Snow mountains are different from other places. The temperature here is extremely low. Even if you just faint, it is a very dangerous thing. Moreover, the terrain of snow mountains is complex, with snow pits and caves, and they are covered with snow all year round. Once you accidentally fall into such an inconspicuous place, it will be quite troublesome to find you.
The scariest thing is that there are quite a few cliffs near the snow-capped mountains...
Seeing Han Zhou's serious expression, Xiao Yuyan realized the seriousness of the situation, but she couldn't think of any solution, so she could only comfort him: "There's no need to think that the situation is so bad. Mo Yixia can't have gone too far. With so many of us looking together, we've covered all directions, and we'll definitely find her... Think about it, maybe someone has found her now?"
"Ah."
Han Zhou didn't say anything depressing like "I hope so". He nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said, "Let's keep looking."
……
The wind grew louder.
From the moment he confirmed that Mo Yixia was missing, Han Zhou had been thinking about how to find her in the shortest possible time.
Although Xiao Yuyan said that people were searching in all directions, he did not feel relieved. He did not forget that the two directions of going up the mountain and going down the mountain were temporarily excluded from the search range.
The reason why Brother Wang ruled out these two directions was simple, that is, it was impossible for a normal person to go up the mountain alone, let alone go down the mountain alone. However, in fact, it was impossible for a normal person to disappear inexplicably after going to the toilet, not to mention that the person was Mo Yixia.
The reason why Han Zhou didn't say much at the time was because he also thought that the probability of Mo Yixia appearing in these two directions was relatively lower.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
In the following time, Han Zhou and Xiao Yuyan searched along the gentle slope. They searched for more than ten minutes but did not see any human figure.
As the search range became farther and farther, Han Zhou's hope gradually dimmed. In his opinion, the possibility of Mo Yixia appearing in the east of the base camp was very low.
There were large expanses of snow to the east, but it wasn't enough to make people get lost. Mo Yixia hadn't been missing for long, so even if she walked, she wouldn't have walked far. If they could have found her, they would have found her long ago.
Xiao Yuyan took out her phone and checked the time. She looked worried and glanced at Han Zhou cautiously: "Do you want to keep looking?"
"no need."
Han Zhou shook his head, and the hot air from his mouth dissipated, making his expression look unclear.
"How about we keep looking?" Xiao Yuyan said unwillingly.
"If you look for it again you won't be able to get back in time. Don't make others worry."
"Yes, maybe others have already found it..."
Xiao Yuyan said something in a low voice, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or Han Zhou.
Han Zhou remained silent. He didn't think of pinning his hopes on others. The two of them searched around for a while and then started to turn back.
No one spoke along the way and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Xiao Yuyan thought Han Zhou was in a bad mood because he didn't find anyone, so she held the flashlight and didn't dare to talk to him. But in fact, Han Zhou was not as disappointed as she thought, he was just lost in thought.
If he wanted to find Mo Yixia quickly, he certainly couldn't rely on realistic factors. He realized this when he was halfway through the search, and at the same time began to think about the possibility of locking Mo Yixia's position by relying on his status.
However, although the status bar is beyond reality, at least it does not have a positioning function now, and the status assigned can mostly only affect Han Zhou himself and cannot affect external objects.
At present, the only state of him that can provide some help in finding Mo Yixia is only one, and this help is very small, at most it can only play a role in increasing the "luck value" a little bit -
[Professional Status: Passionate Youth: You are a passionate youth who acts bravely for justice. After the status is turned on, all attributes will be slightly improved. Good deeds may be rewarded more easily in your body. You can turn it on and off at any time]
"Hot-blooded young man" did not have the effect of increasing luck, but the description of "good deeds will be rewarded, perhaps it will be more likely to be reflected in you" had more or less some meaning in this regard. With the idea that something is better than nothing, Han Zhou almost always stayed in this state, just thinking that maybe he would get lucky someday.
