The starry sky was colorful, and the moon resembled a silver plate. Even though it was already sumr in the southern regions of Huaxia Country, here in the mountains of the Shennongjia Nature Reserve in Southern Province, it still felt like deep autumn, with a hint of cool breeze.
Inside the cave, the students from Jiangning University huddled together, their bodies trembling slightly. In their rush to escape, they had abandoned their heavy quilts, and since the cave was sowhat damp, they dared not light a fire for fear of attracting the criminals. This damp cold pushed them closer together, seeking warmth from one another. Only Lanya sat alone in a corner, making her seem out of place compared to Zhan Fei and the others who were practically glued to each other.
Inside the cave, the presence of mosquitoes was an intolerable nuisance. Their bites caused the students to slap at the bitten areas in annoyance. However, they were too exhausted, so they could only swat at them in their half-asleep state without fully waking.
Poor Lanya's body was shivering from the cold, and she had to fend off mosquitoes as the night deepened. She wanted to hold the little wolf, but the proud creature refused to be cuddled by a woman. It slept not far from Lanya, its robust form unfazed by the slightest chill.
At so point, Lanya suddenly felt neither cold nor the mosquito bites anymore. In a hazy dream state, sensing sothing amiss, she subconsciously opened her beautiful eyes slightly and saw Luo Chao sitting beside her. His eyes were open, and the moonlight from outside softly outlined his features; his resolute face looked as if it were carved by a knife, stern yet handso.
Luo Chao occasionally flicked his fingers, and his actions resembled the Finger Snap Divine Skill. Mosquitoes were sent flying like bullets, crashing into the cave walls and eting their ends. The scene was eerily bizarre.
He stayed up half the night, keeping mosquitoes away from her? Although Lanya found Luo Chao's mosquito-killing thod a bit over the top, she was more touched by the fact he was protecting her, keeping her warm and free from mosquito bites.
At that mont, Lanya's fragrant shoulders trembled slightly. This person whom she always found annoying was treating her so kindly, making her heart pound even faster. She would never forget this mont; Luo Chao seed like a guardian angel, offering her the warst, safest haven.
All won wish for their partner to make them feel secure. Clearly, Luo Chao not only provided Lanya with that haven but also deeply moved her.
Unconsciously, Lanya felt a sweet sensation in her heart, as if she swallowed honey. However, Luo Chao was indeed the righteous fool here. He stayed awake, vigilantly guarding against a possible night raid by the vicious criminals. Seeing Lanya alone and pitiful, he sat beside her to give her so warmth.
As for killing mosquitoes, that was hardly necessary; he did it just to pass the ti!
As a forr Soldier King of the Wolf Fang unit, Luo Chao had experienced many missions where he went several days without sleep. Thus, one sleepless night was nothing. It's just that Lanya completely misunderstood; her mind, unlike her sister-in-law, wasn't as filled with such thoughts.
When the first rays of sunlight dashed across the entire Nature Reserve the next morning, heavy footsteps echoed from outside the cave entrance—soone was climbing up the mountain!
Lanya awoke with a start, and Zhan Fei and the others opened their eyes in quick succession, their hearts racing fast. It seed they were here, coming up the mountain to find them.
At this mont, Lanya realized that Luo Chao had disappeared. In a daze, she rembered vaguely falling asleep clutching his strong waist the previous night. Even in the damp, dark cave, she slept better than she would have on her mory foam bed at ho.
Thinking of this, a blush crept up Lanya's pretty face in embarrassnt.
Zhan Fei, Ye Bing, and Ruan Qing discovered their backbone was missing, panicking with anxiety. Luo Chao wouldn't have abandoned them to flee for his life, would he? They cautiously approached the cave entrance, peering into the dense forest below. But a hundred ters away, fierce, malevolent faces slowly ca into view, frightening them, causing their legs to shake. They quickly scrambled to the side.
"What do we do, what do we do!" Ye Bing stamred, his voice trembling.
Zhan Fei gritted his teeth and said, "What can we do? If we go out now, they'll surely find us. We can only hope they can't find this place."
Such a large cave, not very hidden, even a blind man might stumble upon it. Clearly, Zhan Fei was deceiving himself, but they had no other choice, rely hoping these villains were even blinder than blind n.
Ruan Qing, wiping away tears, said, "Luo Chao is such a bastard, leaving us behind to run away."
Luo Chao was indeed capable. If he left quietly, they probably couldn't catch him. However, taking four burdens along would be another story. That's what Zhan Fei and the others thought.
Lanya frowned and said, "Luo Chao isn't that kind of person!"
"You're the only one who believes him," Ruan Qing said disdainfully. "Otherwise, where would he have gone so early? Is he planning to fight those drug dealers alone?"
Zhan Fei waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. What's the use of saying this now?" He understood in his heart that if he had Luo Chao's skills, he would choose to save himself too.
Ruan Qing, hearing these words, grew increasingly afraid, squatting down and beginning to cry softly.
More than forty drug traffickers were advancing up the mountain, getting closer to the cave. When they were only fifty ters away, the bespectacled Fourth Brother was walking in the middle. A black-faced burly man next to him pointed to a cave in the distance and said, "Fourth Brother, there's a cave ahead. Maybe those people are hiding inside!"
Amidst the dense undergrowth, it seed that only this cave could serve as shelter and a resting spot. The drug dealers had arrived early to search the mountain. Beyond this cave lay a cliff. They couldn't believe Luo Chao and company would be up on the cliff, braving the cold wind.
Fourth-eyed man grinned wickedly and nodded: "They can't escape. Let's hurry up and see if they're in the cave!"
The black-faced man laughed and said, "Fourth Brother, you can enjoy the girl first and then let the brothers have so fun."
"Hope she's a beauty," the bespectacled man chuckled lasciviously. Leading his nurous brothers, they advanced quickly. When they moved another twenty ters forward, Zhan Fei and the others felt their approach toward the cave. Their faces turned pale, drained of blood. It was over. This ti it was truly over!
