The terrifying howl of the blinding blizzard only got louder. Stella sensed something wrong and stepped
in front of the men. “What’s wrong with you?”
Only then did the man seem to realize something and took off their masks.
One of them said intermittently, “I don’t feel right. It is as if the further you walk in, the more difficult it is to
breathe.”
Stella, too, noticed that it was a little hard to breathe, so she called them off.
They unexpectedly had the same feeling as Stella, so it meant the situation wasn’t good.
“We came here many times. These things don’t normally happen.”
The leader said to Stella, “Let’s keep going. We will be fine once we get to the resupply point.”
Battered by heavy winds and snow, Stella hesitated a bit.” Or we should go back.”
But some of them insisted on going forward. “If we go back now, the path might already be blocked by
the snow, and we may encounter danger. Let’s just continue on. At least there is a supply point up
ahead. We can go there to rest.”
There were different opinions among the members. A few of them insisted to keep going, thinking that
they would be fine as long as they took the path they had taken before. However, another group thought
that they were aware of the danger. They thought that if they continued their journey, they might still need
to return to the original path if they faced any unpredictable problems.
However, if they went back using the same route, there was no guarantee that they’d safely return to the
shoulder. Stella had a bad feeling when she saw them arguing.
The changes in the weather caught them off–guard.
When Roger drove to Snow Mountain, he heard the weather forecast in the car. An unusual snowstorm
was apparently about to hit them, and travelers were reminded to take note of their safety.
He kept calling Stella, but the call did not get through.
He reassured himself that it could not be such a coincidence. Maybe it was just a momentary bad signal,
but since he couldn’t get through, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
After visiting Elias and Emma at Angelina’s place, he drove straight to Snow Mountain, where Stella
was.
Just as he got on the road, he heard the weather broadcast. His eyes were covered in fog, and he
stepped on the gas to accelerate.
Weston’s men arrived at the resupply point in a short time. They sped up a bit when taking the original
path. However, Stella and the rest who should already be there were nowhere to be seen. Not even the
first batch of people we in sight.
When Weston arrived, the group leader told him a little uneasily, “There is heavy fog in the mountains,
and the wind and snow have intensified a lot. They may have gotten lost.”
The man’s face turned gloomy immediately. “Didn’t they say that there were many experienced on the
team? How could this happen?”
“Perhaps it was because they haven’t met with an accident in the past few years, so everyone’s become
overconfident. That’s why…” Nobody imagined that the weather would change so quickly, and no one anticipated that such a situation
would occur to them.
“But it’s still early. It’s likely they have not arrived just yet and are resting on the road for a while.”
Someone comforted Weston as well. “Let’s wait for a bit more, I guess they will come back in a short
time.”
After all, they were professional, so Weston did not say much.
His face was horribly dark. Ben did not dare speak so much in front of him, fearing he might step on his
land mines.
Half an hour later, there was still no sight of Stella.
