Chapter 227 Fang Ke! Don't die!
The "Mist," amplified by the "Blockade," suddenly distorted and warped, becoming even more bizarre.
"Heh, let's see how capable you are. If you don't die this time, I'll kowtow to you right here and now."
Su Yao was confident of victory, only waiting for the cards in her hand to be stained red with blood.
She is now the most carefree person on the entire mountain, just waiting to take a nap and wake up to receive good news.
At this point, Su Yao finally let out the anger she had felt a few days ago.
As soon as Fang Ke and the others entered the mist, the bracelet hidden under her sleeve began to heat up continuously. Fang Ke reached out and squeezed it, signaling it to calm down.
She knew, of course, that this was a trap set by Su Yao, but she never expected that Su Yao would be so ruthless as to drag everyone down with her.
If this drags on any longer, not only will some people lose their minds, but the most pressing issue will soon be the depletion of food reserves.
Fang Ke knew that after she left, the fog would likely shift along with her path, allowing the people on the mountain to at least descend first.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yefan insisted on coming with her.
Fang Yefan held a compass with a serious expression, constantly looking out the window, alert for any danger.
Fortunately, apart from the heavy fog, we haven't encountered any other problems along the way.
Half an hour into the drive, he suddenly realized something.
"We...it seems we weren't lost in a maze, we've made it out?"
Fang Yefan turned his head in surprise and saw Fang Ke's cool and pretty profile, her eyes staring straight ahead with a cold gaze.
Hearing Fang Yefan's words, she simply said, "There is no ghost wall, but it's uncertain which way to go."
"……What's the meaning?"
Fang Ke asked, "Haven't you noticed? The road has become very difficult to walk on since just now."
Upon hearing Fang Ke's words, Fang Yefan immediately understood.
The road down the mountain was a paved road, so it shouldn't have been this bumpy.
He couldn't help but swallow hard, a chill running down his spine.
"Have we driven into a snowy forest? We're doomed..."
The nearby snow-covered forests stretch for thousands of miles, with no visible boundaries, and even connect to the border.
There have been news reports of tourists getting lost in the snowy forest, with no bodies ever found, and they simply disappearing mysteriously.
In these mountains, the difficult roads are secondary; there's also the extreme weather, the low temperatures, and the presence of many unexpected wild animals. Encountering a snake or a bear could be fatal.
But now they can't just abandon the car and run away; it's still safer inside.
Just as Fang Yefan was thinking this, their car crashed into a tree with a loud bang.
"..."
"..."
"Holy crap, why are you driving into the trees?"
Fang Ke clicked his tongue. "There really was a road in front of us just now."
Fang Yefan first asked her if she had been hurt anywhere. Seeing that they were both alright, he said with relief, "It's a good thing I was with you. How could you be so careless? Should I drive again?"
Fang Ke pursed her lips and remained silent as she reversed the car, ignoring his suggestion. This time, she drove even more cautiously than before.
But the two never expected that when they saw a straight road ten meters ahead, if they actually drove across it, the car would fall straight down the hillside and crash into the icy lake without even having time to brake!
The immense pressure caused the front seat airbags to deploy immediately.
The frozen lake was broken by the tremendous impact, and the drivable car sank into the icy water without any struggle.
Anyone would be unable to remain calm in the face of such a turn of events.
For the first time, Fang Yefan felt a chill run through him from head to toe; for the first time, he felt death was so close to him.
What's worse is that in such a critical moment, a person's mind goes blank, and at this moment, he can't even think of what to say in his last words.
"Fang... Fang Ke..."
Fang Yefan's face was ashen, and he could only subconsciously call her name, "Fang Ke...we might be dying..."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes amidst his fear.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I insisted on dragging you to this film crew..."
Fang Yefan felt increasingly uncomfortable as he spoke, until finally his throat felt completely blocked, and he was too sore to speak.
The light was dim under the lake, and the deeper the car sank, the more he felt he couldn't breathe.
