Bai Muchuan wrapped her tightly in his arms before looking at the door with his sharp eyes.

Twenty seconds!

Nineteen seconds!

Soon, there would be an explosion!

Eighteen seconds!

Seventeen seconds!

Ding!

A sudden voice message came in!

“Program terminated! Congratulations for you both are going to the nether together—”

Thud!

The door opened!

It opened!

The glaring sky and the snowy weather reflected into the room. Xiang Wan could not open her eyes for a moment.

The next second, she was lifted off the ground...

Bai Muchuan’s speed was like a hunting wild leopard; his strength was like a sprinting tiger. He picked her up by the waist in his arms, swept her up forward, and grabbed the quilt prepared for them. He covered her with that and ran as fast as he could!

Five seconds!

Four seconds!

Three seconds!

Two seconds...

He was counting the time with his heartbeat and saw a big water tank not too far away!

The water tank belonged to the Wen Xin Nunnery. It was made out of stone and filled with seemingly dark colored water with a bad smell. It had been left unused for many years. There were algae grown all over...

Splash!

At the critical moment, Bai Muchuan jumped into the water tank with Xiang Wan. As they got into the water, he pulled the quilt over their heads!

The water splashed in all directions!

Boom! They heard a deafening sound.

The sound of the explosion resonated throughout the area!

There was now a black mushroom-like cloud towering over the surrounding. There were red; flames, as well as white snowflakes in the snowy day...

It was a scene that left an impact in their minds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions came one after another! It was terrible!

“AH!”

Amidst the sounds of explosions, they heard a tragic cry!

It felt painful and heartrending at the same time.

Xiang Wan shouted, “Bai Muchuan!”

...

The one who was hurt and crying in pain was Salimu!

When he was carried down by Quan Shaoteng and the rest of the armed police officers, he was crying and groaning in pain. “Why didn’t anyone tell me that I should hide in that water tank... I think I might have been disfigured and lose my good looks...”

“...” Quan Shaoteng looked up at the sky.

Actually, Salimu had chosen a good place to hide.

It was just that the explosion was too powerful!

He didn’t know what had hit him, and it had hurt him so much he couldn’t stop groaning in pain.

“You should have joined the army to become a commando first. You don’t have the slightest adaptability to danger at all!”

“... If I had gone to the army, who’s going to save all of you today!?”

“Even if you’re not here, there will be others!”

“... Captain Quan!” Salimu’s tears were flowing as the pain had overcome his senses.

“Don’t worry, you won’t die!” Quan Shaoteng did not have the heart to continue poking fun at him. “Do you know, I’ve been hurt similarly like what you’re going through now for about eight to 10 times...”

“Did you die later on?”

“...” Quan Shaoteng waved his fist.

“I’m different from you!” Salimu continued to sob. “What do you know, I’m suffering from internal injuries! I’m hurting inside!”

Quan Shaoteng coaxed him. “You’re hurting inside, where exactly inside?”

Salimu started to cry louder, “Everywhere hurts! Even my face felt scorching. I’m already not born handsome, now this happened... there goes all my chances of getting a wife!”

Quan Shaoteng grunted. “...”

Although Salimu had gotten injured due to carrying out his duties and was considered the hero of this rescue mission, Quan Shaoteng really felt like laughing; it was not nice of him, but he really wanted to do so.

There was a faint evil smirk on his face. He lowered his head and asked Salimu in a low voice.

“I wanna ask you a question, is your little brother hurt?”

Salimu was dazed for an instant.

He did not cry anymore but looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

“...”

“Not hurt, right?”

“... No.”

This child is too honest.

...

The scene was as though came to a standstill.

The two officers who were carrying Salimu were trying to contain their laughter.

“That’s a relief!” Quan Shaoteng lifted a hand as he tried to pat Salimu’s shoulders, but then he thought his action might hurt him so he gave it up halfway. “Since your little brother is well,” he smirked again, “then you need not worry about not finding a wife!”

