shorter than the swamp route. I believe we’ll arrive soon. ”

Song Tian had always admired Bai Xi and especially liked the dramas she acted in. After hearing her useless comforting words, she nodded and said obediently, “Alright, but can we rest for a while? We’ve been walking for a long time. There’s a cave in front. How about we take shelter from the wind there before we continue our journey?”

Song Zhang often exercised, but he had never really hiked a snow mountain before, so he was a little tired too.

He looked around and saw that the people around him also looked tired. However, because of the livestream and their pride, they did not want to be the first to complain about being tired, so they did not say anything.

Song Tian was the youngest among them at only 16 years old, so it was normal for her to be a little willful. Song Zhang gave song Tian a look that said “well done”.

Bai Xi was also tired. “Okay, let’s take a break then.”

There was usually no place to start a fire on the snow mountain, so they had cooked all the food and stored them in their backpacks. They were quite lucky when they packed the food because they had eaten a lot these two days and the remaining food had only filled three backpacks.

The happiness at that time did not last until now. After they shared the food, they discovered a very serious problem.

The food could only last them for two more days, and they had to be frugal.

This meant that they would have to go on an empty stomach for the next few days. If they could not get out of the snow mountain within two days, they would not even have food.

They finally understood why Bai Lin had told them to eat less but it was too late.

Bai Xi forced out a smile. “The crew won’t let us go hungry. We’ll pay more attention to the cards along the way. They’ll probably give us some food then.”

“What if there’s none?”

Fiery Tom who had been silent all this time and had a strong presence in the team but was subconsciously ignored by everyone suddenly spoke.

Several people in the team looked at him in unison.

This was the key question, but the answer was too despairing.

What else could they do? Go hungry, that was it.

On their way up the mountain, all they could see was white snow. There was nothing to eat. The only prey they could see were the birds in the sky. They did not have wings and could not fly, however, so they could only watch them fly away.

Bai Xi bit her lip and looked at him pitifully. “Fiery Tom-gege, what do you think we should do?”

“Go down the mountain now and take the swamp route,” Fiery Tom said.

“No! We’ve already walked for so long. If we go down now, wouldn’t it be wasting all our efforts?” Zhao Yuan immediately opposed.

Bai Xi thought of the clue and agreed, “That’s right. According to the clue, we should be in the middle now. We can finish the rest of the journey in two days at most. Let’s all eat less and just bear with it.”

“I also agree with what Xiao Xi said,” Song Zhang said, “We’re already very tired from going up the mountain. The slope is so steep. Going down the mountain is harder than going up. Why don’t we rush to the finish line in one go? Even if we’re tired, we’ll only be tired for these few days.”

Fiery Tom casually nodded. “Sure.

“I’ll take my leave then. You guys go on. See you at the finish line.” With that, he stood up and left without wasting any time with the stunned crowd. After a few seconds, Bai Shao slowly said, “I think Fiery Tom’s right. He’s a mercenary, after all, so he should be more experienced than us..”
