Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go-Chapter 583: Never Give Up
"What is that sound?" Zhang Shishi was startled.
No matter what the sound was, Mu Shaochen grabbed her and started running outside.
When Zhang Shishi looked back, her face changed completely: "Shao Chen, run quickly..."
While running, Mu Shaochen glanced back, "It’s a mudslide... Hurry! Run together!"
From the mountaintop, rocks mixed with soil were pouring down in large patches. Although it was hard to see in the rain and fog, the crashing sound of the rocks was immense.
Zhang Shishi, having grown up in the countryside, had never seen such a situation. She was stunned!
She wanted to run, but her legs wouldn’t obey.
Mu Shaochen pulled her, but she ended up falling to the ground, scraping her knee and unable to get up.
"Shi Shi..." He reached out to pull her, "Hurry! It will be too late soon."
"I can’t run, Shao Chen, you go!" Zhang Shishi pushed him away.
She could hear the deafening sound, as if it was right next to her ears.
How could Mu Shaochen leave her behind? He reached over, picked her up, and started running with large strides.
Luckily, he had always kept up his fitness routine. Even in this harsh weather of rain mixed with snow, he could still run while carrying someone.
"Shao Chen..." Zhang Shishi cried, "You don’t have to worry about me, otherwise neither of us might make it out."
"Trust me, I won’t let anything happen to you," Mu Shaochen responded while running.
A powerful force came crashing towards them, like an overwhelming tide. Ahead of them lay a cliff.
What to do?
Jumping down might offer a chance of survival.
If they didn’t jump, the mudslide would soon engulf them completely.
"Shi Shi, hold onto me tight!" Mu Shaochen grabbed onto a thick vine and swung forward...
...
"Sixth Brother, it’s a mudslide," Mu Anhan alerted, "Hurry, let’s find Third Brother!"
The siblings, while chasing ducks, had wandered far from the house.
In the distance, they could see the mudslide cascading down the mountain like an unstoppable force, and she began to shout loudly: "Everyone run! The mudslide is coming!"
There were still villagers living in the nearby village, mostly the elderly and children left behind while young adults went to the big cities to earn money.
The people at home heard the shouts and ran out.
Some couldn’t run, and Mu Shaojie, with his long legs, ran over, pulling and dragging them along.
After everyone reached the open ground, they looked back to see that the place they just lived was completely submerged.
"Third Brother... Third Brother... Shi Shi... Shi Shi..." Mu Anhan cupped her hands around her mouth, calling for a long time, but got no response.
"Third Brother’s place can’t be seen anymore," Mu Shaojie stomped his foot, "Could they be cuddling by the fire, unaware of anything?"
Mu Anhan’s tears flowed instantly, "If it wasn’t for my suggestion to come and help with the disaster, this wouldn’t have happened."
"That’s just their fate, how can it be your fault?" Mu Shaojie pulled her into his arms, removed his coat, and wrapped her from head to toe, "It’s very cold now. How are you holding up? Can you manage?"
Mu Anhan tried to return the coat to him: "Sixth Brother, you wear it, I’m fine..."
"Sixth Brother is a man, men can withstand the cold, but you’re different," Mu Shaojie held her tightly, "Let’s go to another villager’s house to warm up by the fire."
"No, we still need to find Third Brother and Shi Shi..." Mu Anhan was indeed very cold but didn’t want to abandon her closest people.