Salimu finally realized that he was being trolled.

His cheeks were burning in embarrassment which, in turn, made his wounds hurt even more.

“Captain Quan... Stop making fun of me! I’m not as good-looking as you...”

...

Bai Muchuan carried Xiang Wan on his back while he made his way down from the mountain.

Throughout the journey, he did not say a word...

Both of them took some medicine Cheng Zheng brought. They did not know what was the use of the medicine. For Xiang Wan, she felt that her condition did not improve much...

Nevertheless, it was a relief that they need not smell that fragrance anymore. Moreover, after soaking in that smelly water tank and having the snow shower their bodies in the winter day, besides feeling soft and weak and unable to exert strength, she no longer felt hot, impulsive, and irritable...

That feeling was similar to someone splashing cold water on them after being drunk and was now fully sober.

However, Bai Muchuan’s situation seemed to be worse than Xiang Wan!

This guy... was really tough. He did not show any expression after their rescue.

Xiang Wan originally did not want Bai Muchuan to carry her, but he had insisted on doing so. “Your leg can’t take all this walking! Be good!”

The journey down the mountain seemed especially long.

Once again, they had a narrow escape from death, but the two of them remained silent.

Both of them were thinking a lot...

Cheng Zheng had been following them to take care of this two wounded personnel.

He was also donning a poker face without saying a word.

...

Just as Quan Shaoteng, Cheng Zheng must have watched what was happening inside the room ‘live’ as well?

Xiang Wan was wearing a long coat Quan Shaoteng brought. Currently, her head was covered with duckweed and looked kinda pitiful. When she thought of what happened inside the darkroom earlier, a red hue filled her cheeks, and she felt really embarrassed.

She would furrow her eyebrows at one moment, and lower her head at another. At this very moment, she seemed to be deep in her own thoughts.

Cheng Zheng’s eyebrows were closely knitted when he saw that. “What’s wrong?”

Xiang Wan paused for a moment.

She turned to look at him. “Dizzy, blurred vision, and my chest feels stuffy!”

Cheng Zheng pointed at the foot of the mountain. “In about four to five miles away, there’s a small hospital in a small town. You can seek treatment there.”

Xiang Wan heaved a sigh. “Alright...”

She glanced over at Bai Muchuan’s side profile. His face was pale with a solemn expression. “... Captain Cheng, I would like to know... the video that was filmed in the darkroom, is it real-time transmission?”

Transmission? Cheng Zheng chewed over this word.

“You’re referring to... the internet?”

Xiang Wan nodded her head unnaturally.

Frankly, Xiang Wan had gotten used to the verbal abuses on the internet. Although she knew gossips were fearsome, she had developed some tolerance against them. Looking at his somber expression and that he had not said a word ever since... she was worried about Bai Muchuan not being able to take it.

Cheng Zheng shook his head. “No, Salimu said earlier that an artificial intelligence system controlled it. He said the video should be uploaded to a designated location, but...”

He paused for a while. “I searched the internet just now, but I didn’t find it!”

If the video was being uploaded to a designation location, that means Meng Chi should have gotten it!

However, since he had gotten it, why didn’t he post it online and let the netizens laugh at them again?

Could it be that he was still fleeing for his life? That’s impossible, right?

Xiang Wan could not understand, but Bai Muchuan was able to answer her query in no time. “It’s because he lost this game!”

He lost!

The hot and passionate love—failed to meet his desired result!

A dramatic and spectacular death scene—was not achieved!

How would Meng Chi behave if the artificial intelligence system transmitted the video to him in real-time?

Would he lock himself up in a room and cry bitterly?

Perhaps he would start coming up with new plans to deal with them?

As Xiang Wan deliberated over this, she kept quiet for a while.

Bai Muchuan was carrying her on his back, so he could not look at her expression. Nonetheless, he detected her emotions.

“What’s worrying you?” he asked.

Such tacit understanding!

