Shen Yanxiu's breathing gradually became heavy. Although he tried his best to hold it in, how could Su Jin not feel it?
"Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Su Jin brushed away the stray hairs that were stuck to his forehead.
This extremely intimate gesture made Shen Yanxiu's heart flutter. "It's okay, I..."
Just as he was distracted, the soft, wet soil beneath his feet loosened, and he lost his footing and fell to the side.
In a flash, he turned around, grabbed the person behind him, pulled her into his arms, and pressed Su Jin's head tightly to prevent her from bumping it.
He rolled down the small slope and came to a stop with a thud as his back hit a rock.
Lin Shi was unaware of what had happened when the two people behind her suddenly disappeared.
"Holy crap?"
She shouted loudly to the two people below, "Are you alright?! Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright...?"
Su Jin was equally bewildered; she felt a sudden dizziness, and then it stopped abruptly.
She broke free from Shen Yanxiu's embrace and stood up, replying to Lin Shi, "I'm fine, but he seems to be in trouble."
"What should we do then?" Lin Shi measured the height below, assessing whether she would die if she jumped. "I'll come down and help you."
Su Jin was so anxious she almost jumped up. "Don't come down! Go find help, I'll take him out."
Lin Shi gave an OK sign and ran off without looking back.
Now she was left to face the unconscious man alone.
Su Jin squatted down and patted Shen Yanxiu's face, but he didn't wake up.
She checked his breathing; he was still breathing. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, he's barely alive."
The next second, Su Jin pulled open Shen Yanxiu's clothes. Don't misunderstand, she wasn't taking advantage of the situation, but checking if he had any wounds.
"Zhenbai..."
Su Jin unconsciously slapped herself across the face after saying those words. What kind of time is this? To still be thinking about such things!
Looking behind him, there was a large patch of blue; the impact must have been really hard.
There was also a scratch on my waist, but fortunately it wasn't too serious and there was no significant bleeding.
She touched his head and didn't feel any blood. As for the minor scratches on his arms and face, she ignored them.
Su Jin took off her coat and started twisting it, passing it under Shen Yanxiu's arm and around his neck to make a makeshift drag rope.
She tried to pull it, but it was difficult.
After all, the weight of a person who is awake and a person who is unconscious are on completely different levels.
"My life is so miserable..."
Su Jin dragged Shen Yanxiu along as they began to walk.
...
Below the mountain.
It was getting close to dusk.
The scene was chaotic, with reporters' voices and police sirens mingling together. Director Yan was sweating profusely with anxiety, and the assistant director was terrified.
They could foresee the furious backlash from their fans, especially if someone were to die...
A disheveled figure appeared before them.
Director Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Shi!"
Lin Shi pointed to her mouth, too exhausted to utter a single word.
She took the water from someone and gulped down more than half a bottle. Pointing to the collapsed mountain behind her, she said, "Su Jin and Shen Yanxiu are still inside, on the east side."
Lin Shi's gaze sharpened as she saw Luo Feifei sitting in the ambulance, seemingly unaffected. "When did you get off?"
Luo Feifei looked at her expressionlessly, wrapping herself tighter in the emergency blanket. "I came down a long time ago."
Why didn't you tell us when you came down? We stayed in the mountains looking for you!
Lin Shi was emotional; her best friend was still in the mountains, her fate unknown, and the unstable mountain might be at risk of collapsing again.
Many people have already noticed this place, and the reporter also wanted to point the microphone here, "So we see that the survivor has escaped unharmed, now let's interview her..."
Luo Feifei glanced around casually, stood up, and said softly to Lin Shi, "You deserve it."
Snap!
A very loud slap sent Luo Feifei's face turning to one side.
Entertainment reporters rushed forward to be the first to report the story, but were stopped by the surrounding police.
"Miss Lin, why did you hit Miss Luo?"
"What grudge do you have against each other?"
"Ms. Lin, your best friend is trapped inside. How do you feel right now?"
...
Lin Shi ignored the questions from the outside world. Still not satisfied after hitting her, she kicked Luo Feifei in the knee, saying, "You're such a bitch."
Luo Feifei's legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground.
She leaned weakly against the arriving rescuers, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying, but I sincerely hope your friend can come back alive."
Luo Feifei looked meaningfully at the mountain of scattered rocks.
Lin Shi wanted to hit her again, but the rescuers stopped her, saying, "Let's check if you have any injuries first."
Lin Shi leaned wearily against the medical staff, "You'll save her... right?"
"Yes, we will do our best."
Luo Feifei said confidently to 0827 in her mind, "She won't die, right?"
0827: "His life force hasn't run out yet, he won't die."
Luo Feifei let out a soft snort through her nose, thinking to herself, "That makes sense."
0827's cold voice revealed a hint of arrogance, "You owe it all to me this time, don't you? If I hadn't predicted the disaster, you wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly."
Luo Feifei sneered, "Su Jin and her stupid system can only pray for themselves."
...
Assistant Li looked at Gu Xingze in the passenger seat with a troubled expression, "Boss, the road ahead is blocked."
A mudslide swept down from the riverbed, leaving a pile of mud, rocks, and broken branches blocking the road.
Gu Xingze ignored him and said, "Keep driving."
He stared intently at the road ahead; even if the car couldn't make it, he would walk.
Assistant Li had no choice but to carefully avoid the large obstructions as he drove past, praying that he wouldn't die there because of this.
Once they reached a spot where they could see the crowd, Gu Xingze frantically opened the door and got out of the car, trying to squeeze through the crowd to get inside.
Assistant Li called out from behind him, "Boss! Turn around!"
He was not surprised to be stopped by the police. "It's too dangerous inside. Unauthorized personnel, please step back!"
Gu Xingze gripped the policeman's hand tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline, "Please let me in, my wife is still inside, I need to see that she is safe and sound."
The police officer glanced at him and said, "Calm down, rescue workers have already begun the rescue operation..."
"Bullshit!" Gu Xingze lost all reason, abandoning all dignity and self-respect, and shouted in front of everyone without any regard for his image.
"How can you stay calm with your wife inside? Let me in!"
Entertainment reporters pointed their microphones at him.
"Are you Su Jin's husband?"
How are you feeling right now?
Gu Xingze pushed away the reporters' cameras and microphones, shouting, "Get out of here, all of you get out of here!"
The angry roar eventually turned into a plea, "Please move aside, my wife is still inside... I need to see her."
He struggled to push aside the swarming media and break through the crowded masses, as if fighting against a predetermined fate.
The place he was heading to was Su Jin.
