There is a vertical metal ladder hanging on the wall of this escape patio, and the top is sealed with a cement round cover. Even if it is seen from the outside, it will only be regarded as an ordinary manhole cover for underground drainage.
The cement cover loosened a little, and then someone pushed it away from the inside, and a slender figure jumped out. He held a rope tightly in his hand and began to pull it out. After a while, a smaller figure crawled out from the hole. As soon as he leaned out, he was pulled out by someone outside. Just as she exited the cave, the man's body collapsed again, but he did not fall to the ground. A warm embrace caught her.
It was night at this time, and the place they were in seemed to be a mountain forest. If it weren't for the bright moon and stars above their heads, it would have been so dark that they couldn't even see.
This 20-meter-long straight ladder probably wouldn't have taken more than a minute if Wen Qiao was walking alone, but with Liu Mengwei as a "burden", it took the two of them nearly ten minutes to finally get out of here.
Wen Qiao untied the rope tied around Liu Mengwei's waist, took off his coat and put it on her body.
The body that had just been exercised was slightly steaming in the cold night, making people want to get closer.
"You're a little hypothermic." Wen Qiao said.
"Your coat is like a piece of iron, cold and hard. Before I could do anything, I was frozen to death by your clothes." Despite what he said, Liu Mengwei still wrapped up his clothes, no matter what In this way, it can be regarded as one of the few things I can rely on now.
Wen Qiao ignored her sarcasm and continued: "This should be Yuquan Mountain. There is a medical research institute nearby, which is where I followed you."
"Last time you clearly said you were passing by, but this time you are willing to admit that you were following me?"
Very good, my thinking and memory are very clear. It's probably just first-grade hypothermia. I'll be fine if I get to the hospital in time. Wen Qiao took her arm again, carried her on his back and walked out of the woods.
Liu Mengwei leaned against Wen Qiao's back, and the body temperature of his back warmed her chest, making her trembling hands and feet relax a lot.
"I will compensate you for your things..." Liu Mengwei's head hung on his shoulder, and a cool breath swirled around his neck, numbing it like a mosquito bite.
"Then you have to remember it carefully." Wen Qiao said without mercy.
"You... are simply... the most annoying person I have ever seen..."
"Really? I came to save you with good intentions, but I got such a comment."
"..."
"Stay awake and don't fall asleep... What you just said below... How did you know that I was here and what I wanted to do?" Wen Qiao finally found the opportunity to ask her about this.
"I told you a long time ago, but you still don't believe me..."
"I believe it this time, please say it again."
"I am the Weaver Girl in the sky... I am twenty-five light years away from you. Predicting the future is not a trivial matter. I can still know what will happen twenty-five years from now..."
Oops, he started to lose consciousness so quickly. Wen Qiao felt nervous. Even through his clothes, he could feel that the body of the person behind him was cold and losing warmth.
"Oh, what a pity that piece of chocolate cake... I'm afraid... I'm going to starve to death."
"The fairies in the sky are not eater of earthly things, so you won't starve to death."
"Then I don't want to be a fairy... I would rather be a vampire. In this case, I can have a full meal now." Wen Qiao could feel that her breath was almost cold.
"It's okay if you don't thank me, but you actually want to repay a favor with a grudge. Do you want to turn me into a vampire too?"
"Hmph, I have to have a backrest before I die."
They chatted randomly, and the stars in the sky pointed the way. As long as they walked east, even if they couldn't find the hospital immediately, they could still walk to the road and find a way out of trouble.
They had just walked a hundred meters when a ray of light appeared out of nowhere and flew past the two of them.
Wen Qiao's reaction was extremely alert. In the next second, he had already used the cover of a tree next to him to disappear into the darkness again.
His nerves became tense again, and he listened to the movements around him with bated breath. I wonder how many people are here? If there are no more than two people, you can still use the same trick just now to achieve a quick victory. He was still holding the two silver needles that Liu Mengwei had given him just now. As soon as the target showed up, he was confident that he would hit it with one shot.
