When most people live a peaceful life, there are always some people who make sacrifice in places
others don’t see.
When Jingyan Ye was enjoying breakfast in warm sunshine, Yiyao Duan and her comrades were
crawling in the snowy Kunlun Mountain.
After the gang of foreign outlaws broke through the border defense, they were chased around and had
to hide in the Kunlun Mountain which is covered with snow and ice all year round and rarely visited by
people. However, it is the paradise of antelopes, wolves, brown bears and snow leopards.
Yiyao Duan led the team into this snowy mountain two days ago, but they did not find any clues until
now. Although she wore eyeglasses, a mask and a thick cotton jacket, her hands and feet were still
frostbitten, and her face was blown red by the wind.
After trekking for four hours, Yiyao Duan heard her teammate's voice coming from the headset, "No. 1,
I found a clue here."
"What?" Yiyao Duan's sharp eyes gleamed.
"I found seven discarded boxes of instant noodle and the packaging of ham sausages, which I deduce
were left behind three days ago and were covered by snow."
"Good, follow the clue, and report to me immediately if there is new information."
"Roger."
The northwest wind howled and it felt like the wind was cutting people’s skin with a knife. The whole
land seemed to be covered by snow. Only the occasional appearance of an antelope could make her
feel the existence of living things.
She thought she was going to return empty-handed again today, but she didn't expect to hear a vague
human voice when it was getting dark.
"This is No. 1. There is something unusual. Be alert."
Moving slowly in the direction of the voice, Yiyao Duan saw a snow cave where the voice came from.
She muttered a curse. She wondered why she couldn't find these outlaws. It turned out they were
hiding halfway up the Kunlun Mountain. She took out the map and looked at it. From here to the
mainland, they only needed to go over two more snowy peaks. Fortunately she had found them.
She informed her teammates through the headset to concentrate in her direction, and Yiyao Duan
lurked down again to wait quietly.
It was unclear what people inside the cave were talking about, but it was certain that they weren't
speaking Chinese.
A few minutes later, Azure Dragon and Rosefinch came to her silently, "Captain, what's wrong?"
Yiyao Duan pointed to the snow cave, "There are people inside."
Azure Dragon was excited, "I'll go to scout the area."
"Be safe."
"Okay."
A dozen other teammates also arrived. Yiyao Duan warned them in the headset, "The gangsters have
chemical weapons. Be extremely careful and try to capture them alive. Use silenced pistols, or the big
sound will cause an avalanche."
"Roger."
Azure Dragon was an excellent scout who quickly returned, panting slightly and said, "Captain, there
are four people inside, all foreigners. They are eating. There are four large bags beside them. I don't
know what's inside."
"Four people?" Yiyao Duan was surprised and turned her head to ask another warrior, "You found
seven boxes for instant noodle in the morning?"
"Yes."
The number given by the headquarter was 15, which meant there were still 11 people missing. Forget
it, she thought, catch these four people first.
"Let's replenish our physical energy. We'll act when they're asleep at night."
"Yes."
In order to conceal themselves, Yiyao Duan and the others wore white outdoor jackets. When they got
down, they successfully integrated with the environment.
The warriors pulled out the frozen beef from their pockets and gnawed on it for two bites. When they
had trouble swallowing it, they would stuffed a handful of snow as water. It soon became dark in the
mountains. There was only howling wind in the air.
Yiyao Duan was lying on the snow, her legs almost frozen.
Time gradually passed. The fire in the snow cave went out, and the gangsters inside had slept.
After waiting for another hour, Yiyao Duan gave the order, "Go."
A dozen warriors who looked like snowmen agilely stood up and slowly approached the snow cave.
Because they were wearing night vision goggles, they could see clearly even at night.
The four people inside were sleeping soundly, with their backpacks at hand.
"Wake up." Yiyao Duan kicked one of them with her foot.
All four of them were awakened. They opened their eyes, only to see over ten guns pointed at them.
"Who are you and where do you come from?" Yiyao Duan asked in English.
The four men pretended they didn't understand, holding up their hands and shaking their heads.
"Are you fucking pretending to be dumb?" Yiyao Duan went up and punched them, and the one closest
to her was knocked unconscious.
"Open their backpacks."
Just at that moment, one gangster pulled out the dagger at his feet and rushed forward. But within
merely half a minute, the four people were tied tightly like dumplings.
The four backpacks contained few things. There were compasses, maps, pistols, compressed cookies
and beef, but not what Yiyao Duan wanted.
Azure Dragon squatted in front of one gangster and asked in a stern voice, "What's your name? Where
are you from?"
"We... we are here to climb the mountain." The man stammered in English.
They brought pistols to climb the snowy mountain? Plus, there were quite a few bullets.
"Zhuque, take pictures of them and transmit photos back to headquarters for comparison."
"Got it."
Yiyao Duan sneered and threatened, "For your information, if you obediently confess, I'll consider
handing you over to our headquarter alive. But if you still keep this attitude, I'm sure the wolves and
snow leopards will be very interested in you if I break your legs and throw you out there."
"It is illegal for you to do so." The man said seriously.
"Illegal?" Yiyao Duan smiled treacherously, "Nobody knows you are here except us and beasts. If you
are all devoured by the beasts, who knows we have broken the law?"
"Captain Duan is right. It is a burden to bring them. Let's feed them to the wolves and forget about it."
Yiyao Duan's comrades were taking up the chant.
A few minutes later, Yiyao Duan got the confirmation from the headquarters that the four people were
indeed outlaws.
Yiyao Duan grabbed a man by the collar and said fiercely and angrily, "You killed our men and still want
to get away with it? Say, where are the rest of people in your gang?"
The man glanced at Yiyao Duan with contempt and turned his head away.
"You're not going to tell, are you? Don't you think I will shoot you right now?" Yiyao Duan said and put
the gun against his chest.
The man didn't care about his life at all, "You can kill me if you want, but I won't tell you anything,
because soon there will be countless Chinese people to die with us. Hahahahahaha ......"
Yiyao Duan punched him on the head. But she did not expect him to be so weak and immediately pass
out.
"You guys aren't going to say anything either?" Yiyao Duan grabbed another person.
He spat on the ground, "We fought for honor and didn't think of going back when we came here."
"What a tough guy." Yiyao Duan let go of him and said to the warriors, "Beat him to death and throw out
to feed wolves."
