Captain Anderson and his men were escorting Albert to the car to rest before the avalanche. Then they

heard a big commotion, and everyone instantly ran in search of a safe shelter to stay in.

“Captain Anderson, is there an earthquake?”

“No. It’s an avalanche.” He concluded based on the sound before he said, “Oh no, Richard had landed

close to the avalanche.”

His troops chased him as he ran recklessly toward the direction of the avalanche. Then, they saw the

valley had been buried by snow, leaving only a little ridge visible. “Richard!” Captain Anderson shouted

loudly. Anxious, he was unable to determine his last known location.

“In our assessment, Richard should have landed somewhere near there…” When one of the men

pointed in the direction, all they saw was a snowy meadow, leaving them with heavy hearts.

A person’s chances of survival were minimal in an avalanche. Even if they were still alive, they were

buried beneath the snow.

“Grab the equipment. Get his location, quick! We must rescue Richard!” Captain Anderson yelled and

instructed his men, “Drop whatever you’re doing and join with the rescue. He must still be alive. I don’t

think he’s dead for a second. He’s tougher than any of us.” The team grabbed the equipment and

began looking for his location.

“Captain Anderson, I believe Richard is buried quite deep. Nothing is detected by the sensor. Captain

Lloyd might be…” The team member could not continue his conversation since he was upset that the

device was not getting any signals.

“Just continue. Carry the sensor with you as you go. Richard must be in this location.” Because Captain

Anderson had told the vice-president that they would return in one piece, he was unwilling to give up

even the slightest possibility of survival.

The team members began to walk around the area while holding the sensor. Even though their fingers

and toes were numb from the cold, they kept going.

Captain Anderson had been shot in the shoulder during the gunfight. He felt depressed just now,

partially kneeling on the ground, and wished he could at least catch a glimpse of Richard’s body.

However, due to the lack of news, Captain Anderson would be unable to return Richard’s body home.

He punched the snow ground as tears welled up in his eyes. “Richard Lloyd, you’re a moron. Everyone

thinks you’re divine, yet you’re still human in the end. How could you have died at such an early age?”

Everyone fell silent when they saw their captain break down, knowing that Richard’s chances of

survival were close to none.

Nobody could possibly survive an avalanche. In fact, he leaped from a helicopter tens of meters above

the ground. Even if a person was physically fit, their legs would surely hurt.

“Don’t be like this, Captain Anderson. Captain Lloyd is our hero and we all respect him.” One of the

team members comforted Captain Anderson.

“If we want to find him, we’ll need an excavation. Otherwise…” Another team member became

distraught for a little moment.

Captain Anderson punched the ground again, obviously in deep sadness. Then, a team member

yelled, “There’s a signal here!

There’s a signal!”

They all raced over when they noticed a weak continuous signal from the sensor, indicating that it was

Richard.

Captain Anderson ordered, “Dig fast!”

Some team members went back and grabbed shovels; those who could move around dug based on

the signal displayed in the sensor. Finally, they dug about half a meter before a hand emerged from the

snow, which made everyone cheer.

They continued searching until half of Richard’s body was exposed. He looked like a warrior in the

snow with an invincible spirit, breaking free from the terrible situation.