"Is it Miss Liu?" After a moment of silence, the person opposite took the initiative to break the silence and spoke first.
"Was it Miss Liu's voice just now? Did I have an auditory hallucination?" The man was still talking, but it sounded familiar.
"No. I heard it too, and I also heard a man's voice." He seemed to be talking to someone, and he seemed to be talking to himself, asking questions and answering questions.
"I'm sick from overwork. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Miss Liu for a long time. I really miss her."
At this moment, another light suddenly appeared, shining in the direction of the speaker. It turned out to be Wen Qiao. He also held a small flashlight in his hand, accurately capturing the person who was also hidden in the darkness. .
It turned out to be a person they had all met, Qiu Yuchuan.
He stood in the dark night, the pale flashlight shining on his face as pale as paper. His sunken eye sockets and thin outline made him look more like a vampire.
Qiu Yuchuan stood motionless in the light as if he had been immobilized, staring in the direction of the light source without blinking. After dozens of seconds, he seemed to finally see the person clearly, and a big smile gradually appeared on his face.
"It's really you!" Qiu Yuchuan ran towards their direction.
"On the 17th, she told me that there will be an Alpha Lyrid meteor shower tonight, and there will be a star landing nearby. It seems that she did not lie to me. That's right, she is the most well-behaved child in the world, and one will never Lying child.”
From April 16 to April 25 every year, there is an active period for a meteor shower near the Lyra constellation. Because its radiant point is located near Alpha Lyra, which is also known as Vega, it is also called the Alpha Lyra meteor. Tonight happens to be April 19th.
Since Qiu Yuchuan is nearby, it should not be far from the research institute. Wen Qiao did not want to delve into why he appeared here now. He just ordered: "Take us back quickly, her current physical condition is very bad!"
Hearing this, Qiu Yuchuan finally put away his playful smile and asked seriously: "What's wrong with her?"
"Secondary hypothermia, mild dehydration, hypoglycemia, hypotension."
"What!" Qiu Yuchuan screamed: "How did it get like this?"
He shined a flashlight into Liu Mengwei's pupils, touched her face, and said with great regret: "Miss Liu, I have told you before that the outside world is very dangerous, and it is safer to live with me. You You just don’t believe it, now you have to reap the consequences, right?”
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wen Qiao was a little angry.
But Qiu Yuchuan didn't seem to hear him and continued: "Oh, by the way, Miss Liu, I have some candy here, what flavor do you want?"
Wen Qiao almost wanted to pull out this guy's tongue and cut it off: "Take them all out!"
Qiu Yuchuan dug into his pockets and took out a bunch of miscellaneous things. Sure enough, there were all kinds of candies, including chocolates, fruit candies, and mints.
Qiu Yuchuan picked up a red candy wrapped in colorful transparent candy wrapper: "This is delicious, Miss Liu, would you like to try it?"
Wen Qiao couldn't help but grab them all, first stuffing the chocolate into Liu Mengwei's mouth, and then peeling out all the remaining colorful candies.
"Open your mouth." Wen Qiao said without mercy.
"I haven't finished eating yet." Liu Mengwei stammered, "How can I eat these weird flavors mixed together?"
"Survive first!"
"That's not necessary..." But before Liu Mengwei could finish her words, Wen Qiao had already stuffed those colorful candies into her mouth. Then, without any explanation, he picked her up again and said to Qiu Yuchuan: "Hurry up and lead the way!"
Although Qiu Yuchuan was walking in front, he still didn't want to stop.
"My candy is such a waste of money. How can I taste it like this?"
Liu Mengwei lay on Wen Qiao's back and echoed: "Yeah, I feel like I took a big sip of chemicals."
However, after replenishing a large amount of sugar, the feeling of physical exhaustion and weakness was indeed relieved. She had successfully escaped from the cage underneath. At this moment, the warm and solid back felt inexplicably reassuring, and she felt a little sleepy without realizing it. , and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
