Chapter 405: 401 Pursue someone like me, stand out from the crowd! (3000 words)
Song Lili furrowed her brow. She wanted to glance at the rearview mirror but was horrified to discover a motorcycle had appeared on her left, with a helmeted member of the rebel army pointing a pistol at her.
Though it was too late to react, Song Lili unlocked the car door, kicked it open with one foot, and using the door’s force, she knocked over the motorcyclist chasing her. The pursuer, along with his motorcycle, was thrown into the air.
The fall—if not fatal—was crippling.
Simultaneously, the entire body of the SUV shook violently from the impact.
The right door was dented severely. She turned her body, pulled the door shut forcefully!
The pursuers behind her became even more ferocious, with six motorcyclists from the rebel army catching up from the rear and gunshots sounding more and more intense.
Song Lili had no choice but to constantly change the vehicle’s direction to dodge the lethal attacks.
She floored the accelerator, thankful that in these few minutes, they had entered a lane with gradually increasing traffic.
They were driving against traffic on the emergency lane. As motorcycles followed them on the emergency lane, Song Lili made another sharp turn, maneuvering the SUV into the regular driving lane, scraping past three cars and crossing four lanes of the highway.
Although Zhongli Wuzhi kept his body low, he knew both what Song Lili had done and what she was doing now!
"You’re insane! Are you trying to... Ah—!"
Zhongli Wuzhi’s voice of protest was cut off by a sharp scream!
He widened his eyes, watching as Song Lili drove the SUV through the guardrails on both sides of the highway, flying directly into a wasteland!
"Air... Bang!—crash! Squeak... uh—!"
After the car landed, Song Lili, without pausing, continued to drive away towards the far end of the wasteland.
In front of the broken highway guardrails, motorcyclists came to a stop one after another. Some seemed intent on pursuing, but one person wearing a black helmet stopped them,
"Stop here. No need to chase."
"Leader?" A comrade asked, puzzled.
The man took off his black helmet, revealing naturally curly silver hair. The wind blew his curls about, and his aqua blue eyes watched the SUV disappearing into the distance of the wasteland.
He wore a black mask that covered his nose and mouth, marked with the emblem of the rebel army—a red crisscross of swords.
"Qing Luo, the woman driving the car is no ordinary person."
Someone next to Qing Luo spoke up.
Qing Luo put his helmet back on, started his motorcycle, and drove forward, squinting from beneath his helmet...
Tang Xiaohua, why was she in M-country?
Could it be... G-country was already covertly aiding the government army?
...
Song Lili drove until she was sure several times over that no rebel forces were pursuing them. By this time, they had reached the base of a small mountain.
She stopped the car and turned to look back at Lu Xiaoer, who was strapped in with a seatbelt, her face showing a twisted expression of pain,
"Xiaoer? How are you?"
Lu Xiaoer raised her hand and waved it, "No, it’s okay... just sore all over..."
She could only be grateful that Song Lili and Zhongli Wuzhi had fastened her seatbelt both carefully and tightly.
"And you?"
Song Lili then looked towards Zhongli Wuzhi.
Zhongli Wuzhi, holding his forehead with furrowed brows, moved his hand to reveal a distinct purple bruise the size of half a fist on his forehead,
"You really are crazy!"
He yelled at Song Lili!
Even now, recalling the event, his heart was still unsettled!
"It’s good that everyone is okay. Let’s get out of the car. I’ll check on the car."
"I call this ’okay’?"
Zhongli Wuzhi pointed to the swollen bump on his forehead, looking bewilderedly at Song Lili.
Song Lili got out of the vehicle, leaned on the car door, and looked at him gravely,
"Otherwise, tell me, Young Master Zhongli, what should I do?"
"You..."
Zhongli Wuzhi wanted to harshly scold her, but found he couldn’t bring himself to say the words; instead, he just muttered frustratedly, "You’re too reckless."
Ignoring him, Song Lili went around the SUV to help Lu Xiaoer out and seated her underneath a tree,
"Xiaoer, rest here. Zhongli, hang up the IV for Xiaoer." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
After speaking, she herself lifted the front hood of the SUV, propped it up, and gazed at the smoking engine, her eyebrows tightly knitted,
"We can’t drive it again for a while."
Coming to a conclusion, Song Lili then carefully inspected the bullet holes around the car body and the rear window, which was cracked but not completely shattered.
This car was much tougher than expected.
She took her mobile phone, grabbed some water and food, and sat down next to Lu Xiaoer. She had no desire to eat, just leaned back against the tree alongside Lu Xiaoer...
Her hands hugged her stomach as she muttered something under her breath.
Zhongli Wuzhi was suspicious, and even when he leaned closer, he still couldn’t hear clearly, only to receive a roll of eyes from Song Lili.
