Chapter 402: A Request for Help

The firewood crackled from time to time as it was ignited by the flames, and a blazing flame brought warmth to the four people in this cold weather.

"Probably due to the snowstorm, the walkie-talkie is temporarily unavailable, which means that our connection with the base is temporarily interrupted."

Xiao Yan fiddled with the black walkie-talkie in his hand, which was about the size of a mobile phone, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

Zhao Yunlan said with some concern: “We are fine. This solid rock house has blocked the fierce snowstorm. I wonder how the teams in other places are doing.”

Xia Xiaoguang exhaled a breath of hot breath, moved slightly closer to the fire and said to Zhao Yunlan: "Didn't Instructor Xiao say that the Wangguan Snowfield is so big and scary that it is basically impossible to encounter people from other teams during patrol missions."

Su Hao took out a bundle of firewood from his space backpack, broke it easily with his bare hands and added it to the fire. He also answered what the three of them said:

"Each team will be followed by an experienced instructor. Nothing major will happen. After all, this blizzard did not start suddenly but evolved slowly. There is enough time to find a foothold."

"Su Hao is right. Before or during patrols, we will intentionally look for some suitable places to stay to avoid the blizzard, and there are Pokémon here."

Xiao Yan said without raising his head while trying to switch the channel to contact other teams.

This snowstorm came suddenly and seemed to be quite large in scale.

When they were halfway through patrolling the border, the snow was falling heavier and even a cold wind began to blow, so they had no choice but to return to the rock house and hide away.

Even with Pokémon, it would be meaningless to fight against this natural disaster.

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

It would also be nice to have someone to chat with.

Su Hao "watched" the howling fierce wind outside through the waveguide, and the tiny hailstones hitting the tree trunks along with the wind and snow.

This reminded him of the time when he first started traveling and climbed Ice Peak Mountain to challenge the gym and the blizzard that Articuno stirred up.

The blizzard was so big at that time that it enveloped the nearby cities, and people who stayed inside would be blown away immediately if they did not hold on to anything.

Having seen that veritable natural disaster blizzard, the blizzard blowing in the Crown Snowfield in front of me was childish.

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

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Hey, it seems to be connected to a certain intercom channel?"

Hearing these words, Su Hao and the other two who had nothing to do turned their curious eyes to the intercom in Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan adjusted it, raised the volume to the maximum, pressed the button and shouted over there: "Call, this is the Freezing Point Snowfield Patrol Team, please reply if you hear it."

"I repeat, this is the Ice Point Snowfield Patrol Team. Please reply if you hear me."

After dozens of seconds, there was still no reply, and the four people frowned tightly.

"Didn't they hear...?"

Zhao Yunlan rubbed his head, trying to find something to talk about.

Suddenly, a chaotic noise was heard, which scared the people whose ears were close to the walkie-talkie and made them move a little further away.

Xia Xiaoguang was startled: "What's going on!?"

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

"Help... there's a ball... exploding... fireworks... sizzle sizzle"

Suddenly, a weak and intermittent cry for help came from the intercom.

"Calling...can you still hear me?"

"Please send the exact coordinates to the intercom!!"

Xiao Yan's face instantly became serious, he stared solemnly at the walkie-talkie in his hand, and kept trying to call the other party.

However, there was no response at all.

Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang became nervous instantly and looked at Xiao Yan, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Hao frowned and thought crazily.

Fireworks, balls, explosions.

What the hell are completely unrelated things put together?

Is this something that should appear in a snowstorm?

Xiao Yan said: "We have to rescue them... but without specific coordinates, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone in this snowstorm. If we're not careful, our team might get 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 might not be simple.

After a long silence, Zhao Yunlan, one of the four who didn't know where to start, couldn't help but ask, "Shall we go out and try to look for them?"

Zhao Yunlan felt that it was not his character to be a coward.

But he can't force his teammates to be in danger with him.

"Looking for it? In this weather, the vision is completely blocked. I'm afraid we can't even look for it from the air."

Xia Xiaoguang frowned, wondering which Pokémon in his team could be useful in this situation.

His ace, Hu Di, can predict future moves.

However, his Hu Di does not have the gift of prophecy, and the future-predicting move can only be regarded as a simple attack move.

Completely helpless.

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

He is a soldier. Even if the trainer strength of the three college students in front of him is on par with his own, they are still just trainers.

It would be fine if it was just for training, but now that this kind of emergency had occurred, he couldn't let the person he was supposed to protect be exposed to danger.

Su Hao stood up silently, pressed Xiao Yan's shoulders and said solemnly: "No."

Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he tried to forcibly break free from Su Hao's hand that was tightly grasping his shoulder.

But no matter how hard he tried to suck the milk, the hand holding him down remained as motionless as an iron tower.

What do students eat nowadays?

His strength actually crushed a current border guard like me! ?

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak, Su Hao asked directly: "Is there a second intercom?"

Xiao Yan replied: "Yes, yes..."

Why did he feel that his momentum was suppressed by Su Hao, this college student, from just now? !

"Can you just ensure the communication between the two intercoms?"

"Sure, just adjust the output mode and match it in advance...but you..."

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

He wants to lead the search!!

Obviously Su Hao was the student, but his tone now sounded as if the positions were reversed, as if Su Hao was the instructor.

"I will be in charge of the aerial search, and the three of you will search on the ground together. Once you find any clues, send the coordinates to the other party's intercom."
