This side.
Viola Thompson took a sip of hot tea and took a deep breath of satisfaction.
If only she could have a cup of Milk Tea at this moment, it would be even better.
After breakfast, the group dismantled the shelter, extinguished the fire, and set off for the summit.
A helicopter was waiting for them at the top.
Reaching the summit meant completing the assessment.
The road to the summit was not easy.
When they reached two-thirds of the way, snowflakes began to flutter in the air.
The temperature also plummeted.
The air was thin.
The group faced tremendous pressure as they moved against the wind.
They had to take breaks after walking a certain distance.
Annie set down her backpack.
And sat on the ground to rest.
At that moment, she noticed a shortcut and immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go that way!”
Mila turned her head to look.
“It does seem to be much closer.”
York didn’t give his opinion and just looked at Viola.
“Captain, what do you think?” Annie knew that everyone was listening to Viola now.
Viola just looked in the direction Annie was pointing, then pulled out the topographic map the school had given her.
A moment later, she analyzed, “Although it looks closer that way, it is directly facing the northwest direction, and the wind speed is at least 45 meters/second. There is also the possibility of an avalanche. Although this side takes a bit longer, it is safer because it is sheltered from the wind.”
Hearing this, Annie frowned slightly.
Actually, Viola’s purpose was simple.
Viola just wanted to deny her.
Because she discovered the shortcut.
Viola feared that she would steal her spotlight.
Annie tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and continued, “Captain Viola, that’s just your guess. Without trying it out, how could you know there will be an avalanche?”
After her words, Annie said, “As far as I know, the probability of an avalanche happening is very low. If we go that way, we can at least save half of the time.”
Viola’s expression remained the same, and she continued, “We can determine the wind speed by observing the surrounding vegetation. Even if there is no avalanche, it’s difficult to move forward at a wind speed of 45 meters/second. So instead of taking such a risk, it’s better to take the current route. By my calculation, at our current pace, we can reach the summit in less than four hours!”
Mila joined in, “Viola is right, the most important thing for us now is to pass the competition, not to save time by taking risks. We shouldn’t take the risk.”
The other three also nodded.
Annie listened to these words, anger simmering in her eyes and heart.
It was deliberate.
Viola did it on purpose.
Viola just didn’t want her to steal her thunder.
Such a selfish person.
“Captain Viola, I admit you are a good leader. Otherwise, we couldn’t have made it this far.” Annie looked at Viola and continued, “But you can’t be dictatorial and outright reject a team member’s suggestion just because of that.”
With that, Annie stood up and started walking to the other side, “Fine, you won’t go, right? Then I’ll go that way alone!”
As soon as she finished, Annie turned and left.
“Annie!” Mila stood up as well.
“Annie, don’t be impulsive!” York and Puda walked in front of Annie.
Annie was furious, “Whatever decision you make is your business, it has nothing to do with me. I want to go this way today, and you have no right to interfere with my decision.”
She just wanted everyone to know.
That Viola’s only goal was to deny her!
York frowned, “Annie, we are a team now! Now is not the time for you to be willful!”
“York, I know what I am doing. I don’t need you to remind me.” Annie continued, “If you insist, you can go your way, and I’ll go mine, and we’ll meet at the summit.”
York looked at Viola.
Viola put on her backpack, “Then let’s take the route Annie suggested.”
Annie was taken aback.
She didn’t expect Viola to agree suddenly.
According to Viola’s logic, she should refuse all along.
But after she finished, Viola continued, “However, everyone must be prepared. Although this route is shorter, it is much more dangerous.”
She didn’t mind.
When she led ten students across the world’s highest peak years ago, Annie and the others were still playing with mud on the ground.
Annie snorted in her heart, putting on an act.
Viola said this simply because she wanted everyone to back down.
Annie continued, “Captain Viola, rest assured, no matter how dangerous the road ahead, we will persevere.”
