Chapter 136: Chapter 136 - 136 Reunion 1

“Uh, let’s eat.”

Greg Jensen responded casually before continuing his meal, while Lois Abbott’s face turned red in an instant.

She glared at her sister resentfully and said sternly, “Hurry up and eat. Can’t your mouth be blocked even when you’re eating?”

“Hehe, let’s eat.”

Lois chuckled and then asked while eating, “Brother, where are we going to play today?”

Greg pondered and said, “Let’s go hiking today. I’ve heard that the scenery on Misty Mountain is beautiful, and I’ve never been there before.”

Upon hearing this, Lois’s face fell, and she pouted, “Ah, hiking…”

” What, you don’t want to go? If you don’t want to, just sleep in the hotel, and your sister and I will go.”

“I want to go, who said I don’t? I love hiking the most.”

Lois, wanting to spend more time with Greg, quickly changed her tune.

After they finished eating, she followed Greg closely as they set off toward the mountain.

The Misty Mountain Resort was originally built at the foot of the mountain.

Exiting from the back of the resort, one could see a winding, rugged stone path.

The three of them walked upwards for a long time along the winding path before they reached the first rest stop.

Misty Mountain is roughly 1,500 meters high, with four rest stops in between, each featuring a shop and free benches for people to rest.

Both Lois Abbott and her sister had decent stamina; they were merely slightly out of breath after the climb.

Especially Lois, who, although she didn’t understand the Dual Cultivation Method, had her physical condition improved a lot over a long period of nourishment, much better than that of an average person.

Still, they rested several times along the way.

The two sat on a bench, fanning themselves, while Greg went to a nearby shop to replenish their supply of mineral water and chocolate.

Initially, Greg had brought seven or eight bottles of mineral water and some chocolates, and the sisters thought he was being overly cautious.

Yet before they even reached the first rest stop, they had finished all the water and chocolates.

Seeing Greg returning with a pile of stuff, Lois laughed happily, “Brother is amazing. Luckily you brought so much water and food.”

Lois Abbott rolled her eyes at her sister’s over-the-top enthusiasm and snorted, “I don’t know who it was that absolutely refused to let him bring anything at first.”

Lois giggled, “Hehe, didn’t you also think it was unnecessary then?”

Lois Abbott’s face flushed, and with a glare, she fell silent.

Seeing this, Greg quickly peeled two Snickers bars and handed them over, laughing, “Have some chocolate to replenish your energy. There are probably three more stretches like this ahead.”

“Air, that far?”

Lois groaned, “Brother, maybe we shouldn’t go after all. This mountain is just too high.”

Before she could finish, they suddenly heard shouting from a distance.

The three turned to look and saw a group of five or six young people in uniform, running up while chanting slogans.

“Stop, rest for three minutes!”

The leader was a very handsome young man in his twenties with a buzz cut, looking very spirited and of extraordinary bearing.

The others also looked affluent and were likely not children from ordinary families.

At that moment, someone in the team looked towards the leader and asked, “Adrian Wright, after we conquer Misty Mountain, we can hike into West Xinjiang, right?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hmm, I reckon it’s about time.”

Adrian Wright nodded and said, “Physically, it should be no problem. What’s important is survival and climate.

The group soon dispersed, some buying things, some heading to the bathroom, and then they each found a bench to rest on.

On the other side, Lois Abbott stared blankly at the group of people and murmured, “Wow, they are really amazing, climbing the mountain so quickly. Won’t their bodies have problems?”

Lois Abbott responded dryly, “They are professionally trained; what problems could they possibly have? You should worry about yourself instead.”

Greg Jensen smiled, glanced at the group, turned to speak, but his gaze abruptly caught a familiar figure in the corner of his eye.

He instinctively turned his head away, pretending not to see Taylor Ware.

Taylor Ware naturally saw Greg Jensen too, but remembering the incident from the night before filled her heart with disgust towards him.

“LSP!”

She muttered under her breath and went to the vendor to buy some food to replenish her energy.

Climbing up from below, the vertical ascent was three to four hundred meters, but the winding road amounted to nearly three kilometers.

Despite practicing martial arts all year round and having better physical strength than most people, the distance was still challenging for her.

Meanwhile, Greg Jensen, seeing that Taylor Ware didn’t come looking for trouble, let out a sigh of relief. Considering his attitude had been relatively normal the day before, he thought she probably wouldn’t create a problem.

After a short rest, Lois Abbott decided to continue their journey towards the mountain summit, but Lois Abbott stubbornly refused to move.

She argued, “Look at those professionals; even they haven’t moved yet. Why should we rush? Let’s rest a bit longer. If you make me go now, my body will definitely have issues.”

Lois Abbott said with feigned anger, “They ran up here without problems, so what problems could you have? I think you just don’t want to go anymore”

“Air, I really will have problems…”

Perhaps the sister’s conversation had some effect; before Lois Abbott could finish, there was a sudden commotion in the group of young masters.

“Mr. Burley, what’s wrong with you?”

“Damn, Mr. Wright, come quick, Spencer Burley has fainted.”

Adrian Wright hurried over and saw, upon closer inspection, that Spencer Burley’s eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and his breathing was even difficult.

“Could it be altitude sickness?” someone asked.

“Impossible, altitude sickness usually occurs above 2700 meters; we’re only four to five hundred meters up…”

Adrian Wright was even paler than Spencer Burley, the event had been his idea, and since Spencer Burley was an only child, any problems could mean big trouble for him.

Spencer Burley’s father would definitely come for him with a vengeance!

“Is there a doctor here?”

“Right, call 120 quickly…”

“120 can’t get here in time!”

“Just get him down the mountain first!”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Everyone was in a mess, clumsily lifting Spencer Burley, preparing to carry him down the mountain.

Just then, Taylor Ware walked over and frowned, “Don’t move him; the way you’re handling him, he might be gone before we get to the bottom. Let me take a look.”

She had trained in martial arts all year and often sparred with others, so she knew a thing or two about emergency first aid.

In desperation, Adrian Wright said gratefully, “Miss, if you can save my brother, I’ll pay you whatever you want.”

Taylor Ware’s face darkened, and she replied impatiently, “Do I look like I need your change? Get out of my way and stop causing trouble!”

“Oh, alright.”

Adrian Wright stepped aside quickly, watching anxiously.

Taylor Ware checked Spencer Burley’s pupils and then started to press on his philtrum.

However, after pressing for quite some time, not only did Spencer Burley show no response, but his complexion started turning somewhat blue.

At that moment, Greg Jensen approached and said, “Let me try.”
