Chapter 475: Getting Close to Each Other
The entire cave was filled with a damp and rotten smell, which, combined with Tian Qi's words, seemed particularly depressing.
Human life is so fragile yet tenacious. If there is a slight accident, one may very likely die. But in the face of an accident, everyone will try their best to stay alive.
The entire cave fell into silence, with only the sound of breathing. Even the children, who originally should have known nothing, now suppressed their inner fear and dared not make a sound. They lay in their parents' arms with their eyes open.
Being alive is always better than being dead.
Su Chenyu glanced at Jiang Zhi. In Jiang Zhi's eyes, she saw helplessness and a hint of hidden anger.
Time passed by minute by minute. Su Chenyu felt a little uncomfortable in this cramped space. She had only been here for a short while and already felt uncomfortable. How did these people survive hiding here in fear time and time again?
Jiang Zhi seemed to see Su Chenyu's discomfort, so he sat closer to her, with his back to her, and lowered his voice: "If you are tired, just lean on my back for a while."
Su Chenyu hesitated for only a moment before she leaned on Jiang Zhi's back. What she smelled between her nostrils was no longer the musty smell in the air, but the cool fragrance from Jiang Zhi that she was very familiar with.
For a moment, Su Chenyu felt her eyes getting hot and moist, and her hard heart softened.
Jiang Zhi was very nervous when he spoke. He usually refused to let anyone get close to him. But if it was someone else today, he wouldn't even take off his outer robe and spread it on the ground, let alone let her lean on his back.
But when facing Su Chenyu, many of his actions and words seemed to come from instinct, without any thinking.
Xiaoxiao knew that it was strange for her to be like this, but when Jiang Zhi did these things, she felt as if the empty space in her heart was slowly being filled with something, and she felt warm and satisfied.
Feeling Su Chenyu leaning on his back, Jiang Zhi's anxiety slowly dissipated. He suddenly realized that his previous nervousness was because he was worried that Su Chenyu was unwilling to get close to him.
Neither of them said anything else, but the atmosphere around them seemed to have changed. They were still in this dark and humid environment, but they seemed to be separated from the crowd around them.
After an unknown amount of time, the person who was on guard outside suddenly rushed in and said, "Everyone, run! The pirates are coming this way."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the cave ran out like crazy, but those who were in the deepest part of the cave were unable to escape.
Tian Qi held Tingting and wanted to run out, but the people in front blocked the exit and he couldn't get out. Turning around, Tian Qi saw Su Chenyu and Jiang Zhi who were not in a hurry: "Those pirates really know how to kill people."
"Even if they run out of this cave, they can't escape." Su Chenyu was very sure that since the pirates had confirmed that there were people here, they would definitely surround this place first and would not allow anyone to escape from here.
Su Chenyu and his companions were the last to escape. As Su Chenyu had expected, those who had originally escaped came back dejectedly.
After asking, they found out that they were surrounded by pirates and couldn't escape at all.
