“By the way, what’s your name?”
“My name is Yi Linxi.”
“Linxi, what a nice name.”
When they reached the intersection, Linxi suddenly said, “Let’s take a side path. I know a shortcut.”
Even if he hadn’t said it, Chu He would not have dared to drive the car on the streets and show themselves. She knew that there must be many troops stationed there. Hence, she followed Linxi’s directions and drove to the side lane.
The so-called side lanes were extremely bumpy and difficult to drive on. These paths in the forest were muddy paths that the locals had dug, and they were not paved with cement.
They drove on till it was dawn again. Chu He did not dare to stop to rest. Although it was dangerous to drive while fatigued, this was a jungle in the wilderness. There were wild beasts, wolves, lions, cheetahs… Very dangerous.
She drove all the way to the factory that Linxi had pointed out. After getting out of the car, she looked around to make sure there was no danger before letting Linxi get out of the car.
The entrance area of the factory was quiet and devoid of life.
Chu He took out the pistol from her waist and loaded it. She looked at the surroundings warily and held Linxi’s hand tightly with her left hand until they walked into the factory. She pushed open the door and saw dust in the moonlight.
The boy waved his hand and coughed a few times.
Chu He quickly covered his mouth and shushed him. “Don’t make a sound.”
“Ooooooh…” Linxi nodded and shut his mouth obediently, not making another sound.
Chu He pushed open the door and walked in. She took out the night vision device from her bag and wore it over her eyes. This way, even in the dark environment, she could clearly distinguish the terrain.
Suddenly two figures appeared in her line of sight. They were hiding behind a wall. They were the local black men with guns.
Even though they were black men, it was hard to recognize this under the cover of the night.
However, Chu He’s night vision device had thermal imaging. Hence, she spotted them immediately. She stopped in her tracks and said in the local language, “We are not a rebel army.”
The black men did not expect her to discover them. They looked at each other but remained vigilant. They tightened their grip on their guns.
Chu He stopped advancing and took half a step back. She kept the pistol and raised her hands to show her sincerity. “Don’t worry, you’re safe. I won’t hurt you!”
Only then did the few black citizens let down their guard and raised a lamp. Under the light, Chu He was shocked to find that all the factory employees and the civilians who had made their way here were hiding on the second floor. They nervously looked down at the unarmed woman and child. Only then did they let down their guard.
“Who are you?”
“My husband is trapped in the fallen area. I’ve come to look for him.” Chu He asked again, “Is there anyone from Wirth?”
A man in a tattered suit stood up and asked curiously, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Gu Jinglian.”
“President Gu?”
Upon hearing this, that person immediately rushed down from upstairs and approached her. He sized her up and asked suspiciously, “You are…”
“I’m his wife.”
“Wife?”
The man became more suspicious. “Why have I never heard that President Gu has a wife?”
“We just registered our marriage.”
Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Chu He gave him a few more pieces of private information about the Gu family and the Gu Corporation. That person finally believed her but looked guilty.
“When we evacuated from Wirth a few days ago, we were separated.. There has been no news from President Gu either.”
