During an Antarctic expedition, an avalanche struck. I desperately saved my wife, but ended up trapped forever in that frozen land. Afterwards, not seeing me, my wife mistakenly thought I had abandoned her and escaped alone. She fell into another man’s arms, saying, “Timothy, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have survived. I want to divorce him and be with you!” Later, our expedition was certified by Guinness World Records. My wife signed a contract with the Antarctic research team to be their guide for future Antarctic expeditions. However, during the Antarctic journey, another avalanche struck. My body was washed out by the snow, and the truth was suddenly exposed. My wife knelt in front of my corpse, wailing inconsolably, wishing she were dead! At the Guinness World Records award ceremony. I watched Lily Graham accept the award, smiling bitterly. Our team of five, led by me, formed an expedition group. During the Antarctic extreme night, we trekked on foot and recorded the entire phenomenon. This feat filled a gap in human historical records, thus being certified by Guinness World Records. Thinking back on this journey, dangers were everywhere. But thanks to the route I planned, we were almost at the end point. However, before I could rejoice, a massive avalanche suddenly erupted. I desperately saved Lily, but ended up permanently buried in the snow mountain myself. Now, what’s present here is my soul. A reporter at the scene asked: “Miss Graham, you’ve now become a world-renowned female explorer, and many young women look up to you as their idol. Do you have anything you’d like to say to them?” Lily looked at the camera, her eyes twinkling. “When choosing a partner, everyone must keep their eyes wide open. It’s during hardships that you see someone’s true colors.” “This trip to Antarctica also made me realize my ex-husband’s true nature. I must also thank Timothy for saving me.” Seeing this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. When Lily was rescued after the avalanche. She couldn’t find any trace of me and searched everywhere. Timothy, seeing this, added fuel to the fire, saying I had abandoned her, and even produced a video. The video showed me running away, and he also took credit for saving Lily. Lily was furious because of this and filed for divorce upon returning home. Now, a year has passed, and she has successfully regained her single status. The reporter, seeing this, asked a provocative question: “Miss Graham, as we know, you’ve just successfully divorced. Do you really have no lingering feelings for your ex-husband at all?” Hearing this, Lily’s face immediately darkened. “None! In fact, I’d like to use your cameras right now to tell him!” “Zack Quinn, when the avalanche hit, you abandoned me and ran away alone, and you’ve been hiding from me for a whole year out of guilt! Now that the divorce proceedings are over, I have nothing to do with you anymore!” Hearing this, netizens in the live stream began to condemn me. “Taking his girlfriend to Antarctica and then running away alone, how disgusting!” “Birds of a feather flock together, but each flies alone in adversity. Our ancestors weren’t wrong!” Seeing the live stream’s popularity soaring, the reporter asked another question. “After the avalanche, Mr. Quinn never appeared again. Miss Graham, is there any possibility that Mr. Quinn died in Antarctica?” Hearing this, Lily shook her head. “First of all, I have video evidence proving he ran away at that time.” “He also had a life information monitoring device on him, and I can see that he’s healthy now.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. If Lily had paid a little more attention to me, she would have discovered that I truly disappeared forever in that beautiful snowy night. At this moment, in the spotlight, Timothy came on stage and knelt on one knee in front of everyone. “Lily, from now on, let me be your husband, to protect you in times of difficulty, and to walk hand in hand with you in happiness. Will you marry me?” The whole venue erupted in cheers. Seeing this, Lily nodded vigorously, tears in her eyes. “From the moment you saved me from the avalanche, I knew you were the one destined for me!” Then, she and Timothy embraced tightly, kissing passionately. Watching this scene, my face turned pale, my heart feeling as if it had been sprinkled with broken glass.
After the proposal, the venue moved on to the next agenda. This wasn’t just a Guinness award ceremony. It was also the signing ceremony for Lily with the Antarctic research team. Afterwards, she would lead the research team members across Antarctica, exploring the extreme night phenomenon and filming a documentary about it. The signing was completed smoothly. A month later, Lily and Timothy came to meet with the research team. But when she saw one of the team members, she frowned. “Ethan Dawson, why are you here?” Ethan sneered, “I’m also a member of the research team, why shouldn’t I be here? I’m going to Antarctica to investigate the truth!” “Lily Graham, for the past year, you’ve been saying Zack abandoned you when danger struck, you said he’s still alive, but I’ve waited for him for a whole year, and he never showed up!” “You said he abandoned you so he’s hiding from you, but why would he hide from me?” Watching this scene, I sighed. Ethan was my friend, the youngest research member of the Antarctic expedition team. When I went to Antarctica, he had asked me to help collect some research samples. I never thought that while I got the samples, I would end up permanently buried in that frozen land. After my death, he was the one who cared about me the most. He had come to ask Lily about my whereabouts more than once. But he was always driven away by Lily, who even reported him for sexual harassment. He almost lost his position as a research team member because of this. Seeing this, Timothy spoke calmly: “Ethan Dawson, the route Lily and I took before was too dangerous, even we almost died in the avalanche in Antarctica.” “So this time, I’ve redesigned the route, and we won’t be following the previous one.” Hearing this, Ethan became angry, “You’re just trying to cover up the truth, Zack must have been killed by you!” Lily spoke coldly, “You may be professional in research, but when it comes to outdoor exploration, we are the professionals!” “If Zack had listened to Timothy last time, we wouldn’t have encountered the avalanche at all.” “If even he couldn’t manage, how could you?” Hearing this, I immediately felt indignant. Timothy was actually like my apprentice, having only been involved in outdoor activities for a year. If it weren’t for Lily’s strong insistence on bringing him to Antarctica, I would never have taken him. The route he designed seemed shorter and safer, but was actually full of dangers. That route not only had to pass through mountains infested with snow wolves but also cross dangerous rivers. Any accident at any point could have led to casualties in the team. The route I had planned, on the other hand, was very safe. If it weren’t for the unexpected avalanche, we wouldn’t have had any problems at all. Lily didn’t trust me, a person with ten years of outdoor experience, but instead trusted Timothy, who had only been doing outdoor activities for a year. It was really laughable. Hearing this, Professor White immediately pulled Ethan back. “Don’t worry, leave professional matters to professionals.” “We will strictly follow your route.”
