"Let's go!" Lin Feng made a decisive decision, ignoring his still-healing wounds, and struggled to his feet. He pointed to the right front and said, "Run towards the cliff we passed yesterday. There's a cave there where we can hide temporarily!" The beast tide wouldn't end anytime soon, and it was too late to leave the forest now. They could only hide and wait for the beast tide to pass.
Seemingly accustomed to obeying his orders, everyone nodded and immediately stood up. Lin Feng turned to look at You You beside him. Considering that women are usually weak and might not be able to keep up, his serious tone softened instantly, and he said apologetically, "Miss, the situation is special, I apologize for offending you, I need to trouble you..." He was about to say that he would ask her to bear with it and designate one of his brothers to carry her away.
You You nodded vigorously first, patted her chest, and said righteously, "Understood!"
Without a word, he suddenly grabbed Lin Feng's other intact arm, turned around, bent down, and hoisted the injured man onto his back. Leading the charge, he swiftly and decisively sprinted in the direction Lin Feng had pointed, yelling, "Run!"
Lin Feng: "..."
Liu Qing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
(⊙_⊙)
This person was injured while saving her and has difficulty moving. It's her responsibility, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to carry him!
——————
Youyou carried someone on her back, but she didn't find it difficult to run. Her speed was no different from before, and she even had to slow down from time to time to wait for the person behind her.
Lin Feng, carried on her back, wore an expression of disbelief throughout. At first, he was worried she was just putting on a brave face and planned to tell her not to worry about him. Saving her was the right thing to do; any man would have done the same.
But she turned out to be incredibly fast, even faster than him, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Unlike his brothers, he had seen many women, but without exception, they were all delicate and frail, the kind who were carefully protected by others. They probably hadn't even seen a living demon beast in their entire lives, let alone entered this kind of forest. And certainly not someone carrying an injured man like him, moving swiftly through the forest.
Anyway, it was... very sudden.
(⊙x⊙;)
The roaring sounds behind them grew louder and louder. They could even vaguely see the densely packed figures of monsters in the distance when they turned their heads. As the beast tide drew closer and closer to them, they finally reached the cliff at the last moment and went straight into a cave below.
"Seal the cave entrance!" Lin Feng ordered in a deep voice.
The last two to enter the cave immediately drew their swords and slashed at the cave entrance. A loud rumble followed, and rubble rained down from the cave entrance, blocking it completely, leaving only a few narrow gaps.
The next moment, a deafening roar erupted outside, the earth shook, and one after another, enormous figures flashed by, heading into the distance with an aura that seemed capable of crushing everything.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they had dodged it.
Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the beast tide outside hadn't completely subsided, they seemed safe.
“Miss…” Lin Feng patted her shoulder, his face instantly turning bright red, “You can put me down now.” People like them rarely interacted with women, let alone being carried like this. The situation was tense just now, but now that it was safe, he suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed.
"Oh, oh." Youyou then squatted down and put the person down, carefully examining his injuries. "Are you feeling any better?"
"Thank you... for your concern, young lady." Lin Feng blushed even more when she suddenly leaned closer, and his heart pounded wildly for a moment. "I am fine now! I was able to survive thanks to the elixir I received earlier. I will remember your life-saving grace for the rest of my life."
He spoke with such earnestness, as if he truly intended to repay her with his entire life. You You felt even more guilty and quickly shook her head, saying, "You were injured saving me, isn't it only right that I give you medicine?"
"You flatter me, young lady..." Lin Feng looked at her in surprise, as if he wanted to explain something, but the group of people observing the beast tide at the cave entrance walked over.
“Boss,” Liu Qing said with a solemn expression, “This beast tide seems to be particularly large, more serious than before. I just saw even seventh-tier demonic beasts appear. I estimate it might not stop for a while.”
Lin Feng's face also darkened, and his brows furrowed deeply. After a while, he said, "Then we'll wait here for a few more days until the beast tide completely recedes before returning to the city." After saying that, he turned to You You with an apologetic expression and said, "I'm afraid we can only trouble you, Miss, to endure this in the cave with us for a while."
"I understand." Youyou immediately nodded to show her full cooperation. When it comes to escaping for her life, she doesn't care about anything else.
Seeing her expression, Lin Feng and Liu Qing felt even more guilty, as if letting her stay in this simple cave for several days was some heinous crime that would anger both heaven and man. Lin Feng repeatedly assured her, "Don't worry, young lady, we will definitely protect your safety."
Liu Qing patted his chest, as if afraid she would be scared, and added, "That's right, even if it costs me my life, I will never let the monster harm you in the slightest, and I will definitely send you back to the city safely."
He spoke earnestly, and Lin Feng's expression became even more serious. Even the few people observing the monsters at the door frequently turned around with expressions of agreement.
Youyou was immediately filled with gratitude. What an incredibly kind person!
I never expected that I would encounter such a group of selfless and kind people as soon as I transmigrated. They had just met for the first time. It is true that there is genuine kindness in the world and there are still many good people in the world!
"Thank you, thank you, brothers!" You You was deeply moved and felt a surge of brotherhood, as if they were bound by a shared destiny. He grasped Liu Qing's hand and said, "However, if we're going back, we'll all go back together. Not one of us can be missing!"
