Chapter 627 Equipment
The three of them laughed together, Xu Mo deliberately made a serious face: "Can't you two answer my question seriously?" Enjing put away her smile and said seriously: "Xu Mo, actually I have thought about it. If we When we are old, I hope we can still watch the sea together, travel together, and recall the adventures and passion of our youth together as we do now.”
Li Zixue said: "Yes, just like the old man said, we must cherish this friendship and be each other's strongest support no matter how time goes by. Xu Mo, Enjing, you say, if we get old , will we still face all challenges hand in hand like now? ”
Xu Mo looked at his two close friends, with endless warmth in his heart: "Of course. No matter how the future changes, no matter where we go, as long as our hearts are still there, as long as this sea is still there, we will watch it together Let’s travel together and spend every unforgettable moment together, because this is our agreement, this is our friendship.”
On a winter morning, the sun shines through the sparse clouds, coating the silvery world with a light golden color. Li Zixue stood in front of the window, looking at the mountains covered with white snow in the distance, and said excitedly: "Xu Mo, Enjing, the weather is so good today, how about we go skiing? Let's add some excitement to this trip!" Jing put down the coffee in her hand and her eyes lit up: "Sounds good, I haven't experienced the collision of speed and passion for a long time." Xu Mo also nodded in agreement: "What a great idea, it will just test our teamwork."

They quickly got ready and drove to a nearby ski resort. The scenery along the way unfolds like a scroll, from lush pine forests to snow-covered peaks, it's so beautiful. After arriving at their destination, the three of them put on professional ski equipment and couldn't wait to enter the world of snow.
As the proposer, Li Zixue naturally acted as a temporary coach: "Remember to lean forward slightly, maintain balance, and form a 'V' shape when braking." She demonstrated and explained patiently, while Enjing and Xu Mo followed closely. Finally, they imitated the movements. Although they occasionally fell down, the three of them laughed and enjoyed it.
Just as they were enjoying the pleasure of skiing, the weather suddenly turned gloomy and the wind gradually increased. Li Zixue frowned: "This snowstorm came too suddenly, we must go down the mountain as soon as possible." Enjing looked around and found that the originally clear road signs had been covered with snowflakes: "Oops, the road signs are gone, which direction should we go? ”
In the wind and snow, visibility was extremely low, and even the signboards not far away were blurry. Xu Mo analyzed calmly: "I remember there was a red cabin on the way down the mountain. It was an emergency shelter. We should go in that direction." The three decided to follow the clues in their memories and fight the harsh environment together.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, making every step forward extremely difficult. Just when they were almost swallowed by the wind and snow, suddenly, the snow under Enjing's feet collapsed, and her whole body plummeted downwards. "Enjing!" Xu Mo and Li Zixue exclaimed. They reacted quickly, dropped their backpacks, and tried to hook Enjing's hand with their ski poles.
"Don't panic, hold my hand!" Xu Mo's voice sounded particularly firm in the wind and snow. Enjing reluctantly grabbed the ski pole handed over by Xu Mo, but she almost let go because the force of the slide was too great. "Hold on, I'll help you!" Li Zixue stepped in from the side, using her own body as a fulcrum to hold Enjing's hand with difficulty.
After some hard work, the three finally worked together to pull Enjing out of the snow cave. Xu Mo checked the surrounding situation: "This place is not safe, we have to leave quickly." They carefully bypassed the avalanche area and continued to look for the direction of the shelter.
Just when his energy was about to run out, a flash of red loomed in the wind and snow. "Found it!" Li Zixue shouted excitedly. They staggered towards the cabin, pushed open the door that was half-closed by the wind and snow, and stumbled into the house.
Beside the fire, the three of them took off their equipment and slumped on the ground, checking each other for injuries. "This time it was really a close call. Fortunately, we are all fine." Enjing was still panting and still frightened. Li Zixue patted the snow on her body and said with a smile: "It seems that our adventure is not just about skiing, but also experienced an additional survival challenge."
