Chapter 875 Let’s Hope for the Best
Following Charlotte’s guidance, Joe also spotted the small figure of Samuel
near the crevice.
“It’s actually better that he hasn’t regained consciousness yet,” Joe furrowed
his brow. “If he wakes up and struggles violently, he might continue to fall
further down, and then…”
Although he didn’t finish his sentence, Charlotte understood his meaning.
“We should notify the team leader first,” she suggested.
Charlotte took out the walkie-talkie given to her by the team leader and
contacted them.
Enter title…
“We’ve located Samuel’s position. Please come to our marked location,”
Charlotte briefly informed the team leader about Samuel’s situation. On the
other end of the walkie-talkie, the team leader sighed in relief.
No matter what, the fact that the child was still alive was good.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe team leader said they would arrive within ten minutes, and Joe and
Charlotte felt slightly relieved.
However, at that moment, the sky suddenly became overcast.
Charlotte furrowed her brow, looking up at the rapidly gathering dark clouds
overhead, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
“This weather…”
Charlotte had just turned to look at Joe when a strong wind started blowing
around them.
The winds in Antarctica were unlike those inland. These winds were
extremely fast and carried plenty of snowflakes and ice shards, which stung
when they hit.
Charlotte and Joe hadn’t expected the weather to change so rapidly, and both
of them saw the seriousness of the situation in each other’s eyes.
“Let’s find a place to shelter from this wind,” Charlotte frowned as she said to
Joe.
Leaving aside the fact that they still had to watch over Samuel here, even if
they wanted to leave now, the wind would make it impossible for them to
move.
Joe nodded in agreement, surveying their surroundings. He spotted a crevice
formed by glacial rocks that could fit the two.
He pulled Charlotte along, taking slow and cautious steps toward the crevice.
Soon, they realized that their decision had been spot on.
As the wind grew stronger, visibility dropped significantly, and the snowflakes
and ice shards became even more dense, almost enveloping them.
They might have been blown away if they hadn’t taken shelter in this crevice.
Charlotte looked towards the crevice with great concern.
With such a strong wind, she couldn’t help but worry about Samuel.
Joe sensed her thoughts and bent down to hug her. “We’ve done our best.
If… well, sometimes there’s nothing we can do.”
Seeing Charlotte’s spirits sinking, Joe spoke to her again, “However, that
crevice is quite deep, and he’s securely wedged in the middle of it. As long as
he doesn’t struggle too much, he should be safe.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, the wind couldn’t bend down and blow directly into the crevice.
Hearing Joe’s words, Charlotte knew he was trying to reassure her, and she
could only nod in agreement, saying, “Let’s hope for the best.”
Initially, they thought the wind would come and go in bursts, but it turned out
that it showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it was growing stronger by the
minute.
Even though they were sheltered in the crevice, both of them frowned.
“If this wind doesn’t stop…”
Charlotte’s anxiety grew stronger, and she held Joe tightly.
She suddenly regretted suggesting that they go and find Samuel. Joe
wouldn’t be in this predicament with her if she hadn’t.
“I’m sorry…” Charlotte looked at Joe with guilt, but he shook his head.
“We found the child, didn’t we? Once the wind stops, they’ll come to rescue
us quickly…” Joe’s words were cut short as a massive rock came hurtling
toward them in the howling wind.
Charlotte’s eyes widened in terror. “Watch out!”
