Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 873

Chapter 873: The Story of Ling and Heng (136)

The man was walking closer and closer. Even in the thick snow up to half a meter deep, he was still striding steadily and had walked up to her in a few steps.

Feng Ling looked up at him, stunned.

Li Nanheng looked down at her deadpan. She was sitting in the snow wrapped in a thick coat, like a child wearing an adult’s clothes. Seeing her staring at him stunned, he raised his eyebrows. “Surprised?”

Feng Ling came back from the shock, looked at him again, and lowered her head to pick up the matches and the lighter. Then she struggled to get up from the ground, but the clothes were too thick for her to get up easily. She stabilized her footing with difficulty and looked at the man in front of her again. Watching the white mist breathing out of the man’s mouth, she was finally sure that this was the Boss, not a phantom.

“Boss, why are you here…”

Li Nanheng glanced at her shocked face and turned to look at the white, thick snow and the steep and frozen mountains around. His ever-cold voice seemed to be warmer than usual in the ice and snow. “Han Jin and A Feng will take charge of the base for me. I can’t just throw you guys to the Rogers Pass and let you rot here.”

They certainly wouldn’t rot here, but in the past two days, when they stayed together in the tent and chatted to kill time, there were indeed a few members who sighed and said that the leaders of the base dumped them here because their performance was poor and that the base had abandoned them. Otherwise, why were they thrown to such a damn place? Their situation was even worse than those border peacekeeping troops stationed on the border.

No matter how Feng Ling explained to them, they were still depressed. She tried her best to restore their morale, and now they went out to look for rivers to fish, but they must still be complaining about the base in their hearts.

Now Boss Li came over in person. His presence worked better than hundreds or thousands of words from her.

Boss came over in person, indicating that the base did not give up on them, nor did it not pay attention to them. It showed how important this mission was so that those members wouldn’t feel abandoned anymore.

“So, Boss, are you here to visit and cheer us up?” Feng Ling asked agan, and glanced at the car parked not far away. There was no one else in the car. He came by himself.

It was far away from the center of Montana here. It would be a long drive. The mountainous roads were perilous; he might encounter an avalanche at any time. How could he drive here alone?!

Li Nanheng didn’t explain but glanced at the things in her hand. “What are you doing?”

Feng Ling paused and pointed to the pile of dry firewood on the ground. “I’m trying to find a way to ignite a fire. Although the tools and equipment we took here are good, we have tota use them economically because we’re going to live here for three months. Otherwise, they will probably run out in less than a month.”

“You don’t have to economize them. The base doesn’t forget you. Necessities will be sent here every ten days.”

That being said, Li Nanheng still reached out and took the matches and the lighter in her hand. Seeing this, Feng Ling moved aside and gave him the place in front of the pile of dry wood.

She didn’t smoke and rarely used matches and lighters, so she didn’t know how to light a fire.

Although there were field survival training at the base, most of them were about tropical afforestation or forests. She grew up in the wolf cave and had always been confident about her survival ability in the wild. She didn’t expect that the first field survival mission for her was in the ice and snow. Calm as Feng Ling was, she didn’t sleep well last night. She had been worrying about how to live in such a cold place for three months.

Li Nanheng squatted down, reached out to examine the fire she had lit on the ground, and said flatly, “This ground is full of snow, and there is also thick ice under the snow. Do you want to start a fire on this? Even if there is fire, it will come out in a few minutes.”

With that, the man glanced at the two tents not far away. “The tents are fire-proof and cold-proof. Why don’t you set a fire in the tents?”

Feng Ling pointed to the ground. “I want to clear out an open place here, so I want to melt the snow on the ground first. After all, we live in the tents. If wood and coal burn inside, I’m afraid I may cause coal poisoning.”

“You can open the tents to ventilate from time to time, and there won’t be coal poisoning when there is flowing air.” Li Nanheng poked the firewood on the ground again and quickly lit a fire.

Then, as he said, it was so windy here that the fire went out before it touched the snow below.

The man was still squatting there, checking how thick the ice in the snow was.

Feng Ling stood behind him, looking at the man wearing the same thick black winter suit as her. She wondered whether the winter suit was made according to his size. It was so big and was thick and puffy in her. When she first put it on, she walked like a toddler, waddling all the time. It was recently that she started walking more steadily.

Although Li Nanheng was wearing the same winter suit, it didn’t look puffy at all in him, and he even looked handsome and stylish in the suit.

Feng Ling looked at him, then looked at her trouser legs, that she pulled up a lot, and pursed her lips, saying nothing.

The man stood up, and Feng Ling looked at the pile of dry wood on the ground again. “Doesn’t it work?”

Li Nanheng turned to look at her. “Paths are made by men. I’ll figure it out. Where are the other members?”

“They are fed up with the solid dry food, so they went to find the rivers under the snow mountain, break the ice, and catch some fish to eat.”

Li Nanheng walked a few steps forward as if walking or measuring how thick the snow and ice were. After a few minutes, he stood a few meters away, kicking away a stone covered by frost and snow. “When they come back, ask them to use the ice-breaking tool to dig away the snow and ice within twenty square meters here first. There should be snow-melting materials in your cars. After the snow and ice on the ground are melted, lay those materials on the ground. As long as they are well maintained, this space will not freeze within three months.”

It turned out that the materials in the cars were used in this way. No wonder the person who sent them to Montana said that although supplies will be sent to them on a regular basis, the things in their cars should be enough for them to use.

So that was why.

No wonder XI Base was called the best military training base in the world!