Xu Mo lit the fire, and the flames jumped, gradually warming the cold cabin. "After this experience, I am even more convinced that no matter what difficulties we face, as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." His eyes swept over Enjing and Li Zixue in turn, full of determination.
Enjing chuckled and replied: "Yes, we are an invincible trio, rain or shine." The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and their smiling faces under the firelight were warmer and more dazzling than the ice and snow world outside the window.
"However, after this snowstorm passes, I want to ski again. This time I want to choose good weather and enjoy the fun of speed safely." Li Zixue put forward pretending to be relaxed, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"Then you have to promise us to check the weather forecast before making plans next time." Xu Mo and Enjing said in unison, and the three of them burst into laughter again.
Outside the window, the wind and snow were still raging, but inside the cabin, it was warm and peaceful. At this moment, they deeply realized that no matter whether they were facing the test of nature or the challenge of life, as long as they had partners by their side, there would be no problem that they could not overcome. They believe that when the storm passes, what awaits them will be a more beautiful scenery and a stronger friendship.
"Well, since we can't go out for the time being, let's talk about our dreams. It can also be considered as an early celebration that we have safely overcome this crisis." Enjing suggested, breaking the brief silence.
Enjing's eyes suddenly became serious, and she said softly: "Remember the original intention of us becoming police? Not only to hunt down criminals, but also to protect the innocent and make the world less afraid and more peaceful." Xu Mo and Li Zixue nodded, the three of them understood each other tacitly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Soon, a rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility in the wooden house. Li Zixue stood up alertly, leaned close to the crack of the door, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?" A man's trembling voice came from outside the door: "Please, help me, someone is chasing me." Li Zixue's eyes signaled Xu Mo and Enjing were on guard. She opened the door cautiously, only to see a pale, disheveled man staggering in. Behind him, several blurry figures could be seen approaching quickly in the wind and snow.
"Close the door quickly!" the man gasped, leaning against the door panel, fear written all over his face. Xu Mo quickly locked the door bolt, while Enjing took out the emergency communication equipment from her backpack, only to find that the signal was weak due to the wind and snow. The three people and the man sat around the fire, looking at each other nervously.
"Tell me what's going on?" Xu Mo's tone was calm and firm. The man swallowed and began to tell his story: "I am a resident of a nearby town. On my way home just now, I accidentally witnessed the transactions of criminal gangs. They found me. Fortunately, I ran fast, but I Knowing they will never give up.”
"Criminal gang?" Li Zixue frowned, "We have to find a way to contact the outside world." Enjing nodded in agreement, observing the surrounding environment and thinking about escape plans.
At this time, there were messy footsteps in the wind and snow outside the wooden house, which was obviously the gangsters approaching. Xu Mo whispered: "We must be ready for battle to protect this gentleman and ensure our safety at the same time."
Just as they were nervously arranging their defenses, the window of the wooden house was suddenly hit by a strong force, making a loud "clang" sound. The three people quickly dispersed and each took advantageous positions. Xu Mo reminded in a low voice: "Remember, do not use force unless necessary. Our first priority is to protect the hostages and our own safety."
"But what if they break in by force?" Li Zixue held her ski pole tightly, her eyes shining with determination.
"Then, let us show the qualities we should have as police officers," Eun-jeong said with firm eyes, "protecting the innocent and fighting crime, this is our unchanging belief."
At this moment, the wooden door was hit hard, accompanied by rough shouts: "We know you are inside, hand over that person, and we can consider sparing your life!" The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Xu Mo approached the door and said in a deep voice: "We are the police. You have been surrounded. It is wise to surrender immediately!" The noise outside paused, and then a burst of ridicule broke out.
"Police? Huh, we have the final say here." With the words, the wooden door was violently hit again, and the situation was critical.
At this critical moment, Enjing had an idea and whispered a few words to the man, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in the man's eyes. Then, she picked up the communicator and pretended to speak loudly: "Headquarters, this is Eunjing. We have successfully rescued the hostages and requested immediate reinforcements. The coordinates have been sent. The situation is urgent. Please speed up the support!"