Soon, under the escort of helicopters, they landed on the Antarctic ice. Lily immediately spoke: “From now on, everyone must strictly follow what Timothy and I say, to avoid accidents, understand?” The research team members all nodded. Even Ethan did the same. On the first day, they were safe on the outskirts of Antarctica. The second day was the same. However, on just the third day, problems arose. They entered the hunting grounds of a wolf pack. The male students of the research team, holding hunting rifles, were carefully guarding against the wolves. In the middle of the group, Ethan, with an unpleasant face, questioned Lily: “It’s only the third day, and we’re already being targeted by a wolf pack. According to their habits, they’ll definitely keep following us, we can’t conduct any research at all!” “How did you plan this route?” Lily also had an unpleasant expression, “This might be an accident, we didn’t know the wolf pack had migrated here.” Timothy, shrinking behind Lily, spoke timidly. “It’s okay, maybe these wolves just happened to come here by accident, we’ll keep walking for a few more days and they might leave.” Professor White spoke up, and Ethan finally gave in. On the fifth day, one of the male students fell ill and couldn’t go on. Immediately, a snow wolf charged up. Bang——! Timothy shot and killed a wolf. Just as he was about to be praised by Lily, he was scolded by the people around him. “Don’t you know you can’t fire guns randomly in Antarctica? What if it causes an avalanche?” “Moreover, gunshots won’t drive away the wolf pack, it will only provoke their ferocity, you’re worse than a novice!” Lily anxiously protected Timothy behind her, “Timothy just wanted to save someone urgently, he didn’t think that far.” I watched this scene, couldn’t help but mock myself. If it were my route that had such problems. She would probably have cursed me out loud by now. She wouldn’t have explained for me at all. But for Timothy, she was so tolerant. Seeing this, Ethan’s face darkened. “Professor White, I think we should cancel this scientific expedition.” “If we continue, we might lose lives. We can sacrifice our lives for scientific research, but not for something like this!” Hearing this, Professor White hesitated. “This time, the investment in the research team from above is huge.” “It would be too much of a waste to give up halfway.” Ethan became anxious, “But if we don’t retreat now, and encounter more dangerous situations later, it will be too late!” Seeing this, Lily spoke coldly: “Ethan Dawson, you’re just being alarmist!” “Antarctic research is inherently dangerous and difficult, if we retreat at every little setback, I don’t think you should have come!” I knew that Lily was worried that if they returned now, it would affect her reputation. Ethan looked at her with an iron-gray face, “You call this a little setback? Do we have to wait until someone is bitten to death by wolves before we leave?” Hearing this, Professor White’s face seemed to soften. Lily saw this and gritted her teeth: “You just want to force me to take the route my ex took, don’t you?” “Fine, let’s do it! Professor White, we’ll take the route we took before, now you should feel at ease, right?” Hearing this, the professor nodded, “A route we’ve taken before should be much safer, so let’s continue.” Ethan didn’t object either. I knew he didn’t trust Lily and Timothy, but he trusted me. After all, when the whole internet was cursing me for abandoning my wife and running away, he still insisted that I wasn’t that kind of person. When they started following my route, it became much safer. The wolf pack retreated on the fifth day. The research team began to set up camp and conduct research. A month later, the research indicators were completed, and they continued to traverse. I followed beside Lily, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. My body was buried in that place. Only, my body was covered with thick frost, there was no day it would see the light again. “Is this the place where you encountered the avalanche back then?” Ethan walked over and suddenly asked. Lily sneered, “Yes, this is where Zack Quinn abandoned me. Didn’t you want to know if he died here?” “Go find him now, I also want to see if that man who abandoned me can be found here.” Hearing this, Ethan’s face darkened. At this time, a research team member came over from afar. “Professor White, we found a seal nearby that seems a bit unusual, it’s too quiet around here, in case…” Hearing this, Professor White frowned and immediately ordered: “Everyone gather together, hold your guns tight, let’s go take a look together.” The atmosphere immediately became tense, the team members with guns surrounded the outside, carefully observing the surroundings. Soon, they saw that unusual seal. “Why does that seal seem to have something on it? Could there be people nearby?” Ethan was a bit confused. “Catch it and take a look, be careful not to fire your guns,” Lily frowned. As they spoke, everyone worked together to catch the seal, finding that it actually had a sensor attached to it. Ethan’s pupils suddenly contracted, “Wait! Isn’t this the one Zack Quinn wore a year ago?”
