My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1452

Tatiana struggled to her feet, then frantically started digging through the snow next to her. Soon, Nash’s face emerged from beneath the snow. Using all her strength, she pulled him out.

At that moment, Nash seemed somewhat rigid. Was he... dead?

Tatiana's face turned pale, and tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably. Nash had shared half of the burden of gravity with her from the 800-meter mark to the 900-meter mark.

His cultivation was higher than hers, and the gravity affecting him was many times greater than what she experienced. He could have easily left her behind, but he chose to climb the mountain with her instead. How could such a good man die?

Tatiana could not help but cry out loud, her sobs sounding particularly eerie in the desolate mountain wilderness.

Suddenly, Nash coughed, and his body quickly warmed up.

Tatiana jolted, her voice choking as she asked, "Nash, you're not dead?"

"No... Not yet," Nash replied weakly as he rolled over and then took deep breaths. Before losing consciousness, he had used a technique to enter a state of suspended animation, which made him resemble a corpse.

There were no wild animals in the mountains, but there was still the risk of being killed by exposure to the sun. Entering a state of suspended animation helped him preserve vital energy within his body.

"Why is it dark?" Nash looked puzzled.

Since they started climbing, at least 30 hours had passed. Was the sun not supposed to always be in the sky here? Was this array not supposed to ensure it was always daytime? And... why was it snowing now?

It was freezing.

Nash shivered, then curled up to keep warm.

"Lady Luck kinda forsook us. We've been hit with the mountain’s once-in-200-years night," Tatiana sighed gloomily.

Nash gave a wry smile. How unlucky, indeed. Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, startled. "The gravity's gone?"
