CHAPTER 774: 774 ACCIDENT

Along the way, Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense was fully alert, but she didn’t spot the two of them.

They both had special codes. Zhang Chunsheng was searching all the way.

Although Zhang Chunsheng seldom carried out tasks, he was responsible for security, so he understood the situation here.

There were quite a few marks left by the two along the way. They searched while walking. The vegetation here was particularly dense.

Yuanyuan wasn’t timid, but a small unnamed animal suddenly jumping out would still startle her.

She hated this environment, sultry, with not only the fresh scent of plants but also a decaying smell.

This made her extremely irritable, which was reflected on her face.

"Don’t like it?"

Yuanyuan nodded. Who could like this place? Who knows what kind of damn task is here?

The two had been walking for a day. There were still marks. But did the two of them go too far?

At night, they couldn’t see the road, and relying solely on the flashlight’s light was impossible.

Zhang Chunsheng collected some branches along the way. The two of them sat around the fire, eating pancakes. Fortunately, it was this season.

"Yuanyuan, you rest, I’ll keep watch."

"No need. You rest, you’re the main force during the day and need to preserve your strength."

Zhang Chunsheng looked at this woman, feeling a little bitter inside. He didn’t insist further and lay down directly.

Yuanyuan just sat on the ground. She was quite tired since anyone would be after walking for several hours non-stop.

But she really didn’t dare to sleep now. Without hearing any large creatures howling, there was nothing within her Divine Sense range, yet she just didn’t dare to sleep.

Sitting like this was quite uncomfortable, but for safety’s sake, she endured it.

She thought about Chengzi and Da Linzi.

She figured there shouldn’t be enemies here, the biggest possibility was being trapped. Even if there were beasts, they could escape.

There were too few reference points here; everything looked almost the same. Just how far were they actually from here?

According to Daqing’s words, they had been missing for five days. The greatest possibility is that they hadn’t entered here five days ago. They only made contact with Daqing after entering.

Based on the time calculation, they should have been in here for at least more than four days.

Judging by the marks they left, they should have been fine in the first couple of days.

If it weren’t for Chengzi and Da Linzi, they wouldn’t have come over no matter what; it really had nothing to do with her.

If it weren’t for them truly being kind to her, she wouldn’t have come here to take risks.

With this kind of random thoughts all night, the third day dawned at six, and after eating, the two continued on their way.

Zhang Chunsheng also knew Yuanyuan wasn’t in a good mood, so the two basically didn’t speak.

They stopped to rest again the second night. Yuanyuan felt a bit restless. This place really felt uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.

"You sleep."

Yuanyuan nodded; she wouldn’t act tough. "Wake me up in the middle of the night."

Half-asleep, she always felt something was wrong, like her whole body was tensed up, subconsciously.

She woke up in the middle of the night without Zhang Chunsheng needing to call her. "You sleep, I’ll take over."

Around three in the morning, Yuanyuan felt as if something was approaching, but her Divine Sense couldn’t see anything. This had never happened before. How could this be?

She became even more nervous, gripping the gun in her hand, on high alert.

But there really was no development of any kind. Why did she have this feeling?

Her head ached, was it from overusing her Divine Sense? She glanced at Zhang Chunsheng, who was sleeping soundly. Under the guise of the water bottle, she drank a cup of the Spiritual Spring Water. Suddenly, the feeling of tension became even more pronounced.

This left her even more perplexed. Not only did she not relax, but she also became even more tense.

"Could it be a ghost?" Yuanyuan muttered quietly.

Suddenly remembering the bracelet in the space that was made of an unclear material, she used her bag to cover it and wore it on her wrist.

She didn’t know if it was psychological, but she felt much more relaxed.

In her past life, she had read introductions about the primeval forest. There were indeed many unexplainable phenomena. She likely encountered such a thing.

The day broke. The two continued forward. The marks were still very clear; theoretically, if one were trapped, they should be able to find their way out following the marks, right?

By afternoon, Zhang Chunsheng couldn’t find any more marks. Now the two stopped moving.

"Yuanyuan, the two of them should be nearby." They retreated to the location of the last mark.

Just now, Yuanyuan had already used her Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, and there was nothing special.

"Be careful."

Yuanyuan nodded. The two separated to search. With only a few days, surely there would be some traces left?

But they were both disappointed. There was no discovery around.

Yuanyuan suddenly probed the underground with her Divine Sense. There was no discovery either.

Now both of them were worried. Zhang Chunsheng told Yuanyuan to wait here while he went to gather firewood.

Yuanyuan stood there, feeling the place was exceedingly strange no matter how she looked. But she couldn’t pinpoint why.

She looked at the marks left on the ground. This last one seemed different from those she’d seen before.

But these things were only understood by them, there was no way anyone else had altered them.

She waited for a quarter hour, but Zhang Chunsheng still didn’t return. Yuanyuan forced herself to wait another five minutes and still no one came back.

This was definitely not right. Yuanyuan extended her Divine Sense again, but found nothing.

Now she was certain. The problem must be here.

It wouldn’t be a problem if she were trapped for a long time, but the other three couldn’t last; they wouldn’t have enough food and water to sustain them.

Yuanyuan drank another cup of Spiritual Spring Water. She needed to calm down.

She didn’t dare to openly use the space. Though she couldn’t see anything special, who knew if others could see her? It was better to remain cautious.

She took out a piece of pastry and ate it slowly. Fortunately, Zhang Chunsheng had most of the food on him, so he could hold out longer.

She sat down directly at the marked spot. There were already some dry branches here. This was what the two of them had collected along the way.

She didn’t light them, just sat there.

She wondered if there would be any discoveries tonight.

Zeng Hongling felt uneasy ever since Yuanyuan left. She was worried, afraid something unexpected would happen.

Yang Liulang came over, wanting Zeng Hongling to pick some furniture.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing the listless Zeng Hongling, Yang Liulang was really not used to it. From childhood till now, this girl was either fiery or at least lively and cheerful.

"Yuanyuan left for something, and I don’t know why. I just went to the police station to answer a call in the morning, and after Zhang Chunsheng came back, the two left." Zeng Hongling finished speaking and sighed, feeling quite regretful for not giving Yuanyuan more food.