"sorry……"
"Fang Yefan." Fang Ke didn't have time to waste words with him. "Listen to my instructions. Now unbuckle your seatbelt, recline your seat back, and climb into the back seat."
"……I."
"hurry up."
Fang Yefan reacted instinctively and immediately did it.
He climbed onto the back seat and called out, "Fang Ke, where are you!"
Fang Ke quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, reclined the seat back, and climbed into the back seat.
Now, under the pressure of the water, they can no longer open the car door.
"What should we do next?"
Fang Ke raised her chin and suddenly asked him, "Did you bring the golden hammer I gave you?"
"...How did you know I brought it?"
"Alright, enough talk, just take it out."
Fang Yefan was puzzled, but still took it out of his backpack. "You don't mean to use this hammer to break the window? How could that be? It's made of gold. Gold is too soft; you can't break it with a hammer."
Fang Ke could simply ask him to give her the hammer, and then tell him to take his own things with him.
"You really thought I was so kind as to give you hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold? Sorry, it's gold-plated."
Fang Yefan: "?"
While Fang Yefan was looking on with a puzzled expression, Fang Ke had already smashed the glass window open with a bang, and then reached out to open the car door.
A large amount of icy cold lake water rushed in instantly.
Fang Ke nudged Fang Yefan, who was still in a daze, and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
Fang Yefan swam away while gritting his teeth, "Fang Ke! You stingy bastard! You actually gave me a gold-plated one!"
Fang Ke ignored him. Fang Yefan was also a good swimmer. He looked back several times and saw Fang Ke behind him, so he felt relieved and swam towards the lake.
But Fang Yefan didn't expect that a few minutes after he came up, the lake was still calm and no one else appeared.
"...that's acceptable!"
Fang Yefan's heart had been in his throat all day, and now he was so nervous that it was almost stopping.
All sorts of bad things were running through his mind. He quickly dropped his bag and plunged into the lake, but no matter how many times he dived, he still couldn't find Fang Ke anywhere.
"That's acceptable!"
Fang Yefan shouted anxiously, but only the echo from the snow forest answered him.
Fang Yefan's mind was completely blank at this moment, and it was impossible to tell whether the droplets on his cold face were water droplets or tears.
If someone were to die coldly at the bottom of a lake...
The moment this thought crossed Fang Yefan's mind, his legs went weak and he collapsed to his knees.
He will never forgive himself in this lifetime.
He screamed at the lake with all his might, "Fang Ke! Come out! Don't die! I beg you!"
Fang Yefan broke down in tears, and just then, the sound of water breaking came from the lake again.
"call!"
Fang Ke's face was pale, but he managed to swim to the surface.
She threw her bag ashore and then swam over with difficulty on all fours. Seeing Fang Yefan staring at her blankly, Fang Ke also plopped down on the ground, exhausted.
"There seemed to be something strange at the bottom of the lake... I almost couldn't get back up..."
Fang Ke made it sound simple, but she knew that if it weren't for her strong physique and the help of the obsidian, she might have really died here.
A cold smile crept across her face, a self-deprecating smirk playing on her lips. "Truly, she's got a lucky life..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Yefan suddenly rushed over and hugged her tightly. Then, he couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears on her.
Fang Ke: "..."
"Fang Ke, I fucking thought you were going to die!"
Fang Ke laughed and said, "You're shouting so loudly, even the King of Hell would let you pass. Don't worry, evil people live for a thousand years, but I'll live for at least a thousand years."
Fang Yefan was not comforted; endless fear almost overwhelmed him. He cried so hard he could barely breathe. Fang Ke was powerless to comfort him and could only pat him on the shoulder.
"Do you even act like a proper older brother? What kind of older brother cries like this? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Can't an older brother cry? Any older brother would do the same."
Fang Yefan cried and sobbed as he tried to explain, but Fang Ke rolled her eyes and let him go.
Once both of them had calmed down, Little B's slightly heavy and anxious voice rang in Fang Ke's ear, "[Host, host, can you hear me? Fang Yefan's favorability rating has just increased by 200 points.]"
