Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

But they passed through successfully with the help of the four of them.

Having arrived at their post smoothly, Xiao Yan, who was under immense pressure due to a heavy sense of responsibility, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the three of them with a smile, "From now on, we'll be staying here to conduct irregular patrols until our shift changes tomorrow morning."

"Let's find a good spot to set up camp first."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan put down the bulging backpack he had been carrying and tried to take out the folded tent from it.

Su Hao suddenly spoke up: "No need, I have a way to build a temporary shelter that can better protect us from the wind and snow."

After saying that, Su Hao called Diancie out of the luxury sphere and asked, "It's still the same rock house as before, but it's a bit wider."

Under the puzzled gazes of the three, Su Hao casually picked up a twig, marked out the ideal area in the snow, and then said to Diancie, "This size is fine."

Diancie nodded with a smile, her aura spreading outwards without any attempt to conceal it.

A slight tremor ran through the ground.

A spacious rock house, about 100 square meters in size and painted in a color close to that of snow, slowly took shape under the exquisite energy control of Tianshina.

Zhao Yunlan's eyes lit up, and he strode to the rock house, looking it over from all angles with an expression of amazement: "Holy crap...that's amazing!"

Xia Xiaoguang was a bit more composed than him, but shock still lingered on his face.

The intensity of the aura that Diancie unconsciously emitted when building the Rock House... was at the late-stage professional level!

Damn it, did Su Hao's Pokémon level increase by taking a powerful growth serum?

Outrageous!

In that case, it wouldn't take another year.

This year, Su Hao will be able to team up with Li Xiao and, with the assistance of Captain Mu Yao, compete for that crown!

Upon seeing the rock house, Xiao Yan was also momentarily shocked, but he was more concerned about the subtle changes in the weather along the way.

The snow... seems to be falling heavier and heavier?

Articulated Bird.

Chapter 402 Cry for Help

The firewood crackled and popped as it burned, and the blazing flames brought warmth to the four people in the cold weather.

"Probably due to the blizzard, the walkie-talkies are temporarily unusable, which means our communication with the base has been temporarily cut off."

Xiao Yan fiddled with the black walkie-talkie in his hand, which was about the size of a mobile phone, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Zhao Yunlan said with some concern, "We're alright, thanks to this sturdy rock house which has shielded us from the fierce blizzard. I wonder how the teams scattered in other places are doing."

Xia Xiaoguang exhaled a breath of hot air, moved slightly closer to the fire, and said to Zhao Yunlan, "Didn't Instructor Xiao say that the Wangguan Snowfield is terrifyingly vast, and patrol missions basically don't involve encountering other teams?"

Su Hao took out a bundle of firewood from his portable backpack, easily broke it in half with his bare hands, added it to the fire, and then continued the conversation with the three of them:

"Each team has an experienced instructor with them, so nothing serious will happen. After all, this blizzard didn't start suddenly but evolved slowly, giving us enough time to find a place to land."

“Su Hao is right. Before or during patrols, we would intentionally look for suitable places to stay to avoid the blizzard, and we also have Pokémon.”

Without looking up, Xiao Yan tried switching to a channel to communicate with other teams.

This blizzard came suddenly and seems to be quite large.

When they were halfway through their border patrol, the snow started falling harder and harder, and a cold wind even began to blow. They had no choice but to return to their rock hut and huddle inside.

Even with Pokémon around, fighting against this natural disaster is not a meaningful action.

All they can do now is try to see if the walkie-talkie can make contact with other walkie-talkies.

Having someone to chat with is also nice.

Su Hao "watched" the howling, fierce wind outside through the waveguide, as the small hailstones hit the tree trunks along with the wind and snow.

This reminded him of the blizzard that Articuno had stirred up when he first went on a trip and climbed Ice Peak to challenge the gym.

The blizzard at that time was so large that it enveloped nearby cities; people inside would be blown away immediately if they didn't hold onto something for support.

Having witnessed that truly devastating blizzard, the blizzard sweeping across the Crown Snowfield now seemed like child's play.

If it weren't for taking care of Zhao Yunlan and the other two, he could have traveled through the snowstorm on his own with his Pokémon.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Huh, it seems to have connected to a walkie-talkie channel?"

Upon hearing this, the three idle Su Hao and his companions turned their curious gazes toward the walkie-talkie in Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan adjusted the volume, turned it up to the maximum, pressed the button, and shouted in that direction, "Calling, this is the Ice Point Snowfield Patrol Team, please respond if you hear me."

"To reiterate, this is the Freezing Point Snowfield Patrol Team. Please respond."

Several seconds later, there was still no reply from the other end, and the four of them frowned deeply.

Didn't they hear me...?

Zhao Yunlan scratched his head, just trying to find a topic to talk about.

Suddenly, a series of chaotic static noises erupted, startling the people who had their ears close to the walkie-talkies, causing them to move slightly further away.

Xia Xiaoguang was startled: "What's going on!?"

"Sizzle s ...————"

"Sizzle s ...————"

"Help... there's a sphere... exploding... fireworks... sizzling..."

Suddenly, a weak, intermittent cry for help came through the walkie-talkie.

"Can you hear me...?"

"Please send the specific coordinates to the walkie-talkie!!"

Xiao Yan's expression instantly turned serious. He stared intently at the walkie-talkie in his hand, repeatedly trying to call out to the other party.

However, there was no response whatsoever.

Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang tensed up instantly, looking at Xiao Yan as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Hao frowned and pondered frantically.

Fireworks, balls, explosions.

What is this thing that has absolutely no connection between the two things?

This is what you'd expect to see in a blizzard.

West?

Xiao Yan said, "We have to go and rescue them... but we don't have specific coordinates. Finding people in this blizzard is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we might even accidentally get our team into trouble."

Su Hao added, "And we cannot rule out the possibility that criminals attacked them and used their walkie-talkies to lure people in."

Su Hao's intuition told him that this matter was probably not simple.

After a long silence, Zhao Yunlan, one of the four who didn't know where to start, couldn't help but say, "Shall we go out and try to look for it?"

Zhao Yunlan felt that being a coward was not in his nature.

But he couldn't force his teammates to put themselves in danger with him.

"Search? In this weather, visibility is completely blocked, and it's probably impossible to search from the air either."

Xia Xiaoguang frowned, pondering which Pokémon in his team could be useful in this situation.

His ace, Alakazam, can predict future moves.

Unfortunately, his Alakazam lacks the prophetic ability, so the foresight move can only be used as a simple attack move.

We are completely helpless.

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and solemnly instructed the three of them, "I'll go find it. You wait in the rock house and try to contact the base."

As a soldier, even if the three college students in front of him were trainers of similar skill, they were still just trainees.

He could accept the experience, but now that an emergency had occurred, he couldn't allow those he was supposed to protect to be exposed to danger.

Su Hao silently stood up, grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "No."

Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he tried to forcefully break free from Su Hao's hand that was firmly gripping his shoulder.

But no matter how hard he tried, the hand that was pressing down on him remained as still as an iron tower.

What are students eating to grow up these days?!

They actually overpowered me, a current border guard, with their strength!?

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Su Hao asked directly, "Is there a second walkie-talkie?"

Xiao Yan replied, "Yes, there is..."

Why did he feel his aura being suppressed by Su Hao, this college student, from the very beginning?

"Can we just guarantee communication between the two walkie-talkies?"

"Yes, that's possible, as long as you adjust the output mode and match it in advance... but you..."

As they talked, Xiao Yan guessed why Su Hao had stopped him.
