Chapter 874 I See Him!
Although they had the instrument, this area was quite extensive. Finding
someone beneath the ground in this place was like searching for a needle in
a haystack.
Charlotte and Joe had been walking for a while with no progress to report.
They were on the verge of giving up when Charlotte’s thermal imaging device
suddenly started beeping.
Charlotte immediately looked down at it and saw a small figure not far away
behind a mountain, seemingly stuck in a certain place, moving strangely.
Despite the odd movements, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.
At least it confirmed that the child was still alive.
Enter title…
She moved her gaze away from the thermal imaging device and walked
toward the direction of the iceberg. As expected, she couldn’t find the small

Charlotte decided to put on the thermal imaging device and said to Joe, “I’ll
use this device to see, and you watch over me from behind.”
Joe furrowed his brow slightly, not approving of Charlotte taking such risks.
“Maybe I should go and see…” he suggested. But Charlotte shook her head.
“Having you as my backup will make me feel safer.”
Charlotte believed that if anything went wrong, Joe would be able to rescue
her in time.
Seeing her determination, Joe didn’t say anything more. Instead, he found a
rope and tied it around both of their waists.
This way, if anything happened, he could react quickly.
Charlotte didn’t refuse Joe’s arrangement. After securing the rope, she
cautiously approached the direction of the iceberg.
Her hand was placed on the glacier wall as she moved forward slowly.
Just near the heat source, Charlotte suddenly felt her body become lighter
and fell forward, dropping down.
Joe, who had been watching her closely, reacted quickly. He immediately
anchored himself to the iceberg with an ice pick and then tightened the rope.
Charlotte also used an ice pick to secure herself to the glacier wall, stopping
her descent.
“Don’t worry! I’m fine!” After securing herself, Charlotte shouted up to the top.
Joe finally relaxed.
He was about to pull Charlotte up with all his strength when he heard her say,
“Wait! I see him!”
Charlotte looked around and realized she had fallen into a crevice between
two glaciers.
The entrance to this crevice was extremely concealed, and if she hadn’t fallen
down, it might have been impossible to find this place at all.
Samuel was just below her, not far away.
His body was firmly wedged in the crevice, his face pale, and his eyes tightly

No wonder they hadn’t heard him cry for help until now.
Charlotte thought for a moment and asked, “Can you lower me down to help
him?”
“No,” Joe firmly refused her request.
It wasn’t that he was heartless, but in this situation, he couldn’t let Charlotte
take the risk to rescue the boy.
“The team members are all professionally trained, and it’s more suitable for
them to go down than you,” Joe told Charlotte.
After considering it, Charlotte realized that Joe was right. She had no relevant
experience in rescue missions, and if she accidentally harmed Samuel during
the process, it could make things even more complicated.
So she shook the rope and said, “Then pull me up.”
Joe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Charlotte didn’t insist on going down
to rescue Samuel, everything would be fine.
His actions were swift, and he soon pulled Charlotte back up