The gangsters outside the house were obviously shaken when they heard this, and the banging stopped. Li Zixue took the opportunity and whispered to Xu Mo: "Using this opportunity, we have to think about how to evacuate safely."
Just as the three were preparing to execute their escape plan, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Very good, comrade police, we are waiting for your 'reinforcements'. However, before that, you might as well come out and discuss the terms."
Xu Mo, En Jing and Li Zixue exchanged glances and already had a plan in mind. Enjing walked towards the door and responded calmly: "It's okay to open the door, but in order to prove your sincerity, let one hostage leave first before we consider negotiating."
There was silence for a while outside, and finally, a reluctant voice sounded: "Okay, but you have to move quickly, I only give you one minute."
The door opened slowly, and Enjing slowly walked out with the man. Her hand was quietly hidden behind her back, holding the police pepper spray tightly. Li Zixue and Xu Mo were waiting in the dark, ready to respond at any time.
After the man left safely, Enjing turned to face the gangster, her eyes shining with determination and wisdom: "Now, it's your turn to show your sincerity."
As soon as Enjing finished speaking, a rapid sound of a car engine broke through the silence of the wind and snow. An out-of-control car suddenly rushed out from the corner, slid straight towards the wooden house where they were, and finally hit hard. It hit a tree not far away, making a huge collision sound.
"Be careful!" Xu Mo shouted, quickly pulling Enjing and Li Zixue to dodge backwards to avoid being hurt by flying debris. Their heartbeats were beating like drums, and they nervously looked at the scene of the car accident. They saw smoke coming from the car and its body was severely deformed.
"Let's go take a look. Maybe someone needs help." Xu Mo made a quick decision, and the three of them cautiously approached the accident vehicle while ensuring safety. The car door was stuck, and the situation inside the car was clear. A middle-aged man was trapped in the driver's seat, his face was pale, and he was obviously injured.
"Hold on, we're here to save you!" Enjing shouted at the man, trying to stabilize his emotions. Li Zixue immediately called the emergency rescue number and briefly explained the situation and location.
Xu Mo carefully checked the car door and found that it was impossible to open it directly. "We have to use violent means." He made up his mind, found a relatively flat rock, and signaled the two of them to step back. After ensuring a safe enough distance, he slammed a corner of the car window, causing the glass to shatter.
Amidst the smoke, they worked together to pull the injured man out of the car and placed him in a safer place. Although the man was unconscious, he could still say his name: "Thank you... thank you. My name is Liu Hui."
The siren of the ambulance gradually approached, and the rescuers quickly took over Liu Hui's rescue work. Xu Mo, Enjing and Li Zixue assisted. They breathed a sigh of relief until Liu Hui was carried on a stretcher and sent to the hospital.
"It's true that misfortunes never come singly." Li Zixue sighed, patting the snowflakes on her body. "But I finally helped another person, and the meaning of this trip has deepened."
Enjing nodded and turned to look at the still raging snow in the distance: "I don't know if this car accident is due to the bad weather. We have to be more careful and return to the town as soon as possible."
The three of them gathered themselves and decided to move on. They supported each other along the road sign that was half-covered by the wind and snow, and every step was extremely difficult. The sky seemed to feel their firm will, the wind and snow gradually weakened, and the field of vision slowly broadened.
Just when they thought they could return to town smoothly, an abandoned hut on the roadside attracted their attention. Enjing stopped and said, "Do you feel that something is wrong there? There seems to be some noise."
Li Zixue and Xu Mo also listened carefully, and there was indeed a faint cry for help coming from the hut. The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the hut in tacit agreement. When I opened the door, a musty smell hit my face. In the darkness, I saw a young girl huddled in the corner, her body covered with scars.
"Who are you?" The girl looked at them warily, but the fear and helplessness in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Don't be afraid, we are the police, here to help you." Xu Mo explained gently, while signaling Enjing and Li Zixue to stay vigilant. After some comfort, the girl's name was Lily. It turned out that she was kidnapped by a group of human traffickers and escaped here during the storm. (End of chapter)
