Chapter 601


    Because of Tom''s strict demands as well as Fade''s guidance from time to time, the martial arts


    school students had obviously improved a lot.


    In the blink of an eye, everyone had already walked more than ten kilometres, but they were still in


    good shape. This included Pablo Liang, who was a new recruit with no foundation and basics in


    martial arts. Although he was sweating, he still kept up with the team and did not fall behind.


    As they ran from the urban area to the suburbs, the surrounding scenery gradually changed from


    high- rise buildings to rural forests, and the air was a little fresher. The crowd took a deep breath,


    and their fatigue seemed to disappear with the fresh air.


    After walking some distance, they arrived at the foot of Old Dragon Mountain.


    Here, the team stopped because the martial arts school''s route was not the regr one, but a steep


    route that people rarely took. It was much more difficult than the ordinary route.


    It was also why the school chose this path as training for the students.


    Of course, in addition to exercise, safety was emphasised as well.


    After getting detailed instructions, the team marched forward again.


    In the beginning, the march was pretty smooth. However, as the team entered the forest, the roads


    slowly disappeared and everyone slowed down.


    The undeveloped mountain path was very small and rocky. In addition, the presence of weeds and


    branches along the way made the journey more difficult.


    Fade watched the whole journey hidden in sight. If there was no danger, he would not appear.


    When they were halfway up the mountain, the sky was already getting dark.


    The team stopped immediately and began to set up camp to rest for the night.


    Although it was the first time camping for many students, everything was done smoothly since


    preparations were made in advance. They managed to settle down properly before nightfall.


    After checking on everyone''s safety, Fade found a tent to rest in.


    With that, everyone retired for the night.


    However, Fade was woken up by Pablo in the middle of the night.


    Fade looked at him and could not help asking, "Pablo, what''s the matter?"


    Pablo looked at Fade with some embarrassment and said, "Mr. Chen, I didn''t mean to wake you up.


    It''s just that there''s something wrong."


    "It''s okay. Tell me, what''s going on?" Fade asked as he was immediately awake by the possibility of


    danger.


    Pablo said, "I got up and went to the toilet. I saw a sh of light somewhere on the mountain and


    heard some people calling for help."


    Hearing this, Fade paused and said, "You mean someone is in danger on the mountain?"


    Pablo nodded and said, "I think so. The mountain road is already rugged and difficult to walk.


    Besides, it''s November and the weather is getting cold. If someone is really trapped on the


    mountain, it will be very difficult for them to survive the cold at night. I want to go and have a look."


    Fade understood what Pablo meant. He nodded and said, "Okay. I''ll go with you to have a look."


    Pablo''s face lit up instantly as he said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."


    Fade immediately woke Tom up just to inform him of his momentary absence. Then he took his


    equipment and went up the mountain with Pablo.


    Since it was possible that someone might be in danger, Fade grabbed Pablo and moved quickly.


    Within ten minutes, Fade and Pablo arrived at their destination.


    They slowed down. Soon, they saw a sh of light hundreds of metres in front of them. The voices


    of people talking could also be heard louder and clearer now.


    Both of them quickly walked over.


    Soon, they saw a few figures in climbing gear moving something that was stuck in a ravine. At the


    same time, there were also groans of paining from the ravine.


    Fade asked, "Is everyone ok?"


    When they heard the voice, the people were shocked. Their faces were lit with joy when they saw


    Fade and Pablo. They eximed, "Finally! Someone''s here to save us! We''re going to be alright."


    Then, several people climbed up from the ravine. They rushed towards Fade and were shouting.

    "Are you from town? Please save us."


    "Some people in our team are injured with broken legs. Some of them are bleeding out because of


    punctured blood vessels."


    "Is it just the two of you? What about the other people in the rescue team?"


    There were two people lying in the gully, groaning in pain and visibly suffering from the agony.


    When they saw this, Fade and Pablo walked towards the bottom of the ravine and asked, "What''s


    going on?"


    The people quickly exined to them what had happened.


    It turned out they were from an outdoor activities club in Long City. They loved sports and


    adventures, and often gathered to participate in activities and grouppetitions.


    This time, they were going to have apetition again. However, they had been to most ces in


    Long City, so someone proposed Old Dragon Mountain as a venue for theirpetition.


    Since it was an exploration, they couldn''t take the normal route up the mountain. Instead, they


    chose this remote road as a challenge for themselves to reach the peak.


    However, they realised that the situation was much moreplicated than they expected at the


    very beginning of the hike. Along the way, they encountered a lot of problems and troubles,


    dispiriting them and slowing their progress.


    Nevertheless, the leader of the team decided to continue the hike in the dark since it was still a


    competition.


    As a result, tragedy struck. Due to nightfall, the rugged mountainous road and rugged grass, the


    road was very difficult to walk on. Furthermore, the leader was hasty. He identally slipped and


    fell into the ravine and broke his leg.


    At the same time, he dragged the deputy leader and the two of them fell together. Thetter cut his


    leg badly and they were currently suffering from severe blood loss.


    Given the critical situation, they could only send a distress signal in hopes of rescue.


    Perhaps the ce was too remote or the management did not notice their signal for help. Either


    way, a few hours had passed and no one hade to their help.


    Just as they were anxious and close to losing all hope of survival, Fade and Pablo


    appeared.


    It was no wonder that they were so thrilled to see Fade and Pablo just now.
