Chapter 132 Landslide
"How would I know? I can't be too far away from you." Little Giant Pit continued to leisurely indulge in his foodie ways.
Mu Zhen was speechless. Well, it was obvious that the little giant pit didn't want to help him anymore, so he could only rely on himself.
"Oh no, the mountain is slippery..." When Liu Si realized that there was something wrong with the soil under his feet, his first thought was to run away.
But before the word "slope" could be fully mentioned, the person was already swept off the slope.
Even he, the last person to walk, was not spared, let alone the people in front of him.
Mu Zhen reacted quickly, grabbing the vines she was trying to push aside.
Seeing this, Lü Bu instinctively grabbed a vine.
In that instant, he had completely forgotten that he was carrying someone on his back.
He's just a student. If he encounters danger, it's perfectly normal for him to instinctively choose to save himself, right?
This caused great distress to Huangfu Zique, who was unconscious. As Lü Bu was swung away by the vines, he was also thrown out by the force of the impact.
Mu Zhen was horrified and reached out to grab it.
However, the slope was quite steep, and even though he managed to grab a bit of the man's collar, he was still knocked down by a tree stump.
Depend on!
Is he having a bad year these past few days? Why is everything going wrong for him?
Liu Si wasn't much better off; the only saving grace was that he was still conscious.
Even when being pushed down by a mudslide, they still know how to save themselves.
It glided for a short while before grabbing a tree trunk.
The only one suffering was the unconscious Huangfu Zique.
It's possible that the snake venom had a coma-inducing effect, which is why Huangfu Zique was hit by stones countless times without waking up.
In the face of natural disasters, the human body is so fragile and insignificant.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Zhen completely lost her sense of direction.
But he wasn't too panicked; after all, the male lead shouldn't die so easily.
While others who jump off cliffs are shattered to pieces, the protagonist's jump is not a suicide attempt, but rather a great opportunity awaits them.
This manhunt seems to have been brought forward from what should have been a year later, as Huangfu Zique's long-dormant uncle is plotting to seize power.
In both the first and second playthroughs, Uncle Huangfu only reappeared a year later, so why did he appear earlier in the third playthrough?
After I arrived, I didn't do anything that could have stirred up such a big effect, did I?
In the matter of Huangfu Dabo's usurpation of power, the female protagonist not only won Huangfu Zique's favor, but even Huangfu's wife was grateful to her.
The reason is simple: Madam Huangfu is not the biological daughter of Huangfu Zique's current maternal grandmother at all.
Instead, she was from a prominent family in the capital, and that family is still searching for their lost daughter.
However, they were looking in the wrong direction, focusing all their attention overseas.
Because after the hostile forces took their children, they immediately smuggled themselves out of the country.
This is why Huangfu Zique's current "grandmother" insists on living in the countryside.
After all, the child was one they bought from the capital back then.
If it weren't for Lady Huangfu's own abilities, which allowed her to bring them a continuous stream of benefits...
She started from scratch, built a large business, and eventually married into the Huangfu family. No matter what, her family would never let her return to the capital.
If she's not his biological daughter, then she's not his biological daughter. Under the lure of huge profits from Huangfu Dabo, he actually chose to abandon this adopted daughter.
In the second playthrough, it seems that Huangfu Zique received a notification that his 'grandmother' was critically ill.
Then Lady Huangfu and her husband went back with her.
Huangfu Zique took the female lead alone, but they were attacked on the way back.
If the female lead hadn't been prepared because her eyelids kept twitching before she set off, Huangfu Zique and his parents would have all perished here.
From then on, Madam Huangfu never stopped her beloved son from seeing Bai Luoluo again.
This is very strange.
Huangfu Zique is now in the same situation as in the first playthrough: he is the only one going back to see his grandmother.
How come the whole family is together in the second playthrough?
If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the female lead who's behind this.
It seems we can't rely entirely on the novel to judge the plot's direction, as this matter wasn't described in detail in the text.
Without any light source, the three of them could only search in the dark, following the path Huangfu Zique had slid down.
Compared to Mu Zhen, Liu Si and Lü Bu were the two fastest runners, and even after falling several times along the way, they still sprinted downhill in a panic.
When they reached the bottom, the two of them had turned into mud figures.
"Found it! Found it!" Lu Bu shouted hoarsely as he dug away the mud burying the man.
Mu Zhen and Liu Si immediately went to help.
After some effort, the three of them finally managed to lay the person flat on the grass. Lü Bu shakily placed his finger on the artery on Huangfu Zique's neck.
Only after seeing that his pulse was still beating did he collapse and sit down, completely exhausted.
"It's alright, your pulse is a little weak, but it's still beating!"
Liu Si withdrew his probing hand, his face showing worry: "But the injuries are very serious, and we don't even know what kind of snake bit him."
"Let's go. Just to be safe, we need to get back to the city as quickly as possible."
I wonder if those men in black, having discovered that so many of their companions have disappeared, will come looking for them along the way.
May God bless you, Amitabha!
His good days had just begun, and he didn't want to die here.
Mu Zhen didn't care how badly Huangfu Zique was injured. As long as he didn't die, he was a great benefactor to the Huangfu family.
"Slow down, slow down, he's too tall!" Liu Si took over from the tall Lu Bu and gritted his teeth as he carried the man on his back.
Lu Bu tripped and fell while rushing downhill, and Mu Zhen also sprained her ankle.
From now on, Liu Si will have to carry Huangfu Zique on his back.
Lu Bu first helped Liu Si carry Huangfu Zique on his back, then carried the pile of mechanical crossbows on his shoulder, eleven of them, haha, after returning to school he would go and recruit a few underlings for the boss.
Yes, we should also share some with Yao Meizi.
Mu Zhen had long since stopped trying to be strong, and now he walked with a limp.
He turned and glared at one of the unconscious people, thinking to himself that this matter would definitely not be resolved without a hundred or two billion.
Ah! I miss the days on the cruise ship.
Compared to this life of constant gunfire, he would rather use his old, ingratiating methods to clear away any remaining killing intent.
Little Giant Pit scratched his head. With so many exits, why did the host insist on going to the place with the most enemies?
Fearing that he might really kill himself if he continued like this, I could only helplessly remind him: "Host, how about we change direction?"
My gut feeling is that the southwest direction is good.
There were only two people guarding that area, and they were quite far from the others.
There was actually a path with no enemies, but she didn't want her host to get away with it too easily, as there would be many more crises like this in the future.
Mu Zhen didn't ask any more questions and turned to head southwest.
Hmph, you said you couldn't observe very far, but look, you've already given yourself away after just a little probing! We're still several kilometers away from the intersection.
I didn't dare go back to get my car; they have cars, and so do other people.
The only option left was to flag down a car on the main road, just like last night.
"Don't go!"
As they approached the road, Mu Zhen blocked the two people behind her, her eyes coldly narrowed as she stared ahead.
Because it's a section of road leading off the highway and close to the capital, there are quite a few vehicles on it.
Now that the wind and rain have stopped, and with car headlights occasionally flashing by, the two figures hiding in the tree are not hard to spot.
This little pit is truly a trap, always ready to swindle people.
Damn it, if he hadn't been so alert, he would have been screwed over by her today.
