Chapter 57: Survival from a desperate situation You have always been my responsibility, nothing else...
A few minutes ago.
Wen Yi was about to jump out of the pickup truck, but the next moment Zhuang Haoren stepped on the accelerator and took her on a fatal journey.
The pickup truck sped through the night. She glanced at the black SUV chasing her in the rearview mirror and felt that she might not be able to escape this time.
If Gu Yifeng caught up with her, he would sooner or later discover that there was something wrong with her identity. Once exposed, not only would she be doomed, but it would also trigger a chain reaction at future time points, with unimaginable consequences.
But if she managed to escape, she would definitely be killed by Zhuang Haoren.
There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind.
Without time to think about it, she decided to take a gamble!
Wen Yi took a deep breath, and when the other party was not paying attention, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel!
"Fuck!! What are you doing!!"
The car body began to shake violently. Zhuang Haoren was shocked and angry. He tried desperately to steady the direction, but it was too late.
The car was going too fast, the tires made a sharp friction sound, and the car swayed left and right, losing its balance. Then it suddenly flipped sideways and rolled into the woods beside the road.
The whole world began to spin. In a flash, countless cones of light flashed before Wen Yi's eyes. The air around her seemed to solidify, then began to twist and collapse...
In the dark woods, Wen Yi was the first to climb out of the pickup truck, and the sound of twisting metal came from behind her.
Her body was covered in scrapes and blood was oozing out, but she didn't dare to stop for a second and stumbled into the woods.
There were no lights in the woods, only the faint moonlight.
She quickly hid behind a big tree, gritted her teeth to endure the severe pain, and observed her surroundings while breathing out white air.
Soon, footsteps were heard in the distance, and Gu Yifeng arrived with Ni Qianfan.
Wen Yi immediately held her breath.
From this angle, only Gu Yifeng's back could be seen. He was wearing the same black clothes that never changed. He stared at the overturned truck in front of him, motionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a while, he began to calmly survey the scene and deploy tasks.
He looked a little tired, but still kept his back straight.
Wen Yi withdrew her gaze, bit her lips tightly, and suppressed all emotions.
He is a key node on this timeline and there can be no deviation.
Even though I know I can't see him now, I still want to look at him a few more times.
She couldn't help but lean forward slightly again, her eyes once again falling on the familiar figure.
At this moment, Gu Yifeng seemed to sense something, turned around suddenly, and looked towards the woods in the distance.
"Brother Fan, I'll go over and take a look."
He strode towards where she was hiding, and in a blink of an eye, he was behind a tree.
There was no one here, only frost on the ground. Compared to the surrounding area, the air here seemed frozen.
*
The scene was quickly cordoned off, and police and forensic doctors arrived one after another.
Under the survey light, the overturned pickup truck lay silently in the woods like a dead beast.
The scene was tense and solemn, with shutter sounds and flashes coming one after another, and the evidence collectors were recording every detail.
"Old Gu, it has been confirmed that there is only one male body in the car." Ni Qianfan walked over from the forensic doctor's side with a serious tone.
Gu Yifeng stood in front of the car, his eyes fixed on the door. He nodded and said in a low voice, "Start a search immediately. She can't get far."
"clear."
Ni Qianfan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Old Gu..."
"explain."
"The condition of the bodies is highly similar to the previous two explosions." He chose his words carefully. "It's as if... they were instantly twisted and crushed to death by some kind of energy."
Gu Yifeng frowned slightly: "I understand." After a moment of silence, he added, "Notify the police that the Seventh Bureau has taken over this case.
The night wind blew through the woods, rustling the branches and leaves.
Gu Yifeng stood there, looking into the depths of the woods, as if looking for something.
Was she in the car when it flipped over? Was she injured in such a serious accident?
Has she escaped? Is she safe now?
These questions swirled in his mind, but he had no answers.
He knew that the woman was not an ordinary person, but she was a human being after all. She would feel pain, bleed, and be afraid.
How can I find her?
*
Wen Yi was shivering from the chill she felt after using her ability. Her limbs had already lost feeling and her teeth were chattering slightly.
She hid behind another big tree, frequently looking at the area blocked by police in the distance, her heart beating faster and faster.
She guessed that Gu Yifeng would come to search sooner or later, but fortunately she quickly moved to another place to hide to avoid being caught by him.
For some reason, she felt like there was a vague gaze on her, as if someone was spying on her in the dark, making her feel uneasy.
When I looked out again, I saw that the police were indeed moving towards this side, with their flashlight beams constantly sweeping back and forth.
Damn... this happened too fast.
Gu Yifeng, are you targeting me?
Run? Or not run?
If you run, you will be discovered immediately. If you don’t run... you are doomed too!
Wen Yi now understood what it meant to "die anyway."
As the police were getting closer, suddenly, a big hand stretched out from behind and grabbed her, and another hand quickly covered her mouth.
Wen Yi:!!!
Misfortunes never come alone!
Just as she was about to struggle, she heard a familiar voice in her ear: "Shh. Don't be afraid, it's me!"
It was Wen Chi.
Wen Yi froze and blinked in disbelief.
How come I met him here?
I recalled that day in the hotel when he said, "I'm going to Yunchuan City to do something..."
I see.
