Zhou Jinru took off his white coat and threw it on the ground. He destroyed the papers in the medical box and walked quickly to the balcony.
Reaching out to open the window, a cold wind blew in my face.
He looked outside and saw a vast expanse of white, and all he could see was ice and snow.
Songxinshan Sanatorium is built halfway up a mountain. It has a special geographical environment. Outside of winter, you can see the lush trees in the valley. Especially in spring, the ground is full of light-colored flowers, which is particularly beautiful.
The balcony is more than ten meters above the ground and is on a downward slope. For normal people, falling down basically means death.
Zhou Jinru saw it clearly. He took out the white sheets that had been placed in the shower room, wrapped them around his body and tied them with rope several times. Although they were not as white as ice and snow, they still served as camouflage.
Time is running out, and the people at the sanatorium may have discovered Duke Vanya's death, and he must race against time.
At this moment, the door was heard being violently knocked open from the outside, and parts were scattered everywhere when the door lock broke.
"Thomas Courtman, surrender immediately!"
"It came so quickly."
Zhou Jinru looked back and heard the sound of footsteps pouring into the room. He no longer hesitated, turned over and crossed the balcony window, jumped down, and fell to the ground.
After just a few seconds to adjust his posture, a strong air flow wrapped around his body, blowing snowflakes all over the sky. He only heard a muffled sound, and his whole body hit the thick snow heavily.
The moment he landed, he stood up quickly and rolled several times. Almost at the same time, several crossbow arrows shot down from above and fell into the snow one after another, making no difference.
Zhou Jinru curled up and rolled down the hillside. He estimated that it would take at least half an hour for the Usas people to catch up. Such a long time would be enough for him to escape far away.
The Ursus guards standing on the balcony watched with their own eyes as the bastard who had sneaked into the sanatorium escaped. Without special preparation, falling from a height of more than ten meters would lead to death. Even if they wanted to chase him, they were powerless.
"Chase! Use the snowmobile! We have to catch this bastard!"
Some people in the sanatorium knew that the murderer of Duke Vanya came through Speaker Witte, but they all shut their mouths and remained silent. No one dared to mention this.
The death of Duke Vanya was inseparable from Speaker Witte, and the Speaker was loyal to the emperor. It was very clear who wanted the Duke to sleep forever.
Anyone who dares to bring it up at this time is tantamount to getting tired of living.
Dr. Cotterman must die, if not caught, then silenced.
Therefore this problem no longer exists.
…
On the other side, Zhou Jinru rolled continuously for nearly a minute before hitting a dry tree hard. He supported the ground with one hand and slowly got up. His legs were still a little weak when he stood firm.
"I haven't exercised for a long time, so I'm a little weak."
He looked up and saw that there was nothing but dead trees and snow, and there was no sun. There was only the cold wind blowing from the sky to the ground, wrapped in wind and snow, as sharp as a knife.
He had to go, not stay.
According to the original plan, they would meet up in a land town outside the Ursus border three days later. The party that arrived first would wait for two days, and if not, they would continue their operation.
Zhou Jinru took out the compass from his pocket, and after figuring out the direction, he struggled to pull his thigh out of the snow and trudged forward.
He could not walk out of the forest until dark, mainly because his speed was too slow. Without the help of tools, if a person wants to walk out of the snowy forest with his legs, in addition to amazing perseverance, he must also Have extraordinary luck.
This time, it was obvious that the miracle did not come to visit. Zhou Jinru looked at the darkened sky and had no choice but to find a place to sleep on the spot.
He first found a low slope leeward from the wind, which was everywhere in the mountains. He then summoned the black roses and parked them on the other side to act as a low wall. Finally, he divided the bed sheet into two pieces and used the low slope and black roses to form a narrow space for rest.
As for food, he only had two cans with him, which were corn and yellow peaches.
"Try hunting again tomorrow."
Zhou Jinru thought for a while, heated the canned yellow peach, quickly ate the food inside, and then threw a piece of ice and snow into it and heated it into boiling water.
In the past forty years, he spent most of his time alone. When crossing the wilderness, he saw everything from wolves to insects to bandits who blocked the road.
The current difficult situation is actually nothing.
When the water temperature dropped, he ate salty corn and drank water to fill his stomach.
After eating, we rested against the rocks. After a night here, except for a little wind, there was no snow.
At dawn, Zhou Jinru embarked on his journey again.
Due to tearing the sheet into several pieces before, only a small part of his temporary camouflage paint was left, which was shorter than the cape.
However, the pursuers behind them did not catch up, whether they were in camouflage or not.
Four days flew by.
Zhou Jinru hurriedly hurried and finally felt the land city when the delay was about to end. This was also thanks to a transport carriage that happened to be halfway through.
"Thank you for giving me a ride. This is the rest of the fare."
The money given by Zhou Jinru was more than the two transportation trips. As for where he came from and what he did, people who were already struggling to survive would not ask.
He looked really embarrassed. The sheets he had brought out from the nursing home had long been thrown away, and his clothes were torn by branches while walking through the woods. The only thing that was still intact was the watch on his wrist.
Like other land cities on this land, winter nights mean plenty of rest time. People close their doors early and hide in their houses. Therefore, Zhou Jinru is the only one on the street. He is no better than a beggar.
As for Ursus, there is absolutely no shortage of beggars.
"Where did the beggar come from? He's coming to me to beg for food. Get out!"
They were kicked out before they could even enter. Zhou Jinru stood dumbfounded at the door of the small hotel where they met, looking at the fat proprietress on the other side of the door. She was holding a rolling pin in her hand. It seemed that if he made any rash move, he would be brutally beaten. blow.
He couldn't shout, so he had to squat at the door, thinking about how to contact Kelsey and Lilia.
Holding a branch in his hand, he drew a few strokes and saw a pair of cotton boots appear in sight.
Zhou Jinru raised his head, and the first thing he saw was his calves wrapped in cotton trousers. Then he looked up, and saw the silver-white hair with a hint of green. The film woman bent down and looked at him as well.
"hello."
"I am fine."
"So, how's it going now?"
"all is well."
"I can rest assured that."
The Feilin woman was silent for two seconds and pulled up the beggar-like man.
