Chapter 49: A Narrow Escape

  To find new life in desperate situations

  "What's on your mind, little girl?"

  Gong Meng smiled lightly and walked to the railing, standing beside Yao Jing.

  They are now on a large command ship on the Yangtze River. All blasting operations have stopped, and all cranes have been recalled. Gong Meng led Liu Kai and Yao Jing onto this white command ship.

  On the river surface, they can more intuitively observe the situation of the tunnel.

  On both sides of the Yangtze River, workers are risking their lives to wrap massive steel cables around the exterior structure of the tunnel in an attempt to slow down its descent.

  "What's wrong?" Yao Jing and Gong Meng were also considered familiar with each other. She looked at the rolling Yangtze River, her face expressionless.

  "Just wonder, you think if I'm in the tunnel, would Lin Ge also go in with me?"

  Yao Jing's face clearly darkened, and even her bright, spirited eyes dimmed somewhat.

  "Silly girl." Gong Meng burst out laughing. "Last time Lin Yu, for your sake, dared to single-handedly take on 40 Japanese special agents, can't that explain the problem?"

  Thinking of that day, Lin and for the sake of protecting himself, alone with a body full of scars, drew away all the enemies for himself, and a sweet arc appeared on Yao Jing's mouth involuntarily.

  Her face, which had been somewhat melancholic, finally showed some spirit. She stood in front of the railing, stretching her arms out towards the gradually darkening sky with a big yawn, as if she wanted to shake off all her worries and concerns.

  "Brother Gong, do you think I'm being too ungrateful?" Yao Jing turned her head around, already with a face full of smiles. "Lin Yu risked his life for me, yet here I am complaining like a resentful wife."

  "Silly child, do you care about him?" Gong Meng chuckled and his eyes drifted to the river. "I really envy that kid, I don't know what he did in his past life. He must have had a auspicious ancestral grave, to have found such a good girl like you."

  "Don't talk nonsense." Yao Jing was after all a girl, and as soon as Gong Meng opened his mouth, her face had already turned bright red.

  Looking at her shy appearance, Gong Meng burst out laughing.

  The two of them stood facing each other, laughing and laughing, until neither of them could make a sound.

  "Palace... Brother Palace... You said, you said, you said Lin, Brother Lin will be okay?" Under the gradually darkening night sky, Yao Jing's eyes were shining brightly. But in those beautiful pupils, there were crystal-like tears.

  "It'll be fine..." Wang Meng forced a smile, lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, patting the railing as he loudly said: "Hmph, that kid's got a hard life, even ** couldn't kill him back then. How could a small tunnel possibly trap him? Hmph, he must have already found a way out."

  "I hope so, I hope so. He will be out soon, right?" Yao Jing murmured to herself, her hand gently stroking the necklace on her neck. The unique pendant was a button. It was a token of their love that they had exchanged during the life-and-death moment they shared together.

  "Lin Ge, you must come back." Yao Jing silently prayed in her heart.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Lin touched the pendant at her chest lightly, a small button with an adorable appearance. For some reason, although it was so natural to hold Chen Yun in her arms at this moment, Lin felt guilty in her heart.

  Extremely extremely much guilt.

  He knew that the person was Yao Jing. He touched the button and thought of Yao Jing's lovely and quirky appearance, her pitiful expression when she ate snails alone, her family background, and many, many more things...

  Sorry, sorry...

  Lin Yu was silently reciting in his heart.

  "Ah..."

  Suddenly a shrill scream broke the dead silence. Chen Yun and Lin Yu turned their heads at the same time, but saw a shocking scene. Tens of thousands of cockroaches and various insects suddenly appeared on the water surface. Those disgusting little things rushed into the rest room like crazy.

  These strange insects, and even a few mice scattered among them, immediately brought on a burst of screams.

  "Oh no, heaven! Are we going to become food for these guys?"

  Many people screamed.

  Lin Yu knew that despair had made them lose their minds. Even when facing insects, they couldn't keep a calm mind anymore.

  Chen Yun didn't lose her mind, but as a natural cleanliness freak, she was still frightened by these disgusting little things.

  She burrowed into Lin Yu's arms like a frightened rabbit.

  He looked up at Lin Yu and found him with a surprised expression.

  "I know!!! I know!!! I know where the road is!!!" Lin Yu stood up, hugging Chen Yun tightly and kissing her fiercely.

  "I know where the road is now!!!"

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, with only one thought in their minds. This Commander-in-Chief, could he have gone mad?

  "They know the way, they know the way!!" Lin Yu excitedly shouted while pointing at the insects all over the ground: "Insect's sense of smell!!! Insects' sense of smell is more than 100 times more sensitive than humans! They must have found the way!!!! Quick!! Follow them!!!"

  The crowd finally came to their senses.

  At this time, the small insects that are usually considered extremely disgusting, now seem so adorable!!! Everyone is staring tightly at these little things.

  The insects' goal was very clear, that table leaning against the innermost wall of the rest room. Without any hesitation, almost everyone rushed up and overturned the table with one hand.

  At this time, who still has the mood to care about whether the worm is disgusting or not?

  Behind the table, there was indeed a hole the size of a bowl. Countless insects were frantically crawling out of that small hole. These fragile and lowly lives also felt the fear of death. They were desperately trying to save their own lives.

  The wall next to the cave was actually made of earth. Before Lin Yu could give any orders, several strong men had already rolled up their sleeves and were frantically digging with every tool they could use. Even Lin Yu himself was squeezed aside.

  Very soon, the cave expanded rapidly.

  It can be seen that there was originally a door here, but it was later artificially sealed off.

  If Lin's judgment was correct, this was that passage leading to Metro Line 1 which nobody knew about.

  This is their only possible way out now.