Xiang Wan’s arms held his neck tighter.

“I feel that this person...” She tried to organize her thoughts and changed her opening. “Did you notice that this person... Let’s not bother if he is Meng Chi or not. Let’s just call this unknown person behind the scenes as Manipulator X. He’s actually most concerned about the process of killing someone and not necessarily the result...”

In other words, he enjoyed the process when someone is going to die.

“Mm...” Bai Muchuan responded coolly but did not comment on it.

Xiang Wan could not see his expression, either. She was puzzled about it when she heard Cheng Zheng’s voice. “... Do you need help?”

“No need.” Bai Muchuan sounded firm.

Cheng Zheng looked at his pale face that had turned red, as well as the droplets of sweat flowing down his cheeks. “Are you sure?”

“Mm!”

He did not want others to help him carry Xiang Wan.

He did not want others to help him take care of Xiang Wan.

Or maybe... he did not trust him anymore?

Cheng Zheng walked a long way with them before he suddenly made a remark.

“... It’s my fault.”

He was referring to the incident where Xiang Wan got abducted, but Bai Muchuan shook his head.

“It’s got nothing to do with you!”

Cheng Zheng remained speechless. “...”

It was obvious Bai Muchuan did not want to talk about it anymore.

...

There was a small town a few miles at the foot of the mountain.

Actually, it could come across as ridiculous by calling it a town.

This was because it was ancient just like the other places in Nanmu.

Although this town was quite small, it had rather complete public amenities. There were not only shops, but there was also a small hotel there.

The townsfolk said there used to be a lot of people coming to Wen Xin Nunnery to pray in the past. Many people came all the way there to pray as they heard many people got what they prayed for. Hence, the townsfolk could depend on these people for their livelihood. In recent years, however, hardly anyone came to the nunnery anymore, and the people living there had their livelihoods affected.

There were limited resources there.

However, they still went ahead to stay in the town for a night.

The sky was getting dark, and the snow was getting heavier. The ground had accumulated a thick layer of snow. It was no longer safe to continue their journey.

Moreover, there were still many corpses up in the mountain. They still needed to get their Nanmu colleagues to survey the site and do some necessary preparations.

Their only problem would be their injured colleagues.

Bai Muchuan had sent men to bring Salimu to the town hospital to seek treatment.

He also went to the hospital while carrying Xiang Wan on his back.

After sending her to the hospital, he went to a small clothing store in the town. He then bought some clothes and came back!

In fact, Xiang Wan’s injury was well taken care of by Cheng Zheng.

After experiencing such a soul-stirring event, her pain threshold had increased. At this moment, the most uncomfortable thing was her being wet all over—wet clothes, wet dirty hair...

It made her very uncomfortable.

Therefore, when she turned around and saw Bai Muchuan’s drenched appearance before her with bags of clothes in his hands, her eyes were filled with joy.

It was a form of tacit understanding.

She needed not to tell him, and he already knew what she wanted.

There was gratitude in her eyes. “Thank you!”

Bai Muchuan came over, patted her head, and turned to Cheng Zheng.

“How’s her condition?”

Cheng Zheng had stayed at the hospital and cooperated with the doctor to perform a check up on Xiang Wan. He glanced at Bai Muchuan from the corner of his eye, as well as the bags in his hands, and then he looked at his injured arm.

“She’s alright! You’re the one... who should get a check-up done.”

Bai Muchuan uttered. “I’m fine. A re-dressing on my wound will be enough!”

Cheng Zheng got angry when he heard him say that. “Who’s the doctor here? Is it you or me?”

Bai Muchuan looked at him coldly. “Both of us are not doctors.”

Cheng Zheng: “...”

Both of them had a mini staring contest for a few seconds; somehow, it felt like there were sparks flying between them.

A doctor nudged his glasses. He looked at the one on the left and then on the one on the right and pointed to himself.

“I’m the real doctor! Come and get your check up done!”
