Chapter 48: Charm of the Heart (VI)

Everyone suppressed their fear and immediately wanted to hide in the safe house. However, the forest was generally recognized as a place where intruders were less likely to appear. It was not because cracks would not appear here, but because the smell of the forest masked the human smell. The creatures on the other side of the crack could not smell the smell of food, so they naturally would not drill into the crack so accurately. Many cracks appeared silently and then healed silently.

Because of this, the safe houses in the mountains are not located every fifty meters like in the city. They are halfway up the mountain, and the nearest safe house is at the foot of the mountain!

"Run!" All the students ran down the mountain in panic. If they fell down, they would crawl up and continue running out of their survival instinct. Easels and painting tools were scattered all over the ground, and the paints dyed the grass colorful.

Gan Lan was the slowest. Although she was wearing flat shoes, she was not young after all. She did not expect that she would be so unlucky in the past few months. First, she was stabbed with a knife, and then she found out that the daughter she had been raising carefully was not her biological daughter, and her biological daughter did not seem to want to be close to her. Now she encountered a time and space rift in the mountains, which should have been safer than the city!

Her heartbeat quickened, and she looked back as she ran, and suddenly gasped. It wasn't just one or two monsters that came out, but a whole group! The monsters had already swam out of the lake, running very fast on all fours with long arms and legs, staring at them greedily with their bulging eyes, drooling.

Gan Lan turned around and ran for her life. She slipped and fell. She got up and continued to run staggeringly. She could hardly see the figures of her students in front of her.

She could feel them getting closer and closer, and she knew the military must be on their way, but she felt that she might not be able to wait for them. In an instant, her husband, son, and daughter appeared in her mind, and tears rolled down her eyes as she ran.

A fishy smell came from her back, followed by a sudden burning pain in her back, and she fell out all of a sudden.

She fell to the ground and raised her head in pain and horror, and saw a monster rushing towards her with a greedy look. Its smelly mouth was in front of her in the blink of an eye. Her wide eyes were full of despair.

But the Grim Reaper's scythe stopped abruptly in front of her eyes, and a black shadow fell from the sky. The sharp blade pierced through the monster's back, and the bloody white blade was quickly pulled out, and the monster fell to the ground with a thud.

Gan Lan took a deep breath, and her soul returned to her body from the brink of death. An Cui glanced at the group of invaders rushing over, and immediately reached out to pull Gan Lan up, carried her on her back, ran a few steps, jumped up, and went down the mountain.

Gan Lan felt the girl's slender back and turned to look behind him with some horror. The group of ghosts were also running and jumping after him.

An Cui carried Gan Lan on her back and soon reached the foot of the mountain. An Cui put Gan Lan down and Gan Lan immediately ran to the safe house.

There are external surveillance cameras in the safe house. When the students inside saw that it was the teacher, they quickly opened the door to let her in, then locked the door tightly again and stared at the image of An Cui and the intruder on the screen on the wall.

An Cui had heard the sirens. She didn't rush over every time an intruder appeared. If she arrived earlier than them, she would take action. If she arrived later, she would just look at the periphery first. If she didn't need to take action, she wouldn't waste energy, so as not to accidentally hinder others. However, the monsters' eyes had already fallen on the safe house, probably because they saw Gan Lan running in and knew that someone was hiding inside. It would be bad if they ran into the city, because people would subconsciously run to the safe house, and they would be caught in the trap.

It's an inevitable battle, we have to stop them here.

An Cui pulled out the two knives behind her, and looked coldly at the invaders who were rushing towards her. She flashed the blade and rushed towards them. In an instant, the knife light flashed and blood splattered everywhere.

Gan Lan covered her chest with her hands, looking at An Cui's figure nervously. She didn't like this recently famous shadow heroine very much. Sometimes she even felt a little displeased because Yan Cheng treated her like a fanatical star-chaser whom she didn't like. After all, it was human nature to be inevitably self-centered.

But now, this person is no longer the untouchable stranger who can only be seen on TV or online news. She saved her, she also felt the warmth and faint fragrance from her body, and saw her dark and calm eyes that made people feel very reassured from a close distance.

With the recent activity of Shadow Woman, some other voices gradually emerged on the Internet. Some people believed that Shadow Woman was stealing jobs from the military and was redundant. She didn't need to show up all the time. She was just trying to make her presence felt and earn false fame... Now it seems that those people probably haven't encountered such a thing personally, otherwise they would know how much this person's appearance would make people cry and be extremely grateful in the eyes of those who are facing life and death.

