Warmth from companions!
Although it may sound a bit cliché, it is still an effective method!
If I were to do it myself, I would definitely be suspected of having ulterior motives!
But it’s okay, aren’t there still three other girls?
Saving people is most important!
"I need you all to hug each other now and use your body heat to provide warmth for Guo'er!"
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "Well, that could work, I'll go first!"
Lin Qianqian blushed and said, "Class monitor, please let me go first. If it can save Guo'er, I don't mind hugging her."
Ning Shu frowned: "You just want to take advantage of her!"
Lu Zhe added: "It would be best to have two people, one in front and one behind, so that we can preserve her body heat to the greatest extent possible!"
"Then there's no need to fight over it. Qianqian, you be in front and I'll be behind."
Lin Qianqian blushed, "I look forward to helping Guo’er together with the class monitor!"
Ning Shu wrinkled her brows: "Qianqian, I feel like something is off about you!"
"No way!"
Lin Qianqian and Ning Shu hugged Tang Xiaoguo tightly, one in front and one behind, using their body heat to provide warmth to their companion!
Sure enough, Tang Xiaoguo's condition seemed to improve somewhat.
Jiang Yao said, "What should I do then?"
While changing the water and sand, Lu Zhe said, "Yao Yao, you just keep resting. If I need your help I’ll call you!"
Jiang Yao thought about it and sat down beside Lu Zhe: "I think I might have slept too much during the day and now I’m having trouble sleeping! Let me help you!"
Before Lu Zhe could respond, she was already pitching in to help!
With her assistance, the speed at which Lu Zhe heated up stones and refilled bottles increased significantly!
Soon, another round of hot water bottle replacements was completed!
Lu Zhe handed the last two hot water bottles to Jiang Yao, “Thanks for your hard work, go rest!"
"Hey, Zhe Zhe is not a stranger! Why are you being so polite with me!"
As she said this, she placed the two water bottles under Tang Xiaoguo’s feet and sat down next to Lu Zhe herself: “To be honest, Little Zhe, I feel like your body is quite warm. Would you mind letting me lean on you for a bit!"
Lu Zhe knew that the system had enhanced his physique. Even on cold nights like this, heat radiated continuously from his body!
So he didn’t mind Jiang Yao “mooching” off some warmth!
"We’re the best partners, of course I don’t mind! Go ahead!"
Lu Zhe generously patted his shoulder.
Jiang Yao smiled charmingly, clutched Lu Zhe's arm lightly, and rested her head gently on his shoulder!
Just like a young couple!
Facing the fire, neither of them spoke.
But after a while, Lu Zhe noticed that Jiang Yao was sobbing silently at some point!
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"It’s nothing!"
Jiang Yao sniffled softly and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, "I’m just so moved seeing everyone working together to save Guo’er! I guess...while I was asleep, everyone must have also desperately tried to save me too!"
This was the first time Lu Zhe had seen Jiang Yao be so sentimental.
But it was normal too. In the face of such a huge disaster, it is inevitable that one’s mentality would undergo some changes!
"Lu Zhe, do you think...will all the other passengers die too?"
Lu Zhe sighed!
To be frank, since waking up until now, he hadn’t yet seriously pondered this issue!
It wasn’t because he was lazy to think about it, but rather he didn’t dare think about it!
He was afraid that the results from such contemplation would induce excessive anguish which would demolish his will to survive!
And now, Jiang Yao had asked the question!
Lu Zhe could only shake his head: "Actually...I don't know either!"
"But there were so many passengers on the plane, why did only a few of us survive..."
"You’re right, now that I think about it, it was only our class..."
Speaking to this point, Lu Zhe suddenly realized something!
He contemplated, "Strange, according to common sense! We should have encountered different passengers, some who survived and some who perished!"
Jiang Yao nodded, "Could it be...just because we were seated in first class?"
Originally quite a ridiculous statement, but it set Lu Zhe's mind racing as he turned to look at Jiang Yao, "Don't speak too soon, that may really be the case!"
As it turned out, the summer camp organized by the school already had a seven-year history.
The 16 universities in the Tai District were sister schools, jointly organizing an annual international academic summer camp during graduation season.
A few dozen student representatives from each university participated in various academic and physical competitions.
As one of the top graduating classes in Magic Capital University of Technology, 5 students with good grades and temperament were selected as representatives every year.
And this time, due to flight problems resulting in a shortage of 5 seats, the 50 students from other classes had taken a flight to Kangaroo Island on June 9th, while the 5 students from the finance class could only take the June 10 flight.
Back then, the beautiful flight attendant had said, "To compensate for the flight disruption, we have upgraded your seats to first class for free!"
The few students had initially thought they could lie back in leather recliners, sip coffee, and leisurely make their way to the destination.
But who would have guessed, it was this cabin that ruptured a massive hole midflight...
Lu Zhe nodded, “So it’s possible that only the few of us were ejected from the plane! The rest may not have been!”
"That’s possible!" Jiang Yao pondered and added, "Then, if only the first class cabin was breached, would the rest of the people still make it to the destination with the plane?"
Lu Zhe contemplated for a moment before shaking his head, “Let alone whether the plane could regain its original altitude, even if it could, a plane with a rupture due to decompression and impact would be extremely likely to split apart!"
"So does that mean they have no chance of survival?"
Lu Zhe reconsidered, "Not necessarily! If the plane makes an emergency landing at sea. Because the plane's overall structure is relatively lightweight, seawater would not immediately gush in from that upper hole at an angle. So if rescue personnel arrive in time, everyone on the plane would be saved!"
Jiang Yao sighed, “Do you think we were lucky or unlucky!"
Lu Zhe laughed, “Lucky I guess.....”
Indeed, while there was still a slight probability for the final speculation to occur, the likelihood was infinitesimal!
It was equally possible for everyone onboard to end up dead at sea!
Lu Zhe’s words provided Jiang Yao some comfort. A faint smile emerged on her cheek.
Leaning against Lu Zhe, she adjusted into a more comfortable position and gradually fell asleep!
Fearing she might catch a chill, Lu Zhe held her closer!
Under the moonlight, Jiang Yao’s fair and pretty face stirred Lu Zhe’s heart!
