The viewers in the live stream instantly became excited.
"Haha, it's Jiang Shen!"
"Judging by his moves, it's definitely Jiang Shen. Ouhuang doesn't have this skill."
"As expected of our great Jiang Shen, mighty and valiant."
"What's an avalanche to Jiang Shen? It's just a piece of cake. He'll kill gods and buddhas alike!"
"Damn it, bystanders, the camera is so blurry, fix it for me quickly."
At this moment, the two bystanders had finished their self-repair, and the blurry lenses became clear again.
In the eyes of the audience, a scene like the end of the world unfolded.
Everywhere were large piles of snow. These snow piles were not white but mixed with dirt, forming gray and black mounds.
Much of the snow on the rock faces had fallen off, revealing the original rock.
The ground had lost its original shape. Some areas had deep pits, while others had risen by two to three meters, forming small hills.
Most terrifyingly, the once towering summit of the mountain seemed to have been sliced off.
Seeing this scene, the previously excited hearts of the audience cooled down by half.
"No way, it's like the whole mountain was flipped over!"
"Oh my god, if I'm not mistaken, is the summit missing a chunk, or am I seeing things?"
"You're not mistaken, a chunk is indeed missing."
"In this situation, I suspect only Jiang Shen survived. Ouhuang is likely in trouble."
"You jinx! Where there's Jiang Shen, there's Ouhuang. They will never be separated."
At this point, the bystander cameras focused on the survivors.
To the utter astonishment of all viewers, the person who emerged was not Jiang Fan or Zhou Niannian, but Yao!
Yao's teeth chattered uncontrollably from the cold, and his face was ashen, but he was indeed the first to be confirmed alive.
Many people, having heard the legend of the wolf child, believed it was easy for human children to survive with wolves.
After all, wolf packs are not charities that raise human children for fun.
Children who could survive with wolves were exceptionally athletic, able to keep up with the pack. Otherwise, they would have been considered outsiders and eaten by the wolves long ago.
As a human, to survive in the wild with wolves for over a decade, Yao possessed unique talents.
It was not so much that he learned the instinct of risk prediction from the wolves, but rather that the wolves had deeply awakened the talents he already possessed.
At the moment the avalanche struck, Yao instinctively covered his head with his hands and curled into a ball.
This defensive posture could minimize the damage from the avalanche to the greatest extent.
After all, it wasn't the first time Yao had encountered an avalanche while surviving with the wolf pack in the wild.
This was why he was able to emerge from the debris before even a powerhouse like Jiang Fan.
Yao surveyed his surroundings. It was a vast expanse of white, with nothing but the bystanders.
He quickly approached a bystander and, grabbing it with both hands, slammed it to the ground.
In the live stream, all the viewers were stunned.
"What's he doing, taking his anger out on the bystander?"
"No, he's probably using the bystander as a tool to dig."
"That's one way to do it. He has no tools on hand, can't he just break through the ice with his bare hands?"
"In the twenty-four Filial Exemplars, there's the story of 'Lying on Ice to Get Carp.' It says a man's mother was seriously ill and wanted to eat carp. He went to the ice in the middle of winter, stripped naked, and melted the ice with his body heat, and a carp jumped out of the river."
"Pah, that's feudal superstition. If you really lay naked on the ice, you'd freeze to death."
The bystanders were also confused. Yao's use of them as tools seemed to exceed the AI's programmed parameters.
This caused a minor system crash, but as a high-tech product, the bystander quickly recovered and broke free from Yao's grasp in no time.
The red light began to flash in the bystander's laser eyes.
The viewers' hearts skipped a beat. Had the bystander become enraged and decided to attack Yao?
Fortunately, the bystander only aimed its death ray at the snow, causing large-scale melting.
It appeared to be trying to rescue Jiang Fan and the others from the snow.
In the live stream, the viewers burst into praise.
"A helpful robot is a good robot!"
"This bystander is changing its ways; I thought it would just stand by and watch people die every time."
"Perhaps an avalanche is something that falls outside the bystander's normal judgment."
"No, I guess it's because the bystander determined that Jiang Fan and the others were still alive."
"So, Jiang Shen still has a chance?"
The bystander fired its death ray with immense power for a while. The snow melted on a large scale, and the melted snow bubbled and evaporated under the high temperature.
The ground was scorching hot. When Yao tried to reach in with his bare hands to dig, he immediately pulled back his hand, burned by the heat.
The audience became anxious again.
This way, they hadn't found anyone, but what if they were accidentally killed by the death ray or evaporated by the scalding snowmelt?
Suddenly, the bystander stopped moving. Its mechanical mouth made a garbled sound.
The death ray eyes also dimmed. It seemed to be out of energy.
The viewers in the live stream began to curse.
"Are you kidding me? It looked incredibly powerful as it shot wildly, but it's just a three-second wonder."
"A burst of action as fierce as a tiger, only to score two hundred and fifty."
"These unreliable machines are truly untrustworthy."
"Stop complaining. In the end, we still have to rely on them."
"Right, it's out of death ray, but it still has mechanical arms. That's better than the wolf child digging with his bare hands!"
As expected, the bystander moved again. This time, it wildly swung its eight mechanical arms, digging furiously in the snow.
Because it had been melted by the death ray, the snow was very soft now, making it easy to dig.
Yao also went to help, tearing off strips of his clothes to wrap around his hands and digging fiercely at the ground.
Soon, large pits were dug in the ground.
The bystander seemed to have no clue where to look, digging wherever it could.
Poor Yao was being led around like an idiot by the bystander.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't take it anymore.
"What the heck is this black technology?"
"It's all guesswork. Can't it use x-ray vision or life sensing abilities?"
"Does it need such advanced abilities? Jiang Shen and the others should have small knives, shovels, or other metal items. A metal detector would suffice."
"Exactly! What kind of black technology is this? It's like the operation of an idiot!"
"The mechanical engineering is fine, but the programming capabilities need improvement."
Whether it was because the bystander heard the viewers scolding it or not, it suddenly stopped moving and extended several tentacles to probe the surroundings.
Soon, the bystander locked onto a location. Its tentacles emitted a strong buzzing sound, as if it had sensed something.
