Chapter 31 Su Lingyu, Don’t Be Afraid
【Xiao Tongzi, what is going on? 】
[Am I going to die? ]
[I am going to die in this car accident before being thrown into the sea by the villain to feed the fish? ]
Su Lingyu's heartbeat quickened, and all the color disappeared from her pretty fair face. Her delicate teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, and her lips, which were usually rosy, now looked a little pale due to her biting.
In a flash, Huo Yan beside her spoke calmly.
"Su Lingyu!"
"What?" Su Lingyu looked over in panic, tears welling up in her eyes without her even noticing. She looked at him with almond-shaped eyes full of surprise.
"Don't be afraid."
Then, Huo Yan rushed towards her quickly, hugged her body tightly, exerted force with his narrow and strong waist, and turned over, and the positions of the two were instantly switched.
His back was facing the oncoming truck, while Su Lingyu was moved to the relatively safer side.
This was not enough. In the last second before the strong impact, he pulled her tightly into his arms, using his broad back as a shield to protect her.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the military jeep was knocked back several meters. The trunk knocked down several large trees and finally hit the high wall on the street.
This car is half-dead!
The only thing to be thankful for was that Zhao Ke reacted quickly and turned the steering wheel in time to adjust the position of the car.
After the collision, the right side of the front of the jeep, including the passenger seat, was dented. The right side of the rear seat was severely damaged, and the trunk was also severely deformed, but the seating area was fine and the three people were not trapped.
"Captain, are you and your wife okay?" Zhao Ke turned around and asked.
"I'm fine."
Huo Yan in the back seat had just raised his sharp eyes when he heard the system's baby voice exclaiming:
[Oh my god, host, wake up! The car's fuel tank has been damaged. If the car explodes, it will be the end! ]
Huo Yan's nostrils flared and he smelled the smell of gasoline in the car.
He said decisively: "The car is leaking oil, take Su Lingyu and leave quickly."
"Yes!" Zhao Ke nodded immediately.
While Zhao Ke was getting off the car, Huo Yan looked down at the woman in his arms, patted her porcelain-like cheek, and shouted in a deep voice: "Su Lingyu, wake up!"
"Su Lingyu!"
Su Lingyu had difficulty breathing and felt as if her soul was about to be shaken out of her body. She felt dizzy and her eyes were all white. She had a severe tinnitus in her ears.
She felt dizzy and nauseous.
She heard Huo Yan's anxious shout, but she opened her mouth in vain and could not say anything.
In a daze, she felt someone hugging her and walked out of the car, and the light in front of her eyes gradually became brighter.
It was not until she breathed in the fresh air outside that she came back to her senses, gasping for breath. Her vision became clear again, and she looked around in panic, and saw the man who was half holding her.
"Huo Yan..."
The next moment, her body went limp, and Huo Yan, who was supporting her, lost control of his body's center of gravity and fell to the ground. She also staggered forward a step.
Su Lingyu felt a piercing pain in his ankle, his face suddenly changed color, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She trembled and looked at Huo Yan: "You, how are you?"
The system's baby voice sounded: [Host, don't worry about Huo Yan, just run! ]
[There are seven thugs on that truck. Huo Yan is the hero, and he can withstand the iron bars and knives in their hands. You, with your small body, definitely can't withstand it. You're done for here! ]
Su Lingyu's face turned even paler.
Huo Yan quickly stood up from the ground, held her thin shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine! You go first, go by yourself, hurry up!"
Zhao Ke also said: "Someone is coming over there, I will go to stop him, you and your wife, hurry up!"
As they were talking, several masked strong men jumped off the truck, no more, no less, exactly the seven the system had mentioned. Each of them was holding an iron bar, with fierce eyes, and they quickly surrounded them.
Zhao Ke shouted angrily and rushed forward with his bare hands.
He was very skilled, but there were seven strong men facing him, and they were holding iron bars and machetes in their hands. It was obvious that he could not hold out for long.
If Huo Yan's leg was okay...
Su Lingyu bit her lip and lowered her eyes to look at the man's injured leg.
As if he noticed her gaze, Huo Yan's body stiffened for a moment, but soon, his serious voice rang out again: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up!"
The system was also urging: [Host, run! Zhao Ke can only hold on for three more minutes at most. If you don’t run quickly, you will fall into the hands of those people and who knows what will happen to you! ]
[They are desperate criminals hired by Zhou Fang's accomplices. They are committing all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, and looting, just to avenge you. They will not show mercy to you!]
But Su Lingyu was disheartened and shook his head.
Huo Yan frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "You want to die with me?"
"No." Su Lingyu's voice was a little tearful, but her arrogant temper remained unchanged. "Why should I die with you? We are not a real couple! I just... sprained my ankle, and I was so scared that my legs were weak and I couldn't walk!"
[Why do we have to die? Can't we all just stay alive? ]
Huo Yan: “…”
For a moment, he was anxious and helpless.
Seeing Su Lingyu's eyes filled with tears, he suddenly took off his short-sleeved shirt and covered her head with it: "Put it on!"
Su Lingyu, wearing a cheongsam, had a very attractive figure and a stunning face. He was afraid that those people would have bad intentions.
"Everything you wear is dirty!" Su Lingyu couldn't stand his cleanliness obsession, but she also knew that this was Huo Yan's protection for her, so she didn't resist.
“…Listen!”
Without further ado, Huo Yan pulled up her arm, roughly put clothes on her, and buttoned them up carefully one by one.
The wide shirt instantly covered Su Lingyu's graceful body, leaving only a pair of straight white calves exposed.
Huo Yan said in a deep voice: "If you can't leave, wait here! If you can leave, run, try to run to where there are people! No matter what happens, don't look back!"
Su Lingyu bit her lip: "...What about you?"
Huo Yan picked up his cane and said with a resolute look, "I'll go help Zhao Ke."
“But you…”
Without waiting for Su Lingyu to finish his words, Huo Yan turned around and left.
He walked not easily but firmly, like a strong and wounded lion who still had a proud character despite his disability.
With Huo Yan joining in, the pressure on Zhao Ke was relieved, and he fought much more bravely. With the combined efforts of the two, they were able to match the opponent evenly.
The system couldn't help but sigh: [It's the hero, the top soldier for five consecutive years. I didn't expect him to be so strong even with a broken leg. His skills are amazing! ]
Su Lingyu immediately asked: [Xiao Tongzi, can Huo Yan beat those people? ]
The system hesitated: [It's very suspenseful. After all, those people are not pushovers. When Huo Yan was at his peak, he could fight ten or even a hundred enemies at once for a long time. Now he can't do that anymore.]
【What should we do? 】
[Hurry up! Wait...it seems someone is coming to rescue you! Just hold on for another three minutes and you will be saved! The person who comes to rescue you has a gun!]
Su Lingyu's face lit up: [Really?]
The system confirmed: [Really! However, whether Huo Yan and Zhao Ke can hold on for three minutes is a question. I am afraid that they can’t hold on, and you will still fall into the hands of those evil people! ]
[If they take you away, who knows what they will do to you? Countless girls have died tragically in their hands. They will not let you go! ]
[Host, you are really in danger, run away quickly! ]
[Oh no, you can't run away, someone has discovered you! ]
Su Lingyu looked up in shock, and a burly man with a hideous scar on his forehead appeared in her sight. He walked towards her with a hideous smile, and his evil eyes made her shudder in an instant.
