864 Feng Wu Is Brilliant! 3
“She said we should dig a hole in the snow and sleep in it. It’ll be warmer that way.”
“Is she trying to kill us? The snow is freezing, and a hole underground will be the same. And she’s telling us to sleep in it?”
“We won’t live to see another sunrise if we do that.”
A voice cut them off at that moment.
“Why do I get the feeling that Feng Wu’s instruction makes sense?”
It was Shi Xuan.
Ever since Feng Wu saved Gongsun Qing with her own blood despite how the latter had mistreated her, Shi Xuan had changed her opinion of Feng Wu.
Many smirked at this.
“Is that so? Miss Shi, please enlighten us.”
Shi Xuan said, “I can’t, but I’m willing to try. We’ll freeze to death all the same if we just sit here.”
Shi Xuan was the first to dig.
Those around her tried to stop her, but she persisted.
She was willing to trust Feng Wu, although she also found it impossible that a snowpit could be warmer.
Soon, she made a hole big enough for one person.
Shi Xuan was the first to enter.
Wait!
Shi Xuan’s eyes lit up!
She had thought that Feng Wu was making fun of them, but as it turned out, Feng Wu was right!
It was so much warmer inside!
Shi Xuan wasn’t on her own; after Gongsun Qing was injured, she became the leader of Gongsun Qing’s team.
She walked out and gave the order to her team of fifteen.
“Let’s start digging! From 50m to the east and 30m to the west under this big rock! We’re making a very big snowpit!”
“But…” The others hesitated.
Shi Xuan said decisively, “I know you all have doubts, but you’ll see after you do this!”
Facts spoke louder than words.
With Gongsun Qing gone, the team members followed Shi Xuan’s instruction.
They knelt and began to dig with their weapons.
Cold and starved, they began to show signs of hypothermia and grew weaker.
Luckily, with their combined efforts, the hole was finished in time.
After they climbed in…
There was no need for Shi Xuan to explain, for —
Everyone beamed at one another!
“Oh god! It’s so warm here!”
“It completely blocks the wind from getting in!”
“I didn’t think this would work! Feng Wu was right!”
Quite a few candidates were still outside and waiting to laugh at the team. However, they were baffled when they saw how cheerful they were.
What was going on?
Some of them found excuses to enter the little cave.
They felt the difference in temperature as soon as they walked in!
The looks on their faces changed!
That actually worked!
A teenager named Fan Yuan was the first to take action.
He had always been kind of an outsider, and he was now the first to take action!
Without another word, he dashed off and began to dig under that big rock.
More people joined in…
Everyone was digging like rats, and snow scattered everywhere.