"Hide here and don't move. I'll lead them away." Wen Chi relaxed and disappeared behind her.
I don't know how he did it, but as he said, the flashlights left the area.
"Come with me." His voice sounded again. Wen Yi turned around suddenly and was grabbed by the wrist by him, walking quickly towards the highway.
Wen Chi asked as they walked, "Where are you going next?"
Wen Yi was in a trance for a moment, her mind went blank.
She didn't know where she was going, where else could she go?
Ever since I lost contact with the laboratory, every day feels like a fugitive, coming and going in a hurry.
She didn't even know where she was or what time it was.
Wen Yi turned to look at Wen Chi, her throat choking. Could she tell him the truth?
She felt melancholy in her heart and slowly stopped walking.
Wen Chi glanced at her and stopped as well.
"What are you doing in the wild woods so late at night? Feeding mosquitoes?" His tone was as annoying as ever, but it sounded reassuring at this moment.
Wen Yi's nose felt strangely sore. "I... was just taking a walk. Who said you can't take a walk in the middle of the night?"
"Heh." Wen Chi sneered and looked her up and down, "Why are you dressed like that?" But he stopped talking after seeing the blood on her body.
"Change your style." Wen Yi pulled her sleeves to cover the scrapes on her hands. She was still wearing the gray hoodie Cheng Yan had given her.
"Heh." Wen Chi turned around, but his tone softened, "You look really bad."
After a long silence, he suddenly said, "You are not her, right?"
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Then he forced a smile and said guiltily, "What are you talking about? Who else could I be? Your eyesight is really terrible."
Wen Chi looked into her eyes, revealing a rare complex expression: "You must have suffered a lot along the way?"
Wen Yi: ...
She and Wen Chi met eyes, but didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent.
He paused, reached out and pulled her into his arms, then gently patted the back of her head.
"Don't cry, I won't ask."
Huh? Wen Yi came back to her senses and looked up blankly: "Who's crying?"
Wen Chi didn't say anything, but raised his hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and patted her shoulder gently.
"Cry if you want to."
Wen Yi opened her mouth and her nose felt sore.
"Well..." Tears finally burst out.
Her body trembled slightly, but she didn't sob. Only tears flowed continuously, like a river flowing quietly under Yuexi Mountain.
He hesitated again and again, and finally pressed her into his arms, gently touching her hair: "What happened?"
The person in his arms didn't answer.
Wen Chi felt his entire shoulder was soaked with her tears, and said helplessly: "You...stay at home honestly from now on, and don't go down the mountain again."
Wen Yi sighed inwardly.
Brother, it’s too late for you to say that.
There is no future.
Inside a hotel in Yunchuan
Wen Yi finally had the chance to take a shower and change into the new clothes Wen Chi bought for her.
The fear and fatigue of these days finally left her, and the long-lost sense of security almost made her cry.
When she came out of the bathroom, Wen Chi was sitting by the bed waiting for her. He motioned for her to sit down and carefully bandaged the wound on her hand.
His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Wen Yi stared at his drooping eyelashes and asked tentatively: "You...don't you even ask where I came from?"
Wen Chi raised his eyes and glanced at her, his gaze calm, as if nothing would surprise him.
"Of course I want to know," he replied softly, his eyes fixed on the back of her injured hand. "But no matter where you come from, you are my responsibility. Nothing else matters."
Wen Yi was surprised and asked, "What if you find out that I'm not the me you know?"
He pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "So what, as long as it's you, it's enough."
Wen Yi was stunned, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.
"Brother, you have a big vision!" If she wasn't bandaging her hand, she really wanted to applaud him.
Wen Chi looked disgusted: "I don't want to ask who you are, I just want to ask if you still want to go home with me."
Wen Yi's originally better mood plummeted in an instant.
She also wanted to know how to get home.
But now that things have developed to this point, how can we go back?
After bandaging the wound, Wen Chi put away the scissors and gauze and continued to ask her, "Didn't you say that the first thing you should do after coming down the mountain is to go to Yunhu City to meet your savior? Did you manage to meet him?"
Wen Yi smiled awkwardly: "Let's talk about it later."
Not only did he see him, he was hunted by his "savior" every day.
She secretly glanced at Wen Chi's expression. Was it her illusion? There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone when he spoke.
But he didn't know Gu Yifeng at that time...
She looked at him puzzledly: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Wen Chi shrugged and said casually, "Just asking. If you want to go to Yunhu City, I can take you there."
He said this, but his eyes secretly scanned the expression on her face.
Wen Yi paused for a moment. Going to Yunhu City? At least there was the Zero Lab there! She might still have a chance!
"Okay!" Wen Yi nodded immediately.
*
This "OK" had a different meaning to Wen Chi.
Does she really want to meet that guy named Gu?
Didn't he just save her that year? He would probably save a cat or a dog as well. Is it necessary to remember it for so many years?
He packed his things calmly, but an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
"Rest early. I'll take you to Yunhu City tomorrow morning... to see your savior."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: So the question is, can Wen Chi apply to join the Shura Field? Can he start a pseudo-orthopedics side storyline?
If you want to see it, press your paw. If you don't like it, you can also press your paw.
But the ending must be 1v1 he [sunglasses][blue heart]
