Darkness enveloped the earth, as black as spilled ink. Chu Yunxiao drove his car, chasing after the light ahead. When he saw the swarm of mutated rats in front of him, his eyes filled with hatred. He roared and slammed on the gas pedal, the car running over the dense swarm of mutated rats.
Suddenly, Chu Yunxiao saw Liu Anran'er's car fall off the cliff. His eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down his face without him realizing it. His woman and his son were in the car!
Chu Yunxiao drove to the spot where Liu Anran's car overturned, immediately got out, and staggered to the damaged fence. Seeing the explosion coming from below the cliff, his face showed grief and regret, and he couldn't help but shout towards the cliff: "Anran, Yunlong, Anran, Yunlong..."
"An Ran, why didn't you wait for me to come back? Why didn't you wait for me!"
"Yunlong, Yunlong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I was wrong, I shouldn't have left you."
Chu Yunxiao felt as if all his strength had been drained away. His body went limp, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, pounding his fist on the ground. Why did he have to leave? If he hadn't left, An Ran and Yunlong wouldn't have been in danger, and An Ran wouldn't have been able to escape in the car, only to end up in a fatal crash.
Liu Anran stared in horror as the car crashed out of control into the railing and plunged off the cliff.
Liu Anran was dizzy from the impact, feeling as if her internal organs had been displaced. With a thought, she immediately entered the space.
As soon as Yunlong saw Liu Anran enter the space, he immediately rushed towards her.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
Liu Anran plopped down on the ground, not wanting to worry Yunlong or frighten him, and said through the pain, "Yunlong, Mommy isn't feeling well, please let Mommy rest a bit."
Yunlong stood in front of Liu Anran, looking at her with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Liu Anran said, "Yunlong, Mom is fine. Get Mom a glass of water from your space."
Upon hearing this, Yunlong immediately ran to get a water glass, filled it with water for Liu Anran, and carefully handed it to her.
Liu Anran took the water glass, slowly drank the water in it, put the glass on the ground, stood up and walked to the bedside. She looked at Yunlong, who was following closely behind her, patted his head, and whispered, "Mom is a little tired and needs to lie down and rest. You play by yourself."
Yunlong nodded sensibly, "Mom, you go to sleep! I won't run around."
Liu Anran said with satisfaction, "Yunlong is such a good boy." Then she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Yunlong looked at the bruise on Liu Anran's forehead, which looked particularly irritating against her fair skin.
Yunlong climbed onto the bed, leaned in, and blew a few times on the wound on Liu Anran's forehead. He said that if he blew on it, the pain would fly away and his mother would feel better.
Liu Anran opened her eyes and said softly, "Mommy doesn't hurt anymore, you lie down and sleep with Mommy for a while."
Yunlong lay down next to Liu Anran, his hand clutching her clothes.
Liu Anran sighed. Yunlong was frightened by the mutated rats.
The darkness gradually dissipated, and the faint light slowly drove away the darkness, heralding the arrival of a new day.
Qin Ruixu stood on the road, gazing eastward as the sky began to lighten. He then said to Jiang Cheng and Wang Ping, who were standing beside him, "Yunxiao hasn't returned yet?"
"Not yet!" Jiang Cheng replied.
Qin Ruixu shifted his gaze to the blocked road and instructed, "Push the car next to the fence to the bottom of the cliff to clear a path. We'll drive along the road and search; we're sure to find Yunxiao."
Jiang Cheng and Wang Ping woke up everyone who was sleeping, and together they pushed the car off the roadside off the cliff.
Qin Ruixu sat in the car, rubbing his forehead with a headache. He guessed that Chu Yunxiao had encountered some trouble.
Zhang Anqi said with dissatisfaction, "Brother Qin, Liu Anran is such a troublemaker. Why is she driving around like that so late at night?"
"If you don't shut up, I'll throw you out," Qin Ruixu said coldly.
Seeing the cold aura emanating from Qin Ruixu, Zhang Anqi knew that if she continued talking, Qin Ruixu would definitely throw her out of the car, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Wang Ping approached the car window and said to Qin Ruixu, who was smoking, "Boss, we've cleared a path. When do we set off?"
"Have everyone get on the bus, we're ready to depart," Qin Ruixu said.
...
Qin Ruixu saw a car parked on the side of the road from afar, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
The car stopped by the roadside. As soon as Qin Ruixu got out of the car, he saw Chu Yunxiao sitting dejectedly by the fence. When he saw the damaged fence, his expression darkened.
Jiang Cheng and Wang Ping got out of the car one after another. When they saw Chu Yunxiao with a dejected look on his face, and did not see Yunlong and Liu Anran, they guessed that something had happened to Liu Anran and Yunlong.
Qin Ruixu asked, "Yunxiao, what happened? Didn't you find Liu Anran and Yunlong?"
Chu Yunxiao stared blankly down the cliff and said, "It's gone, it'll never be found again."
Qin Ruixu's expression changed slightly, his pupils contracted, and he walked to the railing, looking down at the cliff below. He asked coldly, "Liu Anran's car fell off the cliff?"
Chu Yunxiao held his head in his hands and said painfully, "Uncle, Yunlong is dead, An Ran is dead, they are all dead."
Bai Lu looked at her injured left hand, a gloating smile flashing in her eyes. Serves her right, good riddance! It would be best if her body was never found.
Zhang Anqi felt a surge of joy. Liu Anran and her child were both dead, so wouldn't she have a chance to be with Chu Yunxiao?
Luo Yuyu and Chen Biao looked at each other in disbelief. They were dead. Liu Anran and Yunlong were both dead, not from being bitten by mutated rats, but from a car accident!
Qin Ruixu recalled Liu Anran's beautiful face and Yunlong's innocent smile, and looked at Chu Yunxiao with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Liu Anran is your woman, Yunlong is your son, why don't you protect them? Are you even a man?"
"I heard screams and was worried that Jiang Cheng and the others were in danger, so I told An Ran to stay in the car with the child while I got out to check what was going on. But I never expected her to drive away, let alone that a car accident would happen," Chu Yunxiao said.
Qin Ruixu said with exasperation, "Jiang Cheng and the others are all adults, but Yunlong is still a child. He's so young. How could you leave him in the car?"
"I told An Ran to wait for me to come back, but I don't know why she drove away with Yunlong," Chu Yunxiao said helplessly.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yuyu decided to recount everything he had heard and seen.
"I heard a crash, I heard Yunlong crying, and I saw a huge rat lying on the car with its claws gripping the windshield wiper groove, and a large group of mutated rats running behind the car."
Chu Yunxiao's expression changed drastically. It wasn't that Liu Anran was unwilling to wait for him, but the circumstances at the time forced her to leave.