This bit of luck was certainly not enough for him to find Mo Yixia, but now was the time to try his luck.
Han Zhou was thinking about the possibility of refreshing the random state.
His current random state is "leave it to fate", which is a very practical state. He has kept it for a long time, and he is a little reluctant to refresh it. But as long as he can find Mo Yixia in time, it doesn't matter if he gives up this state.
It should be noted that Han Zhou did not leave everything to luck. In fact, he had already realized that almost everything provided by the status bar, including the mall items, was useful to him at this stage.
Otherwise, if the initial fixed state of "dying" was changed to "in imminent danger" or "incurable", he might not be able to finish high school alive.
There is also the subsequent "Leave it to fate", which appears at the exact time when the bell sound is needed. Although how to modify the status depends on Han Zhou himself, this still shows to a certain extent that there is a certain bias in the randomness of the status bar.
This bias will be based on his current situation and will work in his favor.
However, Han Zhou didn't think too long before giving up the idea of refreshing the random status.
As mentioned before, the abilities currently granted by the status bar can only work on himself. Unless given a status similar to the sense of smell of a police dog, the new status will most likely not be able to provide effective help in finding Mo Yixia. Moreover, in the subsequent search process, he may need to rely on "obeying fate" to enhance his vision and hearing, and cannot give up this status easily.
It is worth mentioning that Han Zhou had tried to enhance his sense of smell before setting off, trying to find Mo Yixia by smell, but unfortunately, "leaving it to fate" could not give him a sense of smell comparable to that of a police dog.
It seems that refreshing the status doesn't work... Is it possible to work on the skills?
Han Zhou changed his mind. He remembered that there was a pill in the mall that could refresh skills. After using it, he could refresh a skill randomly. However, he quickly gave up this idea as well, for a similar reason as refreshing a random status.
Speaking of the mall, Han Zhou remembered that there was an item this month that could actively refresh the mall. Judging from the tendency of the status bar to refresh items, if the mall was refreshed now, would there be a product in the mall that could help find people?
Han Zhou's eyes lit up.
and many more……
The next second, as if he suddenly thought of something, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he slapped his forehead, cursing himself for being slow and stupid.
"How could I forget these two things..."
Yes, there is absolutely no need to refresh the mall.
At this moment, he finally remembered two mall items that he had ignored for a long time.
At that time, since he did not have enough points and did not want to be a master of time management, he regarded these two items as props to gain points from the beginning and did not take them too seriously.
These two items were not updated this month, but originated from last month——
[Unlockable Character Detector: A one-time item. After use, it will automatically screen the unlockable characters within a radius of ten kilometers and obtain their name information. If the distance to any unlockable character is less than one kilometer, the detector will issue a prompt. The price is 15 points.]
[Detection Radar: A one-time item that must be used with an unlockable character detector. Once activated, it will continuously display the real-time location of all unlockable characters within a radius of ten kilometers for ten minutes. The price is 15 points.]
He quickly spent ten points to open the retention mall. After confirming the attributes of the products in the mall, Han Zhou was so excited that he scared Xiao Yuyan beside him.
Real-time location within a ten-kilometer radius...
Yes, this is it!

Chapter 193 Detection Radar
Now that he had found a way to determine Mo Yixia's location, Han Zhou naturally did not hesitate and immediately spent thirty points to redeem an unlockable character detector and a detection radar.
These two items are not physical and can be used directly. He only felt that his vision suddenly became strange, his sight blurred for a moment, and then a motionless red dot appeared in his field of vision.
...It really works!
Although there is no additional information except a lone red dot, it is enough.
This red dot is a bit like the precise punctuation in the game, except that it can ignore spatial distance and can even appear outside the field of vision through obstacles. The height, distance and nearness give people a very intuitive feeling. Even people with a poor sense of direction can accurately lock the position of the red dot.
Fortunately, not too far...
Han Zhou's eyes brightened. Unless a second unlockable character other than Mo Yixia appeared on this snowy mountain, the location marked by the red dot would be Mo Yixia's current location.
