With the chilly night wind blowing, Zhao Siqing and Chen Xingyan stood for about twenty minutes when the phone of one of Chen Shixiong's subordinates suddenly rang.
"Brother Long, there's nothing! We've searched for it a few times, but there's nothing! "
"okay, we'll go over now... "
Then, a series of footsteps sounded. They went further and further away, as if someone had left.
Seeing them leave, Chen Xingyan heaved a sigh of relief. Her legs went weak, and she was about to fall to the ground.
However, Zhao Siqing held her arm tightly and shook her head at her.
Chen Xingyan's eyes went blank for a few seconds before she gradually came back to her senses. She forced herself to continue standing beside Zhao Siqing.
Zhao Siqing said in a low voice, "be careful, there's a trap. The sound of footsteps isn't right. "
The two of them held their breaths and waited for a while. Sure enough, the sound of footsteps sounded again.
"There's no one in this F * Cking wilderness. I think those two girls must have fallen off a cliff. Brother long is thinking too much! "
"stop talking nonsense and quickly call to report. "
After saying that, one of the brawny men dialed brother long's cell phone number again. "Brother Long, we've tried. There's really no one here... "
* . *
When the footsteps completely disappeared, Zhao Siqing's legs went weak and she sat down first.
Seeing her sit down, Chen Xingyan followed closely and said in a hoarse voice, "I thought... I was destined not to live past today... "
Zhao Siqing leaned against her shoulder and looked at the white horizon in the distance. She said softly, "It's already a new day. "
Chen Xingyan also opened her cracked lips and revealed a smile.
It was very cold at night. Fortunately, the two of them were dressed normally. In addition, it did not take long before the sky gradually brightened. There was no need to worry that they would not be able to endure it.
When the fiery red morning sun had dyed the mountaintop, Zhao Siqing looked at Chen Xingyan and said softly, "let's go. We have to find a way down the mountain as soon as possible. "
Zhao Siqing thought about it. From yesterday afternoon until now, they hadn't eaten or drank. They had also used up a lot of energy, so they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
Chen Xingyan stood up and looked around. It was a misty forest, so she couldn't tell where she was at all, let alone the direction to go down the mountain.
"Let's go south first. " Zhao Siqing judged the position according to the direction of the rising sun and said gently.
Chen Xingyan nodded, and Zhao Siqing supported the two of them.
The Sun gradually rose, and the surroundings were much warmer.
Zhao Siqing was very thirsty, but she did not touch the water source.
It was close to noon, and Chen Xingyan's physical strength was even more exhausted than hers. She was tired and sleepy, and with her swollen ankle, she really did not have much strength.
Zhao Siqing helped her to sit down on a mountain rock and said softly, "I'll go over there and look around. I'll come back to find you later. "
Chen Xingyan nodded. "Be careful. "
After Zhao Siqing left, she fumbled around in the forest. A few minutes later, she did not touch the water source, but she found that there were many dark red bloodstains on the ground. They were mixed with the soil and had already solidified.
Zhao Siqing became more vigilant and picked up a relatively sharp rock to protect her body.
She walked forward for a while and slowly moved in the withered yellow weeds.
But not long after, something on the ground tripped her and she fell to the ground.
Zhao Siqing was very scared. Her chest rose and fell violently. She looked up from afar and realized that there was a person lying on the ground.
Zhao Siqing heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that she was covered in cold sweat again.
She slowly got up and slowly moved closer.
Judging from her physique, she should be a man. He was wearing a gray coat, a white shirt, and gray trousers... ...
Zhao Siqing moved closer. She did not know if this person was alive or dead.
But when he saw the man's face clearly, he was completely stunned.