“I’ve seen this style before, it’s definitely his! Zack Quinn must be dead for this device to be stuck on this seal!” Saying this, Ethan grabbed the sensor and suddenly raised his head to glare at Lily angrily. “Lily Graham! How do you explain this!” At this time, Timothy stepped forward, frowning: “Impossible, I saw him run away with my own eyes, you must have mistaken it, many explorers have this kind of device.” Hearing this, Lily also sneered: “That’s right, it can’t be his. The direction of the avalanche was to the north, we’re in the south now, this must be lost by someone else.” Hearing this, Ethan suddenly laughed, with two clear tears flowing out. “There’s a name abbreviation engraved on this device, and it happens to be ZQ!” “Lily Graham, what else can you say! Zack Quinn is dead, he was killed by you!” Lily looked at the ZQ abbreviation on the device, completely stunned. “Impossible! This is a coincidence!” Ethan gritted his teeth, full of resentment, “The evidence is right here, what are you still pretending for!” At this time, someone else discovered a corpse, but the appearance of the corpse was unrecognizable. Ethan’s gaze immediately locked onto the action camera on the corpse. “When the camera video comes out, I’d like to see how you explain!” As soon as he finished speaking, the monitoring device video lit up under the manipulation of the research team members. But the screen was full of green light and mosaics, and the sound was very sharp and piercing. The research team member scratched his head, “It seems to be broken?” Seeing this, Lily snorted coldly, “I would recognize Zack Quinn even if he turned to ashes, this corpse is definitely not him!” Timothy also echoed beside her, “That’s right, Zack Quinn abandoned us and ran away at that time, he ran in the northern direction. Even if he really died, his body shouldn’t be here, right?” Ethan tightly clenched his fists, his eyes full of bloodshot. Seeing this, Lily sneered, “That bastard Zack Quinn, he used to say how much he loved me, but when the avalanche came, I fainted alone on the spot!” “He thought I was a burden and abandoned me directly! If it weren’t for Timothy saving me, I might have died! This kind of selfish bastard couldn’t have just died like this!” “The corpse on the ground can’t be him!” Hearing this, many research team members were infected by her words and indignantly condemned me. At this time, the research team member who had just been working on the device suddenly looked happy, “It’s fixed! Everyone come and see!” Everyone gathered around. Lily looked at the figure appearing in the screen and sighed, explaining: “These are the other two teammates who were exploring with us. When the avalanche hit, they happened to be outside getting fresh water, so we lost contact with them.” “I had always prayed that they had just gotten separated from us, I didn’t expect their bodies to be here so close.” “And it looks like they survived the avalanche, but died due to losing their equipment and freezing after getting separated from us. Ethan Dawson, they are not the Zack Quinn you’re looking for.” Seeing this, I also sighed. At that time, after the avalanche, I was worried about the safety of these two teammates, and because the campsite I had set up had a snow barrier, I immediately went out to look for them. That’s where the video in Timothy’s hands came from. “But, what’s the situation with this sensor?” “Could it have fallen onto the seal when he was running away?” Lily looked at the little device in her hand, frowning deeply. Hearing this, Ethan laughed angrily, “Lily Graham! Can the monitoring information of humans and animals be the same?! You can’t even figure this out! Did you ever really care about Zack Quinn?” Hearing this, I also smiled bitterly and asked Lily: “Yeah, did you ever really care about me?” After saying this, I shook my head. She couldn’t hear me anyway. But, the next moment, Lily said coldly, “Of course I cared.” Hearing this, I was stunned. “I once saw him as my only one, I loved him more than anyone else in this world, I was willing to die for him.” “But what about him? When difficulty came, he abandoned me and ran away alone! Ethan Dawson, tell me, is such a person worth loving, worth caring about?” As she spoke, Lily’s eyes reddened. I knelt in the snow, grabbing my hair and shouting loudly: “Lily Graham! I didn’t abandon you! I really didn’t abandon you!!” But only the desolate cold wind responded to me. I turned my hopeful gaze to Ethan, hoping my friend could explain for me. Because he knew what my real purpose was for going to Antarctica. Ethan sighed, “Lily Graham, if I tell you that Zack Quinn took you across the extreme night because he wanted to declare his love for you to the whole world when the extreme night ended.” “Would you still think he would abandon you in public?” Hearing this, Lily was stunned, she opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. At this time, a team member excitedly shouted, “Wait, there’s more video!”
