The pale silver Void Gate dissipated amidst the wind and snow as Li Qi, Terreda, and over a hundred members of The Shadow Division and Barbarian Warriors landed steadily on the ice field.
Not far ahead lay their destination—the third Safe House.
What was supposed to be a domed ice house now lay in ruins.
Chunks of thick ice were scattered all over the ground. Amidst the ice house's wreckage, broken metal bed frames and shattered medical boxes could be seen, with shards of glass mixed in with the ice particles, glinting coldly in the pale daylight.
The air carried a faint scent of blood, almost indistinguishable in the whipping wind and snow.
Li Qi stepped forward first, squatting down to clear away a half-meter thick piece of ice—beneath it lay a bloodied, crumpled figure, the soldier stationed at Ice Extreme Pass.
The soldier's uniform was torn, his body shattered beyond recognition, even his face unidentifiable.
