Shi Guang knew that she was a stubborn person. If her insistence to head up the mountains to look for Lu Yanchen alone was found out by others, she would most likely be scolded badly, as her actions might bring about even more work for the other rescue helpers.

However, none of them could empathize with her feelings right now.

Under such extreme conditions, she could clearly sense that Lu Yanchen was obviously somewhere close by. And yet, there was nothing she could do about it.

What should she do then? Leave him behind? Abandon him?

Now that she was already here, just this fact alone was enough for her to want to head up with them together.

She was watching the rescue helpers earlier on, not letting the areas that they had headed up onto the mountains slip by her eyes.

In the time she had spent waiting, she had roughly understood the way they went about their searches, and coordination.

Despite her sense of direction being horrendous, there was no way she would forget the places and directions those rescue helpers had gone in to look for Lu Yanchen!

As the rain splashed down on her face, Shi Guang could barely make out the situation in front of her, with the torch of her phone merely covering a small area.

The forest that had just been through a landslide did not have any even ground at all, and there were times when Shi Guang found herself tripping over some protruding branches. The only thing that saved her from an entire body of injuries was her athletic wear as she picked herself up time and again and continued pushing forth.

BOOM!

Thunder crackled through the entire forest, causing Shi Guang to leap in shock. But no matter how panic-stricken she was, she bore through it all and walked up still.

In a moment of carelessness, she lost her balance on a slippery slope and slid all the way down with the mud. Filled with fear, the only thing she could do was grab onto any tree nearby. Even though she managed to steady herself, her entire palm’s skin was scraped off and burning fierily.

Heaving heavily, her fear and unrest was purged off momentarily as she felt her courage doubling up. Stepping onto a branch nearby, she propped herself up in one swift motion.

When she regained her balance, she shouted out once more, “Lu Yanchen!”

She must not back down now.

She had already lost her parents.

Her sister was missing.

She must not lose Lu Yanchen as well!

If even he were gone, she truly did not know where else she could find the strength to carry on living.

Even though it might sound too cliché for one to claim that they wouldn’t be able to live without another person, but that was truly the only thought in her mind. Even if she had not realized it in the past, she had realized it now—in the face of death, everything else was so insignificant!

“Lu Yanchen!”

“Lu Yanchen!”

“Lu Yanchen!”

As she yelled out while she walked by, she suddenly heard a faint murmur of a voice. Because it was so faint, she even thought that she was hallucinating for a moment!

Blinking her eyes, Shi Guang spun around where she stood and yelled out even louder, “LU YANCHEN!!”

Before long, she heard a response once more, one that was rather soft and intermittent. Because there was still some distance away from them, the voice was extremely hoarse. But, Shi Guang was thoroughly convinced and confident that it was without a doubt Lu Yanchen’s voice.

Her tears started flowing down uncontrollably as she screamed out even more fanatically, “LU YANCHEN! WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE? YOU CAN HEAR ME, RIGHT?”

She almost forgot that she was carrying the life detector as she immediately looked to it for directions on where to head to.

“LU YANCHEN! WHERE ARE YOU? REPLY ME ONE MORE TIME!”

After a moment, she heard his voice once more, coming forth to her in a slow and measured tone, “Don’t rush, you’re not queuing up to apply for a visa. Just take your time and walk forward slowly. Look for a big tree that’s been pushed down by the mud.”
