Chapter 460 - 460: Emotional Exchange with Miss Chen (6)
Upon hearing this, Su Yun fell silent for a moment before gently shaking his head. “Actually, my life has only begun to become exciting recently. Initially, I only wanted to make a living through the livestream, but I was gradually sucked into a vortex because of some things. The few days I was trapped here should be the most peaceful days I had slept during this period of time. At least I know that no assassins will suddenly come looking for me here. There won’t be so many people who want my life eyeing me covetously.”
Su Yun only used this opportunity to sigh, but Chen Jie’s eyes revealed a hint of heartache. She was clearly only a few years older than Su Yun and was only in her early thirties. However, perhaps because of her status, she had always treated Su Yun as a junior.
At the very least, she could not imagine how Su Yun, who was just about to graduate from university, could survive until now in such a state and still be so optimistic. The two of them chatted for a long time. In an environment with no concept of time, they did not have to worry about time.
They chatted from Tiannan to Haibei, from the past to the future. Only then
did Su Yun realize that it had been a long time since he had revealed his heart to someone like this.
Chen Jie also felt that her life, which had always been very tense to her, seemed to have suddenly slowed down. In the end, the two of them entered the tent together, but there was still a narrow gap between the two of them. They maintained some distance from each other.
However, this situation often did not last long. After falling asleep, the two of them would always lean against each other because of the sudden drop in temperature.
The next day, when Chen Jie woke up, she realized that she was already nestled in Su Yun’s arms. She immediately sat up smartly, her chest heaving violently. However, as the days passed, Chen Jie seemed to be used to waking up. The two of them tacitly did not discuss this matter, but the distance between them seemed to be slowly shortening.
Su Yun still repeated the same training every day. However, in order to minimize the training time, he constantly increased his strength. From the beginning, Su Yun only targeted a piece of wood. Now, he stood in the cold river every day and swung his saber into the water.
Not only did the blade have to break through the resistance of the water, but it also had to be unaffected by the resistance to allow its strength to be unleashed more smoothly. Naturally, it would become more strenuous.
However, Su Yun still did not give up. He was standing in the cold river, so every time he ended his training, he was basically frozen to the core.
Chen Jie did not know what Su Yun was doing, and what was the point of doing so? However, she would not ask or question. She would only silently hand Su Yun the clothes that she had placed by the bonfire to warm up as soon as possible.
As the two of them spent more and more time together, they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding.
Su Yun trained day after day, and Chen Jie would take the initiative to take care of Su Yun. During this period, Su Yun’s comprehension of the wooden saber in his hand underwent a subtle change. It was as if he could vaguely sense a mysterious feeling!
This change also greatly increased Su Yun’s confidence. It made him realize that he might have found the direction to the second realm. Although he did not know if this would be of any use for his subsequent escape, he at least saw some hope. Therefore, he worked even harder in his cultivation.
The two of them would always sit by the bonfire and chat during their break, sharing their unforgettable experiences. From time to time, they would tease each other. To the two of them, it was one of the few joys in the boring environment.
Even though the two of them would always do something serious before sleeping and separate a dividing line, they would always instinctively snuggle together after falling asleep. This subtle change was also constantly affecting the two of them, so much so that this isolated place seemed to not be so cold and terrifying anymore.
The only problem was that there was a shortage of food, and the wound began
to inflame and worsen. There was less and less time left for the two of them.
Time passed day by day. Nine days had passed since the collapse of Cangluan Mountain. Everyone on the ruins had sorrow written all over their faces.
Although no one was willing to say it, how could they not know in their hearts?
After nine days, Su Yun’s chances of survival were even slimmer. For a human to last nine days in the ruins, unless a miracle happened, there was no such record in the world at the moment. In the past few days, there has been continuous rain. The excavation work of the rescue team was very difficult.
During this period, there were even a few mudslides on Cangluan Mountain because of the heavy rain, causing some places that had been cleared with great difficulty to be buried again. The higher-ups of the various worlds were very concerned about this. At the same time, everyone’s hearts were gradually filled with despair.
Nine days had passed. Could Su Yun, who was buried deep underground, return safely? In a situation where oxygen was thin and there was no food or water source, such a possibility was almost impossible.
Now, the only thing that was supporting Feng Shaoyu and the others to continue the search and rescue operation might be the obsession in their hearts. No matter what, they had to find Su Yun. If he was alive, they had to see him. If he was dead, they had to see his corpse.
The news about the collapse of Cangluan Mountain on the Internet was no longer as restless as before. As far as the eye could see, all the words related to this matter carried a hint of loneliness and despair..
