It seems that Beihuang Base is now joining the military's camp. I heard that the second-in-command at Nanxiao Base is Mu Yanxuan's woman. Donglin is also facing a crisis of being attacked from the inside by Qin Lichang and D country. If Mu Yanxuan has a way to eliminate the external threat... then C country should basically be in his pocket.
Fortunately, he himself was not interested in these things to begin with... It didn't matter to him whose country it was.
Huang Yuan shook his head and then walked down another path. The path was dark, but he could still vaguely see the road ahead.
Even on the darkest road, light will eventually seep in.
...
Ji Yueyao was awakened by the heat.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was enveloped by a wave of heat. The scorching sensation almost instantly woke her up, and then she stared blankly at the side.
This...is lava...?!
To her left was a river of scorching, bubbling lava, more than twenty meters wide, stretching out almost endlessly.
What's going on here?!
Ji Yueyao blinked. All she remembered was being violently dragged into the ground and losing consciousness from the pain of the impact... And when she woke up, she found herself in a vast expanse of molten lava?!
Is the bottom of the Forbidden Forest filled with molten lava?!
She could accept the idea that there was a large forest at the bottom of the Forbidden Forest, but the idea that there was a vast expanse of lava at the bottom of the Forbidden Forest... she really couldn't accept it. Would going any further in mean she was facing the ocean?
Ouch...that hurts!
Ji Yueyao tried to get up, but almost the instant she stood up, she was overwhelmed by intense pain all over her body... How many fractures did she have?
With no feeling in one arm at all, Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth and used her other arm to prop herself up, struggling to lift her head and look around. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhu Mu should have fallen here with her... Where is Zhu Mu?
"Bamboo and wood?" Ji Yueyao tried to speak, but the sound disappeared almost immediately.
There was no response.
Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth and stood up, looking around, but still found nothing. This shouldn't be the case. Zhu Mu should have been pulled down with her... Could he have fallen into the lava?
Ji Yueyao's face turned pale as she thought of this. She tried to walk a little further away, but her peripheral vision suddenly caught something. Wait, what is that!
Her gaze suddenly sharpened as Ji Yueyao spotted a sleeve. She stumbled and fell into a depression next to the lava. Sure enough, Zhu Mu was lying there, but because he was too close to the lava, half of his body was scalded and uneven, making him look almost horrifying at first glance.
Despite the intense pain in her chest and arms, Ji Yueyao struggled to pull Zhu Mu out of the pit. As she gasped for breath, she hurriedly checked Zhu Mu's breathing... Thankfully, he was still alive.
Slightly relieved, Ji Yueyao leaned against the scorching rock wall behind her, unable to sit still any longer. The pain suddenly surged through her senses, and the chilling pain almost made her lose consciousness again.
She looked so pathetic...
Ji Yueyao sat there, but surprisingly felt nothing. There was no fear, no regret, only peace.
She has been here for over a year and has experienced many unbelievable things... She wonders how her parents are doing and misses them so much.
It seems a bit of a shame that I can't take the college entrance exam... But life in this world is more dangerous, but it's also full of challenges.
That's still far from enough. Now that she's come to this world, she can't just die like this. She has to work even harder to live on.
Thinking of this, Ji Yueyao turned her head slightly, looked at the bare back of the bamboo and wood, sighed, and turned back.
They have no food left, they don't even know where they are, and the road ahead is unknown.
Going back is impossible, and moving forward... we don't even know where we've ended up.
But even so, we still have to move forward. Staying here means there's only one path... Ji Yueyao sighed, turned around, and pushed the bamboo with her movable hand, but there was no response.
"Zhu Mu?" she called out, but Zhu Mu still didn't respond. He looked seriously injured; although he was still breathing, he was completely unconscious.
Ji Yueyao glanced helplessly at the unknown ahead, struggled to stand up, then bent down and hooked Zhu Mu's hand around her neck.
Then, carrying the bamboo and wood on her back, she walked forward. The piercing pain assaulted her entire body, and Ji Yueyao's vision went black. She almost fainted.
"I'm a superhuman; my injuries heal themselves instantly." She murmured these words with her eyes lowered, ignoring the pain as she repeated them over and over.
Without sufficient food and water, the recovery rate of a superhuman is extremely slow... but Ji Yueyao refused to accept this at this moment.
The lava beside her was bubbling and gurgling, and the ground beneath her feet was getting hotter and hotter, the scorching heat penetrating her shoes and burning her feet directly.
I really don't understand why those strange plants would throw them into this place... Are they trying to let them die from the heat?
Excessive sweating caused Ji Yueyao to become extremely thirsty. She swallowed twice and sped up her pace without regard for the pain. The pain in her body lessened considerably, but she still couldn't move one of her arms.
I don't feel any pain in my arm... or rather, I don't feel anything at all. It seems this isn't a simple fracture...
The road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and Ji Yueyao couldn't imagine what she would do if she reached the end of all the paths she could take and was still stuck in this lava field.
All she can do now is move forward, even if there may be no way out at the end.
Zhu Mu vaguely regained some consciousness. He tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was a head of slightly messy hair.
The faint light emanating from the surroundings caught his attention. He tried to move but suddenly felt a sharp pain throughout his body.
"...Captain?" Takeki froze, his consciousness gradually returning. He looked around, utterly bewildered. "Am I... inside a volcano?"
"You're overthinking it." Ji Yueyao was much happier when she saw Zhu Mu was awake. She tried to turn around, but she didn't even have the strength to do so. "This place is still at the bottom of the Forbidden Forest." (To be continued.)
