A trace of disdain appeared on Zhou Wei's face again as he watched Qi Siling start to fight with several soldiers like a madman.
Xia Youyou watched the secret room close, and saw Qi Siling outside beating people with her fists. "If you dare to touch him, when I come out, you will beg me for mercy!" She stared at Zhou Wei coldly, her eyes beginning to turn bloodshot.
Zhou Wei's heart tightened for no apparent reason, and her terrifying stare brought out the panic in him. Could it be that his method was wrong? But didn't they all have to go through this stage when they came in?
Qi Siling attacked the defending soldiers like crazy, trying to rush to the secret room. He was wrong. He shouldn't have let her interfere in this crappy research. What did the future destruction of the Earth have to do with him now? He just wanted that little fox in fairy's clothing to be safe and sound! Thinking of this, his eyes became more fierce, and he tangled with several soldiers who were enraged by his punches.
The door to the secret room slammed shut. Xia Youyou was filled with rage. She saw those people surrounding Qi Siling and beating her! She clenched her small fist and slammed it hard against the stone door. The rough stone scratched her skin, and her hand immediately bled. As if unconscious, she turned and sat down on the stool in the middle of the secret room.
Xia Youyou's eyes were cold, no longer as silly and cute as usual. She knew that she was being tested by this country, but she didn't like this kind of test!
"Just do what you want to do." She couldn't hear the sounds of fighting outside; the silence in the chamber was so suffocating. After a year in this world, she had grown accustomed to the sounds of wind, water, and even the voices of her family and friends. The sudden silence felt like she was back in that sealed underground base, and she felt inexplicably panicked.
She missed her mother's nagging, Cao An's exasperation, Qi Siling's whispers, and Xiao Hai's playful banter. She didn't like such a quiet place! She didn't like it!
"Come on! Just do what you want to do!" She roared angrily, staring fiercely at the void.
"Squeak~"
Xia Youyou was startled by the piercing sound of electricity that echoed throughout the secret room. She covered her ears fiercely, and suddenly a ruthless intention filled her heart! These people actually used radio noise to deal with her! Unable to hold back, Xia Youyou muttered a curse in the enclosed space.
She stood up with difficulty, found a corner of the wall and squatted down, curled up with her head buried in her arms, but her hand grabbed something from space and held it tightly. Only then did she feel better.
The noise lasted for ten minutes. The longer it lasted, the more Xia Youyou sneered. It seemed that these people didn't want her to do research at all.
Fine, since she doesn’t want it, then from now on, no matter how much people beg, she won’t give it to them!
"Who are you?" Zhou Wei's voice echoed in the empty chamber. Xia Youyou slowly raised her head, and once she was sure she didn't see anyone, she knew there must be a one-way mirror. To avoid exposing herself, she stood up, swayed, rushed to the center, grabbed a chair, and threw it against the wall.
There was no breakage in one spot, and no unusual sound. She silently dragged the chair over and smashed it in another spot. After several rounds of smashing, more than ten times, she finally found a place where the sound was muffled.
Xia Youyou raised the corners of her lips, smiling cutely and innocently, but her hands moved fiercely and heavily!
“Crackle!”
There was a sound of glass breaking, and the wall was smashed open, revealing Zhou Wei's surprised expression.
Xia Youyou rushed to him and kicked him in the stomach. Although the kick was not strong, it made Zhou Wei bend over in pain.
Without even looking at the middle-aged man who was holding his stomach, she walked to the door and opened it easily.
Qi Siling was still fighting with someone, outnumbering ten, and had more or less wounds on his body. Seeing her come out, he fiercely hit the person who was fighting with him with an uppercut, shook him off, and ran towards Xia Youyou.
The young man and woman hugged each other again, their bodies trembling, and finally they felt at ease.
"Brother Qi, I'm fine. They beat you up!" Xia Youyou's eyes were red, and she raised her little hand to touch the bruises on his face.
A group of hurried footsteps came from inside, but the two men ignored them and just checked each other's injuries.
An old man led a group of soldiers from the end of the air-raid shelter. He looked serious as he passed by the secret room where Zhou Wei was. Seeing the mess inside, he glared at Zhou Wei fiercely. "You can't even do what I asked you to do!"
He pointed at him with his finger and then walked towards the two people hugging each other.
He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed softly, "Cough."
Xia Youyou wanted to take out the medicine to help him apply it, but was stopped by Qi Siling. The current situation did not allow the two of them to be exposed. Hearing the sound, the two ignored it.
Qi Siling made sure that she was not injured, then he picked her up by the waist and walked straight out.
"Wait." The old man was ignored by the two and felt a little embarrassed.
Xia Youyou leaned on the man's broad shoulders, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, and did not look at the man. She just blew gently on Qi Siling's face with heartache, trying to relieve his pain.
Seeing that the two men ignored him, the old man had no choice but to step forward and walk parallel to them, explaining in a gentle voice.
"I'm sorry, you two. We received a call from your teacher, wanting you to come and participate in the research. Zhou Wei misunderstood me!" He explained as he walked. "That secret room is where we test spies. People who come in to participate in the research usually undergo lie detection tests there. I didn't expect him to behave like this."
Qi Si's eyes were red with anger, and his words were pierced with gritted teeth. "Treat a woman like this? She's only eighteen, how did she get to the point of being tested? Why didn't you take me in with you? I don't look like a spy."
"Yes, it's my fault. I didn't supervise properly."
He walked and talked, saying that he was old and his legs were not as strong as those of young people, but he wanted to keep him, so he could only walk forward with all his strength, trying to keep up with his pace.
Finally reaching the platform of the air-raid shelter, Xia Youyou asked him to put her down.
The two men, one tall and one short, stood on the platform. Xia Youyou looked toward the thorny path they had come from. She wondered if they could walk back on their own with their current strength.
Qi Siling was also thinking about this at the moment. He ignored the old man who followed behind him and lowered his head to look at her. "Shall we go? I'll carry you on my back."
Xia Youyou shook her head, glanced at the jeep parked on the platform, then turned back to look at the soldiers. "Brother Qi, let's go."
As long as she stayed away from these people, she had a way to fly out of this mountain.
The old man caught up from behind and saw the two people were about to leave. He hurried forward to stop them and said, "This place is far from the capital. I'll send a car to take you down."
Xia Youyou shook her head. "No, don't waste our time. Maybe we can still get home before dark."
The old man wanted to say something, but Qi Siling pulled Xia Youyou around him and walked straight out.
The old man was stunned for a while, and when he looked back, the two had already walked a long way away.
He sighed deeply, shook his head, and returned to the air-raid shelter. Zhou Wei peeked in from behind, feeling somewhat apprehensive. He knew he might be in trouble.
