Chapter 406: 402 Truly perilous situations abound, leaving no room to breathe!
Zhongli Wuzhi’s lips touched the warm skin, but... it was salty!
He kissed again, this time noticing a fishy taste. Although it was a bit odd, the texture of this "little mouth" was somewhat stiff. Nevertheless, seizing such a rare opportunity, he was definitely not going to let go easily!
Just when Zhongli Wuzhi wanted to go deeper, he finally heard suppressed laughter. Opening his eyes, he found his lips firmly pressed against the palm of a hand.
Turns out, the hand wasn’t Lu Xiaoer’s at all, but belonged to Song Lili, who had returned unnoticed!
"..."
Song Lili withdrew her hand, rubbing it several times on the grass on the ground.
"Zhongli, if you could divert some of your flirting efforts elsewhere, your reputation outside would surely be much better."
Song Lili said with a laugh as she patted her hands together.
She sat down on the spot, unconcerned about Zhongli Wuzhi’s embarrassed irritation.
Even the roots of a grown man’s ears turned red.
"I took a walk around, and there’s no signal here at all."
Song Lili shrugged her shoulders, reporting the bad news to her companions.
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi looked up at her.
"So what do we do now? Are we just going to wait here?"
Lu Xiaoer asked.
Song Lili pursed her lips.
"We can’t get in touch with Wen Nian... The trouble might be greater than we anticipated. It’s not about whether they can safely leave M country, but given Wen Nian’s current temperament..."
"For Little Ear and myself, probably not, but for you, he might very well resort to military actions."
Zhongli Wuzhi was one hundred percent certain of this.
"Besides, you are not alone right now."
He and Lu Xiaoer almost simultaneously glanced at Song Lili’s abdomen.
Song Lili plucked grass from the ground, twirling it between her fingers.
"Just what are you carrying there? Unbelievably strong!"
Zhongli Wuzhi muttered under his breath. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoer smacked him, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean, ’carrying’!"
"Little Ear, you seem much more spirited now..."
The three of them sat under a tree; the leaves shielded them from the midday sun.
They lazily rested against each other...
Song Lili was wearier than the others. Initially leaning against the tree, she eventually lay down and fell asleep.
Zhongli Wuzhi pulled out her military uniform to cover her and then drew Lu Xiaoer into his embrace.
All three were exhausted, especially Song Lili, who had not anticipated becoming fatigued so quickly; the physical condition when pregnant really was different.
Waking up from their sleep, they didn’t just sit idly; they continued driving their off-road vehicle. It was perilous because there was no signal anywhere, the car’s navigation was useless, there was no internet connectivity, and communication was impossible.
They had intended to leave the hill but seemed to have ventured deeper into the mountains. After wandering around, they finally found a somewhat inhabited small town at the foot of the mountain, where there was signal and communication.
On the way, Zhongli Wuzhi was the one driving the car, so upon entering the small town, Song Lili immediately looked for a signal.
Indeed, the mobile signal icon lit up, although it was incredibly weak, which surprised Song Lili...
Even if it was a small town at the foot of the hills, in this day and age, how could a place still be so undeveloped?
Without much thought, relying on the weak signal, multiple calls from Wen Nian came through.
Song Lili hardly had the chance to check closely, as Wen Nian’s video call request had also arrived. This must have been one of many video calls she hastily accepted the video chat,
"Ah Nian, we’re safe."
That was the first thing she said upon connecting.
Due to signal and network issues, the video was terribly laggy, and it was unclear whether her words were conveyed.
After a long while, she faintly felt Wen Nian replying, but his broken speech and lost syllables left her confused. After thinking for a bit, she said,
"We encountered the rebel army on our way to Chuhai Port, but we managed to shake them off. We escaped into the mountains and didn’t have any signal, so we couldn’t contact you."
"Now we’re in a small town, and the signal and network here are also poor, but we’ve managed to connect. Can you hear me?"
Song Lili asked.
The video was choppy, but Song Lili could make out Wen Nian’s anxious expression, his brow furrowed.
"Don’t worry too much; I can take care of myself. The problem is that our evacuation plan... has been disrupted."
"Why don’t you text me instead? I can’t hear what you’re saying. I’ll know once I see the message."
Song Lili suggested.
The video was so laggy that before she could say much more, the call was cut off.
"We should still go into the town and see. Maybe the internet in someone’s home will be better."
Song Lili said as she was about to get out of the car. At that moment, a signal came through on the phone, and a new message from Wen Nian came through:
Leave there! The town has been occupied by the rebel army! Hurry!
Song Lili knew Wen Nian had been constantly using satellite positioning and had always had eyes on their location, which was why she felt reassured.
Reading the message, her heart skipped a beat, and without hesitating, she immediately said to Zhongli Wuzhi,
"Turn around! Leave here! Fast!"
Zhongli Wuzhi had been driving nearly three hours non-stop. In the absence of navigation and maps, just relying on intuition was already quite frustrating.
Now that they had finally found a small town where they could rest momentarily, Song Lili was...
He wanted to ask a question, but remembering previous lessons, he took a deep breath, immediately reversed, and turned around.
Then just as they were about to act, a hand grenade thrown from who-knows-where exploded right behind their car!
Soil rooted with tree roots blasted into the air in a cloud of smoke!
The blast’s shock wave shattered the already cracked rear window glass!
Lu Xiaoer leaned tightly against the car door, her body hunched over, while Song Lili used the opportunity to survey the surrounding area!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out, shattering the glass of the left rearview mirror!
"Zigzag! They’re aiming for our tires; if the tires blow, we’re done for!"
Song Lili shouted urgently at Zhongli Wuzhi!
Zhongli Wuzhi might not have much else, but his driving was first-rate. Instantly, he maneuvered the car agilely through the woods, the sharp movements making it difficult for the snipers in the trees to track them.
This maneuver drove them several hundred meters away!
Zhongli Wuzhi cursed as he drove,
"What bad luck is this? Wherever we go, we meet the rebel army! Wherever we go, it’s just a barrage of gunfire!"
"These sons of guns..."
"Drive into the mountains! Into the mountains!"
Song Lili saw two off-road motorcycles emerging from the smoke!
Damn! Where the hell did they get these tools from?
