Chapter 713: Call for Help

~6 min read 1,179 words

The firewood crackled from time to time under the ignition of the flames, and a cluster of vigorous flames brought warmth to the four in this cold weather.

"It's probably because of the blizzard that the walkie-talkie can't be used for the time being, which means our connection with the base is temporarily interrupted."

Xiao Yan fiddled with the black walkie-talkie about the size of a brick in his hand, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

Zhao Yunlan said with some worry: "We are fine, with this sturdy rock house blocking the fierce blizzard. I don't know how the teams distributed in other places are doing."

Xia Xiaoguang exhaled a breath of hot air, leaned slightly toward the campfire, and said to Zhao Yunlan: "Didn't Instructor Xiao say that the Crown Tundra is frighteningly large, and you basically won't encounter people from other teams on patrol missions."

Su Hao took a bundle of firewood from his portable space backpack, broke it easily with his bare hands, and added it to the fire, taking the opportunity to pick up the conversation:

"Every team has an experienced instructor following them, so nothing big will happen. After all, this blizzard didn't start suddenly but evolved slowly, so there is enough time to find a foothold."

"Su Hao is right. Before or during the patrol, we will intentionally look for some footholds suitable for avoiding blizzards, and there are Pokémon."

Trying to switch to a channel to contact other teams, Xiao Yan said without looking up.

This blizzard came suddenly, and the scale seemed to be very large.

Before, when they were halfway through patrolling the border line, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and even cold winds began to blow, so they could only return to the rock house and shrink back.

Even with Pokémon, resisting this natural disaster was not a meaningful move.

Now all they could do was try to see if the walkie-talkie could connect with other walkie-talkies.

Having a chat partner was also quite good.

Su Hao "watched" the howling fierce wind outside through Aura, and the small hail hitting the tree trunks along with the wind and snow.

This reminded him of the blizzard Articuno stirred up when he first started his journey and climbed Ice Peak Mountain to challenge the Gym.

At that time, the scale of the blizzard was so large that nearby cities were covered in it, and people would be blown away immediately if they didn't grab onto a support.

Having seen that blizzard that was a natural disaster in name and reality, the blizzard blowing in the Crown Tundra in front of him was much more pediatric.

If it weren't for taking care of Zhao Yunlan and the other three, he could actually travel in the wind and snow with his Pokémon.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Eh, it seems like it's connected to a certain walkie-talkie channel?"

Hearing this, the idle Su Hao and the other three cast curious gazes at the walkie-talkie in Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan adjusted it, turned the volume to the maximum, pressed the button, and shouted to the other side: "Calling, this is the Freezington Tundra patrol group, please reply if you hear."

"Repeat once, this is the Freezington Tundra patrol group, please reply if you hear."

Dozens of seconds later, there was still no reply from the other side, and the four frowned tightly.

"Did they not hear...?"

Zhao Yunlan touched his head, just wanting to find a topic.

Suddenly, chaotic noise sounded, startling the few people who had their ears close to the walkie-talkie, and they moved a little further away.

Xia Xiaoguang was startled: "What's the situation!?"

"Zzzzzzz————"

"Zzzzzzz————"

"Help... there are round balls... explosion... fireworks... zzzzzzz"

From the walkie-talkie, such an intermittent and weak cry for help suddenly came out.

"Calling... can you still hear?"

"Please send the specific coordinates to the walkie-talkie!!"

Xiao Yan's expression instantly became serious, staring solemnly at the walkie-talkie in his hand, his mouth constantly trying to call the other party.

However, there was no response at all.

Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang instantly became nervous, their eyes looking at Xiao Yan, seemingly waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Hao frowned and thought frantically.

Fireworks, balls, explosions.

Things that have nothing to do with each other are put together, what the hell?

Is this something that should appear in a blizzard?

?

Xiao Yan said: "We have to go save them... but without specific coordinates, looking for people in this blizzard weather is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we might even get our team trapped."

Su Hao added: "And we cannot rule out the possibility that criminals attacked them and used the walkie-talkies in their hands to fish."

Su Hao's intuition told him that this matter was probably not simple.

After a long silence, among the four who didn't know where to start, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but say first: "Shall we go out and try to find them?"

Zhao Yunlan felt that being a turtle was really not his personality.

But he couldn't force his teammates to take risks with him.

"Look? In this weather, the vision is completely blocked. I'm afraid it's impossible to search in the air."

Xia Xiaoguang frowned tightly, thinking about which Pokémon in his team could play a role in this situation.

His ace Alakazam could use the Future Sight move.

Unfortunately, his Alakazam didn't have the talent for prophecy, and the Future Sight move could only be used as a simple attack move.

Completely helpless.

Xiao Yan stood up abruptly and solemnly instructed the three: "I'll go find them. You wait in the rock house and try to see if you can contact the base."

He was a soldier. Even if the trainer strength of the three university students in front of him was on par with his own, they were only trainees.

Training was one thing, but now that such an emergency had occurred, he couldn't let the objects he should protect be exposed to danger.

Su Hao stood up silently, pressed Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "No."

Xiao Yan's expression changed, wanting to forcibly break free from the hand Su Hao had firmly grabbed his shoulder with.

But no matter how much effort he exerted, the hand pressing him down remained as motionless as an iron tower.

What do students eat to grow up these days!?

The strength actually crushed him, an active border guard!?

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Su Hao asked directly: "Is there a second walkie-talkie?"

Xiao Yan replied: "There is..."

Why did he feel that his momentum had been suppressed by the Su Hao in front of him, by this university student, since just now?!

"Can you ensure the smoothness between the two walkie-talkies?"

"Yes, as long as you adjust the output mode and match it in advance... but you..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan guessed the reason why Su Hao stopped him. ===== CHAPTER 714 =====
