A faint sound came from the cave, like footsteps, getting closer and closer: "Someone is coming."

Nan Zhi said in a low voice, with a gleam of determination in her eyes.

Fu Siqing quickened his pace, but at the same time he was looking for a possible hiding place: "There is only one road here, but I have looked around here, there is a small hole over there, let's hide in it first."

He pointed to a narrow cave entrance not far away.

The two of them quickly hid in the cave and carefully dragged Nan Zheqian in. Nan Zhi stood guard at the front. In the dark cave entrance, there was only an inconspicuous sniper rifle.

She watched and held her breath, waiting for others to arrive.

The footsteps got closer and closer, then suddenly stopped.

[If there is any situation, Aqing, you take big brother and leave first! ]

Fu Siqing looked in the direction of Nan Zhi with some surprise, but the cave was very dark, hiding his expression.

[I know you will definitely be worried about me, so please take Big Brother out first. You have to crawl out through the entrance outside. I can't carry Big Brother on my back.]

After a while, the footsteps began to move again, but this time they were moving away from them.

Only when the sound completely disappeared did the three of them dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Nan Zheqian felt a little strange. His hand fell on Fu Siqing's shirt and he found that he was sweating a lot.

He was carried out of the cave and looked at Nan Zhi meaningfully. He knew in his heart that he was really scared just now, perhaps he was afraid of leaving Nan Zhi behind.

He remained silent and kept looking at Nan Zhi, which made Nan Zhi feel a little guilty.

But this time, he didn't speak.

"Let's go."

Nan Zhi opened her mouth and looked at the person walking away, but finally chose to follow him in silence.

This place has been discovered, they can't stay here anymore.

The three of them waited at the cave entrance for a while. Fu Siqing went up first to make sure that there was no one there before coming down and carrying Nan Zheqian up.

Nan Zhi looked at the wet soil and said, "Fortunately the rain has stopped. Let's go back to where we were before. There is a helicopter there. It will be more obvious if Third Brother and the others are looking for them."

Fu Siqing didn't say anything, but just quietly carried Nan Zheqian on his back and walked towards the direction they came from.

Nan Zhi raised her hand, but ultimately did not call him and followed him.

Nan Zheqian glanced at her without saying anything. He understood what Fu Siqing was angry about because he was angry too.

They have not yet reached the point where they would let their sister risk her life to hold others back in exchange for a glimmer of hope.

He was somewhat silent because he couldn't say it because he knew, he knew when Nan Zhi started to rely on herself and no longer depend on anyone else.

If he didn’t have his previous memories, he might just think that Nan Zhi was reborn with a goal, so he would work hard.

But now that he had his memories, everything was laid out before him so starkly that he was speechless.

Now, she has to rely on herself. She is no longer weak, afraid and timid like before. Life has forced her to become strong, but also made her unable to trust anyone anymore.

She no longer trusted even her family, including Huo Ling, and stubbornly believed that the only solution was to push him away.

It's not that she doesn't know there are other ways, it's just that she can no longer trust anything or anyone.

Fu Siqing was very silent, he also thought of this, so no matter how many times he said it, she was unwilling to trust her.

It is easy to get lost in the dense forest late at night, but fortunately they saw the stream they came from.

"Snapped!"

Nan Zhi's pupils shrank, and she pulled Fu Siqing over, only to see Fu Siqing directly hand Nan Zheqian to Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi supported Nan Zheqian. Under her incredulous eyes, she saw Fu Siqing rushing towards the group of people resolutely.

Nan Zhi dragged Nan Zheqian under the tree and pulled out a gun in front of him. The next moment, a man fell from the tree in front of Nan Zhi.

She was startled and slashed his neck with the saber in her hand, and blood splattered on her face.

She wiped it randomly and pulled the person down.

Nan Zhi's heartbeat almost jumped out of her chest at this moment. She quickly adjusted her breathing to ensure that Nan Zheqian was temporarily safe.

"Brother, here's the gun for you, be careful!"

Nan Zheqian nodded and loaded the gun: "Don't worry, even if your legs are broken, your hands can still move."

Nan Zhi smiled and nodded. Then, she climbed up the tree and quietly moved to a favorable position, sniper rifle in hand, ready to support Fu Siqing at any time.

In the darkness of night, Fu Siqing's figure shuttled among the shadows of the trees. His movements were agile and decisive, and every move he made was accurate and deadly.

Nan Zhi stared at the forest, her finger lightly on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.

Suddenly, a beam of flashlight cut through the night sky and pointed directly at Fu Siqing's position.

Nan Zhi's heart tightened. She knew that the enemy had discovered Fu Siqing. Without any hesitation, she quickly adjusted her aim and fired a shot. The flashlight beam went out instantly.

Fu Siqing took advantage of this opportunity and quickly moved to another location, avoiding the enemy's sight.

Nan Zhi continued to observe the battlefield. Her heartbeat was synchronized with the sound of gunfire, and every breath was filled with tension.

【Aqing...! 】

In the darkness, the figure was not conspicuous, but she could vaguely see that there was something wrong with Fu Siqing's movements and he was injured.

The gunfire continued for a while, and Fu Siqing and Nan Zhi's cooperation became more and more tacit. They took advantage of their small number to move in the dark, and finally, when the last mercenary fell, the surroundings fell into silence again.

Nan Zhi looked through the sniper scope and saw Fu Siqing standing in the dark jungle and turning his head to look at her.

His lonely look made Nan Zhi's heart skip a beat, but she fell to the ground the next moment.

Nan Zhi's eyes widened, and he jumped down from the tree in a few seconds, then ran towards Fu Siqing with a sniper rifle in hand.

“Ah Qing!!”

She helped Fu Siqing up and looked at her fearfully, but felt something wet on his waist.

"You were shot...?"

Fu Siqing didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly under the moonlight.

"I think I understand, because you and I have no one to rely on, so you can only trust yourself.

Zhizhi, we are the same, why are you unwilling...to believe me...?"

Nan Zhi was stunned, looking at Fu Siqing in silence. It was the first time she saw those golden eyes turn gray.

She slowly closed her eyes, and something in her heart seemed to be touched.

She didn't know since when she could only trust herself...

"Stop talking, I'll treat your wound."

“Only…”

“Stop talking!!”

Nan Zhi roared angrily. She placed her hand on his abdomen and could feel the blood flowing out.

Fu Siqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pulled her over and made her roll on the ground.

"Well!"

Nan Zhi heard the gunshot and anxiously grabbed the gun in her hand. The moment she pushed Fu Siqing away, the bullet fired and directly killed the man covered in blood.
