Chapter 1272Chapter 1272
“But if we stay here, we’re doomed to die…”
No one responded to Stella’s words. The rest of the
group had no energy to move forward anymore. Perhaps it was due to the big mental blow because of
their lapse in judgment. None of them were confident to rescue themself.
Stella could only save herself. “We don’t know where we are. No one else knows either. If you’re going to
stay here, give me the compass. I want to get out.”
Rather than staying here and waiting for death, she could increase her chance of survival by searching
outside. However, the rest of the group was down in the dumps and had no energy to refute her words.
Stella pursed her lips. She left one compass for them and took the other one, and got ready to leave.
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain…
Roger arrived at the camp by car. As soon as he came down, he went to Bradley and asked him, “Where
is Stella?”
Bradley recognized Roger, who came to him in anger and demanded Stella’s whereabouts. From the
reaction, he knew Roger was extremely anxious due to the severe
weather.
He reassured him, “Don’t worry. The survey team that when in with her is the most experienced in the
area. They’ll be fine.”
“I’ve lost contact with her for four hours. Are you telling me that she’s fine?!” Roger was a little agitated. “It’s snowing heavily in the mountains. The signal here is bad, let alone the mountains… Don’t worry too
much.
She’ll be fine.”
Although saying that, even Bradley himself was a little anxious. “We’ve gathered several search teams to
go in. Weston’s men have gone with them too. It’ll be fine …..”
Hearing that, Roger stopped dead in his track and looked him straight in the eyes. “Weston is here?”
There was a flash of hostility in his eyes. Even so, he knew it was not the time to be jealous.
The new team was about to go into the mountains to search. Roger did not think twice about following
them.
Seeing that, Bradley and Caspian stopped him. “You’re not an expert. If you follow them, you’ll only add
to the team’s burden…”
“My sister is still in the mountain. I don’t know if she’s dead or alive. Are you expecting me to wait here
and do nothing?”
“I know you’re anxious. So am I.” Bradley said, “But have you ever thought about it? What if something
happens if you follow them recklessly? You’ll be a distraction. The rescue team will have to rescue you
instead! That’ll make Stella’s situation even more dangerous!”
Roger’s face turned cold at that. “You know she may be in danger. Why don’t you understand me? I can’t
just wait around!”
Because Roger was too stubborn to listen, Bradley gestured to Caspian to let the rescue team go first while he stalled Roger.
Another two hours passed, and there was still no news. Even Bradley was getting a little restless.
Bradley wanted to speak to Roger and reassure him, only to find the tent empty. He hurriedly called
Caspian over. Where is he?”
Caspian was startled too. When he saw the empty tent, he said, “I had someone watch him earlier. He
must have gone to the mountains…”
“Find him!”

Stella had no idea how long she walked. She was already feeling a little exhausted when she saw the
cave in front. Using the stick to navigate, she trundled forward through the thick snow.
