After weighing the pros and cons, Miles Sherman still felt they should just push through and cross the river.
No one could predict what might happen if they took a detour.
Zoe Pierce unhesitatingly gripped Miles Sherman's outstretched hand. The falling raindrops were hitting her so hard she could barely keep her eyes open.
Miles stepped into the stream first. The water came up to Zoe's knees, but for him, it just barely covered his calves. After confirming there was nothing else in the water, Miles tightened his grip on Zoe's hand. "Come on down."
Zoe followed him into the water. Even through the layer of her training uniform, the icy chill of the river water made her shiver.
Water in a mountain stream is always the coldest. On normal days, under a scorching sun, it could cool down a hot traveler and dispel the sweltering heat.
Not to mention, with the drop in temperature, the constantly flowing water was now chilled to the bone.
