While Fu Shiyi was busy proving his charm to his blind date, Gu Weiwei finished her work and announcements in Europe.
Then, they went to Australia to meet with the film's external affairs team to determine several filming locations in Australia.
The few scenic spots found by the external liaison team were in the uninhabited areas of Australia's Northern Territory.
Because Qiao Lin had a cold, she didn't take her and her assistant, Xiao Xu, with her on the trip.
She, along with Lei Ning, a location liaison for the film, and a local guide, drove through the no-man's-land.
Although the journey was long and the ride was bumpy and tiring, the scenery captured was very similar to the movie scenes.
After seeing it in person, she had already completely envisioned the scenes to be filmed.
However, the cell phone signal was intermittent along the way, so her contact with Fu Hanzheng was not so close.
However, whenever she reached a place with cell phone signal, she would send him a short message to let him know she was safe.
After walking for more than three days, Lei Ning inexplicably began to feel wary.
Wherever she went, she followed closely, even when she went to the restroom, she would still come along.
"I'm not a three-year-old child, I won't get lost, why are you always following me?"
Lei Ning said while chewing gum.
"There are two Hummers behind us, and they've been appearing around us every now and then for the past three days."
Knowing that she had been involved in an incident at the film festival last time, resulting in the deaths and injuries of the people she sent, she naturally had to be extra vigilant to prevent a repeat of the past.
Gu Weiwei washed her hands by the stream and then listened to her words.
"Perhaps we just happened to be going the same way."
Although the no-man's-land is sparsely populated, it is not uncommon for tourism and adventure enthusiasts to drive through it.
“It could be a coincidence once or twice, but today you went to film the scene, and you didn’t take that route. Judging by the speed of your cars, they should have been ahead of us long ago.”
As Lei Ning spoke, he didn't forget to look around at his surroundings.
Upon hearing this, Gu Weiwei's expression also became serious.
Are you sure they're not one of our own?
Fu Hanzheng had bodyguards following her, so if they kept following them, could it be their car?
"Probably not. If it were them, they would at least say something to me," Lei Ning said, urging her to get back to the car.
Gu Weiwei got back into the car and said.
"There's one last scenic spot. After we see it, we can leave the no-man's-land."
Although they didn't quite believe it, if the other party was really targeting them and made a move in this deserted area, there were only four of them in the car, so they would indeed be at a disadvantage.
However, after another day of travel, the two Hummers that Lei Ning had mentioned never reappeared.
Gu Weiwei and the others went to find the last location, and it was already dark.
The group returned to the car and met up with the guide, preparing to leave the no-man's-land for the city, and then take a plane back to meet up with Qiao Lin.
However, after driving for several hours, the car suddenly stalled halfway through the journey.
The guide got out of the car and spent a long time fixing it, but then had no choice but to say that their car couldn't move anymore.
But if they called for help, they would be in an area with no cell phone signal.
"If we wait for our rescue team to arrive, it will take at least two to three days, but the food and water on the truck will only last for one day at most."
Lei Ning checked the supplies in the car, his expression somewhat grave.
If the big boss can't contact them for a day, he'll definitely send someone to look for them.
It will take at least two to three days to find them in this no-man's-land.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the two suspicious-looking Hummers drove up behind them again.
And seeing that their car hadn't moved, they also stopped on the side of the road.
