Episode 29 recap: Unraveling the Storm with Innocence
In Episode 29, Wu Xie, along with Zhang Hai Xing and the Fatty, leads a daring team preparing for their mission. Before they set off, the people of Yinsha Luo hold a grand farewell ceremony, calling them warriors. The elder asks Wu Xie if he has anyone he cares about, reminding him that regardless of their success or failure, they should act according to their capabilities. Through their time together, the elder realizes why Zhang Qi Ling chose to let Wu Xie continue his unfinished mission—there's a shared understanding in their eyes.
Wu Xie reflects on his long search for Zhang Qi Ling's story, questioning if this is an obsession. The elder explains that life doesn’t go backward; every experience is inevitable. Late at night, Wu Xie finds himself alone outside the tent, looking at a portrait of his brother. He quietly vows to fight the next day, fearing he may never see Zhang Qi Ling again. Suddenly, he notices a mark left by Zhang Qi Ling on the wall and realizes it’s not just graffiti but a map that could help them decipher the storm.
Years ago, the Zhang family predicted that the ice layer would break, causing a fierce hurricane. Zhang Qi Ling created a map based on the structure of the bronze factory, which is believed to hide a massive energy source. If they can find the mechanism, they can resolve the storm. Excited, Wu Xie shares his discovery with the elder. Initially surprised and skeptical, they choose to believe him upon seeing his enthusiasm. They decide someone must locate the mechanism first; if it can't be found, they will proceed with their original plan.
The Fatty hands the task of finding the mechanism over to Wu Xie, while he and Zhang Hai Xing stay back to support. Although Wu Xie starts alone, he is soon joined by Yin Dan, a warrior from Yinsha Luo who is familiar with the area and eager to help. After much searching, Wu Xie finally finds the mechanism, but the ignition system has malfunctioned from years of disuse.
Time is running out, and if they can't return in time, the daredevil team will have to follow their original plan. Wu Xie decides to block the ignition chamber door with his body while Yin Dan attempts to unlock it. Not skilled with the spring mechanism, Yin Dan insists Wu Xie should handle it. He throws a torch into the ignition system and braces against the door. When the bomb explodes, a powerful surge ignites the system, but Wu Xie watches in horror as Yin Dan is injured in the blast.
With all his focus, Wu Xie activates the mechanism after countless attempts, successfully suppressing the storm. The dark clouds disperse, revealing a clear blue sky. The mission succeeds, and the people of Yinsha Luo no longer need the daredevil team. Outside the tents, everyone rejoices at the sight of the blue sky. Wu Xie carries the severely wounded Yin Dan back through deep snow, struggling under the weight. As Yin Dan loses blood and his life ticks away, he asks Wu Xie to let him see the sky one last time. Having long dreamed of this clear sky, Yin Dan smiles and soon passes away.
The people of Yinsha Luo hold a solemn funeral for Yin Dan. After the ordeal, the villagers cherish their hard-won happiness. The elder expresses gratitude to Wu Xie for helping them overcome the crisis. As they gather around a bonfire, Zhang Hai Xing presents Wu Xie with a precious scroll containing Zhang Qi Ling's most cherished memories.
