Chapter 266: Chapter 266

They had a car full of food and water that was enough for dozens of people to eat for half a month. She had the foresight to bring all these foods. See, now they were saving lives.

Yan Huan found a place for herself to sit. They would go find a road later and see if they could walk out of the area. Actually, she wanted to see if there were other people, like Lu Yi.

On the first day, the two of them just sat there. They had walked around in their surroundings and there were no one. They didn’t dare walk too far in case there was another mudslide. At that moment, it was no longer raining. Yan Huan felt that the possibility of it happening was very small. There must have been a rain storm last night and they had slept too deeply to realise anything.

She was quite regretful now for bringing Yi Ling along. It was fine if only she was in danger but now there was Yi Ling. She knew nothing about this place and the only thing they were sure about was that this place was definitely safe. However no matter how safe it was, it was hard not to worry and overthink in this wilderness without anyone to count on.

There was still no rain on the second day and this time, Yan Huan wanted to go further.

“I will go alone. You take care of the car.” Yan Huan didn’t want Yi Ling to go too as it was dangerous.

“No, I will follow you.” Yi Ling held onto Yan Huan’s arm. “How can I let you go alone. What if you meet danger?”

“Don’t worry, I am nimbler than you.” Yan Huan wrapped herself tighter with the coat. “I will be fine and I will be back in a while. The things on the car is a life-saver, do not lose them.”

“There is no one here, how would I lose it?”

It had never crossed her mind that they will lose these things. In any case, no matter what, she was going to accompany Yan Huan. She wouldn’t feel at ease letting her go alone.

“There might be wild things.”

Yan Huan said seriously but it really got to Yi Ling. Her eyes couldn’t help but twitch.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There wouldn’t be wild things here, would there be?

In the end, Yi Ling stayed and locked herself in the car. She wouldn’t go down even if she was going to die. She knew very clearly that the wildings Yan Huan mentioned were fake and meant to scare her, but she had been duped and was scared. This wasn’t her fault. Anybody would be afraid in a place like this. It was deep within the forest and there was not a living soul here.

Yan Huan had ventured off very far but she hadn’t seen a single person. She was even worried that she had remembered wrongly but it seemed like the place that was reported in the news then was around here. Because only here was the safe zone.

At this moment, her shoes and clothes were full of mud. She wasn’t clean anywhere but she didn’t really care. Being dirty was better than dying.

She stopped and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She was sweating even in this weather.

She shook her head and decided to walk further down the road. If she went back, it would take her more than half a day to come here again.

She had almost given up and thought she had really remembered wrongly. They weren’t here and was at some other safe region. However at this moment, she heard some sound in her ear.

There was someone?

She quickly ran towards the voice as her shoes stepped in the mud from time to time. The mud splashed up onto her body and soiled her clothes.

“Lu Yi, what should we do?” Lei Qingyi used his sleeve to wipe his face. His sleeve was soiled and his face was covered in mud. At this moment, there were streaks all over his face. There were wounds and soil on it.

“Bring them somewhere safe.” At this moment, Lu Yi was no cleaner than Lei Qingyi. His entire body was covered in mud and he had a dozen people following behind him. They were the villagers that he had saved from the rubble. There were males and females and more than half of them were children.

With the signal down now, they had no way of contacting the outside world. They could only take things one step at a time. He was not optimistic or relaxed about their situation at all. They not only had to deal with the mudslide, there was the issue of food and water.

Food and water were what they had to solve right now.

There were mud and soil all around the floor. From time to time, there were small potholes too. They drank the water that had collected in it but the water wasn’t clean. In the conditions they were in now, it wasn’t easy to survive. If they fell sick, they could only wait for death.

Lei Qingyi walked forward on the uneven ground. Suddenly, he stopped walking.

“Lu Yi!”

“Yes, what?” Lu Yi was still carrying a child and wasn’t looking far.

“Look,” Lei Qingyi pointed to the front. “That person looks like Yan Huan.”

“Yan Huan?” Lu Yi thought Lei Qingyi must be seeing wrongly. How could there be anyone here. Even if there was, how could it be Yan Huan. She was still in Sea City.

“It really is Yan Huan, Lu Yi,” Lei Qingyi pointed in front, “look, it is Yan Huan.”

Lu Yi raised his head and saw a woman looking dishevelled not far off. His pupils contracted involuntarily.

He put down the child he was carrying and walked forward with big steps.

Yan Huan walked over to the guy that was walking towards her, almost as if they were separated by a lifetime. She had never been so touched or grateful in her past and present lifetime.

She had found him, she had finally found him.

He extended his hand and cleaned the mud on her face.

“What are you doing here?”

Yan Huan sniffed, her eyes turning red.

“Yi Ling said she wanted to travel and we came here.”

“Why did you all choose this place?” Lu Yi had no idea what to say to this woman. There were many places that had good scenery, why did they have to choose this place? Now they were trapped here.

“We wanted to experience life,” Yan Huan lowered her head and didn’t dare to look into Lu Yi’s eyes that could pierce through her lies. It was better not to look and let him think she didn’t mean it.

All of this was a coincidence, that’s right. A coincidence.

Lu Yi took back his hands and helped straightened Yan Huan’s blouse.

“Let’s go.” He pulled Yan Huan’s hand. There was nothing to say now and any blaming wouldn’t be useful.

“Why are you here?” Lei Qingyi felt his head pounding. At this moment they couldn’t even save themselves. One less person meant less danger. Now that she was here, wasn’t she seeking death?
