C1194 Light Through the Dark
After making this decision, Giovanna used the satellite telephone to contact the members of the Rescue Institute in Kano City, Nigeria.
After a period of trekking, the group reached the highway. There was no one on the road, the veterans of Rescue Institute were dragging their exhausted bodies along the road, and the members of the Zodiac Clan were also walking. They were not much better off, although the injuries on their bodies were not fatal, but it was enough to affect their speed.
Was this battle a victory?
If that was the case, it would also be a tragic victory. If Xia Lei had not acted in time, none of the people here would have survived.
Shentu Tianyin walked with a limp and a limp. The exhaustion of her stamina and the blood blisters on the bottom of her feet made her feel very painful, but there was no one here who could carry her on their back like Xia Lei. She walked at the very back of the group and would turn her head to look at Friendship Mining Industry from time to time. She was worried about Xia Lei. She really wanted to share the burden, but she couldn't do anything. This experience made her understand that sometimes money couldn't solve a problem, even if she had 100 billion yuan.
"What do you think boss is going back for?" And will he be in Chad on time to meet us? " In a single moment, Yasuya Khan broke the stifling silence.
"I don't know what he's going back for, but I'm sure he's coming to Chad to meet us." Ye Liena said.
Sayimu sighed, "Sigh, I'll have to properly take a break when I go back this time."
Arresian said: "Let's go to Italy, the Italian girls are passionate."
Several members of the Zodiac Clan began to chat with each other, using this method to relax their tense minds and moods.
On the Rescue Institute's side, Giovanna said to the veteran: "We lost a lot of brothers, but we shouldn't be sad. They just went to heaven. We'll give their parents and their wives and children a generous pension of half a million dollars each. Those who are still alive will receive a reward of $200,000 per person. "
The veterans of Rescue Institute were immediately excited. A lost brother could get five hundred thousand dollars, which was enough for their parents and children to live the rest of their lives comfortably. For a country like Nigeria, where the income of its people was only two thousand dollars, it would take them a hundred years to earn that much money!
Whether they were dead or alive, their efforts had paid off.
This was actually Giovanna and the others' skill. They wanted to let the people of the Rescue Institute know that in the future, when they fought for the Rescue Institute, whether it was the people who were alive or the people who died, they would not need to worry. This way, more and more people would be willing to fight for the Rescue Institute in the future.
After calming down the emotions of the Rescue Institute Army veterans, Giovanna returned to Rosa, Stella and Theresa's side. She turned his head to look at Shentu Tianyin, who was walking at the back of the line. She walked towards Shentu Tianyin, "Do you need help?"
Shentu Tianyin shook his head, "No need, thank you."
"We may have a long way to go, will you? If you can't, I can let an old soldier carry you. " Giovanna said.
"No, I can walk. I don't need anyone to carry me." Shentu Tianyin rejected him flatly. In this world, the only man who could touch her body was Xia Lei.
Giovanna shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you say."
Shentu Tianyin walked forward with a limp, cold and arrogant. But that was her charm.
Just then, Rosa suddenly said: "A car is coming over, hide!"
Everyone pulled back from the road and hid in the forest by the side of the road.
At the end of the road, seven or eight cars were rapidly approaching. As they were driving, the lead car flashed a few times.
"It's one of us! Our car is here! " Giovanna said loudly.
Everyone had returned to the road. The cars that had rushed over to pick them up had also driven over. They turned around and stopped by the side of the road.
"Miss Shen-tu, get on the carriage." Giovanna said.
Shentu Tianyin nodded her head, but when she walked to the side of the car, she could not help but look back. She had always been looking forward to the scene where Xia Lei suddenly appeared in front of her with his favorite smile. However, the road at the back was empty. There was no one there.
Shentu Tianyin sighed in disappointment. However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, a familiar figure suddenly walked out from the forest beside the road. She was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the person clearly, she suddenly let out a cheer and ran towards that person.
Xia Lei returned.
Shentu Tianyin limped in front of Xia Lei and threw herself into his arms, tears flowing down from her eyes. She choked, unable to speak.
"His feet are hurting and he's running so fast?" Xia Lei said with a smile. Shentu Tianyin's softness dispersed the coldness in his heart, making him temporarily forget about those terrible things.
"Even if you have no legs, crawl over here." Shentu Tianyin said. After this journey of blood and fire, she had changed and understood what she wanted.
"Can I carry you over?" Xia Lei's voice was very gentle.
Shentu Tianyin lightly bit her lips, "Okay."
If it was the past, she would definitely not reveal a side that was as obedient as a bird in front of so many people. But now, she was willing, because he was Xia Lei.
Xia Lei carried Shentu Tianyin by the waist and then walked towards the carriage with large strides.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shentu Tianyin and Xia Lei, but Shentu Tianyin did not care at all. Xia Lei's hand was at the crook of her leg. At her waist, she felt that it was the warmest and safest arm in the world. She wanted to lie there for the rest of her life.
