“Gone?”
Cheng Jinche was shocked and looked around carefully, but he really didn't see Gao Menglan.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead, the veins on his forehead throbbed a few times, and cursed inwardly: "What a troublemaker."
No matter how much you curse, you still have to find the person. If Gao Menglan gets lost in the snow or something happens to her, that would be real trouble.
When Zhou Yunwan saw him calling on a few male comrades to go out and find someone, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too."
After all, Gao Menglan was driven away by her, and she would feel bad if something happened.
Hearing this, Cheng Jinche refused without even thinking: "Why are you going? Just stay here and wait."
"I'll just look around and won't run far. And considering Gao Menglan's personality, I don't think she will run far either."
Zhou Yunwan knew her limits and would not run too far to look for someone without caring about the consequences. That would only cause trouble for everyone.
...
...
Seeing the two of them in a stalemate, Zhao Tong also interrupted: "Comrade Zhou and I will go look for him together. The sooner we find him, the sooner we can feel at ease."
Hearing this, Cheng Jinche didn't know what to say anymore. He reminded them a few more times, asking them not to run too far, and then he took the male comrades out.
Zhou Yunwan and Zhao Tong also started looking around, shouting Gao Menglan's name loudly.
The shed was set up on a flat ground in the mountains, surrounded by dense woods and covered with thick layers of snow. Fifty meters away was a small natural lake. At night, the fog was so thick that the vision was blurred and it was difficult to see clearly a few meters away.
So the places they went to were all areas that they were more familiar with in the past two days, and they didn't dare to go any further.
After searching along the shed for a while and still finding nothing, they decided to go back. However, just as they were about to turn around, they heard a slight noise coming from behind them.
"What's that sound?" Zhao Tong shuddered with fear and subconsciously hid in Zhou Yunwan's direction.
Zhou Yunwan was also startled by the sudden noise. She listened carefully and found that the sound came from a bush on the hillside.
That location was some distance away from the shed, and the vision was unclear, so she didn't have the courage to check, but she was afraid that it was the missing Gao Menglan.
Zhou Yunwan and Zhao Tong looked at each other, discussed for a while, and decided to go over and check it out. It was winter now and there were not many wild animals in the mountains. Even if it was not Gao Menglan, it would only be a small animal.
They all took a few steps towards that direction and asked as they walked, "Gao Menglan, is that you?"
After the words fell, there was no response for a long time, until they walked behind the bushes and found that the place was empty.
Zhou Yunwan frowned, not knowing whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Zhao Tong suggested: "Forget it if we can't find it, let's go back first."
Seeing that it was getting darker and darker and it would soon be impossible to see clearly, Zhou Yunwan nodded in agreement. The two planned to go back together, but they didn't expect that just as they were about to turn around, they were scared back a step by the sudden appearance of a black shadow.
"Hey!"
With a sharp and childish cry, Zhao Tong's tense nerves completely collapsed. She staggered two steps, her feet slipped, and she fell towards the slope beside her. She subconsciously reached out to Zhou Yunwan beside her, trying to steady herself.
However, not only did she fail to stand firmly, she also caused Zhou Yunwan to fall down with her.
Zhou Yunwan felt dizzy and the debris of the surrounding trees scratched her face, causing bursts of pain. She instinctively closed her eyes and protected her head with her hands.
I don't know how long it was before she stopped when her waist hit a tree.
Compared to the scratches on her face, the piercing pain in her lower back made her frown immediately and tears welled up in her eyes.
But before she could even cry out in pain, Zhao Tong's crying interrupted her thoughts.
"Comrade Zhou, please save me! Someone is pulling my feet!"
Where would other people come from in such a desolate mountain and wilderness?
Zhou Yunwan took a deep breath, and the cold air penetrated into her nose and mouth, making her feel much more awake.
Zhou Yunwan grabbed the branch of the tree and stood up, looking at Zhao Tong intently, almost stopping her breathing.
It wasn't someone pulling her feet, it was clearly her entire body that was stuck in the swamp!
The ice and snow covered the surface, making people ignore the hidden dangers below. At this moment, the mud had already submerged her knees.
Zhou Yunwan didn't care about too much, there was only one thought in her mind: save people.
She stretched out her hand to Zhao Tong and said, "Grab my hand!"
Zhao Tong was also frightened and her face turned extremely pale. She came to her senses after hearing what was said and reached out to grab her arm, but there was a height difference between them. The more she wanted to grab Zhou Yunwan's hand, the heavier her legs became.
Soon, it was submerged to the middle of the thigh.
Realizing this, Zhao Tong was afraid to move for a moment, and her voice became tearful: "What should I do? I can't catch it."
Zhou Yunwan leaned half of her body out, trying to grab her, but if she went any further she would risk falling. Moreover, she was too weak to do anything, and after falling, she had no energy left to pull Zhao Tong up.
Suddenly, she thought of something and turned her head sharply to look upwards.
Gao Menglan stood there in a daze, as if she had been frightened by the sudden accident.
Zhou Yunwan was so angry that she couldn't help but swear: "What the hell are you standing there for? Why don't you go and call for help? If someone dies, I'll see what you'll do!"
Gao Menglan was frightened by the anger in her eyes and trembled all over. Especially when she heard the word "human life", her legs almost went weak.
She just wanted to scare them and didn't expect this to happen.
Seeing that she still didn't move, Zhou Yunwan wanted to go up and slap her twice to wake her up. She gritted her teeth and said, "Go call someone!"
Gao Menglan was awakened by her shrill roar and stammered, "I, I, I'll go right away."
After saying that, she ran towards the shed unsteadily. Perhaps she was too panicked and fell twice on the way. But even so, she did not dare to be negligent and crawled to call for help.
As soon as the others left, Zhou Yunwan hurried to check on Zhao Tong below: "It's okay, someone will come to rescue us soon."
The weather was so cold that Zhao Tong's legs were almost numb from being frozen in the swamp, and her nerves were a little weakened.
She gritted her teeth and cursed: "I should have known not to come to Gao Menglan. We came to her with good intentions, but she actually did such a thing..."
As she cursed, she couldn't help but say, "Wow, will I die?"
Zhou Yunwan didn't expect this to happen, but it was too late to say anything now.
"You won't die, don't worry." Zhou Yunwan comforted.
The sky turned completely dark in just a moment, and the surroundings immediately became pitch black.
Fear is spreading silently.
