Chapter 873 We Might Need a Thermal Imaging Device
At this moment, Harper had regained some of her composure. She thanked
Joe and Charlotte, saying, “Thank you for being willing to help. Although
Samuel can be mischievous at times, he’s not a bad kid at heart…”
She choked up again but managed to hold back the tears.
She knew that, as a mother, she had to stay calm. Losing her composure
would only increase the danger for Samuel.
Charlotte took the initiative to hold Joe’s hand, and they followed Harper to
the spot where Samuel had gone missing.
The expedition leader and a few others, along with Noah, were already
waiting at the scene. When Noah saw Harper, Charlotte, and Joe approach,
he understood the situation, and his expressions darkened.
Enter title…
Their last glimmer of hope seemed to fade away.
Upon seeing this, the expedition leader patted Noah on the shoulder and

take them some time to arrive. For now, we can only search the nearby area.
We don’t want to risk getting ourselves into trouble while trying to save him.”
As he gave instructions, he distributed walkie-talkies to everyone present.
Harper and Noah suddenly bowed deeply to express their gratitude. Noah’s
voice trembled as he spoke, “We don’t know what words of thanks to offer
right now, truly…”
Overcome with emotion, Noah choked back tears. He, a tall and sturdy man,
was on the verge of crying.
Everyone present, most of whom were parents themselves, fully understood
the emotions they were going through.
A blond, blue-eyed man stepped forward and patted Noah on the shoulder
before heading towards the rocky terrain.
Following him, each person offered a word or two of comfort as they passed
Noah, then dispersed in all directions.
Charlotte and Joe didn’t separate; they walked together towards the glacier
on the left.
Behind their specialized sunglasses, they scanned the surroundings. All they
could see was a vast expanse of white, with no traces of Samuel anywhere.
They dared not wander too far and instead climbed to a higher point to look
into the distance. However, all they saw were endless icebergs, not even a
single penguin in sight.
Charlotte grew weary and found a random ice rock to sit on. She
absentmindedly kicked at the fluffy snow beneath her feet.
“Do you think we can find that child?” Charlotte asked with a hint of
despondency.
As time passed, the longer the child stayed outside, the more dangerous it
became.
Although it was currently the time of perpetual daylight, who could guarantee
that no accidents would happen during the day?
Charlotte became increasingly restless as she thought about it, and she
unconsciously applied more force with her feet.

surface and the thin layer of ice, revealing a crevice in the glacier.
When she saw this crevice about the thickness of a baby’s arm, a glimmer of
hope flashed in Charlotte’s mind.
What if Samuel hadn’t hidden somewhere but had fallen into a crevice like
this?
Their current search method would be utterly ineffective if that were the case.
Charlotte immediately stood up, her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at
Joe. “We might need a thermal imaging device.”
Joe quickly relayed Charlotte’s idea to the expedition leader and the others,
and they didn’t deny the possibility.
However, the ship had limited equipment, and providing everyone with such a
device wasn’t feasible. They decided to place them in each unoccupied room
on the ship randomly.
Charlotte and Joe discussed the situation and decided to retrieve a thermal
imaging device to search beneath the glacier.