"All right, all right, I shouldn’t have questioned you. Can we just let it go?"
After Zhongli Wuzhi finished setting up the IV, he sat cross-legged opposite them, staring seriously at Song Lili,
"But I still want to know, how did you have the courage to drive against the traffic, cross the highway, and burst through the guardrail?"
"If it weren’t for the rebel army ahead, slowing down all the vehicles, if it weren’t for the barriers in this area being made of wood instead of iron, if it weren’t for the low gradient of the highlands and wastelands... we really would have died! Song Lili, perhaps even if you had stopped the car, they wouldn’t have done anything to us, but your impulsive act..."
"Zhongli, let me tell you who those people are."
Song Lili stared at him intently,
"Their leader, under the guise of creating a new country M, wants to change the current state of political corruption, military backwardness, and social instability in country M."
"They say the government oppresses the people, continuously increasing taxes; they say the citizens work diligently, yet it seems they are merely slaves to the royal family of country M."
"But, you also saw that they are the ones who instigate the war, they are the ones who indiscriminately kill the innocent, riding their heavy military motorcycles, chasing after us while showing their smug smiles."
"They shoot at us without distinguishing between right and wrong, I cannot imagine what would have happened if I had stopped the car out of cowardice."
"But I am certain, a rebellious group intent on causing chaos, if they knew they had in their hands a young master from a wealthy and influential family in country G, the daughter of the director of the Central Population Intelligence Bureau of country G, these are not relationships that can be balanced by just three simple lives."
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi lowered his head, looking at the ground.
Lu Xiaoer was slightly opening her eyes...
"I know the Zhongli family has always only been involved in business, but business and politics have always been inseparable. At the very least, I hope Young Master Zhongli can be aware of this basic political sensitivity."
Song Lili stood up and walked aside,
"Where are you going?"
Zhongli quickly asked.
"There’s no signal here, I’m just stepping out to find some signal,"
Song Lili said indifferently.
"Don’t go far!"
Zhongli Wuzhi loudly instructed, then said no more.
He glanced at Lu Xiaoer, only to see her clear and sharp eyes gazing at him... making him inwardly flinch.
Unconsciously looking away,
"It feels like compared to Song Lili, even I, a grown man, don’t seem much like a man..."
"Zhongli, the three of us are still in this war-torn country, from yesterday till today, you can feel the terror of war, the sins of humanity... If at this time, the three of us can’t trust each other, at a critical juncture of life and death, still questioning each other... actually, it’s very disheartening..."
Lu Xiaoer muttered.
Zhongli Wuzhi’s hand clenched a bottle of mineral water, almost deforming the bottle.
"Come."
Lu Xiaoer patted the spot next to her.
Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep breath and sat down beside her.
Lu Xiaoer gently leaned her head on his shoulder, reaching out to hold his large hand. His hand was dirty, and from the back of the hand to the wrist, there were several bloodstains, it was unclear when they had occurred.
His palm was also very rough...
She clasped his palm, "You, Lili, and I, we will definitely... safely return home together."
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s heart shrank again, this time not from embarrassment...
He clasped back her warm little hand.
"But... if... if..."
Lu Xiaoer’s voice was very light as she hypothesized,
"If we really can’t go back, would you regret coming to country M with Lili to save me?"
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t speak, and Lu Xiaoer did not become downhearted by his silence.
She gently laughed,
"Think about it, you, Young Master Zhongli, followed me to Dongheng for a month as a volunteer for earthquake relief, and now you’re adventuring in this war-torn country M... haha, it’s really hard on you."
"You can still laugh?"
Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at her.
"Just thinking it’s quite funny, why is the elegant and dashing Zhongli Wuzhi, always in such a disheveled state beside me..."
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi took a deep thought, then also laughed a bit, and then said,
"Who made me, Zhongli Wuzhi, destined to be extraordinary? Even in pursuing a woman, it has to be extraordinary!"
"..."
"Sending flowers, sending jewelry, dining out, watching movies, amusement parks, aquariums, those are all too common! To truly chase a woman, one should be like me, ready to face any danger!"
Zhongli Wuzhi declared resolutely.
He knew Lu Xiaoer was trying to comfort him, but he was absolutely opportunistic, even amidst dangerous circumstances, never forgetting the main task!
"Ready to face any danger?"
"Of course!"
After Zhongli Wuzhi responded, his narrow fox-like eyes squinted, he turned his head towards Lu Xiaoer and puckered his lips,
"Little Ear, considering that I have thrown all caution to the wind for your sake, shouldn’t you give me a little..."
Lu Xiaoer looked at the big bump still swollen on his forehead, his entire face coming close, it was truly comical!
Zhongli Wuzhi’s lips touched her warm skin, just... salty!