"Boss, didn't you say that we would go first and meet up with us in Chad?" Ye Liena asked.
Xia Lei said: "The matter has been settled, let's go."
"Get in! Get in the car! " Giovanna shouted loudly, "Let's leave this place!"
Xia Lei said: "There's no need to drive so fast, no one will chase after us."
No one knew what happened, but Xia Lei's return made everyone feel at ease.
The retreating motorcade galloped on the road that cut through the forest of no return, getting further and further away. In the deep blue night sky, a full moon silently emitted a cold and clear light. Countless stars adorned the sky, distant and mysterious. It was as if an ancient and mysterious language were saying something that no one could decipher.
Inside the carriage, Xia Lei turned his head to look in the direction of the Friendship Mining Industry, and then said to Shentu Tianyin who was beside him: "Tianyin, your Seventh Uncle is already dead."
"Did the Americans do it?" Shentu Tianyin asked.
Xia Lei said: "I don't know if it's Americans or people from the Boca scared land, but it seems like your Seventh Uncle had a deal with those people and betrayed you and the Friendship Mining Industry. However, for some reason, they killed him."
"So be it." Shentu Tianyin said.
"Also, immediately after you go back, you will file a complaint with the Nigerian Government, asking it to come forward and protect the Wanxiang Group's assets."
"Is this useful?"
"Useless."
"Then I don't want it." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei said: "I do want it or not, if you don't want it, then don't want it."
Shentu Tianyin rested her head on Xia Lei's shoulder, "I only want you."
Xia Lei laughed.
"Yes, yes." Giovanna, who was driving, coughed, "Saint Ray, should we go directly to Chad or to Rescue Institute's stronghold to recuperate?"
"Let's go to the Rescue Institute to rest." Xia Lei said: "The CIA are here. Many people, let them gather some information. This way, it will be safer."
"Alright." Giovanna said. From the rearview mirror, she saw Shentu Tianyin leaning on Xia Lei's shoulder. Looking at his blissful expression, the corner of her mouth slightly raised.
Coincidentally, her sister Stella was also using the rearview mirror to peek at Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin. Seeing Shentu Tianyin in her embrace, the corner of her mouth slightly raised.
"Saint Ray?" Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "Why do you call me that?"
Giovanna and Stella said at the same time, "There's no need for that, we'll call you that from now on, Saint Ray."
Xia Lei, "..."
The caravan left the forest, entered Kano City, and arrived at the ancient building.
The four of them started to deal with the matter of the pension and bonus, while the members of the Zodiac Clan stayed in the house to heal their wounds and rest. Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin were arranged to be in a separate room.
As he entered the room, an oil painting that was hung on the wall caught Xia Lei's attention.
The painting depicted a forest, a forest shrouded in darkness. However, there was a snow-white beam of light shooting towards the dark sky from within the forest. In the white light, one could vaguely see the figure of a person with wings. In the lower right corner of the oil painting, there was a note in English: The Forest of No Return, the homeland of the elves.
Elves?
There were obviously no elves in this world, but there was a strange and mysterious pyramid in that forest. Maybe it was because the ancient Kano saw the snow-white light beam and some other elf-like creature appeared, that he gave the forest the name "Irreducible Forest."
Xia Lei suddenly thought of something. "Tianyin, I went into the cave for a period of time. Was there any light outside?"
"Light?" Shentu Tianyin was a little confused.
Xia Lei said: "Right, light, do you see it?"
Shentu Tianyin thought about it seriously, "There, seems to be in the direction of the mines. I saw a flash of white light fly into the sky. I thought it was a searchlight, so I didn't pay attention. "
"How long did it last?"
"A second or two. It's gone." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei's line of sight once again landed on that oil painting. It was not very old, roughly a few decades old. The person who painted this painting didn't have a name, but in terms of style, it was actually a very ordinary oil painting with a limited level of skill. But it was this oil painting that had been verified tonight.
There had always been a saying that pyramids were built by aliens, and the pyramids in mine No. 13 and in the mountainside on the outskirts of Jerusalem were not built by humans at all. From the looks of it, they were really here to send out signals and communicate with the alien civilization!
Then, is Zhu Xuanyue's comrade coming?
Was the world coming to an end?
Xia Lei's heart felt heavy.
"What happened?" Shentu Tianyin asked with concern.
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "It's nothing." He looked at her, his voice softening. "When you go back, do whatever you want. Don't just think about your career."
Shentu Tianyin laughed, "You said it yourself, I can do whatever I want?"
Xia Lei nodded his head, "Mn, I'll do whatever I want."
"Then come and bathe with me." Shentu Tianyin held Xia Lei's hand and walked towards the bathroom, "I still have a little antidote, you won't let me finish using it, right?"
Xia Lei, "..."
