Chapter 1038
“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

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.
“You moron.” Captain Anderson jumped in the hole and hugged him.
Using the last of his strength to pat him on the back, Richard replied, “Don‘t worry, Captain Anderson. I–I won‘t let
your mission fail...” He fainted after saying those words.

“Captain Lloyd!”
“It‘s fine. He just fainted. Carry him quickly to the car and bring him back”
Captain Anderson looked at him being taken away, and remarked, “You really are one tough young man.”
They kept Richard warm in the car while administering first aid to him, and the entire team was discussing him. He
had a vivid dream. It began when he drifted in and out of consciousness while buried in snow, and this dream was
the only thing keeping him alive. In the dream, a woman smiled and kept calling out to him.
“Richard, you can do it! You must come back!”
“I‘m waiting for you, Richard! Don‘t you die on me!”
“Richard...”
It was the sound of Angela‘s voice.She would constantly smile at him, and at one moment, she would cry and beg
him to come to her. Her words gave him strength while he was buried deep beneath the snow. Little by little, he
climbed. Even though he was on the brink of death, he forced himself to stay alive so that he could see her again.
Whatever he promised her, he was going to keep it.
Midway through the drive, Richard experienced a high fever and fell unconscious. When he was in such a state of
delirium, everyone could hear him mumble, “Angela!”