She is their hero.

The soldiers finally arrived and quickly surrounded the area with guns. An Cui immediately withdrew. A burst of concentrated gunfire rang out, and all the invaders who were stopped by An Cui at the foot of the mountain were killed.

An Cui has disappeared without a trace, just like before.

Gan Lan regretted not thanking her earlier. Perhaps they would never meet again. And...why did she feel that her eyes looked familiar? I felt like I had seen them somewhere before?

Yan Wenqing and Yan Cheng went to the hospital. Gan Lan was scratched on the back, but fortunately the claws were not poisonous and not fatal.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"fine."

"You've been scratched!" Yan Wenqing's eyes were filled with fear. How close was he to the intruder? God bless him to be alive.

"Well, it was... Shadow Lady who saved me." Gan Lan said a little embarrassedly.

"What?! Mom, did you see her? She saved you?" Yan Cheng grabbed a stool and sat beside the bed, looking like he wanted to hear all the details. When Gan Lan finished talking about the thrilling moment and how Shadow Woman carried her down the mountain, Yan Cheng didn't know how to describe the expression on his face. As a fan of Shadow Woman, he was really moved to hear that Shadow Woman saved his mother, and he even felt a little jealous of his mother. I also want to be saved by my idol, and I also want to be carried by my idol!

Gan Lan asked Yan Cheng for An Cui's videos. The feeling of watching them again this time was completely different. She couldn't stop the admiration and touching in her heart.

In the evening, the Meng family brought An Cui and Yan Shu to the hospital to visit her. After chatting for a while, they were about to leave. Gan Lan called An Cui, and the others left first. There were only two people left in the ward, and Gan Lan asked her why she always didn't reply to messages in time, and whether she didn't want to reply.

An Cui looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, I just didn't see it. I replied immediately when I saw it."

Gan Lan also looked into her eyes, and then was suddenly stunned. It was really like... No, no, no. She quickly suppressed this ridiculous thought, but still couldn't help staring at An Cui's back.

Although Gan Lan thought it was absurd that her biological daughter, Meng Jiao, the darling of the Meng family, could be the Shadow Lady, how could the Shadow Lady happen to be someone they knew? But once the seeds of doubt were planted, it was difficult to pull them out.

She couldn't help but think, if An Cui didn't lie and didn't reply to her message in time because she didn't see the message, but which young people today can leave their phones? Unless she didn't have her phone with her... She started to check the dates and time periods when An Cui didn't reply to her messages in time, and the results were shocking. They all coincided with the reports of Shadow Woman appearing on the Internet!

How, how is this possible?

Gan Lan was extremely shocked and unbelievable. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes were filled with heat. Could it be just a coincidence?

Still a little bit unbelieving, Gan Lan did not tell anyone else about this. She carefully verified it herself and took the initiative to ask An Cui out for dinner. Her tone of voice and mentality had inevitably changed. Watching the videos of the Shadow Woman taking risks to fight the invaders, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken and proud when she thought that she might be An Cui.

Yan Shu came back after being proud of raising Mr. Meng's favorability to 70 points, and was shocked to find that Gan Lan's feelings for An Cui had risen to 60 points.

The reason why Yan Shu was determined to destroy An Cui later was because there was only one person in a person's heart who could make her give 100% of her love. Floating points are feelings that can rise and fall at any time. They are somewhat virtual and have less energy than solid points. But solid points are different. They will not float easily. Sometimes they are even firmer than rocks. They will never be reduced even by a point because of quarrels or life and death tests. The energy generated by this kind of love is the greatest, hot and scorching!

People's hearts are biased, and they can never be completely equal. Although in general, as long as they are not biased too much, it cannot be seen in reality, but the degree of favorability can be, just like Yan Shu and Yan Cheng. In Gan Lan and Yan Wenqing's hearts, Yan Cheng has two more points than Yan Shu. But in Gan Lan and Yan Wenqing's hearts, both children are treasures. If anything happens to either of them, they will be in great pain. This bias can be ignored, but it cannot be ignored with the witch.

Once the real points are generated, they will not be easily reduced, but the witch does not understand why? What did An Cui do? She worked so hard and took the trouble to manage it every day, only to get 50 real points and 30 floating points from the Meng family. What did An Cui do to get so many real points from Gan Lan all of a sudden? ! !