"Han Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Han Zhou's expression that suddenly became excited, Xiao Yuyan on the side was a little confused. Is now the time to be happy?
Han Zhou did not explain, but immediately quickened his pace, his steps getting faster and faster, and finally became almost running speed: "Sister Yuyan, hurry up, let's go back!"
The reason why he didn't use full speed was because he was worried that Xiao Yuyan couldn't keep up.
However, despite taking this into consideration, he obviously underestimated himself and overestimated Xiao Yuyan. Even at this jogging speed, Xiao Yuyan's current physical strength was a bit too much for him.
"Wait for me, don't run so fast!"
Xiao Yuyan gritted her teeth and followed Han Zhou. She was soon exhausted. Her chest heaved violently. She asked breathlessly, "What...what happened...why are you so anxious all of a sudden..."
She knew that Han Zhou was worried about Mo Yixia, but the other party had not been so anxious as to run wildly before.
Seeing Xiao Yuyan gasping for breath due to exhaustion, Han Zhou had to slow down his pace and said in a slightly urgent tone: "I roughly know where Yixia is. We need to go find her right now."
"Really?" Xiao Yuyan's eyes widened in disbelief. "But how did you know..."
"Guessed it."
Han Zhou was vague in his response. Seeing that the other party was so tired that he could hardly breathe, he had to slow down again. However, he was anxious in his heart. This was too slow and he had to speed up.
The red dot in his sight remained motionless, which made it hard for him not to have some bad associations.
The reason why the red dot was motionless was probably because Mo Yixia had lost her ability to move, or had lost consciousness. Regardless of the reason, it was enough to explain one thing—
Mo Yixia's situation is not good.
Han Zhou became more and more worried. He suddenly stopped and said decisively, "Sister Yuyan, how about I carry you on my back?"
Although his tone was inquiring, his attitude was quite firm.
"what?"
Xiao Yuyan stopped walking. She couldn't run any longer. She rested her hands on her knees and panted heavily. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, "Why?"
"I have to find Yixia right now, but I can't leave you here alone. We will be able to move faster if I carry you on my back."
Han Zhou spoke very quickly, and he was almost about to say "You run too slowly".
He was indeed in a hurry, not only because he needed to find Mo Yixia quickly, but also because the detection radar was only effective for ten minutes.
In fact, he could just leave first and let Xiao Yuyan return to the base camp alone. After all, the road was easy to walk on and she wouldn't get lost. But he also knew that Xiao Yuyan was timid and it would be difficult for her to walk alone at night, so he couldn't just leave her here.
Besides, the other party mustered up the courage to accompany him to look for someone out of kindness. Leaving the other party behind and leaving first would not only be unkind, but it would also be even more troublesome if something unexpected happened because of his leaving early.
Han Zhou had already made up his mind. He immediately took Xiao Yuyan back to the base camp and asked her to stay there and wait and notify others, while he went to find Mo Yixia as quickly as possible.
The red dot representing Mo Yixia never moved, which made him more and more uneasy. Therefore, he did not plan to wait until others came back before setting off, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
Looking at Han Zhou's serious expression, Xiao Yuyan could understand his urgency, but she was inevitably confused: "Are you really sure you can find Mo Yixia?"
Han Zhou's current behavior is completely different from before, as if he suddenly knew Mo Yixia's location, and seemed to have a premonition that the other party was in a bad situation, so he was so anxious.
But even if I really guessed something, I wouldn't be so sure, right?
She was puzzled by this.
"I can only say that I have a certain degree of certainty."
Han Zhou did not explain. Even if he wanted to, he could not explain. His first priority now was to find Mo Yixia. Some abnormalities were bound to be exposed, and he could not care about so many things for the time being. He planned to make up a more appropriate reason later.
"I see."
After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yuyan nodded hesitantly, opened her hands a little embarrassedly, and said awkwardly, "I may be a little heavy..."
