"Additionally, I must remind everyone that when we go up the mountain later, you must follow right behind me. Do not fall behind, as the conditions on the mountain are quite complex, and I do not wish to incur any losses. Understand?"
After listening to He Honggang's words, everyone walked over to the pile of boxes to select their climbing gear. Because the summit was snow-capped and the temperatures were low, aside from essential gear, He Honggang also prepared thick climbing jackets for everyone.
Once they were all geared up, Ling Chen, carrying a backpack, followed He Honggang to the foot of the western side of Qiu Nanshan. It was clear that this wasn't He Honggang's first time here; his actions were very practiced, and he was very familiar with the route up the mountain. Following his footsteps, everyone quickly climbed to a point three hundred meters up Qiu Nanshan. From there, the entire small town could be seen.
