Helicopters roared overhead, and soon a long, dark mountain range came into view.
From a distance, the mountain appears as black as ink, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, their dark green tentacles twisting and turning in a menacing manner.
The mountains were shrouded in miasma, and just looking at them made one feel suffocated.
Due to the unpredictable climate and chaotic magnetic field around Laoheishan, helicopters have difficulty landing in the mountains.
Chu Liyue had contacted God's reinforcements beforehand to confirm the landing point and asked them to wait for her.
After getting off the helicopter, two familiar faces approached – the two people who had been there to meet me during my last trip to the abandoned biochemical base.
Upon seeing Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue walking hand in hand, the old man gave a respectful smile and bowed slightly.
"President Chu, we meet Mr. Xiao again."
After the two nodded slightly, the old man pursed his dry lips and spoke with a hint of embarrassment:
"Last time I thought it was a small matter that could be resolved in no time, and I was even too embarrassed to tell you your names."
"My name is Shi Feng."
He then pointed to the woman beside him, "Mirnah Garry."
As Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue stepped off the helicopter, the others followed them and stood behind them.
When Shi Feng's gaze fell upon Ye Jinyu, whose expression remained calm, and he greeted him warmly as "Mr. Ye," a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.
He knew Ye Jinyu, but he had not received any orders from above to participate in this operation.
She nodded slightly to him, and meeting his slightly surprised gaze, Ye Jinyu spoke softly:
"I volunteered to serve as the accompanying doctor on this trip, and it has nothing to do with the organization."
As for the deeper reasons for his involvement in the operation, he didn't say, and naturally no one delved into it.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a serious expression appeared in Shi Feng's eyes. His gaze swept over the large group of God elites standing behind him, and he spoke to Chu Liyue in a deep voice:
"President Chu, the higher-ups attach great importance to this operation."
"I and the elite group of handpicked personnel behind me will obey General Chu's orders in everything."
As he spoke, he pulled a rolled-up piece of brown paper from his pocket.
"This is a map of the outer perimeter of Laoheishan Mountain, drawn at General Chu's request. As for the interior..."
"President Chu also knows that God has been virtually unexplored..."
Taking the map from his hand, Chu Liyue didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered the car to head to Laoheishan.
Surrounded by admirers, Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie sat together in the back seat of the off-road vehicle.
Holding Xiao Wujie's hands in her own to warm them, Chu Liyue spoke softly, her eyes filled with concern:
"Sweetie, how are you feeling?"
After getting off the helicopter, she went straight to the car and drove off, worried that he might be tired and uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie shook his head slightly. The body-strengthening drug that Chu Liyue had injected into him had already taken effect, and he could even clearly feel that his spirit was clearer and more vigorous than usual.
He gently bit his lower lip, then reached out and hooked his hand around Chu Liyue's finger. His misty eyes gazed intently at her, as if about to speak:
"hug……"
They wouldn't let me hold you on the helicopter because it was dangerous, but surely I can hold you in the car?
There are no traffic police checking vehicles in this remote mountain forest.
A helpless yet doting smile flickered across Chu Liyue's deep, cold eyes. "Hug, hug, I'll hug you now."
Before she finished speaking, she reached out and pulled him into her arms, making him sit sideways on her lap.
She then took his hand and placed it on her warm waist, letting him hug her while warming his hand.
Her slender, long arms encircled his thin body, her sharply defined chin rested lightly on his bony shoulder, and Chu Liyue gently breathed into his ear:
"Sweetie, can't you get enough of hugging me?"
The warm, fragrant breath sprayed against his ear, causing Xiao Wujie's body to tremble involuntarily. He then buried his face in Chu Liyue's neck, nuzzling her affectionately.
"Um……"
"not enough……"
I can never hug him enough.
If he could, he would even like to be crippled and stay in her arms for the rest of his life.
A hint of tenderness and warmth appeared in her cold and lonely eyes. Chu Liyue didn't say anything more, but simply hugged him tighter and gently inhaled the cool fragrance emanating from his body.
The gloomy and dark scene outside the window flashed across her eyes, making her cold and beautiful face half-hidden between light and shadow, appearing even more noble and mysterious.
She wanted to hold him as long as she could, because once they entered Laoheishan Mountain, she might not have the chance to hold him even if she wanted to.
There is a road leading into the mountains on the outermost edge of Laoheishan Mountain, which extends all the way to the entrance to the mountain.
The roads inside the mountain pass are rugged and treacherous, all naturally formed, with cliffs and dead ends everywhere, making it difficult for any vehicle to travel through; exploration can only be done by human effort.
Looking out the car window, the highway resembles a pale ribbon, winding through this land forgotten by the world.
Ancient trees, towering and blocking out the sun, stand on both sides of the road, their branches intertwined to form an impenetrable barrier.
The surrounding world was shrouded in chaos. The ancient trees seemed to have a life of their own, their twisted branches beckoning to them, trying to pull any intruders into the endless abyss ahead.
Even just the outermost perimeter, the eerie scene still sent chills down one's spine.
The bright headlights pierced the increasingly thick darkness, speeding away into the endless night.
After driving at high speed for an unknown period of time, the cars ahead began to stop one after another. Chu Liyue leaned back slightly and hugged Xiao Wujie tightly in her arms to prevent him from being jolted.
The off-road vehicle came to a smooth stop, and Chu Liyue carefully helped Xiao Wujie out of the vehicle.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, a gust of cold wind hit him in the face, flowing down his collar and into his chest, making Xiao Wujie shiver involuntarily.
Chu Liyue gently reached out and helped him straighten his collar, then carefully helped him put on the hood of his trench coat.
"If you're cold, tired, or uncomfortable, you must tell me. You can't force yourself to be tough, and you're not allowed to hide it from me."
After patiently explaining everything, Chu Liyue took Xiao Wujie's hand and walked towards the crowd that had already lined up and were waiting.
After exchanging a glance with Chu Liyue, Shi Feng's expression turned solemn, and his aged, deep voice rang in everyone's ears:
"Everyone, check if any supplies are missing."
"In addition, our team includes God, Shadowblade, and people who directly report to President Chu."
"We are all acting under General Manager Chu's orders. I hope that we can all cooperate sincerely and stand together through thick and thin."
"After all, this place is dangerous. If there is even the slightest mistake, we could all lose our lives here!"
Having explained the necessary matters, Shi Feng didn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand, and God's elite troops surged to the front to clear the way.
At Chu Nanfeng's command, the Shadow Blade elites consciously followed behind the main force to cover the rear.
The small but elite team immediately set off in an orderly fashion along the rugged mountain path toward the eerie, hellish mountain range ahead...
