By the end of December, East Sea had fully entered winter. Although the temperature was not as cold as in the north, the unique damp cold of the south was unbearable, especially under the precipitation of rain and snow. The cold went straight to their bones.
The morning had been a clear sunny day, yet by eleven o'clock, sleet began to fall unexpectedly, and a wild wind was raging, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.
Hidden in a thicket off Cloud Mountain Highway leading to the expressway, Du Yidao, who had narrowly escaped death, carried Chu Ge on his back. Concealed by the thicket, they lay in wait.
Earlier, he had jumped down from a waterfall with Chu Ge in his arms, plunging into the pool below. Their clothes were entirely soaked. As the cold wind blew, parts of them began to freeze, becoming icy and bone-chilling.
Not only him, but Chu Ge was in the same condition.
