Chapter 126 Being Chased Again
After the three left, silence returned, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Yu Xiang and Qiao Yue jumped down from the tree where they were hiding and landed on the ground.
Qiao Yue dusted herself off. "Let's go. I suddenly realized this road looks familiar. I think I know which way to go. Maybe if we follow this road, we'll find the location of the Bright Base soon."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Yuka, only to find that Yuka was clearly lost in thought, standing motionless in place.
"Little Yuzu, what's wrong?"
Qiao Yue's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward and gently touched Youxiang's arm.
Yu Xiang came to her senses, her voice trembling slightly.
“They just said Zhuozhuo is dead! It’s all because of me. If he hadn’t protected me and dealt with those people, he wouldn’t be in this situation. And because of me, you and the others wouldn’t have gotten hurt… It’s all my fault. I’ve caused so much trouble for everyone.”
Qiao Yue placed her hand on Youxiang's head and gently rubbed it. "Little Youzi, this is our own choice. From the moment we decided to face all of this with you, we were prepared to bear the consequences."
"So you don't need to blame yourself at all. If you were in my shoes, you would probably make the same choice as me, right? After all, we are important partners to each other."
Yu Xiang nodded slightly after hearing Qiao Yue's words, "Yes, I will make the same choice as you."
Qiao Yue pinched Youxiang's cheek. "Alright, cheer up. I hope you'll always be happy, little Youzi."
Yu Xiang smiled brightly, "I'll cheer up, let's set off now to find Yan Yan and the others."
I can't let Yueyue worry about me anymore.
After saying that, Youxiang took out a solar-powered electric car from the game's storage, opened the door, and got in first. She waved to Qiao Yue and said, "Yueyue, let's go!"
Qiao Yue looked at Youxiang, who had regained her spirits, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Yes, let's go find someone, just like when my sister came to H City to find me. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will not give up."
After Qiao Yue got into the car, Youxiang drove off, but Mimi hadn't gotten in yet.
Mimi immediately took off running, barking as she chased after the car.
I'm not even on the bus yet! Hurry up and park the car for me!
For the sake of Meow Meow Fruit, Meow cannot be abandoned.
Five or six minutes later, Qiao Yue was the first to spot Mimi chasing the car.
She quickly patted Youxiang's shoulder, "Little Youxiang, stop the car! Mimi isn't in the car; she's chasing us."
Yuka then realized what was happening and quickly stepped on the brakes.
The car slowly came to a stop, and Mimi ran breathlessly to the side of the car. She leaped into the car.
Having finally gotten on the bus, Mimi immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with Yuzuru through her actions.
It stretched out its furry little paws and unleashed a flurry of cat punches at Yuxiang.
A black cat paw print immediately appeared on Yuxiang's face. Looking at the sulking Mimi, she quickly took out a Meow Meow Fruit from her game inventory.
She handed the Meow Meow Fruit to Mimi with a hint of apology.
"It was my fault, I accidentally forgot about you. Here's a Meow Meow Fruit, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
When Mimi smelled the Meow Meow Fruit, she immediately stopped her cat punching, her eyes sparkling. She nodded happily, then took the Meow Meow Fruit into her mouth and ate it with relish.
If there's a Meow Meow Fruit to eat, I'll forgive my owner this time!
Half an hour later.
Yu Xiang looked at Qiao Yue and asked, "Yueyue, which way are we going now?"
Qiao Yue: "Uh? I don't know either."
Yuxiang was getting anxious and pressed, "Didn't you say you knew the way? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Qiao Yue smiled awkwardly, "I don't recognize it now. I just thought that road looked familiar."
Yuka turned her gaze to Mimi, who was lying on the back seat. "Mimi, do you recognize her?"
Mimi lazily raised her head.
Meow~
This cat doesn't know the way around, but it can recognize the cats that just passed by.
Yuka: "I should have followed those three people."
So, the corpse, the person, and the cat drove around the road, stopping and starting intermittently.
Over the course of three days, they got lost and went in circles countless times, but they never gave up.
Finally, three days later, by chance, they saw the faint outline of the base in the distance and found the direction of the base.
They drove closer and carefully searched the area around the base, but found no trace of Qiao Yue or Chen Yunfei.
The two stopped at the last location they were searching and got out of the car.
Qiao Yue frowned slightly, glanced around, and said with a worried expression, "This is the last place we've searched. It seems that my sister and Chen Yunfei are not near the base."
Yuka frowned, pondering, and said, "Where would they go? Where should we look for them?"
Qiao Yue looked at the base in the distance, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment, but more so a determination.
"It's so hard to find people now, but as long as we're all alive, I believe we'll meet again."
Yuka nodded firmly. "Yes, we will definitely meet again."
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared out from behind them.
Upon seeing Yuxiang, the man's eyes widened instantly, a glint of excitement flashing in them. "You're Yuxiang! Come quick, Yuxiang's here!"
Qiao Yue reacted extremely quickly. Her eyes narrowed, and she rushed forward, striking the person with a swift and decisive blow.
The man fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Qiao Yue quickly grabbed Youxiang's hand, "We need to leave quickly, we've been discovered. There are definitely more of their people around here, it'll be too late if we don't leave now."
She was constantly worried that she would be discovered by the people at the base, and it happened anyway.
Moreover, judging from that person's expression, the people at the base had not given up searching for Youxiang despite the passage of time.
Qiao Yue and You Xiang ran quickly to the car.
As soon as they opened the car door, the group was drawn over by the shouts of the man from before.
These people also saw Yuka and showed the same excitement as the previous person.
"It smells like pomelo!"
"Quickly capture her; capturing her will bring you the lord's reward."
"Don't let her get away!"
...
When the group rushed over like hungry wolves, Youxiang and Qiaoyue had already quickly closed the car door.
Yu Xiang slammed on the gas pedal, and the car roared to life, the tires screeching as it sped off.
The group was too late and could only watch helplessly as the two left.
They stomped their feet in anger, their faces contorted with rage.
One of them said, "When we get back to the base, we must tell the lord that we found traces of Yuxiang here."
